What My Neighbor
Says
Is of Interest to McConnelsvjlle
Folks


When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and 9th
er kidney ills-and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering.
that persons advice is of untold
value to friends and neighbors. The
following case is only one of many
thousands, but it is that of McCon-
neIsville resident. Who could ask
for a hetter example?
Mrs. Jane Davis, Fifth st, says:
Hard work weakened nv Kidneys
and caused lame lack. Sometimes a
bearing down pain across my kidneys
kept me in misery and again, sharp,
shooting pains darted through my
back. / was dizzy at times and
specks danced before my eyes, blur
ring my sight. My kidneys were
sluggish, too. l saw Doan's Pills
advertised and used box, from
Sears pharmacy. In a short time.
the backache was gone and my kid
neys were normal"
Mrs. Davis is only one of many
McConnelsville people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. If
your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for
DOAN'S PILLS, the same that
Mrs Davis had-the remedy backed
by home testimony. 60 cents at all
dealers. Foster-Milhurn Co., Mfrs,

BURESH CHALLENGES
ALL Who MAKE WEIGHT

Sports Editor,
Wolf Point Herald:
There having been much talk
about the last match between Tom
Alley and myself;-I wish to announce
through The Herald that | am ready
to sign a contract to wrestle any
man in the world at IT'S pounds,
ringside. 1 will put up $3.50 forfeit
money to appear and make the
weight, any time after January Is,
1926. This offer is especially for
Tom Alley for a finish match, win
ner take all. Or / will put $3.50 in
to a purse, Alley to do the same, the
winner to take the purse. Or any
way that Tom wants, to make it
easy on him~elf.
Come on boys, make 175 pounds.
Nobody barred. | still claim the light
heavy weight championship, unde-
feated.
In our last match Alley weighed
1872 pounds and I weighed lit
pounds, neither one made ringside
weight. If Tom had not thrown me
over the ropes into a bunch of chairs
he would not have won the mate /.
1t was the first time l have eve
been thrown out of the ring. Any
man will lose if he is thrown over
the ropes, falls four feet into a
bunch of chairs on his head and gets
knocked s~enseless for 80 minutes.
I had three ribs cracked and other
injuries. | don't call this wrestling
I can do this stuff myself but / don't
believe in it. When l win l want to
pin my man on the mat not out in
the audience among the chairs. That
is why we have a mat, to wreStle on.
If / wrestled the other way | would
not want any mat. This way of

TREASURER'S OFFICE
REPORTS ON TAXES

The Roosevelt county t~reasurer's
office this week completed a survey
IN the taxes Of tie county. In the
year 1925 the total of all taxes lev
led including real estate, special i'm
provement, hail, personal, etc, to-
tailed 100000. Of this amount
$266,000 has been collected, $780,
600 is now due and $4,000 delin-
quent. 90 per cent of the personal
taxes have been collected. Of the re-
naming 4 per cent several of the per-
sons owing it have moved out of the
county.
Collections to date are S23, 900 less
than last year at this season. This
is due to several reasons. Personal
taxes were collected earlier than u.s.
ual, last year had a better crop than
this year and consequently many long
delinquencies were paid up; the cur
rent tax levy was $4,000 less than
last year, because many took advan-
tage of the two installment payment
plan.
Delinquencies this year are prac-
tically the same class as last year
and are mostly on abandoned real
estate.
An extremely amusing incident re-
lieved the grind of figuring for weeks
which the force in the treasurer's
office goes through with each time
taxes are figured. A man owning
tract of land near Mondak charged
with taxes amounting to So cents
took advantage of the two INSTALL
ment payment plan.
