Is the same old resolutions witha new coat of varnish. Remember its a poor resolution that will not hold water. Brains can make money but money can’t make brains. Men who are society favorites are seldom a success at anythihg else. Don’t blame the leap year maid for trying to make a name for her- self. You might resolve to get even with the world by paying your debts The small tumbleg is responsible for many of the slips attributed to the cup. There are times when itis advis- ble to keep the door closed that leads to your dome of thought. There’ll probably be no one in heaven better than the average man thinks he will be during the present year. With the new year on, many a man will devote an entire day to repair- ing those pavements made of good intentions.

St. Paul, Jan. .—A. B. Stickney and C. H. F. Smith of St. Paul have been appointed receivers for, the Chicago Great Western Railway company on |Application of Attorney Frank B. Kel- logg by Judge Sanborn of the United States court of appeals. The action was not wholly unlooked for. At a meeting in London between President Stickney and the finance committee, representing the deben- ‘ture stock and the preferred stock A, the action was officially authorized. The receivership is mot the result of the action of any single stock- holder or creditor, but has been taken after careftl conaideration by all par- ties interested, many of the creditors and the board of directors. The immediate reason for the re- eoivership was the failure to obtain an extension of the notes now due and coming due during 1808, which were glven for money borrowed for improve- ment and betterment of the property. The company has spent about $19,000, 000 during the past ten years in lower- ing grades, constructing new bridges, culverts, acquiring additional ‘ter- minals and equipment, double track- ing and in general improvement and betterment of the rallway and has outstanding notes for this purpose to the amount of about $10,000,000. Dur: ing the last spring a plan for financ- ing the road was agreed to by the board of directors and the finance committee, but owing to the strin- geoncy in the money market and other unforeseen causes they have been un- able to carry it out. The earnings of the company were very materially decreased during the eutumn by a strike at the shops, which tied up the equipment. The strike was won by the company, but the damage had been done. The raceivership will be temporary pending the time required to carry through the plan of financing the road. Everything possible has been done to avold a receivership, but it could not be prevented. RECEIVER IS DECIDED ON Presidont 8tickney Meets Noteholders in London. London, Jan. .—The expected meet- ing of the noteholders of the Chicago Great Western Railway company with A B. Stickney, president of the com- pany, was held here. It was decided to appoint a receiver for the company, te maintain the status quo during the time necessary to prepare a first mort- 8889 bond covering all the indebted- ness of the road-and to obtain a vote of the stockholders on this measure. There were many noteholders at the' meeting. Bubsequent to the meeting the fol- lowing notification was issued by the London agency of the company: “At a meeting of some of the hold- ers of the Chicago Great Western rallway motes, which mature shortly, the president of the company an- status quo it had been decided by the Mondon finance committee that appli- ‘| eation should be made to a United ‘The marriage of Pete -Moe and Maria Holden was solemnized last Saturday morning at the home of the groom by Pete Krogseng, after States court for the creation of a temporary recelvership. until such time as the company shall 'have ob- tairied 'authorization ‘from fts stock- holders for the issue of first mortgage bonds to an amount sufficient to finance its requirements.” Mr. Btickney, addréssing the note- holders, explained the circumstances of the ralljoad. He dwelt upon thé financial conditions {in America, which interfere with the payment of the & per cent notes that mature during this present year. The decision of the finance commit- tee met with -the approval of the note- helders. Only one interested firm, Ktyur, & Co., which has made large sales of the netes maturing in March, opposed-the receivership and proposed a different plan. PATCH UP DIFFERENCES.

DENIES HE MARRIED HER Chicago Millionaire Sued by Woman Claiming to Be His Wife. Chicago, Jan. .—J. H. Lesher, who is a millionaire woolen manufacturer and resident member of the Chicago Athlotic club, has been made defend- {ant in a separate imaintenance suit which in some respects is a parallel to the celebrated Vanderbilt-May Pep- per case in New York. The Lesher suit brings out the fact that Mr. Lesher claime as his wife May Bangs, one of the Hangs sisters whose “spirit portraits” Dr. I. K. Funk investigated unuvailingly. The phlntm whom Mr, Lesher acknowledges as having been sent to' Europe by him and having been given by him an interest in one of his enterprises, but whom he de- ‘clares he never married, is known as Mrs. Belle Scramlin. It is alleged by Mrs. Scramlin that May Bangs and Mr. 'Lesher committed bigamy in marrying ‘and that Lesher was in- veigled.into thé marriage through the ingtrumentality of a “spirit portrait” of his dead niother.

But the duty of the kidneysis to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don’t dally with «euric acid solvents.” You might g5 go on till doomday with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan’s Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys andthen all danger from uric acid is ended, Here is Bemidji testimony to prove it. Mrs. Mary A. Cochrane, living at 1014 Mississippi Ave., Bemijdi, Minn , says: I had been suffer- | & ing from rheumatifm for over ten year’s and was- troubled with com- plaint for so long that I never ex- pected to get relief. My kidneys were badly disordered for two or three years and dispite the many remedies 1 tried, I did not get any better. At last Doan’s Kid-|gn ney Pills were brought to my at. tention and procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I" have been using them for sometime and|ge there is a . great improvement in my condition. Doan’s Kidney Pills helped me more -than auy remedy previously tried and I am feeling. much better.” For sale by all dealers, Price|o: 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.
