South Bend, Ind., Oct. 24 (Special). After suffering from Kidney Disease for three years; after taking treat. ment from six different doctors with- out getting reilef, Mr. J. O. Laudeman of this place found not only relief but a speedy and complete cure in Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure Mr. Laudeman says: “Yes, I suffered from Kidney ‘Trouble for three years and tried six doctors to no good. Then I took just two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd’s Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good re- sults.” Mr. Laudeman’s case is not an ex- ception. Thousands give similar ex- periences. For there never yet was a case of Kidney Trouble from Backache to Bright’s Disease that Dodd’s Kid. ney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever cured Bright’s Disease.

President Roosevelt Allows Cortelyou and Aldrich to Bleed the Corpora- tions—Affair Has Assumed the Pro- portions of a National Disgrace. The charge that Chairman Cortel- you of the Republican National Com- mittee, and Senator Aldrich are col- lecting enormous sums for the Repub- lican campaign fund has not been denied; although the charge is openly made’ by the most influential news- papers. The New York Times says: “The men of the trusts think and believe that they are buying, not the Presidency, but the President. Sena- tor Aldrich encourages that _ belief. Prekident Roosevelt permits it to be formed and entertained. Very differ- ent, immeasurably more scandalous, is the case of George B. Cortelyou who was Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor in Mr. Roose- yelt’s cabinet and was by him, against the protests of the party chiefs, made chairman of the Republigan National committee, Within the Department Corporations, which is authorized and empowered to inquire into the affairs of eccrporations doing an ‘irter-state business and pry out their secrets * * * the assumption of these functions by Mr. Cortelyou is a public scandal, a national disgrace. The disgrace is in the truest sense nation‘ al, since it involves the head of the nation, whose creature, agent and pez- sonal representative is the offender in question.” The corporation magnates thin]. now they are buying- President Roose velt with the great sums they fling into his campaign chest. One of the chief corporation men of Wall Street who is now gathering in money for Mr. Roosevelt was his bitter foe ten months ago. What has wrought the change? Have the trust magnates been prom ised immunity from prosecution and publicity if they pay enough cash into the Republican campaign. The evidence strongly indicates that the trusts are to be immune from further prosecution. There has been no pub- licity, although the new law provides for it and the Department of Com. merce has been investigating the in- side workings of the trusts since Feb. 26, 1903. President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress December, 1902, said: “Congress has not heretofore made any appropriation for the better en- forcement of the anti-trust law as it stands. Very much has been done by the Department of Justice in securing the enforcement of this law; but much more could be done if Congress would make a special appropriation to be expended under the direction of the attorney-general.” Congress promptly voted $500,000, for the purpose asked and yet less than $30,000 has been expended, al- though nearly three years have elapsed. All that has been accom- plished against the trusts has been an ineffectual injunction against the beef trust and the railroad merger. Then Attorney-General Knox was se- lected by the coal and other Pennsyl- vania trusts as United States senator, and no action has since been taken against the trusts and combines. The beef trust case and the rebate cases have not even been advanced in court as the new law permits, and not one word of publicity as to the affairs of any other trusts or corporations. The criminal clause of the anti-trust law has not been invoked to punish the bad trusts, although Oliver Wen- dell Holmes, a Repunblican justice of the United States Supreme 6éourt, in his opinion in the merger case, said: “The statute of which we have to find the meaning is a criminal statute. The two sections on* which the gov- ernment relies both make certain acts crimes. That is their immediate pur- po: and that is what they say. It is vain to insist that this is not a criminal proceeding.” Yet the officers of the Department of Justice have failed to bring the acts of the bad trusts to the attention of the federal grand juries, and a word from President Roosevelt would feree the criminal prosecutions that Justice Holmes says was the inten- tion of the statute. Who can wonder that voters are looking askance and the newspapers are demanding explanations about the collection of vast sums from the crim- inal trusts and their escaping prose- cution or even publicity of their mis- doings. Meanwhile, high trust prices are eating up the substance of tke people. Show Need for Increased Wages. It must be embarrassing to the ad- ministration at Washington, while the most of its cabinet members are mak- ing stump speeches on prosperity and are declaring that wages have gone up fully as much as has the cost of | living, to have the laborers in the | great government printery at the capi- | tal city hold a mass meeting to peti- | tion the president for higher wages because of the increased cost in liv- ing. At this meeting a general dis- cussion was had relative to the in- crease in the cost of living during the last two or three years, and the utter inability of the laborers to support a family on the present wage scale of $2 per day. Mr. J. B. McLaughlin fur- nished statistics to show that there ‘ had been an increase of about 40 per cent in the cost of agricultural prod- ucts and breadstuffs. These governmc employes were of Commerce there is a Bureau of} ‘modest in their demands. They only asked for an increase of 20 per cent, while the cost of living has increased 40 per cent, according to their figures, They showed great discretion by men- tioning only “agricultural products and breadstuffs” as having gone up 40 per cent in price. They know that the administration is not at all averse to statistics that show a great rise in the prices of farm products so they said nothing about the rise in tha prices of other things. As a matter of fact, the price of breadstuffs and meat were considerably higher two years ago than now, while clothing is about 15 per cent higher now than two years ago. It is true, however, that all things considered, the cost of living is now about 40 per cent great- er than it was seven years ago, betore we had the Dingley bill with its brood of comorant trusts. This is a Presidential election year. It is a good time to ask for presiden- tial favors. These laborers may haye their. wages increased by decree half enough to cover the increased cost of living. If so they will be far more fortunate than millions of their fel- low workers who are idle or are work- ing at greatly reduced wages, yet who will be expected to vote again for the party of protection and prosper- ity. 3B. Ge Government Receipts and Expendi- tures. The first two months of the present fiscal year, July and August, showed a deficiency in the government’s rev- enues of $23,000,000. The last fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, showed a deficiency of $41,000,000, a total of 364,000,000. September of the pres- ent year shows a surplus of $5,000,000. That month usually makes a good showing; in 1893, the surplus was $6,- 300,000, and in 1892, $11,000,000. Oc- tober generally shows a deficit, as the interest payments, which even See- retary Shaw cannot defer, like he has 1 good many other payments, will de- mand about $4,000,000, and last year this month showed a deficit of neariy $5,000,000. In consequence of the ex- travagant appropriations, the expendi- tures are all the time increasing, so there is no doubt that October will wipe out the September surplus and perhaps add to the deficit. In any event, the first four months of the fiscal year, or on Noy. 1, there will be 2 deficiency of receipts over expendi- tures of over $20,000,000, or at the rate of $80,000,060 for the whole year. Re- publican orators and organs are ex- hibiting great awkwardness in ex- plaining this lack of prosperity. The President and the Corporations. Another straw which shows which way the political wind blows at the White house is the recognition of the Spooner-Babcock faction of the Re- publican party of Wisconsin by the National committee ‘of that party. Those who have watched the politi- cai tactics of the Administration have all the time known that Gov. La Fol- lette was looked upon as .a disorgan- izer. His propositions for fair primar legislation and, above all, his attemp! to tax the railroads on their real val- uation has not endeared him to the Republican leaders. Is it, therefore, surprising that President Roosevelt, who through his chairman of the Na- tional Republican committee is collect- ing large sums from the corporations for the campaign chest, should favor the faction from which the funds are being so freely poured forth? And now comes an unfeeling Supreme court of Wisconsin deciding that the Spooner-Babcock faction are political frauds and have no right to a place on the Republican ticket. publican national committee was en- tirely dominated by the corporations, of course that trust ridden gathering did not agree with the Supreme court. Wages and Cost of Living. The increased cost of living since 1897 is a sure sign of prosperity, ac- cording to Secretary those who have to pay the bills it is 2 very serious proposition. Wages ad- venced somewhat from the lowest point in 1897, but since 1892 have again declined, although prices are still at nearly the highest point. Ly- man W. Redington of Vermont, speak- ing at a meeting of the Commercial Travelers’ league in New York, stated that the increased cost of provisions since 1897 equaled 43 per cent. If anyone has had his wages increased since 1897 43 per cent. he is lucky, but the official report of the Interstate Commerée Commission for 1893 shows that the greatest increase in wages of railroad employes. excluding gen- eral officers, from 1897 to 1903, was only 14 per cent. When the maxi- mum increase in wages is only one- third of the increased cost of living, it would be difficult to persuade any- one but a Republican politician that the Dingley high tariff law is as of rouch benefit to the people as it has undoubtedly proved to trusts and mo- nopolies. Who Will Warm the Iceberg? It is getting pretty tough on Re publican audiences that Senator Fair- banks is talking to. Until a few days ago he was accompanied by Senator Dolliver, who is an_ entertaining speaker, and therefore received too much of the applause to.suit the Vice Presidential candidate. A gradual coolness developed and Dolliver has now a separate list of appointments, as far away from Fairbanks as possi- ble. Who will melt Fairbanks’ ice in future, or will the Republican audi- ences have to sit and suffer, is not yet settled; but an early cold spell has set in, in the West, fanned by Fairbanks, which will require the at- tention of the Republican National committee or the voters of that par- ty will take to the woods until after ciceticn, As the Re- Shaw, but to) State News of the Week Briefly Told. ‘West Duluth is to have a curling rink to cost $1,000. Herman Reddemann, while hunting near Le Sueur, had one eye shot out. Otto Green, colored, fell under the cars at Le Sueur and his arm was cut off. Burglars blew open the safe in Krusemark’s meat market at Slayton and secured $50 in cash. Michael Grimm died at his home in Osceola township, near Bird Island. He was formerly in business in Glen- coe. Rev. George West of the Presbyte- rian church at Hibbing has resigned to accept a pastorate at Lake Nebaga- mon, Wis. Foster Woodberry, 13 years old, was accidentally shot by a companion while hunting near Sauk Center. He will recover. Capt. John Bawdon, one of the oldest settlers of southern St. Louis county, is dead at his home in Ely from asthma. The St. Anthony & Dakota Lumber company has sold out its entire stock and sheds at Fosston to the Northwest Lumber company. Mrs. Herder, qn elderly lady who lives near Frontenac, was shot in the shoulder by persons unknown, who were in the woods. The new Carnegie library at Red- wood Falls will be dedicated on Nov. 9 by President Cyrus Northrop of the University of Minnesota. The bodies of Fritz Buckentin, Jr., Paul Buckentin and Paul Tewksbury, who were drowned in Pomme de Terre lake, near Morris, have been recover- ed. The farmers elevator at Elko is re- ceiving and shipping grain. The com- pany is a member of the Minnesota ex- change and was organized last fall by the farmers. A seven-year-old son of John L, Sul- livan, a thresher, was killed at Belle Plaine. He opened a valve on a thresher engine, starting* the engine, which ran over him. Wages were recently advanced to $1.75 a day at the Cass mine at Biwa- bik. Everything is ready for the speedy erection of the shafthouse at Fayal No. 4 as soon ag the steel ar- rives. Janney, Semple, Hill & Co., Forman & Fish and Smith & Zimmer have filed a petition asking that Hager & Hager, a hardware firm at Dumont, Traverse county, be adjudged bank- rupt. Davidson, a druggist of Staples, was taken with paralysis of the bow- els and removed to Brainerd hospital. An operation was not successful and he died. He left a wife and two chil- dren. Stella Aho, a dressmaker’s appren- tice, confessed to the Duluth police that she recently stole about $400 from the trunk of Charles Hill, 339 Lake avenue. Hill keeps a boarding house and had his money in a trunk. The key was hidden ‘in a cup, and the girl took ‘the money, relocked the trunk and replaced the key. The Killorin-Phillian Contracting company is rushing work on its strip- j ping contract at the Monroe mine near Chisholm. It is stated on good author- jity that it will work all winter, as its contract with the steel company calls for the uncovering of the ore body by the spring of 1905. It is intended to put the Monroe mine on the shipping list next season. New Prague has its municipal light- jing plant in operation. For several years the-current for the municipal {lighting company was generated by the milling company, under contract. As the latter wished to discontinue the arrangement, the city built its own building and installed boilers and en- gine. The power will also be used for the waterworks system. The local management at the Fayal mine at Eveleth expects to have all of No. 2 stockpile removed to the docks at Two Harbors before the close of navigation. No. 2 stock pile is the last one remaining, and two steam shovels are at work on it. Drake & Stratton will have a shovel at work to level off stock pile room at the new No. 4 shaft soon. Unless winter should set in un- | usually early, shipping will continue until the latter part of November. The body of Fred Prescott was found in the creek opposite the Inter- national barn at Savage. He was a laborer employed at the International farm, and it is thought that in going home the evening previous he slipped and fell into the water. Several Fergus Falls business men ‘have formed an organization for the ' purpose of boring for gas in the vicin- ity of Foxhome and Pelican Rapids. | About three years ago gas was struck ‘in boring a well north of Pelican , Rapids and burned for several weeks A VOICE FROM THE PULPIT.

The Doctor and His Pass. A director of the London & North- western railway chided a ticket col- lector who went past him without looking at his pass. “No matter if you do know who I am,” said he in reply to the collector's excure; “I’m entitled to ride free only when I am traveling with the pass. You don’t know whether I have it or | not.” . The conductor, a little nettled, then demanded to see the pass. “That’s right!” exclaimed the di- rector; “here—why—where—well, I declare, I must have left it at the of- fice.” “Then you'll have to pay your fare,” said the collector, firmly.
