There has been no inducement TO open

TO be finer aud In some cases showing

FACTS PREJUDICE

Prejudice is hard TO combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years.
Forinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed SO
before them. So did their grandfathers.
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, Notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think so.
The only way we know to meet popular un-
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS. and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. 1t is fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof of it too. 1t
comes from those who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been COM
pletely cured by this remedy. All who have
,ried it have had this experience. Some of
them permit US to print their testimony. 1t
makes quite little book, which we send free
toany who are interested enough to ask forit.
A complete Russian Rheumatism Cure,
costs Sage If mailed, Ioc. additional. If
, registered, Ioc. more. You'll never need but
one, so the price isn't high. Who wouldn't
give 81. 50 to get rid Of Rheumatism
As vet it cannot be found at the stores but be
had only by enclosing the amount as above, and
addressing the American Propretors,

RIOTOUs oRANGEMEN.

The ''loyal' Ulster Orangemen once
more impressed the fact upon the
minds Of the peaceable portion of
the population OF Ireland that Clutch
Billy" crossed the Boyne by abusing and
assaulting everybody whose religious
persuasion was different from theirs at
Belfast on Monday. We do not men
ton this circumstance as a matter Of
news, for everybody knew IS we'll as they
were born that the riotous Ulster Or
angemen would carry out their stereo-
typed illegal proceedings on Monday,
providing the government failed to cage
them. But the time is coming when
these same brutal Orangemen will be.
compelled to behave themselves, and let
us hope that it is not far distant.

The new Burlington &Northern road
will soon be completed, a fact of no un-
common significance. There are thou
sands of people in This great Northwest
who have long looked upon the Chi
cago, Milwaukee s. ST Paul as a giant
monopoly, and there are just as many
who have hoped for an opposition road
that would one day give to the people a
schedule,p Of prices, both as to freight
and passenger traffic, that would prove
only just, honest and fair. The public
will expect this from the Burlington &
Northern, and we presume they will
not be disappointed. Wherever it may
come into direct competition with the
Milwaukee s. st. Paul road, the people
should not and will not be slow in Civ
ing their preference and their most act
i've and hearty support to the Burling
ton & Northern. s:.5
