THE NORTHWESTERN LINE,


Take this line from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago, Duluth,
Washburn, Ashland and all points
on Lake Superior, and to Sioux
City, Omaha, Kansas City and all
intermediate points.
The Northwestern Line will
take you to the wheathelds of
Dakota and Minneapolis and the
corn fields of Iowa and Nebraska,
to the Black Hills and the wonder
full oil and coal bearing districts of
Wyoming, or it will take you to
the pine woods of Wisconsin and
Michigan, and to the Gogebic Iron
Ranges.
No line is so well equipped for
its passenger business, or gives
more attention to the comfort and
convenience of passengers than
"The Northwestern Line" nor
does any other line make as good
connections East, North, and
Southwest. With tourists, land
seekers, or emigrants, in fact with
all the travelling public "The
Northwestern Line" stands first.
At Mcmillan Junction the G. B.
w. & St. Paul Railroad makes
good connection with the North
western Line for St. Paul and
Chicago.

Give the Baby Water

Many a baby is drugged with
Paregoric and soothing syrups
when all that it needs or wants is
drop Of water. It is always a
safe thing to try child with a
teaspoonful Of water when it is
restless Or evinces a desire 20 nurse
frequently. \ child who cannot
ask for it, often suffers tormcnts
for drop Of water. Especially
in hot weather is this true. I have
heard many mother say that she
had never thought of giving her
baby a drink and yet, from the
very nature of baby's food, it is
more apt TO require water than we
are. Milk induces thirst, as any
one who has tried a milk diet
knows.

man now says that the members
of the Commission have never
mentioned to the President any
thing about the proposed extension
of the Civil Service rules to the
chiefs of divisions in the depart
ments, but that the commission is
unanimously in favor Of it. Nobody
doubts that at all. The commits
sion is in favor of anything that
will increase its power, but a great
many other people think it should
be curtailed instead of increased.
The nomination of General
Malone by the Virginia republi-
cans has created much interest
here. 1t ensures Virginia red
hot aggressive campaign and it is
generally believed by republicans
that the brainy little man will win,
and the most sanguine democrats
admit that the result is doubtful.
When the fact is remembered that
these same democrats are in a
habit of claiming everything this
admission is not without meaning.
There is likely to be some delay
in the building of the five war YES
sells provided for at the last
session of congress owing to the
fact that the bids received were
largely in excess of the amount
appropriated to pay for them. The
Navy department has issued new
proposals in which some modih-
cations are made which it is hoped
will enable the ship builders to get
inside of the appropriations with
their bids. Boat naval officers say
that the appropriations are too
small to contain vessels of the
class wanted.
Similarity of names brings
about some queer thing. For
instance, a short time ago Andrew
]. Whitaker, of Illinois, who was
formerly a clerk in the Fourth
auditors office, Was appointed
deputy fourth auditor. Saturday
the Fourth Auditor received a
letter from Andrew J. Whitaker,
of Carpentersville, Illinois, stating
that he had seen a notice in a
Chicago paper Of his appointment
as Deputy Fourth Auditor, and
that he accepted the appointment.
AS possession is nine points of
the law the first named gentleman
will probably retain the office
while his Illinois namesake will be
allowed to keep the disappoint-
ment.

ANOTHER USE FOR SALT.

For moths salt is the best ex-
terminator. The nuns IN one of
the hospital converts have tried
everything else without success,
and their experience is valuable,
as they have SO much clothing of
the sick who go there; and
strangers, when dying there, often
leave quantities of clothing, etc.
They had room full of feathers,
which were sent there for pillow
making, and they were in despair,
as they could not exterminate the
moths until they were advised to
try common salt. They sprinkled
it around, and in week or ten
days they were altogether rid of
the moths. They are never
troubled now. In heavy velvet
carpets sweeping them with salt
cleans and keeps them from moths,
as particles of salt remain in the
carpets and corners. Salt is not
hurtful to any one and has no bad
smell. Here is a little hint | add.
which, perhaps, everyone does not
know. For cleaning wash basins,
bath, ETC., use the same thing,
common dry salt. Rub little of
the salt with your fingers on the
basin. Often sort of scum is no.
ticed in the basins in marble
washstand in the bathroom; the
salt takes it off easily and leaves
the basin shining and clear

A BoARDING-HoUsE INCIDENT.

There was chicken for dinner at
a Harlem boarding house, and in
stead of being satisfied to take any
of it that was offered there was a
general request all around the
board for "white meat" Several
boarders sent back their plates to
have their piece of dark meat ex-
changed for white. The landlady
herself was master of ceremonies
in the kitchen that day. She stood
this racket as long as possible, and
then burst into the dining room
like cyclone fresh and furious
from the west. Glaring at the
boarders, she exclaimed:
''See here, you loafers, what dc
you mean by all sending out fol-
white meat? Do you imagine a
chicken is made of white meatl
Couldn't eat nice piece of the
dark meat, l suppose? Oh, no; you
have been eating nothing but white
meat all your lives, and that's the
reason you are all white-liyered, |
reckon
She seemed to swell up as her
awful Indignation grew upon her.
and, moving closer to the table,
she swayed above'it like giant
oak in a storm. This time she
fairly screamed:
"Confound your impudent car
casses. I'll have you know that
| am not so particular about color
Take the color of your money, fol

it and I'd take it most mighty

send that chicken back here, and
any of you dudes that don't like
the dark meat can take it out to q
kalsominer and get it white.
washed"
"Gentlemen,r' said one of the
boarders, when the lady had re
tired to the kitchen, 1--WE have
trodden on the tail of tempest
For one, l prefer dark meat on my
plate to having it distributed
around under my eyes"
And the rest Of the boarders did
too.-World.

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE

IHE CHAM EER Of lOhI OhE
Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from infamitory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that fine preventive, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf-
fering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and
sedatives, while having none but a specific
are yet very desirable at times. Yet they
can produce no lasting effect upon rhenma-
tism, because they have no power to elimin-
ate from the blood the rheumatic virus.
Hnstetter's Stomach Bittets does this, and
checks at the outset disease which, If al
lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos-
sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a
disease with fatal tendency from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys-
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner.
vousness are relieved by it. mi.
