Why les it that this "tauiI.nddeu
land" continues to receive the mil
lions in increasing numbers from
Europe? The Immigration statistics
for ,hc past three months show the
largest arrivals eyerrecorded. One
hearing the Democratic groauugs
over "lbc robber tariff "the over
taxed" and "mortgaged farmers
would naturally expect TO see out
going ships loaded with downuod
den working men seeking free trade
lands TO grow up with the country.
The working man comes in the
Storage, and goes back only on a
visit, aud then in a state-room.

How / Missed 1t.

EDITOR PRESS:-When | was in
Chicago about eight years ago l had
a chance to enter INTO co-partnership
with a man whose name l will not
mention for certain easons. The
business he proposed was Il bakery.
OF course he was to furnish all the
money, us Inever had any of my own.
and as he wanted to leave the bust
ness with me and go on Il trip east to
visit friends ut his old home, you Can
see what Il chance | had to make a
few hundred dollars. l could have
run the business for a while and then
in the absence of my partner, could
have sold out the bakery for u few
hundred dollars and skipped for Bis
marck or Dickinson. as both these
towns were good places for business
at that time. If l had done this
might have been able to stock my
Indian Spring ranch and Ill a store
in Dickinson by this time, and if my
partner should follow me l could take
him into my Office and hush it up by
settling with him. ] believe the man
took in a smooth tongued fellow after
1 left who sold him out. Oh! dear
dear, how | have missed it.

NATURALIZATION PAPERS,.
OF Interest to Those Also Who Got

OF Interest to Those Also Who Got
Their FIRST Papers Six Years Ago.
"Who can vote at the next elcc-
tion!" This is II question that the
new constitution makes of consider
able interest to the people of North
Dakota,especially the adopted citi.
zens.
Section ., of article V. of the con-
stitution says that the following
shall be qualified electors:
"Persons Of foreign birth who shall
have declared their intention to be
come citizens one year and not more
than six years prior to such election.
conformably to the naturalization
laws of the United States"
y good many of the residents who
have come into the new state from
Canada or Scandinavia, took out their
first naturalization papers more than
six years ago. but have neglected to
take out their second papers. and so
become full tledged citizens. The
re suit is that after voting six years
on their first papers, they will this
year find themselves DISTINGUISHED
unless they take out their second pa
pers. They must take out their sec
ond papers or they cannot vote either
at the municipal election i'll April or
the state election in next November.
Approaching the situation III extra
term of the district court will be held
at Grand Forks some time during
this month or next for the purpose of
allowing these delinquent residents
to perfect their title to citizenship.
Both the city and the state contests
promise to be of great interest, and
every one should see that his path to
the ballot box, accorded in the new
| constitution. is clear.-Bismarck Tri-

Russian Influenza.

Almost every II is now interested
in knowing the proper treatment for
this disease. According to the best
authorities it requires precisely the
same treatment as Il severe cold, and
it is generally known that there is
nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken
as directed. Extreme are should be
taken to keep the feet dry and warm,
the body we'll clothed and to avoid
exposure, especially when recovering
from the disease, and to keep up the
vitality. Persons physically weak
should take tonics to keep up their
