In truth, the melancholy days have
come to many. In medical ethics it is
said, there is no poison without its anti
dote. and in like manner there is no pam
mental or physical, without It's relief.
The melancholy days are those wherein
the coming OF pain is feared, or pain
really experienced. The bainy and de.
lishtful air to the healthful, seems filled
with chill and moisture to the alling, the
sure prcvocatives Of rheumatic aches and
neuralgic throbs; indeed all aches and
pains are thus influenced. Bnt the oc-
casion should be full of hope, and the
concern Of the sufferer only as to the
surest and best relief. There IS no ques,
tion about this. The dispute is settled
by a large majority. st. Jacobs Oil is
not a relief only; it is a sure cure, prompt
and permanent. 1t is not a promise; it
is a true performance always.

a South Dakota gentleman who was
at the Gladstone last night delivered
himself Of tie following remarks:
1t MAY be only a coincidence, still it
is strange that SO many Of these alarm
ing reports of Iut}lan fights, maraudlngt
and tnefts should emanute from Denver,
Colorado, tie homo OF America S cattle
kings. Denver Is farther from the scene
Of the Messiah craze than Chicago and
why the active-minded correspondent in
the former city should have q better
means OF cOmmuni1a and knowledge
than people living on tha borders Of the
reservation is a mystery winch may be
solved when claims for the loss Of cattle
are presented to congress for settlement.
1t is doubtless q fact that the rumOr OF q
concerted plan to RAID the United States
treasury is well founded, at least it
would appear as such, when the names
OF some of the besieged are scrutinlzed.

The Fargo Republican thus explains
the new game Of "Iideledy -winks" which
is the popular craze in society just now:
"Ihe Inspiration for this game came
through the revival a few months ago oil
an ancient English game known as
"tide!edy ynlnks,' which has created al
most as great furor as the pig-ln-clover
or l3-1l-l5 puzzles did IN their day.
"Tideiedy-winks" is simplicity itself.
In fact it is SO very easy that one of the
greatest houses in the trade, 10 whom
the idea was first submitted a year ago
by Il clever employe, declined to handle
it b cause they dId not believe the pub
lie would take to such an absurdly sim
pie Ii, Z The parapherna1ia consists
OF two dozln or more different color q
bone chips, OF the size and shape Of an
ordinary copper cent; q half dozen larger
chips, like those used in poker; a cup
of bone, wood or glass, as large rs a
medium siz,d egg glass, and a woolen
mat. OF better still, a heavy table cover.
The little chi ps are divided among any
number Of players up to 6,and the scheme
Is to jump tuem into the cup or "wluh

The following address to the people

TO LOYAL NORTH DAKoTANs
The Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1898
will be one OF the marvels of history.
Thirty millions of people will visit it's
grounds. Fifteen million dollars are
already pledged to it's aid. North Dakota
can, il it but will, carry in the most
iorcible way to the mind of each visitor
the wonderful tale of its crtle fields, it's
magnificent climate, its productive mines,
its unsurpassed schools, it's progressive
people, and at tritlinG cost.
The lesson of OtLer states is instructive
as to our duty in this matter. Kansas
was bankrupt in 1876, but made . splen-
did exhibit at the Centennial and secured
5W,O0O people within the next decade.
We have a more fertile soil, preferable
cliuiate, a greater variety of resources
and have no business to neglect SO good
an opportunity DIS now presents itself to
advertise our unaparalleld recources
the Worlds Fair.
(2) 1t can only secure one through
Legislative appropriation at the present
session.
(3) 1t is the bounden duty Of every
loyal North Dakotnn to urge such enact
ment and appropriation through the
public press, through appeals and letters
to his home members Of the legislature at
onco and persstent!y. North Dakota
will get to the front il We only give the
state half a chance. The matchess soil,
the healthfnl climate the perfection of a
common school system, the vigorous
people are all the strongest Inducements
to immigration. Let us show the world
that we have them all and more.
