THE LIBERTY BELL.

The commissioners of the State
of Pennsylvania have followed the
traditional practice of that state in
the erection of a building at the
Worlds Fair. As is we'll known,
the original Declaration of Indepen-
dence was made by the Continental
congress in the city of Philadelphia,
that congress met in the State house
on Chestnut street. The 'declara-
ton was first adopted by Congress
and then publicly read from the
steps of the State house, and the
old Liberty bell pealed out its notes
and "proclaimed liberty to all the
land and the inhabitants thereof
this state house has therefore since
then been historic. 1t was substan-
TALLY built and in all its parts it
showed the Quaker simplicity and
preserves it to this day. The COM
missioners have erected bailding
thoroughly in keeping with this
Quaker simplicity and neatness and
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-08-24

have surmounted it with a steeple
copied exactly after the steeple of
the stale house as it now is and has
been since 1916. Ithas a clock in
it and the four faces and hands of
the clock are exactly similar to the
original. The old bell is in the
wide entrance on the first floor and
is daily surrounded by crowds of
people who love to sec this historic
memorial, Everyone who came
from Pennsylvania, and especially
those who have lived in Phila-
dclphia, or visited there, recognize
this steeple as an old acquaintance
and love to call the attention of their
friends to the likeness and the state
Is to be congratulated on the good
sense and taste of the commissioners
that led to its erection.

A PEN PICTURE.
An Exact Description of n Typical of
Chronic Malaria.

A yellow skin, a sallow complexion,
dark circles about the eyes, a furred
lounge with bad breath, a bitter taste
and bad dijestion, are sure signs of
malaria. Not exactly sick, but wretch
ed; not quite delirious, but got the
blues badly, not confined to the bed,
but not fit for business; losing flesh,
losing business, losing all interest in
everything; dizzy after STOPPING, short
Of breath on slight eNertion, weak and
trembling, easily fatigued, restless,
nervous, sleepless. Nothing but
malaria can SO completely undo a per-
son without putting him to bed, moth
ing else can so irresistably demoralize
mind and body.
There is only one cure. Everybody
who has had experience with malaria
knows what the cure is. Pe-ru-na
exactly hits the case. 1t not only
cleanses the blood of all malarial
poison, but it promptly mitigates the
bad symptoms and leaves the brain
clear and nerves steady. 1t cures
without delay, without exception, and
without any i'll effect whatever.

other summer diseases, entitled

Company, Columbus, Ohio.

A CALIFORNIA RAILROAD.

Run by Three Men and With Grades Of
Six Feet to the 100.
A curious little railroad train goes
crawling up and down the mountain
from Tres Pinos to Burt's limekiln in
the Gavilan range, San Benito county,
California, every day. 1t is probably
the strangest railroad that was ever
seen. The train moves on a curious
single track and is drawn by an engine
set low on it. Both the engine wheels
and those that support the cars have a
single, pivot-like piece of steel that
sets in the slot track, for it must be
borne in mind that the track has slot
in it not unlike that seen on a cable
track. In addition to this each wheel
has flange on each side of it so that
it cannot get off the track, no matter
how abrupt the curves. The road as
completed is now nine miles long, but
when pushed through as intended it
will be fourteen miles in length. Three
men run it. These consist of an engi-
neer, fireman and brakeman. In one
place there is an s0o-foot grade mount
ed at the rate of six feet to the 100, yet
the engine puffs right along with three
loaded cars, not in the least bothered
in any way. There is one grade a
quarter of mile long, in which an
average of four feet is gained to the
100. One curious thing about it is that
the wheels are in sense rollers. They
reach from one side to the other The
fanges hold them on, assisted by the
pivot, past which each side of the
wheel comes down.

and notably so, Manager Dickey, are
entitled to the highest concentrations
from the people of their state. This
will be more plainly evident when the
awards are made, for if we mistake
not North Dakota is going to carry off
her share of the diplomas.
The states of Washington, California,
Illinois and Kansas have unquestion-
ably the best collective exhibits III their
state buildings but none of them will
reach North Dakota in the Agriculture
hall, and that is the place where eX-
hibits count as no awards will be given
for exhibits in state buildings.
1t would require all the available
space you could afford each week for
several years in order to give your read
ers an adequate description of this
Worlds Columbian Exposition and an
ADLER pen than mine to do it justice, so
l will not attempt it. But there is one
thing of which am heartily glad and
that is the continuous encouraging re-
ports Of Cavalier County's good crops,
for with the reaction that is bound to
come and the price of our staple pro-
duct ascends skyward it will enable
so many of our progressive farmers to
take vacation of two or three weeks,
which they cannot spend to better
advantage than at this Exhibition to
study for themselves the wonderful
progression that has been made in the
sciences and arts during the last half
of the nineteenth century. It is the
opportunity of Il lifetime and we'll
worthy of self denial to accomplish so
desirable an end. F. w. M.

seal ring gets more out of the arbi-
tration of the use of firearms in
sealing gives that ring a stronger
hold than ever upon the business.
The only people who still use the
spear in sealing are the native
Alaskans who are in the employ of
the seal ring, so you can imagine
what the prohibition of firearms
means to the ring.
Representative Grosvenor, of
Ohio, appears to be in bad way.
He claimed in a speech made in the
House this week that President
Cleveland's message to Congress
was an appeal to partianship.
Many things have been said about
the message, but so far Grosvenor
is the only man who has been able
to see partisanship in it. During
the Harrison administration Gros-
veuor had to be sent to Europe on a
government mission to keep him
out of mischief, and it is a great
pity that he cannot now be sent
some where to remain until the
financial question is disposed of.
Senator Hill this week introduced
a bill for the repeal of the Federal
election laws. 1t is short and to the
point, and will in due timebe passed.
Speaker Crisp says and there is
certainly no better authority, that
all the talk about this or that man
for the craftsmanship Of this or that
important House committees is
pure guesswork. He has not made
up his own mind, consequently it
would be an impossibility for any
body to say what he intends doing.
AS soon as he gets the members
satisfactorily assigned the committee
will be announced.
It has been stated here this week
that President Cleveland was un-
opposed to any compromise and
desired Congress to either uucon-
ditionally repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law or to let
italone. Your correspondent vainly
endeavored to find a democratic
Senator or Representative who had
personal knowledge that such are
Mr.. Cleveland's sentiments. That
he would prefer unconditional re-
peal is certainly; but that he would
vote conditional repeal I do not
believe.

WORLDS FAIR LETTER.
Editor CoURIER-D R-DEMoCRAT:-

Editor COURIER DEMOCRAT
Theipeople of North Dakota have rea-
son to congratulate themselves on the
most excellent use that has been made
by the commissioners Of the Worlds
Fair, of their opportunity for making
the State and her resources known to
the world.
The State building is in every way a
great credit to the State, and elicits
the highest praise from those who
have seen it-both from home and
abroad. The decorations on the first
foor-on the walls, the windows, the
ceiling and beams, are the best possible
taste and are made from the grains
and grasses of the State. Strangers
can with one comprehensive survey
take in the rich and varied resources
of our young commonwealth. Not
being possessed of any artistic temper
ment it is impossible for US to describe
in short article the great beauty, nor
exquisite taste in design and execution
of the decorations.
The attendance of visitors to this
building has been large, averaging
about 1000 persons daily, but tits quite
a common thing to hear groups of visi-
tors as they take leave of those in atten-
dance say, ''you have the most beauti-
full building of any we have seen."
It is a surprise to US to see what can be
done with grains and grasses by good
taste and artistic skill. "We were
in twenty-five state buildings today
said one who spoke for party of six,
land yours is decidedly the finest in
decorative exhibits of any we have
seen," Comments of this kind are
heard on every hand. The same can
be said of the collective exhibit in the
Agricultural building where in strong
contrast and in close proximinity to
older western states the North Dakota
exhibit stands the most unique and
complete. AS evidence of the number
of people who visit this exhibit it may
be stated that a careful, count made
from 2 to 2:3O on one day showed 339
from 1:40 to 2:10 on another day
showed 1927; so it may be seen that the
daily visitors range from 500 to 1000.
North Dakota is being made known
as it never was before and advertised
most fayorably. The commissioners,

sENAI'Hls ROACH FOR REPEAL.


The following letter received u
few days ago by personal friend
Of Senator Roach, at Larimore,
gives his position on the Sherman
act. We print it so that his con-
stituents in this county may have an
opportunity of knowing for them
selves where our statesman stands
on this important issue:
DEAR SIR: have persiste ntly re-
fused to be interviewed on these
subjects, not considering that my
opinions were of much value, and
feeling that, as I have much to learn
upon all these subjects, whatever
opinions l now have were liable to
change, to some extent at least.
But for old "Lang Syne" will
answer your enquiries briefly, for
you to put in such shape as you
choose if indeed you think it worth
while to print. Yes, as now look
at it, I favor the repeal Of the Sher,
man act, and will vote for it's repeal.
The principal supporter of the act
at the time 1t was passed now ack-
nowledgc it was comprise of
doubt expediency at the time, and a
bad law since. I don'tsee how even
the most radical silver men, SO called
can object, because it make Of silver
a commodity instead Of maintaining
it as a currency or money. l want
silver money.
As to my opinion Of the original
cause Of the present existing none
tary disturbances. l think now and
have thought for some years back,
that the denomination of silver was
a mistake, 1t was a disturbance Of
the financial condition and change
of policy that was bound, in my
opinion, to work mischief in time.
The SO called Sherman act was
factor in this disturbance, as we'll as
other legislation calculated to inter-
fere with natural laws and condi-
tions, or their operations between
states and nations. In times like
these through which we are now
passing banks suffer and it is no
wonder so many suspended. No
bank is supposed to be able to pay
all its depositors in ready cash upon
demand at any one time, except
realizing promptly on its securities
hence when it's demand by the de-
positors comes on the bank by a
''ruu," and securities are not avail
able to raise money, the inevitable
result follows. So it is not an evil
dence of bad management or mis-
conduct that bank fails at such
times. Many sound we'll managed
and perfectly solvent banks are the
victims of unreasoning fear and rash
actions on the part Of its depositors.
So that no one can charge the sus-
pension of so many banks to mis-
managements or bad banking
methods of the bankers themselves,
Except in individual cases) but
rather that they are, generally speak
ing, the victim of condition of
affairs for the existence of which
they probably are not responsible,
and may have had nothing to do
with the causes that originally
brought apout this condition.
Truly Yours,
w. N. ROACH.
