1t takes eighty men and women
to make postage stamp. First the
white paper is cut into sheets large
enough for a hundred stamps. The
stamps on each sheet are counted
twenty-six times to make sure the
number is correct. The printer
counts and passes the sheet to the
GUNNER; the GUNNER gums the
back, and having counted, gives it
to the perforator, who divides the
stamps by rows of little holes, not
forgetting to count. 1t is surpris-
ing how quickly and accurately the

A New Certain Cure for Piles.

We do not intend TO indorsc any except
articles Of genuine merit; we therefore
take pleasure in recommending to suffer
ers from Piles in any form, prompt and
permanent cure. The following letters
speak for themselves:
Mrs. Mary G. Tyler Of Heppner, Ore,
writes: One pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely cured me of piles from which 1
have suffered for years, and have never
had the slightest return of them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb.,
says: The pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely removed every trace of itching
The Pyramid Pile Cure is a new, cer-
tain, painless cure for every form of piles.
1t is safe, sure and cheap. Any druggist
will get it for you if you ask him.

Farmer and Statesman.

In a cordial endorsement of Senator
Casey for reelection the Wells County
Gazette says:
No member has made for himself a
better record IN the senate; none that
entered the senate the same time he did,
but have good reason to look upon the
national influence he Yields, with jeal-
Ousy.
HIS official acts every one of them, are
proofs conclusive, that he never for a
moment forgot that he was from North
Dakota. He is a farmer and statesman
combined. which especially qualities hlm
to properly advance the h, st interests of
all. The Gazette is published in sec
ton OF country that has been partic
ularly blessed by his agricultural
pursuits, thousands of acres have been
converted from it's wild state into con-
dition to produce. We look upon him as
a man OF the people, master mind.
We think we voice the sentiment of the
masses when we say that he has done
we'll, and merits return We are con-
6rmed in this belief, by the fact that he
is meeting with opposition from those
only who aspire for his position. And
again we are convinced by a careful
reading OF the state press, that no candi-
date now before the people, would so
efectually harnonize all factions as be,
and it looks to US that this was the end
to he most desired at this time.
Therefore, we trust our legislature will
show proper respect to a worthy states
man and return Hon. Lyman r. Casey.

sell 10 the fall. Under the option system
of dealing in grain they could sell no
matter how low and protect thems. Ives
by purchasing May wheat and get the
beuefit of holding, besides having the
money 10 use. He said it was deluson
to suppose the anti.option measure
wonld ,e a benefit to the farmers.
Mr.. Kelley said the elevator and
mlIler's combine we're urging the passage
of this bill. He knew they were engaged
in manipulating prices and presumed
they would continue to do so more or
less. 1t is rule OF the elevators to make
their own prices. They have no con-
science. A farmer goes fifty miles to the
elevator or one mile and when he goes
home he wonders at the small amount he
gets for bis summers work. They take
his load and give him what they please
for it. Suppose what be has left at
home is burned while he is gone and he
wants to bny 1t back again they will
charge him 10 cents bushel more than
tLev paid him for II. Is that ruling
prices? Is that an open market? lam
not in favor Of the London capitalists;
am IN favor OF the farmer.

Miss Putnam, Makes Some Pertinent
Points in Regard to Worlds Fair
Matters.
Editor Alert:--The Stutsman county
branch of the Woman's Auxiliary to the
Worlds fair commission OF North Da
kota, concludes from various remarks
made that the object in raising money
for furnishing portion of the North
Dakota building is not fully understood
by the people Of jamestown and vicinity.
The room to be furnished is, next to
the one devoted to the state exhibit, the
most important part OF the building,
namely the reception hall. Fret i'm
presslons go long ways towards The
estimate in which a country or state is
held by the general public at ouch a
time. OF course, this being new state,
We can not expect to do such fine things
as many OF the older ones; but because
North Dakota is a new state. and because
it's business men have done and are doing
all they can to attract the interests Of
the business world in it's possibilities,
are the best of reasons why the North
Dakota state building should be made
as attractive as possible. Money spent
for that purpose is not money thrown
into the great vortex OF Chicago, but is
for The future glory and benefit OF this
state.
The people in Foster county, through
the energies Of the little town of Caring
ton, raised for the flag for our state
building Sl25 in two entertainments.
Might not that interest be enlulated a
little by the people of jamestown as rep
resenting Stutsman county?
The ladies who aIe working are fully
aware of the many conflicting interests
Of the town, but those interests are after
all in special individual societies while
this World. fair work includes the IN
terests of everybody and ultimately the
prospects for growth OF the individual
societies. Hence We ask that those to
whom appeals may be made for this
cause during the next two or three
mouths, will not turn q deaf ear nor
close their eyes 20 what is for the good of
all. The exposition opens in May so that
the time Is short for execution of plans
The ladies Of jamestown will furnish
i, he reception hall according to the
means put into their hands for that pur-
pose. 1t depends upon the general
public whether that furnishing shall be
worthy the efforts made or whether
visitors from our own state and else
where shall be ashamed of it's meagre-
ss-especia]ly in comparison with the
rooms under the charge of Grand Forks
and Fargo.

HORRIBLE CRIMES.
Women Who Made Business of
Numbering Children.

VIENNA, Sept. IA sensation has
been caused III this city by the arrest of
TWO women, living in separate villages
in the district Of Kuttenburg. Bohemia,
which recalls the terrible tragedies
enacted last year, and in a similarly
horrible style. The two women 1t
seems, were engaged Systematically in
the business of numbering children
whose parents desired 10 have them got
out OF the way, either because OF de
formllies, or because the parents were
too poor or too heartleSs to take care of
their children, or because the children
were illegItinate ana Il source of re-
preach TO their parents. These heart
less women, it is added, not only did
Il thriving trade in numbering hapleSS
babes, but also contracted To dispose of
their bodies most etfeetualIy, and guar
anteed secrecy aud an effectual diSap-
pearaHee for stated sums Of money.
The price usually charged for the
murder OF a child was five forms. The
two women seem to have done large
trade, and are reported to have saved
up considerable sums of money as the
fruit of their inhuman work. The dis
coyery of this wholesale system of
baby numbering vas brought about by
an accident, or the women might have
continued for years to come. So safe
did they feel themselves from detection
that one of them kept regular ledgefS,
i'll which were Inscribed the sums re-
ceiVed, the person the baby was re-
ceiyed from, the age and description of
the child, and the date it was disposed
OF. by the help OF this horrible record
of crime the authorities anticipate not
only cOnyctng and effeclually dispos-
lug of these Two female fiendS, but thev
also anticipate being able to make a
large number of arrests and bring nual-
bers CT others to the bar of justice.

parochial school attached to his church,
says in part:
My only offense seems to be my eff
forts to advance the best interests of
Catholic schools by bringing them into
full harmony with the policy of the

oSitions. | have so far succeeded. and 1t
Is the certain prospect of my complete
success that has caused the old batteries
OF the CahenSIyiteS and their allies to
lire q lot of old chestnut shells at me.
There is no question now of law of
the church, and no prelate will now
venture even with CLOAK around him
to assert that a child must be allowed to
20 to hell if he fails to attend a one
horse parochiai.
THE Odium with which some persons
are so shanieleSsly endeavorihg to over
whelm me must fall on themselves.
For 1t is my extraordinary success
as pastor and Il tinancier and
builder and supporter of Catholic
schools that has excited the jealousy.

desperate must he done, and done. too,
