Latest U. s. Govt Report

A man arose in a Philadelphia prayer meeting the other night, according to the Record, and said that after his first wife's death he proposed marriage to a worldly woman. Afterward he thought he had erred in not seeking Christian woman, and when on his way to the marriage cer- emony he lifted his eyes to Heaven and said: God, if you don't want me to marry this woman, strike her with light ming before we reach the church." The lightning didn't appear and the ceremony took place.
 IT DID THE BUsINEss.-Mr J. H. Cobb, publisher of the Mirror at Brocton, N. Y. says: "For nearly two years the Mirror has been publishing the advertisements of Chamberlain's Remedies.

ABSOLUTEEY PURE

The gypsy moth, which is likely to cost Massachusetts million dollars before it can be freed from it's costly ravages, was brought into the state in @ very strange way. Prof. Trouvelot, a French natural ist, astronomer and artist, then at liar yard University, brought few to this country to cross with the silkworm to get a hardier breed of the latter, which would thrive in our climate. He had his speci mems in netting, which got tom in a storm and the moths got ont of reach and have multiplied so fast as to cover 200 square miles at present. The legislature has appropriated $15O,0OO to extirpate the moth. Prof. Trouvelot is now living in Paris, but although asked often to ex- plain how the moths escaped, never would notice the letters. He no doubt is not proud of his costly foolishness.

400 Miles Of Roadbed VIII be Finished
Before the ''Freeze-Up."
s President Hines came in from Thief
River Falls to Drayton on Monday.
Hell had been on a trip to the Red Lake
country in the interests of the road.
He informs us that the company have
decided to commence from Deer River
and build west and that the ties have
been pulled out of the water and piled
upon the bank near Red Lake to be used
at that end of the road. The people
are greatly interested in the road over
.ingthat section. The people at Thief
River Falls will bond their town for
s$8, 900 to aid IN the construction of the
road between that place and Warren.
Grading will commence all along the
line between the Red river and Thief
River Falls next week.
All the grading is finished between
Drayton and st. Thomas, except about
one mile and half. Garnett Bros,
commenced grading on their contract
between st. Thomas and Canton this
week. The kick in Lodema township,
Pembina county, has been declared off
and everything is moving along lovely.
twill not lbe surprising if two hun
dred miles of the road bed are COM

VICTOR BICYCLES!

Boys, ride nothing but Victor
wheel, best up to date wheel out.
Some wheels are thrown together, but
Victor bicycles are not built that way.
Many others are though. Scientific
construction, the best materials only
and rigid testing of every part are key
notes of success to the Victor. Others
guess-we know. The greatest argu-
ment in favor of high-grade wheels is
that no rider ever buys cheap wheel
the second time. I can sell you a cheap
wheel if you wish-but not Victor
make. Have wheels as low as $4,000
If you are contemplating getting a
wheel don't fail to call and see me.
Will be glad to give you all the infor-
nation I can in regard to wheels.
