WHILE newspaper may print
column after column eulogistic OF
its town, it's very bright sayings
will be received with grain OF
doubt if its advertising columns
do not bear impression of enter
prise. A newspaper to be Of real
benefit to city in the way OF
attracting investors must be the
joint production of the publisher
and the local business men.

The Land Hunters Paradise.

Frank Lough was at Langdon last
week and spent several days. He
seems quite pleased with the life and
stir to be seen in that place. Accord.
ing to his tale the land hunters are as
plentiful as bees, and all the good land
is being rapidly taken up; SO that to
get your choice you would have to &c
thirty miles from the railway, where
early this spring, land was being tax
en- up within few miles Of Langdon.

The Seventh Judicial district
was . necessity they told us last
winter. Judge Tsmpleton was
rushed to death and could not give
proper attention to court cases. He
formerly handled the business of
what il now the two districts. Now
he holds court only in Lakota and
Grand Forks. He spent two days
in Lakota At the spring term, and
will probably occupy the bench for
the same length of time next fall.
Yes, that extra district was a neoes-

AN ENGLLSH VIEW.

The English statistician, Michael
G.. Mulhall, publishes in the June
number of the North American Re
view, just issued, an article on
"The Power and Wealth of the
United States" Mr.. Mulhall's con-
clusion sis that eff we take a survey
of mankind in ancient or modern
times, as regards the physical, me-
chanical and intellectual force of
nations, we find nothing to COM
pare with the United States in this
present year of 1895, and that the
United States possesses by far the
greatest productive power in the
world"
He asserts that the absolute effec-
tive force Of the American people is
now more than three times what it
was in 1860, and that United States
possesses almost as much energy as
Great Britain, Germany and France
collectively, and that the ratio fall
ing to each American is more than
two Englishmen or Germans have
at their disposal. He points out by
careful comparison between con-
ditions in these different countries
that an ordinary farm hand in the
United States raises as much grain
as three in England, four in France
FIVE in Germany OF six in Austria.
One man in American can produce
as much flour as will feed $50,
whereas in Europe one man feeds
only 80 persons. Mr.. Mulhall calls
special attention to the fact that the
inte llectual power of the great repub-
lie is in harmony with the indus
trial and mechanical, 81 per cent Of
the total population over ten years
of age being able to read and write.
Il may be fearlessly asserted that in
the history of the human race no
nation ever before possessed 4l,ooo,-
900 instructed citizens.
The writer sets forth in regard to
the growth of the wealth Of the
United States that the average an
nual increment from 1921 to 1890,
was nine hundred and one milliards
of dollars, which sum is one mil.
lizard over the total wealth of Great
Britain.
Classifying the whole wealth Of
the Union under the two heads Of
urban and rural, Mr. Mulhall finds
that rural, or agricultural, wealth
has only quadrupled in forty years,
while urban wealth has multiplied;
sixteen fold. In an important series,
of figures it is shown that the ssriss5
of wealth and the increase of wages
came almost hand in hand" In deal
ing with the development Of the.
farm values, Mr.. Mulhall makes the.
following statement:
eff the United States had no
urban population or Industries what
ever, the advance of agricultural in
terssts would be enough to claim
the admiration of mankind, for itE
has NO parallelin history"

others to do the work for him. AS a
state printer he simply receives stated
price regulated by law for each piece of
work he performs for the state. The
public cannot be affected either directly
or Indirectly by the refusal of this court
to grant an injunction in this case. The
contest is of personal interest to Mr..
Snow and Mr.. Hudson, but not to
the public. The public is not
vitality interested in the result, and a
court of equity should not obstruct the
race by injunction.
at is alleged on behalf of the plaintiff
that the court should grant an Injunction
in favor of an officer de facto upon a
colorado showing in his behalf that he
is entitled to the Office, and especial at
tention is called to the case of Gyllotte
vs. PoincY, Al Ala An, 1913. But
in that case the court recog-
nizes the doctrine that a court
of equity in an application for Injunction
will carefully scrutinize the case, and
that it requires more than colorado
showing On page 1888 the court says:
abuse of this remedy by officers de facto
will be guarded against by the exercise
of judicial discretion which would re.
fuse an injunction unless serious show
ing of apparent right were made
''In accordance with the foregoing
views this court is of the opinion that
the application for temporary injunc-
ton should be denied, and it is SO or
dered."

The Health Board statistics Incomplete
by Reason of Laws.
In the tenth annual report of the state
board of health just issued the secretary,
DR.. Henry w. Dykes, recommends on
behalf of the board that compulsory
measures be taken by the legislature to
obtain the registration of vital statistics.
There is now no law that compels physi-
clans to report to the health officers
throughout the state the deaths, birth
and marriages that have occurred.
In the year ending December 81, 1894,
there were reported 1885 deaths, 10. 1877
births and 8.014 marriag IS, but owing to
the laxity of the laws the report does not
pretend to be complete.
The report of the registration of ply
sicians shows that Kansas has a total of
1900. They are classified as follows:
Regular 1928, eclectic 296, homoeopath-
ic 1913, midwives 161, physio- medical l,

The Advent of Rain Water Maker

Mrs E. Gaylord was seen at her home,

porter's query, said: Il tried my pack
age of Rain Water Maker in the hard
alkali water of our we'll and was sur
prised and delighted at the result. It
seemed to break the water thoroughly
and the softness was remarkable. We
have never been able to break this water,
as much as we have tried, but now all
our troubles are ended by the advent of
this marvellous preparation. We have SO
little rain water anyway, that we need
something of this kind constantly. l am
sure don't know what we would do if
they would stop making it We used it
in small quantities of rain water also
and the result was delightful beyond all
description. I intend to get a large

also to use it in my next washing and
test its effects on hanuels and mulls.

Nine days ago Kinks "Rain Water

Topeka Today 1t is the most talked of
preparation in the city. The retail gro

bought a package nearly a week ago,

wonderful preparation she had ever

used but little more than third of the
usual quantity of soap, and her clothes
were whittier and in every way better

Kinks Rain Water Maker.
She said: Ever since my husband
brought home the package of Rain
Water Maker l have been eager to use
it and see for myself how it would act in
breaking water, SO few days ago I used
it in my bath and I must say it surprised
me- 1t broke the hydrant water as
easily as if it were soft Another thing
which pleases me is, that can now have
my washing done at home, while former
~ l had to send it away. The water to
me appeared to be softer than rain water,
when broken, for it felt like silk, so soft
