Two Lives Saved

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of junction
City, ILL.,, was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was no
hope for her, but two bottles DIR. Kings

and she says it saved her life. Mr..

cisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, ap-
preaching consumption, tried without
result everything else then bought one
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery and
in two weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the won

coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at

Senator Hansbrough in a speech
delivered at the Opera House, Grand
Forks, last week, said:
"That the finance was an exact
science and argued that the prices Of
products were controlled primarily
by the money at hand t. purchase
them. This was law accepted by
all writers on political economy. He
drew a distinction between money
and currency; declared money the
basis of currency; the representative
principal, the other agent; declared
imitation Of currency as dangerous, as
contraction of money basis. True
friends of silver did not believe IN in
flation and fought against the policy
which contracts the redeeming money
volume. He was opposed to $50
per capita, and the paper money
doctrine. as also the $9 per capita
gold policy of Cleveland. He fav.
ored the restoration of that system Of
money which had stood for many
generations prior to the demonetiza-
ton of silver in '73. A friend of sill
YER was true American, and that
the war of independence was not a
failure, and not willing that any ma
ton shall dictate terms to the United
States. Friends of silver were hostile
to foreign encroachments upon Amer
ican soil. He was opposed to the
two-huudred- cent. dollar and in favor
of bimetallism. Tie senator closed

was to cultivate love Of country; be-
lieve in the supremacy Of its institu.
tons. This is the true essence Of
patriotism. Our motto should be,
"We lead, we do not follow" He
declared that We should return to the
money of the Bible; the money Of the
constitution; that the gold standard
is the institution of oligarchy; the
gilded highway to tyranny.

explain why it is that the jamestown

cieties than in their faver, and that in
spite of all the good they claim to do
Most of those societies or lodges have,
at least, one great big fault, that even
we country people can sec clearly, and
that is their meddling with religion.
Religion should, by all means. be ex.
cluded from those societies, because it
is too exalted for them, it lies in q
higher and pursr ether, than they move
in. Hence they cannot comprehend It
or make right use of it. Furthermore
religion is impartial and unfolds to all
its secrets; therefore it is unsafe to the
secret societies and may also reveal to
outsiders more or less Of their secrets
which the lodge may not be aware of.
We outsiders, who have never rode a
goat in our life, we know, for instance
that the lodges have an article of faith
to the effect that ali their members shall
be saved and enter the celestial city
above when their life here below hath
come to an end. This must certainly
place them below the average heathen
and this we should not know had they
not meddled with religion. But this il
