DYSPEPSIA.
4 Life Of Agony, a Death Of Pain, is the
Experience Of its Victims.

This dreaded disease is caused by imperfect
action of the stomach, and impurities of the
blood. Gastric ulcers appear at certain stage.
they slowly eat into the vtals of the victim:
poisoning his blood and preventing the absorb
ton of proper nourishment from the food.
The patient at last dies from starvation, unless
a knawing ulcer penetrates an artery, and
death from hemorrhage is the result. Do NOT
continue to suffer. You can be cured.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa brings relief in every
instance. 1t tones up and rectifies all dezanSe-
ments of the stomach, liver and kidneys; above
all it puries the BLOOD restoring to it its power
to convey nourishment to all parts of the body,
and enables it to dispel all poisons from the
system. Note this one of many cases where
health has attended its use.
81 have been great sufferer from chronic
dyspepsia for thirteen years, and finally be-
came SO bad that was unable to work or do
any business. 1 am very thankful that net
the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co., as they
have by their Kickapoo Indian Sagwa made O
new man of me. My health is again fully
restored, and can work with entire satisfac-
ton, and deem it q duty to make this known,
SO that those suffering as have may use the
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa and be benefited. l

INDEPENDENT BUYING
Makes 1t Improbable to Do Direct
Shipping.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
RAWLEY, Mimi, Feb. 23.-This has
been one of the best wheat markets
in the upper portion of the Red river
valley, and very little wheat or flax
has been shipped direct by the farm
ers. The competition of William Rit-
terman this year, and of Ritterman &
Johnson in '94, held the price up, and
reduced the margin until there was but
little profit to be made by direct ship
ping. There was marketed here of the
crop of '94 about 1000 bushels, and
one-half of this was handled by Rit-
terman & Johnson, the independent
buyers The other $4,000 bushels was
divided between the line houses of An
drews & Gage and the Minnesota &
Dakota.
This year William Ritterman has
been alone, and has bought indepen-
IDENTIFY, paying higher prices than at
any other town in this section. In or
der to secure share of the wheat the
line companies have been forced to
meet the prices named by Ritterman
There has already been marketed from
the '95 crop 100000 bushels, and it is es-
timated that Ritterman has handled
not far from 100000 bushels, the re-
naming 10000 bushels having been di-
vided nearly equally between the two
line houses.
There was considerable flax grown in
this section, and some Of this was
shipped direct by the producers. 1t is
far more difficult to grade flax than
wheat and the buyers must have a
greater average margin than is neces-
sary when buying wheat.

Do Business About as They Please
ULEN. Mimi, Feb. 23.-There are
three line houses here, and they have
things pretty much their own way in
the matter of grades and prices for
grain. Many of the farmers ship their
wheat direct and Evans Brothers,
merchants, have assisted them in do
ing so. Other farmers who live south
of this place have hauled their wheat
to Hawley, and many of those on the
east have sold their grain at Lake
Park The town is in need of an in
dependent warehouse, and many of
the farmers have been talking of or
gazing a cooperative company and
building one next year. The elevator
people claim to have bought on two
cent margin over expenses, but the eX-
perience of the farmers who have
shipped direct shows that there must
have been more leeway, as they have
made from three to four cents by sell
ing their grain at Duluth instead of
disposing of it at the local elevators.
O. S.. Olsen shipped a 454-bushel car
load to Duluth and received four
cents a bushel more than the local
market price that was quoted on the
day the sale was made in Duluth. His
wheat was graded No. / northern at
Duluth and at Ulen it had been given
the same grade, but at Lake Park it
was graded No. 1 hard. Mr.. Olsen
made three cents over the Lake Park
price by shipping direct.

New York Press.
Directly behind the timid young man
sat terror, one of the portly, hfty-
five-ycar-old, scrabbly-mustached men
that have money interests down town
and not much gray hair on their large
heads. The timid young mans arm
must have been longer than he thought.
for when he put out his hand it trav-

was a squeak and growl from the ter

timid young man.
Everybody expected murder, but

result.
1t should be said that there are
some exceptions to the hostility of the
Turks to relief work. Raouf Pasha,
governor general of Erzeroum, has
ably seconded the efforts of the relief
commission there. In the town of
Peri the local governor sent a gem

Coming of His Hoodoo Period.
Enos Urbes, a farmer, has been for
the last ten years a peculiarly afflicted

one OF the wealthieSt farmers in Lam
berton, but today he is reduced to pen
ury because of chain of unfortunate
circumstances for which he cannot ac-

The explosion that followed sent burn

insurance thereon.
Again he rebuilt his house on a less
expensive scale, and before match was
lighted in it he covered it with insur-
ance. But i'll luck seemed to follow
him, for, on going to his barn on the
morning Of Jan. Is, 1888, he found that
a $500 stallion had died during the night
from strangulation. On the night of
Jan. IS, 1889, just one year later, q
horse kicked his eldest son in the head,

Bare-Necked Girls on Skates.

New York Sun.
Americans are accustomed to see
women bundled up in furs as they
glide over the ice; to witness a wom-

scribes it as follows: 1T was showing
slightly, but in every available moment
between the races troops of men were
told off to clear the course. AT a
given signal six women started for the
first race. They were dressed in very
short skirts and transparent-looking
blouses, low-necked, with no sleeves at
all. We are told they were from among
the lower peasant people, and that the
shop classes never entered the lists
at all. The speed they went at was
quite wonderful, and especially re-
markable at the corners. For the most
part they raced with their arms be-
hind them, but the girl who won the

New York Dispatch to Kansas City Star.
Thomas A. Edison, asked if he
thought American inventors could
overcome the British naval supremacy,
replied: cit would require only the
impetus of war to bring forth such
inventive genius as would astound the
world. AS it stands today, a battle
on land need not be fought. A hand
full of men could sweep away an en-
envy. The destructive power is found
in electricity. I believe that the sub
marine boats now on trial by various
nations can be so improved that they
will be irresistible when bent on de-
struction. With properly compressed
air I think 1t would be possible for
such boat to remain under water
for day at time. At present they
are too slow to be effective. That
could be overcome.
Il believe that the aerial torpedo
furnishes us with protection from hos
tile warships. We are just beginning
to understand how effective they are
and how they can be improved I have

Soap Trees.

There are several trees and plants
in the world whose berries, juice or
bark are as good to wash with as real
soap. In the West India islands, and
in South America, grows a tree whose
fruit makes an excellent lather, and is
used to wash clothes. The bark of
a tree which grows In Peru and of
another which grows in the Malay ISL
ands, yields a fine soap. The common
soap-wort, which is indigenous to Eng
land. and is found nearly everywhere
in Europe, is so full Of saponine that
simply rubbing the leaves together in
water produces Soapy lather.

MEASURING ASTEROIDS.
The Results Obtained With the Lick
Telescope In Astronomical Meas
urameDts

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Prof. E. E. Barnard has recently pub
lished in Popular Astronomy the result
of his experiments with the Lick tele-
scope in measuring the four asteroids,
Ceres, Pallas Juno and Vesta. These
asteroids We're the first discovered be-
tween the orbits of Mars and Jupiter,
and for many years after 1907 were sup
posed to be the only bodies of the kind.
In 1916 new discoveries were made by
Hencke, and from that time the number
amounted to 287 in 1889. Attempts have
been made to estimate the diameterS of
the four principal asteroids by the meas
ure of light reflected. AS it was neces-
sary to take one of the planets for COM
parison, no accurate conclusions could
be reached because Of probable differ
ences in the rejecting powers. 1t is
well known that some portions Of the
moon reflect less light than others, and
that measure of the light from given
surface on the gray seas would give an
inadequate idea of the total reflection
of light from our satellite.
Having access to the only telescope
in the world that can give to the larger
asteroids an appreciable disk, Prof.
Barnard began the difficult work At
ter careful measurement he found the
diameterS to be as follows:
Ceres, 485 miles; Pallas, 304; Juno, 11S;
Vesta, 243
These measures disproved the esti-
mates that had been made by measure
ment of light, as Vesta, being the
brightest, had been considered the larg-
est. Ceres, the first discovered, Is the
largest of the four. The Italian astron-
omer, Piazza, of Palmero, found Ceres
Jan. 1, 1901.
Perhaps measurements of some of the
smaller asteroids can be made with the
new Yerkes telescope, when it is ready
for work. This instrument will have a
| clear diameter of forty inches, and in
| light-collecting power will surpass the
Lick telescope, as 1000 is to 1896; that
| is, as the squares of the diameters are
] to each other.
