DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes FolIoyy
Its Excessive Use.


Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t
was never intended for a medicine and
people who use it as such will some
day regret it.
We refer to the common use Of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach
a habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
IN the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines, caus-
ing death by Inflammation or peri
tcnitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20-grain loZenges very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptones, and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
LII. w uertn states That ne lnVarlaDl
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach. but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness and
will be found reliable In any stomach
trouble except cancer OF the stomach
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at so cts. per package.

SWINDLE IN ROADS
CRUISER DEDON SAYS KOOCHI-
CHING FOLK HAVE HARD
TRAVELLING,
YET ITAscA COUNTY PAID
RIG MONEY FOR THE WRETCHED
BY-WAYs FROM GRAND RAP
IDS NORTH.
RICH FARM LANDS In SIGHT
which May Be Taken by the State
for Indemnity Land Selec-
tions Hereafter,

w. s. Dedon, of Taylor's Falls, one of
the cruisers in the employ of the state
land department has just returned
from a tour through some unexplored
portions of Northern Minnesota, and
has made his report to the state audi
tor of the results of his investigation,
which will probably lead to a thorough
investigation by the coming legisla-
ture.
Mr. Dedon, who-is spending a few
days in the city, says that he has ex-
plored the valleys of the Big Fox
river to the Rainy, as well as the
branch which is the outlet of Bow
String lake. He reports that while the
Big Fork is a stream capable of car
rying logs well, the country watered
by it is overgrown by aspen, birch,
oak, balm of Gilead and balsam, with
a very little pine and some cedar.
While he is of the opinion that it will
eventually be of value as agricultural
land, Mr.. Dedon has Informed the
state land commissioner that he con-
siders the land worthy of selection for
indemnity with an eye to the future.
Mr. Dedon reports that from Grand
Rapids to Koochiching there is road,
but he intimates that the road looks
best on paper. and that when one tried
to travel over it, it is found to consist
of old tote roads, largely, and is, as
rule, impossible to the ordinary traf-
fic. Mr.. Dedon intimates that at pres
ent the road is almost undiscoverable,
amid the swamps, which are unfrozen
and in little likelihood of being con-
gealed, as they are at present covered
with about twenty-six inches of snow.
Mr.: Dedon is of the belief that while
the commissioners of Itasca county
have bought and paid for the roads,
they have not received an equivalent
for their money, and it is his belief
that some action will be taken looking
to the establishment Of roads in that
vicinity which viii be discernible on the
Topography as we'll as on the map.
Mr.. Dedon's exploration is the first
ever made. in that region by the state
land department.

but he never would be speaker, at least
not this session. Mr. Feig's view of
the contest is that there will be no
change until the holidays, but then
the winner will be easily determined.
The friends of Jones, and particularly
the committee from the Sixth district,
do not pay much attention to the nu-
merous candidates mentioned for the
speakership, but they are doing con-
siderable hustling and claim they have
the best of 1T up to date,
Senator John Smith, of Decker coun-
ty, is in favor of a reappOrtionment.
One of his reasons is that the Becker
county Republicans want to get out
of the same district with Clay county
which has a large Populistic repre-
sentation. The further claim is made
that the county is large enough in
votes to warrant its being made into
a district by itself.
Senator Thompson is not in favor Of
a reapportionment and in this he is
supported by other senators from the
Southern part Of the state. The South
ern senators claim that the population
of the Northern part of the state is
composed mostly of transients, while
in the Southern part the population Is
large and fixed and entitled to the
present representation. Those in the
Northern part of the state answer that
the legislators in the South realize that
a reapportionment means a loss of
membership and naturally object TO
the plan.
J. B. Kelly, of Pennington, who is
candidate for sergeant at arms in the
house, is at home by the bedside of his
daughter, who is dangerously i'll.
The announcement that Judge Hicks,
of Minneapolis, is likely to be a candi-
date for speaker of the house does not
seem to worry Mr.. Jones or his friends
in the least

CORN AND LIVE STOCK
Are Discussed at the Fergus Falls
Institute,

The Farmers Institute at Fergus
Falls Monday and Tuesday, was at
tended by over 500 people The interest
manifested Jagged not until the end
of the closing session. And the news
papers Of the town had reporters
there during all the sessions. This
feature showing the increasing inter
est.
Theodore Louis gave an address at
the first session which attracted much
attention. 1t dWelt upon the growing
of corn. The, veteran said he had
grown the same kind of corn upon his
sandy farm since 1865 This is rather
hard on the theory which affirms
that it is an imperative necessity to
change seed every few years. He had
practised saving his seed every year
by selecting the first ripe ears adapt
ed to the purpose. Through this mode
of selecting the corn he had advanced
its maturity fully three weeks. Am ex-
pertinent had been tried on his farm of
planting seed from properly cared for
ears, chosen for seed, and from ears
picked from the husking pile. One
hundred grains of each We're planted.
They were planted outdoors in the
garden, April %. Snow fell few days
later to the depth of 6 inches. The snow
melted and the ground froze to the
depth of an inch. By the middle of
May the corn was up. OF the 100 grains
from the seed properly saved, 81 kerr
nels grew, and each one threw out at
once three strong rootlets, of the 100
kernels taken from the husking pile
and not dried with the same care as
the other seed, only 81 kernels grew,
and these had thrown out only one
rootlet and not strong one at that
He had got far away from the period
Of nubbins now. His average crop was
100 bushels of ears per acre
The farmers were urged to give more
attention to the growing of beef and
mutton. They were told that sending
stock to the West and selling hay
at So per ton was simply ruinous.

FRESH POLITICAL NEWS.
Northwest Can Only Expect One
Cabinet Position.

The current talk among politicians
is that, if Henry c. Payne, of Wiscon-
sin, is appointed postmaster general in
the Mckinley administra ton, Mime
sofa will not get a cabinet place. Han
mas close friendship for Payne makes
his appointment quite probable In
the recent campaign Payne was right
bower.
1t is believed that, if no cabinet posi-
tion is given Minnesota, the state will
get one Of the most important bureau
positions in Washington; such as com
missioner of pensions or commissioner
of the general land Office. One thing is
sure and that is there will be no two
cabinet positions for the Northwest
The Milwaukee Sentinel's attack on
Payne does not appear to go for much
among the Mckinley men. It is re-
garded as nothing more than a local
fractional affair of no national impor-
tance. Most of the Wisconsin Republi-
can papers give Payne a hearty in
dorsement
The suggestion of McCleary as a
possibility for secretary of the treas
ury creates a good deal of comment
which is generally to the effect that,
while the oMankato congressman had
exercised considerable influence in the
late campaign by his able speech
against free silver, he is not tall enough
timber for the cabinet His business
experience as a school teacher and
principal has hardly been of the sort
that would fit him for handling the
national finances. 1t is still the pro-
nounced opinion among the st. Paul
Republicans that if any Minnesota
man goes into the cabinet, it will be
Davis or Merriam.
In Minneapolis it is said that r. B.
Walker may enter the race for sena-
torship two years hence. In that case
Minneapolis would have two candi-
dates, for 1t is well known that Char
ley Pillsburys eye is fixed on the place.
Washburn would like to be made min
lister to China, where he has plans
for building railroads.
The candidacy Of w. B. Douglas for
speakership honors does not seem to
be approved by Henry Feig. In COM
menting on the statement that he was
to withdraw in favor Of Douglas yes
terday, Mr.. Feig declared that he was
in the fight to stay. Mr.. Douglas, he
said, was his personal friend and
would therefore support him. With
equal emphasis Mr.. Feig stated that
Jones might be the favorite now and
appear to have the lead in the race,

This makes the total Of $50, 900, which
was called in recently, the number Of
the bonds to be called in being deter
mined by lot.
1t is apparent from the statement
of the state treasurer that the state
itself is losing some money by its own
law, seemingly There were 900 Of
the called-in bonds invested by the
university and permanent school funds,
which, being called in, leave these
funds with that amount of money avail
able and uninvested. 1t can only be re-
invested in government bonds, for
which a premium must be paid, or in
low interest-bearing bonds Of states
like Virginia and Tennessee, which can
be bought cheaper, even at discount,
some Of them. If the fund is invested
in desirable properties, then whatever
premium is paid on the new papers
is a net loss to the state fund.- which
as long as it was receiving the interest
of it's own bonds, was merely switching
money from one pocket to the other.
Treasurer Koerner, however, is of the
belief that the law, all In all, is a
good thing, for, while it may cause
slight inconvenience and incidental loss
to state funds by the calling in of the
bonds, this will be more than made up
by the saving Of interest on the bonds
called in. Some of the separate funds
may Sufrer, but the state at large Will
be benefited. he thinks.
Mr.. Koerner will have his annual
report out Saturday of this week. Most
important Of the recommendations he
will make will be that of transferring
the present school text book fund to
the general revenue fund. 1t amounts
to about $4,000 and the proposition
was made to turn it into the general
revenue account two years ago, but
the country members neatly caught On
to the situation and made play to con-
vert it to the use Of the road and
bridge fund. Their bill created lively
fight, but was finally laid to rest.
The title to several pieces Of prop :
erty on which state institutions now
stand is clouded; in case, for instance,
the deed contains a practically worth
less description of the land. Treasurer
Koerner in his report, will urge the
legislature to appropriate a necessary
sum to clear up all these titles.
In the Security Bank of Duluth,
which suspended payment Aug. IL last,
the state had deposited funds amount
ing to $7,S94,43. The state treasurer S
office yesterday received from the liza
BILE parties certified checks in that sum
thus paying in full the states account.
