be very satisfactory. Rev. ]. A,
Sigurdson went to Winnipeg yester.
day to attend official meetings OF his
church; he was detained here coup.
le OF days by illness.
T. L. Price In q Hold-up.
Mr.. T. T.. Price, who has been SO.
journing with his family 10 California
for the last month, returned on Tues.
day. His wife and family remain
there for a time. Mr.. Price had a
thrilling and novel experience while
passing through Oregon on his way to
Portland. He was occupying berth
in a colonist sleeper and about hall
past eleven at night he was wakened
by the train slowing up. Soon he
heard muffled sound like shot,
then came heavy explosion. BY this
time it was known that the train was
being held up BY robbers. The place
was IN a long, deep. rock cut and the
night was very Clark. The first shot
heard was fired by the express messen-
ger. The robbers then placed stick
Of dynamite against the car daor and
blew itin. Meantime the messenger
jumped out on the other side and ran
back into the sleeper to conceal him
self from the robbers whom he
thought would revenge themselves by
shooting him for his shot,
The robbers then uocoupled the ex-
press car and took it ahead about an
eighth Of a mile. and proceeded to use
dynamite to open up the express safes
of which there were two. They work.
ed for about two hddrsy1nd smashed
the smaller safe to pieces but though
they damaged the big safe they could
not open 1t. The dynamite explos.
ions finally set the car on. fire and the
robbers left. The car was burned
with all its contents including the
passengers baggage. The robbers
took the registered mail pouches end
1T was hard work to prevent the mail
car from also being destroyed by fire;
one end being burned out. Mean.
time the passengers remained in their
cars, very much frightened, and hid
ing their valuables as best they could,
but fortunately they were not disturb.
ed. Mr.. Price had his usual good
luck with him, for while he missed
the train one day, that sent his bag
gage ahead of him on previous train
so he did not lose it In the fire. Soon
after the robbers left, assistance
came from a small STATEN in the
neighborhood, to which the fireman,
slipping away, had run to, but too late
to do any good. Mr.. Price has a lot
of debris, mostly jewelers. samples,
as mementoes which he picked up
from the wreck of the burned car.

We learn with regret Of the death

Walsh county. Mr.. Reinhardt was q
pioneer OF this northwest. He was
for years In the employ of the Hud-
sons Bay Co. and stage driver when
there was scarcely a settlement from
st. Cloud to Fort Garry. His person
al history was full Of events of inter-
est and adventure. Simple hearted,
honest, good.natured, but with a
foundation Of good common-sense and
native shrewdness, Mr.. >Reinhardt
numbered among his friends almost
every man who ever knew him. He
was veteran of the war and was q
member Of the Grafton Post G. A. r.
He was for time sheriff of Walsh
county. There are many of the old
timers ia this county who will regret
to learn of his demise.

MARTIN MoNAHAN, living in town
of Granville, suffered an experience
this week that he will remember for
the remainder of his life, and which
came near costing him his life. While
watering his horses Wednesday about
4 O'Clock, the bucket became loose and
dropped to the bottom Of a 25-foot
well. Martin tied a rope to top of the
we'll and slid down after the bucket.
He started up again and when near
the top the rope broke and Martin fell
back into the we'll. There he had to
stand up to his waist in cold water un-
til II o'clock Thursday when neigh
Dor called and pulled him out, more
dead than alive. DR.. Demars was
called and Martin will be around in a
few days. What Mr.. Monahan suffer-
ed during that 20 hours, down an 49,
inch we'll and up to his waist IN water
must have been terrible, and it is a
miracle that he lives.-Hallock Week

windows last week has been working
on the streets shovelling snow this
week and proved to be a good worker.

but really the improvement in the

able to the public. 1t looks as though

vided for, was true. "

DISEASED NERVES.

An Extract From a Recent Lecture at
 the Surgical Hotel.
 Diseased nerves are the result of thin blood. Pure, rich blood always makes strong nerves. Good blood is the result of good food, we'll dgested. Bad food, even though it be well digested, cannot make good blood. Good food must be we'll digested to make good blood. There fore diseased nerves are traceable direct ly to poor digestion. With the slightest catarrh of the stomach no one can have good digestion. Very few of the many people who have catarrh of the stomach suspect what their real trouble is. They know they belch after meals, have sour stomach, sensation of weight or heavi- ness, fullness, irregular appetite. drowsi- ness, gnawing, empty sensations, occa- do not know that their trouble is catarrh of the stomach. If they did, they would take Pe-ru-na. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever located. As soon as Pe-ru-na removes catarrh from the stomach the digestion becomes good, appetite regular, nerves strong, and trouble vanishes. Pe- ru-na strengthens weak nerves, not by temporarily stimulating them, but by removing the cause of weak nerves poor digestion. This is the only cure that lasts. Remove the cause; nature will do the rest. Pe-ru-na removes the cause.

EASTER.

Bring flowers bright flowers, the Savier has riSen Fair lilies and roses have burst their dark prison, For nature is weaving bright garlands to lay A sweet tribute on this. memorial day! The sorrow that saddened Cavalry is blended With songs of rejoicing, for Christ has as- cended! A sunburst of joy has gladdened the tomb, A halo of glory dispels the dark gloom. Little children have learned the promise once given: "Of such is the beautiful kingdom of Heaven" While age, with it's burden of sorrows may find Comfort and peace for the weary. worn mind. All Christendom now has learned to re- joice, And mingle hosannas with natures sweet voice; For truth, in its might has burst it's dark prison, And Christ, the crucified Savior, has risen

You think it is because

You think it is because your child is growing too fast " that he fails to put on flesh. More often it is due to a gradual and general weakening of all the forces of the body. The child may have no pain, may have a fair appetite and yet lose flesh. Perhaps the happiest effects of Scott's Emulsion are in such cases as these. It gives the body fat which is easily taken up; alters unhealthy action and sup plies the best blood making food known to medical science.
