If the fellow who did editorial
work on the Mandan Pioneer last

Keset Of conse on tho Nerves.

The impression prevails in many
minds that coffee is extremely injurious
TO the nerves and also to the liver. How
true this may be It is not easy to decide.
Normal constitutions do not as q rule
seem to find coffee in moderation in the
least degree injurious. Dyspeptics may
experience distress from its use, but ac-
cording to some carefully conducted ex-
periments 1t is quite as likely to be the
sugar and cream in the coffee as the
coffee itself. Persons who have been in
the habit Of taking coffee prepared in
the usual fashion and have found it to
disagree with them have tried black
coffee without sugar OF cream with
most excellent results. From which it
may appear that the caffeine may not
be 90 injurious after all. Indeed, IL has
Of late been used in cases Of myocarditis
with excellent effect. Small doses Of
caffeine are recommended, and these at
intervals, the remedy being given stead
lily, then discontinued for awhile. In
this way the system does not become
accustomed to the medicine, and it 10
not necessary to increase the dose Of the
drug.-New York Ledger.

PRESIDENT. MIR. Mellpn is second
vice-president OF the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, and
was formerly general manager Of the
Union Pacific railroad. The office of
president on the Northern Pacific
was rendered vacant by the resigna-

has been no vice-president. Lamont,

In accepting the resignation of
President Winter to take effect Au-

ed resolutions expressing their high
appreciation of Winters efficient SER

In their report for last week,
R. G. Dun & Co. say: 1.-THE great
change in business is emphasized
by the presence of a multitude of
buyers from all parts of the coun-
try, by their statements of the
situation at their homes, and
more forcibly yet by the heavy
purchases they are making. But
the customary signs of prosperity
are not lacking. The strong rise
in stocks, the growth of bank
clearings and railroad earnings,
the heavy speculation in many
products, but most of all in wheat,
have made the week one of sur
passing interest even to to those
who best remember the upward
rush of 1879"

The Ohio and Iowa democrats
who made the silver question the
sole issue of their state campaign
this year are very blue now. The
bottom has fallen out of the silver
argument by reason of the further
drop in the price of silver and the
further increase in the price of
farm products and general pros

nothing to support their doctrines

A GLANCE at the government
statistics for the last fiscal twelve
month. shows that immigration
has fallen off greatly. The highest
record of immigrants is that of
1882 when the number reached
788,oo2. Last year 23o.S32 came,
which is the smallest number of
immigrants of any year since 1879
when 1885 came. The falling
off of the last few years is due to
the hard times; but when the
news of the prosperity on which
we have now entered becomes
thoroughly known in the Old
World we shall find its people
Aocking thither in great numbers.

The New York Times is not a

sympathy with republican poll
cies. but it is a pretty stiff Ameri-

take this sensible view of the
present political situation:
these things we may fairly
count on with reasonable certainty
for four years, possibly for eight:
The tariff will be made no worse.
The currency will be made no
worse.
Whatever changes take place
in either will be for the better.
On this assurance every man
may go to work with energy,

A SHORT time before the Dick

stone Park there was a hold-up of
six of the coaches and two sur
reys. About 30 people were ask
ed to hand out their cash, con-
tributing in all over $500. The
women were not asked to hand
out, and it is estimated that the
robbers overlooked at least $4,000
in the crowd. The men were unu-
