wouldn't be SO much sense in holding

Practical Suggestions for Xmas.

Practical Suggestions for Xmas.
One Of the questions we ask our
selves during the prevalence Of hard
times like the present, is, team I af-
ford to give Christmas presents?" or
sought to ask for money for such q
purpose?" The answer depends upon
how the money is to be spent. Any Of
the following articles will be found
both necessary and useful, and the
cost moderate. Children's sets Of
plated knife, fork and spoon, Is cents
and upwards; sets of table knives and
forks, IS cents and upwards; carving
sets-genuine stag handle, S1.50 and
upwards; roasting pans, just the thing
for the Christmas turkey, 60 cents and
upwards. A complete line of pocket
cutlery, fully warranted, 25 cents and
upwards; scissors-several sizes, war
ranted, 25 cents. These with skates,
sleds and hundreds of other articles
may be had at Estes hardware store,
Devils Lake, and at prices that do the
selling as we'll as the talking.

COMING HOME.

Senator HansbrouRb Urges the Re-
turn of the N. ID. Boys.
An Associated Press telegram from
Washington says:
Mr.. Hansbrough called at the war
department yesterday and inquired as
to the probabilities of the North Da-
kota volunteers being ordered home
from Manila. He was told that they
would possiblp be included in those to
come home, but that they would not
leave Manila until after the troops
that preceded them to the Philip
pines. Mr.. Hansbrough found that
there we're $500 volunteers at Manila
before the North Dakota troops ar
rived; that the total number of men in
the six regiments of regulars will ex-
ceed that number; so the North Da-
kota men will be included in the first
order.

THE OFFICIAL RETURNS.
Some Peculiarities of the Vote ]
the Recent Election.

Some Peculiarities of the Vote In
the Recent Election.
Bismarck Daily Tribune: A peculiar
feature of the official returns for the
recent elections is that although
Fancher, the Republican candidate for
governor, received through the state
about 500 more votes than Spalding,
the Republican candidate for congress,
the majority Of Spalding is greater
than that of Fapcher by about q
thousand votes. This is due to the
fact that Holmes, the fusion candidate
for governor, ran much ahead of his
ticket, receiving between 1900 and 1000
more votes than Creel, the fusion
candidate for congress. Driscoll, the
Republican candidate for treasurer
carried every county in the state, the
first time such thing has happened
in any campaign. Driscoll received bv
far the largest vote Of any Of the Re-
publican candidates, reaching nearly
5000 and has the largest majority, a
few more than 10000. The greatest
total vote cast was for governor, reach
ing nearly $4,000, while the vote for
congressman was about 456OO, there
having been over 1000 more votes cast
ex-governor than for congressman.
Seven of the Republican candidates
received majorities exceeding 10000,
which makes the Republican victory
altogether phenomenal one. At
torney Genefal Cowan comes second
on the list with nearly $4,000 majority
over M. A. Hildreth, although the
latter was nominated largely because
of his enlistment with the state volun-
teers and as an appeal to the patriotism
of the state. Commissioner Thomas
comes third on the list of majorities
with l,5O0 and Lieutenant Governor
Devine fourth with II 400.

ARGUMENT COMPLETED.
An Explanation Which Compliments
the Attorney General.

An Explanation Which Compliments
the Attorney General.
A special from Devils Lake to
the Minneapolis Journal, anent the
argument in the railroad rate case,
says:
The reports in circulation in num-
Der of so-called railroad organs in
North Dakota to the effect that the
attorney general has not completed his
presentation Of the railroad rate cases,
is untrue in every particular. Mr..
Cowan presented his brief and made
his argument before United States
Judges Thayer and Amidon, beginning
on Nov. 8 and completing the matter
on the 11th. Mr.. Cowan had been SER
iously ill for some days before his case
came into court and was ill at the time.
The court took cognisance Of his ply
sical condition and offered him, II he
wished it, q weeks time inVhich to
present supplementary brief. This
latter has not been offered, as Mr..
Cowan considered that his original
brief and oral argument covered the
case as completely as was possible.
There is no ground whatever for the
charges which have been SO freely cir
oulated and Mr.. Cowan as attorney
general has handled the rate cases
with all possible zeal and with pro-
fessional ability which is fully appre-
ciated by the railroad companies and
which can be more correctly judged
when the decision is rendered.
In conversation with an Inter- Ocean
reporter Attorney General Cowan was
emphatic in declaring that he had no
intention of presenting a supplement
tary brief, Notwithstanding the judge
had kindly allowed him weeks addi
tional time In which to prepare one il
he saw flt to do SO. In his argument,
the attorney general covered every
essential point in the case. and upon
due reflection concluded it would be
unnecessary to say anything more
because there is nothing more to be
said. This ought to close the contro-
versy that the Fargo Argus is having
with itself.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL LENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is

A WORLD BEATER.
No Place Like North Dakota for the
Man of Moderate Means,

M0n OF Moderate Means.
There is no country in the world
that offers the opportunities for poor
man or the ones with moderate means
that have energy, industry and rea-
sonable degree of frugality to gain q
competency, that North Dakota does.
Recall to mind the many that you
know who came to this country only q
few years ago with practically nothing,
that now have nice, we'll stocked farms
and are in comfortable circumstances.
Those who have made q failure--whose
fault is it? Why shouldn't one succeed
here? Farming and grazing lands are
cheap-and we use the word cheap ad-
visedly, because they certainly are
when compared with the prices asked
for much inferior lands in the older
states-the soil is most prolific and re-
4uires no fertilizer whatever to pro-
Iduce bountiful crops of almost any
thing desired. The yield per acre, is
greater and with a certainty equalled
nowhere else. Our farms require no
expensive fencing. Labor saving i'm
splements are cheap and can be used
most profitably. Transportation facili.
ties are excellent. Public and private
elevators are plentiful. The neces.
saries of life are as cheap here as they
are in any state. The county abounds
with schools and churches. The state
Is we'll differed by competent men.
The laws are just and equitable, and
taxes are reasonable and fairly pro-
portioned. With all these advantages
in our favor, why shouldn't the resi-.
dents of North Dakota, be prosperous,
and happy as we'll.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use Of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin
emily before the public both are Ger
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may occasion

novelty put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return tc

reliable, and for coughs, colds and

PARTY LOYALTY.

Hanna could have been defeated

one of the two colored represen-
ative in the Ohio Legislature, but
no they remain firm and true to
their promise true to their party,
and tr7e to Hanna. Money 1nor
other Inducements could not
change them. The colored vote
is the balancing power in Ohio.
