A STARTLING PERFORMANCE!
Wonderful Powers Of Healing.

Excitement reigns supreme in the
city over the announcement of the frea
public demonstration in healing the
sick, at G. A. r. hall, commencing
this afternoon at 3 o'clock sharp
Judging from the interest manifested
and current street talk regarding the
many marvellous cures said to have
been made by this phenomenal healer.
the G. A. r. hall will hardly hold the
large number who propose to attend
and witness the healing of cases that
have defied the medical world for
years.
A new way to heal the sick without
dragging the patient is what the in
valid world is looking for, and that is
what Mr.. Russelle claims he has, and
proposes to convince the public that
there is a much better way.
These demonstrations will be given
every afternoon Sunday excepted) at
o'clock. commencing. today. Admis-
sion and treatment free to everybody.

FOR sheriff.. E. B. MERGER.

Among the prominent and influential
Democrats of the county there is per-
haps no gentlemen mole worthy of sub
stantial recognition at the hands of the
party than F. E. B. Mercer, who is at
present candidate for the nomination
for sheriff on the county ticket. Mr..
Mercer is a pioneer resident of Langdon
and Cavalier county, and has been closely
identified with it's growth and progress
for more than Is years. His influence is
at all times exerted for the party good.
and he is known to his fellow citizens and
the people of the county at large as a
gentleman whose integrity is unimpeach-
able. In his campaign, should he receive
the nomination, there would be no room
for question as to his ability, and it can
not be denied that he would be tower
of strength to the ticket. In times past
he has been honored with various posi-
tions of public trust and honor in the
municipality, and has always performed
we'll and faithfully the duties devolving
upon him as citizen and official 1t
is therefore only fair to believe that if
he should receive the nomination for
sheriff and be elected he would be a
credit to the party in this capacity. He
is gentleman Of exceptionally liberal
ideas and keen sense of justice, who
has host of friends throughout the
county. AS party worker he is known
to be tireless. and has in times past al
ways exerted his influence as unit for
the party good. There can be no doubt
that he is entitled to recognition, and his
many friends would like to see him Sc
cure the nomination.
