is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing tho
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
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. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get it's beneficial
effects, please remember the name OF

The North Dakota volunteers
have left the state and are now
on their way to Manila. "A finer
set of men never wore the blue
uniform of our Uncle Samuel,
and we predict that if given an
tunity our boys will give a
good account of themselves and
cover themselves and the state
with glory and honor. The boys
were given a fitting farewell and
many are the sad hearts in North
Dakota today over the departure
of dear ones for the battle field.
God grant that all of them will
return to the homes they have
left is the wish of everybody.
Every one of them have patri-
otically responded to the cry
To arms! to arms! the eagle screams,
The bugle sounds the call,
The roar of battles on the breeze,
Our gallant navy plows the seas,
We're ready, one and all!

Last week a petition was circu.

Last week a petition was circu-
lated around town calling
for volunteers to organize a
militia company at Cooperstown
and petitioning the governor to
recognize and commission the
same. Many of those who have
signed it scarcely realize the i'm
portance of the step that they
took when they signed the roll.
If the company is organized and
commissioned it will be on the
understanding that if they are
called out by the government for
duty that they will cheerfully re-
spond to that call. Some have
signed that petition with the
understanding that it simply en-
dorses the sentiment of the
community in having a military
company organized here; others
have signed it simply with the
intention Of joininga a ''tin soldier"
company of stay-at homes for
fun and snow only, while others
have signed it with the ex-
pressed determination to 90 to
the front if occasion warrants.
Mr.. Bartlett is the choice of a
large majority of the boys for com
manding officer and he will make
a good one, and one that all could
we'll feel proud to follow. He
would be a leader and would al
ways be found at the head of his
company. He is serious in this
matter and will go to the front
at the head of Il company if he
gets the chance. To those who
are thinking of joining this pro-
posed company we want to say:
look over all the details be-
fore you join so that you will
know what to expect, and will
have nothing to regret when it is
too late.

School Entertainment.

MEMBER the Name.
School Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the
pupils of our schools last Friday
evening at the courthouse was a
grand success in every particular,
and great credit is due Prof. Sinclair
and the other teachers for hard work
performed in preparing the program.
The program was carried out as
printed without change and was much
enjoyed by the large audience pres
ent. Among the pieces worthy of
special mention are rheo. Syverson's |
essay on "The Cuban War;" Elsie
Flynn's solo "Goin' to Meetin;"
"Winding the May Pole," by fourteen
little girls-a very pretty exercise.
"Song of the Raindrops," by Mrs.
Pitner's primary class was very good.
The best piece on the program to
our. notion was the 'sfan drill" by
eight little girls of the primary room.
1t was very pretty and showed care.
full preparation by Mrs. Pitner. The
recitations of Misses Ida Stevens and
Mabel Slnithers were very good.
Miss Sadie Sinclair sang solo
"Dreams Of my Own Native Land"
SO nicely that she received a hearty
encore. Miss Sinclair has a splendid
voice and knows how to use it.
Many were disappointed that the
number following was rushed on
without giving her chance to re
spond to the encore. The scene
from "Midsummer Nights Dream"
a farce, was very laughable. The
whole entertainment was good and
we'll worth the admission price.
Volunteer Company Organized.
Pursuant to a call issued by
those interested a military meet
ing was held at the fremen's hall
Wednesday evening. The objects
of the organization of q militia
company were thoroughly dis
cussed and considerable enthusi-
asm manifested. 1t was agreed
to organize a volunteer company
ana the following officers were
elected: David Bartlett, captain;
| A. M. Baldwin, first lieutenant;
J. H. Sinclair, second lieutenant.
Twenty-eight volunteers signed
the roll and all expressed them
selves ready to respond to the
call of duty. Capt. Bartle ett is
no new hand in military affairs,
having served for five years in
the Colorado national guard,
three of which he was first
lieutenant. He is a good disci-
plinarian and the company have
certainly good reason to be proud
of their captain. Lieut.. Baldwin
was non-commissioned officer
of the Wisconsin national guard
for several years and will be a
valuable officer of the company.
Second Lieut.. Sinclair has had
very little experience in military
matters, but will soon familarize
himself with military tactics and
will make a fine officer. The
Cooperstown company is well
oficered and starts out with q
fine set of boys. Those wishing
to join should see Mr.. Bartlett

the proper thing. People should
bear in mind that it takes
time, lots of time, to equip and
prepare a large army for the
field and active service. When
you have got to ship soldiers 7,-|
500 miles to meet the enemy it is
well to have them.fully equipped
and ready for business. The
Herald says:
Naturally there is considerable
impatience expressed by many
people because the movements of
the war are slow. This has been
the case in almost every war
which has been waged. AS a
rule, events move very slowly at
the beginning of a war. Many
persons are complaining now be-
cause Cuba was not invaded
many weeks ago, before the
Spanish feet left the other side
of the Atlantic, but they forget
that our own navy was then
poorly prepared to lombard the
forts at Havana, while the portion
of our small standing army which
could be spared for the purpose
could hardly effect the defeat of
the large Spanish forces in Cuba.
1t was neces sary to raise al
volunteer force, and this is al
ways slow work. A large army
of volunteers cannot be raised,
uniformed, armed and trained in
a day or a week. If the admins
tration had rushed troops to Cuba
and met with a crushing defeat,
those who now complain of slow
ness would have been the loudest
denunciators of what they would
have termed rash and senseless
haste.
These remarks also apply to
the naval movements. There is
complaint now that Sampson and
Schley are slow in reaching the
Spanish feet in Cuban waters
and forcing an engagement. A
New York stock broker, in last
weeks circular to his customers,
draws attention to some historic
naval wars that afford lessons of
patience which our many would
be admirals might study to their
advantage. The Spanish feet is
playing a game similar to that
which it's admirals played nearly
ninety three years ago, in 1905,
with Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Nelson had blockaded the French
feet in the harbor of Toulon for
nearly a year and a half. At
length the Spanish feet joined
the French, ran the blockade and
escaped to the West. Indies,
anchoring at Martinique on May
12, 1905, the very same day of the
same month in which Admiral
| Cervera came there in 1898. The
combined fleets escaped Nelson
once more, but he followed them
across the Atlantic, and came up
with them at Trafalgar where he
utterly defeated them, capturing
nineteen of their thir ty five
vessels, while his fleet was only
twenty-seven in number. Mel
son had predicted to Captain
Blackwood a short time previous
to the battle that he would take
twenty of the enemy's ships.
He came within one of it. It took
Admiral Nelson from May, 1902,
to October, 1905, to accomplish
this victory, yet some people
around think that Rear Admirals
Sampson and Sca1ey are slow if
they don't accomplish a similar
feat within a week, Nelson ''got
there" all the same, breaking the
naval power of the two great
nations.
Sampson and Schley will prob
ably do the same with Spain, but
they must have a reasonable
amount of time to do il.
