Something to Depend on.

MIR. James Jones, of the drug firm O
tones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
OF DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at CoWden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav-
ing DIR: Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took bottle
home. and to the surprise of all she be-
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her.
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
on, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free trial

T z RESULTS.
GENER AL.

At this writing there are still
several Offices in which there is
some doubt. But there is enough
in to show that Pembina county
has for the first time since state
hood, Joined the republican..column
by a big majority Of nearly 500.
Two years ago on a much larger
vote, the fusion majority on con-
gress was 2l5,
Judge Young deservedly ran
away ahead of his ticket with
about 1000 majority and the com.
plimentary vote he has received
from home will not only be highly
appreciated by him as such, but
does a great deal to offset similar
vote in Grand Forks county for
Judge Fisk.
HALLAND,
Mr.. Halland's vote was not cut
in this county to any great extent
by male voters, and in many cases
the losses of republican votes were
made up by the votes Of democrats.
In the county he breaks nearly
even and slightly ahead of Schafer
which Is a gain of at least 200
SINCE two years ago.

GOVERNOR.

Mr.. Holmes for governor had
some complimentary votes given
him for old acquaintance sake in
this county, but not enough to
hurt Mr.. Fancher's vote appre.
ciably.
LEGISLATIVE.
The figures we have at this writ
ing make Wallace and Watt Ger.
tainly elected by large majorities
in this district and safe figures for
Fuller as senator and Restemayer
and Thordarson for representa-
tives in the Second District, that
making the legislative representa-.
ton solid republican from this
county. Mr.. Fuller's victory over
Mr.. Weiss is in many respects re.
markable. He only came into the
fight two weeks before election, he
was second choice as the first
candidate resigned, and Mr.. Weiss
is personally one of the most popu-
lar men in the southwestern part
of the county.
COUNTY TICKET,
The county ticket is remarkable
for its close contests and for its
spit tickets. A few precincts vot-
ed nearly straight, but in most
towns "favorite.sons" were plum.
ped for. As we said. at this writ
ing some fare still in doubt. But
Chisholm, Jackson, Quackenbush,
Wallace, Watt and Burke have
been walking Oh Easy Street eyer
since the first half dozen towns
reported.
WOMEN VOTE FOR HALLAND
Pembina women voted 4S for
Halland, 80 for Schafer. In the
rest of the county a majority of
the female. vote went for Schafer.

Tired Of Being Dry,

West Union, which has been "dry"
town for the past ten years, proposes to
submit the proposition Of whether or
not it will continue 80 to popular vote
of the citizens. It seems there is much
dissatisfaction there over the present
state of affairs, as the people are getting
tired of the drug store dope and want
the unadulterated article. As Brown
county people are considered eminent
authority on this subject we swipe the
following from the columns of the
Georgetown News Democrat:
West Union is to vote on the liquor
question-the vote to be instructions to
the town council. The town has been
legally dry for 10 years, but, in fact,
strychninely and rotgutly wet all the
while. A preparation known as jackase
bitters-made up of water and alcohol
in quantities to meet the demands of the
stomachs of those using it-has helped
the thirsty citizen to bridge oyer the ten
years of 30 called drought.

Of the promoters to build battleship to
be called the American Boy" which is
to replace by popular subscription the
ill.fated Maine. Most of our readers
are familiar with this movement which
originated with school boy who hopes
with the assistance of other school chill.
dren to raise sufficient fund to replace
the ill-fated Maine. 1t is to be hoped
that committees will be appointed in
our schools and fund started. The
enterprise is commendsble one, and it
would take but q little from each pupil
to make large donation in the aggre.
gate. Every school child in the United
States it is hoped will contribute toward
this laudable enterprise.
