Valley City Times Record: Thurs
day evening, March II, local dramatic
talent, assisted by Mrs. Fred Conklin of
Jamestown, will produce Fanchon at
the Academy of mnsic. Mrs. Conklin,
who has consented to take the leading
part in this intensely fascinating play,
is the young and vivacious daughter of
Judge Winchester of Bismarck, and
possesses dramatic talent of a high
order.
The performance of Ole Olson at the
Atheneum last night was attended by a
fair audience, and the show has not
changed much since it's first appearance.
Ben Hendricks portrays the character
of the green Swedish man acceptably
and Miss St. George Hussey has lost
none of her voice or good temper. The
principal feature of the evening was the
bicycle performance of John Lawson,
who by mean of an ingenious mechanical
continuance gives an excellent exhibit
ton of his ability as a wheeler.
jamestown Alert: The time of the
asylum board yesterday was devoted
mostly to the transaction of routine
business and the discussion of the de-
tails of building work contemplated this
season. Warden Boucher of the state
~penitentiary was before the board in re-
gard to the matter of furnishing brick
from Bismarck. The matter was not
definitely settled and it may be neces.
sary for the trustees to secure brick
elsewhere. The capacity of the brick
yards at the p%enitentiary. it is said, is
needed to supply the local demand.
Captain Frank p. Allen, commanding
Battery A., N. D. N. G., has sent the
following communication to Adjutant
General Miller, which has the right
ring to it: "In view of the possibility
of the necessity to maintain the coast
defences and th%elreported scarcity of
men accustomed to handling cannon, I
take the liberty Of informing you'that if
occasion presents itself, this command,
consisting Of three commissioned off
GERS, and fifty-six men, it's full complet-
ment allowed by law, is prepared for ac-
tive service whenever and wherever
necessity may require"

lives at Tacoma. The tickets at the
$40 rate are not on sale at the local sta
ton, and it is probable are on sale only
at competitive points, where the N. r.
completes with the 500.
At the last meeting OF the pe~nitentiary
board Messrs Boucher and Meredith
were appointed a committee to look into
the possibility and practicability of
getting some electric light machinery
which is at the jamestown asylum, and
putting it in shape to light the pen.
There is said to be a light dynamo and
the other machinery for a small plant
which could be placed in running order
in the pen at q small expense and would
be agreat convenience and improvement
at the institution.

Sheriff Taylor returned yesterday
morning from Glendive, bringing with
him Bert Sepperly, who is wanted for
running off with the wife of another
a Sepperly is accused by W. A.
Simons of Wogansport of clipping with
his wife, and complaint vas sworn out
against him, and a reduisition honored
by the governor of Montana. Sepperly
is now in the county Jail awaiting a
hearing.
Rumors of war were thick again last
night and there was another report that
Consul Lee had been assassinated aud
that orders had been issued for the
mobilization of the militia. The reports
appear to be of the same character as
the many that have been flying about,
but the militia boys would not be sur
prised if they were called upon at any
time, and the companies through the
state are kept in readiness.
Chief of Police McHugh requests all
persons to do the annual spring clean
up act. Refuse which has accumulated
during the winter should now be re-
moved, as the weather is warm, and it's
immediate removal will prevent often
sive odors and the possibility of disease
in many cases. Unlike many previous
seasons, refuse has not frozen to such
an extent as to render it's removal diff
cult, and due attention should be given
by all property holders to the spring
cleaning.

meeting has been arranged under the
auspices of the bimetallic committees
of all parties in the state. Among those
who are expected to attend are Hon.
w. j. Bryan, ex-Congressman Towne of
Minnesota and Representative Hartman
of Montana. There will be a banquet
in the evening, at which the above gen.
tlemen will speak. Other arrangements
as to details of meeting will be an
nounced later.
The local land Office has received de.
cisions from the general land Office in
two cases, where the Northern Pacific
road appealed from the decision of the
local Office. The road is ruled against
and the land office affirmed in both
cases.. One of the cases is against the
state of North Dakota, where the road
claimed certain land held by the state,
and the other was an indemnity 'selec-
ton in Emmons and Mcintosh counties,
the case being entitled Northern Pa.
cifc vs.. Daniel Mayer ct al. The land
had been homesteaded before the road
filed it's indemnity selections. The
amount of land involved is about 10000
acres.
The way the wolf bounty system can
be nursed by the thrifty wolf catcher is
evidenced by q statement made by Ben
Corbin of Emmons county, who says:
~ have hunted wolves in Emmcns
county for nine years, and in that time
I have spotted five old wolves whose cubs
I have caught every year. There are
many other such cases, but these I have
watched especially. Wolf No. l has
five cubs for every year, and in niue
years that would be forty-fve cubs,
which would net me s135. This is the
amount the county has paid for the in
crease of one wolf in nine years, to say
nothing of the amount of damage done
to chickens, turkeys, sheep and other
animals by the old WOLF" Following
this statement is a table of the increase
of the five wolves, on which in the past
nine years Ben has collected s942 in
bounty,

Land Commissioner Watt, whose gen.

by fire several weeks ago, has returned
from the east and will rebuild the de.

50x80 feet, which will be a great addi-

ness, if you want to get we'll and stay
we'll. Most likely it's indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach\by indigestion,
aus headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomach ache. nausea, irrita-
bility, and all the other well.known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis.
orders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are removed
all these symptoms and disorders dis
appear, because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because
it prevents the undigested food from
fermenting in the stomach and helps
the stomach to digest it's food.
