Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1898-04-29

Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
became prominent in the cooperative
movement in North Caolina, the success
of which resulted in his election to the
U. S. senate to fill the term of the late
Senator Y. B. Vance. He was reelected
to the senate in 1887.
Mrs. Pritchard's testimonial to her
faith in Paine's celery compound is re.
produced above.
Below is a testimonial received from
the wife of U. S. Senator Warren of
Wyoming, whose distinguished services
for the country's best farming interests
are so well known.
81 was pursuaded to try your Paine's
celery compound in the early spring,
when in a very run down condition. The
duties devolving upon the wife of an
official in public life are naturally very
exhausting, and I was tired out and
nervous when I commenced using the
remedy. take pleasure in testifying
to the great benefit I received from it's
use, and can truthfully say that I am in
almost perfect health again. If I ever
find myself running down again, I shall
certainly give it another trial, and will

Have to Pay War Taxes.

The beginning of the war will give a
good many residents of the United
States their first experience with a wal
evenue measure, which is now under
consideration in committee. It now
seems probable that the committee will
decide on an increase of 81 a barrel on
beer, making the tax 81 a barrel. The
proposition to levy q stamp tax of 10
cents on railroad tickets Of 100 miles
and more will probably be adopted, but
it is expected that a ratable tax will
finally be reported. It is estimated that
this item alone will raise something
more than s2O,OOO,OOO and this, with lux
uries to be taxed, will, it is hoped by
the committee, obviate the necessity of
placing taxes on tea, coffee and other
articles of every day use, although a
member of the committee said
that he feared this could not be done.

A Mean School Board.

While teaching near Monango one
day last week Miss Alta Bristol noticed
a fire approaching her school house
driven by a heavy wind. Quickly realiz-
ing the dangerous situation, she at once
set to work to rescue the children and
herself from the flames. Procuring
some matches she started a fire close by.
Removing her skirt she beat out the fire
on the side next to the school house and
told the scholars to keep on the burned
patch. In this way she burned a fire
break around the house and saved both
scholars and building. Had it not been
for her presence of mind the outcome
might have been serious. Yet when the
school board met afterwards only one
member of the board was in favor OF
buying Miss Bristol a new dress.

It is now time, if ever, to get health

Nothing should now interfere with

pie make themselves chronic invalids
by neglecting the early symptoms of
disease.
Thousands of lives that are now fast

United States prove successful, it is
possible that none of the volunteer
troops will ever see Cuban soil.
The navy department has advices
from Europe that the blockading squad
ron under Captain Sampson will be at.
tackled by the formidable Spanish fleet
now at Cape Verde Islands. This in
formation from a secret source
which this government is maintaining
abroad and is of a nature which has
been anticipated since the policy of
Cuban blockade has been announced.
This information is accepted as all such
advices must be, for what it may be
worth, taking everything into consider
alton. The statement may be a ruse
%purposely advanced by the Spaniards,
but the note of warning has been
sounded to the commanding officers of
all the ships comprising the north
Atlantic feet. Should the Spanish
feet, comprising such vessels as
the Vizcaya, Pelayo, Cristobal
Colon, Maria Teresa and Oquendo,
and other ships, appear in
Cuban waters it would be the occasion
of the first great naval battle for which
everybody is waiting with expectancy
and hope, and the result OF which our
naval officers have no doubt. The flying
squadron will be dispatched Immediately
to meet the Spanish, should this plan
be attempted.
