Wool Items.

Glendive Independent: Many Of the
best clips in the county have not been
brought in yet, and it is certain that IS
cents will be offered here before the close
of the season. Nichols. Dupee & Co.,
through their agent, Geo. w. Beaslev,
have bought 2o5,5oo pounds the past
week, at an average price of I6 cents.
Two clips sold for II cents, but both buy
ers and sellers seem inclined to keep the
prices quiet.
At Braddock, Emmons county, 10000
pounds of wool were marketed last week.
The Price was I6 cents.
A. l.. Martin Of Sentinel Butte sold
his clip of 1900 pounds to w. A. Dupee.
W.. David and M. D. Cook, South
Dakota wool growers, were in the past
week with 10000 pounds of wool which
they sold to w. A. Dupec.
Frank H. Gibbs and son H. A. have
marketed 10000 pounds of wool at "
cents. The average weight per fleece
was a fraction less than 7 pounds. Fred
Griswold runs the Gibbs sheep at so
much per head per year. He has been
successful in the management of this
band and the owners are satisfied.
James Harmon and P. E. Anderson, of
Medora, were in Dickinson Thursday to
market their wool clips some over 1000
pounds each. They received 1917 cents
and felt that they should have had II
cents, as their wool is as good as any
ones.

500 Reward O

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least n
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

A New BURLINGTON Book,

Railroad companies are great patrons,
not only of the liberal arts, but of that
modern classical expression that print

its share to the sum total of railroad art

the finest specimens of scenic souvenirs

long volume picturing first the magni6-

then St. Paul and surroundings followed
by Fort Smelling and Minneapolis. In
all respects, composition, letter press,

volume.

An American Railroad IN China.

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured Il franchise Tor building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to nations
prosperity, health is still more necessary.
A sick man can't make money if there
are a thousand railroads. One of the
reasons why America is so progressive is
the fact that in every drug store is sold

The Fourth At # Berthoid.

r. N. Stevens of Bismarck Grated at
the Berthold Indian agency on the 4th
His words were translated and listened
to by 1000 Indians. In this connection
the Tribune says:
The Indians on the Berthold reserva.
ton are civilized to a greater extent than
perhaps any other average of Indians on
a reservation, and have adopted nearly
all white customs and fashions. There
were perhaps a hundred top buggies in
the parade, all owned by Indians. The
old time Indian in his blanket was not to
be seen. The men and women dressed
after the white fashion, and the day was
observed with all the spirit and decorum
of the whites.
There was a Catholic celebration on
the same day, confirmation rites being
administered, and Bishop Stanley of
Fargo was present, with Father Conaty
of Grand Forks and other divines.

Paris Green Kills Tree Worms.

Considerable damage is reported to
trees at jamestown from canker-worms,
and a few trees in this vicinity show the
marks of the pests. Prof. Waldron of the
Agricultural college, says that many pre-
parations and solutions and devices have
been placed on the market and described
for their destruction, but a quarter Of q

barrel of water seems to be very effect

is dull abroad everywhere. l have spent
the last three years entirely in Scotland,
England and France, in connection with my
brothers mercantile establishment in Glas-
gov. In France the merchants and manu-
facturers have a hard time competing with
German products and now the United States
is stepping in and taking the market away
from both. The same is true to a large ex-
tent in England. That is why all eyes are
turning toward the growing industrial power

Burkhart deeply loves the man. but on
learning Of his love affair with a girl friend
takes steps to break from him by forcing
him to think she is other than what she
seems. She feigns to be one OF the very up
to-date women who drink cocktails, smoke
cigarettes and play cards and finds in it an
efectual means OF forcing her false lover
to withdraw his attentions from her. In
one place in the act Miss Burkhart feigns
intoxication, but with such deft skill does
she handle this that it loses all Of the dis
agreeableness which attaches to such a
scene. Her mixing of a cocktail and the
smoking Ct a cigarette brought her applause
instead of condemnation for such audacious
acts. One secret Of her success is due to
her painstaking efforts with the little things
OF her act. She handled her lines with con-
sumate skill through the piece, while her
beautiful gown made many a woman in the
audience envious.
