Rope Walking at Niagara.

The man who wanted to walk
across Niagara Falls on a rope was
wisely restrained by the authori-
ties. Probably he is thankful
that such was the case. Death
comes soon enough. Take the in
roads Of disease for example.
Common ailments like constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, biliousness, mala-
ria and nervousness, do much to
shorten life. There is a medicine
that will cure these, if taken faith
fully, and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Set the stomach
right, and good health is sure to
follow. This peerless remedy has
a record of over fifty years of cures
to back it up When in need of a
medicine of this kind, get the old
reliable Hostetter's Stomach Bit

Stamp over the neck of the bottle.

A New Town.

Denbigh is the name of a new
town located eight miles west of
Towner and thirty miles east of
Minot on the main line of the
Great Northern railroad.
James E.. Reed, j. A. Pendroy,
and E..B. Pinney were down from
Towner Wednesday scripping the
townsite in the land Office, and
the work of surveying the lots and
streets will be commenced next
Monday. Tom Edison is also in
terested in the new town and with
this q~uartette of boomers to push.
it along, Denbigh will soon be a
fourishing city with all the modern
conveniences. Within the last
two years the country north of
the new town has settled up with
thrifty farmers from Iowa, and
other eastern states and there
will be a good trade for the
merchants at Denbigh from the
start. All the vacant lands within
a radius of twenty miles of Den
bigh will be occupied by resident
farmers this summer who will be-
gin the work of producing wealth
from the soil with as little delay as
possible. Denbigh surely could
not have brighter prospects for a
speedy and substantial growth.

In the Washington Post of
Sunday last was a long article
relating to the literary folks of
Washington. The people of
Devils Lake will be interested in
the following excerpt, for it has to
do with the wife of the senior
United States senator from this
state:
Mary Berri Chapman Hans
brough, wife of the senator from
North Dakota, is a Washington
girl. Gifted with musical, artistic
and literary talent, which has been
thoroughly cultivated and devel-
oped, she has attained marked
success in all three fields. She
has illustrated for Puck, Truth
Cosmopolitan, st. Nicholas and
contributed poems to the Century
Magazine, Boston Transcript, New
York Herald, Bachelor Of Arts
and other publications. In 1897
her first volume. Lyrics of Love
and Nature" was published, and
received highest commentator
for it's originality, lyric qualities
and polished form.
Mrs. Hansbrough is now put
ting the finishing touches to a
second volume of poems, and is
also engaged in perfecting a
volume Of prose, both of which
will be in the hands of her pub
fishers in a short time. She has
given several lectures on literary
subjects before the North Dakota
Chautauqua. Mrs. Hansbrough's
parents are natives of New Haven,
Conn.,, where her grandfather,
Russell Chapman, was a wealthy
wholesale leather dealer.

once, and after that so far as the
world is concerned, only the work
ing Of the thread of our doings
into the tapestry of the worlds
wide life. Then why not do our
little f~earlessly? The man who
works knows something of the
lust of battle; the man who finds
fault has nc such joy. It takes
the strength of manhood to pro-
duce any noticeable result in the
world; how less than nothing,
therefore, is the total value of
scofing at effort. The tardy fruits
of long endeavor are sweeter to
look at than the skeletons of the
destroyed efforts of others.
The only one who has the right
to criticise is he who has earned
his right by the blood and the
sweat of his endeavor; yet ever
then not a right to c%riticise
methods and means, but only
inaction. The crime of doing
nothing, hoping nothingS expect
ing nothing, foreseeing nothing,
prophesying nothing is one that
doors have the right to denounce.
Stress and strain free the wings;
lnaction keeps us slothful worms.
The world does not clamor for
advise, but it demands service

Just as the motion of the waters in
the we'll of Scripture carried heal

beside us may be out of touch
with us; even out of sympathy;
possibly quite wrong from our
point OF view-though none of us
is ALL right-but the immutable
laws of the good universe will
bring his dross to naught, while
the silver and the gold Of him will
endure. More hands across
cehasms Of misunderstanding will
be a fttingly progressive and
humane ushering in of the century.

FRIDAY, 2. 1900,
HIS POLICY OF SCUTTLE.
The Grand Forks Herald edito:

AAA0 WILMA OE 0NO 11Ahs
The Grand Forks Herald editor
should learn to be truthful. Sen
ator Hansbrough did not address
a meeting in Grand FORKS in 1896.
The senator did address meetings
that year in many places through
out the state other than Grand
Forks, and in each instance he
spoke for Republican principles,
and advocated the st. Louis plat
form.
Coming down to more recent
events, however, the Herald editor
bolted the Republican ticket less
than two years ago, and now he is
advocating Populist doctrine.
Those who are familiar with the
political record of the Herald
man and know of his inordinate
desire to hold Office will not be
surprised at any course he may
pursue. Political disappointment
has come to be a chronic condition
with Winship, and if his opinions
cannot prevail and his ambition be
gratifed his only policy is to over
turn the government. It is the
some old spirit of revolution that
animates the breast and controls
the action Of those unhappy NOR
tails who fail to be taken at the
estimate they set upon themselves,
How the state of North Dakota
has managed to get along without

tor is quite beyond his under

ship is. If he cannot sail tie shir
he would scuttle it.
And the best proof of these facts
and these deductions is to be found
in the columns of the Democratic
and Populistic press. where quota.

editorials are frequently found
with Endorsements and encourag.
ing comments from the editors Of
the anti Republican papers.

Ddu Thoughts
By GrOsvenor,'

Be not of the tribe that sit back
and find fault; be of those who set
forth and strive. "Just doing
things may not gain for you so
great a reputation for wisdom, as
lazily telling how to do; yet you
have chosen the better part even
though the harder. Wise head
waggings are nothing compared
with one clear-visioned purpose
worked out seriously It does not
take a particularly wise man to
discover defects in the sun; it does
take a very wise man to under
stand its full glory and power, not
withstanding the spots. Any
short sighted creature who thinks
that he himself rises higher by
discovering defects in others, can
find out Shiny things and bugs in
the grandest tree that ever did it's
forest duty; but it takes a man
with a feeling soul to stand far
enough away to see no defects and
to admire the symmetry of the
leafy giant.

1t is better to strive and fall,
than not to strive at all. Neither
criticism nor even knowledge of
our own shortcomings should deter
us from working out as best we
can the purposes within us. In

If organized labor in this coun-
try would strike in earnest against
the drink habit and liquor traffic,
and keep pounding away, it would
do more to ameliorate the condi.
ton OF the great army of t%oilers,
than it ever can by a thousand
strikes in other directions. The
annual tax that labor pays fol
liquor in the United States is
something enormous. AS the tax
is self-imposed it can be dis.
continued without riot or blood
shed or any social disturbance
whatever. Every individual can,
for himself, throw off this tax and
become in every sense of the term
q free man. A strike such as we
have indicated would have the
warm and sincere sympathy OF
everybody, except, perhaps, those
engaged in the traffic.

The Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany has inaugurated the system
of p%ensioning it's old employees.
1t has now on it's pension roll nine
hundred and fifty men, who by
reason of long service have become
incapacitated for active duty. The
pensions amount to nearly half the
wages they received when at work.
This is a move in the right di-
r%ection, and it is to be hoped that
the other great railroad corpora
tons of the country will follow
suit. The life of a railroad en-
ploye is a hard and wearing one.
After years of service a man is
sure to become utterly incapaciated
for any kind Of work, and without
some source of income, he is left
to starve or become a pauper in his
old age. The adoption of a pen
sion system would insure these
faithful employees against wantand
suffering in their declining years.
They are a most deserving set of
men. 1t is a good sign to see a
great strong corporation like the
Pennsylvania inaugurating such a
movement. Although corpora
tons as a whole have no souls,
they are made up of men who
have.

DAKoTA,s WEALTH.

NORTH DAKoFA's WEALTH.
Development of the coal mines
of this state is going steadily
on, The deeper down the coal is
obtained the better it is. The
Ignite at the surface is soft and
crumbles on exposure to the at
mosphere. But in going down a
coal is found that is almost as
good as bituminous, and it is the
belief of experts that more ex-
%tensive developments will result
in the finding of vast beds of the
best quality of bituminous coal.
This will be a source of wealth to
the state that has hardly been
taken into account by our people.
The truth is we have only begun
to skim the surface of the great
store of wealth which a kind and
motherly nature hid in the soil of
this great Northwest ages ago.
Soloman tells us: "It is the glory
of God to conceal a thing, but the
honor Of Kings is to search out a
matter" Abundant wealth has
been concealed in the earth by
the Creator for mans benefit and
it is mans business to search for
it, develop it and put it to use.
We have a great storehouse full in
this favored section Of the country
and all we have to do is to help
ourselves, Brave, honest hearts,
strong arms and level heads are
what we require to make Of this
one Of the grandest and most
prosperous states in the Union.
Let us send out glad tidings, into
all parts of our country and to
lands beyond the sea, of what we
have here in store and invite the
homeseekers everywhere to come
and share these good things with
us. There is room and oppor-
tunity for all who chose to come.
If the real unvarnished facts in
regard to the great opportunities
offered to the immigrant in North
Dakota could be spread before the
people of the eastern states there
would be inaugurated at once an
immigration boom that would
make a wonderful movement Of
population from east to west. Let
each and everyone out here on
these broad rich prairies take a
hand in advertising the advantages
offered by the Northwest. Send
your local papers back to your
friends in the older states, give
facts and figures in every letter
you write, talk, write and work to
induce people to come and Q for
themselves. There is no need to
exaggerate, to stretch the truth.
the plain facts are enough. Here
is the land of promise; here is the
seat OF future empire. Here are
millions of acres of the most
fertile land in the world, waiting
for men and women to come
occupy and cultivate them. Here
is opportunity to acquire homes,
wealth and independence.
