The story about the farmers in Kan
sas, who held up 8. train and took off
several hundred harvest hands and
forced them to work in the fields at
$3.50 a day, at the point of a gun,
comes from the New York Sun, to
which paper it was telegraphed, no
doubt, by some ambitious space writer.
It was never intended that the story
should be telegraphed back west. 1t
is one of those wild, western tales that
are intended only for eastern consump-
ton. :.

OLD TIME BISMARCKERS.
SEEM TO BE DOING WE'LL GENER-
ALLY ON THE COAST.

John Quinlan who returned recently
from a>trip through the coast country,
reports having seen many old time
Bismarckers on his trip. Mr.. Quin-
Ian visited Seattle, Tacoma, Portland,
Everett, Fairhaven, and other coast
cities. He likes the country gener--
ally, although does not have as high
az opinion of its beauty as some who
have gone west. Seattle, he says, is a
busy city, and the Nome business
alone is a marvellous growth. One of
the first vessels discharged cargo from
Nome a day or so before he left. He
saw Alexander Mckenzie in Seattle,
and reports him looking and feeling
much better since his release at San
francisco. Tom Flavin, formerly of
the Butte p%ostofice, is now a p~ostofice
inspector and resides at Seattle. At
Fairhaven he met L. N. Griffin and
family. Griffin has some OF the best
business property there and is doing
well, The canning and lumber in
dustries are the principal ones at Fair
haven. The town is apparently pros
porous, although Mr.. Quinlan says
that the smaller towns do not seem
much livelier than the smaller towns
in this region. AT Everett Sam Whit
ney and son Henry are running a big
hotel and doing well. Frank Call is
clerking in one of the principal hotels.
Val schreck is janitor at the court
house. Other old time Bismarckers
he saw on the western trip were Rea,,
Bowers, Sharpless boys, Ames, Glitsch-
ka, Richholt, and several other old
Dakotans. Matt GIineburg has a nice
home and is at work. Needham is
working with a saw mill company at
Fairhaven, with a better position ii
sight The former residents Of Bis
marck he saw were generally prosper

is upon its marvellous power Of nourish-
ing all the nerve tissues and purifying
the blood thateits remarkable cures de-
pend.
WEAKNESS, lack OF energy and despon-
dency are more q matter of nerves and
brain than of the muscles. At this sea-
son of the year, when thousands OF over
working people are entering upon the
drudgery that Will have no cessation for
nearly q year to come, many are already
showing the symptoms that sooner or lat
err result from hurry, care, anxiety and
haste, WITHOUT the amount of rest and
recreation that nature intended.
Thousands Of tired mothers, school
teachers and too-ambtious scholars will
reveal the strain before the winter is
over. s -
1t is high time for all to strike at the
root of The trouble. Begin the work o,S

All who try it will find strength and
freedom from disease in Paine's celery
compound. which corrects unhealthy
nerve action, and supplies the veins with
pure, more abundant, more vigorous
blood. Paine's celery compound is al
most universally prescribed by physi-
cians-who differ on many other things.
but who estimate at its proper worth
greatest of all remedies for the preven-
ton and cure of disease. 1t is no exag-
geration TO say that every week brings
hundreds of letters from those who have
used Paines celery compound and have
been benefited by it. Above is the pic
ture of Representative G. II. Storms, one
Of the cattle kings of Kansas. who says:

his own case. Let the reader try it and
prove for himself the abundant truth of
all that has been said.
1t is not what Paine's celery COM
pound says but what it does that tells
the story of its worldwide fame.
