Of Which all but 9,577 20 were taken
by railroad companies whose roads do

than angact of justice that the proceeds
of these lands, which belonged to the

should in some measure at least be re-

III asking it of the legislature we are
not mendicants, but are simply asking
for the return of our own.
Congress had granted lands to other
states in the same way but in no other
state had the proceeds been diverted
from the purpose specified by the grant
but had been applied according to the
terms of the grant. Mr.. Valentine has
for many years made the Subject Of
drainage matter of special study, and
is authority on the subject. His re-
marks were timely and appropriate,
and his ideas concisely presented. He
was followed by Prof. w. NJ. Hays
of the State University, who spoke on
Roads and Road building in Relation
to Farm Drainage"
He first spoke briefly in regard to
public improvement. in general way,
then referring to road building in the
Red River valley, said the conditions
here are peculiar, and present many
problems in regard to the good roads

for an address on the "Great Floods Of

forwarded a paper to be read before

Major a, w. Edwards Of Fargo to ad-
dress the convention.

marks by saying that although not on
the program, after listening to the de-
ightful music he felt impelled to do
his share toward entertaining the con-
vention. His remarks, which were brief
were along practical lines, mentioning
his experience and observation in the
Red River valley, extending over near
ly quarter of century.
He spoke Of the project to build res
ervoirs at the head Of the Otter Tail
and Red Lake rivers, and that the
scheme had been declared feasible by
the government engineer. That the gov
ernment is willing to make such ap-
propriations as are needed for the re-
lief Of this section Of the country, if
fully advised as to it's needs.
His remarks were listened to with
great attention and applauded warmly.
j. Arbuthnot, mayor Of Winnipeg,
was called on for remarks and respond
ing, he explained that he had not ex-
pected to be present and had made
no preparation for participating in the
discussions that might come up.
But he gave brief recital Of the sit

question Of the floods Of the Red River
valley, and Of their interest in the
question Of measures to avert them.
The convention adjourned till two
o'clock to give the committees oppor-

the value of pr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription in the minds OF those
who have used it as a preparative
for maternity. and for the reason
that every woman who has exper-
fenced maternity has a definite
standard of comparison by which
she can measure the difference in
her condition with and without the
health giving aid of ''Favorite Pre-
scriptiou.
For example Mrs. S. e. Rose, OF
Big Otter, Clay Co.. West Va
writes DR.. Pierce as follows: Il
am the mother of FIVE children and
have been as high as eight days IN
the doctor hands and never less
than two days at any time until the
birth of my last child. Then | had
used two bottles of 'Fayorite Pre-
scription and the doctor was with
me only two hours.'
Every mother will appreciate the
force OF that testimony. There is
no chance for error or forgetfulness
in such a case. 1t is plain state
ment of fact; one hundred and nine
ty two hours of suffering reduced
to two hours by the use of Favor
ite Prescription.
This shows what help "Favorite
Prescription renders in extreme
cases. In the ordinary case of
childbirth the use of this medicine
makes the baby's adyent practical
ly painless Thousands of women
testify to this. Mrs. w. ]. Kidder,
of Hill Dale Farm, Enosburg. VT,
says that she was in fast failing
health aud with the trial of mother
hood before her. when she began
the use of "Favorlte Prescription. -
The result was, to quote the exact
words of her letter; ~ began to
improve immediately my health be-
came excellent and could do all
my own work. bad a short easy
confinement and have healthy
baby boy"
DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescrp'
ton by it's remarkable tonic proper
ties, puts the system on basis Of
sound health, Nature does the
rest. Nervousness, morning sick
ness. loss Of appetite, dependency
aud anxiety are all cured by the
use of "Favorite Prescription. II
gives great physical vlgor and
muscular elasticity, which explains
the practically painless birth hour.
1t also induces a free flow of the
nutritive secretions SO that the
mother is abundantly able to nurse
! and nourish her babe.
Is it any wonder that many a

terms similar to that Of Mrs. J w.

Who are those men hugging one an
other and looking so pleased, standing
in the stairway?
They are Charley Allison and H. P.
Farrelly, my son. Why are they ticKled?
Listen at what Mr.. Allison is saying
and you will find out. He is telling
Mr.. Farrelly how easy the Republicans
Of Chanute are. He is telling them
they must vote for Chanute man for
commissioner for our home interests
and he says the Republican jays swal-
low his stuff and that is what tickles
Allison and Farrelly so.
You don't know that tall dignified
looking gentleman! Why, Tommy,
that is Mayor Roe. The Democrats
wanted him to run for county commits
sioner but John was too wise for that;
Not that he would not like the place,
if nothing better offered, but John
knows too much about the politics of
the Third district. John smiles on
the other side of his face when he sees
the Democrats hugging one another
over the prospects of a Democratic
commissioner and tells the boys that
he knows from experience that Cha
mute Republicans are easy worked but
that there are six or seven hundred
farmers in the district south of Tioga
township, who are not quite so badly
stuck on having commissioner from
Chanute, and the worst of it is that a
good many of them are Pops and Dem
ocrats.
Yes, Tommy, l notice that company
of elegantly dressed ladies, they are
going out for an afternoon of cards.
They will play whist all afternoon for
some prize, If their husbands should
sit down to poker game where a few
dollars were at stake, they would think
it just awful. Their husbands will
take supper down town tonight or eat
a cold lunch with the children. No,
Tommy, there is nothing wrong about
an occasional social game of cards, but
when it becomes dissipation 1t should
be checked.
That solid looking man hustling
along like he had business some where
is Prof Register. He is superintend-
ent of the Chanute schools and is do
ing wonderful work for the school in
terests Of the town. He is the best
superintendent we have had In many
years and as a consequence, the schools
are doing most excellent work. No,
Tommy, there will be no new school
house begun this year. The board
say now they will be ready by spring
to begin.
That man talking so loud over there
on the corner is Mr.. Fisher of the
Oriental hotel. He is telling travel
ing man about our many fine oil and
gas wells, He is Offering to bet him
10 that we can show more good gas
wells than can lola. No, Tommy, he
is not mad, he is the best natured fe,-
low in town and the best hotel keeper
in Kansas. His hotel is becoming ia
nous all over the country. Yes, he
makes plenty Of money but somehow
1t does not stay with him,

When boy turns his bullying pock
ct inside out we marvel at the guam
tity and variety OF articles he has
slowed away. Odd lengths of string,
marbles, horse.chesnut, top, brass
nails, hickory nuts, an apple, and many
more articles are garnered by this
snapper up of unconsidered trifles."
We think the collection must be hard

we ever think of the variety and mis-

nails and with no more fool value than
so many marbles. And yet we won

When the stomach breaks down under
the strain of careless eating and irreg =
ular meals it can be perfectly and per-
manently restored to health and to
strength by the use of DR.. Peirce's

ion of this medicine on the stomach
and other organs of the digestion and
nutrition is so marked, that relief from
disease is at once experienced, and the
headaches, liver TROUBLES" kidney
disorders, skin eruptions and other
symptoms Of diseased stomach are
quickly cured. Whenever the use Of
laxative medicine is indicated, use
DR.. Perce's Pleasant Pellets. They
act in harmony with the discovery"
and assist its action by purging the

A Success.

The drama given by the Aston
company in Williams opera house last
Monday night, was great success.
An immense audience greeted this
popular company, and everyone went
away from the play feeling he had been
royalty entertained. The play, AT
the Old Cross Roads," was remarkably
wellrendered. Every performer SEEM
ed star in his part. Such a play is
worthy of the attention of every theat-
er goer.
