day, and the heavy car went down the

Paine's celery compound has brought me
back to health
The thousands Of instances where It's
has been said-the scores of people in
every community who have tod this M
pie story; the downright, hard, cold facts;
the grateful Acknowledgements of men
and women who have suffered from the
diseases that have their origin in impa r
ed nervous systems and sluggish, impu e
blood-these are what have made Paines
celery compound far and away the one
remedy above all others that physicians
prescribe and the public indo-se
1t is by merit, and merit alone that
Paine's celery compound has achieved is
wonderful pre-eminence, not only in this
country but throughout the oivilized
world.
After the unfortunate person who IS
ailing because the blood needs nsw life,
and the nerves require natures fJCd
finally tries Paine's celery compound, and
gets immediate relief, another is added to
the great multitude of people who c
praise of this remedy has made the &C.
mand for it many times larger than tat
of all other remedies put together.
A person must have lost all confidence
in his fellow men who can read the fol-
lowing letter and not be convinced of The
great benefit Paine's celery compoun l
has done, is doing, and will continue 10
do for sick and nervous people wherever
it finds them.
When sick man or woman finds that
he or she has taken a remedy that has
actually done for him or her all that IS
claimed for it-it can be safely predicted
what will follow. Every acsu4inta zee,
sick or WELL will be told about it.

Senator Cashe1's- Primary Election
Bill Is FavOrabIy Received and

Ough and Effective.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 1S.-(Special)
The house tomorrow will probably pass
Lttle's resolutions for the issuance of
$4,000 funding warrants, and these will
be negotiated by Treasurer Mcmillan in
order that the first payment Of tie leg
islative salaries and expenses may g
made. So far there have been 10 pay
ments, members not being able to draw
mileage accounts. The early adjourn
ment matter is probably settled for the
session by the tabling OF the amen led
resolution to adjourn in thirty-f1ve d. ".
Senator Wolbert today introduced
tax ferret law, authorizing county COM
missioners to contract with individuals
for the discovery of property rot listed
on the tax rolls and for the paym mt
of not exceeding Is per cent of such tax
es collected. Bills were also introduced
for the repeal of the estray law; repeal
of the law creating state military board;
fixing salaries of clerks of court; estab-
fishing high school inspectorsh'p, and
making appropriations for state ad to
high schools; abolishing appropr alton
for state fair at Mandan, and for leasing
pasturage lands belonging to state for
period Of ten years.
A constitutional amendment providing
that an educational test may be rrescr b.
ed for electors was at one time voted up
on and adopted by the voters of the S ate,
and hence Senator Lewis has intro iuc d
a bill to enact such a law. This bill p o.
vides as test that the voter shall p. owe
before a board of registration that he
is able to read intelligently the constitu-
ton of the state in the English langr age.
This bill is producing a great deal Of dis
cussion, as it would throw out a large
proportion of the foreign-born voters in
the state, most Of whom are quite in
telligent and able to cope with and under
stand the questions of government in
their own language, even If they can not
read English. The general impression is
that If an educational test Is adopted,
it will not be nearly as sweeping as pro-
posed in this bill.

afternoon in this city, and officers Of
the the various steel companies apart from
the carnegie company were reticent TO-
day with regard to increased competition
with Mr.. Carnegie. No facts came to

a view to making competition hotter for
the Carnegie company. The weight of
