An effort is made to make every issue
Of the Enterprise worthy of being sent to
distant friends as representative Of this
enterprising community. We aim each
week to have few extra copies for sale
for that purpose. Some of our most
valuable citizens, who have located here
during the past four or five years, had
their attention attracted to the Rocky
Ford country by receiving copies of the
Enterprise from friends here. That
scheme can'yet be worked to the advance
ment of this portion of the valley and to
the good of those who may be induced to
locate with us.

Workinu PEOPLE Interested,

Wuertsburg, Wis, Nov. 17th.-The
working men and women of this dis
trict are greatly interested in the case
of Mary KowslSy, who, in an interview,
says:
81 have almost all my life been a suf-
ferer from Backache. and two years
ago l caught cold on my Kidneys, and
the agonies that followed were almost
unbearable
81 consulted different doctors, but
the relief they gave me was only tenn
porary. The terrible pains always re-
turned, and my suffering tempted me
to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. They did
me good almost from the start. till
now, after taking three boxes, am al
most completely cured.
81 want all Woodworking people to
know this, for, with the help of Dodd S
Kidney Pills, don't mean to suffer
any more Backache.'

Wooden Grapes.

An original idea on a hat of dull
green zibeline felt is a trimming of
wooden grapes in about the same col
or, with dull-green leaves. These are
used with scarf of pale-blue mousse
line de sole.
A good many hats are trimmed with
plumes Of mixed colors, and the shad-
ed feathers, too, are fashionable. A
capeline Of a heavy white lace has the
edge of the broad brim finished with
petit girls and band of the same fur
on the shallow crown. On one side is
chou of black velvet holding clus-
ter of gray feathers shading to black
on the tips and edges. The feathers
and there is lot of them-fall off the
hat brim, making a becoming back

LAW SCHOOLS FINE SHOWING.
The Percentage Of Increase Over Last
Year Surprisinc.

Year Surprising.
The college of law, in connection
with the University of North Dakota,
is making a splendid showing this
season. During the first three years
the law college had a great many diff
culties to contend with. Being new
institution, it was looked upon with
doubt. and it was not until graduates
had been turned out who have since
established a fine law practice, that
the real advantages offered would be
believed generally by the public.
The enrolment last year was but
twenty, and that at the time was re-
garded as good showing. Up to date
this year, however, fifty-two students
have been enrolled. This is percent
age of increase such as can be shown
by but few institutions of the kind
anywhere, and is highly gratifying to
everyone in the state. The new secre-
tary of the law school is DR.. Bruce.
He is a Western man, and used to
Western methods, and is making a
very good impression. AS Hon. John
M. Cochrane will be member of the
state supreme court at the beginning
of the year. he will have ample time to
90 considerable recurring before tue
law students this year. He now has
criminal law only, but after the first Of
the year will take up two other sub
jects. This is a fortunate thing for
the law college, as Judge Cochrane is
one of the brainiest attorneys in tho
state and a recognized authority on
law.
The entire university this season is
prospecting. The attendance is larger
than it has been for several years
back at this time of the year. and the
total attendance will be by far the
largest ever experienced in the his
tory of the institution.

Hon. David Meekison is well known
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He was elected to the
Fifty-ffth Congress by very large
majority and is the acknowledged leader
of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states

only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Pernna
