The inadequacy Of the Willis law
as a revenue producer, is now con-
ceded by the secretary of state, and
It falls over 100000 behind first cal
culations. With a special session of
the legislature to pay for it was hoped
the Willis law would pan out more
than at first expected and it's failure
to do so makes 1t possible that the
taxation matter may be broached in
the special session. If 1t is the leg

Mr.. Hanna is out with a denial Of
the statement ascribed to him in his
speech at Urbana, Wednesday, to the
effect that he intends Withdrawing
from public life. The senator ex-
plains that the matter was all joke.
He spoke in spirit Of fun and was
taken seriously by the press. All Of
this goes to show how dangerous it
is for a great politician to try to be
funny, without submitting to the re-
porters, advance sheets containing d.
agrams of his Jokes.

A GARD TO THE MERCHANTS.

A GARD TO THE MERCHANTS.
The pastors of the churches now en-
gagged in the evangelistic services in
the city and the Evangelists Rev. Toy
and MI. Fisher respectfully request the
merchants of the city, if mutually
agreeable to them, to close their stores
at 7:45 p. m. on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

may have an opportunity Of attending
the evangelistic services. These
meetings will continue every evening
this week till Friday evening in the

noon meeting at 3 o'clock ON Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All
welcome.
The evangelfstic services in the Pres
byterian church were attended by large
congregations both morning and even
ing. Rev. Toy puts things in a plain,
clear, straightforward way in which
he bases all on the Word of God, the
rock of Divine Truth. The singing
by the chorus choir as well as the solo
by Mr.. Fisher was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.

SHORTAGE OF A

Never in the history of the state of
North Dakota has there been such a
general shortage of school teachers as
exists at the present time. The lack
of teachers is felt in the country dis
tricts only, as there is a sufficient sup
ply to meet the requirements of all the
city schools of the state.
Even in the valley counties, where
heretofore with very few exceptions
there have been an abundant supply of
teachers, a shortage exists, and in many
cases the fall terms in country dis
trscts have not opened yet from lack of
teachers. Even in Trail county,
where a state normal school exists that
is turning out teachers every year,
sufficient teachers cannot be secured to
fill all the positions open. AS a mat
ter of fact, however, the graduates of
the state normal schools are not DIS
a rule looking for positions as teach
trs in the country districts, as the
wages usually paid are not sufficient
recompense for the outlay that has
been necessary to graduate from the
normal, and more lucrative positions
are sought for in the cities where bet
ter wages are paid.

OYSTERS

NEW MEANS OF SHIPPING WHERE
BY THE OYSTER COMES FRESH
FROM SALT WATER WITHOUT
ICE OR TREATMENT OF ANY
~KIND-WAsHED OYSTERS A
THING OF THE PAST.
The citizens of Bismarck, customers
of Chas. Kupitz, will be interested in
the new device adopted for the pack
ing and shipping of oysters direct from
Underwater to Bismarck without inter
mediate handling. The day of ice
water oysters has passed. 1t will now
be possible to procure the fresh, non
swollen article in Bismarck possessing
that delicate flavor peculiar to the
oyster when taken from the shell in
New York, Baltimore or Washington.
The new patent shipping case consists
of an inner can holding five gallons and
an outer case-the space between the
inner and outer case being filled with
ice. No ice or water comes in contact
with the oyster yet the oysters are
kept thoroughly chilled at all times.
Ice and ice water causes oysters to
swell and become tasteless and the
washing" en- route under the old pail
shipment destroys much of the orig
dnal" flavor that appeals to the con-
sumner. Under the new mode of ship
ment, the oyster when taken from the
inner air tight case, at it's destination,
is practically as good and as fresh as
when taken from the shell at the
Wharf Of the oyster smack. A trial of
these oysters is all that is necessary to
convince n of the superiority of oy-
stels shipped in the patent case to
chas. Kupitz direct from tidewater
over the ice water oysters secured
heretofore under the old method.

A remarkable case comes to light at
Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there

eating Electric Bitters. It exerts a
mighty power to expel ~biliousness,
