Letters from
WOmen,

Cured by the use Of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
10 your body. it is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics OF the food into blood. That is
Indigestion. The system is deprived OF the
amount of nourishment required TO keep up
the strength. and the result is that one or
more OF the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The
best doctors in the land make this very
mistake. Why should they 1t is SO easy

Mr.. Chas. F. Thompson, Of this city,
will be united in marriage to Mary
Antoinette Robertson, Wednesday
evening, Dec. 10th, at Lone Cedar, Ar
rington, Va. Both Mr.. Thompson and
his bride-elect are natives of this place
but have not made their homes here
for a number of years.
Mr.. Thompson is a young man of
extraordinary ability and equipment.
He is self-made in the fullest sense of
tie term. His early training and edu-
cation was about such as boys in that
place received twenty-five years ago.
There was plenty of hard work on
the farm, while the facilities for edu-
cation were very meager. Young
Thompson left home at the age of
seventeen with a determination to buy
a home for his mother and father who
then had large family Of small child
rem, he being the oldest. The times
were so hard that his father moved
from farm to farm almost every year
renting from tyrant land owners who
frequently requested him to move on
account Of his insistance upon what
was due him and his unfiinching and
determined political aggressiVeness
during the election time.
Young Thompson came to Graham
Bell, the great inventor, in 'S7 as a
man OF all work and at very small
wages on trial. His services gave such
satisfaction that the Bell family had
him accompany them to Eastern Can
ada and the Provinces. In '89 he made
tour with them to Southern Italy
via Gibralter, in 81 to France for six
months, in '95 to the Hawaiian Islands
Japan and the East. AS the inventor
Of the Bell telephone and other inven-
lions, Mr.. Bell in '98 travelled through
Norway, Denmark, Sweden. Holland
Berlin and to the Paris Exposition IN
1900 and in Sicily in 1901. During
this time Mr.. Thompson was the valet
and looked after the personal comforts
OF Mr.. Bell and his family. At this
time he has entire charge Of the house
hold. During these years Of travel Mr..
thompson practiced every plan of
economy and succeeded in buying a
comfortable home, with large premises
for the old folks. He is still in Mr..
Bells service and is now planning for
a home for himself and bride.

THE GRAIN HARVEST.
All Hands Seem to Be Getting
Bumper Crops.

All Hands Seem to Be Getting
Bumper Crops.
The grain harvest is on in good
earnest down in the reservation
country and all hands are getting a
bumper crop. Binders are also
running on Camas prairie, and the
demand for harvest hands far ex-
ceeds the supply. The crops were
never better, and we expect to
chronicle some prodigious yields
later in the season when the
threshers get to work. The soil
and climatic conditions are no bet
ter now than they have been at
any time in the past. The differ
ence is accounted for in the fact
that the old slovenly methods OF
farming are giving way to more
economical measures and closer
cultivation of the soil. The secre-
tary of agriculture was out west
last spring and tried to make the
people believe that summer fallow-
ing exhausted and impoverished
the soil, but we apprehend he did
not make many converts, as sum-
mer following has been tried and
proved successful too many times
all through the west to have it set
aside by the say-so Of theorist.

Fred S. Wyatt, of the Green
creek country, was in town Satur-
day and took occasion to announce
himself as candidate for sheriff
on the democratic ticket. The res
ervation precincts think they have
been overlooked in the past in the
distribution Of the pie, and it is
likely that Mr.. Wyatt will come to
the convention with a strong fol-
lowing from that section.
A. j. Turner, the popular con-
tractor of this city, is receiving a
hearty support from his many
friends throughout the county for
the Office of sheriff. The report
that he is q candidate for assessor
is erroneous and it was only at the
urgent request of his friends that
he consented to allow his name to
be used for the sheriff's Office.
