Jamestawn Alert: Captain |. P. Baker
of Bismarck was a west-bound passen-
ger today. He was enthusiastic over the
outlook for the Missouri Slope country
and predicts that the extension of the
Milwaukee road to Linton and the COM
pletion of the 500 to Bismarck will make
a great boom for this part Of the state in
the stock business. Those roads will be
able to haul CRASHED cattle to Iowa for
finishing on corn, and give shippers adj
vantages that they have v had be-
fore. Iowa will be 200 miles nearer
North Dakota than ever before in a
transportation way. He thinks it will
result in all grass range being taken up
and used in a comparatively short time,
and will result in a reduction in rates
also. The Iowa farmer, who has $50
land, can afford to buy a quarter or half
section of cheap North Dakota land for
his young stock. Capt. Baker believes
that the further extension of the roads
from the south will be only a matter Of
short time, and that the Milwaukee will
move out from Edgerly to get its share
of the business that is bound to come to
the grass plains Of this part of the state.

GOLD.

Few persons know that the gold used
in color printing and on picture frames
is made from a composition powder Of
bronze and spelter and not from pure
gold leaf, but which, however, gives the
same effect. There is another article
that is very much initiated, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach bitters. Spurious
dealers often refill the bottles, and thus
give them the same appearance as the
original, but unless they have our
Private Stamp unbroken over the neck
they are not genuine. Refuse all such
limitations. The genuine Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs has an unequalled rec
ord of cures of stomach complaints back
of it, such as dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, billiousness, nervousness,
insomnia and malaria, fever and ague.

Why We Shake Hands.

To shake hands with a person is
rightly regarded as a token Of amity.
but very few know how this custom
arose.
According to a French ethnologist,
whenever two men met in former times
they were accustomed to hold up their
right hands in front Of them as a sign
that they had no intention Of attack
ing each other. This mark Of conf
dence, however, did not prove sufficient
in all cases, for a man may hold up his
right hand and yet, If he keeps it
closed, may have a weapon concealed
in it, and therefore it became the GUS
tom for the two right hands to grasp
each other, as only thus could full as
surance be given that no weapon was
concealed in either of them. Formerly,
therefore, this gesture, now the token
Of loyalty and friendship, was n of
reciprocal distrust-New York Herald.

A Story of Mark Twain,

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as a humorous lecturer, he
one day arranged with a woman &C
Quaintance that she should sit in a box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started off so we'll that he did not need
any such help, however, for he caught
the audience from the first. By and
by, when not saying anything worthy
Of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache, and his anxious ally
in the box at once broke into furious
applause. Mark was oil but broken up
by the misadventure, and EVER after
ward carefully avoided employing
such help to success.

Confessed Murderer.
Believed to Be the Man Who Killed Frank
liSh'S Brother In St. Louis Last Year.

llSh'S Brother In st. louis Last Year.
A telegram from Colchester, England,
says that the Lance Corporal Lloyd, Of
the Bedford regiment, has confessed to
the murder of an unknown man at Kan
sas City, Mo-, last January. Frank Lish
of this city, who has been keeping a close
tab on all murder reports, believes this
to be the man who murdered his brother,
Pete, in St. Louis last December. Mr..
Lish says no man was killed in Kansas
City in the manner described at that
time, but that this was the manner in
which his brother was killed a few days
before the date given, in St. Louis MI.
Lish has taken the matter up with the
police authorities.
The dispatch further says
Lloyd, who claims to be an American
citizen, in his confession to the police,
said his real name was William G. B. c.
Toll of 2I2 East Seventeeth street, Kan.
sas City; that he was married, and that
he had formerly served in the United
States army, from which he deserted
The prisoner further asserted that he
did not know the name of the man he
had killed. His object was robbery, anc
he had knocked the man on the heac
with a coupling pin"

Out Of One q

Many years ago before the days Of
railroads a nobleman and his wife,
with their infant, were travelling
across Salisbury plain. AS the story is
told In Mr.. A. P. Russelps character
~istics," they were overtaken by a Sc
we're storm and took refuge in a lone
shepherds hut.
The child had taken cold before they
could find shelter and the nurse began
at once to undress it by the warm
cottage fire. AS she pulled off one
rich silken garment after another the
shepherd and his wife looked on in
awed silence.
At last the process of undressing was
completed and the little naked baby
was being warmed by the fire. There
it sat, with all its splendid outer husks
peeled of, it's little body beginning to
glow in the hut by the fire. The shep-
herd drew a long breath and exclaimed,
'sWhy it's Just like one Of ours"

SCHOOL NOTES..

The public schools open with an en-
rollment of 37S.
Miss Couture reported an enrolment
of 81 Thursday morning and all present.
The High school starts out with an en-
rollment of %, the entering class num-
bering 10. Half Of this number, at least,
should be graduated in 1906 from a
course of study that will admit them to
our colleges or State university.
Parents are requested to cooperate as
much as possible with the teacher. Do
not censure without investigation. Each
teacher has an average Of over 40 chill
dren under her care. She must do what
is the best for the whole class, not what
would suit the individual.
We hope to make this the most sue
cessful school year Dickinson has ever
had. Parents and patrons should give
the teacher and pupils encouragement
by keeping in close touch with their
methods and work. Visitors will always
receive a hearty welcome.

Why He Wasn't IMPRESSED,

The following story is told of a gar.
rulous victim Of the Johnstown food
Of 1889, who when he reached paradise
assembled a cloud that served within
the pearly gates as a rostrum and un.
dertook to thrill his new made &C.
qu%aintances among the shades with an
account Of the disaster through which
he had passed. He was interrupted
by a gray bearded old man in the
group. "a mere bucketful-a mere
bucketful" the old fellow piped.
"Don't waste so much time talking Of
a small affair like that"
The Johnstown mar resented this
and hunted up st. Peter. of whom he
asked, "Who is that old codger who
seems to think our flood such a trifing
natter" "
"That?" said st. Peter. "Why, that's

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When the tube gets inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca.
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Mendinx Umbrellas.

Sometimes an umbrella that begins
to show tiny cracks and pinholes may
be mended at home. Open the UNI
brella and hold it up to the light. Mend
the holes on the inside with black silk
co%urtplaster cut slightly larger than
the holes. Sun umbrellas and parasols
are more effectively mended in this
way than umbrellas, which sometimes
require a repetition of the mendlng
after being thoroughly wet.
