Minneapolis journal: 1t is dread
full the way this great nation, this
land of the free, is descending into
the depths of militarism. Another
fateful step in that direction was
taken Saturday when Secretary Root
gave instructions to reduce the army
another 10, 1000 men. just think of
the awful burden this country is
carrying. With w, ooo,o 900 of people
in the United States proper and
about 10, 900, 900 elsewhere it is now
supporting an army of $1,000 men.
Can this nation, though it is the
wealthiest in the world, stand the
expenses How much longer can it
struggle along9 Oh, for those good
old days when, with a population OF
100000, we had an army OF only
10000!
They have gone, gone with the
pristine virture and the halcyon
early days of the republic, when all
men were honest, all women
virtuous and even army contractors
were patriots. Then there was one
soldier to every thousand people
Now there is one soldier to every
LOO people.

A "SNIDE" GAME.

The Sioux Falls and ..LeMa1s ball
teams played an exhibition game
here Tuesday afternoon. Our citi-
zens were very much disappointed
in the quality Of the game put up
it could be properly termed a
''snide" game or played horse to
get their money. The score was II
to in favor of Sioux Falls, who
gave better satisfaction in their
work than LeMars, who acted like
school kids endeavoring to sec how
foolish they could be. The second
baseman of the LeMars scarcely
made an attempt to play ball, and
after being roasted by the spectators
was put out in the field where he
turned his back on the ball and
let it bound against him. The
promoters of the game would have
been justified in not paying this
team their proportion OF the guar
antee. The Sioux Falls done better
and had LeMars made any pretense
of playing the Canaries would have
played sqaure game. The receipts
werer a dollar and a quarter above
the guarantee $65. Many did not
go to the ground on account of the
threatening weather.
An effort will be made to secure a
schedule game here between Sioux
Falls and the Flandreau Indians
or some other league team and it is
hoped that our new fair grounds
will be in shape by that time and
better Accommodations afforded
spectators.

DEAD FOR FIVE YEARS.
w. H. Rae, of Fargo, Startles
the Physicians of the World,
Comes to Life Alter Five years.

Comes to Life Alter Five years.
Fargo, ND, March12.-The most
remarkable case ever brought before
medical men is that of W. n. Rae,
of this city, who was supposed to be
dead to the world, but who is now
sound mentally and as healthy as
any man could be.
MIR. Rae suffered many years with
stomach troubles. He suffered
greatly from biliousness and habit
ual constipation. We visited many
physicians and spent hundreds of
dollars without any beneficial re-
suits. AS time passed he grew
weaker and lost so much in weight
that his friends hardly knew him.
He was slowly dying; in fact, he
was then dead to the world and all
his friends. AS last resort he
went to a noted New York specialist
who prescribed for him remedy
which is known for it's famous cures
of all stomach and bowel complaints.
This remedy, which is Cascarine,
cured Mr.. Bae, and he is now a we'll
man, after five years Of horrible
suffering. "
"Cascarine, says Mr.. Rae, 'sie
wonderful. It cured me in a short
time, when pills and those cheap and
nasty tablets made me worse. I am
read y at any time to tell anyone
about my cure, if they will write
me-" If you write Mr.. Bae inclose
stamped envelope for reply. =
Cascarinei salaxatlve and does
not gripe. It is easy to take and
will not injure the most delicate
stomch. Cascarine is not new
remedy, but has been prescribed
by the most procurement physicians
for the past ten years. Cascarnie
is you very best alaxtive. Every
home should have a bottle near at
hand, and every mother and father
should see that the children are
given no other laxative. Cascarine
sells for so cents per bottle at all
druggists. If your druggist hasn't
it, tell him to get it for you. =
