T% HE women are all talking about
 Peruna. Of course they are. Why A not? Peruua Is the remedy that rured them. If they have a cold, Peruna cures them. They found that out by eX- perience.
 If they are hoarse, or have cough. they find Peruna an unfailing remedy Weak lungs and even the first stages or consumption, Peruna promptly restores, and then there are host of women who have a slight Arrangement or the stoln- pch and digestive organs. All these de- arrangements are of a catarrhal nature rerIna comes to the rescue at once. very short course of Peruna is sufficient to put the stomach right and to make the assimilation of the food perfect
 But this is not all. This does not ex- actlv explain why the women especially are talking about Peruna. Men, the same as women, have found Peruna useful III the above mentioned ailments. The req son that Peruna Is such special taVor- 1te with women Is something more than all this.
 Women are subject to pelvic catarrh. This condition has been called all sorts of names and is often referred to under the general phase, female diseases Pe- Tuna cures these cases. Peruna cures them because it cures catarrh wherever located. The nature of most of these ail- ments is catarrhal.
 Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of the body. It is especially liable to at tack one or more organs of the female pelvis No wonder women talk about Pe- yuna. No wonder they think 1t is the greatest medicine in the world
 Mrs. NJ. F. Jones. of Burning Springs, Ky writes as follows:
 I've have been using Peruna for some time and have no hesitancy in recom- mendng 1t for the one thousand and one ailments of humanity. No family should ever be without 1t, for it is an unfailng use for colds, and it is an ex- cenent remedy to prevent and relieve croup.
 And to speak from a standpoint of experience, l can candidly say that it is the remedy for female weakness Gas am one of the many unfortunates in this respect) From a personal test and from the testimony of many others I shall not hesitate to recommend 1t, especially to all suffering women.
 "Peruna has gained full confidence and a permanent stay in our home. Mrs. M. F. Jones.
 Most women feel the need of tonic to counteract the facilitating effects of simmer weather. Peruna is such rem edy It cures all catarrhal conditions.

~ ATARRH usually begins as @ cola A in the head or throat, and ia. neg
 lected until it becomes clrEonic; then 1t begins to dawn on the victim that he has catarrh. Unless he is very foolish, indeed, he will not rest easy until the catarrh Is entirely cured. Thousands pay no attention to 1t until 1t is too late.
 If Perlna Is used the cold never be- comes chronic, and nence catarrh is pre- vented. But after catarrh has become thoroughly established Peruna will cure it. but 1t will take much longer. Even in cases where the catarrh has already attacked the lungs and the symptoms of consumption have shown themselves, Pe- runa will cure. A great many cases of genuine consumption have been cured with Peruna after the patient had been given up to die.
 George Youman, President of 6 promi- nent social club of New Orleans, writas from 2G9o Calliope Street, New Orleans. La,:
 Last winter while was travelling caught a heavy cold which settled on my lungs and then seemed eo affect my entire system. took no remedy think ing 1t would pass away, but it developed into most distressing catarrh, affecting my sight and hearing and found myself in such bad condition that was unable to sleep.

 Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming national curse. An undoubt- ed remedy has been discovered hy Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thor oughly tested during the past forty years. Peruna cures catarrh in all phases and stages. There Is no remedy that can be substituted

Catarrh Always a
 Dangerous Disease.

Miss Elizabeth Brown. 17os John St., Baltimore, Md, is a school teacher Of that place. She found Peruna of benefit to her, as a tonic, and in a recent letter says:
 TWO years ago, when my school closed I was so Jagged out that l could not sleep nights. Sleeplessness was most se- rious troube to me, and have fet ought rious trouble to me. and have felt rest, which could i'll afford.
 "one of the teachers told me that she had used Peruna for two years and had found it a wonderful tonic to build up the system, and so bought some. A complete change for the better took place within ten days. I could eat and sleep and felt like new woman. When school opened again I felt we'll and strong and well able to take up my work. ."-Eliza- beth Brown.
 Mrs. Nellie Gavins, 142 East 57th Street New York, writes:
 "I have had the best of results from the use of Peruna for a case of indiges- ton of long standing. My stomach had been weak ever since I was a child and the trouDle soon ueNelopeu iheo ihuSos ton. 1 had to be careful of everything I ate and soon I could eat nothing which did not distress my stomach. My friends advised Peruna and I purchased a bottle and commenced to use 1t, little thinking at the time that I was soon to be In per- feet health and rid of my stomach tdou- ble, but this actually occurred in three months treatment. Please accept my sincere thanks, for I am truly grateful to you."-Mrs. Nellie Gavins.

 '"The health of the poor of a large city is always a question of vital interest not only to the city officials, but to every citizen. It has been a source of much satisfaction to me to find that so large a number of working people in moderate circumstances have accepted Peruna as their family medicine. It has cured 8 large number of cases especially of ca tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach and building up the general health 1t can not fail but prove a help and blessing to any community where 1t is generally adopted and used. I have found 1t an honest, reliable remedy and am pleased to endorse it."-C. D. Taylor. Clerk Board of Health.

CATARRH OF THE HEAD OFTEN
 SPREADS TO OTHER ORGANS.

c. F. Willis. selectman of Studdington. Organizer and Worthy aPtriarch, Sons Organizer and Worthy Patriarch. Sons sonville, Fla, writes:
 '.As I have found Peruna an excellent remedy for catarrh of the head, with which I had been troubled for over three years. getting but slight relief from other remedies, do not hesitate to write you what I think of Peruna. Each new cold I contracted would add to the catarrhal trouble. until finally my head was ter ribly stopped up and I could not breathe through my nose. Peruna was recom- mended by friend, and a few doses con vinced me that 1t was alright and four bottles cured me. ."-C. F. Willis.

Miss Nellie Edwards, Niles, Mich. writes:
 ''Many and many time have I thank ed my lucky stars that I read one of your testimonials which seemed to fit my case exactly, stomach trouble, bad breath and soreness of the lungs. which seemed to hurt me every time I breathed. noticed that the first bottle of Peruna gave me wonderful appetite, and naturally l felt better. as what I ate seemed to agree with me, and each bottle I took seemed to help a weak part until finally I was restored to perfect health and that is something which I have not enjoyed for years before.
 "I have certainly every reason to be pleased with Peruna. Miss Nellie Ed wards.

 q find that Peruna is an excellent med icine, especially for catarrhal affections and all diseases leading to consumption. bronchial troubles or stomach troubles It also acts as a preventive and keeps the system In a healthy condition so that it easily throws off disease. It Is an excellent tonic and a great appetizer and as large number of those who have been using 1t speak very highly of its cura- tive powers. am satisfied that my opinion of 1t is correct and that it is deserving of high praise. ."-J.

Miss Carrie Stump. 2s4 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes.
 "Peruna is a most wonderful medicine for La Grippe, and the diseases which are attendant. Last winter I had the third attack of La Grippe and each time I grew weaker had violent headaches and weak stomach. I tried Peruna this last time and 1t was remarkable how soon I recovered, and have had clear head, my stomach has been good, my breath sweet and as far as I can see l am in perfect health.
 That Is what Peruna has done for me. and our family thinks there Is no medi- cine quite equal to Peruna. Miss Car rie Stump.

Catarrh is a systemic disease. curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis appears; then it is permanently cured.
 Hon. Mark H. Dunnell, National Hotel. Washington, D. C.. writes:
 Your Peruna being used by myself any many of my friends and acouaint- ances not only as a cure for catarrh, but also as an admirable tonic for physical recuperauon. l gladly recommend 1t to all persons requiring such remedies. "- Mark H. Dunnen.

Women Have Reason to Dread Catarrh as Their Worst Enemy. It Shrivels the Skin, Deranges Digestion, Produces Bad
 Breath and YellOwS the Teeth.

Miss Anna UIbrich, Floriston, Cal, P. o. Box 27, writes
 Tt is with great pleasure that I recom- mend Peruna to all who are overworked and so tired out that 1t seems an effort to draw a breath. This was my case and tried many physicians and many patent medicines and had about given up in despair when I was finally persuaded to try Peruna. I was assured that 1t would do me no harm, if it did no good, so gave it trial and was greatly aston ished at the benefit derived from one bot tie. It is needless to say that l got an- other and another and that l now feel like new woman. I would not be with out 1t and I can heartily recommend 1t to others. Miss Anna Ulbrich.

Miss T.. Howard 7Ss 14th Street. MiI- waukee, Wis, writes:
 ..I consider Peruna the most valuable medicinal curative ever invented It has cured more sick people than any medicine I know of. I used 1t for liver trouble with great success. It eliminated the poison and waste from the blood, stirred the liver into healthful activity and put new life into every nerve and fiber. l have a large number of friends who use Peruna and I know of none who ever had as good results from the doctors prescriptions as they mad from Peruna."

Farming in that country is done in
the western style plentifully mixed
with the methods brought in by the
Iowa farmers who are locating there.
Wheat, barley, fax, rye, oats, millet
and hay are the main crops. The wheat
is usually sowed In the spring, much
Of the plowing having been done in the
previous year. This is one of the main
money making crops for the North Da-
kota farmer.
Barley does well there and Is also
one Of the principal crops. Flax has
been very paying crop but the price
has recently declined until the acreage
Is also much smaller than formerly.
This crop is cut with . machine like
the old reaper or dropper, the grain
being dropped in piles instead Of being
bound in bundles. The fax straw was
generally burned as soon as the thresh-
ing machine left but there are now FAX
mills that care for great deal Of it

ing inexpensive.
Oats grow we'll there but at present
is raised only for home consumption,
the elevators not caring to buy it 50
long q they can get plenty of wheat,
max or barley.
The straw in North Dakota seems
especially adapted to Withstand the
winds which are nearly always in evi-
dence. In Iowa when the oats grows
rank, and high winds come, the farmer
has trouble with his harvest but in N.
Dakota the straw growsstiff and strong
enough to spring back to perpendicu-
lar again when the wind ceases.
Threshing is done by crews who do
their own cooking, farmers and their
wives thus being relieved of a very ar
duous part Of the years work. The
farmers must arrange for feed for the
horses and for wagons enough to take
the grain directly from the machine
to the elevator for there are very few
granaries.
There are two seasons when the
farmer must work. In the spring the
ground must be prepared and the grain

statement of the attitude of the
state papers is misleading, as the
majority of those that have ex-
pressed an opinion are in favor
Of the extra session. Still more
misleading Is the reference to the |
acceptance Of institution bonds
by bankers and their legalization
By the legislature. The CORE
spondent ought to know, and

to legalise institution bonds for q

past, borrow money and issue
certificates of Indebtedness and

that these certificates be taken
up. This has been done in the
past. The legislature responded
two years ago by authorizing the
issue of $2OO. 600 of bonds which
the board of school lands bought
and paid for out of the money in
the fund. A similar arrangement
was made by the legislature last
winter, and the result was the
recent decision by the supreme
court. Under that decision the

lature is powerless to validate any

pay out of the general fund such

In q decision handed down last
week Judge Fisk has declared IN,
constitutional the law which pro
vides that county com missioners
may levy u tax Of one-fifth Of q
mill for the aid of county agricul-
tur,l fairs, held by associations
that have been in existence three
years and held three successful
fairs.
It's claimed that such q law is
in. direct opposition to q section
Of the constitution, which pro.
hibits taxing for anything except
the natural county expenses and
the care of the poor and needy
citizens.
The case which reached the
Court, and winch resulted in this
decision came from Walsh coun-
ty. Two fairs are held in that
county, one at Park River and
the other at Mimic. The Park
River association asked the coun
ty to levy the tax for that fair
and it was done, amounting to
about 81, 800. The Minto people
brought the action to restrain the
payment ofthis amount, claiming
that the law was unconstitutional.
The decision Of Judge Fisk last
week follows the contention Of the
Mimic people and the officers Of
Walsh county are restrained from
extending the tax. The decision
will affect several counties in the
state that have either received or
expected to receive very shortly
aid from the levying Of the tax as
provided by the law passed in
1901.

Very little live stock Is raised except

shipping some black cattle from Iowa
and disposing Of them to Griggs cou,:-
ty farmers. But very little Of their
land Is fenced. Generally one field for
horse pasture and two or three milch

The prairies there only yield one good
crop Of hay in two years but good
quality Of roughness is cut from the
sloughs which in the spring are always
too vet to cultivate.
Joe Israel has . good l6O acre farm
adjoining Cooperstown on the north.
1t Is all In cultivation and has good

George Shepherd lived near Coopers-
town last winter but is now living
about six miles northeast Of town and
likes the North Dakota farming.
Richard Workman is nicely located
about one mile south Of town on good
farm and we'll improved. He also is
doing we'll and likes the country.
w. II. Roberts lives II miles west of
the town Of Cooper. There are no i'm
provements in his half section but he
rents $50 acres just across the road and
lives there in good farm house. He
has 100 acres Of wheat, 40 Of fax, 26o
Of barley, 90 Of oats and made 20 tons
Of hay. The Roberts family also enjoy
living in North Dakota, the climate
seeming to suit them and the busy
spirit Of the west having taken hold Of
them. They live in town In the win
ter and move to the farm in the spring.
Benz. Vance and Wilkin Roberts Of
KeosauQua recently went to North
Dakota and they see many amusing
things. Mr.. Vance hunted for at least
an hour trying to find corn cob and
finally whitfield a jug stopper out Of a
piece Of pine. They find no shade in
which to rest unless under q roof, and
no fence on which to sit except fence
Of wire. There are no fields of waving
corn, few hogs to feed or chores to do
Except to care for horses, and there are
many things strange looking to the
man from Iowa.

Opposition to an extra session
Of the legislature is growing
stronger all the time. It is said
that the governor does not intend
to call the extra session until De-
cember. IF this is the case it will
be . mighty dangerous business
for the finances of the state. As
the governor will have no power
10 limit the time Of the extra ses-
sion the solons could make an all
winters job Of the extra session
and night also pass z lot Of fool
legislation that is not needed. A
North Dakota legislature is q poor
thing to monkey with as well as
very expensive. In our opinion
Il will take considerable more
than &c, 600 to pay for an extra
session. This paper is against
any such deal If there is any
possible way to get out oft. The
tax payers have about all the tax
alton they can stand now without
piling it on thicker by extra SEES
sions. The only way to cut down
expenses on an extra session is
to call it now when every body is
busy then the members would be
glad to get through and 20 back
to their farms.
