STATE MILITIA tNCAMPMfNI
MILITIA BOYS ARE KEPT BUSY
AT DEVILS
LAKE.

Devils Lake, June 3O.-The special
from jamestown bearing A, X, H, G,
and NJ, from Bismarck, Dickinson,
jamestown, Valley City and Ellen
dale, and the band and Battery A
from Lisbon reached Oberon when
the sun was at meridian height and
the toilsome march of l3 miles to
Fort Totten was Immediately COM
menced under Col. A. P. Peake. A.
ter reaching Fort Totten the troops
crossed Devils Lake on the Minnie
H and the Rock Island, and the
fresh breezes revived the tired men
after their weary climb over the
hills.
The day was exceedingly hot, the
fine dust filed the air and the soft
yielding sand furnished a very poor
footing for the infantry. These Cir
cumstances combined to make the
march of the columns very fatiguing
but the men stood jtrwel and arrived
at camp fairly fresh and quite cheer
full, though very dirty and reasonably
hungry.
This practice march reminded
Eighth corps veterans of many a weary
''hike" in far away Luzon and started
a flow of stories Of most wonderful
achievements for the benefit of the
''rookies". who were entertained far
into the night with stories OF charges,
marches, captures and miraculous
escapes-which never happened and
never will.
Whatever of novelty there might
have been in the life of the soldier in
going into camp has now worn of.
A few days diverse experience such
as the men have had have sufficed tC
give the men taste of what army
life is. They have discovered that it
is not even under the most favorable
circumstances, life where much
time is passed in doing nothing but
that it is most strenuous life.
The Eighth corps fellows like to sex
Sergeant ''Bi'7 Hotchkiss wearing
shoulder straps.
There are rumors of lots Of kicks
against marching back and some say
a return march will finish the militia
career. Half way over the water
supply gave out and sloughs had tc
be drawn on until supply was sent
back from Ft. Totten. 1t was p.
m. before the marchers struck camp
and IL before the tents were up and
the men dropped of to sleep on the
bare ground-the first comers took
all the straw-and in fact most every.
thing not nailed down, but we are
now settling down to comfort.

CANCELLATION DENIED.
But Property May Be Redeemed Be-
fore the 25th Instant.

G. G. Lancaster, as agent and attorney
for Mrs. Fannie w. Randall Of Philadelphia,
has written to the District Commissioners
acknowledging receipt Of notice from the
assessors Office to the effect that piece
of property belonging to Mrs. Randall has
been bid upon at private sale for delinquent
taxes and that a deed in the name of c. H.
Witsie is ready for delivery unless there
shall be a redemption before the 25th in
slant. Mr.. Lancaster says he Is sure his
client has never received a notice of the I'M
paid taxes Of 1886 and 1887. He says he ap-
piled to the collector Of taxes in 1902 for
bills against the property and there was no
mention of arrearages. Finally he asks per-
mission to redeem the property upon pay
ment Of the back taxes and per cent in
terest.
Mr.. H. H. Darneille, the assessor, has re-
ported to the Commissioners that an tnveS-
tigation of the records develops no facts
upon which recommendation for remission
Of interest on the taxes could be based.
THE owner" he says, received the same
notice as to arrears that was given to all
property owners, although she claims not
to have known of these taxes until recent
erty is examined, there will be found upon
1t notice printed with a rubber stamp to
the effect that the property was in arrears
for taxes. In view of these facts l cannot
consistently recommend a cancellation Of
the deed or remission of interest The deed
not having been executed, the property may
be redeemed from sale by the payment to
the collector Of taxes before the 25th instant

TOTHE EDITOR
OF t III e PO ST,

1t is doubtful If any ever evinced such con-
fdence in his remedies as Prof. Munyon. He does
not leave any room for doubt. He does not ask
the public to buy his medicines faith. He
openly invites the closest investigation. He says
to the public: Here remedies which claim
will relieve and cure certain diseases. do not
ask you to buy them. Here they are. Help your
self. All welcome. After you have tested
them send in your experience to any leading news
paper, that the same may be published to the
world
Prof. Munyon believes that the same guarantee
should go with every vial Of medicine that goes
with yard of cloth or a pound Of sugar In
other words, he says that when man offers to sell
a cure, it should CURE just as certainly as when
a lady purchases a yard of silk she receives silk
and not cotton He says there is nothing the
people have been much humbugged in as med
icine. He does not claim to be a follower OF any
particular school of medicine He is not prejudic-
ed In favor Of against any one path" He
does not believe that a drop of medicine In
bucket of water is a cure-all.
Nor does he believe that a person should swallow
large quantities of powerful drugs to relieve suffer-
ing. He has steered clear Of all fanatical teach.
ings, and has selected the best In all systems OF
medicine. That his position is correct Is attested
by the enormous sale Of his remedies throughout
the United States There is probably not town
from Maine to Oregon where the MunyOn remedies
are not extensively used.
Some ten years ago, when the Post made a free
distribution Of his rheumatism Cure, more than
1900 people notified the editor of this paper that
they had been cured of Rheumatism by Munyon's
Rheumatism Cure Later on distribution was
made from his office, 1906 Arch street, of his
Dyspepsia Cure, and again the papers were flooded
Wi fQati mo nip1c from yyhn had C.lrQsl
themselves by this remedy. The Philadelphia In
quirer is now engaged in interviewing those who
have received trial walls Of Munyon's rheumatism
Cure, Of which a free distribution recently
made from the office of that paper. and some Of
the most remarkable testimonials have already
been secured.
The free distribution which begins this morning
at the Post trust will prove that Munyon's
Rheumatism Cure is eficacious and infalibe
as his other remedies have proven to be. The
Post cordially invites all persons who afflicted
with Rheumatism to secure a vial Of this remedy,
and thus aid the Post In this Investigation. This
is a matter that should interest the whole public,
and we earnestly ask the cooperation OF all.

APOSTLE sMooT COMING EAST.
Senator-Elec From Utah Will Present
His Credentials.

A special to the New York Times from
Salt Lake City says:
Apostle Smoot. senator-elect from Utah,
will leave for Washington in two or three
days to present his credentials. AS soon as
he does this. 1t is expected that the war;
fare over seating him will begin in earnest
Officials of the Mormon Church are now
confident that Smoot will be seated.
Among the charges that will be made
against Smoot before the Senate committee
on privileges and elections will be that, If
not himself polygamist, he has encour-
aged the practice and conniyed at it. It Is
said 1t will be shown that President Joseph
F. Smith Is still living in polygamy and
that Smoot is under the absolute control so
far as his vote and influence are concerned,
of President Smith. Emissaries of the
church have been circulating a petition
among politicians. Office holders and others
asking the Senate to seat Smoot. Each
man who has shown any hesitancy about
signing has been warned that refusal means
his political death. In this way the sigma
lures Of a number of nom Mormons have
been obtained.
