STEPPED AGAINST A HOT STOVE.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was in
great agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remembering
that she had bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm in the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks was
well. Mrs. Benson is we'll known resi-
dent of Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic liniment and especially valu-
able for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR GROUP.

From the Atchison, Kan, Daily Gtobe.J
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost in
case of burglars. There used to be an
old-fashioned remedy for Group, known
as hive syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to "throw
up the phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in a shorter time. Give this remedy
as soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale

Prosperous Conditions.


The farmers have been delight
ed with the weather for the past
two months, and have been tax
ing advantage of it. More plow-
ing for next spring has been done
in this county than ever before
and the acreage OF crops put in
next spring will be the largest in
the history OF Ward county.
Debts are being paid off in the
county at the rate OF thousands
of dollars daily. Every farmer
has money. If he was not for
tunate enough to put in a crop
the past season, he has had no
trouble in getting more work
than he could possibly do. Go
into any small town in the county
and see the work that is being
done. North Dakota is the best
state in the whole Union and all
that is needed to convince the
most skeptical is a trip here.
Come to North Dakota and grow
up with the country.

Two desperate characters who
were drunk and begging money
from people on the street were
arrested Friday night by Officer
Kimball and lodged in the eity
jail. Judge Murray Saturday
morning gave them ten dollars
fine each or ten days in jail. They
had no money SO were lpmanded
to the jal for ten days. A short
time afterwards, one of their
comrades ON the outside OF the
jail, pried open the window and
threw in. an axe. The prisoners
knocked out the vest end OF the
jail and went out through the
room occupied by thefire depart
ment and have not been seen
since. AinOt needs a now jo1

John says the new farmers are

seventeen years, engaged in the

The 500 officials spent Satsr-
day in this city and met David
Lloyd, owner Of the Burlington
coal mine. Mr.. Lloyd has had
much trouble securing coal ears
and the officials say they will try
to do better. There simply has
been a car famine, and it has
been impossible to furnish all the
cars that were needed. The Of
ficials say that they will order
100 Glendolas, or fiat cars with
sides. especially for coal to be
used by the mines Of this county,
but the cars will not be in resadi-
ness before next year.

Nearly every line of business is
we'll represented here, but we
need some good factory here.
Coal in unlimited quantities may
be secured within four miles OF
town. Some day someone will
be smart enough to put in a
factory of some description.
Our business men have no rea-
son to- complain. One general
merchant reports that he took
in one thousand dollars last
Saturday and says he often does
as we'll on Saturdays. On sever
al other days he took in seven
hundred dollars.
The Minot mill has been max
ing a fine record. The mill start
ed in a week Sunday night at
twelve O'Clock and ran until
twelve O'Clock the next Saturday
might with only one hour s stop.
The mill is turning out more
than $50 barrels daily and buys
but very little grain, except from
the farmers of Ward county, or
those driving to Thus city with
the grain.
The schools Indicate a great
growth in population and 70.
Gently the school was placed on
the first class list and will com.
pare with any school in the
state. Prof. Wolfe has brought
it to q high grade of excellence.
Prof. Lowe is making a fine
record with the ninot Business
College. He started this insti,
tuition not knowing whether il
would pay or not He has been
rewarded. The building is be
coming more crowded daily and
It will soon be necessary for him
to move into larger quarters.
We might continue lauding the
greatness of ninot for hours but
space will not permit. We who
live here know that We have the
best city in the state without an
exception. Fargo and Grand
Forks are a little larger but We
do more business. Our streets
are more crowded, and the pe0-
pie move around livelier.
We predict that Ainot will be
q city of 10000 inhabitants in
+ ten years and would not be sur.
prised to zee it a great deal
larger.

Minot is an excellent point at
which to dispose Of produce. If
one wants to raise poultry exclus-
lively, hecan always find a ready
market for his eggs at from fiji
teen cents a adozen in the summer
to thirty and thirty-five cents in
the winter. He can raise his own
grain, SO the cost of feeding the
poultry will not amount to a
great deal. Should he choose to
raise the larger va rieties OF chick
ems. he can always sell them live

pound. The gardeners can al
ways sell their cabbage potatoes
and other vegetables for good
prices, and no finer vegetables
are grown in tee world than right
here in the Mouse river valley

ways bring q big price. The

Psychological Autographs.

Every human being carries with him
from his cradle to his grave certain
physical marks which do not change
their character and by which he can
always be identified, and that without
shade Of doubt or question. These
marks are his signature, his physiolog-
ical autograph, SO to speak, and this
autograph canno be counterfeited, nor
tan lie disguise it oil hide 1t away, nor
can it become illegible by the wear ana
the mutations of time.
This autograph consists of the deli
cate lines or c%orrugations with which
nature marks the insides ofNthe hands
and the soles of the feet. If you will
look at the balls of your fingers, you
that have very sharp eyesight, you will
observe that these dainty curving lines
lie close together, like those that indi-
cate the borders of oceans in maps and
that they form various clearly defined
patterns, such as arches. circles, long
curves, whorls and SO forth, and hat
these patterns differ on the different

pose a glass ceiling is. however. not
unique, and the Observation-Disclosures Of

A Tender

In connection with a slight affec.
ton of Mrs. Ulysses S. Grants eyes a
very pretty story is told indicative Of
General Grants tender devotion to her.
When he was president, she became
somewhat sensitive about her eyes
she suffered from strabismus-and con-
suited a specialist to see what could be
done for her. The specialist told her
he thought he could improve her eyes,
but the operation would be painful.
She consulted her husband to learn
whether he would advise the operation.
Don't have it done, dear" said the
general, pressing her cheeks With his
two hands. Let those dear eyes stay
just as they are. If they were changed,
l might not recognize my sweetheart"
