A farmer told us a pretty good
story the other day about a friend
who had recently come to North
Dakota. The gentlem an was from
one of the hill regions Of the east
where the roads can only be made
along the streams, where wheat is cut
with a sickle resemblig those used by
women about the flower bed, where
the plows are made so that the share
can be turned and -he old furrow
retraced along the hillside, and
where the upper horse often falls over
the top of the other one while pulling
the pillow, and had laughed at the
greatness of the new country. He
drove to a hay slough shortly after
his arrival for the purpose of cutting
the hay. He unhitched his team
from the wagon and after working
till nearly noon, concluded ne would
drive to his wagon. In attempting
to do so, he got lost and. spent the
entire afternoon in a vain search for
the wagon. He had cut more grass
in the half day than he could have
done in three or four days on his
eastern farm, and this got him so
far from his starting point that he
was lost in getting to it.
"How is the street fair coming on
asked one Of the enterprising citizens
of the city as he put his head in our
door the other morning. 81 will have
the subscription, and, can tell them
how to get it started continued he,
eff they want to make it go. I have
had considerable experience in those
things and am ready to do my part"
When the Union army was hopeless
ly defeated before Rlchmond-though
some people say it was never defeated
President Lincoln said when the
occasion arises there is always found
a man to fill 1T. Just so in this in
stance. It may be a little late to
get in shape for a street fair, but
the very man has been found who could
make the thing a blooming success.
The people can do almost anything
when they have a leader and deter.
mine to do so.
We saw one Of the celebrated five
dollar bills issued oy the State Bank
of New Brunswick, New Jersey, that
have been passed in this state as
counterfeit, the other day. They need
not fool anyone, as it is we'll known
that State Banks are not authorized
to issue money in these days of Re-
publican manipulation Of the fnan-
cial end of the banking system. The
words State Bank of New Brunswick
are printed across the face as plain as

A large number of the patrons Of
the weekly Inter Ocean are of the
opinion that they receive all the mat
ter of the several Issues of the Daily
edition in a lump in the weekly The
management desires to state that this
is an error. While the weekly is made
up. as all weekiles are Were there is
a daily issue, of matter taken from
the daily edition, all the interesting
matter is not used. This is true of
the knockabout notes written by Gath,
many Of his best street stories and PEI
culiar things seen, being crowded
from the weekly. The same is true
Of the editorial department.. The
Inter Ocean is receiving inquiries
every week asking that these editorials
be printed for a number of papers
throughout the state in the form of
patents. Many of our subscribers are
missing some of the best Of those be-

How Coal Was First Named

Curiously. the word coal was in use
long before as well as long after the
commencement of the coal trade, With
3 meaning quite different from that
which it now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
aH particular to wood which had been
&ilarred, or what is now called char
eoai.
When the .rade in mineral coal be-
gap, this was usually distinguished by
the singular name of sea coal. 1t
you'd that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea-
shore. more especially of Northumber-
land, along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance was supposed to be
of marine origin. From this circum-
stance and its resemblance to wood
coal in color and burning properties it
shteined the name Of sea coal, by
which it was SO long and so widely
known. Then in the course of true,
as the new fuel gained upon and su.
perseded the old. the simple name of
eoal became universally transferred

CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
nd of this poisonous acid which produces the
mutations. pains, agonieS, intlammations, and
dwellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
rcedicinc tliat prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. painc's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating polsons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use Of Palne's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months OF suffering. Mr.. 5. D. Conway,

TIE STAND-TOGETHER PLAN
Huron World Can Now See How
Mitchell AccOmpllshes What
She Undertakes.

Huron Journal World: In a per-
sonal letter to the editor Of this pa
per II n. II. l.. Bras, chairman Of
the executive committee of the city
of Mitchell gives an insight into the
way Mitchell does things, a portion
OF his letter reading as follows:
cit is our purpose to hold another
corn palace next year on a more eX-
tensive scale and we trust that you
can see your way tC be with us an
other wear. Our peopl. have always
strIven to place the corn palace idea
on a very high plane. We have the
resources and development, and we
sacrificed personal comforts to spend
their pioneer days in South Dakota
with their children are entitled to
enjoy the highest standard Of enter
tainment. We trust the good people
OF South Dakota Will not think our
corn palaces now are gotten up for
mcrcenaIy motives, as would natur-
ally be inferred on account Of our
being Il candidate for the state cap
ital, but when | call your attention
that this is the fifth corn palace and
that Our citizens each year spend
from S., 600 to Sc, 0CO without any d.
rect returns in dividends, you will
then see that this year and next year
we are only carrying out our original
IDEA that Mitchell is the center of
the corn belt and a worthy city to
advertise the agricultural resources
Of our state"
The quotations. somewhat lengthy
but it shows the way the plucky lit
tie town to the south of US does
things Would Huron and her citi-
zens spend four to six thousand dol
lars a year for corn palace or anything
that would tend to advertise the
town n call peoples attention to
it? No, not unless they were very
sure that they would get back every
panny-and then they would kick be-
cause they did not get back more
than they put in. Why is it Mitchell
VS.. Pierre instead Of Huron VS.. Pierre
in this capital fight: Simply because
the people Of Mitchell stand together
and work for the good of their town
as II man, while the people Of Hur-
on are each one afraid that the other
fellow will make a few paltry dollars
more than he. Four to six thousand
dollars a year spent in advertising the
town. The idea is prepusterous. If
a proposition to spend four or six
hundred dollars advertising the town
was made to the residents Of Huron
nearly every man would fall in a dead
faint, Four or six thousand dollars !
The people of Mitchell surely must
be crazy.
