King Cotton.

Tho exports Of domestic products IN
November were heavier than tn any cor
responding month ON record amounting
III value to s1o5, s26,2o2, M Increase OF
4,so3, 454, as compared with November.
1909. This enormous gain was due almost
entirely to tho Increase IN cotton exports.
which amounted in vnluo to seventy mil
lion dollars. A
The effect Of these enormous exports,
says tho New York Tribune, has been
TO wipe out our foreign indebtedness,
which year ngo was estimated at about
s3c0, 100000. Hence It is that gold has
been coming in from Europe, and. on
tho present movement we have imported
III yellow metal IN aggregate OF nearly
$40, 600 900. In the meantime our I'M
rorts Of merchandise have fallen Off.
'Wo are exporting very heavily and buy
Ing fewer goods from foreigners, which
means that the balance Of trade in our
favor Is growing all the time For TINS
we have to thank the farmer. Agricul-
ture lies at the basis Of our prosperity.

Another Trust.

Minot Optic: There was an i'm
portant meeting held in the parlors
of the Minot National bank The pur-
pose of the meeting was t secure
unity of action by all the producing
coal mines of the district.
AS near as can be learned the meet
ing was not called for the lowering or
raising the price of coal at the mines,
but rather for the purpose of providing
by which the price Of coal
could be kept at the present prices.
The deal is to effect a dispenser of coal
whose Office shall be in Minot and he
act as agent for all the mines in the
district.

Former Senator Pettigrew Of South
Dakota does not seem to have over
come his old time antagOnism to
Grover Cleveland, and in the New
York Tribune recently appeared the
following:
Ex-United States Senator Pettigrew
of South Dakota is too busy attending
to important personal interests to give
much time to politics or statecraft-
but he maintains a lively interest in
current affairs. Seen at the Neither
land, which he makes his home when
in the city, he said in response to in
quiry: THE people of South Dakota
have not direct financial interest in the
eccentricities of the stock market, but
they fail to understand why New York
should be turned into a huge gambling
house. And while they are entirely
unaffected at this time by the specu-
lative operations in Wall street, they
deplore the conditions that TO- obtain
and realize that their influence may
be broadly hurtful in their ultimate re-
suits. Crops in South Dakota are gen.
orally good and business conditions
are satisfactory. and I presume that
as long as prosperity continues South
Dakota will be republican. The demo-
Gratis of South Dakota are not discus
sing names as to the candidates for
the presidential nomination, but hope
some one can be nominated whose
record they car approve. The one
man for whom, however, they would
not vote is Grover Cleveland. II he
might be nominated, the most ordin-
airy and unfit specimen may aspire.

President.

st. Paul Railroad Men Believe J. D.
Farrell Will Be Selected as N. p.
President.
Pioneer Press: There are a dozen
prominent st. Paul railway officials
possessing very reliable sources of in
formation, who believed yesterday
that they could name the new presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific. Their
judgment is that j. D. Farrell, assist
ant to President James ]. Hill on the
Pacific coast, will be the man elected
by the board to succeed President
Charles S. Mellen, who on Oct. 81 will
be elected president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford.
Those that predict Mr.. Farrell's Sc
lection say he is the most available
man that has been mentioned. His
executive ability is acknowledged and
his experience in the west and north
west has been remarkable, consider
ing his age and the length of his rail
way service.
Mr.. Farrell is a comparatively young
man, being but forty-seven years of
age, and he has risen through every
grade of railway service to his present
post, which involves much executive
work and demands experience and
ability to handle difficult situations.

the experience Of Mrs. Fred Chalkcr of this

Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great

nothing that would relieve her. The pain
kept on in spite Of all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the story OF
another lady who had suffered with the
backache, and said she had been cured by a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs,
Chalker thought she would try the same
thing.
After the first two boxes had been taken

some better, and she kept on till at last she
was cured.
