INAUGURAL Ball,

The inaugural ball to be given Friday,
January 9, at the state capitol, to herald
the Inauguration of the. new administra.
ton, promises to eclipse any event of the
kind ever held in the city. The several
committees are hard at work on their
preparations for the event. The hall of
the house of representatives, in which
the ball will be held, has been renovated
and reftted. There is an entire new
hardwood floor, which fits the hall for
dancing better than ever before. The
walls of the house chamber has been re-
decorated and frescoed with handsome
and artistic designs.
Present plans are to have a reception
for an hour preceding the dance. The
grand march will begin at o:3o and dane
ing will follow through the evening. An
excellent banquet will be served, and
each dance ticket entities the holder to
two seats at the banquet table. The
price fixed by the committee for the ball
is S. Excellent music is being arranged
for, and every feature Of the ball will be
carefully looked after. The ball will be
a stare event and residents of the state
are cordially invited to attend.

THE GERMAN CAPITAL.
Berlin One Of the Clennest and Best
Kept Cities In Europe.

Kept Cities In Europe.
According to consular reports, Der
lin, although a busy manufacturing
city, is one of the %cleancst and best
kept in Europe. The slmDkeless condi-
ton Of the Berlin atmosphere is as
cribed to three facts-the preponderant
use Of coke and briquettes, which are
practically smokeless; the skillful sci
entific construction of boiler furnaces
and chimneys and, finally, the high
standard of skill that is taught and
enforced among firemen who stoke fur
naces with coal for steam and manu-
featuring purposes. Before a man can
assume such a, charge he must be
taught the theory and practice of eco
nomical, scientific firing, by which the
coal is distributed in such Il manner
and quantity ver the CRATE surface as
to secure the most perfect combustion
of it's volatile elements. The S!lesian
coal used in Berlin in most large steam
plants and factories is rich in bitumen,
but would rank below many of the
bituminous Goals of the United States,
and yet the long, dense, trailing clouds
of smoke from mill and factory Chin
neys which are so familiar a sight to
many American cities are rarely seen
in that section of Germany, where the
indiscriminate shoveling of raw btu
minous coal into the steam and other
furnaces is considered an ignorant and
wasteful proceeding.

Little Man Friday.
Clara Morris to January St. Nichola

TIARA motifs 10 january ot. NICHOLAS.
Like most boys dogs, Friday was a
mongrel. 1t would be much easier to
say what he was not than what he was,
for he was neither retriever. pointer, St.
Bernard, Newfoundland, bull, nor mas
tiff-nor anything else that was well-bred
or clearly defined; but he was intelli-
gence itself.
He was never tired, never cross; he
was always ready to eat or sleep. He
was of medium size, and he had a yellow
brown coat of short stiff hair marked by
a dark stripe running down his back
bone: Nature had carlessly given him
four misft feet much too large for him.
At first sight people were apt to pity
him for having to carry about such
length and weight of caudal appendage
as he had, and declared he should have
been divorced from it in his earliest
youth; but once they saw the very tenn
pest of Joy that lumpy long tail could
express,-saw it like a harp string vi
brating with love and devotion,-they
felt there was not one inch too much of
it. In his ridiculous body he showed all
the Eighty activity of a fox-terrier, while
in his rare moments Of quietude his face
wore a truly mastiff-li k gravity.

A MOVABLE FORT.

One of the latest inventions for service
in wal times is called the war motor. Be-
ing built on wheels it can be operated by
a very few men, and is strongly recon-
mended for ~seacoast defense. The only
medicine that is strongly recommended
by thousands of grateful people, who
have used it as a defense against all
stomach, liver and kidney complaints, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t cured
them and will not fail in your case. Try
it, if you are a sufferer from loss of ap-
petite, headache, insomnia, indigestion,
dyspepsia, torpid liver. constipated
bowels, or kidney troubles, and you will
no be disappointed. Ask your drug
gist for a copy of our 1903 illustrated
Almanac. 1t contains much valuable
and useful information and is free of

Health Making Storms.

What the tide does in the ocean of
water storms do ir the ocean Of air
deleterious and poisonous germs are
removed or killed. The noticeable
smell of ozone after a thunderstorm
and the increased bodily comfort are
well known. Storms, in the main, are
due to the action of our atmosphere in
resisting the escape Of the radiant
heat. Even at the equator great cold
exists at the trifing height Of four
miles above sea level, which is reduced
to three during the night. One week
Of continued night in the tropics would
lock them in the grip Of eternal frost
and put an end to all life. Now and
again the upper fluid is punctured. so
to speak, and through the breach SO
caused q downward rush with rotary
movement is made till equilibrium is
again restored. Storms, therefore, are
essentially bene1cent, both to health
and life. They reshape for use the
necessary life giving air and warmth
as earthquakes do the crust Of the
earth.

Keep Accounts.

Keeping accounts. simple in form,
plain, clear and easily understood,
showing amounts due to or from 9th

which money is paid out or received, is
the best plan to avoid disputes about
money matters and relieves the memo

written record of a money transaction
has greater legal value in case Of con-
troversy in court than any verbal state

Shout Breaks a Glass

Every one knows that windows will
rattle when a loud noise is made In a
room, but very few persons know that
a glass can be broken by shouting into
It.
Any ordinary glass which has a clear
tone will do for this trick, and the ex-
act nature Of its tone can readily be
ascertained by passing a moistened
finger around its rim. This point be-
ing settled, the performer should hold
the glass in front Of his mouth and
shout into it in a tone about an octave
higher than that Of the glass. The re-
suit will be that the glass will break
Immediately, and for the reason that
1t will not have strength enough to re-
sist the force exerted against it by the
waves of air.
The thinner the glass is the more
easily it will be broken.

500 RE WARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
surfaces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors have

note that other Ignite fields in
the state are just now attracting
eastern capital and are likely soon
to be the centers of great activity.
But the Ignite coal industry is
still in its infancy and the time
has not yet come for the repeal OF
fostering legislation. The people
of the state will be more interested
in fair maximum freight rates than
in the repeal of the laws encourag,
ing the use of Ignite coal. There
can never be a successful Ignite
trust in North Dakota, thanks to
that provision in the constitution
that forbids the sale of state lands
containing coal deposits but per-
mits the leasing OF the same for
the benefit of the state and the
people. Let us continue to en-

parties and corporations until that

The Bismarck Tribune says:
Col. A, P. Peake, manager of the
Consolidated Coal company,
which operates the Ignite mines
west of the river, writes a three
column letter to the Litchville
Bulletin, in answer to charges re-
garding the operations of the
"lignite coal trust" Mr.. Peake
claims that there is no trust, and
that with the exception of the
two mines controlled by the con
pany, no other company corn
trolls more than one mine. Mr..
Peake points out also, that it is
difficult to build up mining COM
munities in this state for the rea-
son that the demand is irregular,
and, while extremely heavy at
this season, drops off inthc spring
and summer to practically moth
ing. Then again, it is difficult tc
obtain cars for the shipment Of
coal. The hard coal shortage has
increased the demand to much
above the normal, and hence the
cry from all parts of the state fol
more coal. The Tribune is not
an apologist for any coal trust, but
it is apparent that, in the building
up of. mining operations, with the
irregular demand, and difficulty o,
getting miners and cars. the Goa
mine operators have been working
under a serious disadvantage. us

How the Rash Comes.

In measles. a rash appears on the
fourth day Of the fever. 1t is first seen
on the forehead. face and neck, after
ward over the whole body. 1t consists
of raised red spots. In scarlet fever
the rash appears on the second day Of
the fever, commencing on the upper
part Of the chest and neck, whence it
spreads over the body. In smallpox an
eruption is seen on the third or fourth
day on the face, neck and wrists. In
chicken pox the eruption is made Of
small blebs. In typhoid fever the rash
rarely shows itself before the seventh
day of the fever. The spots are rose
colored, and they disappear on pressure.
