trated the scalp and followed the

through his hat and burying itself in
the car.
Had Mr.. Farr ,r's head been turned

killed. The boys were captured and

"A True
Mothers
Friend"

The miracle of motherhood IL
often overshadowed by the misery
of motherhood. The great functional
changes which are incident to child
bearing leave their mark for life on
many a mother. Some women offer
up their lives as a sacrifice on the
altar of motherhood. A far greater
number live on in ceaseless misery.
Their strength fails, their beauty
fades, they have no ambition and no
enjoyment in life.
To every wo1nan Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription offers escape
from the pains and perils of mother
hood. Taken during the period of
waiting and anticipation this medi-
cine strengthens the body, nourishes
the nerves, and prepares the whole
womanly system for the coming
ordeal. The mind feels bright and
buoyant. There is no anxiety, no
dread, but in its place a happy an
ticipation of the. baby's coming,
which counts for the future happi-
nes of the child unborn. The use
of wFavorite Prescription makes the
baby's advent easy, and gives abund-
ant vitality to nursing mothers.
There is no alcohol in wFavorite
Prescription neither opium, cocaine
or other narcotics. It is q purely
vegetable medicine.

STRIKE IMMINENT.
It is Rumored That the G. N. EMPLOYEES
Will Strike.


From reliable sources it is learned
that about 80 per cent of the trainmen
of the Great Northern system are in
favor of a strike on the double header
proposition. A. vote is now being
taken all along the line, which will
be completed some time next week.
Brakemen, conductors and switchmen
r affected, the engineers and fremen
not participating in the vote.
Whether OF not the railroad officials
will accede to the demands of the
employees when it is known a strike
has been ordered, remains to be seen.
Public sentiment is undoubtedly with
the road in this controversy.
