Saved From Terrible Death.

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt, of
Brayerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DIR. Kings New
Discovery for consumption turned des-
pair into Joy. The first bottle brought
immediate relief and its continued
use completely cured her. It's the
most certain cure in the world for all
throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed
Bottles SOC and el.0O. Trial bottles

Resolutions of Coincidence.

The Sheyenne District Of the United
Lutheran Church assembled at Souris,
N. D., adopted the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, the Lord, whose ways
are mysterious, has in his infinite wis.,
dom and mercy seen fit through a
fatal accident to call away from the
church militant to The church
triumphant our co-laborer and brother
in the Lord, Rev. o. X. Quamme, and
Whereas, we knew him as an
energetic and Jealous worker, true
friend and faithful pastor and the
oldest minister In our district, be it
therefore resolved,
That the Sheyenne District of the
United Lutheran church expresses its
heartfelt sympathy with his bereaved
family and his congregations and pray
that God will bring comfort to the
afflicted hearts.
That we cherish the hope that the
deceased has entered the full Joy in
heaven and that through Christ has
received the reward which God has
promised to all his faithful servants
and our prayer is that the sorrow
stricken family as well as we ourselves
when the Lord shall call us away by
death, may gather with him in the
company of the elect.
That these resolutions be spread
upon the record and a copy be sent to
the bereaved family and a copy to
each of his home papers for publica-
ti0n.

D1ED-On Thursday afternoon, July
IA, 1904, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. B. Langford in Cooperstown, Ken
meth, the youngest son of MIR. and Mrs.
G. w. Houghton, from a complication
of diseases. The little fellow was as
well as could be July 4th and it is said
that he ate too many peanuts, candy,
etcs, that brought on stomach trouble
which was followed by other COM
plications. The little boy was year
and eight months old and was a
beautiful little boy, the idol of his
heart broken parents. The funeral
took place in the Methodist church
last Saturday afternoon Rev. ]. s.
DeLong officiating. Interment was
made in the cemetery. The loss of
their little boy is indeed very hard
blow to Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton and
their many friends in town and
throughout the county deeply SYM
pathize with them in their great loss.

MEMO. ON GRAIN
IS NOT ENOUGH.

The noted case of Henry Cramer of
Clara City, Mimi, against the North
western Elevator company, of Mime
apolis, has been decided in favor of
the defendant. There is involved in
this case question of vital interest
to the grain trade and to every north
western farmer-the right of a coun-
try elevator manager to issue receipts
for grain in form other thanthat pre-
scribed by statute and the regulations
of the railroad and warehouse COM
mission, and the binding power Of
such receipts or memoranda upon the
elevator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June, 1901, was lost by the defendant,
went before the Minnesota supreme
court, was sent back for retrial, and
came up again last month at Ganite
Falls. Fifteen or more rough slips
bearing memoranda in numbers and
signed by J. Keely, agent of the North
western Elevator company, but with
out date brother marks of definiteness,
made up the principal exhibit. The
court decided that such receipts are
not binding upon the elevator COM
pany and are not collectable. In the
case in question the elevator company
was able to show that there was no
record on their books that they had
even received the grain and that their
agent had never notified the Mime
apolis office of any such receipts. The
first knowledge Of it came with the
presentation Of the slips in question,
which. the farmers claimed, were is
sued to them by Keely for grain taken
in.
With the decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will need
far greater caution hereafter. Altho
the state has prescribed the form of
receipts to be issued, it has been the
custom to disregard this in many in
stances.
The news that these memoranda are
worthless In law, in the event of an
error or dispute arising, will surprise
many farmers who have taken them
without question.
