Mrs. Catherine Therer of Albany,

that L was broken down by age, and
was doomed to the weak and feeble
condition of old people. The slightest
exertion tired me, and / had no
strength. My daughter brought me a
bottle Of Vinol. I soon felt an i'm

am now well, cheerful and stronger
than / have been for years; in fact,

Vinol is not a strong stimulant
which reacts on the system, but it is
a genuine tonic and body-builder,
which creates strength by building up
every organ in the body to do it's work
as nature intended, and makes rich,
red blood. In this way it stops the
natural decline and replaces weakness
with vigor. We wish every old per-
son in Minneapolis would try Vinol

fails. Take a dose of Vinol after each
meal and every night before retiring

Steele, N. D., Feb. S.-Work has been
west of the residence lots where the gold
dirt was found in a well. A sample of
the sand taken out was examined by
an expert from the west, and he pro-
nounces it as rich as anything found in
the Klondike. Two more shafts have
been started by P. j. Lyons and e. S.
Elliott Of the Republican. They have
erected a house over their shaft and are
pushing the work.
An East Indian astrologer and palmist
has been here two or three days, and
some of the mining men have been clos
eted with him with a view of getting at
the truth of the mineral problem. A
prominent citizen consulted him last
night, and it is learned he was advised
to embark in the new enterprise.
Some citizens announce the belief that
the astrologer is no other than a person
sent here from Washington to investigate
the mine matter. Others think there is
a good deal of enthusiasm thrown away.
But the original mine discoveries are go
ing along with their work.

the reasonable PROBABILITIES, as citizens in
that section are getting active.
