HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet 1t is no unusual sight to
see mother, with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the symp-
toms of consumptive tendency. And
why should this dangerous condition ex-
ist, dangerous alike to mother aud child,
when nr. BOschee's German Syrup would
put stop to it at once? No mother
should he without this old and tried rem =
edy in the house-for its timely use will
promptly cure any lung, throat or bron-
chial trouble in herself or her children.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condl-

Of our Weather and Crops.

Mr.. Slagg gives his Iowa friends
the following fair and unprejudiced
account of what he has seen and
experienced in Mclean county
Conkling, N. D., July %, '04.
Ed. REPUBLICAN,
Dear Sir:-I will try to seribble
a letter to my friends in Iowa, thru
the columns of your paper. Per-
haps they will think we are disap-
pointed in the country because we
haven't written lately, but to the
contrary, we are better satisfied
than we were last year, and who
wouldn't be, to see the beautiful
fields of grain of all kinds, that
give promise of large yields-the
fruitful garden, the abundance of
grass, the cattle rolling in fat and
the copious rains-it would indeed
be queer person who wouldn't be
satisfied with such conditions. But
yet there are some who are not sat-
isfied, but go to other places to bet
ter their circumstances, but most of
them return satisfied with North
Dakota, even Iowa being no excep-
tipn in some cases. But human
nature is the same everywhere.
Some people are dissatisfied with
the promises of God and think
things might have been managed
better.
I don't remember whether [ ever
wrote of the heathfulness of North
Dakota, but according to statistics
the state has the lowest death rate
per thousand of any state in the
union. OF course, there is sickness
and deaths in the state, and where
is the country where they don't ap-
pear? Even the Promised Land of
Cannan, that was referred to as a
land that flowed with milk and
honey, had it's famins and pestil-
ences. There's no place on Gods
footstool where sickness and death
do not occur. 1 belive the North
Dakota climate to be beneficial in
some diseases, especially those of a
catarrhal nature. Some people who
were afflicted with rheumatism re-
ceive benefit, but not always a rad
ical cure.
I notice that the correspondents
of other states always take care to
mention the fine rains they are hav-
ing. I don't blame them, for their
states have been noted for dryness,
but so far as moisture is concerned
North Dakota don't "play second
fiddle with any of them; not so
much to the downpour as to the
long, steady rain. It rained three
days and four nights the fore part
of June, and it rained some eight
of the first twelve days of June; the
week following. two days and one
night, at intervals, and we have had
occasional showers since.
We had what they call a hard
winter for North Dakota, but I
have passed through winters that
worse both in Wisconsin and Iowa
so it don't seem so hard. A great
many cattle were lost because of
neglect and failure to provide feed
and shelter. A great deal Of erro-
neous writing has been done con-
cerninp the land agents and the

landless people. Happily, here
gathered all creeds and all nation
alities,a comminglingwhich history
tells us goes to make up great and
prosperous neighborhoods and
countries. But that this part of
Mclean county has a future before
it pregnant with great possibilities
the most pessimistic will not ven-
ture to deny. It is composed of a
variety Of country, suited for a di-
versity of interests, which will COM
bine to make its growth permanent
and will add to the contentment
and to the happiness of its popula-
tion. It has vast valleys and plains
rich in fertility, many fine streams
of running water fringed with hills,
coulees and many veins of Ignite
coal where coal can be had for the
mere digging. It is a happy COM
bination for farming and stockrais.
ing combined, and there is no
doubt but what the good. hardy
pioneers here-and there are many
of them-will live to reap the fruit
of their early toll and privation.
It is a new country, and those who
build and make their home in a new
country endure much and encoun-
ter much hard work-there is work
for the father, mother and children
and the enjoyments and pleas
ures are not many. But they are
working for themselves, there is no
dividing with the landlord, and
when they have subdued and con-
/ quered, then the rewards will surely
come to the deserving ones, their
labors will be lightened. and their
spheres of happiness broadened.
There is a future for this part of
Mclean Co., and there is future
for everyone of the more than 5000
homesteaders within this territory.
A railway will come to them in the
near future possibly theye 1905
will mark this change railroad
will tighten many of the burdens
that now handicap these people.
It will hasten the development of
of the country. It will increase the
capacity and the productive power
of every farmer. It will make it
possible for better school facilities
for the children, and it will tend to
make better, happier and more con-
tented homes. There will be some
good towns builded, and towns take
their part in the upbuilding and
improvement of the surrounding
country. With the large rural popu.
lation that this countrynow has, and
which it is capable of supporting,
here is bound to be somegood towns
spring up, and the statement is ven-
tured that not many years will pass
before some ambitious future town
in this part Of the county will vie
with Washburn and Underwood for
the honors of the scat of govern
ment for Mclean county. At any
rate, this country with it large and
growing population is bound to be
factor in Mclean Co.-commer-
lcially and politically.

We had what they call a hard
winter for North Dakota, but I
have passed through winters that
worse both in Wisconsin and Iowa
so it don't seem so hard. A great
many cattle were lost because of
neglect and failure to provide feed
and shelter. A great deal of erro-

the contrary, they advised us to

ranchmen that lost the cattle. We

as soon as it melted the cattle went

Those who have not viewed that
part of Mclean Co. lying north and
west of Coal Harbor, have not seen
half of Mclean 20, that is good,
and which is destined to be great.
Until three years ago, all this
vast country was untitled and un-
inhabited except by the Staleys,
Ward, Flynn, Houghtalling, Mich
OILS, Larmer and few others, who
grazed their herds of horses and
cattle over these fertile acres. Upto
that time, all this country of more
than forty miles square was given
up to ranching, and those who fol-
lowed the business prospered and
grew rich. It was vast wilder
ness and 1t was the ranchman's par
adise. There were hills, valleys and
beautiful stretches of open prairie,
there were innumerable springs,
AMI many running creeks which
afforded water for stock winter and
summer. The wonderful growth OF
wild grass, through hill and dale,
gave evidence of a rich and pro-
ductive soil, but it was country
given up to ranching, and no fur
row was turned, and no seed was
sown-the only harvest beng wild
hay and the thousands of fat and
sleek cattle which annually found
ready sale at a good price on the
eastern stock markets.
During the time when this coun-
try laid one hundred and more miles
away from that greatest of all mod
ern civilizers and developers, the
railroad, it was doubtful if there
was man among those who had
occasion to roam over this vast ex-
panse of uninhablted country and
who admired it's natural beauty,
that fancied the great change that
the opening years of the twentieth
century would bring about. The
change that has come to this coun-
try is almost incomprehensible-
has come about so suddenly and
the transformation from wild will
derness to the hopeful homes of
thousands of people is so complete
that it stands without parallel in
the settlement and development of
any other stretch of country among
Uncle Sans domains situated as
it now is from fifteen to fifty miles
from a railroad. It is something
one cannot fully appreciate with
out seeing. 1t was not until the
arrival of the Bismarck, Washburn
& Great Falls Ry. at Washburn in
the fall of 1902. that the eyes of the
homeseeker was directed to this
part of Mclean Go. The country
looked inviting to the prospective
settler, and it's fame as a desirable
land passed from tongue to tongue,
and in but one short year every
available l6O-acre tract was filed on
as a homestead. All this territory
was, government land subject to
homestead entry under the home
stead act, and it afforded the nu-
cleus for the home Of thousands Of
