 What To Do.
 There is comfort ill the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulf1ls every wish i'll curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain ill passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overconles that unpleasant ne- cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best. Sold by drug gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

LOCAL AFFAIRS. ICE CREAM AND CAKE AT THE u.
 BRAkY.

ON SATURDAY EVENINGS DURING JULY
 AND AUGUST. ,
 The committee of ladies appointed at the last annual meeting of the New town Library Association to plan en- tertainments for the raising of money through the year has hit upon a novel scheme. This is to have ice cream and cakes on sale at the Library on Saturday evenings during July and August. The floor of the library is to be repolished and the wall of the mag azine room, where large block of plaster has fallen, is to be put in good condition and tinted. Thus our book house will be set in good order when our guests come to see how we look at our great Bi-centennial. This is the right thing to do and we must help the good work (which means the la dies) along. Remember that the first date when ice cream and cakes will be on sale is Saturday evening, July 1.

A very attractive and handsome booklet, entitled Wonderland" has just been issued by the Passenger De- partment of the Northern Pacific rail road. Those interested in the growth and progress of the West, particularly in the arts and in the refinements of society, will be glad to note the great stride forward taken by Minnesota, so we'll shown in the construction of one of the finest and most costly public buildings of the country-the new and magnificent marble Capitol at. St Paul, and which Wonderland describes. The shores and islands of Lake Superior, known to the Indians as Kitchigami, are yearly becoming more and more a fine summer pleasure ground, and re- treat for hay fever sufferers. Wonder land has chapter on this region, made memorable by Longfellow in Hiawatha. A story of the days of '76 and TT, when Indian uprisings were the vogue in the West. This briefly recounts the events leading up to a fight with the band of Lamea Deer, a Sioux chief, in the valley of the Rose chief, and his supposed interment in a natural rock sepulchre. The descrip- tion of the Yellowstone is partly his- tOrical, partly descriptive, and gives one at some length many.sided view of this wonderful land of geysers, hot springs, bears, terraces, cataracts, bi- son and canons. The holding of the Lewis and Clark exposition, the cen tennial of an event of momentous con- sequence to our entire country, is preg- nant with great possibilities. The ex'
 position city, Portland, Oregon, is one of the most attractive in the United
 States, and the surrounding country is
 wonderfully rich in historical and
 scenic attraction, and in an agricul tural and horticultural way. The ex
 position offers the best opportunity
 yet known to visit the Northwest anc
 the Pacific Coast during the vacation
 period at an almost ridiculously lov
 cost. The exposition marks an epocl
 in the history of the West. The book
 will be sent to any address on receip
 of six cents in stamps

 WORTHWHILE When the wind blows there's rustic, As the leaves and light things hustle, There's 8 rattle bang and chatter. And we wonder what's the matter When the West Wind blows. There's no time to leave the helm, Lest the huge waves overwhelm, As they roar and plunge and batter And we're sure something's the matter When the East Wind blows. There's 8 SOftness in the Sea Breeze, As 1t murmurs in the shade trees, When we hear the cooing, wooing, Then we wonder what it's doing When the South Wind blows. 8 time to run for shelter, When the snow comes hel.er skelter. When the wind flaps coats and bOnpets, not in soft, sweet sonnets, When the North Wind blows.
