they saw the dog come to a stop at tie
top of a great boulder. says the San
Francisco Bulletin. The animal was
making no attempt to discover the lost
trail. but was standing rigid on the
rock, his nose pointing in the air. AS
soon as his masters arrived he wagged
his tail, barked once or twice and dis
appeared in the underbrush.
Surprised at the behavior of the
animal, the two men began an investi-
CATION and soon discovered that the
rock was the OutcrOpping of a rich
ledge Of ore. containing gold and silver.
Measurements Of the body were taken.
and it was learned that the mine was
fcrty two feet wide and extended in a
visible line for over $3.50 feet. An

Lot of Trouble from Too Auch
Starcs,J Food
A little boy OF eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and at
ter the operation the doctor. knowing
that his intestinal digestion was very
weak. put him on Grape-Nuts twice q
day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his father states,
He has grown to be strong. muscu-
lar. and sleeps soundly, weighs 62
pounds, and his whole system is in a
fine condition of health" Name given
by Postum Co. Battle Greek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put
on Grape Nuts at an earlier period
in his life, and kept from the use Of
foods that he could not digest. he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes. set
ting up Il diseased condition which IS
the active cause of appendicitis. and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of ,e selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory. all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment ot
all parts Of the body. particularly the
brain and nerve centers.

Killed by Electric LIGHT.

That there is danger in handling
electric wires. whether insulated or
not, is shown by a peculiar accident
of which the Grand Rapids Magnet
gives the following account:
"On last Saturday evening occurred
one of the saddest accidents in the his
tory of Grand Rapids, when Mrs.
John Costello was instantly killed
while carrying an electric light from
the kitchen to the wOodshed. Mrs.
Costello was giving the children a
bath about ten O'Clock in the evening
and the floor being wet it is supposed
that her feet became damp and while
her hands were wet she took the light
and stepped out into the woodshed on
the damp ground which caused a
ground circuit, killing her instantly.
Mrs. Costello leaves a husband,
two boys and girl to mourn her loss.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon, Rev. FIR. Valentine con-
Quoting the service. Interment was
made in Itasca cemetery

New Towns In North Dakota.

The extensive railroad building now
being done in North Dakota has
brought tributary to railroad facili-
ties an additional vast area of the
rich agricultural sections of northern
and western North Dakota. The
Great Northern Railway is building
a number of new extensions from it's
main line northward notably that of
the Sarles extension of the Edmore
line. The Thorne extension running
north from York, the Maxbass extern
sion running northwestward from
Towner, and a further extension of
the Westhope line to Antler.
The building of these new lines has
brought into being a number of new
towns which are fully described in a.
pamphlet recently issued by the Great
Northern Railway. By application
to Mr.. F. I. Whitney, Passenger Traf-
fic Manager, St. Paul, Mimi, copy
of these pamphlets "New Extensions
in North Dakota" or "New Towns in
North Dakota" will be mailed to any
address. 29-34

Lightning Fires G. n. Depot.

During the storm last night at $50
the telegraph wire carried electricity
into the Great Northern depot and set
it on fire. James Hartman and his
wife were on their way to the play
and took shelter from the rain under
an awning near the depot from where
they saw blaze in the window. An
alarm was sent in. but Mr.. Hartman
concluded not to wait for the depart
ment SO he broke a window light and
went in. There was water at hand
and the blaze was extinguished just
as the fire department arrived. The
window, curtain was burned, a hole
was burned in the wainscoting and
the instrument table and window cas-
ing were scorched. It was very for
tunate that, the fire was discovered so
soon, for with little more time it
would have been costly blaze.

The Commercial West never quoted
anything more true than the following
in regard to railroads, but it might,
with all propriety, have added that
the same principle holds good in all
branches of Business: "President
Woodwork, of the Minnea polls Cham
Der of Commerce, makes a point of
great force in the railway controversy
when he says that 'discourteous, in
competent and apathetic station agents
throughout the country do more to
create adverse legislation toward rail-
roads than any one thing The sta
tion agent is the point of contact be-
tween the railway corporation and the
voting public. It is a we'll known fact
in human economy that man will re-
sent any kind of discourtesy more
quickly than he will courteous extor-
ton. A railroad is known by it's
local Representatives If these men
are so small that their Office puffs
them out of normal proportion, the
community believes the railway cor
poration to be aristocratic and tyran-
meal. The American rule is to knock
such an institution through the legis-
lature. Railroads can spend money
no more wisely than by hiring large
men as small station agents. 49, :.

The sentiment expressed in the fol-
lowing from the Litchfeld Review is
old, but it is so good it will bear re-
peating: ''There is not a person liv-
ing but who has occasion more or less
frequently to speak a good word for
his town and community and so aid
ins promoting the, general welfare.
Many people :sdo not properly weigh
the effect of casual remarks made to
strangers or to residents of our neigh
boring towns. Did it ever occur to
you that the reputation of COM
munity is not something manufactured
abroad, but is made by the residents
within the community itself? That is
a fact. It is also a. fact that the repu-
tation of a place has very substan-
tial value. Then it is also a fact that
if every resident of a town will bear
these things in mind and act upon
them, there will be two things accom-
plished. First, property will be made
more desirable by reason of an i'm
proved reputation; and, second, life
will be pleasanter, brighter and more
enjoyable by reason of the knowledge
of this same improved reputation. It
is worth the effort, and requires but
faith in ourselves, local pride and a
cheerful tongue. Try it! Quit whin-
ing! The world hates wilmer, any
Way.',

There is much talk about red tame
in high Offices, but it would be hard
to find anything worse than our law
which requires assessors to go per-
sonally to the county seat to receive
and return the blanks they use, when
they could just as we'll be sent through
the mails. A case in point is that of
Peter Sehlin of Opstead, this county,
who was obliged to spend six days
and travel 2S0 miles because the law
does not allow the business to be done
through the mails. It is high time to
amend the law.
