Hearing how lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound had saved other womsn from
serious operations / decided to try IL, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes;
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"Loss of strength extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps bearing down pains and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that | had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this | strongly objected
and decided as last resort to try LYDIA
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. -,
"To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad SYMPTOMS disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and / can
not express my thanks for what 1t has done
for me"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation, Ill
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrh9a, irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.

grateful letters on file in Mrs Pink
| hams office would be convinced Of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.

OUTRAGEs IN DIVORCE TRIALS

Lawyers and iurists, who pride themselves on
modern Jurisprudence as q science, must admit
that the trial Of divorce often scandazes the
intelligence Of the legal profession and the decency
OF courts. According to the incident in the Cody
case at Cheyenne any ratte-braled or ignorant
witness is free to utter publicly the grossest sland
er OF persons not on trial, and even OF the dead.
The tolerance of the court in permitting witness
to testify that Mrs. Cody had accused Col. Cody
Of intimacy with the late aged Queen Of England.
was at once ridiculous and pitfu The incident
merited. the immediate stern rebnke OF the Judge.
Thatit is possible grossly to SANDER anybody in
divorce trial aided and abetted by the macln-
cry OF justice, shown to finish by that hideous
spectacle Of trailing the name OF a woman who
was great grandmother at the time mentioned,
in the mire OF celebrated case. Apparently any
woman can be named before an American tribunal
being intimate with any man-f any witness
chooses to say So What right have courts to be
parties to gratutous slander which, If initiated in
a newspaper, would render the publisher subject
to prosecution for criminal libel? Doubtless the
lawyers regarded the absurdity OF the thing its
saving grace, but there can be no saving grace ia
so shocking an insult to the revered memory of a
woman whose only sin was that she was d queen.

THE GROWTH OF THE NORTHWEST

The growth OF the Northwest during the past
few years makes the census report look like last
years birds nest. After the last census returns
were taken and while the report was being com
piled and printed the population of the Northwest
increased more than half million people south Of
the Canadian border The exact percentage of in
crease was not ascertained during that period. 1t
has been five years since the census was taken and
several Of the western states are considering
an appropriation for the purpose of taking the
census of 1868 and other statistics of vital import
ance to the states.
In the Canadian Northwest the situation is
even worse, but the system there of keeping tally
on new settlers enables the officials to reach more
accurate conclusions than is possible on this side
of the line 1t is estimated that the increase in the
Canadian Northwest is not less than ! 2J per ceut.
during tie past five years over tile corresponding
previous period. 1t is not unreasonable to believe
that the American Northwest has increased in pop
ulation equally with that Of her Canadian sister.
Since the census was taken in the spring OF 1900
no less than einlity-seven postoiiices have
been established in the Northwest states, and dur
ing the same period f3rty-iou1 new towns and rail
road stations have been established while nearly
two thousand miles Of railway has been built

SEED SCARSE AND GOING

While there are sections in both Dakot as where
good plump seed is still plentiful, such places are
the exception, and every day that passes sees hem
more SO. The trouble seems to be to CONVINCE
farmers that happen to have ample good seed that
it is scarce We feel confident that ii those having
more good seed than they need would hold ontoir
and let the world know that they have it, that it
will all he wanted at an advance in price long be-
fore seeding begins. Referring to the application
Of Congressman Stcinerson. Of Crookston Mime
sofa, Tor ruling to permit northwestern farmers
to import seed grain from across the line, has
turned renewed attention to the wheat supply in
the northwest. Referring to this the Minneapolis
Journal says:
'Thele is great shortage Of wheat this Year
Secretary Rogers OF the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce, in the Minneapolis Market Record OF
today calcua tes that when milling and seed re
quirements are figured up there is aeenerald deficit
in Minnesota and the Dakotas OF 80, ,45S, 844 bu-
shells
'The farmers, tempted by prices higher than
for many years, have sold themselves out wheat
BY Dec. 81, only 3l.2 per cent of the crop was
lett in the farmers hands, compared with al per
cent remaining at the corresponding date a year
ago. In North Dakota the farmers hold only 21 8
per cent against A., and in South Dakota 2G.3
per cent against As. Secretary Rogers makes
statement extremely bullish as to supplies basng
it on estimated total production OF 17O,OOOOOO
bushels. Some estimators do not think the three
states produced more than 155, 100000 bushels
last year:
''The fact that the representative OF the ninth
minnesota district, embracing large and import
ant wheat producing area, should concern himself
with the matter Of obtaining free seed wheat for
his constituents is taken change as indicating
q bad situation. The inference drawn is sthatsome
farmers have sold themselves out believing the
high prices would not last and that they could
later buy seed wheat cheaper, but as this now be-
gins to appear unlikely, they are disposed to turn
to Canada for it.
sc. c. Dalrymple OF the big Dalrymple farm,
who is in Minneapolis, says he believes there is
seed enough in the three states togo around. I'VE
have our seed and most Of the big farmers have
theirs, said Mr.. 'Da]ryn1pe. Last fall we sold
every bushel OF wheat we raised and scraped our
farms bare, as did most others in our vicinity.
Then we turned about and bought choice wheat
for seed and now have it on the farm. just how
the average farmer is fixed cannot say, but be-
lieve that while many may be short, there is
enough good seed wheat i'll The northwest toaeach
around: were it evenly distributed.

MARTINS HOMESTEAD BILL

\ bill is now before congress designed to alloH;
IA homestctlt!er to take up full section OF land i'll
stead OF 100 as at present. The scheme is in
the interest OF the stoc<raiscr and against the
teress of the small farmer 1t is highly objection
able except TO those who would profit by it. One
hundred and sixty acres OF land properly cuItyat-
ed is sufficient for any one man to take as IL free
gift from the government. More than this the
average farmer will not take care or f.
six hundred and forty acre homestead law
would be one of the most dangerous and menac-
inc pieces of legislation which has been suggested
for years. Such a law would result in the aggre-
CATION OF great holdings far worse than anything
of the kind that has obstructed the settlement OF
the western country.
Recently Senator Gibson Of Montana expressed
his idea OF this BILL saving, ''No man say at
this time what is purely rredeemable grazing lands
and what are agricultural lands Great tracts OF
country are being cultivated to-day in small farms
which ten years ago were looked upon rs utterly
worthless, and the future contains even greater
surprises" !"
The bill is fathered by Congressman Martin OF
South Dakota, the Rlack Hills member, who lives
in the cattle grazing country, where the small
farmer is slowly encroaching and establishing
homes and it is believed that the measure is in the
interests OF the cattlemen. The land is goodfarm-
ing land. Fine crops are raised here, yet the au-
thor of the bill-woud strike blow at the prosper
ity of his own country that a few cattle raisers
may ultimately control large areas OF land.

With honest heart and an honest aim in all that

You will get grip on generous slice of the worlds

MONEY IN WOLViNG

For the past year c. f. Everett, Of Stark coun-
ty, has been engaged in wolving. and he likes the
work very much, notony for the profit there is in
it but for he health and amusement it affords.
Recently Mr. Everett stopped at Medora and Sc
cured the bounty on 30 wolf skins at S. each iii
December he went into Aledora with o skins, SO it
will be appar to the reader that there is some
profit in wolviny, and the bounty is not all OF it.
Some gray wolf skins sell as high as $40 and the
average price, when the fur is good, is about S4.
short time ago Mr.. Everett caught five gray
wolves in one night by poisoning the carcass Of a
young colt 1t SO HAPPENED that he came along
soon after the wolves had killed the colt and he
put the poison in the meat while it was still warm.
Mr.. Everett talso uses traps in catching the wolves
and occasionally he catches other animals Last
fall he caught very large eagle, The bird was
caught by one claw and was not injured.

THE PANAMA CANAL

The Panama commission and engineers who
have recently returned from an inspection OF the
route for the canal between Panama on the At
antic and Colon on the Pacific, differ as to plans.
The commission has accepted the plans which pro-
vide for three great locks, and estimate the cost OF
construction of these locks and canal at$26O, ,OOO,-
OOO The engineers who have looked over the
route, claim that by deeper dredging than is
planned by the commission but one lock will be
needed, though the cost ofsuch construction would
be about $500, ,OOO, 900 1t is said however, that
the latter construction wouldrequlre considerable
less care to maintain and that it would last a
thousand years or more while the strain Of traffic
on the three locks proposed by the commission
would not only require large annual outlay for
maintenance. but would have to be rebuilt at least
once il, a century. It would. therefore, seem
cheaper to construct the deep waterway.
