Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chill
dren, and her condition ruins the child's
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache, bearing down pains or
displacement, making life burden.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. 1t strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and Irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value:

New York Language.

A New Yorker is never discharged
from his position. Sometimes you get
hint of what happened to him when
he sinks to the commonplace OF say
ing that he was fired" Ihls is not
often. Along Park Row, reporter is
never discharged. He is hit by the
iron ball" If you look puzzled and
press an inquiry, he will say impa-
tiently: "Oh, got mine to-day. or
er was lofted!" or again, Il hit the
ceiling." Should these expressive YER
hal shafts fail to penetrate your
OPAQUE intelligence, he will look stead

A devoted mother seems to listen to

funct Red River Valley university of

known to have been lost and more
than thirty persons injured, some Of
them seriously, on the Cunard line
steamer Campania last Wednesday
when a gigantic wave rolled over the

sudden was the coming of the disaster
md so great the confusion which at
tended and followed it that even the

persons known to be missing from the
steerage may not constitute the full
number of dead.

Brakeman Killed.

Frank Konia, a brakeman on the
Denhoff branch of the Northern Pa
cific railway, was killed at Darlington
while switching in the yards. Konia
had charge of the spotting of cars and
had given the engineer a signal to kick
car from the side track onto the
main track, and after the string of cars
was in motion he stepped in front Of
the train for some reason unknown,
and in some way he slipped and fell,
one of the cars passing over his leg,
tearing and twisting it terribly. He
must have caught hold of something
on the car and held on, as he was
dragged over thirty feet before it was
discovered he was caught and the cars
stopped. Konia died within a few
minutes after the accident.

items OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
President J. A.. Erickson Of the Failed
First National Bank of Minot
Sentenced to Prison for
... Five Years.

In the United States court at Fargo
last week ]. A. Erickson, president of
the recently failed First National bank
OF Minot, changed his plea Of not guilty
to one of guilty. There were two in
dictments, including twenty-six counts,
against him and the case was so strong
there was no hope of acquittal. On
advice of his attorneys he threw him
self on the mercy of the court.
Er1ckson's high living and inexpe.
rtence is thought to have been more
responsible for the wreck Of the bank
than any criminal intent.
The wreck appears to have been so
complete that nothing was left for the
depositors.
Making false returns to the comp
troller of the currency was the techni-
cal charge upon which he pleaded
guilty.
ing day to five years at hard labor in
the government prison at Sioux Falls
on the charge of making false reports
to the controller. It was the lightest
sentence that could be imposed under
the statutes.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Ami
don expressed sympathy with the de.
fendant in this particular case, as lack
of criminal intent had been shown.
Erickson explained that the directors
had been lax and exercised no SUPER
vision of the banks affairs. He had
requested such action at the last meet
Ing In January, and the directors prom
ised to do something later on.
Erickson broke down when the SEN
tence was imposed.
Erickson has been taken to Sioux
Falls to begin serving his five-year
term in the penitentiary. His wife ar.
rived at Fargo from Minot to bid him
goodby.

Paris, Oct. 18.-The departure OF

II President Castro persists in his

the cruisers Lavoisier and Chasseloup-

ceed together to the French West In
dies, joining the cruisers Jurien de Ia
Graviere and Troude now at Mar
Unique. This will give the division
Eve ships under Admiral Bevoie de
Lapeyrere. The rendezvous would be
Fort de France, Martinique. These
preparations are precautionary, as the
officials here are still hopeful that
President Castro will make suitable
amends. Therefore no orders have
been issued concerning the nature of
the ultimate naval action against Ven-
ezuela, as these await the assembling
Of the ships and the result of the diplo-
matte negotiations.
The duration of the voyage to Fort

Therefore time remains for President
Castro to make explanations. 1t Is un-
derstood that the demonstration II

months in Jail. There was nothing to
show criminal intent in his case, as he
had sold the Florida water for years
