Heart
Weakness

The action of the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart fut-
tiers, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shout

ment.

The extraordinarily open character
or this spring has led the farmers
along the line of the Great Northern
TO prepare at this early date for the
spring seeding. Preliminary clearing
OF wheat lands is in general progress,
and II is said that actual seeding will
commence next week.
The season is about two weeks
ahead of the average, and as little
snow fell on the plains and ranges, the
wheat rancherS are determined to get
their seed in the ground during the
spring period of moisture to insure a
strong early growth of the plants
All through North Dakota the
weather has been ideal for a good and
early crop Of wheat. Those who have
carefully observed the weather OF that
section in the past say that the light
ness of the fall of snow last winter Is
an almost certain sign that there will
be deficiency in precipitation during
the summer months and that the only
way to avoid loss through heat and
drought in July is to put in the crop
in March.
The farmers all along the line have
been so busy preparing for this phase
OF their work that country merchants
have had letup in the rush OF spring
business and little in the way OF in
dustrial development has been accom-
plished since the warm weather
started.

H. L. Gordon Has Difficulty
With Third Wife

H. L. Gordon, formerly of Minneapolis
and other places in Minnesota, is having
some more matrimonial troubles.
The patriarch of 6S accused his wife
No. of improper conduct and she has
filed a cross bill in which she asks a de-
cree. He removed to Los Angeles, Cal.
from Minneapolis in 1880 and married a
second time. One of the witnesses to
this marriage was a trained nurse who
had a handsome daughter 19 years of
age. When he divorced his second wife
IN 1892 he married the young woman in
Chicago.
Gordon asserts the case is one of black
mail and that he has been promised a
settlement if he will withdraw the case
and pay his wife $4,000. This he has de-
clined to do and has declared war.
He has four children, all of whom
live in Los Angeles. They are Huntley
l.. Gordon, Mrs. Rene L. Brassy, Mrs.
A II. Hedderly and William w Gordon,
all of whom 'once lived in Minneapolis.
Owing to the wide acquaintance that
Col. Gordon has in Minneapolis there is
considerable interest in this, his last
matrimonial disturbance.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Coincident
with the ests blishment OF the Hill line
of steamships between the North Pacific
coast and the orient. the export trade Of
the United States TO Asia has increased
enormously. In the seven months ended
Jan. 81 our exports to Asiatic countries
were larger than in the entire twelve
months of the fiscal year 1904. There is a
phenomenal boom in the oriental trade in
both directions. and the prospect is that
the export business for the current fiscal
year will be nearly twice as great as in
any other year in the history of the Unit
ed States
The great bulk of our outbound ship
ments to Asia go to China. Japan and
Hongkong. In the first seven months Of
this fiscal year our shipments TO China
were just about $40. 100000 larger than in
any similar period in the history of this
trade; our shipments to Japan were about
S. 600. 900 larger than the largest previous
record for a seven months period, and
