Unhappy Women !

No woman can be happy when her
health is undermined. No woman can
have good health while she suffers from
female weakness, Inflammation, ulcera-
tiOn or any disease of the delicate wom-
anly organs. Nervous, sleepless, fretful,
suffering in body and mind, she does not
live but only exists.
More than a half q million such women
have found a perfect and permanent cure
for their diseased condition In the use of
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Women cured by this remedy say 1t is
q wonderful medicine" so perfectly
does II restore them to health and come
illness.
There is no alcohol in "Favorite Pre-
scription," neither does 1t contain opium,
cocaine, nor any other harmful drug. 1t
Is in the strictest sense, an honest, tenn
perance medicine. Its ingredients are
purely vegetable, and 1t will agree with
the most delicate constitution
RTs4 Don't be hypnotized, or over per-
40 suaded, into accepting q substitute.
This medicine has a record that's worth
far more than any difference in price.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce, either personally or
by letter, absolutely without charge or
fee, thus avoiding the unpleasant ques-
tionings, offensive examinations and OBJ
noxiOus local treatments considered nee

Platform Of the National Reciprocity
Organization.

organization,
The following is the platform
adopted OF Chicago last week by the
National Reciprocity Convention;
The national reciprocity convention,
representing more than 200 agricul-
tural, commercial and Industrial
associations of the United States, by
delegates assembled in Chicago,
August l6 and Il, 1905, hereby
makes the following declaration OF
principles:
Whereas, The agricultural, msnufac-
turing and other industries Of this
country have expanded to such an
extent that they a no longer depend
upon the home market for the
consumption Of their entire product
and
Whereas, The export trade has
become a vital support to many Of oug
industries; and
Whereas, The present commercial
attitude Of the United States, largely
owing to our failure to carry into
effect the reciprocal trade provisions Of
section 4 Of the DINGHY law, is antsgo.
nizing foreign nations, whose good
will we desire an on whom we have
hitherto depended as purchasers OF our
surplus products; therefore he it.
Resolved: First, that the conven-
ton, recognizing the principle Of
, protection as the established policy OF
our country, advocates reciprocal con.
cessions by means Of a dual OF
maximum and minimum tariff as the
most adequate and practical method
of relieving the strained situation will
which we are now confronted
5 Second, that the question of thu
schedules and items to be considered
in such reciprocal concession
preferably be suggested by a permsnen
tariff commission, to be created b,
Congress and appointed by tn,

soft fat which will work off in a few

The Privilege of Prayer

We may have heard a man in the
vigor and freshness OF youth sneer at
the faith OF his mother, but when the
oats has been sowh, when the mad
race has been run andage and decrepi-
tude come upon him, how often have
we seen that same man demonstrate
that he realizes the completeness of
human frailty. .
We may of heard a man sneer at the
faith of a neighbor, yet how often have
we seen that same man when death
has threatened his own household,
kneeling beside the cot of a beloved
child and mingling his prayers with
those of a devoted mother, invoking
for his home. that which he is power
less himself to give, pleading for re-
lief from a source whose very exist
ence he has sometimes questioned.
In the moment ofperil. humah frailty
leans instinctively towards divine
strength. The privilege of the "sweet
hour OF prayer that brings II "from
a world of care'' has been the boon to
mankind. 1t has smoothed the pillow
of many a dying man; it has quick
ened theconscience OF many a thought
less woman; it has given inspiration
to many a simple child and has
brought surcease of sorrow to many a
heart-broken parent.
The mother praying for the way
ward son is encouraged to new efforts
in behalf of her child; the soldier
praying for guidance on liberty's
battlefield is inspired to more skillful
struggles; the statesman, invoking
divine aid in dealing with the prob
lens of the government, is brought
nearer to his guard and hence nearer
to his conscience.

as an art work. The short fiction OF

Hamlin Garland, John Luther Long,

The Huron correspondent OF the
Sioux City Journal announces the
candidacy of Mr.. Crawford for Govern
or. The last information the Huron
lite had from Mr.. Crawford was that he
was undecided as to being a candidate
for governor or any other office. A
representative Of the Huronite called
at the Office of Mr.. Crawford to-day to
ascertain the truth of the report but
the gentleman was absent from home,
hence no conformation of the report
could be obtained. 1t need surprise
no one, however, if Mr.. Crawford
should be a candidate, and certainly
no me will object if he is. He has
the same high ambition to serve his
people as any other man ofprominence
and in prosecuting his candidacy he
will have hearty home support

The international Live Stock Exposition
to be Held in Chicago, Dec. 2 to O.

"The International Live Stock Expo
sition is an index of the progress OF
animal breedinginthis country. Here
are annually exhibited the best pro-
ducts of the mind and genius of the
American breeder, concepts which have
been developing during 20, and in
some cases even 80 or 40 years. What
a privilege it is to come in contact
with these men; what an inspiration
to study the results of their consistent
and united effort. 1t is no wonder
that students of the agricultural col
leges far and near, with their in~struc-
tors flock to Chicago during the live
stock exposition. Where else could
they hope to find a school sXemplify-
ing as this does all the principles OF
animal breeding and nutrition. Yes,
the International Live Stock EXPOSE
ton is indeed a great school. Think
OF what it means to the hundreds OF
thousands of farmers who annually
visit it and see what their brother
farmers and stockmen have actually
accomplished. Many a man has got
ten his first true conception of what
animal breedingand production means
through a visit to the Exposition. 1t
has thus become a great vitalizing
and inspiring force to the live stock
men of the whole country"

To oppose municipal ownership of
public utilities is to say our form of
government is a failure. No individ-
ual or corporation is willing to do
business for the public after investing
his or their money in conveniences for
public use, without a growing profit
just according to his or their greed or
avarice. All the people who are taxed
to maintain public utilities are salts
fed if each public convenience pays
its own way. We grade our public
streets for public use. We build our
sewers. lighting plants, water works

A Crime Against Humanity

While life insurance has been treat
ed as a matter of business, it involves
much OF the tendereSt sentiment. The
pillow of many a dying nan has been
SOftened by the reflection that an IN
, uranc policy would afford shelter for
loved ones otherwise u~nprOvIded for.
Many families would have been brok-
en- up at the death of the bread winner
but for the avails of life insurance.
Husbands and fathers have made
generous sacrifices in saving the
policy when all other v%aluables were
slipping away. In sweet assurance
have premiums been paid when debts
were pressing and living came hard.
To destroy confidence in this method
of shielding tender loved ones from
the rough elements of penury is such
a crime against humanity as is seldom
recorded in the annals OF depravity.-
Spirit Lake Beacon. T
Truly said, and along this same line
allow us to add that this has been an
age OF confidence destruction"
Greed after gold-mad %plunging into
get-rich-quick schemes and utter con-
tempt for honesty has strangled al
most every particle OF confidence
which should be held by man toward
his fellow man. There seems to be
little place for honesty-no matter how
one gets his money-society, the state
and the church bow down to the money
if not the man, and as the money can
not be had without accepting the man,
both are welcomed with open arms,
while an honest though poor man sits
an outcast simply because he has the
integrity and willingness to pay his
Just debts and live and let live.

The present state machine and the
''insurgents," of North Dakota will
meet next year in a battle royal for
the control of the republican party of
North Dakota. While administration
leaders belittle the opposition move
ment and declare that it will fizzle out
before the convention, one thing is
apparent to the observer. The insur-
gents are opening their fight earlier
than ever before, with more system,
and with more application of practical
politics than the ~''outs" have ever
before displayed.
