Or. KENNEDY'S
Av0RITE
REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
no Crimes,

DR.. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is not disguised enemy of the human
race; where it cannot help, it does not
harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre-
dents and does not heat or inflame the
blood but cools and purifes it. In all cases
of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con-
stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate
arrangements which affiict women, the ac-
ton of DR.. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of
grateful people voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to DR.. Kennedy; and with a
warmth and fullness of words which mere
business certificates never possess. 1t
makes no acknowledgements no crimes
breaks no hearts. In it's coming there is
hope, and in its wings there is healing.
We challenge a trial and are confident of
the result. Your druggist has it. ONE
DOLLAR a Bottle. Bear in mind the
name and address: DR.. DaUid KENNEDY,
R0ndOut. New York.

Nine. de RemUaat.

Nine. de Remusat had features 80
perfect that her contemporaries said
she was worthy to sit as a model for a
Greek goddess. The flesh Of her face
closely resembled alabaster, and yet
she was not pale and did not give the
impression of being In delicate health.
Her beauty attracted universal atten-
ton to her, no matter where she went,
and even in old age she retained most
of her good looks.

when the Negro Was created.

The Mexican Indians, as well as
those Of most Of the Central American
republics, have superstition to the
effect that the negro was made before
either the white man or the Indian or
even before the sun was created. They
account for his color by declaring that
he was made and dried in the dark.
Their own race, they say, was made in
the morning Of the first day between
daylight and sunup. On this account
they delight in a term which they ap-
ply to each other and which signifies
dawn people," The white man, "who
fears darkness and cannot stand heat"
was made, according to their belief, at
noon on the first day of creation.

principally in the willingness back Of

FIRE CLAIM CONTESTED.
Grand Forks Court Hears Suit of Ele
va$or Cononanv

Grand Forks Court Hears Suit Of EIe
vator Company.
Judge Amidon convened term of
the United States district court at
Grand Forks. The first case called
was that of the Farmers Independent
Elevator company of Denbigh against
the Insurance Company OF North
America.
The action is brought to recover an
insurance carried on an elevator and
on the grain that was destroyed by fire
about two years ago. The Edwards
Wood company held mortgage on the
grain and appears as the active plant
id in the case. The insurance company
contests payment of the amount of the
policies carried on the ground that
there was not the amount OF grain in
the elevator as claimed, and that due
diligence was not used in caring for
the grain after the fire. Two other
cases Of a similar character, but.
against another insurance company,
have resulted in verdict smuch below
what was asked for BY the company. &
The other cases viii be taken up in
the following order: Mrs. Anna Walsh
against the Great Northern railway;
D. Allman against the city OF Grand
Forks; Louis Jepkie against the North
iern Pacific. and William 3. Larson.
trustee, against Anton Eckera.

NORTH DAKOTA r. F. D. ROUTES.
Statement That the State Had 5000
Routes a Gross Blunder.

Routes Gross Blunder.
Some time ago the statement was
published that there were in North Da-
kota somewhere about 5000 rural de-
livery routes. This statement was
widely copied, but it turns out to be a
gross blunder. Congressman Mar
shall, who has been instrumental in
securing many of the routes for this
state, writes that there were on Nov.
1, 1905, 148 daily routes in the state
and 80 tri-weekly routes, making in all
1874. Service is ordered on 16 addi-
tional routes, which will make exact
ly 200 routes in the state on Jan. I,
1906.
Congressman Marshall has taken
great interest in the increase of rural
service throughout the state, and dur
ing his terms the number of routes has
increased from about five to the pres
ent number. The application of the
every-other-day service in this state
has been, due to the initiative of Mr..
Marshall

RATS IN CAVALIER COUNTY.
Invasion Of the Pests Is Now Threat.
ened,

Cavalier county is threatened with
an invasion of rats 1t is a fact not
generally known that until few years
ago these pests were unknown in this
state. They have come from the south
and their progress northward is slow.
They were abundant in Fargo several
years ago before any had made their
appearance in Grand Forks. Then peo-
pie began to find them in the interme-
diate towns, and Grand Forks at last
received it's visitation. 1t has been the
experience of most places that rats
are most troublesome about the Sec
ond or third year after their appear
ance in town. After that they either
diminish in numbers or find more Sc
cure hiding places, as they are not so
often seen. Cavalier appears now to
be in the busy stage of the rat bust

RATES FOR CONVENTION.
Railroads Give One Fare Rate for
Round Trip to Tri.State Meeting.

Railroads Give One Fare Rate for
Round Trip to Tri-State Meeting.
]. A. Johnson, secretary of the Tri.
State Grain Growers association, re-
ceived advices from the railroad com.
panies running into Fargo of the spe.
cial one-fare rate agreed upon, and the
territory, for the annual meeting of the
association, to be held in Fargo, Jan.
16, II, 10 and 10, at the Fargo opera
house. The rate will be one fare for
the round trip, no certificate required.
The limit will be announced later. Mr..
johnson says that if cases should arise
where agents decline to sell a round
trip ticket, and there are such every
year, the passenger should buy the
ticket one way and demand receipt,
so that the difficulty can be adjusted in
Fargo and the passenger returned
free. Every agent will be notified OF
the rate.
On the Milwaukee, tickets will be
sold from Montevideo, Mimi, Sioux
Falls, Mitchell and Aberdeen in South
Dakota, to Fargo.
On the Northern Pacific, from Little
Falls and Brainerd west to the Mon
tana line, and on all branches within
that territory.
On the Great Northern, from Will.
mar and Sank Center west, including
all points in the two Dakotas.
On the 500, from Glenwood, Mimi,
west and north to Fargo.
Mr.. Johnson says the contract fol-
the proceedings has been closed, that
5000 copies will be printed, every per-
SON attending the convention to re-
ceive copy, and books will be sent to
all parts of the United States. One of
the subjects which will be prominently
discussed will be the very important
and live one of drainage. That lis the
subject which President Hill of the
Great Northern wants to have heart
to-heart talk about withe the farmers,
and will come to Fargo for the pur.
pose. The outlook is that the coming
convention in many ways will over
shadow previous conventions both in
attendance and the Importance of the
subjects to be discussed. Already
practical suggestions have begun to
reach the offices of Messrs. Worst and
johnson, rejecting in wide measure
the widespread interest there is and
the fact that drainage is to be taken
up in a most exhaustive way seems to
have met with very general approval
in all sections of the trio of states.

The dead body Of George Rill, the
l6-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Rill, was found on the prairie near
the home of his parents, near Grand
Forks. The ribs in the left side over
the heart had been broken in and
death had been instantaneous.
The boy had left home on the pre-

hunt some cattle. Next morning the
horse was found in farm yard with
the saddle slipped around underneath.
The boy had undoubtedly been thrown
by the slipping of the saddle and had
been dragged and stepped on.
