LONG DISTANCE
LINE BUILDING

Workmen have begun at the west
city limits of jamestown to erect
poles and fill the gap for a first class
telephone system to connect with Bis
marck. The work of putting in the
lines has already extended as far east
as Sterling, and, with large force of
men at work at both ends Of the line,
it is expected that the connections
will be made to the state capitol in
about four weeks. The line will be
squipped in first-class manner in every
particular. Col. r. HI. Hankinson,
is in the city and has charge OF
the preliminary arrangements at this
end of>the line. AT Mckenzie on the
Northern Pacific main line the new
phone system will be extended as far
south as Linton, from which place II
is understood that connections will
be made with South Dakota points
Copper wire and the best of materials
of all kinds will be used in the new
line. Connections will be made In
Jamestown with the main line Of the
Northwestern telephone company.
This will be one Of the greatest con
veniences for both the people OF this
part OF the state as we'll as for resi-.
dents Of the entire state where tele
phone connections can be had. 1t is ;

State Crop-Summary.

Following is the North Dakota crop
summary for the week ending Mon
day, Sept. 4, 1905, as sent out from
Bismarck by Station Director Bron-
Son;
"The fore part Of the week was hot
and dry, the warmest weather of the
year being experienced in the central
part Of the state at that time. The
latter part was cold, with light to
heavy rains in all sections, stopping
or delaying all work most of the last
three days. Nearly all Of the grain
now remaining uncut is dead ripe and
shelling quite badly, while that which
has been cut, is suffering some from
being alternately wet and dried while
in the shock. The rainfall seems to
have been the heaviest in the Red
River valley, where the ground was
already so soaked by previous recent
rains that machines could not get in
the fields.
"Wheat harvest is partially fin
ished In the.southern, and mostly fin
ished in the central and western por-
tions. In the north and northeastern
parts of the state, where cutting be-
gan later than it did in other sections,
it is fairly we'll underway; in some
places most of it has been cut, and in
others cutting has just commenced
but with good weather, the most OF
the crop will he in the shock or stack
at the close Of this week. Some
thrashing has been done, and the
yields are reported as being disap
pointing.
"All the early oats, rye and barley
have been cut and great deal o
them thrashed; some late oats are
yet uncut. A little early flax ha'
been cut, and the most of the crop ii
ripening fast, still there are tield
that are green and have justs finished
blossoming; good part ofthe'crop ha:
been affected by wilt, but not serious
| ly, and an excellent yield is expected.
"Corn, although it made rapic
growth the fore part of the week dur
ing the hot weather, is not yet out OF
danger from frost, and in most sec
| tions needs about ten days good
warm weather to mature it.

To Keep Rid of Moths.

This is a season of the year when
provident housewives have all the
closets thoroughly renovated, as it is
the month in which the moths do their
work. Everything should be removed
from the closet, all BOXES opened and
their contents carefully examined. Any
thing in the shape of wool must be
hung in the open for a few hours,
thoroughly brushed and wrapped up
in a lean piece of cloth, several moth
balls being inserted in the package.
Nothing is more wholesome for a closet
than CalCimine.
1t should be allowed to dry thor
Shelves and drawers should be remov-
ed and thoroughly cleansed. 1t is even
better if possible to treat them to sew
eral coats Of fresh paint, as there iS
nothing that kills moths or vermin
generally sooner than fresh paint.
In addition to this thorough clean
ing many housewives paint the crew
of turpentine or with oil of cedar. But
these are really not necessary if moths
are not discovered in the closet.
This is. as we'll, the month to put
away winter clothes. Naturally, If the

A Former Pronounced DyspeptlC tie NOW
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnZzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong digcs-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. Il was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, l have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have peer a tragic one When dis.
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
Intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain o,
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner'
vousness, insomnia, or any Of the Other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, Of course, a great aid il
forwarding recovery once begun, and

Eat" ray be obtained by any one wh'
makes a request for it by writing to tn

CLEARING HOUSE FOR INDIANS.
Agent at Muskoeee Handles More Than
100000 a Year of Tribal Money.

Kansas City Journal: A vast amount
of business passes through the Union
Indian agency at Muskogee. Indian
Territory, every day. Fentress Wis
dom, clerk in charge of the agency,
says that it is now sending out an
average of 900 letters a day and re-
ceiving fully as many. Some weeks
as high as 1000 letters are sent out.
The Indian agency performs many of
the functions of a big bank or clear
ing house. 1t is estimated that more
than 81, 900, 900 passes through the
hands of the indian agent Zach year,
some of which he handles twice. This
does not include money paid out for
alaries or running expenses of the
agency, but merely the funds which
are intrusted to him arising from tribal
Mr.. Wisdom estimates that the
agency at Muskogee handles as much
business as all the other Indian
agencies in the United States combin-
ed. 1t handles the finances of five of
the most powerful and highly civilized
of indian tribes, som of which are
immensely wealthy and MOVE of them
lacking revenues.
In the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tons the common funds OF the two
tribes receive big revenues from the
coal and asphalt lands, as we'll as from
the Oil and gas fields. These revenues
arise largely from leases and royalties.
They are placed in the hands OF the
Indian agent to go into the educational
funds of the * nations. Vast sums
of money also flow INTO the Golfers of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
from the sale of town sites and town
lots. This year nearly Sl,O00,0OO has
been placed to the credit of the Indian
agent to be paid per capita to the citi-
ZenS of the two nations. A large ad-
di1ional sum will be placed to the
credit of these nations from the sale
of segregated coal lands, which will be
distributed by the Indian agent.
The heaviest revenues in the Greek
nation come from interest on bonds
representing loans to different states
and paying 4 and 8 per cent interes1
annually. The nation receives $l25,-
600 interest annually on these bonds
The revenues from mineral royalties
