Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
tenn, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss Of
memory, Inflammation, cpl
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritatcd,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
ing, strengthening and rclicv-
ing the tension upon the nerves
not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral. cocaine or similar drugs.
sick headache is hereditary in my
family. My father suffered a great
deal: and for many years have had
spells that were so severe that 1 was

Texas Mob Burns Negro
At The Stake.
Outraged Citizens of White Sui
phur Take Fiend's Life for
Outrage Upon Society.

sulphur Springs, lex, Aug.
II. Tom Williams, mIlatto
negro, made an attempt to assault
II young white girl in pasture
near this town about 6 O'Clock
this morning. Three hours luler
he was blazing mass in the pub
lie equare at Sulphur Springs
The whole proceeding was rs
orderly as such proec' dings over
are. There was no excitement
md the lyuching was participa-
ted in 10y several hundred people
In less than four hours after the
assault tho tragedy had ended
and the town had returned to its
accnstC med vocations and the in
cident was ovoI.
Ona farm about two miles
southwest of town, Mary Chllds
lives with her mother and sisters.
About o'clock this morning
she started, as was her wont, to
the pasture to drive up the cows
TO the milking lot. She had
found the cows unl was returning
with them when Williams accost-
cd her. He took hold of the Girl
and the lattcr realizing her predic-
nment, told the ne gro he had
release her ms her SISTERS were
nearby. This evidently frightened
the negro and the girl seeing that
he hesitntcd set up scream and
Williams loosened his hold on her
and ran off as fast rs he could.
The girl made her way home and
told what had happened Officers
and aposse started after the ne
gro and lie was soon caught uboul
a mile and half east of town.
He was taken ai once to the scene
Of the attempted assault and was
fully identified hy his intended
victim, who told in detail of her
experience with him. The mob
took the negro from the officers.
As soon as the mob arrived at the
public square the tools of itstrade
were provided.
From his head to his heels the
negro was saturated with oil. A
match was applied to the feet and
a blaze shot high into the air.
The mob stood by and watched
the flames devour the negro. The
fire was kept going for awhile
bat it soon burned itself out and
the body was cnt down. Then
oil was poured on it and the
blaze started aflesh, the body
was almost entirely ineinerated.
Then the mob dispersed and in
half an hour no sign remained OF
the gruesome tragedy that had
been enacted nor of the victim
whose death had been encompass
ed so quickly after his crime.
The relatives of the negro were
permitted to take what was left of
the body. They scraIed up the
remains and took them away.
Later they will be buried by
them.

Regard Japan's Terms as
Exceedingly Hard.
Cession Of Sakhalin and Cost Of
the War Are Main Features.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10
Reimbursement for the expenses
sustained in the prosecution Of the
war and the ccSsion Of the Island
of oakhalin constitute the main
features of the peace conditions
handed by Baron komura to Nj.
Wittc at the conclusion Of the
morning session Of the plcnipotcn-
tiarics in the general stores build
ing OF the Portsmouth navy yard.
The word indemnity is carefully
avoided, the term employed being
reimbursement for the cost of
the war No sum is fixed, the
amount being distinctly adjourned
for mutual adjustment between the
the two countries after the Japa-
ncse expenditure has been ascer-
taincd. These are the two all i'm
portant conditions and those which
the Russian plcnipotentiaries find
absolutely unacceptable. Inacccp-
table as they are, however, it can
be stated that these two principal
conditions did not come as a sur
prise to the Russian rlenipoten-
tiarics. The friendly fashion in
which Baron komura explained
the conditions before handing them
to M. Wittc, and the avoidance
Of the use the word indemnity"
IN the presentation Of Japan bill
for the scost Of the war without
fixing a sum leaves the way oper
for negotiations and constitutes
the main hope that final agree
ment is possible. Certainly the
danger of sudden rupture no
matter what the ultimate result
may be, is prcclnded by today'S
developments. The other terms
arc substantially what the world
expected and with one or perhaps
two exceptions CO u d proba-
bly, be entertained as bases Of
negotiations They included the
following:

principal conditions which cannot
be accepted under Mr.. Whites in

Intensive Farming.

A man in Glenn County, Cali
fornia, named Samuel Cleeks, has
lived for thirty years on the pro-
ducts of single acre and saved
$400 year besides. Now we hear
of Anthony P. Canny of Pottsville,
Pa, who has recently gone to
Colorado for his health and having
read of Mr.. Cleeks has determined
to repeat his work by living on one
acre in Colorado, and he expects to
support himself and a family of
three by raising fine plants and
flowers. Of course there is irriga-
tion in both cases, and also intelli-
gent, intensive cultivation. Not an
inch of the acre is wasted, no weeds
ever sap it's fertility and no neglect
of cultivation is ever suffered It
is a great demonstration of the folly
of spreading out over a twenty
section farm" and barely making
expenses at it. The Kohinoor
diamond is not so large as Pixies
Peak but may be as valuable.

Bad Man Sentenced.

John Carter, who committed
daring burglary at Karlstad in
Kittson county last week, was
sentenced to ten years in states
prison by Judge Grindeland at the
term in court just held in Hallock.
The man was evidently profession
nal. He cut out a window pane
and entered the depot during the
night armed with big knife, broke
into the money drawer from which
he took about 500. 90, broke into the
ticket case from which he abstract
ed sdverai tickets, one being from,
Karlstad to Minneapolis, which he
stamped. Then he went up stairs
where the agent was sleeping with
his family and had a large amount
in bills on his person, and stole his
clothes and a watch. While there
an alarm clock which had been
set to wake the agent for an incom-
ing train went off and soaring the
burgar away, before he could secure
the money. The culprit was after
wards caught and brought before
the court then in session.

BETTER STREETS
City Council Contracts for 100
Carloads Of Gravel for I'M
proving the Streets.

The main business streets of
Warren, which during rainy per-
iods usually are in a deplorable
condition owing to the heavy traffic
they must bear, will be improved
by the application of a thick layer
of gravel. The city council at a
meeting held Thursday evening de-
cided to enter into a contract with
the Great Northern to haul in 100
car loads of gravel, during the
summer. That quantity of gravel
spread thickly on the most traffick-
ed streets will surely improve their
condition very materially. This is
step in the right direction and
though it is an expense now, it will
in the end save the city a lot of
money for repair work. AS it is
now, lot of street work is wasted
effort. The street commissioner
may have worked hard for days to
get the streets in shape, and the
next day heavy rain may set in
and undo the work, which then has
to be done over again. Let US
commend the council for their ac-
ton in this matter. Good graveled
streets will improve the looks of
our town a hundred per cent.

land in blue grass, which is benefited
by a periodical overflow. Such lands

FOR BEAUTIFUL EYES.
How One Can Make Them Appear
Smaller or Larger and What Col
ors Enhance Different Orbs.

Letting the eyes remain as nature
put them there" is very good thing.
But it is no harm to experiment just
a very little with them now and then,
says writer in Brooklyn Eagle
One must experiment, not with the
eyes as much as with the lids, and
the complexion around the eyes, for it
is very easy to injure the eye ball and,
when one does so, one injuries also the
sight.
In chat London belle disclosed
some of her eye secrets.
My eyes are beautiful" said she,
because know how to make them so.
They are a deep blue. And for that
reason I generally wear sapphires.
Sapphires, worn with blue eyes, will
bring out the color CT your eyes.
IF your eyes are turquoise, then
wear turquoise for jewels. The light
blue of the stone will match the spot
in your eyes.
Here is rule TOR any and every
woman to follow. Let your brooch
match the spots in your eyes. 1t will
bring out their color and make your
eyes seem larger and brighter.
women who wear pearl collars
might do worse. But it would be
good thing if there could be pendant
to match the spots in the eyes. And
there are other things to be consid-
cred when you want to make your
eyes pretty.
Don't forget that to be beautiful the
eyes must be large. Now. you cannot
hollow out the eye socket. And you
cannot pencil the eyes without obser-
vation, and you cannot paint them
longer, nor larger, nor can you darken
the lids. Nothing looks worse than the
made-up eye and nothing shows more
quickly the utter carelessness Of the
wearer. But you can treat the eyes
and make them larger in that way.
'The eyes can be treated by making
the face thinner. And this is the way
to do it: If the face is too fat it
means that the body is too fat and
that the weight must be reduced. This
is always very simple and the rules for
1t are diet and exercise. No one diet
ing and exercising can fail to reduce
the weight.
reduced, the face will still be too fat
around the eyes. And this means that
the eyes are bloated. The flesh is
puffed up. There must be something
done to reduce the Inflammation, or
bloat.
Holding a warm cloth over the
eyes, not a hot cloth, but a medium
warm one, dipped in warm boracic
acid, will often reduce the swelling
around the eyes. 1t should be kept
warm for about half an hour. Again
the swelling may be reduced by going
without meal. A heavy meal will
cause puffiness under the eyes; and
the woman who eats big dinner and
goes to bed early, will waken with
sacs under her eyes enough to scare
away spooks. There is something very
ghastly about these big dark bags be-
meath the eyes.
Going without a meal will Danish
these eye sacs and make the eyes
much prettier. Don't be afraid Of get
ting hollow-eyed by hunger. 1t will
take some tine for a fat-faced woman
to become hollow in the eyes through
going without her food She will go
back to the table and eat long before
hollows begin to show underneath her
eyes.
How do l keep my lids in such
good condition? BY resting them" "
concluded this woman.

GREAT IS MINNESOTA
In Location, Climate and Soil
the Most Favored in
the Union.

In his pamphlet on 'OppOrtuni-
ties in Minnesota" State Auditor S.
q. lverson has the following to say:
A little more than FIVE decades
ago the northwest was an undefn-
ed territory lying north and west of
the Allegheny mountains. The
states of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan stood at the outposts of
civilization, marking the limit OF
advance of the hardy pioneer in the
opening and settlement of the great
west.
THE New Northwest is a vast
region which has developed within
the last thirty years and to-day
comprises a mighty empire, lying
north, west and southwest of the
splendid cities of St. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth, with it's west
edge slipping into the Pacific ocean.
No part Of the habitable globe be
gins to compare with this vast re-
glon in climate, natural resources,
production and opportunities.
America today depends upon this
new northwest for the larger por-
tion OF its food products, it's miner
ais and lumber. All fora reach
their highest state of perfection in
food quality when grown near to
the northern limits of cultivation.
Following the law, the grains and
vegetables grown in Minnesota are
superior to those of any other re-
gion in the world. The famous
No. L hard wheat of this state has
sent its fame to all parts of the earth
and failure of crops is unknown.
So, in the development Of the new
northwest, it has been found that
not only cereals, but all other food
products, reach their highest per-
feetion in nutritiye qualities
throughout this region. Minnesota
occupies commanding position in
the heart of the new northwest.
No state in the union has forged a.
head, increased in population and
developed so rapidly in wealth,
population, production and educa-
ton. Its broad prairies and virgin
woodlands have been steadily filing
up with class of sturdy, indus
trious, energetic settlers. Thriv-
ing, hustling, bustling, prosperous
cities and villages are to be found
in every direction. But great as
the growth aud progress which has
been made, large portion of the
state is as yet but in the morning of
its development. The state of Min
nesota contains an area of $4,000
square miles, being one-eighth larg-
er than Ohio and Indiana combined.
More than $500, 900 acres of it's area
is water surface. There are more
than 10, 900 lakes within it's borders,
which are the sources of innumer-
able streams, tributary to the larger
and more important rivers flowing
through the state. Reports by the
government weather bureau show
an average rainfall Of about 20
inches. All portions of the state
are well watered, droughts are un-
known; there is no need of irriga-
ton in Minnesota.
