GIRL VICTIM Of
DYNAM|TERS

GRAND FORKS, Nov. 20-This
region is greatly excited by the dy-
namiting of the Canadian hotel at
Niagara. Louise King, age IS, and
an unknown Italian were killed.
Several persons weer injured. The
girl was standing near her mother
in the hotel when the explosion
came. Her body was torn to
pieces. Three boxes of dynamite
stolen from a store here were
used. One side of the building
was blown out and fire destroyed
the remainder. 1t is supposed that
the outrage was committed by
members of a party of Italian and
Frenchmen who engaged in a free
fight and later threatened to
destroy the hotel.

Poindexter's.
F. Y. Clark, farmer living near
Granite lake, in the vicinity of
Cheney, was called from the new
list and qualified as to an opinion

Gus and susceptible to sympathy.
The court asked as to the state of
his health and wanted to know if
this nervousness would unfit him
for duty He said it would not. He
was passed by both prosecution
and defense and then followed the
prosecutions acceptance of the
panel.

PARIS, Nov. 20.--Count Boni is
missing. Caricatured and held up
as the joke of Europe, the noble"
ex-husband of Anna Gould has
been shamed.
At his apartments 1t was stated
the count had gone away for a

preciating public sentiment, has
deserted him. Others think he is
lodging creditors.
Everyone believes Madame Gould

that she could not take her chill

Here's a chance to help make a
real Thanksgiving.
Out at 21S South Hogan st.
there is a woman sick and help
less. Her husband died lately at
hospital after a long illness and
will be buried today.
Sharing the woman's distress is
three months old baby and three
other children, older but too small
to be of any assistance.
The baby is sadly in need of
clothing this cold weather, and the
other Titles ones are nearly as
needy. The family has been de-
prived of the bare necessities Of
life, and the mothers condition
has been greatly aggravated by
the worry and woe she has gone
through while her family was
suffering at home and her husband
as helpless as herself in the hos
pital. And the babies were left
there with her to do the bebst
they could.
Mrs. J. Funseth is the woman s

place where they live on time, but

lily commanded has gone to pay

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and verifies it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, Irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-d down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, ofttimes, with a debiitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is a most efficient remedy.
1t Is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system of
