Do You Want to Know
What You Swallo W ?

There is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION 1t is but natural that one
should have some interest In the compo.
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add TO
the we'll earned reputation Of his medi-
cines, DR.. R. V. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. W
has "taken time by the forelock," as II
were, and Is publishing broadcast llst
of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the "Golden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
stomach tonic, blood purifier and heart
regulator; also of his "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement. on
the part OF Dr.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed Of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities. OF all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
DR.. Pierce's medicines. A copy OF this
little book is mailed free to any. one de-
string to learn more concerning. the valu-
able native, medicinal plants which enter
into the composition Of DR.. Pierce's med
icines. Address DR.. Pierce as above.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet; are tt tiny Sus
ulate and invigorate Stomach. Liver and
cure constipation. One or two each day for
a laxative and regulator, three OF four for an
active cathartic. Once tried always in favor.

JAPANESE EXCLUSION PROBLEM.

David starr Jordan, president Of L.

in the World To-Day for December, as
saying
THE present trouble into which the

gone. Doubtless the coming Of Secre-
tary Metcalf and President Roosevelt's
interest may lead to an amicable un-
derstahding. In a civilized country it
is no crime to belong to another race,
and there can be no liberation of the
excitement of race riots i'm this cOun-
try. 1t is even more important that a
nation should be decent than that il
should be white. II is. moreover, the
sign Of a brave. just people that It
should treat all its neighbors alike. in
sulting none. expressing none, and
cringing to none
1T can not be denied that great
dangers. as well as great advantages
lie in our relations with Asia. We
have. on the Pacific coast, no economic
asset more valuable than the good will
Of China and Japan. on the other
hand. there is real danger that our
civilization may suffer enormously
from the overflow of the supernuous
japanese and Chinese.
q believe that exclusion laws should
be jointly framed so that the people
we. deal with win not be Inundated by
them. Any SOFT of exclusion law is an
evil An overflow Of people Of less in
selligence. less self-reli2nce and less

Japan. China, Poland. Africa. or else
where is also an evil. II we choose
exclusion acts as the lesser evil. we

must always let our neighbors save

less.

Bemidji Pioneer, June %: A sad
case of accidental death by drowning
occurred Saturday afternoon at La
porte, when Clarence Barwise, after
a struggle Of three hours, finally gave
up the fight for life and sank in the
deep waters of Lake Kabekona.
The scene of the accident Is deep
water lake two or three miles from
Laporte and at the place of the drown
ing the water is 100 feet deep.
The young man, wit ha companion,
went out in boat in the morning and
in a little scuffle the boat was tipped
over and both boys were thrown into
the water. Clarence started to swim
ashore but after struggle of three
hours was seized with cramps.
The other young man grappled the
boat and after about two and half
hours succeeded in saving himself.
A searching party consisting of five
boats and about twenty men went at
once to the place of the drowning and
after continuous search the body
was brought to the surface late Sun
day afternoon.
The body will be brought to the city
this evening and is in charge of Will
liam Barwise, an uncle of the dead
boy.
Mrs. T. Lilly, mother of the young
man, is nearly overcome with grief
over. the loss of her son. The funeral
services will be held tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock at the Presbyterian
church

TRADE OF UNITED
STATES WITH
AFRICA
Decrease of Exports Shown |
Report of Departmental In
teresting Figures.

Trade of the United States with
Africa in the fiscal year 1905 aggre-
gated about 80 million dollars, the
smallest total since 1890. The COM
merce of the United States with that
continent reached its highest level in
1908, when the total was 81 million
dollars, compared with 30h millions
In 1900, IA millions in 1895, and 10
millions in 1890. Importations from
Africa in 1905 were valued at liz mil
lion dollars, an increase of nearly
millions compared with the preceding
year and of 4 millions compared with
1895. Exports to Africa in 1905 ag-
gregated 1872 millions, against 24A
millions in 1904 and millions in 1895.
The decrease in our exports to
Africa is but reflection of the re-
duction In its general imports since
1903. ImportatiOns into the Cape of
Good Hope, the chief commercial sec
ton, have decreased from 1854 million
dollars in 1903 to "a millions in 1905,
reduction of 70 million dollars in
two years. Meanwhile Egypt's I'M
ports advanced from SO million dol
lars in 1908 to 1861 millions in 1905,
but as our trade with that country
consists almost exclusively of imports,
the growth of "a millions in Egypt's
purchases from foreign countries did
not affect the volume of our expOrta-
lions to that market While there has
been a check in imports into Africa,
exports show growth, those from
Cape of Good Hope (including raw
gold) having increased from 107 mil
lion dollars in 1903 to 143 and one
third millions in 1905; and those of
Egypt from 96h millions in 1903 20
100 and twO-thirds in 1905, and an
even larger growth compared with
figures for decade earlier. The re-
cent falling off in imports as compared
with other years since 1900 would
seem to indicate that the extraordin-
airy purchases of machinery, agricul-
tural implements, builders hardware,
railway, and other material immedi-
ately following the resumption of in
dustry at the close of the war have
returned to normal conditions; while
the enlarged exports are due to in
creased production and consequent in
creased expectations of gold and dia-
monds. Gold production in South
Africa has increased from 1888, 900
In 1899, the record year prior to the
war, to $108,375 900 in 1905, the high
est total ever reached, while evidence
OF greatly increased diamond produc-
ton Is seen in the fact that diamond
exports from the Cape of Good Hope
increased from 20 million dollars in
1899 to over 81 millions in 1904.
Despite the fact that both imports
and exports in our trade with Africa
show a decrease in 1905 as compared

DISASTER TO MONTAGU.
British Battleship Endangered in the
British Channel.

British Battlesh1p Endangered In the
British Channel.
The recent British naval manOeu-
vres were preceded on May 80 by two
accidents in the dense fog in English
waters. Torpedo boats No. 81 and No.
1OS were in collision of Plymouth, and
one of them had to be lowed to dry
dock. A far more serious disaster
was that of the magnificent new first
class steel battleship Montagu, which
went on the sharp rocks at Shutter
Point, Lundy Island, in the Bristol
channel, and for several days was
threatened with total destruction.
The chief danger arose from severe
gale which came up two days after
the accident and temporarily stopped
the work of lighterage. Shutter Point
forms the south corner of the island,
and is mass of sharp granite. No
lives were lost nor were any of the
crew injured. In the gale immense
seas washed over the battleship, bend
ing and breaking her steel work.
The Montagu was launched in 1903
and cost $7,500,O00. She is commanded
by Captain Thomas B. Adair and car
ries $50 officers and men. Her arma-
ment includes four 12-inch guns,
twelve 6-inch guns and twelve 12-
Founders and she has four torpedo
tubes. The batleship has from 6 to
IA inches of armor plate, twin screws
and a speed of 18 knots an hour.

Circns NOVELTY,

The new spectacle, "The Field of the.
Cloth of Cold" feature OF Ringing
Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows this
season, In Its magnificent investiture
and massive entirety, Is the grandest
conception in the history of circus
achievement. The days of knight err
rantry, when chivalry was in flower,
are pictured in fascinating splendors.
Gallant youth, lissom maidenhood,
heroic warrior, proud athlete, religious
enthusiast, devoted matron, abject SER
want, barbaric voluptuary-all the
characteristic types of the romantic
and tragic sixteenth century, pass in
acting review in the blazing spectacle.
Twelve hundred characters are in the
great cast and ballet of 800 and a
chorus of 200 young voices are en-
ployed. The musical accompaniment
is furnished by band of fifty instru-
ments. The stage is larger than the
average circus arena, and $500 cos
tunes of costliest design and fabric
are worn. The special scenery re-
quires a special train. Never before
was SO much money invested for ex-
ADDITIONAL purposes, and this spirit of
enterprise, wisely directed, is just
what makes the Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows twice the big
gest and UNNECESSARILY the best in ex-
istence.
The wonderful Ringing Brothers
Shows will. exhibit in Grand Forks on
Monday, July 16, and the magnificent
street pageant will leave the show
grounds promptly at 10 o'clock on the
morning of show day.
Numbered reserved seats, at the
same price charged at the ticket
wagons, can be reserved on the date
OF exhibition at Schlaberg and Crit

 Moody's stand.
ATTORNEY GENERALS PLAN

Washington. June 22.--The formal an- nouncement to the public of the Gov ernment to prosecute the Standard oil Company was made today by Attorney General Moody. It appears from his statement that the proceedings in the nrst instance will be had under the Elkins law which prohibits rebates in interstate commerce. The Attorney General, however, gives notice that in all probability should the tnvestiKation justify 1t, he will bring further action under the sherman anti-trust law.
 He will also take steps to insure against the continuance by he company or determinations In trade and trans portation which are not now subject 10 prosecution. but are especially provid- ed against in the pending rate bill The Attorney Generals statement follows:
 After full consideration of all the information now available Including the report of the Commissioner of Cor porations and the evidence taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission. have reached the conclusion that criminal proceedings against the Stan dard oil Company should be begun fin certain cases where there appears to have been violation of the laws reg ulating interstate commerce and pro- hibiting rebates and other unlawful determinations.
 
 Accordingly such proceedings will be begun at once in the appropriate judicial districts.
 These cases are regarded and will be treated as of importance, as ik seems clear that insofar as the stan dard oil Company has obtained monop- oIistic control of interstate trade, that control has been in large degree made possible by discriminations in trans portation rates or facilities, the dis criminations being n some cases in violation of the law and in other eases, though injurious to the public welfare. not in violation Of the law and there fore subject only to such correction as may be afforded by the railway rate legislation now pending in Congress.
 VI shall continue the investigation ! of affairs of the Standard oil Company l and Of such complaints as have been l or may be brought to the attention l of this department, with tho view of ascertRinfng whether there has been any violation of the antitrust act or of any other federal law. This investi- gation will require assistance and have employed as special counsel, Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul. who was one of the counsel for the government in the recently terminated litigation against the western paper organiza- tion and Charles B. Morrison of Chi- cago, now United States attorney for the northern district of Illinois. Mir. Morrison will in the near future resign his place as District Attorney
 The course of action have stated has received the approval of the presi- dent and all the members of the cabi- net"
