heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in Kidney trouble.

Northern Completing Viaduct.

Prof Father from the University Of
Minnesota, met with the city council
Monday evening, and discussed the
water supply conditions of Minot. Mr..
Flather was hired to look after the
city's work by the old council but it
seems that he never did much except to
analyze some water, and give some ad-
vice relative to where to sink some
wells. Now that the city has three
wells sunk near the Minot creamery, the
water being excellent in them, Prof.
Flather suggests that pumps be placed
in those wells and an attempt be made
to pump them dry. If after five hours
pumping, they do not 60 dry, then he
suggests that we'll "a feet in diameter
and forty EIGHT feet deep be dug. This
should give the city an adequate water
supply. The wells will be tested i'm
mediately.
The Great Northern is now at work
building the approaches to the viaduct
at Ward and First streets and the
county will soon advertise for bids for
the construction of the north approach
of the viaduct so that within few
weeks the viaduct will be in use.
