ANNOUNCEMENT.

LaFcllette, N. D.. March u, 1906.
To the Voters Of Ward County:
Believing that every citizen has the
right to submit his name as candidate
for any office within the gift Of the
American people, I respectfully tender
them my name as candidate from
southern Ward county for the nomina-
ton OF the Office Of Clerk of the District
Court, on the Republican ticket. As
the primary election affords every citi-
zen an opportunity to express his indi-
vidual preference for the candidate of
any Office, believe in 10 combinations,
no trading and no caucuses. l will
therefore stand or fall independent Of
oil combinations and appealing to the
individual voters of all classes and all
factions. My platform as candidate
and my policy if elected shall be based
upon the following propositions: That
an officer, paid by the taxes collected
from the people, should devote his whole
time to the work of his office; that in no
case has he the right to spend his time
selling rope machines or anything else;
and. whereas, it is known fact that
the present Cle4k of the Court has not
devoted his time to the work of his Office:
and that, by reason thereof, two clerks
have been employed and, at times. three
have been required to do the work. If
elected, l propose and promise to devote
nv whole time to the duties of the Office
aud dispense with at least one clerk. be-
lieving that If two clerks can do the
work without tho assistance of the Clerk
of the Court, that one clerk could do
the work with the assistance Of the
Clerk of the Court. Believing in an
honest, economical administration Of
public affairs, l respectfully submit my
candidacy to the people.
Very truly,
Atom Geo. J. Smith.

wAyEEHA'S RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY
THAT DppENN Solely on FAITH FOR,
MtTERIAL SUPPORT AND VENTS IT'S
FEPYOR In ACROBkTfCS


Perhaps the most remarkable OF all
religious colonies that accept the Bible
as their only guide has been establish
ed at Waukesha, Wis. In the mineral
water belt the colonists are known as
the Holy Jumpers" legally they are
Incorporated as the metropolitan
Church Association" and for everyday
purposes they call themselves members
of the Holiness" band.
In sense the colony Is communistic,
but its underlying principle is opposed
to the standards of business. No com
mercial or industrial feature is inter-
woven in the enterprise. There are
eighty acres of corn and vegetables, but
this will not support the hundreds who
have identified themselves with the
movement There is a printing estab-
lishment, but no profits on the books
or pamphlets.
THE Lord will provide" assert the
colonists, who devote all their time to
religion and unmaterial matters, with
out providing for feeding, clothing or
housing Yet the leaders In the move
ment were formerly shrewd and sue
cessful business men, while the rank
and file are in intelligence above the
average of the kind who usually iden-
tify themselves with religious craze
For the time being the Holy Jump
ers are a great attraction at Waukesha
and a marvel to every sober-minded
person who visits them. Duke NJ. Far
son, the most extraordinary person in
religion" in the country to-day, stands
at the head Of the Jumpers. He amass-
ed a fortune in the bond business In
Chicago and was regarded as mil
lionaire. He drifted from the Injuries
and extravagances of city life deeper
and deeper into religious matters until
finally he sold out what was left Of his
business and disposed of his real estate,
devoting his time to spiritual matters
A Methodist with inclinations toward
shouting" he occasionally filled the
pulpits of prominent churches in Chi
cago until they came time when the
exuberance of his joy caused him and
his friends to commit disturbing ex-
cesses, and then they organized what
was constituted Metropolitan Church.
into which they have put their money
as we'll as their faith. The organ.za-
ton increased and as they feared po-
lice interference in Chicago, they moved
to Waukesha, where they bought the old

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham.
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

Dancing tor English Cadets.

Dancing is now considered n necessary
adjunct to the naval cadets education,
and daily, with the exception of Satur-
day and, of course, Sunday, lessons of
twenty minutes duration are given to ca
diets at Dartmouth by order of the ad-
miralty. Dancing greatly improves the
carriage, and also very beneficial to
health, and it Is for these reasons that
the authorities in Whitehall have decid-
ed that instruction in dancing shall be
regular feature of the curriculum Of the
naval cadet. He is not being taught
how TO dance with the object of adding
to his accomplishments from the social
point of view. Dancing is regularly
taught the cadets of the United States
army at West Point academy, and it is
probable that our military cadets may
soon be given the same instruction

not used figuratively. Dozens and
sometimes scores of the worshipars
break into perpendicular dance, which
consists of jumping straight up and
down with most marvellous rapidity.
The jump is not merely the raising of
the jumper on his or her toes, but q
clean, fat-footed jump with both feet
several inches from the ground.

dervish who will learn how to stand

accomplishment that will surpass his
old-time calling.

pronounced of the Jumpers beliefs

Big Tows on Mississippi.

The towboats on the Mississippi river
know how to tow. The Sprague went
up from Memphis the other day with
sixty-two pieces in its tow-the largest
ever taken up the river by a single
boat in one trip, The boat had in its
tow fortysix coal boats, twelve barges
and four fuel flats, making the grand
total of sixty-two pieces, the largest
by far that was ever attempted before.
1t took the boat over an hour to pass
Memphis, but while it padded along
slowly it's movement was sure and the
same slow rate of speed was maintained
from the time the boat was sighted be-
low the bridge until it was lost to view
around the Mound City.-Baltimore Sun

General Zebulon Pixies explorations
Of 1906 1907 had political consequences
which neither Pike nor. anybody else
! in his day could foresee, says the Re-
view Of Reviews. Although he was
well treated by the Spaniards, his cap
ture by them intensified the desire of
Americans, especially in the west, to
drive Spain out of Mexico. Written
in 1908 and published in 1870 his re-
cos natural resources, showed the
weakness of Spain's hold on that coun-
try, and urged her expulsion by an
American army IL Bonaparte should
seize the Spanish throne, which Bona
parte did while Pike was writing, and
held it for six years.

Long, and other adventures from our
side of the line over into Texas and
other parts of Mexico. More import
ant still, it melted Moses Austin to get

toms victory over Santa Anna at San

of the Texas republic.
BY the annexation of Texas in 1915
the United States inherited Texas

this led to the war of 1S46-1S4S, which,

NERVOUS DEBILITY
a Scranton Woman Tells How DR..
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strong.

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It 10 characterized by mental depression,
fits Of the 'blues," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patient eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that 1t is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies IN tor'Hg up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
rem street, Scranton, Pa, says: Some
years ago became greatly reduced IN
health and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that / felt
wretched. Icould not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid In the morning as was when
went to bed. Ny head ached In the
morning and Ditch there was q pain in
my right side which was worse when /
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now have no more
pain i'll nay side, no more headaches, l
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt Of price, 80 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
