YEARS RECORD.

of live stock, grain, coal, brick
and other products from railway
parts in Stark and Billings
counties are interesting. 1t gives
a little idea of the wealth pro-
ducing power of this sectlon of
the state,
Our figures Of live stock ship
ments, compiled from the North
ern Pacific records kept at the
different stations in the counties
named, show that 1900 more
cattle were shipped to market in
1905 than for the previous year,
and these figures do not include
$500 cattle that we're shipped
from Evarts on account of the
shortage of cars at Dickinson and
points in the territory covered in
this article. An increase of 3d.
600 sheep is also indicated, not
withstanding the fact that there
was a strong tendency to carry
over mature sheep on account of
the high price of wool expected
in 1906. Wool and brick ship
ments also show large increase.
Some people have an idea that
because the large catt]o ranches
are a thing of the past. there are
fewer cattle for shipment each
succeeding year, but such is not
the case Almost every farmer
has a few eattle-25 to 50 head
and there are many settlers in
this country raising some grain.
who number their cattle by the
hundreds. So that when the
marketing easo comes around
the fine native beef cattle are
gathered and the live stock ship
ments are surprisingly large.
Prices for cattle were a little
better than in 1904. Native
cattle, Herefords, Galloways and
Shorthorns raised ON the nutri-
tious grasses of this section, al
ways bring good prices. The
highest price paid in 1905 for
grass fed beef, live weight, was
S5.75 per cwt. and at this price
R. II. Johns On of Dickinson, sold
one steer in Chicago that weighed
1850 lbs, the net price being
5000. w. l.. Richards also
sold one steer, 80 lbs. lighter
weight, at s5.75, The prevailing
prices, however, for this class Of
cattle, we're between 81 and S.
per cwt. and the average weight
between 1900 to 400 lbs.
In 1902 a carload of 3 year old
native Hereford steers raised by
Geo. Harkins in Hettinger county,
sold in Chicago at $40 per cwt
live weight, the average per
steer being 1924 lbs. The cattle
had grazed their living on the
prairie summer and winter and
never tasted grain. This is the
highest price ever paid in any
market for grass fed cattle.
Western North Dakota also holds
the palm for the heaviest range
steer ever marketed in Chicago.
The animal was raised By w. G.
Coils in Billings county and in
1904 tipped the scales in Chicago
at 1870 lbs. and was sold at S5,35
per cwt.
1t is estimated that the purely
range country like Montana,
Wyoming and Texas will not ship
another season as many cattle as
in 1905. by 50 per cent, conse-
quently beef cattle should bring
good prices next fall, and the
growers from this section will be
on hand with the usual supply.
Mutton sold at the best prices
ever known last fall. On Aug.
16, H. ]. Schultz of Dickinson,
sold 2 cars of mutton sheep on
the Chicago market at $3.50 per
ewt. which was the highest price
ever received for grass fed sheep

The best local sale of wool last

wool market in the state, the sales
for 1905 amounting to 10000
lbs.
The average price paid here for
unbroken horses in 1905 was 500
per head, against 500 per head for

the people. The revolutionary move

Our effort hitherto has been to
force further concessions before the

meet The government is attempting
by means of a mixture of force and
caiolery TO keep itself alive until the
meeting of the DOuma But we do
not want to have German conditions
reproduced here. We want an absO-

be achieved if the people frame the
government themselves. For that rer

other concession granted by the Gar
dom, and demand a constituent as
sembly which will make it's own con-
stitution for the whole empire.
The real question before Russia to-
day is whether she herself or the
frightened remnant of the old govern
cial conditions of the future. AS
things at present stand, the old re-
gime is to conduct its own funeral;
that is to say, we are to have a Douma

The franchise is limited; the Douma's
powers are limited; it is a grant to

until the convOking of a constituent
assembly has set the seal upon the

TWlTCHING NERVES
a Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Dr. Williams Pink Pills

Sufferers from ailments that have af-
ficted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 40S
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
For two years I suffered from a trying
nervousness III my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before ME.
The situation was for many years &C.
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when nv
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, l thought there
might possibly be some good i'll them for
me. Ny trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. l often had to walk the floor III
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and l ceased TO use the remedy
evidently stopped a little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since I
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal

and women. For further information,

diction. With the fire of an inspired

II had an eruption appear on my

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their StOmachS by haSty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close cOntne-
ment to home, Office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people. in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone. nerve and
