HE GRIP OF WINTER
 ON SUFFERING NORTH
Tie Fuel Shortage Has Become So Alarming That an Appeal Has Been Made to the Authorities.

Minneapolis. Minn. Dec. 14.-With the cold wave signal flying. the coal short age in the northwest becomes not only a cause or severe suffering. but an absolute menace to human life. Glen burn, N. D., is considering seriously an appeal to the government of North Da- kota and Minnesota, to employ the state militia forces in the moving of the coal trains. The farmers are burn ing their out buildings for fuel Glen burn has invited the people from it's territory who will be without fuel. to come and camp in the village school. Edith, Minnesota, is in darkness and suffering through deprivation of coal and apprehensive reports have come from numerous other places.
 At CandO. N. D.. dealers are out of fuel and mills and the electric light works will be shut down. Several fam flies are entirely without fuel. But one freight train has entered Condo this week, and no fuel was on that.
 The Glenburn. N. D. commercial club in a telegram received here today says "Our local dealers have coal ordered over two months which is not even shipped yet. Today We will wire Gov. Searles requesting him to take up the matter with Gov. Johnson and if neces- sary call out the militia of the two states to run coal. trains.
 The situation all through this sec tion is desperate and with the liability of blizzards at any time. many will freeze to death if fuel Is not available soon. Farmers are already coming to town with stories of burning sheds and other outhOuses.
 We will wire our senators at Wash ington today. asking their interest with the federal government. We have tel ephoned the Burlington mines and ask ed if they could not let us have five cars of coal if We sent men there to load them. They answered that they were sixty cars or more back in orders and could not obtain cars to load. Farmers cannot go to the mines and haul more than 1000 to 1.500 pounds. as the roads are almost impossible"

HIGHER OFFICIAL SALARIES.

There will probably not be a wide spread objection to an increase Of the salaries of members of the president cabinet and those of the vice presi- dent and the speaker of the house What may have suflced for the needs of official life when Jefferson used to hitch his horse in front of the capitol would be wofuily inadequate now. IL is not so much the fault. if it may be called a fault at all, of the members of the cabinet and congress that the man. ners and customs of the capital have changed as it is the fault of the people of the country who have changed their manners and customs.
 We hear much of the United States senate as the m.llionaires' club. That is. we hear it from those who would appeal to the spirit Of discontent in the country. Yet many men of promi- hence and capability. outside of the millionaire class. feel that they are not looking out for the future when they sacrifice their time for what Is to them the paltry salary of the congI Iessman.
 Now and then we hear of a mem Der of congress, that is a member of the house of representatives. who has lived within his salary or has even saved money; perhaps he has saved more than he could have made in his business or profession. As a rule those the public life of the capital: have been of little service to their country or their constituents. Several mem bers of the cabinet have entered it at great financial sacrifice with an un- derstanding that they should be re- lieved of their duties at the earliest possible moment. that they might re- turn to the acquiring Of a competency.
 The proposed salary of S12.OO0 a year for cabine. officers is not munificent. It would not pay the yearly expenses of the head of a department but it would come nearer doing it than the salary now allowed by. law and would to that extent lessen the objection of men of great ability 10 the public service.
 It is true that if such men were all so lacking in patriotism as to decline to take office. there would be no diff culty in finding men. that is s6OOO men for the $6OO0 positions. But these same S6000 men could not earn or get so much as lawyers. business men or financiers. We would shortly have a government that would make the world smile.

THE SICK RULER

But the Condition of Oscar of Sweden Was Hardly Less Alarming Than on the Day Before.

Stockholm. Sweden, Dec. 14.-A bulle- tin was issued at g o'clock today. say ing: King oscar passed a quiet day. and slept for four hours. The action of the heart was more regular. His tenn perature is 100 Fahrenheit. Phlegm in the trachea Is troublesome"
 His Majesty's condition is however extremely serious and it is understood that the doctors believe the patient could not survive another attack of the heart like that of "Wednesday. His Majesty seems to be interested in af- fairs. Today he asked that a lighted Christmas tree be brought into the sick room as he did not wish to be deprived of his last Christmas pleasures His wish was acceded to and presents from the tree were distributed to the mem bers of the royal family.

spelling of English words. luc.dity is of more consequence than orthographical ease. It appears that the simplified system of Brander Matthews and An drew Carnegie. as indorsed, propagated and pIacticed by President Roosevelt, saves letters at the cost of clearness; or worse, for it carries an entirely wrong meaning.
 There is a striking and convincing example in a sentence written by the president in his message as it appears in the official pages of our esteemed contemporary the Congressional. Rec ord. That publication has achieved an enviable reputation for accurate proof reading and for following copy. owing to the number of experts who handle the executive copy. and the presidents own experience in the read ing of proofs. an error of the types could not survive the revisors and ap- pear in the final printing. The sen tence is this:

ELECTION CoNTEsTs

The election contest which ended yesterday was preceded as we suppose all election contests have always been. by comments by partlsans. to the ef- feet that the contestant was not a true sport. Otherwise he would have abid- cd by the returns. That is altogether a mistaken notion. A candidate for of flee owes it to his party as well as to himself, to get into that office if he can do so honestly It is not only his right, but his duty in case of doubt to find out whether or not a majority of those entitled to vote voted for him.
 We do not mean that whenever a man has been apparently defeated for office by a very narrow margin, he should institute a contest for the mere purpose of seeing whether something may not come to him "out of the wash" That would be a great deal like shaking dice. But when he has reason to suspect that an election board has erred and that the returns do not ex- press the will of the people 1t is his business as a candidate to do his ut most to remove all doubt on that point. That is, if he is a true sport he will play the game squarely to the end.
 Every man who voted for him will then feel that his vote was not lost and he will be more in the temper to vote for him again should the opportunity be presented.

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con cerning Dr. Pierce's two leading medi- cines, "Golden Medical Discovery" and 'Favorite Prescription"

For weak worn- out, over-worked women-no matter what has caused the breakdown, rFavorite Prescription Twill be found most effective In building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system.
 A book Of particulars wraps each bottle giving the form mula of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each in- gredient entering into these medicines.
 The words of praise bestowed on the several ingredients entering into Doctor Pierce's medicines by such writers should have more weight than any amount of non professional testimonials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak.
 Both medicines are non-alcoholic. non- secret, and contain no harmful habit forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You can't afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.

 From many parts of the country, particularly from your section. the in tcrstate commerce commission is re- ceiving numerous importunate com plaints of car shortage and failure to transport the necessities of life. In various places in the northwest 1t is reported that people are actually freez- ing because of insufficient fuel for household use. owing to extraordinary delays in moving that article. The commission therefore urges you to make every possible effort to meet at once the needs and relieve the suffer- ing Of those dependent upon the facili- ties of your roads. (Signed)
