STATE-OWNED ROAD
PROPOSED BY SMITH
To Extend From Chicago, Ill.
to Savannah, Ga.
WOULD REDUCE FREIGHT RATES

Governor. Elect Hoke Smith Declares
that Such Line Would Make the
Rates So as to Have Great Weight
on Trade Relations with the South.
Chicago, Feb 1G.-A proposition
TO establish a state-owHed railroad
from Chicago 20 Savannah, Ga. was
suggested to Corporation Counsel
Lewis, by Governor Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in a letter received Friday.
Governor Smith declared that such
line would reduce freight rates and
would have a great influence On the
trade relations with the South. The
letter said:
q am much interested in the rail-
road rates from the lakes to Geor-
gia. Our state owns a railroad from
Atlanta TO Chattanooga and there is
a strong sentiment in favor of extend
ing it to Savannah. If Cincinnati
would reclaim control Of the line built
by its citizens, from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and Cincinnati and Chicago
would join a movement for the con-
struction of a line from Chicago to
Cincinnati, there might be made
through line from Chicago to Savan-
nah, operated solely for tie purpose
of paying expenses and interest on
the actual cost of construction with
out the burdens of water stock and
bonds.
Such line would prove beneficial
not only to the great cities through
which it passed, but to a broad ter
ritory adjacent to the line. 1t would
reduce freight rates more than %
per cent. 1t would have a most
marked influence upon our trade rela-
tions."

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one of DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrappers and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paying for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for ex-
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, viZ.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul-
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom-
ach, biliousness and kindred derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery"
membranes, as catarrh, whether of the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy If its use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages, it is well,
while taking the UGolden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
4 cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
I chial, throat and lung affections, except con-
sumption in it's advanced stages, the Golden
s Medical Discovery" is most efficient REM
edy. especially in those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
& the bronchial mucous membranes. The Dis
1 covery is not SO good for acute coughs aris-
ing from sudden colds nor must it be ex-
Dected to cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate, chronic coughs. which, If neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to consump-
tior. 1t is the best medicine that can be taken.

farmer PROVIDES
FOR READY MONEY
A. j. Senger Of Norwich Solves
the Secret Wife Sells Many
Eggs and Much Butter Keep
Strict Account of Sales.

The Independent has always
contended t hat the average
North Dakota farmer does not
go at his work just right in or
der to have ready money the
year round. It takes work and
good planning. Here is the way
chat one OF our subscribers, A. j..
Senger Of Norwich, goes about it
to have some loose change in his
pocket the year round. At the
present time he has 200 hens
that are laying, and even in the
coldest weather Of January he
was getting forty-ive and fifty
eggs a day, when eggs were sell
ing for 35 cents a dozen in Mi
not. OF course his chicken house
is warm, it being newly built last
fall. The building is 16x32 feet,
ten feet high and conveniently
arranged. He feeds his chickens
oyster shells, ground bones, etc.
Mrs. Senger looks after q good
deal OF the work and last year
kept an account OF all the eggs,
butter and calves sold from the
farm. She sold 812 dozen eggs
for $147.96, 1876 pounds OF but
ter for $66.34 and four veal cal.
YES for $29.39 making a total OF
$243.69 taken from the farm, or
enough to keep the table for the
entire year with what vegetables
are raised on the farm, and some
to spare. This is the first year
that Mrs. Senger has kept an ac-
count OF her sales and was really
surprised. It might be a good
idea for ;the housewife in every
family in Ward county to follow
the example OF Mrs. Senger, keep
ing strict account OF every
cent taken in and every cent paid
out.
Mr.. Senger himself farmed 200
acres last year with the assist
anc9 of u farm laborer OCCASION
ally, and has 265 acres plowed
for the coming springs work. He
will have in over $50 acres of
crop this year.
Mr.. Senger himself last sum
mer erected a barn 42x64 feet
with sixteen foot posts.
