OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When person has used coffee for
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. II have been treat
ed by many physicians but all in vain.
Everything failed to give relief. Was
prostrated for some time, and came
near dying. When l recovered suffi-
ciently to partake of food and drink l
tried coffee again and it soured on my
stomach.
81 finally concluded that coffee was
the cause of my trouble and stopped
using it. I tried tea in it's place and
then milk, but neither agreed with
me; then l commenced using Postum,
had it properly made and 1t was very
pleasing to the taste.
II have now used it four months,
and my health is so greatly improved
that can eat almost anything | want
and can sleep we'll, whereas, before,
| suffered for years with insomnia.
81 have found the cause OF my trou-
bles and a way to get rid of them.

The Sinful Human Heart.

A clergyman was addressing a
youthful class in Sunday school. To
illustrate the idea of regulating the
sinful human heart he took out his
watch and held it up that all might
see it.
"See this watch" he said. "Just
imagine that it does not keep good
time-that it goes all ways but the
right way. What ought to do with
it?"
Instantly a little boy held up his
hand.
II know!" he shouted . "Sell it to

Stretching Rings.

A jeweler in Third avenue, New
York city, advertises Wedding rings
purchased here will be stretched to
any size without extra cost" His en-
terprise is based on a knowledge of
human frailty. "The girl often hap
pens to balk," he says, "and the fell
that intended may not fit the finger Of
the next intended; so | stretch it for
nothing. l have stretched rings as
many as five times for one man."
Why not use rubber rings?

COMMISSION
PLAN WON
Mandan Takes Step To-

The commission plan carried on Wed.
nesday in Mandan by majority of 80
votes.
Speaking of the election, the Tribune
says: The adoption Of the commission
system for the government of the city Of
Mandan, considering the efforts of the
element against it, will be surprise to
the people of the state. That this city,
where the opponents to reform were sup.
posed to be as strongly entrenched as in
any other community in the state. should
be the first to adopt the experiment of a
system that offers greater opportunities
fora business administration, will be a
revelation to the people of the state.
Under the commission system it is
possible for right thinking and cour-
ageous officials to accomplish more of
real and lasting benefit to their constitu-
ents than is possible under the log.roll-
ing ward system now in vogue. A city
ought to be run strictly on business prin.

figure in an officials duty to his constit-
uents. The strife among aldermen for

Taxes for 1907

County Auditor J. S. White has COM
pleted the tax levy in mills for 1907. The
figures are interesting to those who have
property in Stark county.
The assessed valuation of real estate
and personal property in the county, in
Guiding the city of Dickinson and the
village of Richardton. is s3,461,345, quite
an increase over 1906. Assessors do not
claim to get over a one-third valuation
and as matter of fact they do not get
an average of more than one-fourth,
hence the true property value of Stark
county is not less than s15,ooo,ooo, and
probably $4,000. 900 is nearer correct.
The tax levy in the city of
Dickinson, for all purposes, is 48.4
mills this year, or an increase of
5.3 mills over last year. This is due to
three reasons. First, the county levied
81, 900 for roads and bridges this year
and Dickinson comes in for portion OF
this expense. Last year the city had
nothing to pay under this heading. Sec.
ond, the city of Dickinson has expended
from $4,000 to $4,000 for waterworks
and sewerage the past year, necessitatine
an increase in the 1907 levy of Ia
miNs:, Third. the improvements in the
high school building are costing around
$1,000 and it was found necessary to lev,
SI4,ooo this year, against s11 900 in 1906
The city school levy in mills is 17.4, o,
an increase of IA over last year.
Notwithstanding the increased prop
erty valuation, the county levy is 1.4
mills greater than last year.
The county tax levy is made up a.

The Sisters fair opened Sunday after
noon and for three days the opera house
was the busiest place in the city. Peo.
pie came from long distances and it
seemed that everybody in the city turned
out to help worthy cause.
The hall was decorated for the occa-
sion and the different booths were very
tastefully arranged around the hall.
. The Dickinson Commercial club band
and orchestra were in attendance and
furnished excellent music every even
ing. Although there was too much ex-
citement to pay much attention to music,
there were many very complimentary
remarks concerning the band and or.
chestra.

Heiser had charge of the clothing de-
partment and did rushing business in

Quoted the shooting gallery and at the
end Of the three days session made a
wonderful showing on the cash book.
The main booth, where the wheel OF
fortune decided whose money looked
the best, was busy every minute. Frank
Wanner looked after the various wares,
which were auctioned by Tom Hughes
Of Bismarck, who has made reputation
as one of the best on the market when
it's matter of converting goods into
cash. Mr.. Hughes is certainly winner
and his good work at this fair is fully
appreciated. Mr.. Ehrmantraut was a
busy man with the pencil and had plenty
of work in keeping a cash account on
this booth.
Among others who assisted at the hall
and helped to make the fair grand sue
cess were Tom Vallancey, Misses Hole.
moe. Crowl, Litch, Kihm, Ethel Myers
and Ethel and Myrtle Parker.
The only contests decided on Tuesday
night were the gold watch for the mos,

Giant Reservoir.

Members of the Society of Engin-
GERS paid an interesting visit yester-
dav afternoon to the new reservoir
under construction for the Metropol-
ian water board at Honor Oak. These
immense works have been building
for a long time, and are very notice
able from the railway, which runs
close by. Above ground only the
crowns of innumerable concrete
covered arches are seen, with large
pumping station in the distance. I'm
derneath the surface, however, the
arches prove to be the roofing of
spacious and lofty caverns extending
in every direction, and destined,
when completed, to be filled to the
kevstones with a subterranean lake,
which will be continually replenished
from deep wells in, the chalk and the
Thames above Hampton Court. The
reservoirs will contain sixty million
gallons of water, and be the largest
of their kind in the world. The con-
struction generally is of brickwork
and concrete, the bricks having been
made on the spot from clay dug dur
ing the excavations. But none OF
these spacious underground halls,
cool and palatial, will ever be seen
by the public, for as soon as ready
they viii be filled "to the brim,' the
roofing arches covered with earth,
grass sown, and possibly a municipal
garden established upon it.-Lon-

legs are adorned with many lines or

not for display but for use. They
