ANCIENT MYTH rs EXPLODED.
Scientific Proof That Animals DO Not
Commit Suicide.

The supposed suicide Of animals
It is to fly in the face Of deep-rooted
popular belief IL is just as much
q natural history myth, however, as
the hoard-headed belief in the adder
swallowing it's young in time of peril,
the toad living in stone nodule for
thousands of years, or the germinat-
ing powers of mummy wheat The
most ancient felo de Sc verdict of the
myth mongers relates to the habit of
scorpions digging their stings into
their heads when unable to escape.
Experiments have proved the fall
lacy of the scorpions suicide, notably
those carried out some years ago by
DR.. Il. Ray Lancaster, director of the
natural history department of the Brit
ish Museum, and Prof. Bourne of
Madras Scorpions were confined in
an extremely hot place from which es-
cape was impossible, and their frantic
gymnastics were carefully studied
with serene and philosophic com
placency AS In the case of the tor
tured rattleshake biting it's own body,
the action of the scorpion in an APP
parent attempt to put an end to its
sufferings by singing it's head was
purely muscular, and DR.. Lancaster
himself compared the action to the
biting the dust attributed to men
who die in hand to hand struggles, or
to the biting of their own hand or arm
by unhealthy children In a paroxysm
of anger.
That animals bring about their own
deaths by violent and abnormal ac-
tons is certain, but II all the contrib.
utory causes could be ascertained IL
would probably be found that they
did so under the pressure of some
torturing pain producing hysterical
madness.

WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Because it's for one Thing Only
and Paw Paw People APP
preciate This.

Nothing can be good for every
thing. Doing one thing we'll
brings success. Doan Kid
ney Pills do one thing only.
They cure sick kidneys. They
cure hackache, every kidney ill.
Here is Paw Paw evidence to
prove it:
Thomas Harrington, retired
farmer living on Black river
road, Paw Paw, says: II have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and do
not hesitate to recommend them.
[ was annoyed for long time
with dull pain across the small
of my back which caused me
great annoyance. | gradually
grew to be very weak and de-
spite the use of many RENE
dies Seemed to find no relief l
finally procured Doan's Kidney
Pills at Longwell Bros. drug
store and they speedily cured
me. | have not had a trace of
the trouble for over Is months.

to recommend such reliable
remedy"

their "slaves' slep t. Often be
fore the present power press was
secured, the proprietors pulled
the lever on the old Washington
hand press until one and two
O'Clock in the morning.
But this would not do. It
meant energy that should be
used in better ways. A power
cylinder press was needed. The
circulation had crawled then 10
over a thousand. By this time
the Independent had plenty OF
faith in Minot and her business
men, and strange to cay the
type foundries had sufficientfaith
in the Independent to sell us q
printing press that would ill the
bill. This is still being used and
while it does quite nicely, we re-
alike that we need a still faster
press and at this time we are
negotiating for one.
The circulation has gone up
away and beyond our fondest i'm.
agination of the past, and still
there seems to be no limit. -Four
years ago today the Independent
was paying fifty cents a month
postage. Now Postmaster Brun-
ner collects in the neighborhood
of SIS a month postage.
There was a tine when one
boy could walk down the street
with all the single wrappers un-
der one arm and the bundles I'M
der the other. Now in the
neighborhood Of twenty sacks
are used and a special mail wag-
on is used to cart the 5000 copies
to the post office every week.
Once We bought our print paper
by the quire. Now We get it in
car load lots, using $40 or $50
worth each week. The 1ndepen-
dent is we'll pleased with the
present conditions. We hope
that the readers can say as
much.

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1907-04-04

1t was jus5 five years ago last
week that the Independent was
born, and it's birth was not un-
der very favorable 'circumstan-
ces. Minot was then but an
overgrown village, q good bust
ness place, true enough, but the
merchants were entirely unable
to cope with the business thrust
upon them by reason Of the
great immigration that came
from the east about that time.
The independent was started
by G. +. Truax, who is still one
OF the owners Of this paper and
who is actively connected with
the same. With a capital Il
less than $50, the independent
was launched upon the news
paeranera of the state. True,
there were but a few subscribers
in the beginning and the little
army press that stood on the
box in the little two by four Of.
fee was plenty large enough and
certainly was rapid enough at
the time. About 200 copies
were issued at the start and
while the paper was rathersmall
Mr.. Truax managed to get outa
newsy little sheet, clean in every
way which created a demand for
it in the homes in and around
Minot.
It was not hard to fill the ad-
vertising columns, for only two
pages were printed at home, but
the land men we're good to the
Independent from the start, and
soon there were nearly tvs solid
pages of legals and advertising
matter. This would not do.
omething must be done.
The Independent must be en-
larged. Mr.. Truax thot the
matter over carefully, and made
a proposition to G. D. Colcord,
the present editor Of the indie
pendent, giving him an oppor-
tunity to secure q half interest
in the business and plant. Just
four years ago Monday this deal
was made.
Arrangements we're made at
once to enlarge. The army press
was exchanged for larger one,
a Washington hand press, and
this made the work some light
er. Still the subscription went
up, up, up, and page after page
was added to the paper until the
patent sheets were discarded and
the paper was transformed into
an ''all home print . This ne
cessitated a vast amount OF
press work, but the paper must
be gotten out on time, and print
ers must sleep. There was moth.
ing for the proprietors to do but
to take off their coats and buc-
kle down to hard work, while
