How to Cure a Cold,

The question of how to cure
a cold without unnecessary loss
of time is one in which we are
all more or less interested, for
the quicker cold is gotten rid
of the less the danger of pne-
umonia and other serious dis
eases. Mr.. B. w. L. Hall, of
Waverly, Va, has used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for
years and says: Il firmly be-
lieve Chamberlain's Cou g h
Remedy to be absolutely the
best preparation on the market
for colds. Ihave recommended
it to my friends and they all
agree with me. For sale by

MASS MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
The Gas Prospects of BOttineau
County Discussed.
REPRESENTATIVES HERE
From Kansas and Nebraska. Ma
chinery for Development Already
on the Field.

A great agitation has struck
BOttineau county upon the
question of gas, owing largely
to the discovery made in the
vicinity of Westhope. Repres-
entatives have been here fo1
the past few weeks from the
oil wells of Kansas and Neb-
raska. Machinery to the ex-
tent of six or seven thousand
dollars have been shipped to
the neighborhood of Westhope.
On Wednesday evening a mass
meeting was held at Westhope
and the question of opening up
the fields were largely discussed
by Mr.. Mckinley and other re-
presentatives.
On Thursday evening a mass
meeting was held in the court
house in Bottineau. A fair at
tendance was had, and the
prospects of pipeing G natural gas
into the city was talked of. II
was claimed that the propects
here are more than equal with
that of Kansas and the state OF
Nebraska. The representatives
state that they have some mil.
lions of dollars at their back in
order to push the project, but
are anxious to let in some Of
the residents of Bottineau, and
Bottineau county on the ground
floor. Mr.. Mckinley expects tc
return Immediately, but other
representatives will remain tc
work the field.

Business Transactions Of that
Body.
NEW ROADS PROVIDED
Bridge Construction Considered, and
Ordered in Many Places in the
County.

The Board of County Com
missioners met on Monday,
Oct. 7th, 1907.
The Board met as provided
by law. Only Chairman Knoke
and Commissioner Glomseth
were present in the forenoon
and consequently no business
could be transacted. Upon
motion the Board adjourned
until 2 o'clock p. m.
The Board met pursuant to
adjournment. The following g
commissioners were present at
the beginning of the actual
business: Chairman. Knoke,
Glomseth and Romsos. The
minutes of the proceedings of
September 10th were read and
approved as read.
1t was moved and duly car
ried that the Board reconsider
it's action of September 10th in
granting the petition for pub
lie cart-way described as fol-
lows Beginning at the north
west corner of the southwest
quarter of the Southeast quar-
ter of section 2, township 1853,
range rs, running thence due
south along the quarter line
for a distance of 80 rods and
terminating at the intersection
of this quarter line with the
section line on the south side
of the said section 2. It was
moved and duly carried that
the petition for the laying out
of the said described cart-way
be rejected. The reason for
this action is the serious objec-
tions raised against the estab-
fishing of this highway by the
owner of the land. The owner
of the said land and the person
specially interested in the cart
way across the same have made
satisfactory arrangements be-
tween themselves in regard to
driving across the said land.

Gang Rule in Operation at the
Fargo Convention.
INSURGENTS NJ EE T
The Leaders OF the Good Government
League Thirsty for Office. Get TO-
gether and Do Things.

Fargo, Oct. IA meeting of
the insurgents, good govern
ment league and the Scandina-
vian league was held in this
city late Saturday afternoon
and plans were formulated for
the next state campaign. About
twenty-five members of the
three organizations were pres
ent. There was little friction
over the selection of Speaker
Twitchell of this city for COVER
nor, and State Senator George
NJ. Young, of Valley City, for
secretary of state.
The principal fight was on
the candidate to be appointed
for United S States senator.
There was a sentiment in favor
of Congressman Marshall, but
that fight against him was led
by Editor George b. Winship,
of the Grand Forks Herald. and
it was charged that he did not
stand by the sinking ship of the
insurgents at the Jamestown
convention, and he was given
a decidedly cold rundown.
Dean Bruce of the law school
of the state university was the
choice of Editor Winship and
with the forces which he was
able to rally to his support, he
succeeded in landing the en-
dorsenent of the organization
for his candidate. Some of the
other members of the organiza-
tion were opposed to Bruce on
the grounds that the people of
the state would resent the idea
of the state university engaging
in politics and that the course
would injure the institution.
Others were opposed to him on
the grounds that he is a demo-
Crat.
1t was asserted on the streets
that during his residence in
Wisconsin he was always ac-
credited as a democrat.
The same is true of his pOliti-
cal Affiliations at this time, it
was charged. 1t was urged
that the speech which he made
at the celebration of the cleo
ton of Governor Burke at
Devil Lake last fall would drive
many of the republicans who
were such from principle from
the organization. 1t will be re-
membered that at that time the
speech of Mr.. Bruce was one
of the most laudatory delivered
and gloried in the defeat of the
republican party by democrat.
On the other hand it was stated
by some of the supporters of
the Bruce movement that the
fact that he is a democrat would
assure the support of that party
and that the speech at the
Burke celebration would be a
guarantee of his fidelity to that
party, and that because of these
things he would receive the
support at the polls of a suf-
ficient number of democrats to
insure his nomination.

A party of hunters who
camped at Round Lake Satur-
day night are telling a most
thrilling tale of adventure.
They were out in a boat which
capsized and they were obliged
to repair to their tent undress
and retire while their clothes
were hung out to dry. During
the night one of the party was
awakend bv something cold
and clammy as grim death
crawling across his face, and
on investigating found it to be
a lizzard about the size of an
alligator and also that the tent
was filled with them, they hav-
ing been attracted by the light.
Now, while this particular kind
of a lizzard is said not to be
poisonous, he is not an espe-
cially pleasant bed fellow, so
the gentlemen decided to get
up and leave the tent to the
reptiles, but upon examining
their wearing apparel they
found that instead of drying it
had frozen. We didn't hear
the last of this story, but isn't
this enough to freeze you?

the things that were said about
the poor indian and his hy-
phenated name by S. B. Maha-
ney while writing them were
positively wicked. John Wax
ne-hyphen etc., finally settled
before the case came to trial,
and everybody concerned felt
relieved. This name would be
just lovely for some society
dame with a penchant for hy-
phens, it would doubtless turn
her friends green with envy,
but is an awful burden to a la
boring man, and only causes
the atmosphere to grow blue
with profanity when his friends
are called upon to write or pro-
nOunce it.

The Quiet Workers.

In every community there are
good men and women who are un-
noted and unrenowued. They
hold no Office, they serve on no
committees. When officials are
to be elected their names are not
suggested. When honors are to
be bestowed no one thinks of
them. They are quiet keepers at
home, or patient daily toilers in
honorable vocations, living hum
bly, on some qui t street, with a
few flowers by the door, but God
keeps his own tally sheet of the
citizens Of a town; and there is a
possibility that when the day of
honorable promotion comes the
fortunate ones will be of those
who saw but little of honor at
the hands of their countrymen.
Gods estimate of man does not
depend upon how much he pays
ger front foot for his property, or
how many stations Of responsible
ity he has held, or how costly an
automobile be drives.-Ex.

. Although Governor Glenn, of
North Carolina, is not unmindful
of the fact that the present senti-
ment of the Democratic party
seems to favor the nomination of
Bryan, he does not think the ma
tional convention would make a
mistake if it should go South for
it's candidate. At the National,
Governor Glenn said last night:
"The South is entitled to this
recognition, and it will not be
very long before a Southerner is
chosen as the candidate of the
Democracy for the presidency.
There are many able men in our
section of the country who are
worthy of this high honor. Per.
sonally, [ do not think a better
man could be selected than Gov.
ernor Folk, of Missouri. He is
clean cut, his heart is with the
people, and he has done things.
