EDITORIAL COMMENT
A Beautiful North Dakota Poem

The following song, which may be sung tt
tune OF Savior, Like a Shepherd Lea(
was written by Mrs. Stevens OF Towner
is exceedingly we'll known among the Ole
lers of the state, and especially in Ward
lty Mrs. Jean McNaulton Stevens seems
ave struck Just the right chord in this ex
mt western poem:
Dakota home and shelter give US,
Much we need some simple fare,
In thy glowing wheat fields feed US,
Let US for the SHOWS prepare.
North Dakota, North Dakota
Let US grow in thy free air.
Here we toll in manly fashion,
Soon as sunshine drives the snow,
Till summer twilight shows compassion
On our long hours while We NOW.
North Dakota. North Dakota
Grasses grand which round us grow.
Then our year is crowned with harvest
Gathered in the shortening day,
Indian summers sure the noblest
Season for mans earnest sway.
North Dakota, North Dakota
Rich our garner is today.
Fen the winters sunshine
Let US brace in cold so dry,
Let thy billiards. find us sheltered
Where the bluffs are steep and high.
North Dakota, North Dakota
Life is good with Ignite nigh.
Here we tell the tale of brothers
Red the fierce and valiant Sioux,
Alas! they quickly join the others
Who besides the white, grow few.
North Dakota, North Dakota
Guard thy Nabois build the Sioux.
Hast thou heard of Sakawea?
Was the maid Arapahoe?
Let us keep her record clear,
Tho we've lost the Buffalo
North Dakota, North Dakota
Not one herd of Buffalo.
Now, q State, we seek future,
Deeds worth while for stalwart mon,
Days fulfilled with gracious culture
OF sweet thots by women. Then
North Dakota, North Dakota
Thou wilt be acclaimed Queen.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

NEW SUBSTITUTE
FOR CHLOROFORM,
French Chemist Also Administers Dan.
serOus Drugs by Means Of Current.

Paris.-Prof Stephane Leduc,
whose experiments in the chemical
production of life have been much
talked about lately, came up to
Paris, to present to the faculty
two new inventions of great inter
est.
At the Broca Hospital he ex-
planned a method which he has
discovered for administering drugs
by e1ectricity-the scientific name
of which is ionisation. By way
of proving his theory that drugs
could be administered by the pass
ing of an electric current, the
Professor shaved the back of a
rabbit and put a compress of sui
phite of trychnine on it.
This violent poison did the an
imal no harm, but Immediately
after the passing of an electric
current the rabbit died, the cleo
trio current having introduced
the poison into its system.
Prof. Leduc considers that ionis-
alton should prove extremely
useful in the curing of rheumatism,
sciatica, locomotor ataxia and
paralysis.
The professor also showed his
an interesting expert
ment with electricity as all an
esthetic. He put a rabbit to sleep
by means of the electric current,
under the influence of which the
animal could be cut without feel
ing pain. The Professor kept the
rabbit asleep for ten minutes, and |
then stopped the current, and the
animal opened its eyes and sat up.
This new method of producing
is likely, Prof. Leduc
to replace chloroform
and ether at very early date
and is OF immense importance to
medical science.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No
Brownsville Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

Danger signal No. comes from
the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are
sick. Well kidneys excrete clear,
amber fluid. Sick kidneys send
out a thin, pale and foamy, or a
thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full
of sediment and irregular of pas
sage.
Danger signal No. 2 comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell yot,
of sick kidneys and warn you OF
the coming of dropsy, diabetes
and Bright's disease. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidney S and
cure them permanently.
Mrs. c. H. Blain, living out on
the Bluff, Corpus Christi, Texas,
says: My grandchild, about eight
years old commenced to be troubled
by kidney or bladder ailment
about a year ago. At first 1 could
not conceive what was the matter,
however the symptoms got more
pronounced and l watched her
closely. She seemed to have no
power to retain the kidney secre-
tons and also complained of a
pain in the back of her neck and
head. Procuring Doan's Kidney
Pills, I was gratifed to see the
for the better within a very
short time. 1 have great faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills and can
heartily endorse them.
Plenty more proof like this from
Brownsville people. Call at J. L.
Putegnat & Bro. drug store, and
ask what customers report.

A New Use for Skinned Milk.

Possibly your piano keys are
made of SKINNED milk. If you
play billiards, it is very probable
that you are knocking around the
table spheres of the quondam fluid
yielded by the domestic COW. For,
in these days of miracles, the
magicians of science find it very
easy to change milk into ivory.
Galalith, which is composed largely
of skinned milk, is the best sub
stitute for ivory known. When
uncolored, it looks exactly like
the-tusks of elephants. But it
can be easily colored with any hue
desired. 1t is soft to the touch.
will not e-ock, and, unlike
ce1luloid, is freproof. In Austria,
where the new substance was
invented, over 100000 quarts of
skinned milk are daily made into
galalith.

The Usual Difference.

A rich but avaricious old man de-
cided to make his will, and calling
a lawyer, instructed him to draw it
up, saying that he would leave all
his money to a friend.
What" said the lawyer, to a
friend, when you have a nephew
living?"
He is a ne'er-do-well, a fool,
and an idiot, who has never work
ed and whom I have not seen for
six years. -
but in that time, " said the law
yer, he has become rich. Much
richer than you, in fact, and he
would laugh at your fortune.
In that case" returned the
contrary old gentleman, that
makes difference. I shall, there
fore, make him my sole legatee. !"

SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1907
BADHEARLMG OF OFFICERS

It would be somewhat interest
ing to hear Major Penrose and the
other officers who were at Fort
Brown on Aug. Is last swear before
d courtmartial that they cannot re-
cognize the report of the Springfield
army rifle, when fired, both singly
and in volleys, within two or three
blocks of them. All of these Of
fcers have asserted that they were
awake before the firing on the town
had ceased and admit that they
plainly heard the fusilade," yet
declare they did not know that the
guns being fired were army rifles.
For men so long accustomed to the
peculiar sound of that particular
weapon, which they must have
heard fired countless times, they dis
play a strange case of obtuseness,
which would indicate that they are
hardly fit to hold the very respon
sible positions under the govern
ment employ which they occupy.
To take charge of such dangerous
animals as those negroes composing
the Infamous Twenty-ffth, none
but men of the highest abilities,
men not only with undaunted
courage, but with the most acute
sense of both hearing and sight,
be trusted by the govern
ment.

THROUGH unintentional over
sight, THE HERALD has neglected
heretofore to acknowledgements of
the complete reports of the official
records concerning the Brownsville
outrage which were kindly sent to
the editor by Congressman Garner.
These include two volumes, one be-
ing a Senate Document. which
comprises 545 pages, containing
she Presidents message to the Sen
ate relating to the discharges of
the negro soldiers, and all reports
and evidence IN the case up to the.
time of the Presidents action; the
other being the annual report of
Ehe Secretary Of War which in
riudes a detailed report of the af-
tair. The information contained
n these reports is both interesting
aui valuable, and THE HERALD, is
grateful to Mr.. Garner for his

The defeat of Bailey in the

clans who are trying to GUST him

That is all anyone can ask-a
square deal. If Mr.. Bailey has be-
trayed the trust of the people,
THE HERALD would be the last to
defend him, but this paper will
always protest against the destruc-
ton of mans reputation by
means of inuendoes and insinua-

mentality as that Of a spy and
blackmailer, some of whose dirty
