 sensitive to colds should

not fail to keep Linonine at hand. One or two spoon fuls when the cold is first mo- ticed will generally overcome 1t at the start, and none of the distressing feelings that accompany a cold that is al- lowed to "settle" are felt. Should the cold be neglected and become seated Linonine will drive it from the system in a very short time.

New Postage Stamps. AN

. b 10 u T. j ] l. 81 y "a :
The new rule regarding postage
stamps for the year. 1907 has great
advantage. All the stamps to be
issued from the 5000 presidential
postoffices will bear the name of the
state and city inwhich they are issued.
The names of twenty Of these
offices will be engraved on the stamps,
and the remainder will be printed.
In this way the postal authorities will
be able to tell just how much business
is handled by each office. BY having
the name OF the city and state on the
postage stamps each Office will get due
credit for the amount of stamps it
sells and for the amount of work that
passes through it's hands. Very often
postoffices do a greater amount OF
business than they are credited with
officially. Robbers will be traced
much easier than before, for it will be
almost impossible for thieves to pass
off stolen stamps without being de-
tected.s The plan of engraving the city
of issue on the postage stamps has
been followed with success for years in
Mexico.-Ex

N. P. Cutoff

Further information regarding the
$50 mile cutoff the Northern Pacific is
said to be preparing to build from
Miles City to Helena, shows that, in
addition to shortening the distance
between Minneapolis and Pacific coast
points, it is designed with the idea of
cutting deeply into territory about TO
be pre-empted by the Milwaukee in its
coast extension. Railroad men look
upon it as the first of series of retail
iatory moves which Hill intends to
make against the Milwaukee because
of it's invasion of territory which has
heretofore been looked upon as be-
longing exclusively to the Hill lines.
The cutoff, according to interested
officials, will give the Northern Pacific
an immense advantage over Its pro-
jected rival. From Miles City to Har-
lowtown the Northern Pacific will par
allel the Milwaukee, which at Harlow
town swings southwark and makes a
long detour to Butte and then swings
north to get over the Rocky Mountain
divide.-Fargo Call,

Charter Amendments

The legislative committee of the
Municipal League of North Dakota,
consisting of Attorneys Scott Rex of
Grand Forks, Thos. F. Pugh of Lari-
more, w. G. Resser of Fargo, p. j.
McClory of Devils Lake and Lee
Combs of Valley, has roughly drafted
proposed amendments to the municipal
law of the state, to be submitted to
members OF the legislature some time
early in the session.
The proposed amendments are sew
eral in number, of which two are con-
sideredSof vital Importance. When
the Fargo city council considered the
paving proposition last winter, it was
discovered that under the municipal
law it was possible to advertise for
bids for only one kind of paving at a
time, Notwithstanding it was the opin-
ion of practically every member of the
councilsthat the city ought to have the
opportunity Of ascertaining the cost
of the use of various materials. I'm
der the present law the Taxpayers must
inform the council what paving they
want and the council must keep on
guessing till enough petitioners have
settled, on some one paving. In case
the bids prove too high for one class
of paving, the whole procedure must
be repeated with another class of paw
ing. To obviate this difficulty the
Municipal League committee proposes
that the council be given power to ad-
vertise for bids for several varieties
of paving, that proper selection may
be made of the most suitable kind.
Another proposed amendment pro-
vides that the city treasurer prepare
and submit to the council the first
meeting after January l, April l, July
and October a quarterly statement,
showing the receipts and disbursements
how the money was raised. concerning
the school moneys received from the
county treasurer, concerning all the
money subject to the order OF the
council, including all moneys received
by the city treasurer, specifying the
sources from which it accrued, to
state the manner of expenditure, spec
flying the amount for each department
The whole to be published in the offic-
ial paper.
Another amendment pertains to the
removal of snow from the sidewalks,
and is intended to fix the law so that
the city will have the power to insure
the removal of the snow at all times.
Attorney Pugh of Larimore, mem
Der of the legislative committee, is al
SO member of the lower house of the
i legislature, and will probably intro
duce the measure in the house, Far
go Call.

Ole Got the Cars

The story of how Ole got the
cars is being told. tt is as fol
lows:
Parkhurst is little station
just outside Of jamestown, this
state. Ole Sather, a lively and
wideawake Scandinavian, manag-
es the elevator there. For
weeks Sather had prayed for
cars and had implored the roads
to send some along, but none
could be had. One day last week
a train pulled north carrying on
the end a line of empties headed
for Darlington and other compet-
tive points. It was a big train
and on a grade it stalled. The
crew cut off a number of cars and
in the cutoff were a number of
of empties. They were to be
picked up next morning.
Ole saw them. Like mad he
dashed for home and sent out to
all his friends and neighbors an
emergency call. They rallied to
his side. The cars could not be
! moved, but the grain could be
hauled to the cars. 1t was a
race against time. Teams
streamed and drew the heavy
wagons: lanterns swung far into
the night, men labored to beat
out the returning train crew and
when morning dawned the eight
cars, loaded to thelimit, contained
10000 bushels of grain.
There was much railroad pro
family and a threat to throw it
into the snow but wiser council
prevailed, the cars were finally
moved and 50 10000 bushels of
Stutsman county grain that at
the present rate of railroad ser
vice mightshase lain there until
next summer was sent to mar
ket. Ole used to be a section
boss before he became a grain
buyer and he understands the
railroad business. Hillsboro

The ananrern of Home.

Home is the most dangerous place
ever go to-" remarked John Muir, the
famous geologist and naturalist. He
was on the train returning from Ari-
zona to his home in Martinez, Cal,
after the earthquake. LAS long as l
camp out in the mountains, without
tent or blankets, get along very well,
but the minute 1 get into a house and
have a warm bed and begin to live on
fine food 1 get into a draft, and the
first thing 1 know 1 am coughing and
sneeZing and threatened with pneu-
monia and altogether miserable Out
doors is the natural place for a man.
Walk where you please, when you like,
and take your time The mountains
won't hurt you, nor tie exposure. Why,
1 can live out for $50 year for bread
and tea and occasionally a little tobac-
co. All 1 need is a sack for the bread
and a pot to boil water in and an ak.

Lawyer. and Our Public Life.

Without stopping for statistics, which
have been SO often collated, 1t Is
enough to say that in the public life Of
this country the lawyer has been The
conspicuous factor. The judiciary, of
course, is altogether composed of men,
berS Of the profession. In executive
Offices and legislative halls the law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business and all other pro-
fessions. Yet the public life of this
country has been of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of official labor they have
proved true to their employment, and
it may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
in official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory of a general
personal integrity? 1t is no sufficient
explanation to say that, although the
great mass of the profession is cor
rupt, there are a few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life The truth is
their very prominence in public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein i'm
posed, is evidence which cannot be ig-
nored that the profession has and
maintains a character for honesty and
uprightness which attracts general
confdence.-D. J. Brewer in Atlantic.
