So many false formulas and malicious
statements concerning his medicines
had been published through the con-
nivance of jealous competitors and dis
gruntled doctors, that DIR. Pierce deter
mined to completely disarm his assail-
ants by full and frank statement of
their exact composition, verifying the
same under oath as complete and cor
rect. This he has done and to the
complete discontinue of those who had
assailed his good namo as well as the
well-earned reputation of his world
famed medicines.
Not only does the wrapper of every
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the famous medicine for
weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious
ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever
located, have printed upon it, IN plain
English, a full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but q
small book has been compiled from
numerous standard medical works, of
all the different schools of practice,
containing very numerous extracts from
the writings of leading practitioners
of medicine, endorsing tst the strongest
possible terms, each and every ingred-
lent contained in DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines. One of these little books will be
mailed free to any one sending address
on postal card or by letter, to DR.. r. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, and requesting
the same. From this booklet it will be
learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious
agents and that they are made from
native, medicinal roots of great value;
also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription for weak, nervous,
over-worked, urun-down," nervous and
debilitated women, were employed, long
years ago by the Indians for similar
ailments affecting their squaws. In
fact, one of the most valuable medic
inal plants entering into the compost
ton of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton was known to the Indians as
vSquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the
uses of not few of our most valuable
native, medicinal plants was gained
from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exact
processes, and with the use of specially
designed chemical apparatus, the wFa-
vorite Prescription is most efficient
remedy for regulating all the womanly
functions, correcting displacements, as
prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nerves and bringing about q perfect
state of health.

ALL MUST GO THIRSTY.
Court Decides That Willow Lakes Sa-
loon Licenses Are Void.


loon Licenses Are Void.
Owing to the fact that the vote upon
the question of granting licenses to
saloons resulted in tie at the regu-
lar municipal election at Willow
Lakes last spring, that place, after ex-
tensive litigation over the legality Of
the licenses which, Notwithstanding
the tie vote, were granted, is now
without any saloons.
1t was the opinion of many resi-
dents of the place that the. licenses
issued were illegal and void The
question was taken before Judge Mar
quis Of the circuit court who has rem
dered decision sholding that the
licenses We're illegal. In accordance
with this decision, the two saloons
which have been doing business in
the place during the past eight
months have closed their doors, the
town council having revoked the
licenses. The status of town where
there has been tie vote on the
license question has never been
passed upon by the state supreme
court. 1t is possible that the decision
in the present case may be appealed

WEEDS MILLIONS; WANTS DIVORCE
Male Members of Sioux Falls Colony
Astounded by Arrival Of Couroud.

Astounded by Arrival Of Couroud.
Trouble has overtaken the male
members of the divorce colony at
Sioux Falls, the cause of their grief
being the arrival OF a new member
who, they fear, will bring upon them
undue and unwishedfor notoriety.
The male members of the colony
look upon the "butting in" of the new
member about as the woman men,
bers of the colony regarded the ar
rival Of Mrs. Roland B. Molineaux
some years ago.
The latest arrival in the colony, and
the man who has caused all the grief
Is Powers CourOud, who, about three
years ago, married daughter Of
William HI. Croker, the multi-million-
aire OF San Francisco. He is only
about twenty-three years of age. An
interesting feature of the case is the
fact that his father had previously
married an older sister of Couroud's
wife,
1t is understood here that Couroud
Is to be pensioned with million dol
lars when a divorce is granted him.
Miss Croker was but seventeen when
she ran away and married young
Couroud, who at that time was but
twenty. The young man is an Eng
lishman with all the distinctive Eng
lish habits.

INVENT NEW THREsHER.
Great Things Claimed for an Aberdeen
Machine.

Great Things Claimed for an Aberdeen
Machine.
Herman Cook and William Cook, who
live near Aberdeen, are endeavoring to
interest capital in the building of
trial machine in the nature of an auto
mobile threshing machine, which they
have invented. The brothers say that
Eastern capitalists have offered to
build the machines on a royalty basis.
but that they prefer to commence ope-
rations in Sioux City, il possible, be-
cause Of it's proximity to the Western
harvest fields.
The invention of Herman Cook
promises to do away with the old trac-
ton engine with long belt which now
10 used to run separators. The new
machine, which uses gasoline as mo-
tive power, is placed directly under the
cylinder of the thresher and Is so at
tached that it not only operates the
separator but propels the machine
from place to place as we'll. One Of the
great savings claimed by its inventor
for the new machine will be in labor.
Whereas a separator man, coal haul
er, an engineer and water boy are
required to operate thresher, by the
new machine all of this can be done by
one man. 1t is asserted that IS per
cent of the expense, power and labor
required for running thresher under
the old conditions will be saved by the
new invention.
"We believe" said Herman Cook,
"that our machine will revolutionlze
the threshing business. II our invea-
ton is the success we believe, 1t Will
put twenty-six large threshing ma
chine companies out of business.

The story of the kidnapping of two

of the school board of an adjoining

FUEL AND FOOD IN PLENTY
THIRTEEN CITIES OF NORTH DA-

DENIAL.

Bismarck, Jan. 27.-Reports having
been spread abroad that settlers in
this section of the state were in want
of provisions and fuel, the following
denial has been secured by telephone
from various commercial clubs:
Whereas, Reports have been pro-
miscuously circulated in the daily pa
pers OF the country that there exists
a fuel and food famine In certain por-
lions of North Dakota; and.
Whereas, The undersigned com
mercial clubs, representing the under
signed cities in the western portion of
North Dakota, on the Northern Pacific
and the 500 railways, comprising the
territory included in the counties Of
Morton, Burleigh, Emmons, Kidder.
Mclean, Stark, Oliver, Billings. Mer
Ger, Bowman, Dunn and Hettinger,
after thorough investigation of facts,
submit:
No Fuel Famine.
THAT there is absolutely no fuel
famine in any portion of that part OF
North Dakota designated as the Mis-
sori slope and including the counties
above named, but, on the contrary, the
entire country is abundantly supplied
with native Ignite, coal exclusively
used by the residents thereof. The
people of this section of the country
are Independent of railroads for their
fuel supply.
THAT there is no food famine in
any section of the territory named,
and no suffering existing among the
people.
Live Stock Is Safe.
THAT there is no loss of live stock
in any portion Of Western North Da-
kota, and it has been unnecessary to
feed stock to any great extent, same
grazing on the ranges.
investigations further disclose that
there is absolutely no necessity for
tiers in this section of the state, and
that many of the reports put in circu-
lation are without foundation in fact,
and are unjust to that section of the
state involved"
