The Missouri River Improvement
congress held its last session Friday
morning at 1890 in the Commercial
club rooms. It was called to order
by Commissioner Gilbreath and
there was large attendance Of the.
delegates. The first business was
the adoption Of the following resolu-
lions:
The Resolutions
We, the River Improvement Associa-
ton, assembled at Bismarck, North
Dakota, hereby approve Of the action
OF those who conceived and brought
about this meeting. The gathering Of
the delegates from all parts OF our
great state show that we are alive to
the benefits of our industrial develop
ment by improved navigation on the
Missouri river and other streams. We
realize that transportation Is recogniz-
ed to be the most urgent industrial
question before the American people
today. This question is of as vital
concern to our state as to any state.
Facilities for cheap and prompt
/ transportation in this splendid state
are wholly Inadequate. Freight rates
In SO many instances are SO high as
to hinder and discourage production.
We believe that these conditions will
be relieved by the development Of a
reliable channel of commerce on the
Missouri river. We are convinced BY
the advice Of experts that the CONVEX
sion Of the whole stream into a SPLEEN
did channel Is entirely practicable
We therefore demand a prompt begin
ming and vigorous prosecution Of tbs
work by the general government t.
that end.
Provision must be made blythe ma.
tiOnal congress and money be author
lied to undertake improvement Of The
Missouri river on q grand scale ant
work once begun be carried to compile
ton and made permanent. This con
sideration we cheerfully leave to thu
national government to determine JUS
where beginning shall be made ant
how 1t shall be carried forward. Mind
full Of the peculiar conditions existin.
In the extreme upper river district'
and the peculiar demand for the in
creased use Of the river, we deem
our duty to draw attention OF the ma
tional congress to those peculia
needs. To the end that the utmost re-
lief be granted, consistent with gen
eral policy. we here commend q wis
and economical expenditure Of none,
In improvements which shall be stabl
and permanent.
We express sympathy with like pro
jects in other parts OF the great Mis
sissippi valley and elsewhere through
out the country. We are for them all

CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"1 take great pleasure in telling YOU
what great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. It
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
80 bad that she could not hold ANYTHING.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night OF day from the
scratching. I had her under the doc
tors care for a year and half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But if l had de-
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want of aid.
used all the remedies that everv-
body told me about and l tortured the
child almost to death. Then | saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for irritating skin. I bathed her with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now her skin ia as
clear and smooth as it could be. sheII

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended TO anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told :?
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women ?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
viii still GO on using and being ben.
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshea also
might just as well regain her health.

ADJUSTMENTS

''The New Black Crook" as ar
ranged by Miller and Plohn and
which was seen at the Grand last
night, bears little semblance to the
original Black Crook which created
such a Juror in theatrical circles
for the retaining of the thin little ro-
nance around which the Black
Crook was built there would be little
in common between the old and the
new and one who had seen the for
mer would hardly recognize 1t in the
latter. Instead Of being a spectacular
extravaganza of the sensational or
der the production has developed in
to nice clean little musical show
with small chorus to take the place
of the chorus of years ago that num-
bered all the way from fifty up. The

POLLOCK In JAIL.
Russian Who Killed a Neighbor Cant
Let Liquor Alone.

Joseph BolIock, who while in a
drunken frenzy beat his neighbor, An
drew Mauer, to death at the home of
the latter the first Sunday in Septem-
Der, has been surrendered to Sheriff
Wilkerson by his bondsmen, T. P
Fakes, John Artz. Jacob Ekas. Kate
Polneck and Susie Slater. The killing
was brutal affair and when Bollock
was arraigned in the city court a week
later ne waived his preliminary trial
and was bound over to the next term
of court under bond of $4,000 and his
case has not been reached.
Bollock went to the home of the
him with a chair and after knocking
him unconscious kicked him in the
face, gouging out one of his eyes and
jumped on his abdomen. The latter
injury was the one which caused death
during the following night, just about
the time Bollock was locked in the
county Jail.
All of the parties interested in the
case are Russians and the preliminary
trial was carried on through inter
prefers as the trial in the district court
will be when it is reached. Bollock is
said TO be hard working, good
hearted man when sober but a f1end
when drinking and his appetite for
drink has brought him before the
courts on several occasions for abusing
his wife and family
This is also in all probability the
reason that his bondsmen surrendered
him to the sheriff Monday, as they
signed the bond with the understand
ing that he should leave liquor alone
They claim that he came home last
night under the influence of liquor ana
commenced to abuse his wife and FAM
ily as was his old custom, and one of
the woman who signed the bond, as
well as one of the largest property
owners on 1t, asked to be released
Learning this the remainder of the
bondsmen asked to be released anu
there was nothing for the sheriff to do
but place Bo1.ock in the county jaii,
where he will refrain from the use of
liquor for a while at least Bollock
has different version of the affair
and claims that he had not been drink
ing but was merely correcting one of
his boys who he'd appropriated a sum
of money and squandered it,

should be shelled before planting, and
from the list to the 18th Of April is
good time to set them out.
After they have begun to come up

they do not require much water. They

ROOSEVELT DEMANDS HE
BE PUT IN MARBLE NOW

luepTseId = OF 400 'NOLDNIHSvM
Roosevelt is Interested in the statue of
himself soon to b placed in the senate
gallery. All the other vice Presidents
have long since been immortalized in
marble, but in view of the fact that
MIR. Roosevelt was still young and
Vigorous the senate hesitated to per-
petuate his image until he was con-
siderably closer to the three-score-and-
ten millstone.
But he passed the word along that
he did not intend to take any chances
on fate or African lions, so James q.
Fraser of New York, who was COM
missioned to execute the statue months
ago, was ordered to hurry up the he
roic touches and submit the design in
plaster.
A few days ago he notified the SUI
perlntendent of the capitol building
that he was ready to be worked into
marble and the command for him to
go ahead was about to be issued when
word came from oyster Bay that not
another stroke of work was to be done
until the president should have looked
himself over and became satisfied that
the statue would be all right.
