Well, the CRATE battle IL over an
the wurld hain't gone out ov busi-
ness yit. The majority for prohi-
bishun liz large, an no wonder. The
ticker question liz a CRATE game ov
politick an hit liz hard ter beat
while hit lasts. Hit IL CRATE bekase
hit hiz bin wurked ter finish. Them
that honestly oppose the manufac-
tur an sale ov Ticker wurk an vote
fer the dry side; an them that air
awlways ready ter git on the band
wagon an ride, no matter which way
hit il goin', never fail ter hop on the
wagon, hardly waitin' fer the wagon
ter stop.
An hit liz really amusin' ter man
up a tree. l do not mean ter say
that the ticker question iZ not a
CRATE one nor that crate many men
an women are not sincere in their
efforts ter stamp out what they ac-
tually believe liz a monster evil, for
know they are honest in what they
say an do. But the comickal part
ov the show liz the anticks ov them
that occupy the best seats an gather
in the loaves an fishes an anything
else that they find lynn erround that
IL not under lock an key. Hit IL
amusin' ter notis the sanctyfied
smile that fingers on the faces ov

claimin' the merits ov prohibishun

in :" don't begin ter express hit. The
wurd "amusin' IL too tame, too
short, too feeble I think l will try
ter think out an invent a wurd that
will be more suitable, more express
sive, a wurd with erbout one hundred
letters in hit.
Maybe the millennium heZ sump-
| thin ter do with hit. But my pri-
| yate opinion liz that hit il jist a
new outbreak ov the pollytishuns an
hit liz regular stampead that can't
be headed Off untel they git so faI
ahead that they cant see nobody fol

FEARFUL SEIZURES Of PAIN
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills Remov
ed a Dozen Large Stones and
Relieved the Pain.

Joseph Deloge. of Renton, Wash.
u. S. A, writes OF his wonderful cure
He says:
"I think the alkali water of the West
| affected my kidneys. I began to have
pain in the back, headache and dizzy
spells. was so stiff and lame it hurt
me to work. I came to Seattle, but
the change of climate did not help me
| 1t was dangerous for me to work at
| my trade. Once I was taken with a
dizzy spell when walking along the
joists of a building. / had to get down
on my knees 70 avoid falling to the
ground. The urine at this time was
thick, red and i'll smelling. Soon I was
| taken with an awful pain in the groin.
I thought had appendicitis. In agony
I went to doctor. He said gall stone,
and administered morphine to ease my
pain. He gave me some effervescent
salts and said it would dissolve the
stone. but it didn't.
Soon after this, heard about Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills, and began
using them faithfully. The treatment
very quickly began to dissolve the
stone. 1t crumbled and came out in the
urine, in the form of a sandy, gritty
sediment. For several days this con-
tinued. and the grit was so thick It
could be scraped off the bottom of the
vessel in large quantities. One day
the urine stopped flowing, and 1 was
taken with a frightful pain. It kept
up all through the hours of the night.
There was constant desire to urinate,
but could not pass a drop. In the
morning that big stone I sent you came
out, and was followed with a gush Of
blood in the urine. Next came the
smaller stones, and then more sand and
grit.
THE suffering was something terri
bic, but I began to feel well right after.
Backache. headache, and dizziness
disappeared. and I picked up in health
and strength. Ny whole system felt
the benefit. I am sure Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills saved my nfe-

On the arrival of the special from

grotesque features of particular
character. The Elks were costumed
as Indians, cowboys, snakes, etc.
There were three bands in the pro-
cession, one each from Jamestown,
Minot and Valley City. The hit Of
the parade was made by an Elk from
Jamestown who bears the same name
as the leading senatorial candidate,
Col. Little. He personated the
Merry Widow and two-stepped the
entire length of the parade. A pa
