PETER ROY AND HIS SON JOHN.

PETER ROY AND HIS son JOHN.
The Whltel Earth Tomahawk, in
speaking Of the candidacy of John Roy
for sheriff of Mahnomen county, has
the following
No one who is familiar with Chip
pewa affairs will fail to recognize the
name of Roy, for the family has been
identified with the tribe from time
out of mind. As a very small boy we
remember the late prominent mixed
bloods of the tribe, who took an active
part in all the business of the tribe.
He also, on numerous important occa-
sions, acted as an interpreter between
the Chippewas and the government
and also In the formers negotiations
with the government at Washington
while their chiefs were making the
treaty of 1868. In fact, Pe-yan-1sh, as
Peter Roy was generally known
throughout the Chippewa country, was
band, position which was regarded
as of much more Importance than that
Of the ch1eftainships, for the latter
did only what their advisors in
structed them to do. John Roy, the
reservation candidate for sheriff of
Mahnomen county, is the son of Peter
Roy, and he is we'll known to the
members of this reservation not only
as Pe-yan-ish's son but on account of
the positions he has held He was
born at Little Falls, Minnesota, and
lived there constantly until his remov
al to this reservation. At the time of
his BIRTH. Little Falls was a frontier
town and as much Of an Indian town
as any of the frontier towns of this
state. When John Roy had reached
manhood, he was made the village
marshal of Little Falls and subse-
quently became it's chief of police, at
least we believe this was the position
on the force which. he held. His ex-
perience in these official positions are
what have qualified Mr.. Roy for the
position OF sheriff, and there is no
doubt the members of the reservation
will give him their hearty support.

"AS A MAN THINKETH.' q
By EDWIN A. WYE
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. N-.

Remember the almanac of your boy hood?
 1 You can sec it now, in your minds S
 eye invariably occupying it's place of
 honor near the kitchen stove, a house
 hold oracle often consulted as to the phases of the moon and the proba bili- ties of the weather. l Remember how you puzzled over the signs of the zodiac. whose diagram and hieroglyphics appeared on the in- side cover? And how you laughed over the antiquated jokes? And how, in the dearth of reading in the house
 hold, you read the dismal description of diseases for which the exploited patent medicine was an unfailing pan acea?
 For instance , You read that "shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after viz I orous exercise" were symptoms of ; heart disease. Sure! You had all the l symptoms, and so on. For every ill described you found the diagnosis and the remedy.
 Only you did not worry about it much. And in that respect you diff fered from the adult who gets like suggestion from reading the advertise |. ments of cure-alls and testimonials of marvellous recovery. Think of that Scripture which de- clates-
 "As d man thinketh in his heart, so l is he"
 A man gets it into his head that his
 heart does not do it's work just right.
 He worries about it. Worry prevents sleep. It intcrferes with digestion. ] There is lack of nourishment, derangc-
 ment. Each condition aggravates the other. The man is run down." He
 is really sick And finally there is l functional disorder. The man has real
 trouble with his heart and other or
 gans. He has brought it about by per
 sistent wrong thinking.
 "As a man thinketh in his heart"
 He who suggests to himself that he
 is suffering from heart disease or liver
 trouble or stomach Arrangement and 1 who goes on thinking so until it be-
 comes settled belief is pretty sure to
 get that disease
 ;! In large measure the converse is true. He who suggests to himself that he
 is in vigorous health and persists in
 thinking so is likely to be in health.
 He says to himself over and over: "I
 am strong. have plenty of vitality.
 l am healthy'' And then somehow, l by the mysterious power of mind over
 matter, he finally comes to be what he l thinks himself to be.
 That is all there is 10 the so called 'new thought" or "auto-suggestion,"
 or Suggestive thcrapeutics.' and there 1 is great deal of truth in them all. Ihe medical world is just beginning | to admit that. other things being | equal
 i Crooked thinking makes disease. Strs sNt thinking makes health.

NEW PROSPECT
 FOR INTERURBAN
Promoters Propose Line on south Side of River to Go Beyond Pine
 Bluff tO Monticello or Wilmar

The reorganization of the Little Rock and Pine Bluff Transit Com pany by the election of w. F. Camp bell ef Argenta president, F. J. Sty- mour of Fl Dorado vice prcsident and S. t Miller of Pine Bluff secretary, las resulted i'll putting new lie into the enterprise. and within few days the promoters expect to make some definite announcement of their plans. air. ampbell and Mr. seymour will leave ,il week :pr 2 t"iD over Inc proposed route. @oin" 3s far aS Mon- ticello and stopping al the various towns along the route. They will ex- plain in detail their proposition to the people who will be most inter- ested, and leave the way open for propositions from the various towns and communities desiring an interur- ban railway.
 When originally incorporated, the capital stock was placed at $5O,OOO, but within a short time this will be increased to $300,000. The orig inal plans contemplated building the road only as far as Star City, but at this time it is proposed to go beyond Pine Bluff as far as Monticello or Wilmar at either of which places connection can be made with the Warren branch of the Iron Mountain.
 The two surveys that have been made pass through a territory of great natural resources and through number of prosperous little towns. The promoters claim that by building their line on the south side of the river they will be able to reach Mon- ticello with an expenditure of much less money than the route proposed on the north side, the saving result ing from their hot having to build bridge across the Arkansas river.
 Mr. Campbell and MT. Seymour have made several trips over the pro- posed route and declare that the peo- pie of Pine Bluff and adjoining towns kAA 1CAOlAS3 ouppOlI
 The two surveys in the possession of the company were completed June 15, and the blue prints and plans showing the routes contemplated have been prepared for exhibition.
 A proposition has already been made to Monticello, and the people of that town have made one in return, but before either is closed, Wilmar, a Junction point on the Warren branch of the Iron Mountain, will be given a chance to speak.
 One of the most important adyan- tages claimed for the southern route is the fact that it avoids crossing a great amount of swamp land and low lying territory such as would be en- countered, it is said, by building on the north side of the river.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitu- tiOnal disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes- timonials.

THE IRON HORSE IN AGRICUL
TURE

One of the most interesting as well
as Important economic developments in
the realm of agriculture in the past
ten years has been the remarkable
utilization of steam and gasoline mo-
tor power IN the doing of many kinds
Of farm work. The old time horse
power sweep was put out of business
a long time ago. More recently the
iron horse has been called into service
to pull Il gang Of from six to ten
plows, to disk and harrow the land, to
haul heavy loads to market, to build
good roads-in every instance displac-
ing a large number of horses. The in
PRODUCTION Of gasoline tractors in the
semarid portions Of the west, where
water and fuel are at a premium, has
gone on at rapid rate, with the result
that they are now firmly established
having proved their efficiency in vir
tualy every position in which they
have been tried. One manufacturer,
who has been pioneer in this line OF
work, is looking forward to the time
when from a half to two-thirds Of the
horses now engaged in doing the agri-
cultural work Of the country will be
displaced by oil or alcohol traction en-
gines Of varying size and horsepower.
The twenty horsepower tractor cost
ing $500 is hardly within reach Of
the farmer Of moderate means. but
should one be put on the market cost
| ing half this sum, say $1,000. protita-
Bile use could be found for 1t on almost
any farm of 800 or more acres, or one
could be owned Jointly by four or five
neighbors and used to do the work of
twelve or fifteen horses. The whole
| trend of industry is along the line of
displacement Of hand work and horse
power, and progress along the above
line would be followed with interest

WHAT AiLS HER CHICKENS.

A lady reader Of these notes living
at Buckhart, Ill.,, writes inquiring what
may be the matter with her chickens
She states that she has number of
chickens which stagger, fall over and
have difficulty in getting on their feet
but which seem to be perfectly well
and eat as greedily as the others. She
feeds her poultry corn and oats (most-
ly the former) with melon rinds and
the parings Of all kinds Of vegetables
and fruits. While our correspondent
does not say so, it Is likely that her
chickens are kept in rather close con-
finement in which case the bill Of
fare given would be decidedly insult
ficient from the standpoint Of needed
nutritive elements, it being short in
protein and animal food. That this Is
quite likely the cause of the trouble
seems to be borne out by the fact that
the chickens are not sick, but have
good appetites. When chickens run at
large they get animal and green food
In sufficient quantities. but where they
are closely confined these elements
should be furnished them in the shape
of grass cuttings and meat scraps
while bone forming material In the
shape of oyster shell or ground bone
should be accessible. Whether cen.
fined or not. it would be we'll to sub
stitute wheat screenings or rye in place
Of the corn, while in the former case
green food and animal food should be
provided. 1t is barely possible that
the trouble referred to may have beer
aggravated by the chickens roostins
in damp and i'll ventilated coops Of
houses, in which case the cause should
be removed,
