G. B, LITTLE
CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SENATE.

Attorney Miller is a new m 7. S.
Snyder is now serving his second term
as county treasurer, and he should try
for the lower house, instead of a little
county Office. Henry Gilbert is a very
old resident of the county; it's said he
lived at the Butte SO long that the men,
DRY of We oldest inhabitant cannot re-
member the time when there were no
Gilberts there. He has been clerk so
long that the younger generation think
he was appointed by Washington. N.
D. Nichols is a Jimtown boy, but, he
lived at Medora many years, is now
Justice of the peace. Karl Olson is a
new conner and is now cashier in a bank
at this place. George E. Burgess is now
serving his sixth year as register and is
a o efficient official. He will be hard
to replace, but he will be reelected.
The Beach-Medora lineup is: Joseph
A. Ferris for the senate. ia. McGregor
for auditor, Medora man; sheriff, Chas.
Will, Medora; clerk of court, Geo. L.
Nelson; treasurer, Carroll, Beach; reg
lister of deeds, George f. Burgess, Me-
dora.

is when he gets into the game with Joe
Ferris. George L. Nelson is a new
conner and the editor of the Billings
County Herald. J. A. McGregor is now

some twenty years and must have been,
that is, its financial affairs, administered
in very honest manner, taking into con-
sideration the small indebtedness and
present low rate of taxation.

deal it is safe to say he has the
confidence and respect of every
one. He has served as chairman
of the most important construct
i've committee in the senate for
years and his work has been done
clearly and creditably.
This is big state. 1t has varied
resources and varying conditions.
AS has,been pointed out, the ques-
ton of sectionalism should not
arise in it. And yet it is fair. that
the representation Of the state
should be balanced geographically
and that the western part of the
state should have representation
upon the congressional delegation.
No one doubts but Mr.. Little, if
chosen to the senate, would de-
vote his best efforts, energy and
ability to promoting the interests
of the state at large, and that he
would be able especially to render
valuable service for the matter of
immigration, irrigation, waterways
and the various matters of legisla-
ton that are becoming live issues
and that will be of special import
ance and value to the western
part of the state.
The primary gives every .candi-
date for office the same advan-
tages before the people. Mr..
Little comes before the voters of
the state as a candidate. at the
primary election. He is arepubli-
can standing ON the republican
platform as it will be writ under
the provisions of the primary.
He has not given the voters any
long platitudes, seeking to befog
them with the profusion of words
that is apparent in some plat
forms. He stands for law enforce
ment, for the best interests of the
people of the state for a. fair and
square deal to all, and for the re-
publican policies adopted by the
state and national republican con-
ventions. He is managing his
own campaign, and asks for the
suffrage of the republican voters
of the state, and his friends have
confidence that so bestowed, it
will never be regretted and that
the state of North Dakota and
the great Missouri Slope country
will have an energetic, able and
fit representative in the United
States senate.

Politics in Billings County

"A dispatch in. the Forum of Feb. II,
dated at Beach, and bearing all the ear
marks of one who has summered and
wintered in Billings county for many
years, gives one an idea that politics are
getting warm in and around Medora,
Sentinel Butte and Beach.
Extracts of the article, with some of
the stings and sarcasm omitted, are as
follows:
The Beach and Sentinel Butte ticket,
as near as can be learned, is: For the
senate, A. L. Martin; for county attorney,
Miller of Beach; for sheriff, ]. IS. Snyder
Of Sentinel Butte; for clerk Of court
Henry Gilbert; for treasurer, N. D
Nichols, Medora; for auditor, Karl Olson
Beach; for register Of deeds, G. E. Bur.

Bright Future for the West

Abercrombie Herald: There will be
a heavy flow of immigration to the newly
organized counties of Dunn, Adams,
Bowman and Hettinger in the spring.
The influx of settlers to that part will
consist mainly of ambitious young peo-
pie who wish to grow up with the coun-
try. The real estate men are booming
this section through extensive advertis-
ing in eastern papers. The country has
a great future.

The Fargo Forum gives the
new Dickinson .armory a good

week from today the new armory
at Dickinson will be dedicated.
1t is declared to be the best one
in the state, and the most attrac
tive in any city of the size of
Dickinson in the union. Stark
county never does anything by
halves, and there should be a
large attendance from all over
the state on the occasion of the
formal opening.

How to Treat Waxed Floors.

Those who have waxed floors In
their dwellings know, according to In
doors and Out, how invaluable turpen-
tine is in cleaning them. With sand
paper or steel wool, dipped in turpen-
tine, the blackest coating, which is apt
to accumulate in winter on waxed
floors not frequently polished, can be
easily and quickly removed, and a
washing with turpentine does much to
brighten up any waxed floor prepara7
tory to the application Of light fresh
coat Of wax and polishing with the
weighted brush. AS with all other
painters materials, however, turpen-
line Is shamefully adullerated. and
care must be taken to get only the
best and purest from some thoroughly
reliable dealer. The usual adulter-
ant is cheap benZine. and as benzine
turns good floor wax dirty white tur-
pentine so adulterated has an injurious
effect on the floor. The floor "waxes"
made with talIow show less effect
from adulterated turpentine, but the
wise householder will use only those
floor wakes which are made with bees
wax and turpentine, with little par
affin, but no tallow.

CURE FoR DYSPEPSIA.
How This Distressing Ailsnont May

How This Distressing Ailsnont May
Be 5anished Without Drugs.
It is amazing that so common diff
ficulty as dyspepsia should be so little
understood ,:s the general public and
that its remedy should be 80 hard to
find. But it can be cured, and without
any marvellous nostrums. by observing
. few important rules Of health, says
the Kansas City Times. The dyspep-
tic must first fix in his mind the fact
that his ailment is the result OF bad
habits of eating and living and that
these must be changed and that drugs
will do him no good. He must begin
by avoiding all starchy foods, as pota-
toes, rice, oatmeal. beans. etc. Meats,
soft boiled eggs, milk toast. zwieback,
ETC., are the best foods for avoiding
fermentation and the gas that causes
dyspepsia pains. In serious cases but
termilk is one Of the best dependen-
cies. Another is boiled milk with
slight addition of limewater. Either
of these will enable the most chronic
dyspeptic to procure some sustenance
without serious distress.
He should drink freely Of hot water,
at least two quarts day. always tax
ing a glass half an hour before meal
time. He should not crowd his meals
close together, as with an impaired
digestion it is often best to have the
meals six or seven hours or more
apart. The rule to be followed is that
q new meal should not be eaten until
the previous one is digested or out Of
the way and the stomach has had a
little rest and there must be further
rest after eating.
It is absolutely essential to eat slow
" and chew with the greatest thor
oughness. Complete chewing in the
mouth, permitting no washing down
with coffee or tea, salivates the food
so that it is ready for digestion when
it goes into the stomach. and persis-
tence will put good flesh on any lean
dyspeptic There is theory that when
solid food Is chewed in the mouth to
an absolute pulp that the organs in
the back of the mouth exercise q selec-
tive action and send to the stomach
only that which is fitted to be convert
ed into blood and tissue, thus relieving
the digestive organs Of handling the
waste. Whether or not this is correct
is for the science of the future to de-
termine. Certain it is that nature gave
us grinding teeth for the purpose Of
chewing our food and never Intended
that we should swallow it unchewed,
as do those animals baving more than
one stomach.

How to Renovate Old Silk.

Old silk renovated in the following
way will retain its luster and look as
well as when new, says Harper's Ba-
zar: Put two ounces Of alcohol, ia
Of mucilage or strained
honey, q rounded tablespoonful of soft
soap dissolve a small piece Of good
quality in water) and two cups Of soft
water in bottle and shake until well
mixed. Sponge the silk on both sides
with the mixture, rubbing well, and
then shake up and down in a tub Of
cold or cool water, neither rubbing nor
wrlnging. Hold by the edge and flap
off the water, pin the edges to the line,
and while still damp iron between
cloths or paper with an iron only mod
erately hot.

The general demand for novelties
stimulates the inventors, designers
and manufacturers with results that
in many instances are very gratify-
Ing to the seeker for the latest dec
orative and useful productions.
Royal copper and silver have the
preference this season in metals, the
former showing peculiarly bright
luster The combination is delight
fully represented in vases and loving
ours, two examples of which are
shown in the accompanying group.
The mounting of silver presents an
effective contrast to the reddish
gleam of the copper and these orna.

ceive much attention from the ad.
mirers of artistic metal work.
The cigar case shows how copper
mounting is utilized to impart e

of royal copper is the latest thing III

that has developed OF late for furni-
ture of this dark wood, both in the
mission style and more ornate de-
signs The mounting Of silver re-
lieves the excessive plainness OF the
fern holder and for library or an
apartment where dark oak furniture
predominates this 1ardiniere would
make most harmonious addition.

clock would fit in admirably, the sim
plicity Of the casing and its dark coi-
orng adding to its appropriateness.
Clocks such as these are not to be
had for song, and therefore are not
likely to become very common.

BABY sUPERsTITIONS
Queer Beliefs Of Mothers tn All
Quarters of the
World.

All the world over the mother has
aueer superstitions about her. baby.
Here are some of the queerest OF
them from the. four corners OF the
earth.
In Roumania the infants ankle Is
bound up with a red ribbon immedi-
ately after birth to ward off the evil
spirits.
In Ireland, for the same reason, a
strand Of woman's hair is placed in
the cradle.
In the West Indies the negroes fol-
low the same customs as the women
in Roumania but their ribbon is
blue instead of red. If they have 10
ribbon they make a mark with wash
ing blue upon the child.
In Russia there is a superstition
that baby and a kitten cannot
thrive in the same house. One is
sure to pine away and die, SO pussy
is always driven away as soon as a
baby comes.
Most English women think it is ex-
tremelT unlucky to carry a baby
downstairs before it has journeved
upward. If the baby is born on an
upper floor and there are no stairs to
climb, the mother must hold her
darling high up in the air, standing
upon a chair or table and only then
can it be taken downstairs in safety.
This superstition is also common in
France and Germany. and even in
some parts Of this country.
Another English superstition is
that the baby who does not cry when
it is christened will have bad luck all
through life If the infant insists on
being good, the mother pinches it to
make the cry come.
In Spain the women say that a
baby under year old should not be
allowed to look in a mirror; other
wise, it will grow up proud and
naughty.
Most mothers are very much alarm
ed when their babies fall out Of bed
or off their laps, but in India the wo,
men think it is an excellent omen. In
Ireland there is similar superstition
which says that unless the baby falls
out of bed four times before it is s
year old it will be hopeless idiot.

How to Care For the Piano.

A piano is as sensitive to cold and
heat as an invalid, so 1t must not be
put too near a fire or the wood Is
drawn by the heat. Never leave 1t near
an open window If it Is raining or this
will rust the wires and mold the in
side. Such an instrument should not
be put too close to q wall or the sound
will be deadened, and it should be kept
closed when not In use. The keys
should be busted daily with an old silk
handkerchief If they become yellow
from neglect, rub them with lemon
juice and little whiting. Do not let
the dust fall between the keys.

SOLITUDE.

To minsle with the universe and feel
What I can ne'er express. yet cannot all
