The Most Common Cause Of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering
than any other disease for the reason that it is
the most common Of all ills. and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that Chnmberlain's
Pain Balm will afford relief and make rest and
sleep possible. In many cases the relief from
pain. which is at srst Temporary. has become
permanent. while in old people subject to chronic
rheumatism, often brough, on by dsmppess or
changes in the weather, a permanent cure cen.
not be expected: the relief from pain which
this nment affords is alone worth many times
its cost. rs and 20 cent sizes for sale by

TO BOND OR
not TO BOND,
THE QUESTION

Does Bismarck want a $4,000 city
hall now, or is it best to wait another
year or two, and until after the pres
ent financial stringency is over, and
erect more pretentious home for our
municipality?
The voters will be called upon to
determine this matter at a special
election to be held on Monday, May
4, to vote on the bonding proposition.
After purchasing a suitable site
there will hardly be money enough
left to erect much of a public build
ing.
1t is quite likely that Bismarck will
soon have magnificent federal build
ing, and as we are now building for
the future as well as the present and
are looking forward to city of great
commercial as well as political impor'
lance, we have somewhat broader
views than formerly, and a $4,000 city
hall proposition for the Capital City
doesn't appeal to some of US as worth
while when the city has such SPLEEN

New York, N. Y, April 3O.-Two
storms, one from the southwest,
which has been advancing rapidly
from the Pacific coast, and another
which has moved more slowly from
the northwest, reached New York in
dead earnest tonight. The storm
from the south brought rain, while
the counter disturbance spread snow
over the western part of New York
state, but blew itself dry before
reaching the city. I"
Here the counter winds of forty
odd miles velocity played havoc in
places, among other things tearing
down dozens of trees in central park.
A square-rigged sailing vessel was
driven ashore off Fire Island and in
the East river a three-masted ship,
all but ran down Bellevue hospital
A tug got line on the vessel as the
latter's long projecting jib boom
seemed about to enter the break
water and ram hole through a
ward. Physicians in the ward were
thrown into panic.
Two hundred bath houses at Con
ey Island were blown down, seas COW
cred Seaside park with a foot Of wat;
er and the Brighton Beach race
track was converted into lake. A
midnight the weather cleared, though
the wind still blew strong and The
barometer continued low.

FAMOUS HORSE MARKET GONE.

Original Of Rosa Bonheurs "Horse
Fair" No Longer Exists.
The famous old horse market in the
Boulevard de pHopital in Paris, where
Rosa Ronheur used to plod about In
mans ettire with pencil and sketch
book, has ceased to exist. No one who
loves horses will regret 1t, says the
Vegetarian, for 1t represented the
acme OF equine discomfort.
The new horse market, in the Rue
Brancion, which was inaugurated re-
Gently, is mDia' OF its kind. It COM
prises stables and sheds sufficient to
shelter 800 horses, more comfortably
than most Of the poor beasts which
come to it have ever known.
It includes an abattoir, where
horses that are injured or otherwise
rendered unfit for service will be
turned into butchers meat. About
5000 horses are slaughtered for food
In Paris every year, and the number
is on the increase, go the need Of q
special abattoir, well organized and
closely inspected, has long been felt.
The market and abattoir were built
by private company, which will turn
the property 0vsr to the city at the
end OF seventy years.

The AirshIp in War.


The dirigible balloon, or airship. as
it is usually called, is now an estab-
lished success, and is sure to play an
important part In future wars. The
French government is taking the lead
in the matter, and will soon have a
whole feet of aerial cruisers, capable
of sailing over this euemy's defenses
and dronping hundreds of pounds Of
dynamite into their Notifications; or
of gliding quietly oat at night over
battleship, and DROPPING down on her
enough dynamite to send her, shat
tered wreck, with al Ion board, to the
bottom Of the sea.
Germany is also making rapid
strides in this work. Count Zeppelin.
working under the patronage of the
government, has built the largest and
probably the most scientifically plan
ned airship ever constructed.-From

the firemen and the city dads, temper
arily and without bond issue, on it's
own property.
It happens that the city owns lot.
25x140, very centrally located, on
Fourth street, between Broadway and
Thayer, and on this lot it has been
suggested that the city build two,
story structure, providing for the fire
men and city prisoners and for the
council in the fronet part of the sec.
ond floor.
Such building, it has been esti.
mated, can be erected for less than
$4,000, and inasmuch as the location
is such that it would probably always
be desirable to retain the property for
one of the city fire companies, the in.
vestment will be permanent and JUS
tifiable
Such building would be more eco
nomical to maintain and answer ali
requirements for a few years, reliev
ing the city of the present expense OF
rentals for council chamber and
headquarters for our fire department
If the citizens had positive assur
ance from the city council that the
present property of the city would be
improved and utilized as suggested, II
is not at all probable that bonding
proposition would carry at this time
and it may not, anyhow.
Herewith Is reproduced the sugges
ton that has been made for the utiliz
alton of the Fourth street property:

Indications That the Con.

Turn on Leaders
Cannon WeakenS Rather Than
Have Members Sign
Up Against Him

Washington, D. c., April 3O.-Rep-
resentative Townsend of Michigan,
has received the assurance of Speak
er Cannon, conveyed through Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican whip in the house, that the
speaker is not ayerse to- action at
this session Of congress on an anti
injunction law to amend, the Sher-
man antitrust act and that bills for
that purpose will be reported within
a few days to the house from the
Judiciary committee. This action
grew out of the step taken by Mr..
Townsend to obtain signatures of
enough Republican members to call
a caucus to commit majority fafor-
ably to such measures.
A statement was made today by a
prominent Republican in the house
that movement is on foot, backed
by between thirty and forty members
of the majority, to refuse consent
to the passage of any financial bill
at this session until assurance has
been given that something will be
done toward placing wood pulp on
the free list. -.s4.ys>,+sssa

Gyroscope and Bicycle.

One of the most wonderful instru-

Some of the facts in connection with
this scientific toy have been the cause
of much Investigation and study
among men of science. A
bicycle really consists of two gyro-
scope-like wheels. When these are In

force to change the direction of either

TOOK $1,000
PACIFIC CASHIER AT
VALLEY CITY SHORT THE.
ABOVE SUM.
JUMPS THE COUNTRY AND. HIS
WHEREABOUTS IS UN-
KNOWN.

Valley City, N. D., April 30.-A war
rant has been issued by Judge w. w.
Smith of this city for the arrest of. fl,
A. Kesler.
Mr.. Kesler is accused in the war.
rant of defaulting in the sum of 81 900.
The complaint is made by the North
ern Pacific railroad, whose local cash
Ter and freight agent he has been for
number of years. The accused man
was very popular and held in high es-
TEEN by everybody in Valley City
When he disappeared his friends were
slow to believe any evil of him, and
it was thought that he was mentally
deranged. He was hard working
man, and it is believed that the com
pany had simply worked him to death,
and that he had wandered away as
the result of a nervous breakdown,
caused by working day and night. The
company was slow in issuing any war
rant for his arrest, and it was thought
that his books, which were in bad
shape, would be found correct when
Strengthened out. The result of the
work of experts on the books has been
startling. The affairs of the office are

sible to get at the amount of the short
age. 1t is expected that it is some.
thing like $4,000, but it may be more.
In order that no mistake may be made
in the prosecution, the complaint
names $1,000, which it can be proved,
without trouble, he has embezzled
Whatever over that amount he took
it would be hard to prove, owing to
the condition of the records of the
Office.
What did Kesler do with the mon.
ey. This question has made no end
of trouble for the officers. He was a
man who did not live high; he did moi
sport; he was hard working, unos
tentatious man. The $50 month he
received would be ample to support
his. family and allow him to lay By
something, from all appearances.
1t seems that clue to the solution
