ERERHART ON FARMING.
Minnesota Governor Addresses CHI
cago Convention.

Chicago, Illinois.-Gov. Adolph o.
Eberhart of Minnesota, in an address
here before the National Fairs and
Exposition association, made plea
for better farming in America.
"We have made this country the
model Of the world in our free schools
and republican form of government" "
said Governor Eberhart. while we
have demonstrated the possession of
the greatest agricultural resources on
the globe and have supplied the
worlds markets with an unparalleled
volume of farm products, we have ex-
hibited a vast and alarming weakness
in the depletion of our soil resources
and the reduction of yield and profit
per acre under cultivation.
During the last so years in which
we have made such tremendous strides
in manufacturing and commerce we
have. lost in soil fertility, as estimated
by economic authorities. a wealth that
would maintain our population for cen
turies.
The starvation of our soil has
aroused the entire nation and halt
should be called until remedies can
be applied to stop this great and un'
necessary waste. We find many farms
show decrease in yield per acre due
to persistent single cropping. the very
cause that has produced farm poverty
from time immemorial."

Earth timber to prevent their cutting
any more timber from the lands or
removing the timber from lands on

1t is understood here that there is a
remote possibility of the case being
settled out of court, but under the
present plans the government expects
to start civil proceedings as soon as
the representatives of the department
of justice have arranged matters at

that the Indians had been sufferers in
many transactions and had been in
duced to dispose of their allotments
bearing valuable timber. Timber esti-
mated to be worth $5,OO0.0O0 is said to
be involved in the proceedings which
will be started in the federal court
Secretary Ballinger sent a recon-

proceedings be started against the
several purchasers of the Minnesota
Indian lands or the persons to whom
they mad conveyed the lands.
1t is also asked that the court take
every other action that is necessary
to protect the rights of the Indians.

DEEP-SEATED COUGH
CURED IN FIVE HOURS.
New Homemade Syrup.
(CuC CulS OUI.
From Boston Post.

Progress in medical compounds
never ceases, and now it is stated by
a prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured in five
hours by the clock. Opium or NOR
phine have been resorted to in the
past, as relief measures. But now it
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid it of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrurp does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished in hours.
Get this formula filled or mix it at
home and always keep it on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
toned up. Give children less according
to age. One filling will usually cure
q whole family. as the dose is small.

at the sacrifice of bob he had to get

head out of the door he called up to
the driver: You are right, Bill; it

not convicted. the same evidence
would not prove strong enough to
convict the daughter. thinks the
