of this city, has just issued its sec
ond annual catalogue from the press
of The Republican for distribution
among its many customers through
out the state and some towns in vest
ern Iowa, the territory that the COM
pany aims to cover. The catalogue
contains LOG pages, is finely printed
and is we'll illustrated with the var
ious lines of goods carried by the
company. Their warehouse on Rail-
road street is filled from basement
to the second floor with an immense
line of furniture. A portion Of the
second floor is utilized as a sample
room to make a display of their goods
for the benefit of out of town custom
ers. The company has two travelling
men on the road at the present time
and will start out the third within a
very short time. The company has
had no trouble in selling their goods
since the day they opened for bust
ness and the South Dakota retailers
have shown a commendable pride and,
spirit in buying their goods from Z
South Dakota establishment. They
have found that they can buy as cheap
and cheaper than at more remote
points and at the same time can se-
cure their goods much quicker, which
of itself is a big help to the retail
dealer.
The company has now fairly under .
way a fine manufacturing adjunct to
their furniture business in the way OF
a mattress factory. This was started
some five or six months ago on q
small scale and has been constantly
enlarged as the business grew. At
the present time the company has
three men and three women at work
in the factory and they cannot keep
up with their orders. The company
does not attempt to make the very
best grades of mattresses, but is turn
ing out a good line consisting of cot
ton tops, reversibles, combinations
and cotton felts. These mattresses
that have been sold to dealers in all
parts of the state have received nne
as being in many ways
superior to eastern made goods. At
the present time j. w. Broadbent u
in the east making purchases of ma
terial for the mattress factory to
avoid any delay in future shipments.

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
kodol will digest It.

You need . sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach il
it Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, aud let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

MILWAUKEE, ROAD IS NOW
WORKING Mile FROM MOTT

Mott, N. D., Oct. 19.-Of, all the
many pleasing features incident to
living at Mott, probably the most i'm
pressive just now is the significance
of railroad operations. It is no more
a matter of conjecture as 70 where
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound railway intends to traverse
this particular section of the county.
The big grading machines are work
ing with full foce just mile south
east of Mott, headed directly for the
south side of the county seat, passing
in a northwesterly direction within a
few hundred feet of the Barth Nero.
company's store. The latest report
is that their depot which will be
built of white pressed brick, is to
be located in the extreme northeast
corner of the Mrs. Steakc quarter,
and will be up-to-date in every par
ticular.
Right of Way Agent Webster states
that the> are now twelve grading
crews on the extension between Nc
Cullough on the mails line, and New
England. There is now about one
third of the grade completed and the
balance is to be pushed as RAPIDLY as
possible. Weather permitting, the
Milwaukee promises to have trains
running into Mott by January 1.

An Outsider Who lnnoeently Made
Himself at Homo.
The American people once elected a
tailor to the presidency, and doubt
less many manipulators of the shears
and goose have sat in the seats Of the
mighty BY election. but only once did
a tailor make himself at home on the
floor of the United States senate when
he had no constituency to represent
The tailor was Hermann Moritz
Riedel of Philadelphia, who visited
Washington in April, 1868. to attend
the exciting scenes during the im-
peachment proceedings against An
drew johnson. a fellow craftsman.
And this is the account of how he
witnessed these proceedings as pub
lished in the Washington Republican
Of that day:
"A good booking Teutonic friend Of
ours a day or two since made ah ear
nest appeal to our Muggins for q tick
ct to the senate to listen to what was
going forward at the impeachment
trial. Muggins, as is his wont. in the
kindness of his soul consented to fur.
nish Teuton with the talismanfc paste
board which effects the open sesame to
the senate chamber and also assured
our friend that he would accompany
him to the gallery and find him an
eligible seat. Muggins and Teuton
started to work their way in. but Mug
gins was detained outside Of the door
for a few moments. and our German
friend went Oh and passed the vigtlant
sentineIs at the outer door and went
directly to the entrance Of the senate
chamber and was admitted by the
gentlemanly. ushers under the belief
probably that be was q member OF
congress and passed through the vesd-
bule and took bis seat in the FIRST va
cant chair and there remained during
the entire session In the confident be-
lief that be was entitled to the seat"
The descendants of Hermann Riedel
are living in Washington now. The
tailor. who was top notcher" at his
trade. according to all accounts, died
in 1877. having declined pension. after
serving as a marine during the civil
war.-Washington Post, Il Oh

MRS. FRED kNEELAND
Died At HER Home In
JAMESTOWN SUNDAY

Jamestown, N. D., Oct 19.-lt is
sad news to many to learn OF the
death of Mrs. Fred G. Kneeland,
formerly Miss Maize Clemens, at her
home on Fourth avenue north, sun
day evening at about 8 o'clock. Mrs
Kneeland has been i'll for some time
but had experienced no serious at
tack until about three weeks ago,
when she was taken with what ap-
peared to be peritionitis. She grad
ually recovered from the attack
which was not deemed alarming, and
last week was able to be up four or
five days, and gave evidences OF get
ting stronger and better. Her physl-
clans decided that while she was
stronger, and anticipating relapse,
the operation, which was deemed
necessary, be performed while con-
ditions appeared so favoable and an
opeation was therefore made Satur-
dav night last; from the immediate
effects of which the patient rallied
and gave every appearance OF rapid
recovery.
The operation disclosed more SER
ious condition than the patient or
her friends were aware of, and 1t
was found necessary to remove adj
hesions and results of long disease,
the trouble appearing to be a com
plication of pe:itionitis and ap2endi-
citis.
The patient Sunday afternoon be-
came much worse and her heart
gave evidences OF weakness that pre-
coded rapid dissolution. Masy of the
friends and accuaintances of the de-
ceased were unaware of her sickness
and few thought it was as serious
condition as in reality existed.
Her death comes as great shock,
not only to her sorrowing husband,
and immediate relatives, but to all
who had the pleasure of her acquain-
lance.

FARGO Lad LOST BOTH
LEGS AS result OF A
FALL ON n. P. TRACKS

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 1S.-Tripping on
a switch guard stand connecting roo
in the N. P. yards just west of Sth
avenue, Floyd Gerard, the 11-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Gerard
q Twelfth street north, was thrown
under a west bound freight train
and sustained injuries so severe that
the amputation of both legs was found
necessary.
The Gerard lad. with two or three
companions, had been playing near
the icehouse, opposite the N. P.
freight house during the afternoon.
When the freight train entered the
yards the boy attempted to catch a
ride. Catching hold of the round on
the side of a coal car. he ran with
the train for several yards in an eff
fort to lift himself onto the car.
Stepping on the rod, he stumbled,
and in an effort to retain his hold
on the car was thrown under the
