An Offer Backed Up by One Of the
Most Reputable Concerns in
Bismarck.

We will either cure you Of consti-
patton or pay for all the medicine

nothing if we fail. That's a mighty
broad statement, and we mean every
word of it. We will back it up with
our own personal reputation, too.
Gould anything be more fair and Sc
cure for you. 49,.
The most scientific, common sense
treatment is Rexall Orderlies. Their
active principle Is a very recent sc1en-
.tidc discovery that is odorless, color
less and tasteless; very pronounced:
gentle and pleasant in its action, and
particularly agreeable in every way.
This Ingredient does not cause any
diarrhoea, nausea, flatulence or grip
Ing. Rexall Orderlies are ss pleasant
TO take as candy and are particularly
good for children and delicate persons

lATHAM'S HOME RUN.

And How It Figured In Having Him
Dubbed "the Dude"
Charley Comiskey told the story Of
how Arlie Latham came to be called
''the dude"

service with the good old st. Louis
Browns" said Comiskey, "he jumped
into the opening game Of the season
and won us a victory by knocking out
a home run in the last inning. Chris

Chris order on the tailor read some
thing like this:
"1Give to Arlie der things vat he

Latham didn't do a thing on the
strength of that order but replenish
his wardrobe. For three days in sue
cession he showed up at the ball park
in a fine makeup, and every suit OF
clothes was brand new. On the fourth
day Chris got bill from the clothing
people for 500. Naturally he sent for
Latham and demanded an explanation.
"'Why, Chris, old pal,' said sLath,
there's nothing to explain. Didn't
you agree in that order you gave me

A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs to
Avonmouth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge, a curious structure to
which a singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Taller. The story
is that person named Cook about a
century ago was told by gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-one. To avert
this he built a high tower and shut his
son in the topmost room with the in
tention Of secluding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by &C
cident 4 viper was taken up in fagot
to the room to light the fire, and It
crept from the fagot and bic the boy
% that he died. Therefore the tower
Wa called Cooks Folly, and that IL its
name to this day, whatever Ii the true
explanation. - s=.e. @..

PROHIBITION DEFEATED IN
The LONG ISLAND DISTRICT
Every Town in the Country Was Car
ried by License Interest by Good
Majority Recently.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Probibition
received a decided setback on Long
Island at the recent election. Every
town from the city line to Monauk
Point was carried by the license inter
ests by from rs to 200 votes. Even
Easthampton where, it is said, there
has not been a barroom for more than
100 years, or since the people of the
town had the right to regulate their
own excise question, was carried by
| the 'wets" by more than 100 majority.
Southampton, dry for years, and
the town where there have been many
convictions for selling liquor by stealth,
declared for license by more than 100
votes.
Riverhead, where the bitterest fight
was made because of the ill-feeling en-
gendered, was carried for license by
200. Southold's wet plurality was $50.
Shelter Island, a dry town, voted for
the sale of liquor in hotels and drug
stores.
Huntington, Islip. Brookhaven,
Babylon and Smithtown all voted the
same way, giving substantial major
! tiles These ten towns make up Suf-
folck county.
In Nassau county, where it was ex-
pected that Hampstead and Oyster
Bay would be carried by the drys, the
vets were also successful.
The results of the elections were
hailed with delight by the business
| men and hotel keepers in the Long
Island villages. The majority of these
were opposed to prohibition from a
| business view point.
| For the first time in the history OF
| the present generation it will be pos
sible for the summer boarder or the
resident of any town on Long Island
| to buy liquor without resorting to
subterfuge.

Sacramento Selling Buttons.

SACRAMENTO, April 24.-Sacra-

sixth annual anniversary of her exis-

tons Mrs w A Gett headed the army
of button sellers. There were three
sizes of buttons-10 cents, so cents
and S. Mayor White buying the first
S. one. The anniversary falls on Sun
day, the 25th, but is being celebrated
today. There was a parade this morn
ing and there will be valuable ath-
letic meet in the afternoon and a river
carnival at night. The latter will be a
novel event The river will be illum-
mated for a distance of several blocks
and all boats will be gayly decorated
with lights. A boat procession will
take place and there will be bands of
music on barges continually.
This will no doubt be one of the
greatest attractions held in Sacramento
for a long time. Thousands of visitors
are expected. Special trains will be
run from all parts of the valley, foot
hills and the vicinity of Stockton. The
local chamber of commerce is directing
the plans.

increased 47.4 per cent during the ten
wears of the Dingley tariff preceding
1907 What could be bought for $72.45
in .Julv. 1897, cost $106.79 in June, 1906.
The rise was steady and gradual.
While wages during the same period
increased nominally Is per cent, the
cost of living increased 29.4 per cent in
advance of wages.
The statistical abstract of the Unit
ed States shows the effect of the Ding
lev law on various commodities. In
reading each of the following compar-
isons It should be borne in mind the
present tariff bill materially increases
the Dingley tariff.
Breadstuffs costing $1,000 in 1895
cost s1S.16 in 1907.
Meats costing sos in 1896 cast 1864
in 1907.
Dairy and garden costing $7.S7 in
1896, cost $14.46 in 1907.
Other food costing $3.50 in 1896 cost
1882 in 1907.
Clothing costing $3.50 in 1896 cost
5000 in 1907.
Metals costing 1928 in 1896 cost
s17.52 in 1907.
Miscellaneous items costing 1882
in 1896 cost 1924 in 1907.
"The increase of the cost of wearing
apparel and foodstuff under the Ding
lev tariff was gradual and steady
said Hon. James M. Graham, of Him
OILS in q master tariff speech in the
house Figures speak eloquently OF
the absolutely scientific manner in
which the workingman's wages are re-
duced in fact although the unions have
been able to obtain a slight nominal
increase They give the laborer IL
cents with one hand and take AZ cents
from him with the other"
The condition of labor at the end
of ten years operation of the Dingley
tariff was shown at meeting OF the
prominent labor men of the country, at
the office of Former Secretary of Com
merce and Labor Oscar S. Straus, on
Feb. 10, 1909.
Samuel Gompers, on behalf of the
American Federation of Labor reported
that he had sent out circular letters to
the executive officers of the interna-
tional trade unions in December, 1908,
and from the replies gathered the fol-
lowing information:
Blacksmiths, so per cent unemployed
those employed averaging about four
days a week; carpenters, 40 per cent
unemployed; cigar makers, 10 per cent
UNEMPLOYED; commercial telegraphers,
80 per cent unemployed; freight hand
lers, 80 per cent unemployed; hod car
riers and building labo"ers. so per cent
unemployed; butcher Workmen, 40 per
cent unemployed, tobacco workers.
working on two thirds time; iron
moulders, 70 per cent unemployed.
Mr.. Gompers said 81 am sure it is
not an exaggeration to say that there
are now in our country, and have been
with very little variation since Octo-
Der, 1907. nearly 100000 wage-earn-
ers unemployed"
Secretary Strauss asked: do you
mean that before that period those
5000, 900 wage earners were employed?'
Mr. Gompers: Il do, sir"
