The following extracts are from
a repolt made from the New Orleans
Board of trade, and indicates the
plan of operation of independent
telephone companies:
In considering the organization Of
a new telephone company, one must
never lose sight of the fact that the
construction, maintenance and opera
tion are so linked together as to be
inseparable, and an honest telephone
company must be all these three
things In one. The construction of
telephone plant is never complete.
Every new subscriber entails fresh
construction. The plant must be
maintained and cared for out OF the
money received for services rendered
by the operating department. The
three departments are interviewer
and interdependent and must stand
or fall together.
But one OF the reasons which have
brought about so many failures VI
Independent telephone companies is
that promoters have found that the
best way to get quick returns IL to
make a profit on the construction OF
the plant and they certainly de.
serve great credit for the clever
manner in which they secure their
end.
An application Is made to the city
council for franchise which the
investing public generally regards as
something of great value, but which
after all is merely the permission to
do business. The rates proposed to
be charged are limited In the fran
chise, and the promoters claim that
under them they will be able to
make liberal profits.
Canvassers are then sent out after
subscribers to the new system
which Is not yet built-and advan-
tage Is taken Of the agitation to get
people to sign ironclad five-year
contracts. Then the construction
company is formed. It is directly or
indirectly controlled by the promo
tiers, and bonds far In excess OF the
cost OF construction are issued, to-
gether with an equal amount of
stock. These securities of the tele-
phone company are turned over to
the construction company, and the
plant is erected.
But as soon as the construction
company has unloaded tits securi-
ties and taken Its profits, the service |
begins to fall of and the profits be- |
gin to dwindle. II the number OF |
subscribers Increases at all rapidly. |

new GRAND FORKS
CHURCH OPENED
FIRST MASS WAS HELD IN ST,
MlcHAEL'S MAGNIFICENT
NEW EDIFlcE ON SUNDAY.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct 1s.--Sunday
was an important day in the history
OF the Catholic church in this city, for
l. marked the formal opening of the
main auditorium of the new st. Mich
ael's church. The new church is UNI
doubtedly the finest building of its
kind in the northwest and will, cost
when completed over 100000. No ex-
pensc has been spared in the construc-
tlon Of the edfice nor in the interior
furnishings, which are rich and sub
stantial in every particular. The
building is now practically completed,
only few finishing touches being left
to be taken care OF.
Located as it is, the church structure
dominates the northern half of the city
and is the most prominent building to
be seen on approaching the city by
train. The church is located on the
corner of Sixth street and Dakota ave-
nue. facing on the avenue with a broad
sweep of steps that commands atten-
ton. The home of the priest, Rev.
Father E. j. Conaty, is located just
back of the church and is connected
with II by a pasage-way for use In
the stormy weather.
The edifice is a massive one with two
immense towers and is Romanesque in
architecture. 1t is built OF Menomi-
nee pressed brick trimmed with gran
its, provided with a splendid basement
as well as a chapel and main auditor
iunl. Looked at from any angle the
outlines of the building are very pleas
ing. suggesting strength and massive
ness.
The completion Of the new church
means much to the Catholics Of Grand
Forks and is the elimination Of long
years OF struggle. The Catholic church
In Grand Forks was organized in 1877,
with Rev. Father Hubert as pastor.
A chapel was built IN 1881, and in
1882 a brick church, the largest in
North Dakota, was erected. This was
partially destroyed by a cyclone in
1887 and was rebuilt with some i'm
provements The pastors since Faith

Nervous Dyspepsia
and Neurasthenia
Weakness Of the Nervous System Of
ten Dependent Upon Long Con-
tinusd Indigestion.

Neurasthenia, also known as "ner-
yous exhaustion" nervous debility"
and nervous prostration," is a dis
ease, which in these modern. strenu-
GUS times is becoming more and more
prevalent, It is q condition in which
there is more or less marked and
persistent loss Of energy, together with
considerable irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trou-
BILE are easily excited and irritated;
cannot do as much work as formerly,
and In attempting any mental effort,
quickly become confused,aand are I'M
able to concentrate the attention.
They also complain Of insomnia, ner-
yous indigestion, depression of spirits,
and palpitation of the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
ness; the person cannot walk very far,
and tires quickly on attempting physi-
cal exertion. There is ringing In the
ears blurring Of eyesight; headache
and vertigo; specks floating before the
eyes, and a general restlessness. The
ability to sustain prolonged intellect
ual effort is interfered with, and the
patient imagines he is losing his mem
ory.
Neurasthenics continually watch for
new symptoms, unconsciously exag-
gerate the old ones, attaching undue
Importance to them. Causeless fear is
often suffered from; a dread of some
impending danger: extreme pessim-
ism; dark forebodings and hysteria.
Sleep is not refreshing and the person
feels much more tired in the morning
than at night, Horrible dreams and
nightmare are usually complained Of.
But by far the most prominent man
hesitation OF Neurasthenia is nervous
dyspepsia. In nearly every case, this
disturbance of the stomach dominates
the complaint Cause and effect may
be transposed, and dyspepsia may be
the result of Neurasthenia, but often
er, indigestion is the original cause
of the nervous condition. The nerves
are simply starved" because the
stomach does not digest the food prop
erly, and as the nerves are dependent
upon the food which the blood alb
serbs from the stomach for their sus-
tenance, any deprivation thereof is
sure to cause nerve weakness.
The use of nerve tonics" in this
condition is a mistake; they merely
stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve
tissue. Completely digested food is
the only true nerve builder and
and in the treatment of
exhaustion one should first
cure the nervous dyspepsia, which is
usually the origin of the trouble, by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in
doses of one or two after each meal,
or whenever needed, and the long train
of nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia.
This celebrated remedy is without
peer in the treatment of nervous in
digestion and in fact. indigestion of
any kind. They digest all the food
with great thoroughness, and facili-
tate it's absorption by the blood, which
carries it to the weakened, diseased
nerves and builds them up, so that
every symptom of nervous exhaustion
is gotten rid OF.

WOMAN ATTACKED

ANIMAL STAMPED UPON HER

Gus WOUNDS.

Hillsboro. N. D.. oct 1s.-when
Mrs. c. H. Bagiien went to the stable
to milk the cow she was knocked
down and trampled underfoot by the
animal. Her cries attracted the at
tention of o. o. SyGte, who managed
with difficulty to drive the cow away
from the stable to rescue the badly
injured woman.
When medical assistance arrived 1t
was found that Mrs. Baglien had sus-
tanned an ugly scalp wound, one ear
was almost completely severed from
the head, one hip and one arm are
badly bruised and her entire body is
covered with more or less painful
bruises and abrasions.
Fortunately, it appears, she escaped
without internal injuries, and while
still confined to her bed and unable
to move she will probably recover

CHAFFEE CASE
BATTLES POLICE
BOTH SWIM Oilers IN THE $4,000
GOLD BRICK GAME HAVE
COVERED TRACKS.

Minneapolis, Oct 1s.-E. w. Chaffee,
son of H, r. Chaffee, of Amen
la, the victim of the S25, 900
gold-brick swindle perpetrated last
Tuesday, returned home last night but
before leaving had a long conference
with his father over the telephone.
This resulted in the offer OF 81 900
reward for the arrest and conviction
Of either Of the swindlers, or $4,000
for the arrest and conviction of both.
With this reward the police hope for
success in rounding up the two men
who carried out the greatest gold-bric
swindle on record. At present the po-
lice admit they are baffled and have
no clue whatever on which to work.
Both swindlers have covered their
tracks successfully, and though the
authorities of the northwest and the
entire country have been notified, eth
er directly by the Minneapolis police
department or through the newspapers.

He seemed greatly pleased but

HANNA SUGGESTS
CURRENCY REFORM
N. D. CONGRESSMAN WOULD
HAVE A MORE STABLE CUR
RENcY-WANTs MORE
RESERVE CITIES.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 1s.-Con-
gresham L. B. Hanna of North Da-
kota is quoted as follows by The Min
neapolis Journal which has secured
statements from number of north
west statesmen regarding the currency
question:
II have not given very much study
to this central bank plan, and would
not wish to state positively as yet as
to the position / will take upon It, /
am very much interested in trying to
see something done which will give us
a stable currency and which will be off
help should we have another money
pants as we had in 1907. / have talked
with a good many of the bankers in
North Dakota, and find that most of
them are at sea as regards it. They
do not understand really what the plan
is or will be. They are all in favor of
something being done, but as to just
what the right method is they are not
sure. i believe that one thing that
would help us out a great deal in the
matter of surrency, and that would do
1t at once, would be to make national
bank currency full legal tender for all
debts, both public and private, so that
this currency would figure in the re-
serve of national banks as well as any
other kind Of money.
More Legal Tender.
II cannot see why this should not be
done. The currency of the national
government bond. There is a per
cent reserve fund as additional secur-
ity deposited with the treasurer of the
United States, and in addition 1t is a
first letn upon the assets of the bank
If that currency is not good then /
do not know of any currency that is
The government is about to issue more
bonds for the purpose of building the
Panama canal, and it is a question
whether they can float them at 2 per
cent. If national bank currency were
made full legal tender, the banks would
readily take all the Panama bonds at
2 per cent and issue currency against
them; as it is now, the government will
probably have to pay 3 per cent, as
bond at per cent, simply for an
investment, is not very attractive
There ought to be also, in connection
with that, some plan devised by which
national bank currency could be ex-
panded or contracted more readily than
it can be at the present time. Under
the present law, the amount of nation
al bank currency which can be re-
deemed in any one month is altogether
to small
Wants More Reserve Cities.
Il believe, also, that in order to keep
the money scattered throughout our
country, there should be reserve cities
for national banks. That, perhaps,
might be called reserve cities of the
third class. AT the present time there
are three reserve cities Of the first
class, New York, Chicago and st.
Louis, which carry 20 per cent of their
deposits in actual legal tender. The
reserve cities of the second class must
be cities of over $4,000 people and must
carry a part of their reserves in cash
and the balance with banks in the re-
serve cities Of the first class. There are
"a number of natural points in the

on the coast, being the center about
which things political. social and fnan-
cial revolved.
The new Palace occupies an entire
city block in the heart OF San Fran
cisco. The building and land are worth
$6,000,000 and the furnishings and
equipment as much more, making an
investment of more than $4,000, 900,
1t will have over 700 rooms.
This, with the magnificent Fairmont
hotel which is operated by the same
company, gives more than 1900 rooms
to this one concern, making it the larg-
est hotel organization in the world.

WHY sucH A DISCRIMINATION

was a flat failure, 50 far as any cele-
bration OF the day by the use of the
flour was concerned. No doubt it
was found to be exceedingly difficult
to procure II from the millers in
pure state, from which the inference
might be that 1t is mixed with other
varieties and finds it's market as flour
under the name Of some Of the well
known brands with which we are
familiar. AS for the grain itself it is
being raised in increasing quantities
and will soon become a strong rival
of the blue stem and fife varieties
and this on it's own merits regardless
Of Durum Day or other adventitious
aids. In the meantime, farmers and
others are asking why there should be
such a discrimination in price against
the cereal when so many millions OF
bushels are being marketed, yet none
is forthcoming in its own name.
