DR.. w. V. Daniels OF MARION, lnu.,
is registered at the Grand Pacific.
| The doctor is here to see farm he
has owned for a number of years. 1t
lies near Gwyther in Morton county
and the owner never saw 1t. He Is
out here to look at 100 acres of good
| flax raised on the ground this year.
The land cost the doctor S. an acre
some years ago and he says it is
| now worth $25. He also says he Is
| in the market for some more cheap
land and his attention has been d.
! rected to the northern. part of Bur-
leigh county. DR.. Daniels is cele'
| brated character in the middle states.
About 20 years ago he located
! Kelly institute in Marion and since
that time he has turned out thousands
| of graduates. When asked what per-
centaga of graduates stuck, the doc
tor said 80. That is to say 20 people
out of 100 who take the liquor cure
lapse, while the 80 who remain never
20 back to the use of intOxicants. AS
a result of his long connection with
the cure the doctor has z>ade friends
and acquaintance in nearly every
state in the Union. Zone OF the
unique features of my experience"
said the doctor last night while in
reminiscent mood, "was my dealings
| with a firm of saloOnkeepers. You
would naturally think that the saloon
keeper would be an enemy to my bust
ness, but this is not so. The liquor
dealer who possesses good sense is
not only friendly to my business but
y I1,sco
to take the cure. The firm l have In
mind was composed of two young
men who did the chief liquor busi'
ness in town of 10000 people. They
were heavy drinkers before they went
into the retail liqour trade, and of
course the business did not check
their appetite for intoxicants. They
took the cure at my sanitarium and
for a number of years sent me pa
tients from their list of customers.
l have known them to loan the money
to meet the expenses and in some in
stances did not get it back. But they
did not seem to regard my business
as unfriendly to theirs; in fact they
regarded it as Unnecessary adjunct"
Dr. Daniels will visit the big Indus
trial Exposition before returning to
his home.

H. E. Bowen of the new Hwn of
Wing was in the city today. Mr..
Bowen says Wing is two and a half
miles off the Wilton branch of the
500 and is the coming new town of
Burleigh county. There are at pres
ent two big department stores,
hotel, livery stable and blacksmith
shop. "Of course we do not expect
to secure the state capitol" said Mr..
Bowen. "but We are arranging to be-
come the county seat as soon as Bur.
leigh is divided.

THAT is one of the best looking
( young ladies l have seen in North
Dakota" remarked travelling man
| to a companion on Main street last
night She dresses in excellent taste
and carries herself like a queen. 1t
is a pleasure to see such woman"
"You are right, it is pleasure" re-
marked the friend of the first speak
err. "When l get too old to admire a
| pretty woman am through with life.
That young lady lacked only one
thing to make her perfect to the
sight," continued the second speak
er. IF you were close observer you
might have noticed that the heel on
her left shoe is worn off the least
bit, which throws her foot to one side
when she puts it down. Ten cents
invested with cobbler would rem
edy this defect. 1t is a pity to mar
such picture of loveliness with 50
trifling thing as worn shoe heel

"Do you note that common looking
man over there chewing his cigar
and listening like martyr to that
fellow who is telling him how exposi-
tons ought to be run? That is Com
missioner of Agriculture Gilbreath,"
said the speaker in the Mckenzie
lobby. 1T Is surprising how many
men bob up with advice at such times
as these. l wish you would print
these lines, taken from a Washington
newspaper, for Mr.. Gilbreath's edifi-
cation:
I'D like to call attention to
Old Jabez Jones once more.
His words was allus mighty few.
His fancies didn't soar.
He plodded 'mongst his Teller men,
Plain, faithful an exact.
| He hadn't much to say-but then
He reco'nized the fact
''When others thrilled with phrases
| fair
| OF studied eloquence,
You'd allus find old Jabez there,
| A patient audience
He loved the grace of voice or pen
That he entirely lacked.
He hadn't much to say-but then
| He reco'nized the fact.
He found welcome everywhere
Such as but few kin win.
| His way was talent fine an rare
Fur never buttin' in.
His .soothin' presence helped US when
Our nerves an ears was racked.
He hadn't much to say-but then
Ho roon'ni1od
