Park a Beauty SPOT.

Owing to the perseverance of Street
Commissioner Ganzenmuller, Central
park. in Sea Cliff. N. Y. has been re-
deemed from its former condition of
untidiness and is fast assuming the
look of an up to date and pretty park.
The park. which is quite near the
center of the village, was filled with
dead chestnut trees when Mr.. Ganzen-
muller took office. One of his first Of
fetal acts was to ecure permission to
cut the trees down and put the lumber
so obtained to good use for the village.
Later on the stumps were attacked
and removed. Now the entire park
has been leveled and graded. Paths
are being laid out, and the ground will
be seeded down to grass. and other
things will be planted.
The value of the surrounding prop
erty has been increased by the changed
appearance of the park.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL.

Even the Mail Order Catalogue, TAX.
ing Money From Town, Has Its Uses.
The catalogues of the mail order
houses. beyond their utility in promot-
ing the sale of merchandise of the
stores which issue them, are further
valuable In the matter of stimulating
wants and creating demand for a va
riety of articles not found ordinarily
in the stocks of local stores.
Merchants striving to get and keep
the home trade Of their towns to
which they are entitled justly have
been heard to express very favorable
opinions of the value Of such cata-
logues, inasmuch as they assemble in
an indexed volume and in detail all
the ordinary articles Of merchandise
with which dealers need to stock their
stores and give them at the same time,
when direct quotations are lacking,
some idea of ruling prices for unfa-
miliar merchandise.

"Good news travels fast" and the
thousand of bad back sufferers in Lang

is within their reach. Many a lame,
weak and aching back is bad no more,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citi-

Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
Mrs. I. Olson, of Langdon, N. OAK,
says: "a member of our family has
used Doan's Kidney Pills and thinks
very highly of them. Off and on for
years this person suffered from pain,
weakness and lamness in the back and
other annoying symptoms of kidney
complaint. Before a storm the pain in
the back and limbs made their appear

plant to become worse. Doan's Kidney
Pills soon brought about a change for

STATE LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The medical practice bill also has
gotten through the house and goes to
the senate for action. The bill aims
to define medical practice and the
practice of ether alleged healing arts,
and while it is not satisfactory to a
good many of the medical fraternity,
who do not like to see Christian Sci
ence and osteopathy recognized in
the terms of a medical bill, it is prob.
ably the best that can be obtained,
considering the pressure that has been
brought to bear by the osteopaths,
Christian Scientists and others prac-
ticing various arts of healing.

Woman suffrage is still a live issue.
The suffrage committee of the senate
reported the bill back for indefinite
postponement, but a minority of the
committee reported In favor of the
adoption of a constitutional amend
ment favoring the extension of suf-
frage. HEREINAFTER went to the COM
mittee of the whole senate and after
playing horse for a while the senate
reported progress without taking n
definite action.

There are already half a dozen re-
ap%portionIaent bills in. There is much
interest in the matter of congressional
apportionment and Congressman Elect
Helgesen has been at the capitol for
several days taking an interest in the
probable division of the state. The
placing of the Red River valley, in
Guiding Cavalier county, in one dis
trict would mean a fight between Hell
gesen and Hanna for the survival of
the fttest and that is not desired by
either congressman. The prevailing
sentiment seems to be that the Valley
should be left in one district, but
those in favor of the other division
seem to be doing the hardest work
among the members.
