Statements That May be Investigated.
Testimony of Alexandria
Citizens.

When an Alexandria citizen comes
to the front telling his friends and
neigabors Of his experience, you can
rely On his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence,
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Dcan's Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. Investigation
proves it is true Below is a state
ment Of an Alexandria resident. No
stronger proof merit can be had.
Mrs. j. B. Briscoe, lis Prince street,

allowed my name to be used pub
licly telling of the great amount
of good Doan's Kidney Pills had done,
and at this time my opinion of the

: A Deadlock.

The controversy between the train
men and conductors and the managers
of Southern railways, which has been
referred to Judge Knapp, of the Com
MERGE Court, and Commissioner Neil,
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor. remains far from settlement.
In fact, it was learned last night from
an authoritative source that the mat
tiers under contention are practically
deadlocked, and that neither side to
the controversy seems willing to make
any material concessions, without
which the arbitrator are practically
helpless.
Neither the laboring men approached
on the subject nor the managers VINO
were in the city would talk for publ
cation about the matter, further than
to say that they had presented theiE
side to the arbitrators and the decls-
ion Law with them. Both Judge Knapp
and Commissioner Neil said no declS-
ion had been reached, and that further
conference would follow in the hope OF
finding a basis of settlement.
1t was evident as the delegation OF
railroad men filed cut of the confer
cnce room yesterday afternoon that
they were not in hopeful frame OF
mind.

BREAKS Up A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS

There is not one grain of quinlne
in Pape's Cold Compound, which,
when taken every two hours, until
three consecutive doses are taken,
will surely end the grippe and break
up the most severe cold, either In the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle headache, dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness. sneez-
ing, sore throat, running of the nose,
catarrhal affections, soreness, stiff
ness and rheumatic twinges-
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years. research at cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars,
and contains no quinine, which we
have conclusively demonstrated is not
effective in the t eatment Of colds or
grippe.
Take this h. .mless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after-effects as a 25'
cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

OAIRYMEN ARE
ENTHUSIASTIC

The local creamery enthusiasts are
making plans for the coming conVen-
ton of the North Dakota Dairymen's
Association which will meet here
February Is and 16.
AS this convention will be held in
the heart OF the North Dakota dairy
country some very fine exhibits are
promised for the people from all
parts of the state to look at and
pass Judgment upon Every effort
will be put forth by the people OF
this city to properly entertain the
visitors while here.
The territory south and west OF
here where the greater per cent OF
the creameries of the state are TO-
Gated are only waiting until the con-
vention to submit their butter to the
Judges to see if first honors cannot
be brought to some place west of the
river. In the years past 1t has been
the LaMoure and Larimore creamer-
les that have carried away the ma
jority of prizes but the new country
is running them close for first place
in the list of contestants.
Men whose word carries weight
with it on this question will be here
to speak on the development and ex-
tension of the work Also to take up
the various phases of improving the
dairy herd and securing the greatest
benefits from the stock. Relative
questions such as silos to the pro-
duc1ion of milk and cream, or feeds
are productive Of most 60
which can be grown on the farm.
TAe question as to the value of the
alfalfa crop to the dairyman Will
also be one of the matters discussed
and one of the enthusiastic cream
cry men said that through t.lIs quick
growing fodder the question Of Tor
age in this part of the country is
solved.
Two trophies, silver pitchers. Civ
en- by the Northern Pacific railway
company, are being engraved to be
given away at this convention as
prizes. The trophies as soon as nm
ished will be placed in the windows
of the Fist National bank. where
they can be seen and inspected by
all.

The basement consists Of the fol-
lowing rooms: Manual training, 37x
25 feet; domestic science, same size;
the two iavatori~s. each of which is
equipped with five or six closets, wash
room, ETC., up-to-date in every particu-
lar; janitors room, fue' and engine
rooms; store room; two lockers and
a lunch room for the students; and a
gymnasium, 37x51 feet with IA foot

ball and other athletic sports.
The first floor is occupied by six
class rooms, recitation room and prin-
cipal's library Each of these rooms
are equipped with hot and cold ven
ungregisters as well as radiators.
A large H. foot, hall extends from, east
to,West. thru the building along which
is installed drinking fountains for the
children, and 70 feet of hose for fire
protection--ple ssure for which is fur
nished by a large pressure tank.

finished condition but will consist of
seven class rooms, 17x37 feet, assem-
bly, room 37x51 fee~ with Is foot CELL
ings. This story "hile not in use at
present, will be in the near future.
1t is among the possibilities that the
assembly room on this floor will be
fitted out for literary, debating circles
and public entertainments of local
nature. 1t has large seating capac.
ity and will be augmented by gallery
above the class rooms on the north
side. All ideal place for public
gatherings Of all kinds. Considerable
revenue for school could be derived
from this feature if it was properly
equipped.
TIE High School building is beau
tiiul one situated as it is from a COM
handing view in the residence dist
riot overlooking the banks of the
prettily winding Cannon Bal river on
the south and an expansive territory
of cultivated farms in all directions.
The building presents look of stabil-
ity and refinement and attracts the
attention of everyone for many miles.
1t is the first building of prominence
which attracts the eyes of incoming
visitors on both railroads and at once
gives the onlooker metropolitan i'm
preston of Mott. 1t seems more
appropriate location could not have
been secured The school grounds,
which embrace about two blocks, will
present a most inviting scene when
the contemplated improvements in
the way Of grading, fencing and trees
shall have be n completed. The
structure has very pretty interior
finish of light colored birch and hard
maple floors, giving a fresh clean and
inspiring appearance indeed. All
doors in the building swing outward
and can be operated by the smallest
child.

purtenances brings the amount up to
about $4,000. An inspection of this
building will reveal tine fact that the
work was a mastery effort, a. gigantic
proposition to lbe attempted outside
of the cities. But Messrs. Berry and
Ulberg have made good at every turn
in the contract and are to be con-
graduated upon the high quality of
workmanship displayed and the ex-
cellent grade of material put into the
structure.
The building is two stories hign,
built of grey pressed brick, trimmed
with brown sandstone, 1902 90 feet,
and covers a space of 1884 square
feet. and about 40 feet high from the
grade line. It has a full cemented
IL foot basement inelosed by huge Is

inch footings three feet wide. There
were over a hah-million brick used
in the construction, which were
shipped from Hebron, N. D., and

lasting memento to t he thrift and
enterprise of the district. The erect.

whether this shall be done by
means |of federal Incorporation or
by a federal Office or commission ex.
ercking powers of regulation and
supervision may be secondary ques-
ton. The first consideration appears
to be the establishment Of perman'
ent administrative publicity, regula-
ton and supervision. The time is
peculiarly ripe for such action. Pub
lie opinion and the views of many cor
poration managers are as one"
Secretary Nagel recommends that
the bureau of corporations be devel-
oped to take up the form of super
vision he suggests. It would be but a
logical expansion of the bureaus OPP
erations and policy, which he says,
have relied solely on publicity for
the last eight years and have demon
strated beyond question what a syS'
tenn of permanent supervision can do.
MIR. Nagers report in full deals with
the years work in the many bureaus
and divisions over which he presides.
In connection with the immigration
service the secretary recommends
that any amendments to the immigra-
ton laws tend to relieve immigrants
of undue hardships without let
ting down the bars against un-
desirables. Larger discretion should
be lodged with officials, he
thinks, to admit unfortunate
members of incoming FAM lilies.
where it is shown that society would
be protected against burden and dan
ger. He recommends also that exam
nations of immigrants be made be-
fore they embark for this country
and that the time for deporting con-
fessed criminals be extended.
Secretary Nagel refers in passing
to recent criticism of the immigration
service. He says the bureau has en-
deavored to obey the general mandate
of the law and relieve the individual
Of hardship wherever the statute al
lows it.
I'm the meantime Lincoln's advice
finds renewed application" says the
secretary, quoting the words, If both
factions, or neither, shall abuse you,
you will probably be about right. Be-
ware Of being assailed by one and
praised by the other"
One of the greatest operations Of
the wear in Secretary Nagels depart
ment was the completion of the Thir-
teenth census.
A very important Investigation on
the cost of living is now being car
ried on by the bureau of labor. "The
report promises to provide basis for
intelligent discussion of this much
mooted questions says the secretary

Mott Pioneer Press: Probably no
town in North Dakota takes more
pride than does the little city of Mott
with is school building, which is now
completed, occupied and operated UNI
der most eminent supervision.
The structure is OF the colonial type
and one of the handsomest and most
modern equipped educational 'nstitu-
tons in the state of North Dakota
costing in the aggregate about So, 1000.
The ARCHITECTURAL designs of the
building was perfected by Haxby &
Gillespie of Fargo and all who have
seen this handsome structure have
commented most favorably upon the
artistic and economic efforts of the
architect.
The construction work was done by
the Mott Construction Co., of Mott,
Berry & Ulberg, at a contract price
of $30,200; additional necessary ap-
