It Is surprising that there exists
much skepticism as to the possibility
OF q person recovering from severe

reports of complete recOveries brought
about through the use OF Eckman's
Alternative. This is a remedy for the
throat and lungs, which ould be in
v~estigated by every sufferer. Read of
this case:

ate. 1t was at this time, March, 1902,
that ] started taking Eckman's A,tera-
tive. In a short time my cough was
gone and I was pronounced well. Since
that time 1 nave had two slight attacks

NORTH DAKO1AN
OLE CHRISTENSEN OF cHuRcHs
FERRY REWARDED FOR AN
ACT OF CHARITY.

Devils Lake. N. D.. April S.-The
generosity and charity of Ole Chris
Jensen, an old time resident of
Churchs Ferry. aged rs. was
rewarded when he received a legacy
OF $4,000. When Christensen came
over from Sweden as a young man he
was with a family who found them
selves destitute when they arrived in
New York. Mr.. christensen divided
with them the little he had and they
went their way while he went his. He
located IN Wisconsin and then came
over to North Dakota over thirty
years ago. The man whom he had
helped went to Australia, where he
prospered and accumulated a large
fortune. His death occurred recently
but before he died he remembered the
generous young mar who had aided
him in his destitute days and left him
a large legacy. Mr.. Christensen has
prospered fairly well himself and
come years ago retired from his farm
near Penn and owe into ChurChs
Ferry. He was much surprised when
the sheriff brought him the news Of
his wealth and he has not yet decided
what use he will make OF 1t.

STILL UNMARRIED.
Mandan Man Nearly Entered Ranks
Of Benediets, but is Still Raching.


Mandan, N. D.. April Stoves Ia
Dor was lost on the part of Stanley
Wiktorski when he spent time tod
money wooing Miss rance krusta,
for when it came to a show down the
fair maiden was found wanting.
Wiktorski. is a farmer 30 years old
living a few miles south Of this city
land for many moons he diligently
wooed Miss Krusta, who is a maid in
a local boarding house. The question
was popped and answered in the af-
firmattve. Ahutter with. delight the
! lonesome farmer sought the county
| judge and secured the sanction Of the
law upon his proposed union with
J Miss Krusta.
The happy event was accordingly
scheduled, but when the time came
! the groom-elect called at the home Of
his b~ethrothed five different times n
found no one there. After a night Of
awful despair he sought his intended
at 8 o'clock the next morning and
! found her.
But alas, the delay had been fatal.
"You didn't come yesterday" said the
maid. now it's forever too late"
Wiktorski returned the license and
wept salt tears of awful sorrow on
the sturdy shoulders Of the county
judge-and is baching 1t again.

CANNING FACTORY
FOR CASSEL1ON

Casseltoh, N. D, April s.-Among
the several good things that 1918 has
in store for Casselton is a canning
plant OF no mean proportions when
once under way. The deal was started
some time ago when the creamery
buildings were leased, but the details
have not been allowed to come out
until the present.
About April 20. Wood V. Remington
OF Denver, Col, will arrive in Cassel-
ton to start operations for the Season
in what is hoped and believed will be
a success for the protector and a good
thing for this city and surrounding
territory. Mr.. Remington has leased
the creamery buildings, and such ma
chinery as will be required to install
a canning factory has already been re-
ceived~ here. The canning operations
are to be largely of tomatoes, but some
beets, string beans, pumpkin and
squash are to be included. In addition
TO the building the V In this new
enterprise have secured the use of
twenty acres of ground from Aug.
Dittmer-on his farm at the south
edge Of the city-which will be placed
in a high state of cultivation and on
which the vegetables are to be raised,
as well as many plants for shipment.
We are informed that Minnesota
growers have already contracted for
$4,000 tomato plants from the new
concern. Tomatoes are said. when
successfully produced, to yield a re-
turn Of $50 to 800 per acre to parties
prepared to place them on the market,
showing the possibilities of the under
taking. @
We are not fully advised as to the
working force that the new factory
will require, but it is said quite a
number of women and girls are likely
to find employment in the preparation
Of the. tomatoes, and as the eason
will be largely during the summer va
cation Of schools there is expected to
be work for a bunch Of students who
may wish employment.
Mr.. Remington, who comes to man
age the new canning factory and it's
branch industries, is a young man of
excellent qualifications and with some
considerable experience. He has two
brothers in North Dakota, n of
whom is Prof. r, E, Remington Of the
pure food department Of the agricul-
tural college, the other is the lead
ing attorney of Ashley.
There is not a canning factory, and
no canning for commercial purposes
has yet been done, in the state. The
projectors of this initial enterprise,
showeveE, are so thoroughly convinced
of the good opening, and feel so well
assured of the quality Of the products
they can raise. for their factory from
our rich and prodigal soil, that they
come to Casselton without q bonus of
any kind-not even asking free rent
for land or building. They say that
they intend to succeed in their pro-
ject if good work, devotion to it and
capital to see it through is Of avail,
and only ask that our people stand be-
hind them in every legitimate way.

Want Pastor Returned.

Rev. R. r. Percy will leave to-
day to attend the annual state con-
ference of the United Brethren
church which meets tomorrow in
Abba. The members of the local
church are unanimous in the desire
that Rev. Percy be returned to this
charge and it Is very likely their
wish will be granted. The United
Brethren society have spent in the
neighborhood of six thousand dollars
during the past year in improving
their church property and building
their new parsonage, in addition to
the amount expended in carrying on
the regular work of the church.
which has been very successfully
done. Rev. Percy has made a most
creditable record during the time he
has been pastor Of the church.

Hitching Post Controversy.

Ellsworth News: Geo. w. Foval
believes in keeping up excitement
when a chance Is offered and now he
and the town of Jewell are going ia
lock horns in mortal combat.
This late uprising, 1t is alleged
started when DR.. Della sawed down
the hitching posts in front of the
Foval business block.
1t seems that the doctor was not
authorized by Mr.. Foval to whittlC
down the posts and the latter, while
arguing, used language that was
strictly modern, though of nature
not becoming to a Sunday schoo
teacher.
II is claimed that both DR.. DeLa
and Mr.. Foval showed visible signs
of settling the dispute a-la-Johnson
de-black-smith style, but the lattel
used a stronger emphasis and a diff
ferent grade OF benzine, and was ar
rested and placed in solitary confne
ment.
Now. il is alleged, Mr.. Foval viii
bring action against the town TO
removing the hitching posts and hi
friends lay stress upon the fact tha
he has very good case.
