DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseases portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed ron- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in famed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the rssult, and unless the inflammation can be talk en out and this tube restored to it's nor maj condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition or the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for. any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

IN MEMORY

On July 9th. 1915, the com- mon enemy of the human family visited the home of w. F. Gullick and ruthlessly plucked from the bosom of the family the one dearest to mans heart, the wife and companion-Mrs. Della Gullick.
 Mrs. Gullick was born Jan. 20, 1880 and departed this life as above stated. She was married to w. F. Gnllick November 27, 1898. To this union was given two precious girls, each of whom survive.
 Having professed a hope in Christ in girlhood, she was bap- tised into the fellowship of New Hope church in Aug. 1900. Her life ever after was exemplary, and in the last hours she still maintained her faith in the God to whom she had anchored her soul in youthful years. She al- ways carried a sunny disposition. If the sick needed her service, she was willing with anxious hands and heart to minister to their wants and alleviate the suffering frame. Unlike many, she seemed to eschew display and notoriety in churchwork, yet meekly. humbly and quietly she sought to live the Christ life rather than proclaim it from the house-top.
 Such a life oft counts more for the cause of righteousness than all the worldly wisdom ac- quired by man. or the superficial show with no indwelling Christ. 1 Surely the world is made better by her having lived.
 To the father and mother, the brothers and sisters, the husband and children, look mp and out through the misty gloam- ing and receive comfort from the | thought that one bright day it | is your privilege to meet again on the shores of sweet deliver ance" where no sad farewells are ever spoken and no storms ever beat on the glittering strand while the years of eternity roll"
 Yes, dear children, you will surely miss mothers council, comfort and love, yet remember that you may so anchor your lives to mothers Savior that when your summons shall come to join the caravan that moves to the silent halls of death," it | can be said of you as it was of of mother. she has not lived in vain."
 Her Brother, Jim.

Story Of Ward
County's Pioneer
Olaf A. Olson Tells the Story
Of His Early Experience in
Imperial Ward

Ward County Independent:
The Independent recently asked
the question, "Who is Ward
county s. earliest settler?"
Olaf A. Olson, proprietor of
the Lexington hotel and owner
Of a great deal Of Ward county
real estate, visited the office the
other day and gave us the ans
wer. It appears beyond question
that Mr.. Olson has lived in Ward
county longer than any present
resident, in fact he seems to have
been the very first white man to.
have settled here. a
Mr.. Oison's story is unusually
interesting and we give it as
follows:
II put up a tent on land on
which squatted, near Sawyer,
Ward county, July l, 1882, and
on July 4 Of that year l turned
the first furrpw. [ found a set
element at the Winter river.
june 20, went to Towner and
back and then squatted on the
land. The country had not yet
been surveyed.
II started little later in the
summer putting up my log house
A band Of 300 Indians, including
some half breeds, came along,
from the Turtle Mountains, and
the Indians helped me lift some
of the logs up for my house.
So you see the Indians had a hand
in building the first house put up
in Ward county.
"They were very clever peo-
pie and gave me ducks and veni-
son.. Of which they had plenty.
"The farm upon which l set
tiled was later soli to Mr.. Waa-
dref, who afterwards disposed oi
it to E. D. Skinner, and l be-
-lieve he still owns itI
II did not raise: any crop the
first year, but put in two acres
of wheat the following year.
"We had a fine crop that
year, getting 25 bushels Of wheat
to the acre: l putt in small
patch of potatoes and dug 100
bushels. POTATOES were potatoes
those days. -"
"Gust Anderson, a prosperous
resident Of Velva today, was To-
Gated on his farm when arrived
in this country but he is a
resident of McHenry county. Mr..
Anderson helped me cut the
logs for my first house. My
wife remained in Iowa until l
had my new house done, then
joined me. We have continued
to be residents of Ward county
ever since.
y ED and Frank Booth were
here in the fall Of 1882, but as

until 1883.
81 located on the farm on
which | now reside in the fall Of
1888, l believe. There was no
Minot in those days. Deer ran
wild in the woods and the
sloughs were black with ducks
and geese. l remember one day
in particular Of seeing no less
than 400 deer, in groups of from
twenty to forty. They were
rather tame, but I not being
good shot, seldom shot any. 1

familiarity with the character Of
Ignite coal and to a lack Of
knowledge of the best methods

knowledge Of the best methods
of burning it, that this coal is
not being more generally used.
However, the use is gradually
being extended as from time to-
time more perfect methods Of
burning appear.
At the present time Ignite.
coal is chiefly used in Jumps in
heating and cooking stoves and
in engines for power. 1t is gen.
orally used in the most simple
manner and very few special me-
thods have been adopted from
Burning or utilizing this coal or
for preparing it for the market.
But there can be little doubt
that for general stove and fur
mace use briquetted Ignite prov-
es most economic and profitable
fuel.
A successful and sufficiently
inexpensive method for CONNER
cial briquetting Of Ignite has
been developed at the School Of
Mines at Hebron, N. D. The pro.
cess is made commercially pos.
sible and profitable by operating
the briquetting in conjunction
with a gas producing plant in
which variety Of by-products
are saved and utilized, and by
which process the residue after
the gas has been driven off can
be successfully briquetted into a
concentrated and valuable fuel.
One ton of the dry Ignite will
produce about twothirds of a ton
of briquets, in addition to about,
5000 to 10000 cubic feet Of gas
and other valuable by-products
such as tars, ammonium sulphate,
|etc. Considering the ease with
which the gas is produced, the
low cost Of the original ignite,
and the value of the residue,
this gas should have a large
commercial value for heating
and power purposes because Of
the low price for which it could
be obtained if manufactured in
plant used also to produce bri-
quets from the residue.
The briquets present many ad-
wantages over the original Ignite
or even over other varieties of
coal. They have nearly doubled
the heating value Of the original
Ignite, they do not disintergrate
on standing or burning, can be
stored without being affected by
atmospheric, conditions, and are
uniform in size and convenient
to handle. ,
There seems little doubt but
that the briquetting and the pro-
duction of gas from Ignite will in
the n'c'ar future be put on a COM
mercially satisfactory basis in
this state. While this will prove.
of great value to eli parts of
of our state, it will be especially
important to those communities
nearest the great Ignite deposits
in the western portion Of the
state for in some Of these wastes
cam be converted into power and
electricity which in turn can BE b,
sent to the surrounding towns
and villages, thus distributing
light from numerous central
power plants. Such an arrange
ment will not only be great
saving Of our fuel resources but
will also result in establishing
many industries which cam be de-
veloped by abundant and cheap
electric power.
Those who have studied the
conservation of the natural re-
sources of the country recognize
that Ignite coal briquetted, will
solve the question of fuel when,
