Paris.-The restoration of Major
Dreyfus TO active command in the
French army at this time, when his
country is at war with her arch enemy,
must be looked upon as the most com
plete vindication Of the French artil-
lery officer from the charge that at n
time he sold secrets to Germany. The
Dreyfus case has several times excited
France to the verge of revolution. 1t
has overthrown ministries, melted anti
Semitic fanaticism and provoked ex-
travagant Qualification Of the army.
Three conditions prevailing in France
in 1894 led to the accusing and con-
demning Of Captain Alfred Dreyfus for
treason on the allegation that he sold
military secrets to the German govern
ment.
The first and underlying cause was a
violent agitation against Jews.
The second was the discovery that
somebody was furnishing information
about army plans TO Colonel Schwarz-
koppen. the German military attache in
Paris.
The third was the personal unpopu-
larity of Captain Dreyfus among his
associates OF the general staff.
These things. combined with a ready

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Oct. 21.-A very fair
run of cattle showed up today, 100
ears or $500 head. as against 2.2S4
a week ago and 1,419 the correspond
ing day a year ago.
An active steady to firm market
was reported or all grades of killing
cattle, supply at hand being well
within the requirements of the trade.
Contraction of the inquiry from the
country for stock cattle caused a
lower trend to prices for this class
of cattle. Decline was uneven, in
that right attractive kinds were about
steady, while medium to plain classes
were lower.
Hog prices were given the sharpest
cut for some time. Supplies showed
an increase at all points, and with all
advices bearish buyers did the dictat-
ing. In a general way values were
40 a so cents lower with the extreme
close weak. Top dropped to 1925,
while the bulk of sales were quoted
at a spread of from $7.70@7.90.
Breadth to the demand continued

both killing and feeding grades were
disposed OF at fully steady figures as
compared with the previous day.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood try
ing one to most wonea and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not n
woman in a hundred Is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsuch
times, hut many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard TO ecoyer. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
i~nvigorator Of the female organism.

Blooded Cattle For N. Oak.

Bismarck, n. ID. March 23.---
Some very interesting figures were
given out by the livestock sanitary
board regarding the shipments of
dairy and breeding cattle INTO This
state within the last thirty days.
a total oi 2,119 dairy and breed
ing cattle came into the state with
the tubcrculin test chart health Ger
tificatc within the last thirty days.
Most of these cattle came from
the state of Minnesota and practical
ly all OF them went to the western
half of the state. Owing to the foot
and mouth disease and the con-
sequcnt quarantine Of many OF the
surrounding states lot Of cattle
from Iowa and other states cannot
be shipped into North Dakota.
When the quarantine is raised these
states will ship in many cattle.
This certainly indicates Il boom
in the cattle industry in North Da-
kota, and there will be plenty OF
room for more crcanrrrlcS.
