nothing sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick, So

but what pleases you most is that it
strengthens and regulates your stom-
ach SO you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy
condition so the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
ffty-cent last of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia or
any stomach disorder. !.

new RAILROAD

Wahpeton, N. D., a few days ago an
ordinance granting the right of way
and franchise to the Duluth, Huron, &
Southern Railroad to enter the city,
was carried unanimously at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council.
The road, when it accepts the fran
chise, has the liberty to enter any
part of the city ercept the central
part, bounded on the south by Terri
torial avenue, on the west by Ninth
street, and on the north by Ohio ave-
nue..
The route which the road is going to
follow through the country being still
undecided, and the direction of it's ap-
proach to the city still uncertain, it
is impossible to say in what part of
the city the station and tracks will be
located. In fact, it is not absolutely
certain that the road will come into
Wahpeton at all, but if it does, which

Early Sunday morning the A. O.
Sather store at Starkweather was
broken into but it is thought that the
burglars were frightened away before
they secured anything. Parties re-
turning to town at an early hour heard
the window crash and saw an automo-
bile standing in front of the store, but
owing to the fog could not be 'distin-
guished. An alarm was turned in i'm
mediately but the burglars escaped in
their automobile. The tills and a sack
of silver which were left on the desk
through an oversight were left I'M
touched and nothing was disturbed in
the store.

An intimate acquaintance of the
editor of the North Dakota Siftings,
who occasionally wipes the dishes for
his wife, became tired of the job and
refused, saying that lit is not a mans
work." Not feeling disposed to lose
his help she brought the bible out to
convince him of his error and read as
follows from Kings 21-13: "And will
wipe Jerusalem as a mar wipeth a
dish, wiping it and turning it upside
down." It is needless to say that he
is still doing his occasional stunt.

The state Of Illinois passed a law
against the tipping trust-the papers
were full Of it-every boob in Chicago
knows when he hands a girl a dime for
keeping his hat during dinner, it goes
into the pockets of the trust. But the
trust got an injunction against the en-
forcement Of the law, temporarily, and
the diners in Chicago's restaurants
still fall over themselves to hand tips
to the girls without pockets and their
collars so tight their tongues are hang
ing out. And they say we r inteli-
gent!
