Jens J. Opsahl, candidate for the legislature from the Glsu dis- trict, comprising the counties of Red Lake, Clearwater and RBel- trami, was born in Norway in 1863, two years later the family crossed the ocean, settling in Munroe county, Wisconsin. At this time they were twenty- four miles from the railroad and experienced all the hardships in- cident to pioneer life, In the year 1889 he moved to Todd county where he spent three years, afterwards moving to Moorhead where he had charge of thelarge retail lumber yard belonging to Shellabarger Lumber Co. In the year 1896 he resigned his position with the lumber | company and moved to Felton, Minnesota, where he went into business for himself in the gen- eral merchandise line and also continued in the lumber business for himself. In the year 1901 the Selkce Land & Mercantile Co., was formed by Mr. Opsahl and M s r-, Dahl & Melbye, with the main office at what is now called Wilton. Since becoming identified with the interests of this county Mr. Opsahl took up a homestead in the Battle River country, where he and his family spent a year of frontier life, improving the farm and erecting suitable buildings thereon. Mr. Opsahl is still in possession of the farm and prides himself on having one of Bel | trami county’s best homesteads. Mvr, Opsahl, since bacoming a resident of this county, has been the means of bringing more actual settlers to the county than any other person. The Battle River country and the Rapid River country has been particu- larly settled by the efforts of Mr. Opsahl and many an actual settler in these parts of the county will, on the 18th, testify to this by the vote he will receive in that part of the connty. Fifteen years ago when the government survey was made in this county Mr. Opsahl was with the crew and today is in a posi- tion to locate the oid land marks. His experience in this line, and which is strengthened on every trip he makes into that country together with a number of origi- nal ideas on the development and drainage of that part of the state, makes Mr., Opsahl a prac- tical and strong man for the position he seeks at the hands of the people. He stands on a good road, drainage and development of this part of the state, platform, is a ipractical man for Lhe place, knows the condition of northern Minnesota as well as any man in the stat?, and if nominated and elected will prove an influential and practical man for the legis- lature.

FIGHTING IN SANTO DOMINGO REBELS DEFEATED AT MONTE CRISTI BEGIN ATTACK ON DAJABON. Cape Haytien, Hayti, Sept. 6.—A messenger who arrived here during the day from Santo Domingo brought the news that the Dominican insur- gents who had been besieging Monte Cristi, on the north coast of Santo Domingo, had been defeated and put to flight. Later they attacked the town of Dajabon and the government forces were compelled to seek refuge in the fort, where they were defend- ing themselves with great courage. The fighting was still in progress when the messenger left the front.

You can not make sweet butter in a foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves as a churn in which fo agitate, work up and disintegrate our f¢ as it is beins digested. If it be -weak, sluggish an foul the result will be torpid, sluggish liver and bad, impure blood. The ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery are just such as best serve to correct and cure all such de- rangements. It is made up without a drop of alcohol in its composition; chem= ically pure, triple-refined glycerine bein; used instegd of the commonly emplo} alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a valuable medicine, instead of a deleteri- ous agent like alcohol, especially in the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the various forms of indigestion. Prof. Finle; Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Medical College, Chicago, says of it: “In dyspepsia it serves an excellent pur- pose. ¥ * ¥ Tt isone of the best manufact- ured products of the present time in its action upon enfeebled, disordered stomachs; especially if there is ulceration or catarrhal gastritis (catarrhal inflammation of stomach), it is a most efficient preparation. Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric acidity. It is useful in chronic intestinal dyspepsia, especially the flatulent variety, and in certain forms of chronic constipation, stimulating the secre- ul)rysnd excretory functions of the intestinal eglands.” ‘When combined, in just the right propor- tions, with Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen’s root, Blood- root and Mandrake root, or the extracts of these, as in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, there can be no doubt of its Frcat efficacy in the cure of all stomach, iver and intestinal disorders and derange- ments. These several ingredients have the strongest endorsement in all such cases of such eminent medical leaders as Prof. R. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Med- lcal Collegre, Chicago; Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D, of Medical Department, University of Pa.; Prof. Laurence Johnson, M. D., Medical Department, Unlversity of New York: Prof. Edwin M. Hale, M. 1).. Hahnemann Medical John M. Scudder, M. D.

Barker’s Drug Store, John Wilmann, the present county auditor, is a candidate for re- nomination and deserves the hearty support of the people at the polls Sept. 18, 1906. Mr, Wilman has made an enviable record as county auditor and we havé always found him at his post of duty ready to accomadate the people. Mr. Wilmann had a very difficult task before him when he took the office two years ago. The records were in bad shape and after working hard day and night for the last year and a half he has succeeded in straightening out the affairs to such an extent that they were never in better shape than at the present time. He has added thousands of acres of land to the tax list that have for years escaped taxation. His way of handling the forfeited tax sale last year met with the approval of the state auditor, who made a personal visit to the aud- itors office at the time of the sale. The office of the county auditor is an important one, and a man is needed there who is competent and willing to safeguard the in- terests of the taxpayers and such a man is found in the present auditor, John Wilmann who is seeking re election. _— e JOHN F.
