SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM NO “LOTTERY” MATTER CAN BE PRINTED. The following, taken from the Todd County Argus, applies to every paper published in the United States: “Our correspondents are requested not to mention, in their news letters, the successful holder of a ticket in a raffle or lottery drawing of any kind. The law forbids a paper to advertise in any way, a raffle or drawing of any kind, either directly or by giving the name of the success- ful ticket holder. We have cut out several such advertisements and write this to explain why it was done. “The postoffice department has been more strict in enforcing this anti-lottery law of late more than formerly, and a single line in some correspondent’s letter might render the whole edition of the paper un- mailable. It appears as though this is carrying the anti-lottery op- position to extremes, as no one loses much in the average raffle, where tickets are oftener ten cents than more, but the principal, underlying the raffle is the same as that of the old] Louisiana lottery into whose coffers, the people poured their earn- ings by millions, and that powerful institution with its corrupting fluence, could not be suppressed without hitting other aund similar games of chance.” in- f Tombs of the Patriarchs. No spot in all Palestine is so jealous- Yy guarded as the haram or sacred area built above the cave where, ac- eording to tradition, lle buried the bodles of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah., This baram is Inclosed within a double wall, an outer one of Arab workman- ship, dating from the fourteenth cen- tury, and an inner very massive one with many buttresses, which compe- tent authorities ascribe to the days of the Herods, No Christian or Jew fs, except by very speclal permission, al- lowed within these walls. The most the “unbelievers” may ordinarily do is to ascend from the street to the sev- enth step on one of the staircases be- tween the walls. At a spot near the stair is a stone with a hole in it, down ‘which, It Is sald, a long Bedouin lance can be thrust its whole length without reaching any obstruction. This, the Jews belleve, reaches to the sacred cave itself, and in its meighborhood they assemble every Friday to mourn and pray, as they do before the waM of that other haram—the temple area ~in Jerusalem.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Don’t mistake the cause of back- ache, To be cured you must know the cause. It is wrong to imagine relief is cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Bemidji resident tells you how this can be done. Clyde Johnson, living at ro14 Bemidji, avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time I endured a great deal ot suffering from kidney complaint. There was a pain in myJback and during the early part of the day I felt languid and tired. I decided to try a reliable kidney remedy, went to The Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them!according to directions, when the pains disappeared and the tired, languid feeling vanished. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills to be a reliable remedy and can recom- mend them to anyone suffering from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.

P “I thought 1 knew all about scls- sors,” said the man. “I had seen tail- ors’ scissors for cutting heavy cloth, dressmakers’ scissors for cutting fiimsy fabrics and lace and still other scissors for cutting paper, finger nails, grape- vines, all kinds of metals and even for shearing sheep, but In spite of that wide knowledge of scissors I was puz- zled when I saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lying in the showecase. = ““What are these scissors for? I asked the clerk. “‘Carving meat, he said. ‘With seissors of this kind carving becomes mere child’s play.” “‘I never saw anybody use them, sald I ““‘Nobody does use them,’ said the clerk—‘that is, only a very few. In ‘Burope carving scissors are popular because they cut right through meat, gristle, bone and all, but it takes a little practice to learn to manipulate the things, and nobody in this country has patience enough for that.”—Ex- change, The Talking Pots. “Yes, these pots of mine are all right,” said the potter. “They don't talk, though.” “No pots do.” “Don’t they? Look here.” He took from the shelf a strange, crude pot daubed yellow and blue that had the shape of a duck. He filled it with water; then he poured the water out again. “Quack, quack, quack!” said the pot distinctly. Every gurgle was a distinct quack. “There’s art for you,” said the potter. “Every gurgle of that duck pot is a quack. Wonder- ful Aztec art! And I have an Aztec plg pot that grunts like a pig and & dog pot that barks like a dog. Won- derful chaps, those Aztec potter fel- lows! I wish I knew their secret. Im- agine an Aztec banquet,” he said aft- er a pause. “Pots filled, you know, with wine. And every time you pour yourself a drink ‘Quack! go the ducks, ‘Bowwow! go the dogs. Regular pan- demonium!”—New York Press. The Light of the Firefly. ‘When man will attain the perfect vacuum, then the rude ether blush of the electric light bulb will give forth many times more light, purified and heatless, soft and healing, as the light of the stars, penctrating as the sun. An examination of the firefly when emitting flames or light shows bodily movements that cannot be understood to mean anything else than vacuum producing. The lights are always seen In the vacuum sack on the back. Im- mediately before emitting light the insect will flatten the body, draw the legs in, droop the head, seemingly con- tracting in all directions; then with the relaxation come the flame and Hght. The bodies of the glowworm and firefly always are transparent when filled with flame. The blades of grass or other debris are seen plainly through the bodies. Here are cases of nature dealing with X rays.—Chicago Tribune. How Marshall Field Made Money. In the early eighties, when the First National bank of Wallawalla was not as big as 1t Is now, I pretty nearly bad my breath taken away one day by a good looking stranger halling from Chicago. He threw a letter of credit for $80,000 from a Chicago bank on my desk and quietly said, “Can you cash that?’ I looked him over once or twice, made a quick estimate of all the loose cash I thought we could scrape up and said: “Yes. How do you want it?” He gave a smile, sat down and said, “I think I'll take it in land.” In a month’s time, as his authorized agent, I bought about 80,- 000 acres of cheap railroad land for my Chicago friend, taking the deeds in my name at his request, paying an average of $2.65 an acre. He cleared over $1,000,000 on this one deal. His name was Marshall Field. — Senator Ankeny’s Reminiscences in Leslie's ‘Weekly.

In our opinion, a person free from Catarrh was never troubled with Debility. Debility can never be cured by medicine not designed to cure Catarrh. We positively guaran- tee to cure Catarrh, and thus cure Debility. In every case where we fail to effect a cure, we will not charge a cent for the medicine employed during the trial. Now, surely no one should hesitate to believe us or to put our claim to a practical test under such conditions. We take all the risk; no one else can lose anything by the transaction. We make these statements and this offer because we knew and have time and again proved that Rexall Mucu-Tone will cure Catarrh. It is designed for that one purpose. It is not a cure all prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. It is specific. Rexall Mucu-Tone is absorbed in the stomach and carried by the blood until it penetrates every part of the body, acting as an anti- septic, disinfecting, cleansing, sooth- ing and healing agent. It rids the matter, purifies and enriches the blood, rebuilds injured tissues, cleanses and invigorates the muso- cells, neutralizes the acids of the body, stops mucus discharge, tonec up the entire system, promotes nutrition, increases body weight, and brings about a feeling of healthful- that is lasting. # We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes, Prices 50c. and $1.00.

THORNTON HAINS ON WITNESS STAND Defendant in Wirder Case Tes- fifiés in Kis fwn Behalf. Flushing, N. Y., Jan. "—Thornton Jenkins Hains took the witness stand in his own defense of the charge that he was a principal with his brother, Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr, in the killing of William E. Annis and in a snappy d, undcr coun- sel’s interrg; the story of his life and Cejtain Hains’ marital mis- fortunes that led to the slaying of An- nis. Sometimes the defendant made his answer before the district attor- ney could enter objections to the iine of interrogation. He had told of the sudden appearance of Captain Hains in his home on the Sunday in May and of the excitement that the cap- tain was laboring under because of ‘what his wife had told him concerning Annis, The early part of the session was occupied with the conclusicn of the cross-examination of General Peter C, Hains, who declared that the mental condition of Captain Hains showed improvemert from May 31 to Aug. 12, when he was served with his wife’s cross bill to the suit for a divorce. The geuneral declared that the cross bill contained such charges against Captain Hains that his mind was again shocked and there was a recur- rence cf his mental veakness. BOY ACCIDENTALLY KILLED Result of Attempt to Terrify His % Sisters. - Minneapolis, Jan. ,—Ernest A. Meadows, aged nineteen, accidentally killed himself while walking to church with his two small sisters. The tragedy was the result of young Meadows’ attempt to terrify his sis- ters. He drew a small revolver from his pecket and shot twice in the air. On the last shot the gun was pointed at his head and the bullet entered his skull. Hc drepped in the srow and died instantly.

WRIT OF CERTIORARIASKED Attorney General Had Petitioned the Highest Court to Pass on Decision of Court of Appeals Reversing Judge Landis—Action of Supreme Tribunal Leaves in Effect the Findings of the Appeliate Court. ‘Washington, Jan. .—The $29,000,- 000 fine case of the Standard Oil com- pany will not be reviewed by the su- preme court of ‘the United States. The decision of the court to this ef- fect was announced by Chief Justice Fuller. The case came to the court on a petition filed by the government asking the court in a petition for a writ of certiorari to order up the rec- ord in the case for a review of the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals for the Seventh cir- cuit, by which Judge Landis’ original decision imposing a fine of $29,000,000 against the Standard Oil company for accepting rebates from the railroad companies was reversed. In the supreme court the case turned largely upon the right of the court to interfere in view of the fact that the case had been passed upon by the court of appeals, the govern- ment contending for such privilege as a right, while it was urged in behalf of the oil company that the prece- dents were all against such a proceed- ing. The action of the court consist- ed in the announcement that thc gov- ernment’s petition would not be granted. The effect of this announce- ment will be to leave standing the decision of the court of appeals, which was adverse to the government and favorable to the company. WILL AID IN INVESTIGATION Executive Departments and Secret Service Probe. ‘Washington, Jan. . —The executive departments will co-operate with the senate committee on appropriations in arriving at the facts regarding the employment of secret service officials in other departments than the treas- ury and in other work than the ferret- ing out of counterfeiters. Senator Hale, acting chairman of the commit- tee, has reccived assurances to this effect and has been told that it is the desire of the executive branch of the government that all the facts be un- derstood. The departments are pre- pared to justify their course in the employment of the men of the serv- ice and it now looks as though the inquiry would be directed to the ne- cessity of a general detective bureau i in the government service. REVERSES LOWER COURT Supreme Tribunal Recommends Test Case in Gas Suit, ‘Washington, Jan. |—In an opinion by Justice Peckham, which was unan- imously concurred in by the entire court, the supreme court of the Unit- ed States reversed the decision of the United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York grant- ing an injunction against the enforce- ment of the 80-cent gas law. The de- cision of the court did not deal with the constitutionality of the law, but left the inference that that question would depend upon the fact as to whether the law was confiscatory, ‘which, it was intimated, has not been sufficiently determined. Justice Peck- ham said that a bona fide test should be made under the operation of the law before appealing to the courts for its nullification. RAIL WRECK IN OKLAHOMA Two Trainmen Killed and a Score of People Injured. Tulsa, Okla, Jan. J—A passenger ‘train and a freigit train on the Frisco road collided head on near Fisher, a |} small station twelve miles west of Tulsa. One engineer and one fireman were killed and a score of others were more or less injured, some seriously. Victory for the Government. Paris, Jan. \.—A scrutiny of the results of the elections held in France for members of the chamber of depu- ties shows that the Radicals and the Radical Socialists have made net gains of fifteen seats. The Social- Independents gained two and the Con- servatives one seat, while the Pro- gressives lost eighteen. Thus it iIs seen that the election has been a vic- tory for the government and partic- ularly for the Radicals. Battleships in Suez Canal.
