Northern Mihnesota is devel- oping. The Democratic state convention will be held in St. Paul July 28 at which time Frank Day will nomi- nate a Democratic ticket. How can you keep it down. It now takes special trunks to carry women’s big hats, which surely doesn’t tend to reduce the cost of liv- ng. Ohio Democrats Governor have picked Harmon as the next Democratic presidential candidate. Bryan’s-name is not mentioned as among those present. A man in Missouri makes the claim that he has kept up two fam- iles on $6 per week. Can you figure out where high living comes in from stories of this nature? Mrs. Theodore bought her wedding trousseau in Paris. If her husband is a chip of the old block, it will be her last from across the sea. Roosevelt, Jr., A good story is being told on one of the Bemidji boys in camp. He saluted his, superior with “Hello, you gay bird” and was promptly assigned for duty the rest of the day. Harvesting grain has begun in Oklahoma and Kansas and a call is being sent out for harvest hands, It wont be long before we will want them right here in this state, and we’ll need all we can get too. Dr. Hebren Claflin says that the young people of this country dc not marry early enough, He says that he was first married when he was nineteen and that every couple should be married before they are twenty, but he warns young men not to marry unless they love the girl for it will result in unhappiness to both. Some people in North Dakota believe that Alex McKenzie is not actively engaged in politics. But the fact that he is working hard for Senator McCumber is patent from a dispatch from St. Paul. This article says that McKenzie and Shea, a United States marshall, fixed all the live elevators and lum- ber yards for McCumber last week. It also says that before the primaries, agents of the Infernational Harvester company will be instructed to do all they can for McCumber, and general agents will take the field in person. During the last campaign, Senator Hansbrough claimed that the Inter- national Harvester company was fighting him bitterly, but in this campaign the company cannot do enough for McCumber. The Harvester people are prob- ably not over pleased that this in- formation has been made public. It should be an eye opener to the people of North Dakota and should put the people of other states on their guard. The charge has often been made indirectly that the great trusts influence the voting of their employees, but this is the first time a press association has sent out the direct statement. ‘The Republican convention is over and a slate of clean, able men has been named. As there were more candidates than offices, some were due to come home disappointed, but it speaks well for the party that these men will get out and work Just as hard for the successful ones as though they had won themselves. We have supported Al Kaiser be- cause we believed that he was a capable man and because he was from our district. He was beaten because Smith had more votes. Kaiser will come home and im- mediately forget that he was ever a candidate and will throw himself in- to the fight for Smith. It isbecause of this quality that we admire him. While we intend to support Simth, it is not only because he is a Re- publican, but because he is a good man. The men who boast that they have voted the straight Republican ticket ever since they cast their first vote have nothing in common with us. We believe that every man should vote for the best man put up, regardless of his party. It is what he is and what he stands for that counts. Kaiser is a man whom we admire and we hoped that he would be nominated, but because he was not, we shall not develope a good case of “sore head” and lay down in the fizht. We are here to stay and will stand by Smith. Prizefighters are not desireable citizens; but it can be noted to their credit that none of them try to ex- hibit their bruises on chautauqua platforms at so much per. Itis a mistaken impression that credits men with unseemly devotion to hot biscuits, How refreshing it is to meet a man who has good sense—that is, one who agrees with you. CONGRESS SPENT OVER A BILLION Also Goes Iflstury as the Waordiest on Record. Washington, June 24.—This session of congress, which is about ready to quit, after having spent $1,074,000,000 of the people’'s money, has been the wordiest on record. The Congression- al Record has already reached 9,000 pages and will probaby total 10,000. A page contains more words than the average newspaper column. Figuring that only 6,000 pages wero devoted to speeches and debates—the other 4,000 to records—the statesmen uttered a mere matter of 10,800,000 words during the session. Bills introduced in the house during the present session number 24,065 and in the senate 8,500. Thousands of these were pension and private claim bills. Of those intended for the gen- eral good 136 house and 83 senate bills have become laws. Three treaties of no great impor- tance have been ratified by the sen- ate, which also.confirmed 10,800 ap- pointments by the president. This number also is a record. This session of congress convened on Dec. 6. The long sessions of the five preceding congresses ended on May 30, June 30, April 2§, July 1 and June 7. WHEN HER BACK ACHES A Woman Finds All her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Bemidji women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approch of diabetes, dropsy and Brights diseas. Doan’s Kidney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words: Mrs. A Van Vard, 1218 Beltrami avenue, Bemidji, Minn.,, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with satisfactory tesults and can truth- fully recommend them to aayone suff ering from kidney complaint. For some time I had a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disord- ered and were the cause of my suffering. I at length saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such complaints and deciding to try them. I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. 1 used them carefully as directed and the pains soon dis- appeared and my kidneys became strong. I am confident that the relief 1 received from the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills will prove permanent.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

No imitator has ever equaled Parke Davis & Co. Quality Divide men into classes—druggists, physicians, preach- ers, manufacturers, etc. Would any man anywhere under the sun be guilty of saying that all druggists are alike, all physicians alike, all preachers alike, or that all manufacturers are alike? Just as there is a difference in men, so there is a dif- ference in the medicines madeby different manufacturer’s For years, in practically all our prescriptions, we have been dispensing preparations made by Parke Davis & Co., acknowledged to have the largest and best equipped labor- atories in the world for the scientific preparation of high grade pharmaceuticals. This is one of the main reasons why doctors prefer to have us fill their prescriptions because there is no guess- work about Parke Davis & Co’s remedies, they are always the same, always the best. And the-nice thing about it is, they cost no more than inferior makes. Try us once and you will come again, The Gify Drug Store Where quality prevails. KANSAS MAN GIVES STRONG TESTIMONY William 0. McFarland, a well- known resident of Wichita, Kansas living at 607 North Water street. that city, is a strong believer in the efficacy of Cooper’s New Discovery In a recent statement Mr Mc- Farland says: ““As an after-eflect of typhoid fever and the grip, I have suffered with stemach trouble for the past three years. I had no appetite, and did not get the proper nourish- ment frommy food. As a result I was very weak, and felt tired and worn out, having no energy nor am- bition, I experienced a feeling of heaviness in my stomach and belched a great deal of gas. I tried a number of remedijes that were r~commended to me and took treatment from several physicians, without any permanent benefit, I finally decided to try Cooger’s New Discovery, after noticing a number of advertisements in the newspapers regarding it. I found itall thatit was claimed to be Within-a few weeks the belching had ceased entirely, and the feeling of heaviness and distress dis spared, I began to relish my meals and soon gained in strength and weight, I was greatly surprised with the prompt action of the medi- cine, and gratified with the results I obtained from its use,, Persons afflicted with worn out stomachs should try Cooper’s New Discovery.
