T w o I n s t a n c e s . Two comparatively near by in­

stances suffice to point out the

wonderful development that

awaits northern Minnesota.

These are the Roseau cou n t ry

and the Little Fork region. In

the former progress has been

steady; settlers have flocked in,

great tracts are now nnder culti­

vation and stockraisingand dairy­

ing is being carried on to an ex­

tent that outrivals many older

settled sections of the state. Yet

Roseau has no railroad within

forty miles of its county seat. In

the Little Pork country, despite

the swamps which cut it off from

the south and the fact that the

railroad"5 refuses to come to it,

population thickens week by

week. New towns are springing

up throughout the terri tory, fine

farming country is being devel­

oped and the foundation of manu­

facturing industries is being

laid. These are but instances;

they show what a tremendous

development is possible in north­

ern Minnesota in the immediate

future.

NOT for years has the country

been so engulfed in politics.

That business should keep up so

well in the face of this fact is

surprising and speaks in strong

est terms of the prosperous con­

dition of the country generally.

The year of the national cam­

paign is always a bad year for

business; in addition this year

has been one of tremendous local

political differences. When we

consider these facts we have

reason to hope that the tide of

business will be again at flood

height by the first of next Jan­

uary. _

T H E various boards of review

meet Monday. If you are not

taxed according to your liking

make your plaint known or for-

eyer after hold your peace.

J O H N LIND is to ret ire from

politics Jus t like some of the

rest of us.

THIS is the way they do it in

Brown county.

Sued by His Doctor. "A doctor here sued me for

$12 50, which I claimed was ex­cessive for-a-ease of-eholeramor­bus, " says R. White, of Coachella, Cal. "At the trial he praised his medical skill and medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamber­lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­rhoea Remedy he used as I had good reason to believe it was, and lie would not say under oath that it was not." No doctor could use a better remedy than this in a case of cholera morbus, it never fails. Sold by Barker ' s Drug store. _ _ i _ J

Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they can­not reach the diseased portions of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf­ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum­bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to i ts normal condition, hearing will-be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give $100 for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Have You a Friend Afflicted With Asthma?

Frank S. Archibald, of West Swanzey, N. H., writes: For the past five years I have suffered with Asthma almost constantly. I was so nervous at times I could hardly remain in ray school. This disease coupled with the nervous strain to which teachers are al­ways subjectod, made life almost unbearable. During a visit to my home in Hinsdale, Mr. Hann, a local druggist, called my atten­tion to your White Winn of Tar Syrup. At first I was skeptical as 1 had tried almost eroryi,hing with nop nn.-inont hi-lp. Finally I took ftome a bottle and the cure it effected s emsalmost miracu­lous to me after my former re­peated d«sai I'oinlmorts.

I want to recommt nd yonr remedy to everyone who has been sfftcted a;*" P WW'for over five ' years and I shall be glad to reply to enquiries regarding my case.
