Miles asks that congress provide large and well organ ized land forces tor an indefinite per iod. These forces of soldiers are not wanted as temporary volunteers, but as permanent soldiery, able to meet any demand made upon them as man killers in any part of the globe. The prospect of along and costly war in the Philippines is evidently in the general's mind. The great need of reserve forces at home to man forti ti cations, and to relieve the army after service in the tropics, is pointed out He says the need of troops for remote stations—which "need" has developed in the last two years—lias so reduced the number of soldiers now in the United States that there are less lighting men for use at home, in the interior and on coast defenses than at any time within 39 years. lie says there are not one-fourth enough sol diers at home, to say nothing of the requirements abroad. The general does not explain what these forces at home are wanted for, but says their need is imperative. The report adds, that our sea coast defenses have cost us $55,000,000 and:'there will be re quired $4f»,000,000 more to complete them as proposed. Over $11,000,000 will be needed within the next fiscal year for fortifications, barracks and sites for new forts on the coast. If congress grants such sums for such purposes, it is plain that the civil affairs of the nation will soon lose much of their predominance and that the military and naval influences will have a most powerful sway in the af fairs of the government. Acting Governor Devine has issued a proclamation designating November 29 as Thanksgiving day. Joe starts out with poetry, inspiring and patri otic. but wanders off into a crooked by-path of politics. He thinks that the recent republican victory is one of the things we should give thanks for, and, as by reason of it he will hold of fice for two years more, there is no question but that, the acting governor is himself thankful. He says: \re should be thankful for the way in which this great people in the first Hush of its mighty manhood is moving forward to meet its destiny and to do without, flinching every duty with which that duty brintrs it face to face. We should render heartfelt thanks for the season of unexampled commercial prosperity: tor the operation of mills and factories at their fullest capacity for the elevation of labor and its full est compensation: for the happy con tentment of all the people, and for that loyal and patriotic judgment of our citizens which insures the perma nency and strength of our government. The proclamation is one that might well be expected from a victorious office seeker, but is lrrdlyin keeping with lie dignity of the office which Mr. Devine is now holding, tempor arily. THK perversity of the average specu lator in wheat and other commodities has become a proverb. Instead of taking profits that would be jumped at in any ordinary business enterprise, still larger profits are generally wanted and the deals kept open till too late. This was shown clearly in the rise of wheat this summer. At oiu tin:.? certain speculators in James town had over .WO,000 in profits that could have been secured had not the fatal belief existed that the dollar mark in price would be reached. In the transactions not over $t,000 were taken out to the good. .In other towus the same thing oc- Imitations of Podd'3 Kidney Pills are legion, l'b" bo* is imitated, the outside coat ing and shape of the pills we imitated and the name —Dodd's Kidney Pills—is Imitated. Imitations are dangerous. The original is safe. Dodd's Kidney Pills have a reputation. Imitators hav~ none or they wouldn't imitate. So they trade on the rep utation of Dodd's Kid ney Pills. Do not be deceived. There is oniy one DODD'S. Dodd's is the original. Dodd's is the mK- to be direful about Do curred. It is stated that a Minne apolis firm figured at one time last June that they could close out wheat purchases and clear for their custom ers in the northwest, profits aggrega ting over 'one million dollars while, not over $200,000 were finally realized from the deals. Tis' a sad lesson for the boys to con these wintry days, when the wild goose headeth for the sunny south, and the hibernating tribe of nature's creatures arc sleeping out the time till brighter weather. TKl'ST STOCK PRICES. Onic of the most noticeable results of the election has been the rise in stocks controlled by trusts and in which there is supposed to be a great percentage of water. Stock of the ice trust, sugar, oil, salt, meat and other trusts went upon the confidence that there was now nothing to prevent the value of such stocks increasing, from any hostile legislation. The argument is a.good one as showing the future stability of such stocks, viz: That as the people do not seem to care whether they continue to pay for dividends on watered stock or not, the owners of such stocks can continue to get all they can from them. And why should they not do so? Thk Northern Pacific took advant age of the small wheat crop in this state and ran a great many freight cars to the coast. The wheat crop there was so large that the ordinary storage facilities would not hold it and a great deal of the wheat is being ing stored in cars until shipment can be made and room in elevators pro vided. By taking advantage of the situation the company secured a great deal of business it otherwise would not have gained.. It is A said that among the new legis lation to be proposed this winter in N.prth Dakota will be a law to limit the terms of all county officials to two terins -the same as the law in regard to sheriffs. This will prevent a great deal of scrapping at convention and election time. It will also tend to help the first termers to a second term re gardless of party. bio snow fall this winter means work for laboring men and expense to railroads. Ordinarily it also means a good crop next year in which the roads can get more, than even and every body else get a benefit besides. A heavy snow fall will not be objected to in the towns, and only where feed for stock is scarce in the country. Tiie increased republican majority in North Dakota is as great a surprise to the republican managers as to the democrats. The vote on the national ticket carried the state ticket along with it to a greater extent than antic ipated by anyone. Boys' good strong knee pants for 9c, at Beck's.

The Clark who was drowned was also named John and the similarity of names and the fact, that both had been on a hunting trip at the same time led to the mistake.
