The settlement ^of the expected strike on the Great Northern, which might have involved other lines and tied up the business of the entire northwest, was due to the business men of the twin cities and to the people along the line of the road, who stepped in and demanded that the rights of the public be given some consideration. Both parties to the proposed strike were willing and appeared glad to listen to the advice and requests of the business men of the committees handling the matter. The great public is a mighty power when'it gets started and the same great'power is admirable in its al most universal fairness to the rights of all parties in the settlement of any dispute. The day of force in the ad justment of the rights of all mem bers of this republic is about over, and the enlightened and scientific methods of arbitrating disputes and settling quarrels without loss of time or money is the only wajr to do it. A perusal of the newspapers of the state shows that all the towns are growing up so rapidly that it is hard to keep track* of them. Additional mechanics and laborers have come in and the work is not being neglected as it was feard it would be. Streets are being graded, old side walks re placed with new ones, houses are be ing painted, and stores and ware houses built to afford facilities for the increased business which the addi tional population of state the brings with it. New towns are also spring ing up in many parts of the state The cities and towns are keping pace with the development of the rural districts and the movement is one of the most satisfactory and surest evidences of the growth of the state in all substantial respects. The legislature of Illinois in re sponse to a popular demand expressed by the re-election of Mayor Harrison of Chicago, has enacted a law allow ing the city of Chicago and all other cities of the state to have the option of municioal ownership and manage ment of city street car lines. It means thab Chicago can gradually take into the charge of the city and own and operate street car lines now the-pic™*-*# of private corporations by payiM?5£ tfje^roperty, when the present franchises ex^Tfer ik-usLan other step in municipal owneship pro gress and in the interest of the public which demands those things and gets tiiem—sooner or later. The abandonment of Ft. Yates has been recommended by officers of the war department on account of its un favorable location and the poor con ditions of the buildings.

Washington, May 20— Great Britain has decideJ to accord China the same terms in the settlement of the boxer indemnity as those accepted by the United States. The state department has been informed that the English charge at Peking has signified the willingness of his government to ac cept payment on a silver basis for a term of years, reserving under bond the right to receive payment of any deficiency that might exist should it hereafter be decided that the pay ments should have been made on a gold basis. This very much strength ens the attitude of the United States, which has been almost single handed in its fight for the payment of the in demnl^r on a silver basis.

May 20.—Miss Fran cis Pettit, of Galway, has recovered a judgment from 60-year old James P. Tittemore.the village blacksmith, for #3,000 for breach of promise. Tit temore had courted her for fourteen years and according to her memoran dum book, kissed her 1,236 times. The first entries in her book were as follows: "Mr. Tittemore came to see me tonight. He is a nice fellow, but he is married and I guess mother won't like to have him come." "James was here tonight. He kissed me. It was the first time I ever was kissed by a man."

New York, May 20.— In a wild rush of frightened passengers to escapo from a burning street car near Cypres Hills, Long Island, Michael Murphy c.f Jamaica was pushed through a win dow and so badly cut by the glas~ that his condition is critical. The car was on its way to Jamaica when a flash of flame shot from ths trucks and the motorman brought thi car to a halt. Before the passenger, were aware of the danger fire worki"' through the floor and caught the triiv. ming on the seats. The twonty-fiv passengers jumped to their feet an started toward the rear door. Tw women fell in a faint ou the floor, but the crowd was too Intent on sav ing themselves to pay any attentioi to them. It was in the jam at the door ths: Murphy was crushed againsl the wir dow with such force that the gla broke and he was shot out onto th ground. As he fell fragments of glas cut his fare and hands in a dozen places and a ragged edge caught h! foot. The weight of his falling boi'y sent the sharp edge through his cloth ing and severed an artery in bis anklt OVERCOME BY HEAT AND SMOKE. Number of New York Firemen Sustain Injuries. New York, May 20.—At a fire in a business building on" Worth street a number of firemen were more or less seriously injured. Soon after the fire was discovered a second alarm wa'j sent in. The first company to respond was No. 27, every member of which was hurt. Six of the men seized a line of hose and rushed into the burning building to the third floor rear, occu pied by the Automatic Vending com pany. Hardly had they begun to play the water on the fire when the flames turned and almost overwhelmed them. Some were unconsciuos for several minutes, overcome by the terrible heat and stifling smoke. Comrades dragged them out. After an hour of hard work the fire was gotten under control. The prop erty loss was small. THEY WILL HOLD MEETINGS. TWO YOUNG WOMEN WILL HOLD SPECIAL MEETNGS.

National Bank Closed by Officials. Washington, May 20.—The treasury department has received a telegram from National Bank Examiner Per kins announcing the closing of the Southport National bank of Southport, Conn. This action, it is understood, was taken in consequence of the de falcation of the cashier, which is be lieved to have approximated $100,000. Weak? I suffered terribly for 12 years. The doctors said my blood was all turning to water. At last I tried Ayer's Sarsaparilta, and was soon feeling ali-rigntagain."—Mrs. J. V. Fiala, Hadlyme, Ct. No matter how long you have been ill, nor how poorly you may be today, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best medicine you can take for purifying and en riching the blood. Don't doubt it put your whole trust in it. ahME: Aalc your doctor what he thinks of this grand old family medicine. Follow hit advice aiul we will be satisfied. Recovery will never be complete if the liver is inactive. Ayer's Pills are liver pills. Purely vegetable. AVER CO., Lowell, Haas. uss Have you got nerves? Well, you ought to have nerves. But they ought to be strong nerves, good nerves. Does your hand tremble? You are living too fast. Does your heart flutter at times? You had better call a halt. Americans live too fast. They crowd too much into a single day. They have too little lei sure. The hospitals and Insane asylums are filling up. The quiet, pastoral scenes of yore are becoming rare. It's time that we quit this sort of business. How to Get Strong Nerves. First, repair the Injury already done to your nerves. The way to do this Is to Crop Sitiation is Retarded as Favor orabie in all Portions of North Dakota. Wheat Seeding Has Been Completed and Flax is Now Being Sown. Monday's rain was a peculiar one in many respects. It was scattering and while it rained heavily in some sections, not a drop fell in others. There was no rain at Spiritwood, it rained heavily at Sanborn. Valley City had no rain and a good-sized shower fell at Oriska. At Tower City there was no rain and between Wheatland and Fargo it rained heavily. Bismarck reports a tine rain Sunday night and Dickinson says there was a forty eight hour rain at that point and gen erally over the Missouri slope. Special correspondence from Tow ner, McIIenry, Rolette, Pierce, Bot tineau, Ward and other counties in the northern and western portions of the state send in most favorable reports. On Saturday afternoon and evening a drenching rain covered all that territory, and with the warm weather that prevails the conditions are ideal. Sunday afternoon and dur ing Sunday night there were copious showers in the valley counties and there is no section of the Bed River valley that can now be said.to be suff ering for lack of rain. The state crop report for the week ending Monday says: The past week hag been dry, as a general thing, with considerable higher temperatures and very favora ble for work of all kinds, and also growth of vegetation. Wheat seeding is flnisned most of the oats and barley is sown and a large portion of the flax seeded and considerable of the corn planted. Early sown grain is op and doing very well that sown lately requires rain in most sections before it will germinate, the ground being too dry on the surface, and in the central and western parte of the state there is little or no moisture in the ground. Scattered showers of rain have been "V":-r S HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA. Nothing Robs On© of Strength Like Spring Catarrh- Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh.

She said in a re cent letter: MIsuffered for over a year with general weakness and debility man ifested in severe headache and backache. I took four bottles of Peruna, and for two months have been entirely free from these maladies." Nervous Prostration. Thousands of cases might be quoted in which Peruna has been used to rescue people from the perdition of deranged nerves, and put them on the good, solid foundation of health* The County Aud of great benefit to vegetation. Grass cn the meadows and prairies has been very backward in starting but has made a remarkable growth during the past week, and in most sections pastures are now good. STUTSMAN.

A Spring Tonic. Almost everybody needs a tonic In th* spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain and cleanse th* blood. That Peruna will do this Is be* yond all question. Everyone who has tried it has had the same experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va., who, in a recent letter, made use of the following words I always take a dose of Peruna after business hours, as It Is a great thing for the nerves. There is no better spring tonle, and I have used about all of them." Catarrh In Spring. The spring Is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The system is rejuvenated by spring weather. This renders medicines more effective. A short course of Pe* run a, assisted by the balmy air of springy will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have a copy of Dr. Hartman's latest book on catarrh. Ad* dress The Peruna Medicine Co., Colnm* bus, Ohio. Mrs. Lula Larmer, Stonghton, Wis* says: "For two years I suffered with nerr. ous trouble and stomach disorder* until it seemed that there was nothing to me but a bundle of nerves. I was very irritable, could not sleep, rest |or compos* myself, and was certainly unfit to take ear* of Mrs. Lulu Larmer. household. I took nerve tonics and pills without benefit. When I began taking Peruna I grew steadily better, my nerves grew stronger, my rest was no longer fit* ful, and to-day I consider myself in per* feet health and strength. My recovery was slow but sure, but I persevered and was rewarded by perfect health."—Mrs. Lula Larmer. If you do not derive prompt and satis* factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad* vice gratis.

Kaufman of the NorthDakota agricultural college has received an interesting letter from one of the leading commission houses of New York in which the addresses of all the creameries in the state are asked. The commission men declare that the results have demonstrated that the North Dakota butter has a better body and carries longer in cold storage than any they can se cure. The industry is on a big boom in this state. GOT OFF EASY. Minot Independent: Mrs. Mary Frank, convicted of the crime of so domy, was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the county jail at Devils Lake by Judge Palda, Satur day. The woman thanked the judge for being so lenient with her and seemed to be in excellent spirits. The judge stated that he hoped the lesson would be a good one for her and said he would see that she would not get any intoxicating drinks in the jail. PREVENTION. The prevention of ^disease is now receiving almost as much attention as the cure. It is a branch of medical science in which great progress has been made in late years. Most forms of disease, including such as are prevalent now, the grip, pneumonia and diphtheria, may be prevented by keeping the blood in Sant ood condition, for pure rich, abun blood gives resistive power. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills act directly and peculiarly on the blood, improve it in quality and quantity, build up the whole system and so prevent disease and sickness. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills are unequaled in preventive and curative effects. FAVORITE RESORT. Hon.
