Just 26 years ago the 9tli of last
March, Dr. Lewis graduated from one
of the best Medical Colleges in this
country. Since that time he has had
much experience in the treatment
of coughs and colds, and he has found
nothing that equals the preparation
which we are putting up under the
name of "Dr. Lewis' Cough Cure."
Formerly he charged 50 cents for the
prescription and then you had to pay
a like sum to have the druggist fill
it. Now you can get it for 25 and
50 cents and save the physicians
charges. It's a clear saving of half.
We sell Watches, Clocks, Silverware
and Jewelery of the highest quality
at the lowest prices. Anyway it costs
you nothing to come in and look.
We keep nice French China in a
large variety of patterns. Always buy
staple goods and shun trash.

A FROG AND FURROW
FULL OF WATER.
Ail Interesting: Little Story Told
the Editor by Colonel Lin
coln at Aberdeen Iur
intr Recent Vis
it to that City.
While at Aberdeen recently we en
joyed the pioneer yarns of George
Daly and Colonel Lincoln, both big
farmers and men with a record when
it comes to breaking plows. Colonel
Lincoln was telling about his exper
ience on the big Cass farm in North
Dakota, that the flrst governor of
that state was managing when elected
to hold the conflicting elements of
the "machine" together at Bismarck.
"The country west of Walipeton is as
level as this floor for miles," said the
Colonel, "and while running a three
mile furrow one day during a wet
season, a young man with rubber
boots on hailed me as 1 was turning
out of a furrow full of water as far as
one could see."
"You must have some rain here,"
said the stranger.
'Yes, it rains in sufficient quant
ities to keep the frogs alive," I re
plied as I sized up the stranger.
•'How long is that furrow-:"'
"It's measured for three miles,"
I answered.
"It isn't full of water clear to the
other end, is it?" said my inquisitive
stranger.
"Yes, full to the other end and
running over," said I.
"Gosh, what do you raise?"
"Frogs when too wet, and wheat
when dry," I answered with a smile.
'You don't mean to convey the im
pression that this furrow has as
much water in it at the other end as
it has along here," said the stranger
with a quizzical expression on his
innocent face.
'Yes, full to the other end, and
I'll go you one that a frog can swim
from one end to the other and never
scrape hi3 heels on the bottom," I
replied to end the discussion.
"I hardly ever bet, stranger, as I
teach a Sunday school class down in
Minnesota, but I have a dollar here
that I found over at Wahpeton, that
don't of right belong to me, and I
guess it wouldn't hurt much if I put
it up, but how can you prove it?" and
the stranger smiled at his apparent
stumper.
•Thunder," said I, "Proveit,that's
easy enough. Drive this picket pin
while I get a frog."
"1 secured a great big fellow with
legs five inches long and placed it in
the furrow and with a whip to urge
it along, we started. It was awful
slow work but we kept the frog busy
and in due time reached the end of
the water in the furrow."
"Well stranger," said I, "are you
satisfied that the frog never touched
bottom and swam all the way?"
"Gol darn'd if I aint. It's worth
five dollars of any man's money to
see you make that frog swim three
miles, and it never claw'd the bottom
once.
Here's
you money."
"No, thank you, I dont want your
money, I only wanted to convince
you that when I. make a statement
to a stranger you can bet every dol
lar you're worth that it is tifue,"
and I got ready to go with my plow.
"Say stranger. You are the like

The Up-to-Date Pharmacy James Lewis, Prop.
I crossed the Red river. You are
bound to come out on top if you fol
low truth as your guiding star. 1
like you. What's your name?" "My
name is Lincoln. Isaac. Lincoln," and
we shook hands. What's your name
stranger? You seem to be a mighty
square young man?"
"George B. Daly, just in the terri
tory hunting a home," he replied.
They parted then but met again
and both were residents of Brown
county when that big county was or
ganized, and both are residents of
Brown county yet. Wt. Daly has a
big ranch up near Columbia, and is
editor of the Aberdeen Democrat,
although George is no democrat,
while Col. Lincoln has a farm ranch
of 1760 acres and is president of one
bank and vice president of another
bank in Aberdeen, and was trying to
buy six sections of land recently
which would have cost him over
$100,000. And these are the two
young men who came into the terri
tory of Dakota seeking their fortune
during the days of the big farms in
what is now North Dakota. The
furrow and the frog brought two
noble hearted young men together,
and the acquaintance of that period
ripened into a Damon and Pythias
friendship in later years, that is
sweet to behold.
Mr. Daly got up the corn contest
at Aberdeen which Mr. Brenner
and the writer scored recently, but
Mr. Daly was called to his ranch and
could not be with us the first day,
but in his absence we found a splen
did substitute in Colonel Lincoln,
who volunteered his services. It
was during our last night in Aber
deen and near midnight when the
frog and the furrow story was told
and we tell it again.
Tlie Candidacy Ot Judge Camp
bell.
The American is privileged to state
that Judge Albert W. Campbell of
this city is a candidate for the repub
lican congressional nomination. This
announcement means that Judge
Campbell will make an aggressive
tight for that place on the ticket.
He will win. It also means the in
troduction into state «polltics, in an
active way, of a man from the north
end of the state who i*. worthy of any
position of trust the people may se
lect him for. ./
It has been known?to a number of
Judge Campbell's friends for some
time that he would consent to having
his name used in this connection.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on him, not only
from this city, but from all over the
state, for many weeks to induce him
to announce his candidacy, but he de
ferred action on the matter for
several reasons, chiefly because his
business has kept him busy night and
day nearly all the fall.
Judge Campbell is the candidate of
no faction in the republican party.
He is the man who will be satisfac
tory to the rank and 'file of republi
cans whether they be called insurg
ents or not. His candidacy will be
based on the presumjftion that the
selection of candidates rests in the
republicans of this state, and he will
go to them on his merits.
The people of the north end of the
state know Judge Campbell well and
know that he is worthy of their con
fidence and trust. MB was several
times re-elected judge jf this judicial
circuit without opposition and gained
a state-wide reputation for fairness
on the bench. Judge Campbell is no
new convert to the "square deal."
His life, while on or off the bench,
has been an exemplification of his de
termination to Ifve up to that very
principle.—Aberdeen American.

Last summer Insurance Commis
sioner Perkins discovered that the
hail department of the St. Paul Fire
and Marine insurance company had
never paid any taxes in the state on
that class of business. He called the
matter to the attention of the com
pany and presented tlieiu with a bill
for $8,(100.99, as the amount due from
the company from the date of state
hood to the close of business for last
year. The officers of the company at
first took the position that they were
only liable for taxes for the last year,
as no demand had ever been made
upon them for prior taxes. The com­

missioner could not see the matter In
that light, and carried the whole caae1
to Attorney General Hall. The legal
case by she company were then
put upon the case by the com
pany, resulting in their admitting
the claims, ana Saturday evening the
insurance department received a draft
from the company for the full amount
which has been turned into the state
treasury. It is safe to say they will
pay their taxes each year from this
time on Instead of allowing them to
run for another period of tune. Com
missioner Perkins is attending strict
ly to the business of the department
and will probably at an early date
show further results of his manner of
conducting the department.
