It con tains a great deal of information and is nicely illustrated in colors. We notice that the figures of John Bull and Uncle Sam, side by side, occupy prominent positions all through the work. No doubt the Canadian north west is a good locality and das made a great development in the lawt few years. We see no reason why its soil should not be equal to that of the great northwest of our own country; also, we see no reason why that section should not possess as many drawbacks as this section, with the additional fact that it is colder in winter and the season is shorter in the summer. Providence has decreed that no one section shall contain all advantages and no disadvantages. 1 —As will be seen by a convention call elsewhere in this issue, the dem ocrats will meet in mass convention Saturday of this week to place a coun ty ticket in the field. No doubt they will name a set of men who are able and who help constitute the substan tial men of our community but, for all of that, the nominating of a ticket will be simply “going through the motions.” There are several reasons why this is so, aside from the great republican majority cast two years ago. First, the ticket put up by the republicans, except in three instances, is a re-nomination of men who have nerved only one term; their sertieen A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT. " It** perfect nonsense, Bessie .for you to talk of oeing laid on the shelf. Why, it rfU depends on yourself. Foraet your worries, your aches and ailments ; dou I did, take plenty of out-of-door air, cultivate happi ness by not allowing your mind to dwell on the trifles and the worries of life. I sent thirty-one cents in stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for his 'Cofnmoa Sense Medical Adviser, ’ and found it con tained much useful informafion about the care of my health, about physiology, anat omy, and everything a woman know. I then decided to write Dr. Pierce and tell him all about my ailments. I received auch a nice, carefully considered and con fidential letter, in reply, giving me advice about my diet, exercise and all. This advice is free to everyone and I wonder you don’t write him at or.ce. It didn’t take me many months to regain my good looks. Ever since I was fifteen I have suffered untold agonies periodically but now I am free from pain, worry and bad temper. Oc casionally I took Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets—this for the complexion, and to stimulate the liver. Then I took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription three times a day for those womanly weaknesses I told you about. That’s my secret of beauty. It’s the easiest thing in the world to be happy and keep one’s good looks. Look at the thousands of women who have been made well by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription; look how they keep their good looks. Dr. Pierce offers SSOO reward for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which he cannot cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable trial of his means of cure.” during that time have demonstrated that they are efficient, economical, and personally very popular through out tbe couuty. It is a fact, that, while there may be a number of other men in the county who would do equally well, noue could hope or be exbected to do better, and the peo ple believe that such service entitles a man to a second term. Second, there is nothing in the national or state platform this year to at tract the youDg voter who casts hie vote this year for the first time; the platform is also oue that can not hold all of what were known as Bryan democrats. Here in the west the republican and democratic voter of the rank and file are on the same ground in regard to trusts, and the position taken by the national democratic leaders is not to the liking of many democrats. The old democratic wheelhorses will probably stand by that party from the ground up, but that is about all they can hope for. The republican ticket, couuty, state, and national will recieve a larger vote in this county than ever before, partly on tbe grounds of what that party has accomplished and partly because the voters fear what the democrats have promised to accomplish if they are placed iu power.

F. F. Demming, Esmond, S. D. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at tbe great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and per manently, but prevents these di seases from resulting in pneumonia. It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It has no opium or other bermful sub stance and may be given as confi dently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into con sideration it is not surprising that people in foreign lauds, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are williug to take any other after having once used it.
