Read'wfiat a Fargo citizen says:
Mn. Joseph Nelson of Front Street
East says: "I know what it is to have
kidney disorder. I had pain in my back
continually and when I attempted to
get up from a chair I had to put my
hands on both sides of my. back. The
action of the kidney secretions was ir
regular and there seemed to be a retenT
tirn accompanied by distress. I ob
tained Doan's Kidney Pills at Wilser's
Pharmacy and they accomplished com
plete work in my case. My back had
no more pain. I could jump up from
sitting and go about my business, the
retentions and distress which accom
panied the action of the kidneys were
things of the past, and my kidneys
worked as freely and naturally as one
could wish."

FOR THE YOUNQ MEN.
Why Younff Men Should Be Interested In
Y. jit* C. A. Building.
A Member:" There are several rea
sons why every young man in the city,
single or married, should- be interested
in the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion building movement. The building
is to be primarily for the young men.
While the management will be by
Christian men and there is .a religious
work connected with the association,
it is non-sectarian in the sense that no
matter whether an individual belongs
to a church or not, he is just as wel
come there. He will not be pestered
by "religious cranks." He will be
treated like a man. everything practic
able will be done to make things pleas
ant. '1 he Y. M. C. A. aims to do a
three fold work. It recognizes the de
velopment of the body, the mind and
the soul. It is proposed to construct
a fully equipped association building
that shall have the largest and best fit
ted gymnasium in the west. In con
nection therewith there will be first
class shower baths, tub baths and
every convenience for comfort. There
will be large airy reading rooms. There
will be several club rooms. There will
be gaming rooms. It is probable that
there will be a bowling alley, a hand
ball court, a basketball court. Athletics
will be one of the most important fea
tures of the Y. M. C. A. work. In this
field the association has no peers. A
large well equipped gymnasium is what
is most needed by the young men of
Fargo. Every one of the young men
should be interested in the movement
to provide such a place. The building
movement recently inaugurated is not
simply in the interest of a few young
men interested in religious work.' It
is in the interest of every young man
in Fargo, in the interest of every stu
dent in our colleges, of every boy in
the city schols. What is the greatest
lack of the average young man of our
city? It is the fact that average young
man in the banks, in the wholesale and
retail houses, in the schools, has not
the facilities for the proper develop
ment of their bodies. As a class they
are thin, and pale,' dyspeptic and with
out virile ambition. They spend their
spare hours in the pursuit of pleasure
and neglect to build up their bodies so
that they may enjoy to the full a well
rounded life. Young men desire socia
bility. They will go where life is made
pleasant. They will go where they
can enjoy themselves. They want
things to be attractive. As a rule they
desire the kind of sociability that ele
vates. If some of them frequent
saloons it is not because they have a
desire to fill themselves with whisky
and beer and to get rid of their hard
earned money. It is because there
they find sociability—not the best sort
it is granted—but they find it. They
would find it elsewhere if they could.
Now the Y. M. C. A. aims to provide
a place where the young men may
find sociability, where they may en.ioy
the healthiest of pleasures, where they
may send the blood coursing through
their veins and arteries ahd stir up the
fountains of manly vigor, where they
may build up physical and mental
strength in an atmosphere of true man
hood, where the social atmosphere is
such as to appeal to the higher and
better nature. When a representative
of the association comes around and
asks you to contribute to the building
fund recollect he asks you to aid in the
construction of a headquarters for
young men, a place where you will be
made welcome, where you can find rest
and pleasure, a place which will be
partly yours. Every $5. $10. $15, $20,
$25. $5° or any other sum invested in
this enterprise will return a hundred
fold in actual benefits to those con
tributing and besides will be a help to
countless others. Last year the mem
bership of the Y. M. C. A. of Fargo
was over 400, mostly young men. The
old building wasn't nearly large enough
to accommodate those desiring to take
advantage of the gymnasium, the baths,
the reading rooms and the night
school. With a thoroughly equipped
building, such as will be constructed
next year the membership of the asso
ciation will raoidly increase to fully
1,000. There will be a thoroughly
trained athletic director the year round
and the work of the. association in all
of its departments will be such that
everv young man will be proud to be a
member.

FARGO FORUM 'AND DAILY REPUBLICAN', WEDNESDAY EVENIN^ %CT()BER I9bfc
RELIC OF MANDAN INDIANS.
Some Interesting Relics Collected by Secre
tory Ubby of the Historical Society."-'
Grand Forks Herald: Dr. Libby, of
the department of history, spent some
time this last summer collecting relics
of the Mandan Indians for the museum
of the State Historical Society. These
evidences of the life and customs of an
almost extinct tribe will, with other
finds of a similar character loaned by
different people throughout the state,
form the ethnological exhibit of the
state of North Dakota at the St. Louis
Exposition. Dr. Libby, who has charge
of the work of preparing the exhibit,
is doing everything in his power to
make it an attractive feature of the
exposition, especially to North Da
kotans. The collection has proved very
interesting to all who have seen it. The
Mandans have had a sad history, be
ing driven by fierce foes from their
native camping grounds on the Ohio
River further north and west, ever
growing fewer and weaker, until at last
in their smuggles with the Rees they
were practically exterminated. The
most fruitful locality in which to search
for their weapons and implements is
near the site of Old Fort Abraham
Lincoln 011 the Missouri River, about
nine miles below Mandan. It is here
Dr. Libby got the State Historical So
ciety collection, and many other search
ers have had their labors here well re
warded.
The Mandans were a very ntat. and
orderly tribe, carefully cleaning about
their wigwams every day, and throw
ing the refuse on garbage heaps out
side the village. It is from these gar
bage heaps that many of the interest
ing specimens come, having been
thrown out by mistake. The Indians
seem to have discovered that they
could make many articles needed in
everyday life, including ornaments,
easier and better out of bone than any
other substance, and among the finds
bone implements were most numerous.
Weapons of wajr and the chase were of
stone. The collection contains several
fine spades made of the shoulder blades
of some animal. The projecting ridges
were removed, probably by cutting a
groove on both sides with a sharp
stone and then breaking the projec
tions off and smoothiiw the place by
rubbing on a stone. The blade edge
was sharpened in the same way. Notch
es were cut in the blade, by means of
which a handle was fastened on, and
the Indian had a spade. Some of the
spades in the collection showed the evi
dence of much use, and others are in
shoulder blade that evidently was se
lected to make a spade out of, but the
work was never completed. There are
a number of bone hammers made out
of pieces of elk horn with a fragment
of a prong left for a head. One piece
of an elk horn about an inch and a
half in diameter and a foot and a half
long showed where it had been cut
from the main horn and the cutting
was such as could only have been done
with a steel implement, pointing, as do
some other things in the collection, to
the fact that the Indians were begin
ning to make the acquaintance of steel.
Among the larger bone implements
were several ribs with what had been
round holes in the center. These had
been used to straighten arrows with, it
is thought. There are at least a hun
dred bne awls in the collection. Some
were made by breaking fragments of
bone from some round or Hat bone and
rubbing them smooth and pointing
them on a stone. The collection con
tains a round bone showing the groov
ing preparatory to breaking the frag
ment off, and stones were shown, one
having the marks by pointing the awls.
Other awls were made by pointing the
leg and wing bones of game birds.
Quite a number of ornaments "of differ
ent kinds were to be seen—among them
bone beads and a string of bone ar
ticles with holes drilled in them that
were probably strung on a string and
worn as a bracelet. Among the rarpr
specimens is a drilled implement which
Dr. Libby suggests was probably used
as a needle. There were several round
bone disks about the size of a checker,
which probably were used for gaming.
Two of the most highly prized speci
mens are a bone fish spear and an ob
long gaming block. The block is orna
mented with simple device made up of
straight lines with a hole in the centre.
It has been worn very smooth by han
dling. Dr. Libby showed me what he
called Indian sandpaper. They were
ends of large upper leg bones, the open,
bony tissues of which the ends are com
posed furnishing a rough surface and
the knob fitting the hand and giving
great purchase. The specimens I saw
showed considerable wear frqm rub
bing. -.v' .v-"
There are some of the most beautiful
flint arrow heads in the collection that
I ever saw. They are about equally di
vided between hunting and war heads.
The hunting heads were fasened to the
shaft so that the arrow head intact
might be withdrawn from the game,
but the war heads were so made and
attached to the shaft that the wounded
person endeavoring to axtract the shaft
would leave the head in the wound.
Many pieces of fine pottery were'se
cured, though not whole vessels. The
doctor has divided the pottery into
three classes—unornamented, orna
mented, and the 'finger printed. The
unornarnented was plain, and of a dull
copper color. Some of the ornamented
pieces were marked witH lines made by
placing twisted glass on the vessel
while it was still soft and would retain
the impression. On some of the pieces
the lines went'around the dish parallel
with the top. On others they were
•diagonal, and on still others a combina
tion of both. In the last class the dishes
were marked with indentations made in
soft clay by pressing the end of the
against it besiae th£, other
were marked witn indentations made 1
soft clay by pressing the end of th
tffctiipt against it besiae th$, other
