You asked about our Itrip

know how to begin to give a
discription of this land, i't is
bo different from any ojther
country that I have seen.jThe
nearest or any vou m ight compare with it at all would be
Oregon or Washington. Mow-
ever, they are vastly different from i!irouthern Califo/rnia.
The state of California iltsell
varies a great deal in Warts,
as you know it is one thousand miles long and five hundred miles from here to! San
Francisco. To one who has
never traveled west there is a
great deal to interestonefrom
the time you approach^D&nver
and the Rockies loom up before you for the first itime.
Next at Denver you helve a
chance to see something of
what is hidden beneath'their
lofty peaks, as you view the
great smelters producing the
gold and various other rhiner-
als taken from a few of the
numerous mine, which extend
thru to Utah. Around Denver
we saw numerous tents, some
way out from civilizatidn, inhabited by tuberculosis patients. One hundred and fifty miles south of Denver vou

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there
is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been aide to
cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting- nature in doing
its   work. The   proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.    Address

Here—Wil! Stay all Summer
Mr. and Mrs. Valentine
Hartmann of St. Benedict,
near Jordan, Minn., arrived
here on the Soo line last Friday. They will visit with
their sons, J. B. and P. A.
Hartmann, and their daughter, Mrs. M. K. Wermerskirchen, all summer. Mr. Hartmann tells us that they had
no rain until a few weeks ago,
but grain, such as wheat,oats,
rve and barley, now promise
a good harvest. Winter wheat
which was put in last fall froze
out. The cut-worm is at work
in the neighborhoodof Jordan.
Garden truck is a failure and
as Mr. Hartmann tells us, the
corn crop may suffer much.
in the Van Alstine saw mill at
|Morrill. During the afternoon
| Saturday Mr. Ferguson in adjusting* a belt near a fly wheel,
used a slab to move the running
belt. The board in some way
flew back with considerable
force, striking Mr. Ferguson in
the abdomen and hurling him
backward ten feet. His condition grew worse and yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock he was
placed in a spring wagon and,
at the direction of a Foley physician, left for the St. Cloud
hospital, accompanied by his
wife and Mr. Van Alstine.
When within five miles of
this city Mr. ITergtison grew
so ill that a physician was
summoned from this city and
the man taken into a house.
He died before the doctor arrived by automobile.
The deceased was a prominent town citizen. He is survived by a wife and one son
and was 45 years of age.—St.

Manufacturing Mummies Now.
One of the most successful
trades in Paris now, is the
making of artificial mummies,
because of the great craze for
antiquities in Egypt, The
mummies are made entire in
Paris and shipped to Egypt,
where they are foisted off on
travellers. It is said that the
manufactured sell more readily than the genuine. You

They know the perfect flavor,

which cannot be imitated. If
