The Canal Era.
Minneapolis Journal.
The United States is so unquest
ionably forward in many things
that its loyal citizens continually
assume that it is at the front in
evervthine. That this iian un
safe assumption we are constantly
reminded by coming bump up
against some fact that jars oar self-
complacency. There are a good
many things we do not do as well
as our European contemporaries,
and some things we do not do at
all.
One thiug we do not do with any
sort of scientific accuracy is to de
velop our waterways. AVe have a
hurryup bill every little while in
the "pork" department of Con
gress, but the river and hardor bills
are not scientific. They are poli-
itical. They are meant to get some
good fellows back in Congress. We
have gone ou passing river, and
harbor bills for years, and the
Mississippi river, the greatest can
al of the world, has gone steadily
from bad to worse. The upper
river has almost ceased to be a fac
tor in competitive transportation.
Why! Because Congress does not.
and never has pursued a consistent
policy with regard to the river. It
spends some money on it. but it
does not make it count as it would
be made to count abroad. There
are too much politics and too little
engineering in the process. The pro
blem before the country today is a
scientific one, how to get the great
est good out of the Mississippi river.
The problem, one may say, is sim
pel. Give the river an efficient
channel and its commerce will re
vive. Will it! Then why did it die
die out when the channel of the
Ohio river, with a poorer channel
even than the Mississippi, is still
competing with the railroads? This
is one of the (uestions that will
have to be considered along with
that of finaucing the river.

York, Pa., Oct. 17. .laeob Ie
tlinger, aged .!l years, of this city,
committed suicide tonight in an
unusual manner. Placing a stick
of dynamite in his mouth and
holding it in his right hand De
tlinger exploded the dynamite,
blowing his head oft' and and shat
tering the hand that held the ex
plosive. ; Last Tuesday Detlinger, who
was a well digger, lost a sum of
money said to have been $40. He
brooded over this and finally legau
drinking heavily. Tonight he en
tered the kitchen of his boarding
house with the dynamite and some
matches in his hand. "Well here
goes to end it all,'' he said. He
handled dynamite in his business
and as he had often made sueh
threats before, no attention was
paid to him. He went into the
yard and in a few moments there
was a loud explosion.

Some time ago Mr. K. C. Wil
liams sold a half interest in his
dairy farm, a mile and a half south
of town, to Messrs. X. H. Ferguson
and sons, of Red Springs, the con -sideration
being $6,000. These
gentlemen will take full charge
January the first. Mr. Williams
has added to the farm the tract of
100 acres adjoining on this side,
which he bought last week to from
Mrs. 8. A. Robertson, Mr. J. I).
Furguson, who is a graduate of
the A. &. M. College, arrived last
week to superintend the fall work
on the farm. Mr. W.A. Furguson
who is a graduate of Davidson
College, and his father will come
later. These gentlemen will run
an up-to-date dairy and farm ex
tensively. .What's the matter with the

Thomas A. Edison, the great Anier
ican inventor, says "Folly eighty per
cent, of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves." This is
where indigestion finds it beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no
more, and when you overload it or
when you eat the wrong kind of
food the digestive organs, cannot
do the work demanded of them.
It is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help, and
warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and indiges
tion. You should attend to this at
once by taking something that will
actually do the work for the stomach
Kodol will do this. It is a combina
tion of natural digestants and veget
able acids and contains the same
juices found in a healthy stomach
It is pleasant to take. It digests
what you eat. Sold by J. K. Shell,

A Certain Cure for Croup Feed for
Ten Years Without a Failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott.a Star City. hid.,
hardware merchant, is enthusiastic
in his praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and he has used
this remedy for the past ten years,
and though they much feared the
croup, his wife and he always felt safe
upon retiring when a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy was in the
house. Hisoldest child was subject
to severe attacks of croup, but this
remedy never failed to effect a speedy
cure. He has recommended it to
friends and neighbors and all who
have used it say that it is unequaled
for croup and whooping cough. For
sale by J. E. Shell, Dr. Kent and
Granite Falls Drug Co.
