GREAT TRIP J. A Hendricks Seeing Western Sights Spokane, Washington, a Great CityCrops in That Country Now Being Harvested. Spokane, Washington., Oct. 12, 1905. Editor Democrat: Leaving Monroe at three o'clock Monday, October 2nd, going via Fort Wayne & Pennsylvania railway to Chicago, arriving there at 9:40 p. m. Leaving there at 10:30 p. m. via C. & St. P. railroad, a verv nice line to travel over. As this ride was partly made in the night time I did not see much of the country until we got to LaCrosse, Wis., when we held up thirty minutes for breaxfast at ’ds a. m. October 3rd. Seeing lots of water here, as we crossed the Mississippi and crossed over to ** different branch of this line. Lhe farm scenery was real nice t 0 see, but very hilly and rough. We next arrived at St. Paul, Minn., at 11:30 a. m., and here we found everybody in a hustle. Stopping r, ver here I took in the twin cities by street car and on foot until I w&s very much exhausted crossing tt ud recrossing the big river until evetmg, then taking in the show, Laving St. Paul at 11 oclock p. m. oTer the Northern Pacific. Here w e Covered two hundred and fifty lij il p ß during the night, arriving ir go, N. Dako'a, at 6 o’clock a n >-, this being a county seat ‘° Wn of 12 060. Had breakfast. to Pped 20 minutes. A nice thriv--IQg town. Walked down to the °°crt house and back. From here went through North Dakota, seeing thousands of acres of wheat c ° B h°ck and through the state I -cated thirty threshing machines Swing as far as the would reach was a very ** level country. Very wet in l now - selling at 60 u bi * cents p-r bushel and average

yield per acre is 18 to 25 bushels Some oats average 50 bushels; barley 40. They were also plowing for wheat with gang plows, which turn two 14-inch furrows at a time, using from five to six horses on each plow, the plow bei ing a rider and one man doing the work of two. They average about three and a half acres a day. They haul the wheat from machine io elevators in large flowing bed hoppers holding one hundred oushels, with a door opening in back end ' so as to dump it. Their machines can thresh from seventy to eighty acres per day or fifteen to sixteen hundred bushels daily, and you will see as high as three elevators in a town of 1000. They tell me they all pay the same prices mostly all the time, this being from Fargo, along through, and as we drew near Bismarck, N. D. Here we al) : changed our time back one hour. It became very hilly near here, and going out of Valley City we had fourteen oars and two engines. They also raise so ne flxx in North Dakota, seeing one man who had 500 acres, which brings 90c par bushel. Near Bismarck we seen a lot of rolling land which has .never been plowed or broken, a good many cattle and horses grazing. Bismarck has a population of over 3000 and i' the state capital, has a state’s prison with very high stone walls around the yards, and electric lights all over the top of them so the railroad agents that were in them could not get away. It is the only town in the United States which has electric car lines owned by the state. It is one case where the state has to apply to the city council for a franchise. Here we crossed the Missouri river very slow, as they are putting in a new bridge, a monster structure. Our next observation was along through Mandon, which is very hilly, rough and stony ana at Glenmullen we saw an old negro herding 500 head of sheep trying to get them in the stock pens, and next we crossed Yellowstone river, following this a long ways Then we came down into Montana, going through Billings, and taking a good look at the Bad Lands, which certainly look fierce. Coming on down to Livingston where you change to go to Yellowstone park at Gardner, sixty miles down, which has closed for the season now. We have fourteen cars and two engines going up the mountains. When about half way up the pushing engine went back,

but one of our engines gave out and had to stop, and the fireman had to pull his fire and clean his grates and then fire uij again. This occurred twice before getting to the top of the mountains. We also passed through several tunnels, while the engines got up steam everybody got out and gathered relics from the Cascades. At Garrison Junction near the Flat Head Indian reservation, which is now thrown open and being lotteried off, there was quite a band of Indians both large and small with Buffalo horn hat racks and slippers, and all kinds of relics for sale. Here we made quite a stop. Everybody got out and rested themselves. We saw them washing gold mine material, this being near“ Gold Creek, Montana and I that gold was discovered in Montana. The next point fwas Hell Gate and at this place nave been held up several times. We seen quite a few river valleys, where they raise a good bit of grain and where they do irrigating extensively, running the water around by different powers, some by wind mills and some di]) it out of the river with large wooden wheels with buckets on it intolpipes and troughs, running it for miles in this way. making the land quite productive. We could see snow on the mountains all the way. We arrived at Spokane, Wash., at 3 o’clock a. m., October 6, and when I got cleaned up I called at the Hotel Trenton, which is managed by a couple of ladies from Decatur, Indiana. My room costing five dollars per week, I registered and began to look over the greatest mining town in the west. It is a town of 65,000, and has doubled its population in the past seven years. The girls took me to two shows in the afternoon and to one in the evening, also to a fine ball given by the waiters of the city. Saturday I went up in the country neighboring Davenport, Wash., visiting with Mr. John Krikendall and wife and Harmon Kirkendall. Mr. Kirkendall raised on his farm from 6900 bushels wheat and 12200 bushels of barley. Wheat average per acre 18 to 35 bushels. Cost of handling wheat is thus J 1.25 per acre for heading and stacking, the headers furnish themselves with board and teams to haul same to stacks. Then comes the threshing machine gang, they board themselves and you furnish sacks and twine, which cost you 9 cents per sack and they ’barge you 6 cents per bushel, and then it is hauled and shipped in che sacks, and they cut you one pound ut the elevator for the weight jf the sack and you lose the sacks, she farmers call it stealing the one pound. I omitted giving the barley average, which runs as high as 65 to 70 bushels per acre. After shreshing ; s over they put on four

go six horses to their wagons and laul to the warehouses. They ion’t have any pumps, but load it in and leave it in the sacks. The country is very hilly out in iirection and soil good, but no rain from the middle of June unil October, and some times none intil the snow flies in November, out you can see snow from these ields on mountains forty to fifty miles away the year round, except ,n July and August. After a few lays up here I came back to Spokane and then took a good look •ill around, visiting Medical Lake ind the various parks, which are ?ery fine, this place h iving a good lumber of millionaires who have some very elegant places, and keep up some lawns which contain as high as ten acres out on the hills. An electric car they call the “observation car,” takes you all around the city and the conductor has a large megaphone which he speaks through and explains all points of interest as we pass along. The Spokane river here furnishes a few very pretty scenes, the falls being 75 feet and very swift. I have been in a good manv cities, but this one beats them all for richness. It has iron works, machine shops, railroad shops, casket factory, vinegar factory and wholesale houses of all kinds. They have a very fine court house which cost 1300,000, three Masonic temples, one I visited was dedicated las* July, which cost 1100,000, and ■ the furniture cost nearly as much. I also’visited the Davenport hotel -hich is among the finest in the United States. I will tell yon the rest on my re tirn I leave for Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Friday, October 13. J. a. Hendricks.

William Whittredge, who last spring predicted the end of the world, and had a few Deoatur people slightly excited, has moved to Bluffton and has bee" working in a pump factory. In a column announcement in the News Friday he proclaimed a new faith. The foundation principles of his creed are that the body and spirit both have immortal life and that a man saved from sin never dies, neither in the body or the spirit. He believes that he will never die and will never again be subject to sickness. b i confident is he of this that two years ago he canceled his life insurance and will no longer carry anv kind of life, sickness or accident insurance. He believes that age will have no effect upon him and that by “being born again in the spirit of righteousness am becoming one of God’s elect” natural laws of sickness and death that apply to others are susnended in his case. Others may snare inis great blessing, but to do so they must like him be born again. Mr. Whittredge also teaches divine healing and is himself a healer He says he can cure anyone of any disease if they will have the necessary faith. He still claims the world will end during the present generation, but does nor fix a day. He is a rank fake, ana Bluffton people should know it. The Acme Bowling team of Fort WayneJFriday evening, at the local alley, showed the Decatur players how the game should be played, and easily defeated the picked five from this city, by a total of 354 pins for the three games played. The Acme ream is one of the strongest in Fort Wayne and have been in practice for several months, and are accurate in their rolling. Red Farnan, who caught on the local base ball team this season was with the visitors and rolled three nice games. For the home team Dyke Frisinger and Bart France played the best games, the former having an average of 170, while the latter had 167. For Fort Wayne C Reynolds lead with an average of 191, which is remarkable, taking into consideration that he never rolled upon these alleys before. A return game has been arranged with Fort Wayne team, and on next Friday evening rhe locals will return the visit and hope to retrieve lost laurels. The store: Ist 2nd 3rd C.

Fred Ostermaa, the chemist, if this city, his since that timo Aken some of this ore and roasted it. in order to ascertain something if its value. The roasting process, when properly done, as in this case, nrings the gold to the surface. Af■er Mr. Overman had roasted a simple of the ore he was asked if he thought it would run as much as <2O to the ton. He declared that it would run nearer S3OO. ’ The gold

in the sample roasted is now on the surface, and may be seen ’ with the nikei eye. It shows up very rich looking under a glass. This is base ore It will be worked with a re duction process and will certainly pay big profits. There is a vast body of it. It runs the full width of the tunnel, four and a half to five feet, and how much farther is yet to be discovered, as there is has not yet been any cross sectioning. The latter work has been ordered. If the ore mentioned is as extensive as indicated, it will make the Golden Rule in time one of the greatest and richest mines in the country, and add materially to the "wealth of a lot of Salem people, for the largest list of stockholders is in this city and vicinity. The mine, as most people know, is in the famous Bohemia districts, near Cottage Grove.’’—Salem, (Oregon,) Statesman. A number of Adams county people, mostly Berne citizens, own considerable stock :n this mine. At the time they bought it or shortly afterwards it was reported that the mine was a fake and the stock could have been secured at a low figure. Now it bids fair to make them rich.

NATURE’S ESSENCE Extracted from the Roots of Native, Forest Plants, Gro Straight Back to Nature for Your Health. There is Your Strength.

Consider your body as an engine which supplies you with all activity ol mind and body. Keep the machinery well oiled and it runs smoothly. It does not groan in doing its work. But let the stomach, which is the fire-box to the human engine, get "out of kilter” and we soon meet with disaster. The products of undigested and decomposing food is poison to the system. tew We do not live on what we oat but on what we digest, assimilate, and take up in the blood. The blood in turn feeds the nerves, the heart, and the' whole system, and all goes well with us if the blood be kept pure and rich. If not, then the liver, which is the human filter within us, gets clogged up and poisons 'accumulate in the body from over-eating, over-drinking, or hurriedly doing both. The smash-up occurs when the blood is poisoned by the stomach and liver being unable to take care of the over-load! The red flag of danger is thrown out in the shape of eruptions on the skin, or in nervousness and sleeplessness, the sufferer becoming blue, despondent and irritable, because the nerves lack nourishment and are starved. Nature’s laws are perfect if only we obey them, but disease follows disobedience. Go straight to Nature for the cure, to the forest; there are mysteries there, some of which we can fathom for you. Take the bark of the Wild-cherry tree, with Mandrake root, Stone root, Queen’s root, Bloodroot and Golden Seal root, make a scientific, Glyceric extract of them, with just the right proportions, and you have Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It took Dr. Pierce, with the assistance of two learned chemists and pharmacists, many months of hard work experimenting to perfect this vegetable alterative and tonic extract of the greatest efficiency. To make rich, red blood, to properly nourish the nerves and the whole body, and cure that lassitude and feeling of weakness and * nerve exhaustion, take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It bears THE BADGE of HONESTY upon every bottle in the full list of its ingredients, printed in plain English, and it has sold more largely in the past forty years than any other blood purifier and stomach tonic.
