ever, is not the case with Taraxine, now
widely known and approved as an almost
infallible remedy for Liver Complaint, ant
diseases of the Kidneys and Bowels. The
best physicians have for many years USED
various preparations of dandelion root In
these diseases, but with only indifferent
success. After a long series of expert.

a Washington telegram announces
that Delegate Pettigrew has prepared a
bill which be will introduce into the
house, to create three additional land
districts in the territory of Dakota. One
of them will embrace the counties OF
Brule and Buffalo and that portion of
the Sioux reservation west of the Mis-
souri, river and south of the Bad river.
This will probably be known as the
Chamberlain district, Chamberlain be.
ing the principal place in it, and where
the land Office will be located if the
district is established. The second pro
posed district embraces the west half oi
Sully and Hughes counties, and that por.
ton of the Sioux reservation west of the
Missouri and north of the Bad river
with the land office probably at Pierre.
The third district is in northern Dakota
and embraces the lands known rs the
Turtle mountain country. north aud
west Of Devils lake. Mr.. Pettigrew
says that while the commissioner of the
general land Office has not said he would
recommend the passage of the bill, he
suggested that it should be introduced
in the form presented to him.

fluid and rosin- filled wood the engineer

huid and rosin- filled wood the engineer
was heaping on the already overladen
furnace. The speed of the train was in
creased 80 that for few seconds it fair
~ rolled from side to side. By this
time the passengers observed the fleeing
horseman and realized for the first time
in the history of the country that light
ming limited express train on the North
ern Pacific railroad was being beaten by
an ordinary Montana horse. Tiny laced
handkerchiefs we're seen to futter from
the windows Of the Pullman, and even
the brakemen entered into the spirit of
the race bv Juggling more wood from
the passenger cars to the anxious and
excited engineer Three old chairs
that had done sitting duty in the bag
gage and express cars for many long and
weary days, were suddenly smashed to
pieces to furnish more food for the hun
cry flames. At times the race would be
about neck and neck, then onward the
horseman would fly faster and faster.
Long and loud shrieks from the locomo-
tive notified the residents of the Post that
1t would be an impossibllity to make a
stop at this station, owing to the terrific
and heretofore uneqnaled speed the
wheels were rolling over the steel rails
and cottonwood ties. All the officers
and their families climbed to the summit
of the highest eminence at the Fort and
had their field glasses watching the sport
from the distance. When about two
miles from the Post the horseman PASSED
the ambulance wagon going in the same
direction. Whom passing it the swift
current he caused throw It to one side.
and the DRYER leaped from his seat, and
holding his Kentucky thoroughbreds,
gazed Heavenward in hopes of getting
q glimpse of the aperture through which
the mysterious Tightening bolt had fallen,
but onward he sped, ignorant of the ex.
cltemcnt he was causing. The officers
by this time had become thoroughly
enthused and it's safe to say that all theifr
salaries for November were wagered
on the result. The entire train passed
along resembling a fash of lightning
on its way west ward. The horseman
moved with the swiftness of electricity
finally the fort was reached and the
horseman still urging his steed, rode
through the parade grounds, and reach.
ing the depot, wheeled about and sat in
his saddle just as the train few by, carry.
ing all the steam that could be forced
into the cylider of the engine. The all
brakes were applied, but the train had
gone three miles before stop could be
effected, and the cars backed up to the
station. The race was an heroic one, and
nobly won by the gallant horseman.

The so-called bullion is worth about
$l,OOO ton and must not be confounded
with the silver bricks, since the silver is
not eliminated until after shipment east.
A notable feature is the shipment (28,-
O0O) of buffalo hides, and it showed con-
clusively where the large herds roamed
during the season. The banks of the
upper Missouri were their favorite
stamping grounds, and the hide hunter
found that the river was right to his
hand, and shipped accordingly. The
total weight of southeast bound freight
was 100000 pounds, q far greater num-
Der than ever shipped before. One point
in regard to the freight shipped north
and west from Bismarck as q port of
river departure, is whence it comes,
River men say that the total of nearly
8.OO0,O0O, only $500 900 pounds came up
stream from st. Louis, and all the rest
came from the east and by rail. The

other Atlantic-board cities, whence comes

1t may be noted, in conclusion, that

burst from Justice Gray says Wash.
inaton correspondent Of the philadel-
phia Press. His Massachusetts reputa-
ton has come here before him. His
TRADES against trembling Deputy Shcr-
IFS and frightened witnesses have been
told about over and over again. Only
two lawyers in Boston have ever been
able to turn the tables on him. One was
Henry Il. Payne, and the other Sidney
Bartlett. "lf your Honor please said
Payne one day, beginning n motion.
"Sit down, sir; don't you see that | am
talking with another Justice thunder
cd the then Chief Justice. Mr. Payne
took his hat aud walked out of the court
room. A half hour alterward a mes
scnger reached his Office with note
saying that Judge Gray was willing to
hear him. II am not willing 20 be
heard" answered the old lawyer. cum
i'll Judge Gray apologies And apol-
ogizc the Judge had to.
"Mr. BARTLETT said the Chief Justice
one afternoon, throwing himself back in
his chair, 'that is not law and it never
was law.n The veteran smiled, and,
looking over the bench, said: 1T Was
law, your Honor, until your Honor just
spoke"
There 10 no knowing how much jest
ing goes on when the door Of the con-
sultation room is closed, but once in n
while good story leaks out. DigniGed
old Justice Clifford always avoided if
possible, the use Of the definite article.
He would write in an opinion suit
brought So-and-s0; case involved So
and-so,' and so on, never writing ''the'
if it could be avoided. Jocular Justice
Grier, who had been on the bench long
before Justice Clifford came to Wash
ington, and who was the only man who
dared to take liberties with his Maine
brother, said one day, slapping Clifford
on the back: "Ciify, old boy, ClirE,
why do you hate the definite article

and answered: Brother Grier, you
