I'll Give Him a Medal.

50 On a Woodward Avenue car yester-
day one of our solid citizens, whose
weather predictions have never been dis
puted since he was rated worth $50, 600,
remarked to an acquaintance that this
was unusual weather for the last of De-
cenlber. He had hardly spoken when
an old man with a bundle under his arm
hoped up and replied:
81 s'It is ehe I II just bet you an even
dollar that you are mistaken - 81. s5s =.
Isn't this unusual weather?''
81 "No, sir! FIJI betfyou two to one we

"Then don't be deceiving people with

The solid citizen was blufed into si.

With all the symptoms of consumption. He
dies by suffocation. As we entered the male
ward ten of the unfortunates were arising
from dinner. It was plain board table, des-
titute OF cloth and napkins, and furnished
with tin plates cups and spoons. On an iron
cot within ten feet of the table sat a pitiful
object His flesh looked like flakes OF sulphur
nodded into the shape of matf. He had been
In bed over a year. Although but fifteen years
old he looked like man of seventy. Nothing
In the wards on Blaekwell's Island equals this
scene; yet the Sisters said that the patient was
much better than he had been. AS we entered
the apartment a heavy black bearded man,
clad In blue woolen shirt, turned his face
from US, picked up black clay pipe and
moved III the sunlight, through the open
door, Poor fellow, his misfortunes were his
own, and he sought no sympathy from the
soliter world He was Michael Duaron, the
lone fisherman, who had expressed the fear of
being lonesome before entering the lazaretto
The windows were open and cool breeze
from the sea was felt. There were ten other
males in the ward. All but the miserable being
on the bed ranged themselves in line with
bowed heads and detected countenances.
81 oflI THE FEMALE wARDI3f8a 9ttt t,
The Sisters then conducted us upstairs to
the female ward Fourteen women and girls,
in all stages of emaciatien, stood in line with
elasped hands and eyes cast down. Sisters
and cousins we're AMONG theala All were in
some way related to the men below. They
were not disposed to be communicative. One
woman, nearly eighty yeaFsaaold, overheard
Sister st. John calling our attention to the
fact that she was conceafing her hands under
her apron. She flung up her apron with spite
full energy, and extended the withered stumps,
accompanying the action with bitter words
She had no hands. Her heart was touched by
our expressions of sympathy. She was the
woman released from Shelldrake Island forty
years ago under the sUpposition that she hal
been cured. She called to her side her
daughter, a pleasant faced woman, twenty
-four years old. Her fingers were talons in
appearance, and her hands were witheringy
losing the joints one BY one, the same as her
mother had done. In the dormitory we saw a
female dwarf only twenty eightyesrs old, She
looked to be ninety. Her eyes were sightless,
and her face misshapen and totally unlike the
face of a human being. 1t Was the face Of a
person suffering from the worst form of
elephantiasis. Despite our remonstrances, she
arose to receive US. Sadat heart we turned
away. The afflicted woman, in low tones,
bade US good-by as we went down stairs.-

Unseem,y and Reprehensible


Mandan Pioneer: The newspapers OF
the country are not referring approving
ly to the brazen faced bluff that Gov.
Ordway and the Bismarck newspapers
are indulgins in on the capital question.
1t is all very we'll for the builders to go
on putting up the capitol. This IL. being
done with Bismarck and not territorial
money. But for Gov. Ordway and the
gang with which he is surrounded to
laugh at Judge Edgerton's decision and
snap their fingers at it, ls unseemly, and
reprehensibie. Gov. Ordway says that
be has taken counsel with some eminent
lawyers IN the country concerning the
matter. We all know what it Is for the
governor to take counsel with anybody.
He does all the talking, draws his con.
clnsions and forces the man he is talking
with to say "]ust So" Bismarck would
do herself good to manifest disposition
to have this thing settled according tc
law. She should not indulge in 80 much
bluff. People who may want to invest
money in the west will not care very
much to do it il city where. on SO i'm.
portant q matter as this, the people
show disposition to disregard the law
and steal the capital, regardless OF the
decision Of judge who possesses au
thority.

The Jamestown Alert accepts the asser-
tion advanced some time ago by the
Press!and Dakotaian-that the last legis-
lature passed Law exempting from taxa
7tion the lands and lots belonging to rail-
road corporations. Upon this subject
the Alert says:
It has been hinted that an attorney OF
the Northern Pacific railroad was the
originator Of this bill. bat We can hardly
believe that even that corporation had
gall enough to ask such an imposition
upon the citizens of the territory, whose
lands and other property are taxed. 1t
is we'll known that man or company
would be an idiot or a lunatic to under
take to make new town on any railroad
in this territory without giving the rail.
road company at least half interest in
the proposed town. BY this law the rail.
Rad companies can hold their lots and
lauds exempt from taxation while the
citizen and speculator must put up taxes
) on his by the side of them every year
The farmer who improves and cultivate.
his land thereby enhancing the value Of
railroad land adjoining must pay taxes
upon his while the railroad land along
s,,le of it is exempt. The lands Of the
| farmer and nonresident holder are
taxed to build school houses while til.
railroad lands are exempt.
