Over The Cataract.

When the brave Stanley and his tire
less followers were pushing their way into
Central Africa, they came one day, to the
bank of mighty river. Footsore and
weary they quickly launch their boats,
and find rest and change in floating upon
the smooth surface Of the stream.
Soon, however, the watchful eye Of the
great explorer sees unmistakable signs
of the near presence of a cataract. The
current grows swift, tiny bubbles float
by. The signal is given to land, and the
party seeks safety on the low, shelving
bank
One daring spirit. however, pushes
his little canoe into the middle Of the
stream and goes resolutely forward, with
the seeming intention of finding whether
the river is navigable.
In vain his comrades shout and gesticu-
late, rushing wildly along the river bank
in pursuit. Not until the loud thunder
of falling water breaks upon his ear, does
he attempt to turn.
Alas, it is too late.
The oars are wrenched from his hands,
the boat is tossed wildly about, a mere
atom in the seething waters. and in a
brief moment, which seems an age to the
lockers on, it is dashed to pieces against
a huge bowlder on the very brink of a
frightful precipice.
In vain our comrades are kindly warn
ing us of our danger Our columns have
often portrayed the fearful scourge that
surrounds us. Often we hear the expires.

valent than in olden times?"
We say NO.
In Brutus and Julius Caesars time, in
the dark ages, we read of powerful men
! being stricken down. The same obstacles
are met. The victim succumbs to the
disease The recent discoveries of the
microscope have developed the real cause
of so many terrible fatalities and brought
out the fact that many of the symptoms
which are called diseases are but symp-
toms of kidney disorder.
People do not die because of the
kidneys ulcerating and destroying their
spinal column, but because the poisonous
waste matter is not extracted from the
blood as it passes through the kidneys,
the only blood purifying organs, but re-
mains, forcing its way through the system
attacking the weakest organ.
The doctors call this disease. when in
reality it is only a symptom.
Understanding this, the reason why
Warmers Safe Cure cures so many com
mon diseases is plain. 1t removes the
causes of disease by putting the kidneys
in healthy condition: enables them to
perform their functions and remove the
poisonous acids from the blood: purites
the blood and prevents the poisonous
matter coursipg through the system and
attacking the weaker organs and pro-
ducing a malady which tie unsuspecting

toner pronounces. a disease, because of
his inability to remove the cause.
He avoids the real cause and keeps his
patient in ignorance because of his III
ability to cope with an advanced kidney

that there is nothing laid down in the old
or in the modern medical works that Is

Women to be Educated.
It will be remembered that the Misses
Drexel of Philadelphia, in company with
Rev. Father Stephan, formerly of this
parish made jamestown visit a year or
SO ago, at the time the young ladies were
engaged in looking up the condition OF
Indian women in Dakota. The DreNel
girls have an immense fortune and being
of strongly sympathetic and religious
tendencies are devoting their lives
and means to the amelloratlon OF
the condition OF Indian and Negro
women in this country. The young
ladies while in jamestown presented
most modest, and simple appearance.
They were dessed with no outward dis
play OF their social rank, and bore no
evidence of being heir in their own
right to millionaire parents. Eye glas-
ses, and direct air Of investigating in
auisitiveness along distinguished them to
casual gazer. They visited the Turtle
Mountain Indians, while in Dakota. The
chronological problem presented by the

proposed by the young ladies, certainly
must have impressed itself upon thell
minds. How the condition was manipu-
lated to subserve their theory has not yet
been announced. Concerning the plans
of the Misses Drexel the Philadelphia
Press says
It can be announced on unquestionable
ecclesiastical authority that Miss Kate

The Beet Root Sugar Industry.

nv ADSSS AsooA ouSSN
The beet root sugar industry gives
promise of becoming an important factor
in the future development of Dakota. In
many parts of the United States where
root crops are grown less luxuriently
than here the growing OF beets for manu-
facture into sugar has developed into
great industry with millions Of capital
invested, giving employment to thous-
ands Of haads. Claus Spreckles, the
California millionaire, is greatly interest
ed IN this kind of sugar making and re-
ceives big income from his investments.
It will be remembered that some months
AGO he communicated with jamestown
gentleman with reference to the quail
ties of our soil and particularly as to its
adaptabillty for growing beets He lntl-
mated that provided his information was
satisfactory he might interest himself in
the matter and build a sugar factory in
Jamestown.
The sugar obtained from the beet is
similar to cane sugar, but inferior in
sweetening qualities. The attention OF
the scientific world was first called to the
sugar contained in the common beet by
German apothecary in the middle OF
the eighteenth century but no profitable
method of extracting it was devised until
Napoleon's continental system raised the
price of sugar and spurred the inventive
mind to solution of the difficulty. Since
that time protective duties have foster
ed the industry until it has now assumed
proportions which entitle to be classed
among the important industries OF that
country. Germany, Austria and many
other European nations also stand we'll
up in the list of countries where the
production of beet root sugar is engaged
in.
The adaptability of the Dakota soil to
raising all kinds of root crops was long
ago conclusively demonstrated and OF
these beets make one of the most sue
cessful crops At the experiment station
of the Brookings agricultural college a
series of experiments were undertaken
last year with view to demonstrating
the practibility of pro6tatly growing
beets in Dakota for manufacture into
sugar. They have issued bulletin CIV
ing the result, from which we quote. "ln
conclusion" it says sit might be we'll to
state that owing to the wide spread and
ever increasing interest in sugar bearing
plants and their adaptability to different
climatic conditions, the foregoing expert
ments with sugar bects were undertaken.
OF course the primary object was to
ascertain if sugar beets were adapted to
our coil and climate The fact that all
root crops grow to perfection and afford
enormous yields in this territory was an
encouragement to undertake theEork.
And perhaps it may be permissible to
state that if we may take into consider
alton the reported yield in per cent OF
sugar in countries where the sugar beet
| industry is carried on successfully, the
experiments have been very encouraging.
Especially is this true when the extreme
| ly unfavorable conditions under which
the experiments were conducted are
/ taken into consideration.
The experiments Will be repeated this
1 season under more favorable conditions
