w. w. Cook and E. Youmans were at
Wichita one day last week comforting
with capitalists who are hguring ON es-
tablishing sorghum sugar plant at this
place. The conference did not develop
anything definite; but the parties inter-
ested will be here in few days, about
the 7th, to make our people propose
ton. In the meantime, our people may
make up their minds that il they get
sugar plant they will have to raise a
considerable lot of money. Stock, pay
able in cane, is good as far as it goes;
but somebody has to put up hard iron
dollars and several of them. We do
not even think it probable that plant
Will be put in here unless our home peo-
pie raise so, 900 in cash, or its equiva-
lent.
Prof. E. 3. Cowgirl, state sugar in
spector, and the Kansas representative
of the Kilby Manufacturing Co.. of
Cleveland, Ohio, was here last Saturday
and delivered short address to num-
Der of our people who were assembled
in the courthouse. The company he
represents offers to erect, equip and put
in operation sorghum sugar plant, fur
nishing man to run it and guarantee
ing satisfaction. The company will
put in any sized plant desired. Prof.
Cowgirl explained the sugar industry
and answered many questions. He
showed that good cane would produce
80 pounds of sugar to the ton that would
sell for 81 cents, or $3.50; that in addi-
ton, 1T will produce Is gallons of syrup
to the ton and this is worth 12a cents
per gallon, or 81 .874 cents; this added to
the sugar would be $7.723 as the product
of each ton OF cane, and it would be in
dependent of the cane seed and fodder.
So if the cane cost 81 per ton there
would still be S5.724 per ton left for OPP
eratlng expenses and profit. A mill
with capacity of 200 tons per day, run
ming 100 days could make quite a nice
thing.
Prot. Cowgirl said that the industry
had passed the experimental stage, and
from now on it will be a business just
the same as it is in the south. He
thought there was no doubt about it be-
ing the great industry in Southern Kan
sas. He thought it would cost about
Sc, 900 for 200 ton mill, outside of the
building, and perhaps $65,OOO for $50
ton mill.
While here, Prof. Cowgirl made an
examination of the Elm creek water,
testing it for gypsum, and found it alb
solutely pure and entirely free of gyp-
sum. He said that this city was re-
markedly fortunate in its water supply,
ours being the best he had seen any
where in the state

Episcopal Easter Service.

A very pleasant entertainment was
provided at the Episcopal church on
Sunday evening by the Sunday school
scholars the account of which was receiv-
ed too late for publication in Monday IS
Alert. There was quite fair number of
persons present and the readings and
recitations were rendered in good style.
Altogether it was one of the best Easter
festivals that has been given in this
church since it's organization.
The service began with the beautiful
hymn, "Onward. Christian Soldiers" fol-
lowed by the special Easter service for
the Sunday school. The scholars then
sang "He is Risen.' The lesson of the
day was read by Rosa Bassett and reci-
tation EASTER Morning" was nicely rem
dered by Hattie Bill. Katie Tilden read
''The Walk to Emmaus' in good style
followed by the hymn "Sing my soul his
Wondrous love" by the congregation.
The Superintendent George Brewitt,
then gave short and we'll considered
Easter address to the scholars after which
the Easter eggs and cards were distribut-
ed to the children, who seemed as de-
lighted in receiving these little gifts as
the teachers we're in giving them. After
the singing Of the closing hymn, "Jesus
Christ is Risen" by the scholars they were
dismissed with the benediction.

Likes the Institution.

Editorial correspondence Saturdays
Pioneer Press: There is one public insti-
tuition in North Dakota, or all Dakota for
that matter, that offers surprise to
home visitors as well as strangers. It is
the jamestown insane asylum. Although
the buildings, arranged upon the cottage
plan, cost less than 100000, they look
as if they might have cost a million.
The equipment in every detail seems to
be perfect and the discipline and order
are simply above criticism. It looks as
if the laet legislature figured too closely,
but the Mellette board, that met at
Jamestown this week, directed the su-
perintendent to cut down the pay roll to
$1,000 a month, being within the appro-
pr1ation allowed by the legislature for
employees salaries. If tho asylum is sue
cessfully managed upon that basis it will
be monthly saving of over s4OO. It is
understood that the new board is unani-
nous in the matter of limiting expendi,
lures to what has been appropriated for
each fund and in redeeming the institu-
ton from the charge of extravaganza.
There will be no Deficiencies to report to
the next legislature.

GOOO Luck.

News came by mail last Saturday that
a ticket held at the Hardy post Office inthe
February drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery had drawn five thousand dollars
but until Monday no one appeared hold
ing the ticket and it was about conclud-
ed that some transient person had pur-
chased it. Miss Tressie Webster came
over to town Monday morning and when
told of the fact stated that her father
held fifteen tickets in the drawing and
she thought one Of them was close to the
number that drew the money but did not
remember the exact number of his tickets.
She took the number, it being GA, ,lO9,
down on slip of paper and upon COM
parison at home found they held the
lucky ticket which drew one twentieth
of the hundred thousand dollars. Mr..
Webster soon came to town and exhibit
ed the lucky ticket to his friend and
placed it in the Hardy bank for eollec
ton. He is one of the pioneers OF Jack

Imitation is Impossible.


It has been shown that in many cases
it is easy to successfully initiate.
Scarcely has new invention been an.
nounced before a host of limitations
spring up on every side.
No higher encomium can be paid the
inventor or 6scoverer than to encounter
imitation, notwithstanding such fattery
is not acceptable.
In some cases successful imitation is
rendered impossible, inasmuch as the
imitator is unable to lend a complete
knowledge to the subject or has not the
means at hand to aid him.
Perhaps no article has been the object
of attempted imitation more than the
worldwide specific for the prevention and
cure of kidney and liver disorders, fami.
liarly known as Warmers Safe Cure.
In the preparation of this intensely
popular remedial agent, it is claimed that
it is impossible to successfully initiate
safe cure, even if the correct formula is
known, because the peculiar devices and
highly expensive mechanism used in it's
manufacture are beyond the reach of the
would-be 1mitators.
Adding to this the lack Of a long expert
ence, which has rendered perfect every
step in it's preparation which inventive
genius can suggest, together with the
great skill exercised in the selection of
only the very best materials, the genuine
article is perfection itself.
Some effort it also being made to imi-
tate popular line of old-fashioned log
cabin 'shome cure" known as "Warners
Log CABIN" remedies, comprising a sar-
saparilla for the blood, hops and buchu
for the stomach and system, cough
remedy for colds, rose cream for catarrh,
extract for relief from pain, hair tonic,
porous plasters aud pills.
Successful imitation IS rendered i'm
possible for the reason that the same
care has been given Ill the preparation.
An expensive laboratory, costing thou
sands of dollars, has been especially con-
structed for their manufacture and is
under the immediate supervision of one
of the best chemists known.
Poor material and means employed
would be susceptible to easy imitation,
but with the best maoerial, machinery
and skilled labor employed, these house.
hold articles are given to the public be-
yond the reach of all successful counter
feiters

Major Edwards On Dakota Climate.
While in st. Paul last week Major
Edwards caught Daily News reporter
and worked the young man for the fol-.
lowing breezy interview:
''Maior Edwards, the jovial pilot Of
The Fargo Argus, was voluminously ap-:
parent in various parts of the city this
morning and his genial exterior had the.
effect of coaxing the sun into view. When.
cornered in the Omaha general Office he
reiterated his oft-repeated statement
that he knew nothing whatever Of politics.
II am seeker after transportation-not
truth" he remarked. "Where am going?
To Coloraro and Nevada, and my mission
is purely business one. I have some
mining property out there and there is
fellow who thinks he wants it more
than think want It, If he is of the
same opinion when reach him he'll get
it. In my younger days I was given
some good advice relative to mining in:
vestments-to always sell and never buy
and think it hits the nail on the head;
I wouldn't settle in either of those states
for money, for Dakota, my boy, Is Gods
country" How are things coming up
there, Major? "They are coming our way
and we shall lasso every blessed one of
them. Dakota is a great place. No
country on the globe is to have SO many
elections in so short time. Every town
has boom. And the weather? Oh, my
boy, you should spend a few days in that
equatorial region, where the roses bloom
at any and all times and the silver throat
ed nightingale gets in his work on the
etheraa1 circ1l IN ambient While the
effete east is wearing an overcoat muf-
fer and galoshes, Dakota has on her
lawn dress, her lisle thread hose,s her
summer slippers and her straw hat. with
knots of wild flowers in her corsage, at
her belt and in her odorous hair. The sun
is getting high-too high for comfort
and people up there are getting so now
that during the meridian heat they take
slesta in their hammocks under the
shady trees, while the hired girl plays
whist with the hired man on the back
porch. Corn is knee high and wheat is
looming up like the legendary two dol
lar fiddle, while the refreshing milk
shake, draw from the finest Durham
! COWS which are kept in ice houses for
that purpose, is interfering with the
digestion of all concerned. The con-
stitutional convention meets on the
Fourth and the nations birthday will
usher in new era. President Harrison
will ISSUE hi. proclamation in October,
and then you can look at us as we soar
into the atmosphere at 2:4O gait. Well
make the fur fly, and don't you permit
that fact to evade your reteDtive memor .
Buy your corner lots right now or you
will be eternally left" .-. *,
