A Well Deserved Tribute.


A Washington dispatch, in speak
ing Of the preparations being made
for the taking of the next census saws
that in all probabilities South Dakota
will get two and North Dakota one of
tie $50 supervisors to be appointed.
1t may be a little soon-as these ap-
pointments are not to be made until
next winter-but the Tribune desires
to say that North Dakota has not
within her borders a more capable
and fit nan for the place than Major
Edwards, Of Fargo. He had charge
Of the bidecennial census of Dakota
in 1885, and his work was so thor
oughly performed, and his accounts
and whole management so systematic
and correct that the government Of.
f:cials at Washington-whcre the re-
turns were sent-hastened to compli-
ment Dakota. Never in the history
If the circumlocution office at Wash.
ington were accounts allowed and
money paid so speedily as in this case.
The Tribune hasn't any idea what
there is i'll this job-it may not be
worth a cent-but it is important
that North Dlkota's first census-the
beginning Of our historv-should be
thorough and complete, and Maj.
Edwards is the fttest of the ft.-Bis-
marck Tribune.

We are lii receipt of invitations to
attend fairs, tournaments, conven-
tions and the grand demonstration on
the Fourth Of July at Bismarck,
which we are reluctantly obliged to
decline with thanks. We can't stand
too much "gallvanting."

North DakOta-Senatorial

Maj. Edwards, in the Fargo Argus,
says: "The world wonders why
Henry W. Lord, conspicuous for his
ability, an accomplished scholar, the
seeming choice of the newspapers of
the northwest for senator and is
spoken well of by all men; who, as
m Of the United States senators
would not take second place to any
man, is not supported by his home
papers. What is the matter over
there% The major answers his own
questions in this way: His senatorial
boom is still marching on, but Hans
borough, editor Of the Inter- cean),
is looking for the congressional NOM
ination; and Mcclure, (editor of the
CapitaD, continues to cruelty the
prophets in order to win the location
of the capital. From n democratic
point Of view, Mr.. Lord appears to
be far in the lead as to newspaper
support Of any other one candidate.
The two republican papers above
named and for the reasons above
mentioned, are about the only ones
out of twenty, that might be called
his ''home papers," hat is, the papers
in ten or twelve Of the adjoining
counties, that do not support him,
and neither of the two republican
papers at Devils Lake, or for that
matter the democratic (Ncws), has
ever had a word to say against either
him or his candidacy. He is himself
an ardent advocate for the capital To-
cation at Devils Lake and one of the
most efficient, and has more friends
among the people Of the northern
counties who are in favor of Devils
Lake for the capital, than would
equal the population of that city five
times over.

4 SUGGESTION FOR COLONIES.

An Excellent Plan to Secure School
Church and Social Facilities.
One objection that many people have
against locating on the great p~rairies of
Dakota, is the want of neighbors and
school facilities in the new section. This
can be obviated by small colonies taking
land and dividing it up on a plan
adopted with success in several parts of
the British Northwest Territories, and
which is made plain by the following
diagram.

Revising Wool Duties.

BosToN, April 1.-The American Wool
Reporter says: "The new administration
is beginning to get in its work, to the de-
light of the wool interests and to the ben
eft of the whole business community. On
Friday the secretary Of the treasury bold
ly cut the Gordian knot of the broken top
problem, and decided that broken tops are
dutiable at 6Oc per pound as tops, and not
at 10c per pound as waste. AS re-
CARDS classifying worsted cloths
as woolens, hearing is announced
to be given at Washington,
and no doubt the secretary will give the
matter careful attention. But while near
ly everybody admits the absurdlty, and
injustice of admitting worsted cloths at
lower rates of duty than wooens, there is
a fair difference Of opinion as to the pow
er OF the secretary, to correct the evil by
means of change of classification

THE SAMOAN DISASTER.
Further Particulars of The Hurricane
And Wreck at Apia.

Further Particulars of The Hurricane
And Wreck at Apia.
LONDON, April 1.-Particulars of the
disastrous storm at Apia have just been
received. The hurricane burst upon the
harbor suddenly. The German man-of-
war Eber was the first vessel to drag her
anchor. She became unnanageable and
was driven helplessly on the reef which
runs around the harbor. She struck
broadside and the shock caused her to
lurch and stagger back, sinking in mo-
ment in deep water. Most of her men
were under the matches and scarcely a
soul escaped.
The German war vessel Adler was the
next to succumb. She was lifted bodily
by gigantic wave and cast on her beam
ends On the reef. A terrible struggle for
life ensued among the officers and sailors
aboard, many of whom plunged into the
raging surf and struck out, some reaching
shore in safety. Others clung to the rig
ging until the masts fell. or those who
were on the masts only two gained the
shore. The captain and several other Of
ficers were saved. e
The United States ship Vandalia was
carried before the gale right upon the
reef. She struck with terrible shock,
hurling the captain against'a gattling
gun and he fell stunned, before could be
recovered great wave swept the deck
and washed him and others into the sea.
The vessel sank fifty yards from the Mp
sic and several of the officers and men
went down with her. Others persisted
while making desperate efforts to swim
ashore. Some Of the ships company
tried to save themselves by clinging to
the rigging, but heavy and swift running
waves dashed over them and one by one
they were swept away.
Soon after the Vandalla had sunk, the
American war ship Trenton, broke from
her anchorage and was driven upon the
wreck Of the Vandalia whence she drift
ed to shore.

A REMARKABLE FIND

County Surveyor Kern Discovers Isuf-

MIR. EDITOR: While on recent profes-

able curiosity that might interest some of
your readers. 1t consisted of large
patch of buffalo bones. The bones are
said to have been found to the depth of
eight feet and cover an area Of probably
800 square feet on the south side Of Sun;
river near the crossing" Among the
bones several pieces of hide and
many arrow heads have been found A
theory to explain this strange freak, was
advanced by Messrs. Martin and Adams
to the effect that the ground was former

the buffaloes in which becoming fast
