Schaffner Says He is All Right.

EDITOR TRIBUNE,-On Friday, Septem-
18th, I for the first time noticed all article
in the Mandan Daily Times respect
ing me. l wish simply to say that 1
am not at all surprised at the jealousy OF
old-llne agents of the companies that sell
insurance for what it costs rather than rob
the people of twice the amount that insur-
ance costs. Insurance that does not IN
sure is dear at any cost and insurance that
costs beyond the needs of safety is an un-
just burden.
The gentleman who caused the aforesaid
to appear must have been ashamed of his
jealousy since he does not sign his name.
But l know who it was, and we have ad-
vertlSed That we will pay $1,000 for the
conviction Of such slanderers. l am sorry
that he cannot get business without resort
ing to such INSCRIPTIONS methods to pro-
what l nave said are false. l am prepared
to prove that whatever l have said are
facts. II this poor jealous fellow wishes
to see my authority, let him come and ex-
anime my papers; and in respect to the &C.
client companies not being licensed in
their W states, is simply a big lie. He
should have read something besides old
line reports. Anyone who knows n.y.
thing regarding the laws governing insur-
ance companies in either Massachusetts or
New York will at once say this gentle
mans knowledge is very meagre.
The accident companies are new in this
state and are prepared to comply with the
state law in every respect.
l simply wish to say in conclusion that
my old-line brother causes me no fear
a v that of his own success.
II. B. SCHAFFNER.

Indian P~eculiarities.

ALBERT Rappleye, who is making a canoe
"trip across the continent, spent a week
in Sitting Bulbs camp at Standing
Rock. He says he learned many pecu-
liarities Of the Indians he had never heard
of before. For instance he learned that
Indian brothers and children never speak
to each other. The young girls associ-
ated with other young people-bOyS as
well as girls and the boys do likewise, but
brothers II sisters never speak to each
other. Another ~thing-young married
men, out of pure respect, never look their
mOther-in-laW in the eye. Should their
eyes meet the friends of the son-in-law
have difficulty in restraining him from
committing suicide. The children OF two
brothers or two sisters are considered
brothers and sisters, while the children of
a brother and a sister are considered cOus-
ms. The Indians have an exalted opin-
ion OF themselves. They are firm in their
convictions that they are far superior to
the whites. The Indians lave a queer
notion of mourning over the death of rela-
tives. For instance when a woman's hus-
band dies the widow is not allowed to
comb her hair until her friends conclude
that she has mOurned long enough, when
they go and comb her hair; after that she
can comb it herself. Sometimes widows
are Ike pit in mourning for two or three
years and sometimes for life. Mr.. Rap
pleye will spend the winter in CIark's
Fork andsother tributaries of the Columbia,
in Washington and British Columbia.

A HindOO God,

The famous Hindoo god, Lingam, is now
owned by an English gentleman of culture
named Spencer, who paid s13, 900 for it at
an auction sale in London in 1888. This
curious relic stands but 12L inches high.
Small as it is, it is worth it's weight in first
water diamonds. The base is of solid gold,
and around it are set nine gems which
were used as charms-a diamond, ruby,
sapphire, c~hrysoberyl cats eye, coral, pearl.
hyacinthine, garnet, yellow sapphire and
an emerald. Around the apex of this pure
gold and gem studded pyramid is a plinth
set with diamonds.
On the apex is a topaz 1 1915 inches in
length and GIG of an inch in depth, shaped
like a horseshoe. In the center of the
horseshoe the great c~hrysoberyl cats eye
stands. When Bahador Shah, better known
as bad Shah," the last king of Delhi, was
captured and eXiled to the Andaman ISL
ands his queen secreted this god, and it
was never seen again until recent research
discovered and brought it to the British
capital, where it was disposed of to Mr..
Spencer, as above mentioned.-St. Louis

A SEMI-LOCAL SENSATION.

A Case of Love at First Sight Results in
the Marriage of a Former Bismarck
Landlady. -
The Glendale Commercial this week
will give the details of a sensation in
which Bismarck and Mandan will take
some interest. The Commercial will say:
Social circles here and in Mcintosh coun-
ty are exercised over the romantic phases
of the marriage of Rev. w. W. Nutting of
Boston, Mass, and Miss Alta Mills of this
city. The wedding. was a complete sur
prise to nearly all the friends Of both par
ties, the circumstances being kept quiet on
account Of the, opposition raised by the
reverend gentleman's sons, one of whom is
a physician at Mandan and the other q
farmer in Mcintosh county. MI. Nutting
was a widower. He is an independent
ggTsssh& s a ID Ras 3 cell FL to %,i + church h1nSah; q Az aS-
cept. He is a man of fine ability and un-
impeachable & character. The en-
gagement was of short duration.
1t is said that he had
never met Miss Mills until about q month
ago, when he arrived from Boston: The
the session of the legislature last winter
had charge of the Thompson house, the
largest and most fashionable boarding
house in Bismarck. She is an accom-
plished woman OF about thirty. Her man
ners are very pleasing and she is highly
respected. She is a member of the Pres
byterian church. 1t is supposed that DR..
i Nutting's family objected to her because
she was a divorced woman. She obtained
Ia legal separation from a former husband
: in Michigan less than a year ago. 1t is not
known that there was any consideration
Of a financial character in the family's
opposition. Miss Mills moved to Glendale
last spring in order to be near
q farm which she owns in Nc
lntosh county. 1t was reported that
she was about to be married to a
young man in Michigan, but afterward
that engagement was broken. She and
Mr.. Nutting visited the latter's son in Nc
IntOsh county a few days ago, before the
marriage occurred. When their intention
to marry was announced the young man
became furious, and ordered her out of the
house: She returned to Glendale and was
soon followed blythe reverend sutton. They
remained here a few days and were then
quietly married. They are now on their
wedding tour i'll the east. One version of
the romance is that Mr.. Nutting and Miss
Mills became enamored of each other at
T. first sight and that she broke the engage
Z $ent with the Michigan man in order to
Marry the preacher. All the parties are
d. greatly esteemed here, and there is no
, doubt that the union will prove O happy
None. The minister's son in Mcintosh
bounty is c. E. Nutting, a leading farmer.
He has many acquaintance in Glendale
knd is well thought Of by the public gen.
Srally.

Democratic Convention.

The democratic committee met Satur-
day and issued a call for a delegate con-
ve%tion to meet in Bismarck on the 9th OF
October for the purpose Of placing in nom
ination a complete Legislative and county
ticket. The basis of apportionment de-
cided upon was the vote for Joseph Hare,
candidate for the state senate last fall
one delegate for each Is votes or fraction
OF five or over. This gives the country
thirty-one and the city twelve delegates.
Fourteen out of the fifteen members OF the
committee were present and the meeting is
said to have been harmonious except some
sort of motion of Mr.. LAVAL regarding
democrats engineering an independent
movement-thought SUCH people ought not
to be IN the party, etc. 1t seems, however,
no action on the matter was taken.

Limits of Natural Vision.

The limits of vision vary with elevation,
conditions of the atmosphere, intensity of
illumination and other modifying elements
in different cases. On a clear day an OBJ
ject n foot above a level plain may be
seen at a distance Of 1.31 miles; one ten feet
high, 4.15 miles; n twenty feet high, $3.50
miles; n 100 feet high, 1871 miles; one a
mile high, as the top of a mountain, 1928
miles. This allows 7 inches-or, to be ex-
act, 800 inches-for the curvature of the
earth, and assumes that the size and illu-
mination Of the object are sufficient to
produce an image. Five miles may be
taken as the extreme limit at which q man
is visible on a fat plain to an observer on
the same level.-St. Louis Republic.

Pierre Capital, 18th: Col. G. A. Louns-
berry, special agent for the general land
Office. assigned to the supervision of all
but two of the land districts in both the
Dakotas, for the purpose of clearing up
the chaos into which the arch-putty head
of modern times, Commissioner Sparks,
of the Cleveland administration, plunged
matters by his idiotic decisions, has been
in Yankt0n, and, in a talk with a Press
and Dakotan reporter, has the following
to say in regard to the geat Missouri river:
what do you think Of the cement
works p asked the reporter.
"They are simply immense. l am more
and more impressed with the diversified
two states Of North and South Dakota
each day: You will supply a portion of
the world with cement, the Black Hills
will furnish the gypsum, gold and silver,
and the region about Bismarck can sup
ply wool and South Dakota fruit, while
the two states will produce corn, oats,
wheat, rye, barley, pork. and beef. Are
better? We might inaugurate an Ed
ward Ballamy government right here and
with success. Your cement works are
wonderfully substantial, and Bismarck
would like to supply you with coal for
them at So per ton" responded Mr.. Louns-
berry.
Sand how would you get 1t to uB ~
asked the reporter.
'By steamboat. What do you imagine
that great river olt there is there for /?
Did the creator intend that it should never
be of use to humanity? l think not. We
need your cement, your fruit, your beef
and your pork up our way, and you need
our coal and our wool. There have been
$4,000 sheep shipped into North Dakota
this year; and farmers 90 to coal holes up
t ere and, for 81 per load, cart off all a team
can haul. Let's exchange commodities ny

In the two states 2" next queried the re-
"The most encouraging l nave ever
known them. l think Dakota territory
rather Strengthened herself years ago and
| think the reaction has been felt in the
last three years. That reaction is now
passing away, and 1 think that both states
will soon begin growing, and thriving in
that substantial, invincible way which has
marked the history Of every new state.
We have met obstacles and discourage
ments without number, and l am reminded
by the history of this country, of the bible
saying: whatsoever the Lord loveth, He
chasteneth,' or words to that effect. These
new states are all right"

to the bottom of the sea on that memorable
June day, 1884, her big 11-inch gun, which
did such good service on the occasion, was
manned entirely by a crew of men from
Southwest Harbor, Mount Desert. The
man in charge of the gun was a ''~native'
of Southwest Harbor, and his first shot
killed and wounded ten men on the Coz

All the large drug firms print and distrib-
ute catalogues and price lists Of their drugs.
Most of these catalogues contain almost all
the standard prescriptions. The formulas
for the most frequent diseases are printed in
these pamphlets, with the quantities of the
doses and the prices at which the pills, pow
ders or liquids are sold to the trade. Every
doctor has several of these price lists and
every drug store has a pile of them. A man
who has any OF the ordinary ailments will
find his prescription repeated in one of these
price lists. The difference is that the price
list usually gives the ordinary names for the
drugs used, while the prescription is written
out in a way which only a doctor or a drug
clerk or IA man who has picked up the knack
Of it can understand.
The difference between tie prices in the
price lists and the prices at which the goods
are sold is from 400 to 1000 per cent If II
man gets medicine often and can find a
friendly disposed doctor he can save "a great
deal on the price Of his prescriptions. The
thing to do is to nave the doctor write out
the prescription in English, or to give him a
copy of one of these pamphlets with the pill,
powder, or whatever it may be, marked. He
learns the name Of it by heart, then he goes
10 n drug store and asks for what he wants,
instead OF handing in n prescription for it.
This is n simple thing to do, and will save
from one-half to threc-quarters the price
