The Wet Cycle at Hand.

Bismarck Tribune: The meteorologi-
cal summary for the month Of May at
Bismarck reveals the fact that this
month this year was the dryest of any
year since the signal Office was estab-
lished in 1875. Some weather prophets
have told us that these climatic changes
come in seven year cycles-seven years
dry, seven years wet, etc. The record
for May may be cited in proof of this
claim. For instance, the average rainfall
for the past seven years in May at Bis
marck has been but Ill inches, while
for the seven year period previous to
1883, the average was 294 inches. The
average for the first seven from the es-
tablisbment of the Bismarck signal office
was 800 inches. and the average for May
for sixteen years has been 2.61 inches.
With this record for May in view-and
should the summary for June show a
similar condition-may we not naturally
admit there is something in the six,seven
or eight year cycle buslness,and that now
we are entering upon an era of abundant
moisture, when the lakes, which have
been drying up for the past seven years,
and the sloughs and creeks, which have
gone dry entirely, may again fill up and
abundance may be the reward of the
husbandman.

Appraising School Lands.

The board of appraisal of school lands
consisting of Commissioner Buchanan,
Auditor Graves and Supt. Wadsworth,
started Tuesday to appraise the
school lands of the county. They will
be month at the work, They are re-
quired to personally visit each quarter
section, cross it and make an estimate of
it's value, stating its condition, whether
meadow, plow OF worthless land. There
are over 500 OF these quarter sections in
Stutsman county. This information is
required by law for the state board Of
university and school lands in order to
determine what quarters may be the
most readily sold at the sale which
occurs year from this fall. No lands
can be sold for less than $40 an acre.
The lands leased this spring will also be
examined and reported upon-but not
for the first sale, as tho lands we're leased
for five years.

A Trotting Moose.

Montana Stock Journal: Tybalt, the
trained moose, owned by Francis Dunlap
of Montpelier, Idaho, has trotted a milo
in $3.50. Dunlap is eager to match the
moose to trot race Of one mile and re-
peat against any horse in America in the
800 class, the stakes to be from $500 to
$1,000 side. The moose is one Of the
sporting sensations at Montpelier. ny
bait was lassoed 1900 feet above the
sea in the Teton mountains, Wyoming
territory. He is two years six months
old, stand feet inches in height, and
weighs 600 pounds. He is we'll broken
to harness, can trot single or double, and
has shown great speed. He will drop on
his knees at command. jump five feet in
height, or over mustang, and has been
trained nineteen mouths.

The Journal article IS full Of inaccura-
cies, exaggerations and misrepresenta-
tions. The Alert will notice just one.
The article says Judge Rose refused to
call grand jury to investigate the
charge of tapping the wire. This state
ment does the Judge an injustice. The
matter was presented to him at a time
when as readers OF The Alert will re-
member he had announced that he would
discharge the petit jury next morning If
no jury case was ready. The b usiness of
tho term was about concluded and this
case would have continued the term two
weeks at cost of 81, 500 to the county.
Aside from the matter of expense there
were other reasons. The judge had,
three weeks ago, promised to hold court
for Judge Winchester last week and
then, too, he has another term Of his own
which he opens tomorrow. The prolonga
tion of our term would have interfered
with this arrangement and this fact had
much to do with the judges decision.
Then, too, the grand jury is not the only
recourse OF tho Western Union company
or the parties behind IL. The case can
properly come before justice OF the peace
at any time-but 1t is stated that the fact
that such method of procedure would
compel the parties who are instigating
these attacks on Mr.. McCabe to show their
hands openly, while the grand jury room
would shield them, is serious objection
and may explain the implied thrust at
Judge Rose.
The interview with General Manager
Mullen, above quoted, ought to settle
the question OF Mr. McCabe's innocence.
People here,who are acquainted with the
business relations of the Northern Pa
cifc and Western Union and know that
every message that goes over the wire
comes through the dispstchers' Office,
laugh at the charge that the wire was
cut two and half miles east of James
town.

Mills Will Pay.

Turtle Mountain Times: A roller mill
man writes from Wisconsin that he will
put in 100 barrel roller mill here this
summer, providing the citizens raise a
small bonus. He is inclined to believe
he can better afford to build a mill here
with little or no bonus than he could
elsewhere with $4,000 bonus, on ac-
count of cheap fuel, superior quality of
wheat raised and from the fact that there
is less danger from frosts and drouths in
this section than elsewhere.

POLlTICAL.

Washington Post: Gen. Harrison
Allen, the handsomest man in North Da-
kota, is at the National. He was strong
candidate for the senatorship which
Lyman r. Casey succeeded in holding
cases on. "North Dakota" SAID General
Allen, lis still republican,, reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The McKin-
Icy bill will not break republican
strength there. The tariff Is with us
more matter of opinion than politics.
There is not much news at present. I
don't think We will hear much more
about the lottery scheme. 1t seems to
be disposed of"
Bismarck Commonwealth Dem.):
Judge Rose would make M excellent
governor, the best North Dakota could
get, but we believe he is q democrat who
can be elected to succeed Senator Pierce
and that he deserves the best that can
be bestowed. He would be an honor to
our state in the United States senate.
Judge Rose might be nominated for
governor with tho understanding that if
the legislature Is democratic, and it is
sure to be, he will be chosen to fill
the senatorial vacancy. And in case Of
such an arrangement it would be neces-
sary to nominate some man like L. ID.
Bartlett of Dickey county, for lieutenant
governor.
Fargo Argus: It is reported that w.
James Anderson will not act as the state
oil inspector, for the reason that his
duties as county auditor will not allow
him to do SO.
Devils Lake News: It is said that Mr.
Percival, who has not yet gotten land
Office for himself, has been to M. N.
johnson at Lakota, and offered him the
Fargo land Office On condition that
johnson pulls out of the congressional
race in the interest of Mr.. Hansbrough;
the Office to be delivered within week,
and IN case of mistire, as happened in the
Devils Lake l.. 0. trade, Perclval is to
drop from under Hansbrough and carry
the county for johnson. Report does
not state that Percival also offered to
carry Nelson county for johnson, but
we have no doubt the offer has been
made.
Devils Lake News: When Governor
Miller appointed Mr.. Thursby of Tow
ner, as one of tho trustees of the May
vile normal school. 1t was int1msted IN
the News that be was not citizen of
the United States, and now we are re-
iably informed that Mr.. Thursby de-
clared his intention more than six years
prior to his appointment and has not
been naturalized. OF course he is not
eligible. His appointment was political
and removal will be embarrassing.
Minot Journal: G. E. Gregory left on
Saturday for Chicago. It IS also rumored
that Charley will extend his trip to
Washington and while there, endeavor to
induce Uncle Sam to allow him to pre-
side over the new U. s. land Office to be
located in this city.

EXTENSIVE EXPERIMENTS.

Proposed in the Management of In
ton.
On the subject Of establishing indus
trial training schools for Indians in sew
eral of the northwestern states, a
Washington correspondent Of the Bis
marck Tribune has the following:
This duty pertains Immediately to the
administration OF the Indian bureau.
The obstacles are numerous and fornld-
able, involving the ultimate abolition Of
the agency system, but, nothing daunted,
the commissioner has set vigorously to
work to surmount them.
The cornerstone of the system, which
the present administration has Inaugural
ted, consists in the education of the ris-
ing generation, not wholly upon the old
lines at the eastern colleges, whence the
graduates return in a centaur condition
Gas. Senator Pettigrew remarked, half
dude and half Indian, unable to with
stand the ridicule Of their tribe), but in
home institutions where the reflex effect
upon the elders will perceptibly elevate
the morale of the tepee.
Anyone who has examined the system,
which is in vogue at Standing Rock un-
der the efficient management of Major
Mclaughlin, will not doubt it's success
full application to other agencies.
These industrial schools are to be es-
tablished at or near the reservations, in
order to be easily accessible, and the fact
that Bismarck may be a possibly sue
cessful candidate for the school to be 10.
Gated in North Dakota, furnishes suf.
ficlent apology for expatiating upon the
subject.

In most of the counties some of the
Alliances heretofore organized have died
out from lack of members able to pay
the membership fee of $l.00. The farm
ers the past year had no money. They
lived because all had little stock and
made butter. A good many got through
the winter on very little, being too
proud to ask aid. Their interest has
not abated in the alliance, however,.

Gen. Morgan estimates that 25,OOO
Indian children require provision for
school privileges, in addition to 1900
already enrolled in schools. The annual
cost of maintaining the school IS approx
mated at $175 per capita. 1t will be
seen that the system involves large OK
penditure of public money, but the COM
missioner says: "The expense of it will
be small compared with the present cost

1t has been suggested that it would
be good idea to organize driving asso-
cation this summer. Of course it would
be, and why can't one be organized?
There are number of flyers in town and
their owners would be glad il some place
could be provided where the animals
could occasionally be speeded,and would
doubtless be willing to assist in the pro-
motion of any movement with that end
IN view. The Alert is informed that
Geo. Purchase, NJ. II. Schmitz, J. Cooper
and few other admirers Of good borse-
flesh and speedy animals are baving the
old race track on the blntfs north of town
put in condition.. If some rustler would
take hold of the matter we would have
good driving association organized in
a short time. There are some fast colts
in town-Frank Beals has one, W. H.
Colby has several-and there dozen or
more horses that can make a mile in less
than three minutes.

men are probably old sneak thieves.
They handled their case like men OF ex-
