The general fund of Richland county is
overdrawn $25, 900, and Editor Falley wants
to know why; The same question might
be asked of great many counties. The
average voter will get very much excited
and do great deal of shouting when a
president of the United States is to be
elected-a matter of really very small con-
Germ to the taxpayer. Except one reads
of it he would never know the difference
between one administration and another.
But when county officers are to be elected,
the same average taxpayer pays very lit
tie attention to it, and voters have to be
hired, almost. to vote. He pays no atten-
tion to that which strikes right home to
his pocketbook and the comforts of his
own household, while to subjects far re-
moved from him, and government policies
that do not affect him, he gives serious
consideration.

An exchange truthfully remarks that
there are many strange people in this world.
This fact is particularly noticeable by the
the characteristics now and then manifest
ed. We emeet men face to face whose coun-
tenances beam with good humor, whose
eyes sparkle with joyousness, whose every
tread marks them as men of good instincts
and having we'll wishes for all mankind.
Others we meet imagine that for their own
personal qualification and convenience the
wheels Of the universe rotate upon their
axes, whose every movement indicates that
they do not choose to associate themselves
with the common herd of mankind" who
seek to be recognized as members of the
highest strata Of society. They generally
hit wide of the mark.

The Minneapolis Tribune interviewed
Hon. Thos. Lowry in regard to the article
recently published in the Tribune and Mr..
Lowry was quoted as follows: 'There
isn't word of truth in the statements
concerning supposed disagreements be-
tween Mr.. Finney and myself. There was
never the Slightest difference between us,
nor between Mr.. Finnev and any of the
stockholders. 1t was who brought Mr..
Finney here and induced him to accept
the presidency of the 500 road, knowing
that he was a practical railroad man.
Moreover, if Mr.. Finney's business in Mil
waukec had not compelled him to resign
4he would be president of the 500 road to-
day instead of myself.
GAS far as the assertion regarding Mr..
Finney's attitude toward the extension to
Bismarck is concerned continued Mr..
Lowry, "that is as far from the truth as the
other statements. Mr.. Finney was never
opposed to the extention. That is part
of the policy of the road. In fact, Mr..
Finney and R. B. Langdon drove over the
entire route, from Boyton to Bismarck,
with this purpose in view. The grade
was built long time ago, and the track
will be laid as fast as we can afford to lay
it. The track is completed within rs miles
from Bismarck. AS long as the money
holds out we shall continue the work
in the extension. We don't propose to
bankrupt tho whole road. however, by
hasty and undue expenditures"
''Do you contemplate extending the road
beyond Bismarck?"
SIT is quite possible" answered Mr..
Lowry, 'sthat we will run north into the
coal region. That is the idea in view now" ]"

Bismarck Tribune: Judge Winchester,
having completed his circuit and held court
in every subdistrict, as directed by the law,
can look back at pretty good record.
There has not been disagreement by any
jury in any case, civil or criminal, and a
verdict of "guilty" has been found in every
criminal case. A uniform good feeling
has existed between the bench and the bar
and the terms of court have not been bur-
densomo to tho Taxpayers. Judge Win
chester has reason to feel proud of his re-
cord.

The Bismarck Tribune says the Helena
Independent objects to the citizens Of
Billings killing people by tho telegraph
pole method. The Independent claims
the effect on immigration is bad. The

would give tourists better opinion of that
state if they would conduct their exocu-
tions i'll some sequestered nook.

WOOD FOR LOCOMOTIVE FUEL.

What Strikes the Traveller When He Rides
Into southern States.
Throughout the border states Of the
south the fuel for domestic use, as well
as for running machinery, is wood. On
all the railroads wood is used exclusive
ly for firing the engines. Each tender
of the engine is stacked high with short
lengths Of wood ready for use, which
have been gathered from the immense
piles that are seen at regular intervals
along the lines.
Pine j. plentiful in the coast states,
and is the wood principally used. II

find the thick BLACK smoke from the
rich pine thrown of by the engine
equally as annoying and disagreeable
as the sulphur fumes from the btu
minous coal in common use on roads
throughout the coal regions. Back
from the smokestack is thrown a con
tinual shower Of sparks, making a
pretty sight by night. These bits of
fire. as a rule, die out quickly and dc
very little damage. But a spark may
occasionally enter through an open
door or window, and burn its way into
your clothing or the cushions of the
seat.
Another disagreeable feature attend
ing travel on these roads is the dust
you al all seasons of the
year. Close the windows and doors of
the coach as you will, the white sand
dust will enter the crevices and cover
you from head to foot Before you
reach your journeys end you will likely
think you will either be suffocated with
the tar smoke of the pine fuel or stran-
gied Fith the dust
For this reason travellers once pass
