Magazines and Notes.

There will be another instalment OF the
Letters of Charles Dickens TO Wilkie Collins"
IN Harper'S Magazine for October. These letters
increase in interest as the relations between
the two great novelists become more Intimate,
aud wildly recall the OVERLOOKING good humor,
the busy restlessness of their author. To those
who remember Dickens as a living personality,
or who were readers of his novels as they came
fresh from his pen, they will be like pleasant
"reminiscences of q time now nearly 10 years
gone by.
The 10Th volume Of Outing opens with the
October issue, and never has a finer number
left the presses. If the standard of tie coming
volume is 10 be- gagged by the initial number,
readers Of this excellent magazine have a rare
treat in store for them, for such number and
beauty of illustrations and wealth of interest
ing reading are seldom found between two
covers.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: What a pity, Mr..
editor, that people who write do not in all
cases take the trouble to think. Or do
they suppose that the dear people for
whom they profess such gushing sympa-
thy are incapable of seeing through their
shallow arguments?
Take for example the article in the
Sunday TRIBUNE on "free text books"
The writer assumes that the state board
provided for in senate bill %, must neces-
sarily be enormously expensive; while
that provided for in house house bill "a,
the one for which preference is expressed,
is free from this objection.
Let us see. Only three (for the amend
ed bill includes but three) members Of the
state board receive pay for services.
say $40 per day including mileage and
boarding. There would be probably three
meetings the first year and subsequently
only n meeting per year would be re.
quired. These meetings would probably
occupy from one to two or three days
each. This would average from year to
year. an annual expense of say $50.

at an expense. say One-half as great as mat
incurred by the state board land it might
De as great or greater even), or say $1,000
against $50 incurred by the state board, or
tWChty times greater, for each member of
llllS county board is entitled by law 10
mileage and per diem, while in the state
board there are but three persons entitled
to either mileage or per diem, the governor
and state superintendent being Salarlpd Of
tcerS. And then again, this county board
may be composed OF as many as seven or
eight members, which will increase the eX-
prnSe accordingly.
And then, as to uniformity, the state
SA stem secures it entirely aud. as any one
may see. at a much less expense both for
Tie books themselves and for their distri-
button. since greater care can be exercised
in their selection and cheaper rates for
their distribution, while the county system
With its 81 boards, composed of county SUI
prrlntendents, and county commissioners
affords 3S times the opportunity for fraud
and cOlIus1On, and then gives us, at best,
but u feeble approximate to uniformity, for
there might be 38 different kinds of text
books in the state. There would most
likely be at least a dozen, which won Id de.
feat the Intention of the bill.
We have this one double question to sub
nit. viz: Which of these boards, as pro-
Vldtd for in these bills, would be likely to
make The better selection of looks for all
the children in the state? And in which
are the greater opportunities for fraud or
collision in the 3S, or in the one?
The latter part of the question would not
have been suggested, but for some low
filings already INDUCED in by some scrib-
bier i'll the Fargo Republican. Such things,
or course. are unWOrtnyOf notice but for the
harm they might do the bill: for no one but

Regarding Text Books,

The following is clipped from The Home
stead one of tine Iowa alliance papers,as be-
ing of interest on the text book question::
"ThOse who are interested in remedies
for the school book abuses would do well
to examine the plan adopted in Iowa a
year ago. after very full discussion and a
very thorough examination of the sys-
tens in use in other states. 1t is a district
purchase plan, with uniformity in the
district III the first instance. but which
may be extended to the county if the voters
so elect. Purchases are made in bulk by
the district OF the county, as the ease
may be-. Publishers are required to bid for
furnishing supplies, and the provision
has worked a very complete revolution in
prices. If a district or county makes a
contract with a publisher and he is
else anywhere in the United States, he is
obliged to give the same terms on his Iowa
contracts or they become void. This gives
the districts the advantage OF the closest
competition existing anywhere, and pro-
tcctS them against an improvident or reck-
less contract in case they should be en-.
trapped into making one. At the same

OF his OWN selection. and permits the far
mer to do his WI thinking and have a
voice in deciding what kind of books his
child shall study as well as what teacher
direct his studies. Uniformity is provided,
but within territory narrow enough to
retain the principles OF local control and
render probable that identity OF interest
upon which the success of uniformity de-
ponds. That the uniformity thus secured
is broad enough to meet the puzzle want
seems probable, for comparatively few
counties have sought to extend it by vote
to county uniformity as they can do under
the law. The bulk prices effect a saving to
the consumer of from fifty to sixty per
cent. upon former figures, the books being
sold to the pupils at cost, and his is the
chief advantage sought in settling the
school book question. Members of lpgiS-
latlres in states where the subject is likely
to be. discussed this winter would do well
to procure copies OF the Iowa law for ex-
animation and study,

Notes From Fort Yates.

Fort YATES, Feb. 3.-[Special Every
thing is quoted down again at this agency.
The Indians have been supplied with
their annual supplies of clothing and
other articles and have departed for their
homes Un Grand river and other parts of
the reservation. The troops all came in
from the field Saturday and one too soon
to escape the cold snap we are just ex,
p%eriencing. and it is remarkable that they
had such fine weather all through the
campaign until the very last day. John

Missouri last Monday night and one last
Saturday night crossing the river from
WinOna. Whisky is the cause. 1t seems
strange that the soldiers annot have beer
in their canteens, but they can just 90
across the river and get beaStly drunk on
bad tire-Water. l am a temperance man
and wonld like to see the use and sale of
liquor stopped. but it is long since l be-
lieved this to be impossible. AS long as
men drink it, it will be sold; then why
not make the saloon men pay for the sell
ing of it? If the soldiers could have
beer in their canteens there would be very
little drunkenness, as this was the case
when they had it, and the danger to them
in crossing the river and of freezing to
death while intoxicated would be avoided.
1t seems the government cares very little
for the soldiers. Well, if they do not care
for the soldiers they ought to have some
respect for the buffalo coats, as each SOL
dier who goes through the ice takes a buff
falo coat with him, and of course this is a
great loss to the government, as buffalo
coats cannot be replaced, while soldiers
can. But seriously, if the government
would help and the enlisted
men to have some place in the garrison
where they could have a little pleasure,
there would not be so many deserters and
a great deal less drunkenness.

One WAY of Making Il Living.

There seems to be no limit to the variety
of ways in which IL dollar can be earned by
a sharp witted man. I know one who
makes Il comfortable living by attending
auction sales of furniture. He is not in
collision with the ~auctioneer; in fact he
will only attend such tales as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for the highest figure bid, no matter how
low that may be. My friend simply trades
on the weakness Of human natur espe.
cially of the feminine variety. Many
women attend these sales, and are really
DESTROYS of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity of trying to out
bid some other would-be purchaser.
They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance on the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can OF tho
best bargains offered, and then disposes OF
them ut Il small advance upon his outlay
to one or other of the disappointed bidders.
1t is not unusual for him to clear from ten
to twenty dollars a day. There is no loss,
for even if the articles are left on his hands
he gets his money back by sending them n
a general auction room.-New York ~ te-

A N1andan Case.

A large delegation of Mandan citizens
was oyer Saturday to hear the arguments
in the case of Gerard against the Mandan
city council. Mr.. Gerard seeks to prevent
the council from issuing a warrant for a
rebate of taxes. A temporary injunction
had been issued, and yesterday the ques-
ton argued in chambers before Judge
winchester was whether or not the in
court, after a lengthy hearing, issued an
order, under which, "until the further Or
der of the court, they, as the city council of
the city of Mandan, shall not issue any
warrant to the Mandan Roller Mill com
pany under the provisions of any contract
or city ordinance" 1t is understood that
the question of the legality of an alleged
contract for rebate of taxes between the
city, and the mill ~companywill be tested
in the court by the parties to this suit.

~Changeable Weather.
From SUNDAYS Daily

Yesterday morning opened up balmy
and springlike, and if one could draw on
his imagination sufficiently he could hear
the plaintive bleat of the lambkins as they
gamboled, so to speak, on the green hill
sides surrounding the city. The silver
tongued meadow lark warbled a bar or
two in H." or Whereabouts, pouring forth
all its eloquent pent-up thankfulness to
the soft blue skies above. The frisky
gopher peeked from his hole. but his an
nual instinct fOretOld coming frOStS, and
he whiSked around and disappeared again
as by magic, telling his mates 1t was yet
too early in the season to start out on a
crusade against the unwary granger who
fails to soak corn in strychnine. The wise
old ground hog the other day awoke from
his long winters slumber and with eau
tiOuS tread come forth to sniff the
meteorological conditions. One sniff was
enough. Then lle Strengthened up full
length to note that his shadow was plain
lv visible before him, and a very dark
shadow it was-SO dark and f%orbidding
that he SUNK back in his lair with de-
.jected mein to spend six more weeks, as
tradition tells us, in his hole.
In short, the weather yesterday morning
fooled everybody but the signal office man,
who generally knows just a little more
than other folks about the future. To
wards moor several blasts direct from the
north pole swept across the land in quick
succession and the mercury began to sink
intentionally near the bulb. The blast
continued through the day and people re-
allied that winter was coming upon them
with one fell swoop-or perhaps a couple
OF swOOpS. SO volumiHouS has been the
matter written about weather that it would
be difficult to say anything new about it
even if one had an inclination that way.
TO make a long story short, the weather
changed yrsterday-from warm in the
morning to cold in the evnning.

Where Christmas Trees Come From,

About fifteen men handle the whole
Christmas tree trade in this town. Most
of the trees come from the Adirondacks,
Catskills, the banks of the Hudson and
from Maine. You may imagine how the
air is laden with their puuyent fragrance
along the line of piers where they are kept
for sale. The balsam fir is tie favorite. 1t
is the most trinity shaped aud most arc
matte. The trees look like closed umbreL
las, with their boughs tightly strapped to
their trunks to secure them from break
age. The wholesale price is about ninety
cents a bundle.-New York Cor. Pittsburg
