the church who is under good and
lawful bonds which provides that the
several funds shall be kept for each

that each and all of the several funds of

where is there any ground for the "fear"

Mandan Catholics,

""ANh NbIIAOAlCSs
EDITOR TRIBUNE: I was very much
interested in the letter which appeared
in your Sundays issue, signed by "One
in Good Standing" in which there was
an alleged ventilation of the "Church
Row in Mandan." The ear marks of the
writer, who hides himself under an
anonymous signature, are very apparent,
and his hyena like laugh has yesterday
aud to-day resounded a good deal on our
streets, and in our alleys, as he has
shown this letter.
It is not my intention to trouble you,
Mr.. Editor, with my side of the case. I
admit freely enough that 1 have in my
possession certain monies which were
turned over to MI when I was treasurer
of the Catholic church of this city.
These monies I am ready at any time to
pay to the parties who are the right ones
to receive and receipt for them. My
standing as a business man is such that
o believe me capable of embezzling
money not my own.
AS a Catholic I may have my faults. 1
may be a "hickory" Catholic-whatever
that may mean. Perhaps as a member
of the church I have not been SO stead
fast, SO constant, SO firm, so true and I'M
finching as the word "hickory" would
imply. However that may be, I have
the same respect and maintain the same
loyalty to the Catholic church as I hope
l may have and maintain when I come
to die. Unfortunately the church some
times allows to sneak into it's fold, 80
called teachers who are a disgrace to it;
men whose language in private and on
public streets is such as to bring con-
tumely on the religion which they pro-
fess; this it does because while the
church is divine, it's earthly agents are
merely human. I believe in works as
we'll as faith in daily life and conduct as
we'll as profession. The layman who
uses vile language is to be reprimanded.
| What shall be said of the wearer of the
priestly garb, who uses language which
makes decent men hold their ears for
fear of contamination?
It is to be supposed that the man who,
when he visits your city, always regis
ters at the hotels some other name than
his own full name-registers in that way
SO as to deceive-would not want to at
tach the cognomen of which he seems to
be afraid, to the letter which he printed
in your excellent paper. But I would
suppose that at this time, when he is
precipitating himself into a trst-class
fight, lie would be a little careful of his
walk and conduct-that he would not
incite such a %disgraceful row as he in
cited only to-day on the public street,
where he used the vilest of language to
another man with whom he could not
agree. If to act as he acted to-day is to
be a Catholic in good standing, then I
misinterpret the term. Yours very
truly, P. w. MoG1LL1c.

The End of His Tramp,

A tramp rode into Bismarck on the
brake beam On one of the coaches on
No. l Thursday. He was put off here
ands remained until Friday morning
when he again boarded the passenger
train and rode to Mandan. He was put
off there, bat was determined to ride,
and just as the train started up, he
darted under a coach and tried to swing
himself up on his perch under the cal,
but he failed to reach it, and falling
across the track the train passed over
him, cutting his limbs off just below
his body. Despite the fact that he was
terribly mutilated, he lived for forty
minutes and was conscious almost till
death. He was a German who had not
been long in this country and was max
ing his way west to look for work.

An Eminent Minnesota Judge.

DEAR SIR: I have always been very
much opposed to patent medicines, and
considered them a universal humbug,
with but very few exceptions. At
various times I have been troubled a
great deal with my lungs, more particu-
larly during the winter. About a year
ago I was suffering with an attack
brought on by a violent cold. I was ad-
vised by a friend to try a bottle of your
White Wine OF Tar Syrup. It helped
me in a very few hours. I used but one
bottle and now my lungs are stronger
than they have been for years. I would
cheerfully recommend it to members of
the bar that are in any way troubled
with throat or lung diseases. Judge M.

self. Maj. J. G. Hamilton, of Grand
Forks, and several other North Dakota
men who have been searching for the
colonel were in st. Paul yesterday on
their way home, having spent the last
two weeks in a fruitless search. Mai.
Hamilton came direct from Chicago,
where he visited Col. Towner's family,
which consists of a wife, a grown son
and a daughter of some sixteen years.
He said that the family was not at all
worried over his continued absence as
the members have some ideas Of the
colonels personal affairs. Col. Towner's
disappearance, however, has nothing to
do with his operations in North Dakota,
as his accounts are straight, and the
directors of the company are we'll pleased
with the work which he has already &C.
complished. The major assured the
Pioneer Press reporter that Col. Towner
was not in Hot Springs, Ark, as re-
ported, and had not been there for the
last three weeks. In the meantime Mai.
Hamilton will have charge of the work
IN the northwest. He said it had been
the intention to ship a number of the
German emigrants to North Dakota dur
ing the first part of April, but he now
fears it will be a little later before many
of them are settled on their new claims,
it not being very we'll known by other
officers of the syndicate where the
settlers where to be located.
To Tax Payers.
The Lisbon Star has grouped the fol-
lowing facts, very important to tax
payers:
The taxes Of 1891 become due the first
day Of December. [Chapter 1872, sec.
ton 81, page 1896, laws of 1890.
Personal property taxes become de-
linquent the first day Of March next
after they become due, and thereupon a
penalty of five (5) per cent. shall attach
and be charged upon all such taxes. II
such taxes are not paid upon demand,
the county treasurer shall distrain suf-
ticient goods and chattels, and advertise
and sell such property at public vendue,
or so much thereof as shall be sufficient
to pay said taxes and cost of such dis
tress and sale. [Chapter 1872, section IS,
page 1897, laws of 1890.
Real property taxes become delinquent
the first day of June each year, and a
penalty of five (5) per cent. Immediately

Time to Start Pansies.

1t is not too early to start pansies for
poisoning outdoors. The seed should
be sown in window box, set in a sunny
window in a cold room, but where it does
not freeze. Pansies love cool, moist
atmosphere. The soil of the window
box should be kept rather wet till the
seeds begin to terminate. When they
are well up, thin them out, fertilize them
little with a teaspoonful of guano dis
solved in quart of water and protect
them from the sun in the middle of the
day, but do not give them any more heat
As soon as the ground thaws they will
be all the better for being planted out
doors, if they are protected at night
There is no spring flower that will give
such fragrance and variety of color as
the pansy. These "little stepmothers"
as the Germans lovingly call them, show
their full beauty and bloom only in the
moist early spring. The great velvety
blossoms diminish in size as soon as the
summer comes and no care will preserve
their size and beauty. They are essen
TALLY spring flower and their beds
should be reflled by June l with sum
mer flowers, and fresh supply of pan
sizes should be sown in the late autumn
or winter for the succeeding spring.

A Woman Rancher.

Among the most successful "ranchers"
in the west is Mrs. Emma Perry, who
for four years has conducted cattle
ranch near Marena, in the western part
of Kansas. Instead of being the typical
farm manager, masculine in appearance,
Mrs. Perry is small in stature, refined in
manner, fair of face, with blond hair
and expressive gray eyes. She is less
than thirty years of age, though how
much less she will not state. She is an
intellectual woman, a clever CONVEX
sationist, and during the last campaign
was able to give her neighbors much
information about current events.
In the spring of 1887 Mrs. Perry was
left widow after less than year OF
married life. During her husbands i'll.
ness she intrusted his business to others,
the result being that the ranch affairs
were found to be in a most deplorable
condition, and bankruptcy stared her in
the face when she took possession of the
property. Partly to save something
from the impending wreck and partly to
occupy her mind after her great loss she
assumed control of the estate and be-
came its active manager. Owning a
section of land, seventy-fve head of
cattle ana few ponies, Mrs. Perry COM
menced her new life, bearing in mind
the many wrecks all about her. Rising
early and retiring late, much of her time
in the saddle, she soon had order re-
stored and her business affairs well in
hand.-Chicago Tribune.

Of all affairs save those in the home.
She may in truth work herself to death,
and take all sorts of shifts and turns in
private, but this is her creed, inherited
from Srandmothers' grandmothers of
the long ago. She believes, as old Uncle
Harvey on the plantation puts it, 'De

The progress of development in the
woman's world therefore lies much in
social lines-literary clubs, art clubs,
afternoon teas, etc. No explosive ques-
lions are proposed; the trend of thought
follows mental current with no under
flow of reform in any way; questions of
art, OF literature, of travel are all dis

Special to The Statesman
BRowNwooD, Texas, March Ia
Last night about ~ o'clock w. Fol-
man left town for home afoot on the
railroad, which was at Kicker, about
six miles. He was a section hand.
Before leaving he remarked in beer
hall that his pocket book was worth
about $500, and on the road home,
al out half mile out, a party came up
behind him, striking him with a
stick, and as he turned he was ordered
to throw up his hands,, and
as he did so the unknown
party shot him in the mouth
and he then broke to run. The high
wayman shot again, striking him in
the back, the ball lodging against the
backbone. He fell as if dead. he was
robbed of the SO he had in his pocket,
his boots and coat pulled off, though
left. After the would-be assassin and
robber left Folman got up, walked
five and half miles home, crossing
the bayou on the railroad bridge.

The Shape of the Earth.

Here are some answers given by young
scholars in an examination:
Question-What is the shape of the
earth? Give reasons for your answer.
Answers The shape of the earth is
round, because you can see it, and sec.
ondly because the map tells you
The shape of the earth is like an or.
ange, and it has pole through the mid
die.
The shape of the earth is like an or
ange, and if you put a pole through tht
middle of the earth you will see it is like
an orange.
The shape of the earth is like an or
ange, and l prove that it is so shaped,
because when year passes it comes
back again.-London Tablet.

How to Manage the Indian.

The Indian is naturally secretive be-
ing, hiding his inner character jealousy
from the eye of any alien race. He is
called cunning, crafty, morose, revenge
full and cruel. So he has been-toward
those who have made no bids for his
confidence and friendship other than
those U-Tered by constant efforts to crowd
him from his country, despoil and even
exterminate him. He is really by ma
ture-not always, but often-the very
reverse of these things.
Place him now under other conditions.
Put him in one of the new troops; teach
him pride in being a soldier of the gov
eminent, and that the government re,
lies on him for its safety and protection;
make him feel that the white soldiers
around him are his comrades, and he rs
good as they; explain to him the reason
of things; give him healthy and con-
genial employment; treat him as an in.
dependent rational being and a man.
cease trying to promote his confidence
in you and his progress by talking to
him about his soul-and you will soon
have result astonishingly different tc
the accepted idea of his race.
He who commands these people best
must be scrupulously just, and keep ev
cry promise as far as he can. He mus
feel genuine interest and friendship
for them, for they are quick to detect
shams. He must at first be patient ant
lenient, Furnishing usually only after re
peated cautions and explanations, 'ant
after he is sure the nature of the offensC
is understood. He must have tact ant
perception Of character, for Indian char
acter is just as varied as the white, ant
treatment that would do for one mar
would break up the troop if applied t.
others.-Lieutenant S. q. Robertson il
