Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-09-01

There are old muSkets picked up on almost
every battlefield of the Revolution and
war of 1872, some restored and others just
as the battle or lapse of time left them.
There are old flint locks, some made anew
just as they came from the old factory and
others as they We're after one or more gen.
e%rations of use. And there is a complete
assortment of all the rifles and muskets
used during the civil war, arranged in the
order they were introduced, SO any veteran
can pick out the kind first issued to him
and note the dates it came in and went
out. And all these collections are ar
arranged in historic order.
In the patent department is the new
rifle proposed for the United States army
and often described, I suppose, and around
it there is generally a group Of curious
veterans. To a man who ''drawed an En-
field" or Belgian smooth bore'' in 1861 or
'62, and now looks on this almost ideally
perfect instrument for dealing death, it
looks as if ages had elapsed between the
two inventions. There is really almost as
much difference as between the bow and
arrow Of the savage and the Enfield. All
around are other instruments of death
and in the big gun department it looks as
if an enemy could be annihilated as soon
as he came within reach. Yet the peace
congress has been in session here right
along and General Howard used these
same ar-reaching death-dealers as proof
that the reign of peace was at hand. They
do prove, I think, that hereafter science
will win and that no half civilized people
will be able to withstand a civilized. And
indeed the gap between the higher and
lower races of mankind has been increas-
ing for thousands of years. The best
drilled and armed Roman legion could
hardly contend successfully against three
or four times its numbers of Gauls or
Getulae, but 500 we'll equipped British
troops can march through hundreds of
thousands of southern Asiatics and with
out serious danger.
***
The great live stock show is on and
booming. The Stock pavilion is the GEN.
ter of attraction and the attendance ut the
fair has materially increased in conse-
quence. Today the Belgian horses have
their innings, on Monday the Arabs, on
Tuesday Cleveland bays and French car
riage horses, and on Wednesday ninety
two will contend for the lead among Ger
man coach horses. So the programme
will continue with q change Of horses
every day till Sept. 8 when the great show
of Shetland ponies will come off and there
will, says the exhibitor, be ''fun for the
little boys" The cattle show runs with
similar changes: 243 Jerseys next Monday
and Tuesday, 81 Holstein Frisians on
Wednesday, G%uernseys. Devons and Ayr
shires on the next three days and so on till
Sept. z and 8, when the sweepstakes
will end the live animal exhibit. OF fu-
ture days of importance the grandest will
be Oct. 8 when, If present plans do not
miscarry, Chicago will picture her desola-
ton in 1871, and subsequent great revival
in a wonderfi il series of floats and pa
geants. Among the fireworks ut night
will pc one piece 100 feet long represent
ing "Chicago on Fire"

Followers of Isaak Walton will have an
other opportunity to celebrate at the fair,
for the officials have set apart Sept. 10 and
20 as fishcrman's day, with the object Of
affording to Ill the fishing interests of the
world u special opportunity to assemble in
congress ut the Worlds fair. A special
programme of entertainment will be pro-
vided, n feature of which will be n pro-
cession of fishing boats of all kinds, from
the skin kayack Of the Esquimnu and the
dugout and catamaran to the whaleboat.

The IIfe-savinx Service.

The exhibitions of the United States
l~ife-saving service at the fair are especially
interesting to inland people. Those who
live on s~eacoasts have opportunities
enough to famUiarize themselves with the
maneuvers, though of course there are
thousands of them, too, who know moth
ing of the service but what they read. The
exhibitions are given on the shore of the
lake just off the north end of the Manu-
features building and are valuable illus
trations of the work and worth of the SER
compartments Of hurricane winds and
mountainous waves.

is no educational exhibit, but there is a

Ontario, of course, has tho finest general
exhibit and is we'll represented in every
building on the ground. In the Art pal
ace half II dozen paintings which draw and
hold the crowd are by Ontario artists, tho
most noted being that entitled 'Forrclos-
urc of the Mortgage" In the Ayricul-
tural building her display is wonderful
and in the Mines building Ontario nickel
leads that exhibit. The famous Sudbury
district is now partially under the control
of United States capitalists, who have IL
contract to supply this country with an
immense amount. la!most forgot to men,
ton that in the fish line every kind Of
product shipped from Canada is also
shown in its prepared state, the actual
fish i'll pickle or otherwise, in cans or bar
rels OF the same kind it is shipped in, all
open to inspection, but fresh and sweet
and good enough to eat. Even the cod
liver Oil does not look disagrccable and
the great piles of dried Goldfish do not out
frank the average village store of my
acquaintance.
1t is quite a surprise to learn that
Canada has produced 800, O,OOO in gold,
of which Nova Scotia contributed $780,
600, that the industry has lately revived,
that Ontario's quartz mines now Weld ST.
100000 n year and that sanguine projectors
firmly believe the Dominion is to be the
great source of the worlds future supply.
But some of the worlds leading expertsin
that line have declared that, according to
the principles demonstrated by past en-
perience, practically incxhaustible quartz
veins may be looked for in the rs yet UNI
prospectcd sections of British Columbia.
Manitoba got here late and so her build
ing is located outside of the grounds and
comparatively few visit tia great pity for
the exhibit is fine. AS yet, however, l
have inspected only the Canadian display
in the fisheries and but glanced at her
minerals and grains, and must give her
another day.

There is one room in the Government
building where one may always find many
old soldiers and often hear odd rcminis-
cences and secure some quiet amusement.
A squad of bluecoats is a common sight
there and the militia companies and veter-
ans who come in squads generally 90 there
in a body. There are old blunderbusses
and Queen Anne muskets which, appar-
emily, would jam the shoulder off a COM
mon man if fired with a full load in.

THE OPEN SWITCH
AN ESTABEISHED sAFEGUARD.


Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller. Its yiclms-killed, horribly man
gled or manned for life-are numbered by
the score each year,
Yet even the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Disease! "But" you reply, con-
fdently, 81 haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those Of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
Auttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
{ spells, your heart IS affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. Ny leftpulse asvery weak, could

REV. STEPHEN D. PEET, Phi. D.,
Author Of Animal Eniges and Emblematic
Mounds, etc.

This book treats of the Mound-builders; their
occupation. mo les OF life, religious systems,
tribal divisions and early migrations.
The work contains descriptions of the earth
works of all classes. The classification OF the
mounds is made according to their uses,
whether as village residences, as defenses, as
religious structures, or as sacriheial or burial
places.
The work contains many illustrations and
descriptions of Mound-builders relies, es-
pecially pipes and pottery.
The vaire of the book is that 1t contains a
comprehensive view of the whole field, and
gives information about the mounds and relies
Of all states and districts. 1t is one OF series
which is devoted to prehistoric America, and
perhaps would be regarded as the most inter
esting volume
