The Charge Erroneous.

1t 10 reported that the assertion has
been made by Gen. Thomas Morgan that
the Catholic sisters stole coal at the Fort
Tottep Indian reservation, where they
have school. Bishop Stanley, in a
telegram to the Minneapolis Journal, de.
nounces these assertions as ''infamous
lies" Elk Indian Agent Maj. Cramsy,
who was stationed at Fort Totten during
the time when these alleged thefts we're
made, in an interview. says that the coal
was furnished the sisters by the govern
ment, under contract, to use in the
school.
During the Grant administration, Maj.
Cramsy says, it was dec'ded to apportion
the various Indian school districts to
separate denominations. Thus, the Epis-
copalians, Methodists, Baptists and 9TH
ers were given different districts. This
Fort Totten station happened to be the
Catholic district. After this all the In
dian schools OF all denominations were
made contract" schools, subject to reg
ular inspection by the government.
" hen Indian agent at Fort Totten be
with the authority Of the government
back OF him, ordered that this coal be
delivered to the sisters at the school and
church. In regard to the latter institu-

Plenty OF Wolves.

Geo. Kurtz, who lives in the valley OF
the James about sixteen miles north Of
the city, says that there are quite num-
ber OF prairie wolves in that vicinity and
a close watch has to be kept to see that
no damage to small stock is done. His
dogs have had several fights with the
brutes while watching the premises.
The wolves became so bold as even to
attack SOW and pigs near the house.
The wolf was persistent and seemed de-
termined to secure tender young
porker and had 1t not been for the SOW
would have carried away Juicy meal.
The female porcine fought SO valiantly,
however, that she actually succeeded in
putting the volt to flight. The incident
was watched from the house, but a gun
could not be used for fear Of killing
either the sow or pigs.
Owe johnson, who lives 10 that neigh.
borhood has lost one or two sheep by
these marauders. Close watch has to
be kept upon all sheep folds.
Mr.. Kurtz suggests that wolf hunt
with hounds be held by gentlemen of
the city who desire good sport. The
wolves are supposed to have their dene
in the coulies and ravines bordering the
river and if not caught in the open could
be run to earth and then killed.

engaged in the sheep business for good
many years and believe that man who
raises sheep ought to be able to wear
woolen clothes; not cotton goods, as
most OF the farmers have to wear. But
il you will investigate it you will find
that the best Of the clothing worn BY
farmers is shoddy stuf-s little cheap
wool mixed with rags and cotton, while
most Of the farming community wear
overalls and glad to get them. During
the last ten years farming has been get
ting worse. Bad prices have hurt the
country far more than bad crops. All
this time We have been living under a
high tariff. Now the democrats have
changed it little, but there is no pros
pect Of 1t helping the farmer and the
laboring man az I can see. About all
our legislation is against farming and in
the interests OF other industries. When
you strike blow at farming you hit
every other industry. For these reasons
I am peoples party man, for I believe
q change in our financial legislation as
demanded by them, is of far greater i'm
portance than any further legislation on
the tariff, which Is claimed to be the only
real issue by the leaders of the old
parties.

Campaign BuncO Steering.

TIE last issue of the New Rockford
Transcript contained an unusual number
of rank statements purposely sprung
at the close of the campaign to make it
difficult to refute them. One of these
fctions is that that the populist admin
lstratlon reduced the railroad taxes and
raised the farmers taxes by raising land
values all over the state.
The facts are: The state board OF
equalization consists of nine members,
one from each OF the SIX judicial dis
tricts and the governor and attorney
general. At the last meeting of the
board the motion to reduce the assess
ment on the Northern Pacific branch
lines from $500 to $4,000 a mile, was
voted for by five members of the board,
the one republican and four democratic
members, and voted against by the at
torney general, auditor and governor
and one other member, minority OF
the board. Is this the act of the popu-
list administration as the Transcript
says? The records say not, and the rail-
road men say the reduction is simply fair
any way according to the productive
ness Of the branch lines.
Another sample Transcript fake pur-
posely started to fool some of the Eddy
county peo pie. is this:
1.-The populiss administration raised
the value OF almost every farm in the
state for assessment purposes, but they
are very careful to assist the railroads in
the matter of little or no taxation. Let
any pop. who denies this statement call
at the auditors Office and read the popu-
list state auditors letter of instruction,
which will paralyze the most skepticsl
pop"
The board OF equalization, with ma
jority of democrats and republicans did
not raise the value of almost every farm
in the state, at all. The board simply
equalized the assessments of lands in
several counties, raising it in the Red
river valley, for instance, in Grand Forks
county to equal the values in Gas,
county-which we're held to be reason
able-and reducing the assessment in
some of the western counties where 1t
was held to be too high.
The people know that the tax rate levy
OF mills has been reached long ago and
the constitution forbids higher levy;
also the debt limit OF the state $20O, GOO
can not be exceeded as the constitution
prevents it. The yarn therefore that
this administration has raised the taxes
is simply campaign buncombe.

Politics and Farming.

To The Alert: The idea has OBJ.
tanned for years that farmers should
not engage in politics, but leave
the job in the hands OF politi-
cal lawyers to make laws in the interest
OF their clients-the corporations. For
proof OF this statement read Judge
Trumbull's address. Our ancestors
threw off the English yoke because they
we're taxed without representation. How
many representatives have tie farmers
and laboring men in congress? Are not
farmers, tho more numerous class, pay
ing higher rate than others? Why
then should they not take an interest in
the financial legislation OF the country?
and have men to represent their inter
ests?
Down east in a certain town they we're
having one OF those periodical revivals.
It was also during the time Of the so
called Rreenback craze, that the minister
engaged man in conversation who re.
marked that he was greatly concerned
about the financial condition Of the
country, that things were looking bad,
the national banks were corneriug the
money, etc. The minister very earnestly
replied: My dear sir, don't trouble
yourself, there are men appointed to
attend to the finances. My dear sir
look right after the interest of your soul
Now We believe the ministers are
called to the highest and most sacred
work, but when they stoop. they make
very poor politicians. Because man
enrolls himself among the professional
classes he must not imagine they have q
monopoly Of the bralns.
This playing 'see-saw" with the tariff
for tho amusement Of politicians and the
deceiv,ng Of the taxpayers ought to stop
Better by far raise the revenues Tor the
government by direct taxation and tsz
on incomes and lnheritances than this
selfish squsbble for protection. The 70
publican party have run the government
for over thirty years under the highest
protective tariff ever known. The demo.
Gratis were pledged to undo mischievous
legislation OF the republicans. They
passed the German bill endorsing the
sugar trust legislation Of the republicans
and now democrats are asking them.

To the Voters OF Stutsman County.
I came to Stutsman county IN 1873,
and am here yet. l expect to stay if l
can make q living, for the country is
good enough for me. I would like to
say word to my friends and aceuaint-
ances IN jamestown and the county. I
am for the first time in my residence
here, a candidate for local Office that I
want and need. / have been elected and
appointed TO several public Offices in the
past and for none of them have my SER
vices ever been paid for. In early days
here acted as deputy sheriff without
pay. After that was the first register Of
deeds, and county clerk. and saved to
the taxpayers of the county considerable
money by having the assessment roll
destroyed because there was no necessity
for taxes other than to pay salaries, and
in those days We were all new men and
acting for mutual benefit. Afterwards I
was made first county superintendent of
schools, which work I did without pay.
I think my friend Boynton, who acted as
a deputy, cot at one time $500 for his
services. In this capacity saved to the
county at least $50, which would have
gone into the territorial treasury. Next
was made one of the court house COM
missioners for construction OF court
house, and made hard fight to locate
the building within block, or short dis
tance OF the town. For my services on
this commission I also received nothing.
Have been member OF the state normal
school board and received nothing as
salary for services and can say that We
saved in careful construction Of the
building good sum for the state, using
nothing besides the appropriation. Ny
services have been gratis always, but
have done hard work just the same as
those who have worked for the county
and been paid for it. Iwould like to be
elected county Judge, and ask in all fair
ness it I am not entitled to the small
reward if any one should be. Ny record
as public spirited citizen ought to 60
for something. I believe if the citizens
of jamestown and the county look at the
matter in the light OF the above state
ments. which can be verified by all old
residents, that they will feel like giving
me their votes at this time when they
will be greatly appreciated.

Increased Stock Shipments.


From the beginning Of the range ship
ping season until the close OF September
last year 10000 range cattle we're mar
keted, or about 10000 less than 1892,
says the Montana Stockman and Farmer.
The total shipments this year up to Oct.
l we're 10000 head, an increase over
both the preceding years for the same
length of time. AS a rule the largest
shipments of western cattle are made in
October and November. The total run
for the season OF 1898 was 313, 400, and of
1892, 271,OOO. From the present outlook
the run OF 1894 will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of 100000 head. If prices
keep up, and there is every reason to be-
lleve they will, the season Will be the
best western cattlemen have had in
years.

How to Steam the Face.

Have kettle of water boiling hot on
the range Take a newspaper, fold
down the middle, pin two of the ends
behind and put it ON like big hood,
letting it come we'll over the face in
front. Rub the face thoroughly with
any good cold cream and sit by the range
and hold your face as close as possible
to the steam. Keep turning the head SO
as to steam all parts equally. After 10
or 20 minutes perspiration will freely
set in. Don't rub off this grease and
perspiration with towel, but scrape it
with a silver bladed knife, as man
shaves. After all is removed battle the
face with warm water in which few
drops of sweet scented benzoin have
been poured. If outdoor air is to be
faced, wash the face first in cold water
to prevent chapping; otherwise rub a
little cold cream under the eyes, over
the eyebrows and behind the ears. Lie
down and take nap for rest after the
proceeding.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic with

Of the year. If prepared in the follow
ing way, it is really delicious drink:
Put the yoll Of an egg into dish with
teaspoonful Of white sugar and a tea
spoonful of orange or lemon juice and
beat lightly together with fork. Put
the white on plate and add pinch Of
salt Then with broad bladed knife
beat it to stiff froth. Now, as lightly
as possible, mix all together in the dish.
Then as lightly transfer it to q clean
tumbler, which it will nearly fill if
properly made. 1t must not stand in a
warm place. as it soon becomes liquid
and loses its snowy look. Any fruit
juices may be used in place of orange
or lemon, or even brandy if the doctor
has ordered it.-New York Advertiser.
