stitution physician now writes that the
woman has recovered her mind, and
the prosecuting attorney has noticed
the case for trial at the next term of the
May Ia. the order for her commitment
having been to the effect that If she

Metaphysical Healing or Christian Science.
No medicine, no manipulation, no mesmer-
ism, no mediumship. Purely mental treat
ment, employing no drugs whatever and
which has been submitted to the hardest
practical tests and has established its own
proofs to he the most effectual curative
agent. Diseases pronounced incurable by
the abest medical profession are many times
the cases that heal the most rapidly under
the metaphysical treatment.
The sick and afflicted will find this treat
ment 10 supersede all other means OF cure.
We are prepared TO apply this method of
treatment to all forms of chronic and acute
diseases at No. 1872. East Main st.

Mansfield to MIR Ter Louis Schilling,

TREASURY STATEMENT.
North Dakota Independent:

North Dakota Independent:
For the information of our read
ers we have prepared a brief out
line of the more salient parts of
Treasurer Nomland's report to
Governor Shortridge covering the
condition of the state treasury, the
receipts and expenditure for the fis-
cal year ending Oct. 81. 1898, and
the whereabouts of the state depos-
its' 1t would be impractical to give
the report in it's entirity, seeing that
II covers the whole of a page Of the
bismarck Tribune, set in nonpareil
type. However, we give the facts
ana figures likely to be Of greatest
interests to the public, and q general
statement of such parts of it as will
oe omitted. 1t will be observed,
nrst of all, that his report covers
Two months Of the Burke admins
'fatlon, as we'll as the period of the
recent expensive Legislature.
At the end of the fiscal year, Oct.
'I' 1892, there were balances in the
various state funds aggregating

MONEY OF THE CONSTITUTION.

MONEY OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Governor Stone aptly said in his
Jackson Day speech that the trainers
of the constitution evidently in
tended that gold and silver should
be the only money of final resort.
And the reason for that intention
was not mere selection of gold
and silver instead of tin and copper,
but it was the cheating of the people
which bad money had performed
before the eyes of the founders.
The fathers of the constitution in
tended to say that the general govern
ment ought not to and no other
power could, ever force the Ameri-
can citizen to take as money any
thing which did not have behind it
the definite and known value of gold
or silver coin. Therefore 1t is that
we must address our efforts at cur
rency reform, not toward piling up
token money ona gold reserve, but
toward widening the standard.

ing, nor would they indicate anything
in particular.
The other disbursements of any
importance are as follows.

The item of public printing COW
ers the printing Of the reports of the
official and public institutions of the
Burke administration besides the
printing of the bills and laws, as
we'll as the journals, of the late
Legislature.
The item of $s6,662.s5 interest
paid on bonds represents the disad-
vantage this administration labors
under. The republicans issued
bonds to meet deficits. No more
bonds can be issued and this admin
istration has not only to meet all
the expenses out of the ordinary re-
ceipts, but pay interest on what the
republicans borrowed.
The total disbursement for the
year were 81, o23,2s7.22, leaving a
balance on hand in the different
funds of $144,144.48 as follows:
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-01-18

S39s,o53.44. On the lst of January
1893, two months later, when these
funds were turned over to Treas
urer Nomland, there were balances
on hand aggregating 100000, ap-
proximately.
In the statement of receipts for
the year, total aggregating
$l,l37,4 is shown. State taxes
were received from counties to the
amount of $282,594.77. Insurance
company taxes netted $ls,947.s7.
From incorporation fees there was
received the sum of $4,000. From
the gross earnings railway tax there
was received 500, ,2sl.ss, as follows.
Great Northern Railroad. ds2 ds2 ee ee
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul.... 2,SI %
Chicago & Northwestern Ky II
$500" Railroad 5oo4 ~
There were miscellaneous receipts
aggregating 1886, ,5o5.oe, from the
school and tuition fund, interest and
income fund, insurance, fees of diff
ferent offices, sale Of capitol bonds,
etc.
The disbursements are not classi-
fed, all being under one head.
However, as considerable has been
said about the expense account of
the present administration we will
give the itemized disbursements of
the different departments, which, of
course, include two months of the
Burke administration. 1t is we'll to
make note of these figures, as they
will be interesting for comparison
later on, when the critics of the
present administration attempt to
proye their insinuations of extrava-
gance-If they ever do.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-01-18

1t may be explained that in some
of the departments one-half of the
expenses charged above were in
incurred during the last two months
of the Burke administration. By
actual comparison it will be found
that the present administration has
been the most economical the state
has yet had,
The largest disbursements, aside
from the above, are for the different
state institutions, and all provided
for by the Legislative appropriation.
The items would not prove interest

A strong military guard remains on

SAND PoIST, Idaho, May l2.-The situ-

ment is critical and is rapidly approach
ing crisis. From undeniablo informa-
ton 1t Is learned that this place is to be
tho base Of operations for the industrials
who are west OF here and who arc unable,
owing to the vigilance Of the United States
deputy marshals. to capture trains on the
Northern Pacific.
Their plan 10. as tho Northern Pacific
and Great Northern meet at this place,
for small bodies Of the army to get here
as soon as possible, some coming on one
road and some one another, and when q
sufficient number have collected TO cap
ture a train on tho Northern Pacific and
start for Helena. This is to be kept up
until the army is all in Montana.
The first contingent OF the Spokane in.
dustrials, numbering about 30, arrived
here this afternoon via the Great North
ern. At Priest river, % miles west of here
on that line, they captured two handcars
and compelled six section men to accom-.
pany them to this place to return with the
stolen property. On arriving here the
army held services, consisting of singing
and speechmakinp, after which donations
we're called for. Quite an amount of pro-
visions and some money was given them
when they started east, apparently intend
ing to continue their eastward journey on
that road.
About two miles from the station. how.
ever, they started across the country and
came out on the Northern Pacific, where
they were joined by others, swelling the
number to about 100. Their object in do
ing this was to avoid the deputy marshals
stationed at this place.
Immediately on receipt OF this news,
Chief Deputy Charles Sweeney, accom-
panied by II other deputies, left for Pack
River station, 10 miles east of here, to in.
tercept them. At this place it was learned
that the army was provided with signal
torpedoes, and that they intended TO use
them to stop and capture train.
At late hour tonight nothing has been
heard of the deputies at Pack River, as
there is no telegraph Office at that place,
and fears are entertained that serious
trouble will occur during the night. Chief
Deputy Charles Sweeney, who has charge
of all the deputies in Northern Idaho, ID
leaving no stone unturned TO obey the or.
ders Of the United States court, and. con-
sidering that he has only 40 deputies on
the entire line of the Northern Pacific in

placed him under arrest. The crowd de.
