And Still Uses 1t.

Fargo Argus: Twenty years ago the
Bismarck TRIBUNE was burning Ignite
coal mined from directly underneath
Fort Abraham Lincoln. Then and for
years afterward it was almost impossible
to get the people to eve try Ignite coal,
but it is now in general use and is pre-.
fe.red by the average Bismarck citizen
to hard wood at 50 per core. It is de-
livered at the home for $3.50 per ton,
and a fire in az ordinary coal stove can
be kept up with it from fall till spring,
The great secret is in letting it alone
regulating the draft ever and in a man
ner so as not to disturb the coal.

To Make Lo Useful,

It seems the intention of the Indian
department to make useful citizens of
Indians wherever possible, and to this
end the commissioner of Indian affairs
has mailed circulars to all Indian agents
and superintendent of Indian schools
directing them to do everything in their
power to secure places during the COM
ing summer for Indians in their charge,
both male and female, adults and minors,
with farmers and others persons willing
to employ them in various capacities,
such as farm hands, servants, herders, etc.
This order was issued in accordance with
an idea of the secretary of the interior
that the best way of advancing civiliza-
ton among the Indians is to bring them
in direct contact with the whites, and
have them taught to perform all kinds of
household and farm service. The sec.
retary's plan is to place as great a mum.
Der las possible at service with the
whites for at least six monthe, and let
them return to the reservations and
teach other members of the tribes and
families to perform the various duties.

Fixing Coal Rates.
The state railroad commissioners have
agreed upon a reasonable maximum rate
for hauling Ignite coal, which, it is
hoped, can be made effective in practical
use for the benefit of the Red River val
ley. The rate is from 81 per ton for q
distance of 100 miles or less, to $2.15 a
ton for a distance of $50 miles. The rate
for 200 miles is S...55 a ton. x
This rate is a reduction Of Is cents a
ton from the present rate to Fargo, and
a proportionate reduction as far west as
Spiritwood and on the branch lines of
the Northern Pacific, remarks the Alert.
It Is a lower rate by Is to IS cents a ton
at all distances than that proposed in
the coal rate bill as agreed to by the rail
road committee of the last legislature
before it was amended and passed, but is
from Is to 25 cents a ton higher than the
rates fixed in the law as passed. In order
to make a rate that would stand the test
Of reasonableness in the courts, the ex-
listing short haul rates of the Northern
Pacific we're accepted as reasonable.
In order to stand in the courts a rate
must be uniform, proportionate to the
distance, hence this rate, to be equitable
and based upon a 25-cent reduction to
Fargo, slightly increases the rate to
jamestown and points west to Steele,
leaving it as it is at Bismarck and Man
dan.
This rate is practically the same as
that on the 500, and a reduction of from
55 cents to 81 a ton from Great Northern
rates.

Give the Farmers Facts.

The average planter has but little use
for finely spun theory, whether it per-
tains to the relation of his condition to
politics or whether it deals with the best
ways and means of growing the best
crops. What he wants is facts. No one
has realized this more than the great
seed firm of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit,
Mich, who for forty years have been
studying the wants and conditions of
planters, large and small, and as a result
have created the largest seed business in
the whole world. Without doubt, a
strict adherence to the policy Of dealing
in facts represents the secret of their
success. They know their seeds are
right before they are sent to the many
thousand dealers from whom the planter
gets them. The dealer knows this to be
a fact requiring no further question, and
the planter finds 1t to be a substantial
fact when harvest time comes. Another
illuctration OF the value Of this method
isfound in Ferry's Seed Annual. in which
there is nothing but facts. Facts that
prove of the greatest value to every
planter; facts about how, when and
where to plant, that can be had from no
other source. There are no worthy facts
left out, aud no unworthy theories let in.
This book is sent free to every one who

A Sad Ending.

Word has been received from Ros-
lyn, Wash, of the death of young Frank
O'Brien, a former we'll known Bismarck
boy, under sad circumstances. 1t seems
that on Christmas eve, Frank went down
to Seattle, and while out with some of
the boys, got into trouble, and was ar
rested and placed in jail. The thing
preyed on his mind to such an extent
that he committed suicide, being found
hanging by the neck and dead in the
morning. Frank was 81 years of age at
the time of his death. He has been alb
sent from Bismarck for several years,
and the sad and untimely ending of his
life will be regretted by all who knew
hSm here. ~

One More Idol Smashed.

1t turns out that Mr.. Rose, the recent
challenger foI the Americas cup, has fallen
under the unfortunate influence of Lord
Dunraven, and las been led to withdraw
bis challenge because it might be construed
into a reflection upon His Lordship's action
in the farce that was terminated by the
withdrawal Of the Valkyrie from the inter-
rational races. the first burst of enthusi-
astic admiration for Mr.. Rose was inspired
by the belief that all Britons were not cads,
and that there was at least one true sports
man left to keep up the time-honored con-
tests for the great trophy. But 1t now ap-
pears that Rose. too is tainted by the be-
lief that member of the British nobility
can do no wrong, and that it would be dis
courteous to a man who has proved himself
sulky gutter to now try to renovate the
damaged reputation of the English sports
men. But there may yet be race next
year. Mr.. Rose and Lord Dunraven are
not the only yachtsmen in England, and
their persistence in misconstruing the
American position in this matter Is not apt
to affect the whole of the British Isles with
the dog in = the Manager complaint from
which these two weakening challengers
now appear to be suffering. Mr.. Rose had
an excellent opportunity to demonstrate
that he was capable Of seeing the truth
even of ar American attitude on a contro-
verted question but it develops that he Is
afflicted with an exaggerated form of the
disease so prevalent In this country wheu-
ever titled member of the English. snob-
ocracy reaches these shores.

Americapfsm Is Popular.

No amount of argument by certain Ameri-
can newspapers in behalf of the British
position in the present Venezuelan dispute
can possibly convince the people of the
United States that dignified Americanism
is improper or Improbable. 1t is unfor-
tunate that such journals should continue
to assert that England is justified in max
ing claims upon the little republic to the
south of us because the Uruan incident, as
they declare, is distinct from the main
boundary dispute that forms the principal
bone of contention between the two coun-
tries. There is abroad firm belief in the
justice of the American position. backed by
general desire that the United States should,
by strong, aggressive policy. maintain it's
proper position in the ranks Of nations.
There was time when the word American
ism was supposed to imply slur upon the
political intelligence of the persons accused
Of that dreadful affiiction, but, fortunately.
that day Is passed, and there is no doubt
whatever that vast majority of the people
of this country are today in sympathy with
the sturdy principles of the present Secre-
tary of State. who has set pace In diplo-
matte administration that is gratifying and
reassuring. Sensation mongers may seek to
undermine his influence or deter him from
his conscientious course by absurd stories
to the effect that he is apt to ALLEVIATE him
self from the sympathies of the President
and the rest Of the cabinet by his firm at
titude In the present dispute, but sensible
men. realizing that President Cleveland
could commit no more grievous political
error than to dismiss minister for such
popular conduct, pay no attention whatever

Less Typhoid Fever.

TIL weekly returns of the health Office
show that all danger of an epidemic of
typhoid fever appears to be past if the
people continue to observe the rules given
them. The deaths from this cause have
decreased from fourteen to eight, and there
Is reason to believe that the number of
cases Is also much smaller, though the
health officer Is still handicapped in making
full returns by the failure Of all the physi-
clans to turn in complete morbidity re-
ports. The decline In typhoid cases is a
sufficient evidence that the people have
generally taken the advice given by physi-
clans and other authorities through the
press, and have Observed the few simple
rules that have been given relative to the
use of water and milk. In most households
all the water has been boiled before using,
and this has unquestionably resulted in
marked decrease in infection and conse-
quently Iii the resultant number of deaths
But the danger period is not yet fully
passed, and it will not do for the people to
diminish in any particular the precaution
