ALEXANDER Nj Do' "ALi" America. settling
first in Canada. Some of Alexander's
early manhood's years were passed as
farm laborcr, an occupation not at all to
his taste. After he got out of that he
learned how tO make edged tools, but
some time in the sixties he got a place as
second porter on tho steamer Edith, plying
between Buffalo and Chicago, and from
this humble situation to that of captain of
the steamer A. Scott, long since wrecked,
his rise was sure, though not rapid
When Cleopatra's Needle. the Egyptian
otelisk now standing in Central park,
New York, was presented to the United
States, Captain McDougalls attention
was attracted to the problem of transport
jng masses and general freight in bulk.
This was ten years before the first whale
back was built, bur it was then that the
germ of the strange vessel was born In
his mind. Directly after that he was sent
II Russia and other parts of the world by
men specially interested to study the best
methods for transporting freight lie
made many recommendations to his prn-
Ctpals, but nothing came of them
In 1852 he determined to settle in On

there he gradually camo to control the bust
ncsscs OF shipping agent and broker, steve
core etc Meantime he had worked at
his model ship whenever he could, having
fitted up the attic Of his house for work
shop, where he had tank in which he
sailed his model and other fittings. He
found it impossible, however, to interest
any one in his scheme Indeed every one
laughed at it,, though, hccause of his bust
ness success as Il shipper shipowners and
ehipbuidcrs usually treated him with pu-
litonesS to his face, At last, however, he
got little company organized to build II
whalcback, his idea first being to con
struct barges only The first craft was
tho famous 10l, and though it was "A queer
looking boat it was a success in that it
would carry more freight than any other
CHaft of the same cost The remainder of
the story is soon told. At the present
time there are more than 40 whalebacks

Before that for short time he was sta
toned in London before that was attach.
cd to the ministry of the interior at St
Petersburg and yet previous to that was
Russian minister at Constantinople.
1t will be seen from all this that he
must bo very well posted indeed in the
politics of the continent and his senti
ments will he understood when it is stated
that he considers Vienna the ideal center
of diplomacy. He is, in short, stout ad-
vocate of the triple alliance of Russia,
Germany and Austria and is understood
to have been somewhat out of favor during
the reign of the late car because he could
not or would not conceal his opinion that
Russia's persecution of Bulgaria was
stupid and the filtration" with the re-
public of France filled with danger. 1t is
predicted that the coming few months
will witness such IL love feast of kaisers"
as has not taken place since 1875, and
that the object of it all will be to crush
the growing popular movement in each of
the three great Eurpean empires.
Prince Lobanoff- Rostovski is of very an
Client family-he boasts openly that it is

is derived from an early ancestor who was
surnamed Loban because Of his high fore
head and Rostovski from the old town of
Rostov where the Lobanoffs were for gen

Pioneers Of Civilization.

A hundred and four years ago there
was born into this world, in a quiet
country parish of England, one Of the
souls tthat became conspicuous a
lights to and leaders of men-John
Wesley. He was the founder of the
religious sect of Methodists. and sci
dom has any mortal attained such a
following as he in less than a century
from his birth. In the great West
the Methodist preacher has ALWAYS
been abreast of the settlements; in
fact he has been pioneer Of civiliza.
tion, and much more than will ever
be written down is due to him for tho
development of our country. Among
these pioneers the preachers of other
creeds have not been laggards; and
earliest of them all were the Catho.
lie fathers who visited the far North.
west more than century ago-the,r
names preserved in the appellations
of towns and counties. In the last
forty years the great pioneer force of
of the West has been the railroad -
often not waiting for the woodsm an
or farmer, but pushing far ahead of
settlement. and making it possibili.
ty. Such a force has been the great
Burlington Route-civilization, ,devel.
opment and prosperity have followed
its steps as it crossed the Mississippi,
the Missouri. spread itself over the
plains of Nebraska, touched the foot
of the Rockies at Denver, penetrated
the Black Hills, and is now in the
Mountain State (Montana), besides
paralleling the Mississippi from st.
Louis to st. Paul. For information
about the system, of tickets and

sketch Of Edison; s''rhe Great Salt
Lake and Mormondom." by E. v.
Moore; "Dogs and their Keeping" by

The Review of Reviews for March,
in accordance with its custom, dis
cusses the work of the various state
legislatures, thirty three of which
were in session during January and
February. The Reviews article
gives the results of recent CORE.
spondence with officers and members
of these legislative bodies in all parts
of the country, thus forming a
unique contribution to current politi-
cal information.
The publication office of Public
Opinion was moved March S from

which latter address all communica-

A Good Winter for Stock.

This has been a wonderful winter
for the northwestern ranges. The
winter has been the mildest on rec.
ord. There was an unusually heavy
fall of snow; but, as it did not crust,
it did not intefere with the feeding
of cattle on the open ranges. True,
there was two weeks cold spell af-
ter the first of February, but cattle
were in exceptionally good condition
to Withstand it, and reports after the
severe weather had passed, were to
the effect that cattle were in good
condition and did not seem to show
the effects of the long spell of cold.
Now the weather is perfect June
weather, fires are let out in the
houses, men are wearing spring over
coats and ladies arc on the streets
without wraps. Of course q storm
may be looked for about the goth of
March, but so late in the year little
damage beyond the drifting of cattle
may be expected. The live stock OF
all classes are in good shape and with
the early grass that should follow
the heavy SHOWS the promise is for
fleshy stock by shipping time.-Mon

Veto Message.

Governor Allin has vetoed Senator
Perkins bill, which provides for or.
ganization of two or more unorgan-
lied counties into:one county whenev.
or there shall be one thousand or
more inhabitants within the territory
proposed to be organized. The veto
is as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, !
BISMARCK. March S, 1895.
10 the Senate:
GENTLEMEN: I herewith return to
you senate bill No. so without my
approval. have given the bill my
careful attention, since it was placed
in my hands, and am Of the opinion
that the best interests of the state
will not be subserved if the bill
should become law. Senate bill No.
"a, passed at the present session, and
now a law, makes full, ample and
complete provisions for the organiza
ton lof all unorganized counties in
the state, and for its attachment to
organized counties to which it is at
tached, by law, for judicial purposes,
and the provisions of the political
code fully provide for the organiza.
tion of new counties in accordance
with the provisions of the constitu-
tion.
Should No. so become law as it
stands now without provisions for re-.
pealing the former laws passed at this
session, it will place conflicting laws
upon our statutes and will require, in
my opinion and in the opinion of the
attorney general, Cowan, adjudication
of the courts to decide which bill
to proceed under before the unorgani-
zed territory can be organized. The
condition of our treasury and depict.
ed revenues seem to me to impera.
lively demand that the law upon this
point should be clear and that no de-
lay should be tolerated in the organ.
ization of the unorganized territory,
but that the state should proceed tt
get the revenues to which it is enti
tied from property therein situated
as speedily as possible, and existing
laws make ample provisions therefor

COW.Boys COrralled.

The Pioneer Express. voiced the
people when it said, out west there
was large territory outside of or.
ganized counties; in that unorganlzed
country the cowboy ruled supreme
and escaped taxation on his herds,
but he had no representation in the
legislature; nearby counties have
therefore corralled the cowboy and
his herds and divided the spoils
among them, by extending their own
boundaries by act of legislature, un.
til some of them are $50 miles long;
this is chapter one.
Next election these corralled COW.
boys will vote, they will run their
own primaries, they will run their
own election boards and judges, they
will be miles away from anybody,
and if the increased population of the
bad lands don't surprise the citizens
of the county towns ''thereto attach.
ed" with chapter number two, it Will
be strange indeed.

In another column of this issue
will be found the veto message of
Governor Allin on senate bill No.
50. This bill was introduced by
Senator Parkin, a wealthy cattle
man living on the border of the
Sioux reservation, one of the two
who opposed Senator McGilliv-
rays county extension bill, and it
is very obvious why senate bill
No. 50 was introduced. The
Governor did his duty in vetoing
the bill, and he states very clearly
and concisely in his message why
it was his duty.

JOHN LEAsK, Co. Auditor,
Taken In Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success in warding off sickness
which, if allowed to progress, would
have undermined the whole system
and given disease strong foothold
to cause much suffering and even
threaten death. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done all this and even more. 1t
has been taken in thousands of cases
which were thought to be incurable,
and after fair trial has effected
wonderful cures, bringing health,
strength and joy to the afflicted. An.
other important point about Hoods
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are per.
manent, because they start from the
solid foundation of purified, vitalized
and enriched blood. But it is not
what we say but what Hoods Sarsa.
parilla does that tells the story.
