The telegram sent out from Bismarck
saying that the state is in bad way by
reason Of an error of the late legislature,
regarding the collection of taxes, is said
to be faulse. The report was circulated
that taxes could not be collected, and
that the state would be left without
proper funds to carry on business; but
no doubt some smart correspondent for
the eastern papers got short of news and
manufactured some to suit himself. At
any rate, the state is all right, and all
taxes can, and will be collected, says a
later message. Our legislature was all
right too.

Truth Crushed to Earth.

Two fair young girls sat in dainty
boudoir gazing into each other eyes.
1--WE are such good friends, Marcia, >
said one, ''and we can afford to say to
each other just what we think. Now, I
have such splendid scheme. Suppose
we start out today by telling each other
the exact truth without regard to any
question of politeness.
"How perfectly lovely, Lobelia!'
oooed the younger girl of the two.
Lets begin right away. What do you
think of me?''
81 think said Marcia, "that you are
almost as pretty AS you think you are
and when you don't try to be you are
the most charming girl in the world. =
''How awfully good of you'll rejoined
the other. "And do you know that when
you came in was thinking that you
looked just like one of those big feather
busters which had taken notion to
walk? Only your feet are so very large
that the illusion was not quite perfect. =
Two disheveled young women, with
their faces cross lined by scratches, were
taken out of that aristocratic mansion
five minutes later and hurried in an am
bulance to the nearest hospital. New

Ate the Church.

Bishop Williams Of Marquette was re-
Gently invited to serve his alma mater,
Cornell university, as university preach
er. He did so, coming straight from the
synod Of the Canadian church at Winni-
peg and bringing this story with him:
"There was a missionary bishop there, "
said Bishop Williams, "who had been
six weeks in coming, most of the way
by canoe. He rose and began by saying
that he would speak for himself and for
brother bishop who, unfortunately,
could not be present. He was sorry to
say that his brothers. diocese had gone
to the dogs A general gloom followed
these words. He went OH to say that the
bishop had found so many inquirers aft
er religion among the Eskimo north
of Hudson bay that he had to build q
church. AS there was no wood he used
whales ribs for rafters, covering them
with tanned walrus hide and SO made a
church to hold 80 persons. All went
merry as marriage bell for time un-
til-the dogs grew famished and ate the
church. Troy Times.

An Elk Horn Fence.

At Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellow
stone Park, there is fence made of elk
horns 1t incloses the greater part of the
grounds of Photographer f. Jay Haynes
studio. The fence is composed of over
800 selected elk horns. All of them have
10 points, and great many have the
royal IA points. They were shed in
March, 1896, and were gathered in June
of the same year by Mr.. Haynes and
three of his men within radius of ten
miles of Mammoth Hot Springs and
within four days time. There are about
1850 elk in the park now. Each pair of
horns would bring 81. so at the railroad
at Cinnabar, about eight miles, or at
least $40 pair in the east or south. -

He Put Out the Light.

Many stories have been told about the
mistakes made by greenhorn telegra-
piers, but one of the worst we ever
heard was that made by young man
who had received his diploma at tele-

and was assigned position, and the
very first night caused bad wreck. He
received orders to put out his red light
and give orders to conductor Of No. ~
to meet No. SO at M, and he obeyed
this important message by blowing out

GIudness Comes

IATith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
lv removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if IN need of a laxative.
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
1sedand gives most general satisfaction

BOUNTY A CONTRACT.
House Appropriations Committee
Favors Paying Sugar Planters.

House Appropriations Committee
Favors Paying Sugar Planters.
A Washington dispatch says: The PEI
ttion Of the sugar planters of the south
and west for an appropriation of 81 ,04S, 600
to pay the sug,r bounty in full on the crop
which was planted under the Mckinley
law and harvested under the Wilson law
will be granted by the house committee on
appropriations. The subcommittee on the
sundry civil bill had special meeting Sun
day to consider the request, which had
been presented by the congressman from
Louisiana, Nebraska and California and
concluded that the claim was valid one.
The Wilson act cut off the bounty en-
tirely. but congress made an appropria-
ton of something more than $5,OO0,00O to
pay the bounty on the crop which was in
the ground when the act went into effect
and which it was said the planters had
planted largely on the strength of their ex
pectations Of bounty. That appropriation
was not for the full amount of the bounties
due and was divided pro rata among the
claimants.
The additional appropriation now pro-
posed is to make up the full amount of the
bounty due for that year. The committee
is undecided whether to put the appropria-
ton in the sundry civil bill or make it q
separate bill. The committee considered
the bounty provision contract.

Christians in Creto Call ON King
George to Take Possession.
Canea dispatches of February s, say
Christians about Canea have hoisted the
Greek flag and proclaimed the union of
that island with Greece. They have in
vited the King Of Greece to take possession.
The Creton committee at Athens has is
sued proclamation addressed to the peo-
pie of Greece, calling for assistance from
all freemen.
The latest news from Canea is to the
effect that lighting outside the city still con-
tinues and that provisional Cretan
government is being formed. The fires
which were started as result of the
conflicts between Mussulmans and
Christians have been completely ex-
tinguished. By far the larger portion of
the town is, however, heap of ruins.
The Turks have been expelled from
Halepa by strong force and the Spha-
kiots, or inhabitants of the town of
Sphakia, on the southern coast of Crete,
are now engaged in desperate struggle
to regain possession of the place. The
Christians are fighting under the flag of
Greece all along the line.

that Duestrow s crime was directly charge
