SECTION 2 of the wolf bounty
law, as approved by the governor
and filed in the Office of the Sec
rotary of state, reads as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the board
of county commissioners of each
county in this state, at the time
of the levy of the annual tax, to
levy a special tax of one-tenth of a
mill on the dollar upon the assess
ed valuation of all property. real
and personal, and when collect
ed,"-etc. AS the PRESS stated
in a recent issue there was a mis-
print in the session laws" and
the law is all right as to levy
per Secretary of State Falley's
letter filed in this office. The
fund to be specially created for
this purpose will not be available
for about a year, as the levy has
first to be made and the tax so
levied will not be coming in until
next spring. However, tn
county auditors. ali over the
state, are issuing wolf bounty GER
ti6cates in compliance with the
law. which are perfectly good
much like district court certif.
cates-and we see no reason why
the same could not be bought and
sold in a similar way.
The Dickinson press., 1897-05-01

A PETITION has been filed with
the county auditor praying our
board of commissioners to grant
a wolf bounty in Stark county UNI
der the provisions of section 1866,
viz: "The county commissioners
of each county, shall, upon the
petition of IS stock raisers of
such county, offer a bounty moi
to exceed 50 and not less than
81 for each wolf or coyote killed
within the limits of their county"
Billings county is offering a
bounty. of s. which in addition to
the state bounty, makes IS. If
every county in Western North
Dakota would offer a bounty it
would only be a short time until
the wolves would be exterminat-
ed, and in this way the burden of
tax would be equally borne.

WOLF bounty certificates are
transferable and merchants and
other parties so desiring will be
perfectly safe in purchasing, shaw
ing of course, the face value a
little, as the money from the
state will not be forthcoming un-
til the 1897 taxes are due-Nov.
1, next. Section $ of the wolf
bounty law reads: 1T shall be the
duty of the state auditor, upon
the written order of the county
auditor, to give the person pre-
senting said order a warrant up
on the state fund, hereafter provi-
ded for, for the amount required
to compensate at the bounty
prices by this act provided and a.
warded, for the number of ami
mails mentioned in the order, TAX
ing the receipt on the back of the
order of the person presenting
for the full amount received; and

erer shall keep an account of all
warrants so issued and paid and
list them in their annual report

military Post.

The situation with regard to the
site for the post which was accepted
under Dan Lannon'S administration
of the war department does not seem
to be very clear, although there seems
to be we'll grounded report that the
present site will not be accepted by
Secretary Alger and that he has is
sued an order revoking the acceptance
of the site.
The objection claimed to exist is
that the location of the site is such
that it would require a large sum for
sewerage, and that it is thel efore
deemed unsuitable. Whether this
means that another site will have to
be selected, or that the project will
be abandoned for the present is not
clear, but it is believ ed that another
site will be asked for and that in the
meantime the fort at Yates will be

the situation in this respect in the
Kentucky legislature. It would
be hard to say who has been ben
Gifted by the contest in that body.
The senate has not. for it has but
one senator from Kentucky. The
state has not, for the same reason.
The democrats have not. for they
lose a senator. The republicans
have not. for they gain none, and
a division has been brought about
in their party which threatens
serious harm to it. To crown all,
the public are scandalized by the
development of an alleged at
tempt to bride members of the
Kentucky legislature. All these
things tell against the present sys-
TEN. The case is not improved
by the fact that under it Florida
loses half her representation in
the senate. and Oregon has been
deprived of legislature through
the entire period allotted for its
session by the squabbles over a
senatorship in that distant state,
which is the third in the sister
hood to fail to be fully represent

There is more Catarrh in this sec.

last few years was supposed to DO in

tors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatm ent, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease. and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

by F. j. Cheney L Co., Toledo, Ohio,

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven IN. W Regis
ter: Mr.. James Rowland of this vii
lage, states that for Is years his wife
has been a sufferer from Rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such
pain that she vas nearly crazy. She
sent MI. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of MI. Rowland's
purchase at first but nevertheless ap-
piled the balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she
feels an ache or a pain and finds that
1t always gives relief. He says that
no medicine which she had used over
did her as much good. The Is and

tiply it by fifty, then to add her age,
then to subtract 365, then to add lis,
then tell her to tell you the amount
she has left. The two figures to the

Give Us More Little stockmeu.

The following Minneapolis Tribune

Missouri country. This country has
the advantage of springs and many
little streams. People will eventually
learn that there is more profit in
. small bunch of stock, cattle or
sheep owners T already dividing up
their herds aud flocks and placing
them out by the year or ON shares
with different individuals. thus en-
coursging a large number of people to
do something for themselves. In this
way the owners are making as much
and probably more money and they
will in a few years have the further
satisfaction of knowing that they
did something toward the building up
of a rich commonwealth, which could
not have been built up in any other
way.
"Although the loss this year will
not prove disastrous, it is a question
whether the present range method of
handling stock is not in the long run
wasteful and q drawback to the de-.
velOpment of the country. There is
little doubt that under Il different
system ten times the number Of pe0-

It has been demonstrated that the
