Mandan Pioneer: A correspondent of
tho Emmons County Record says he has
little faith in Emmons county justice, and
he thinks there are SO many murders
, there, because murderers are not dealt
with severely enough. He calls attention
to the fact that of all the murders that
have been committed In that county only
one conviction was secured. The murder
or was senten ced to the penitentiary for
four years, and pardoned out before his
term expired. This is all true. Murder
ers should be given ropes end to deter
others from committing similar crimes

ON THE PRAIRIE.

Bare, low, tawny hills,
With blucr heights beyond,
And the air is sweet with spring,
But when will the earth respondf
Prairie that rolls for leagues,
DCsky and golden pale.
Like stirlcss sea Of waves,
Unbroken by ship or sail.
Tho hollows arc dark with brush
And LACK with the wash OF showers
And ragged with bleaching wreck
OF tho ranks of the tall sunflowers.
No cloud in the blue, no stir
Save the shrill CT the wind in the grass,
And the meadow lark 8 note. and the call
OF the wind bornc crows that pass.

HOW To FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the kid
neys 5nd bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to get up
many times in the nightto urinate The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for it's wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have
sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention The
WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Bingham

paper guarantee the genuineness of

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 80, 1897.
FOURTEEN ARE GRADUATED.
The High school Sends Forth It's An
nuaI Quota The Exercises.

A very large audience was present
at the graduating exercises of the Wa
tertown high school in Turner Opera
house Thursday evening last. The
class of '97 numbered fourteen and
seated on the stage with them were
their instructors and the board of edu-
cation. Banks of flowers, plants and
palms on either end beautifed the
stage and lent cheerful and pleasing
aspect. The class motto was: "A
broad base for a high pinnacle"
Superintendent Viebahn presided
over the evenings exercises and
opened them with a splendid address
on the advantages of a good education
and the opportunity to obtain it
through the public school system.
Two class songs, ''Eventide" and
|'Swing Song" followed, under the
direction of A. J. Whiting.
The graduates portion of the pro-
gram was opened by Ralph Eberle,
who dissertated on The Good Old
Times" He reviewed the history of
our country since the establishment of
an independent government and
showed in concise form the rapid ad-
vance along the different lines of
science and manners of living. Con-
sidering these improvements, what is
times have no place with the exist
ing conditions of to-day.
The second production was an ESSAY
on The influence of Reading on Char
acter" by Lydia G. Pease. Her effort
was an excellent one aud showed con-
clusively what the subject affirmed.
The effect of reading, good or bad, is
generally impressed strongly on the
one who reads. She made a plea for
the spreading of nothing but the best
class of literature.
One of the most interesting num-
ber5 was the debating of the leading
question, (Which has done more for
civilization, the printing press or the
steam engine Blanche L. Webb con-
tending for the latter and Winnifred
L. Shinnick for the former. Both
young ladies showed themselves to
be remarkably well prepared, and
the different arguments advanced
were sound and to the point. Ofcourse,
our prejudices would no doubt have
prompted US to favor Miss Shinnick
had we been allowed to judge.
At this point Of the literary feast a
barytone solo by William Sproesser,
1.-The Hostess Daughter, lent a
pleasing diversity Mr.. Sproesser
sang in his customary excellent style
and was rewarded by pronounced
applause.
Hattie E. Habhegger's essay,
"Heroes of To-day and Yesterday, !"
showed excellent preparation and
followed a careful line of thought,
The subject opens an extensive field
and the speaker handled it in an intelli-
gent manner She showed commend
able reasons why the great men of
modern times should be as much
revered as those when hero worship
was SO much in vogue.
An atGractively constructed and
tersely delivered essay was the pro-
duction of Mary A. Forncrook, who
chose the rather unique but suggest
i've title, ''For A That and A That. y
She followed the splendid line of
thought contained in Burns famous
poem and upheld the shining examples
set by many men of lowly birth and
stinted means.

proval with his effort, which bore the
somewhat vague title, can Urgent
