THE WAY WITH THE BOYS.
How a Sensible Travelling Salesman
Takes Life Easy on the Road.

The fat drummer pressed the knob
at the side of the table, and after or
derlng two coolers with s,raws in
them, remarked as he bit of the nub
end of his cigar: 81, isn't the man
who takes all day, that gets the most

thin drummer, as he took pull at the

"Why, it is like this" said the

great many fellows think they must
travel by rail all night in order to reach
town in the morning, and work it
perhaps all day. They imagine that
they have the advantage of

you ought to sleep as sound as a dol

Back From Cuba.

W. L. Jones OF Edmunds returned
Thursday from an eastern visit. While
absent he states be visited Cuba, going
on sailing vessel, returning on steamer.
He was disappointed in finding no
profitable service open in Cuba to
Americans. The insurgents don't want
them and it's very hard. be says, to get
through the Spanish lines for any pur-
pose. The whole island is patrolled.
Mr.. Jones thinks the Cubans are
bound to win. but the island will be
wrecked, commercially and agrlcultur-
ally speaking, for a long time. he
visited Havana and Matanzas. In New
York, at tho Cuban headquarters, are
hundreds Of persons offering TO enlist to
fight the Spaniards, but their services
are declined. Mr.. Jones says that occa-
sionally firing can be heard n HAVANA;
that the city is full of strangers; that
many Americans have become impover-
ished and are reduced TO begeary who a
short time ago were in affiuence. ''Ihis
of its citizens ID foreign countries says
Mr.. Jones, "aud Gen. Lee is good man
for the place. The government never
did enforce the rights of its citizens in
foreign porte, as other governments do.
An American going to Cuba for any
purpose now will make mistake. The
insurgents are half negroes and Spanish.
They get a living cheaply-cau live on
yams and sugar cane-and the Spanish
can not whip them"

new SNOW PLoW.
Another Invention For Snow
Bucking Being Tested on
This Division.
A Stutsman County Traveller
Returns From a Trip
to Cuba.
No Place For An American at
Present-CitiZens Not
Protected.

The new Russell snow plow is now
being tried on the main line OF the
Northern Pacific and is found to be suc-
cessful in clearing the track of snow
quickly. 1t is built on finer lines than
the old wedge plow, requires less force
to operate and is able to get under piles
OF snow quicker and more efectuslly
than any plow yet designed. 1t is built
of Virginia timber, layer upon layer.
The plow is Maine invention, but the
factory is located in Virginia to secure
special varieties of wood needed in con-
struction. It is SAID the plows are as
carefully made as yacht. The point
and the edges are shod with iron, the
trucks of the car on which the plow is
built are of special deeign, and the
whole Is so carefully constructed that it
is practically always ready for duty
never has to be thawed ont or rested for
any purpose after run. 1t is said to
slide through SIX and eight foot drift
with ease. picking mp speed the mean
while. There ie no jar when a drift Is
struck, owing to the fine lines on which
the plow is built. The flying snow or
gradual decrease ID speed is about the
only evidence of drift.
But where the snow Is packed hard
and frozen 1t will not do the work
rotary will, it is said. The Russell plow
was stuck for hours at station in the
Rad river valley last week, where it
stopped to take water. The extent of
the drift was not realized until after it
was too late and it required rotary to
dig the plow out Railroad men say had
it not been for this stoppsge the plow
would have sailed through the drift
with little difficulty. Some IS OF these
plows have been built and are IN oper-
alton. Mr.. Russell, the inventor, is
with the car on this division.

The bill reducing salary of land COM
missioner to 81 800 was passed.
Representative McGinnis' bill for new
buildings at asylum has been favorably
reported by the committee.
A bill was introduced authorizing an
assistant superintendent of the insane
hospital, also cutting the superintend-
ent's salary to $4,000 year.
The proposed measure reducing ssla-
rles Of register of deeds, county treas
urers, auditors ard other county officers
contempa,es cut of from 10 to 20 per
cent.
The legislature recommended that the
states delegation in congress be asked
to secure the appointment Of special
land agent for Col. Lonnsberry, who has
heretofore served in that government
department..
1t is reported that yesterdays delayed
No. /, which did not reach Bismarck
until 10 p m, brought in a large sum to
be nsed to prevent any change in the
prohibition law. It is supposed that the
funds came from outside liquor dealers,
but they arrived too late for any use. it
is said.
One of the last acts of the legislature
was to add 10 more clerks to the house
pay roll. Several OF the old force that
had been drawing salary for 60 da! s
we're absent or sick. The Fargo Forum
completes the incident:
Mr.. Cryan, not twithstandiug the report
Of the com mlttee, said they did not need
any more clerks. and he would prove it
to the satisfaction OF the house If given
an opportunity, but Cryan is pop and
what does he know of economy.
The bill introduced by Mr.. LEM fixes
the maximum rates for teleeraphing ten
words to or from any point in this state
at 20 cents and cent word for each
additional word-between 6 o'clock am
and o'clock p. m., and for all messages
sent between s p. m. and 6 a. m. the
maximum rate shall he l cent. The
maximum rate for telephone messages
shall be 25 cents for the first five min
utee and not to exceed 3 cents for each
additional minute. The penalty is fixed
at not less than $50 and not more than
$500. The measure will hardly get
through, says the Bismarck Tribune
The rate now for kilograms OF ten words
or less from the capital to any point in
the states or from any point to the capi-
tai ia only 25 cents And there is so
much deadhead business-it's question
which numbers the most-paid or IN

Said BY Others.

Representative LEM: The members
who helped put the amendment to the
prohibition law through the house
worked hard and had great deal to
overcome. Ryan of Grand Forks coun-
ty took the lead end showed good gen.
eralship. Ed. Cole OF Fargo is host
also. When the Jamestown petition for
resubmission. signed by over 23O citizens
and all but four OF the business men,
was presented, there was applause. The
sentiment of this city and county was
plain to the members. The change 10
the laws will bring about square fight
on the Issue two years from now and
lead to quicker settlement Of the ques-
ton. That was the feeling of many
members.
Judge Rose: On the whole, the &C.
tion of the legislature in amending the
penalty clause of the prohibition law ls,
in my view, right. The penalty was too
severe for the otfense. I am Informed
that both fine and penalty were more
than the temperance people at first
expected to get.

to snow covering road it was impossible
to drive the team and the horses bad to

Mud lake the snow has filed in to the
tops of the rushes on the bank, about
