penditures on that account will be one
hundred and sixty million. Twenty

surplus in the Treasury will be ex'
hausted, and another loan become nee

ONE OF the Northern filibuster news
papers denounces the Spanish govern

women and children driven within the
military lines in Cuba, the willful de-
struction of property in that island
and the neglect and butchery of Gu.
bans by its soldiers, and says that such
cruelty recalls the days of Cortez and
Alvs." And yet sill such alleged cruel
ty is as nothing to that practiced by
the Northern army upon the people OF
the South during the war between the
States, though the Southern people
were fighting for their constitutional
rights, and the negro and scalawag
Cuban insurgents are fighting to de.
stroy all government.

Parb0i!ing.
Emmons County Record.

One of the dirtiest and most untruthful
anonymous articles that has yet appeared
in Nasty W,llie's Bismarck sheet was
printed last week. 1t is said to have been
written by Mclean county man labeled
"Hogbug" or 'Haagberg," or something
Of the kind. IL is of the same nature as
the other villainous attacks of the lying
cur, Moffet, upon Judge Winchester. A
Mclean county gentleman who was in
Williamsport this week informs the Re
curd that that there is not word Of truth
in the letter. There is not more measly
and low lived skunk in Bismarck than
this contemplate little creature, Moffet.
It 10 an honor and y help to any man to
be attacked by him and the animated bag
of bones who sits at his elbow, breathing
malice and hatred into his ear. The
twain are more of an ihfiction upon and
damage to the Capital City than would be
an epidemic and contagious combination
of itch, smallpox and leprosy, supple
mented by visitation of lice, aeas and
bedbugs.

PLEASURES of Prairie Camp Life.

The femenine picnicin:, party which
left Washburn last Monday for pleasure
jaunt to Strawberry Lake and the Dog
Den Range, returned Saturday evening
last. They viewed nature at hsr best at
Lake Ethol, Prophets Mountain, Lake
View. Dog Den Buttes, Strawberry and
Crooked Lakes. The camera failed to
work, and the hooks and lines lost so that
neither the securing*of artistic views or
fish for breakfast was feature of the
trip. In going from Lake View to the
Dog Dens they became lost and drove
their jaded team 20 miles east of their
course, and beheld from point of land
trail Of black smoke that marked the
line of the 500 road. The only masculine
with the party was little year old Floyd
who, at this point recorded affairs thusly:
"After we seen the cars and smoke, we
calnped at little creek of bad water
so bad we could not drink it. It ralned
all night and water come in the tent and
wet all our backs so we could not sleep
all night. Musquetoes we're heep and we
could not tight them out the tent" And
thus it was they reveled in the pleasures
of prairie camp life.
