Value of Cedar.

"Every landowner with cedar among
his timber would do well to see that
none of it is cut down to waste, for it
is a wood that is in great demand, and
h price Is likely to advance rapidly"
says n lumber merchant. "Florida has
made millions Of dollars out of its
cedar, and other States can and will
follow suit, for the number Of pencils
manufactured is getting greater every
year, and this is the only kind of wood
that can be used with any prospect of
success in the process. More than half
the wood cut for pencils is shipped to
Germany, where than half the
worlds supply Is actually turned out,
and both France and England also take
large quantities. The pencil manufac-
turing interest is easy to control, there
being less than thirty manufacturers
in the entire world. -Four or five years
ago there was a lead pencil trust, but
finally one member broke away, and
then prices were slashed in competition.
More cedar wood is being exported each
year, however,"
whese Policemen Are Kept Busy.
japan has a police force modelled
something after the French system. In
various places throughout Toxic there
are small k%obanchos, which are some
thing like the English sentinel boxes,
but larger.
Three men are attached to each box
daily. One remains inside resting.
while another stands at the door, and
the third patrols a beat and returns at
regular intervals to the box. Stations
are changed every eight hours. After
tw%enty-four hours work the three DO.
licemen are given the same length Of
time to rest, and three other men ara
sent to the box.
During their off days the men are
employed in taking a census, making
reports regarding the condition Of
streets, bridges, entertainments, drains
and cemeteries.
They also report weddings, births.
deaths. theatrical performances and
the presence of suspicious people.

When the war broke out he was ordered

liable, or that the conditions are not as
worthy of attention as is now believed.
In that event, the plan may be changed
next year. But. if the facts develop as
the weather man has predicted from the
data, then in future these observations
will be continued and made public year
ly in time to have the river towns pre-
pared for the floods.
The data accumulated by Mr.. WEIGH
contain information of much historical
value. One of the features is as to the
loss of water sustained by the Missouri
river. AS a matter of fact, The Missouri
river at a number OF places farther north
has a greater volume of water in it's
flow than it has at Omaha. Where does
this water go? is a query that is giving
government engineers much trouble.
For instance, according to reports on
file, the engineers discovered that be-
tween Yankton and Sioux City, Iowa,
where another measurement was taken,
the river had lost more than half it's
volume-suilicient water to make a river
100 feet wide, ten feet deep and GOO
miles long. Scientists are inclined to
attribute this to the underground flow
of the river.

T. A. Slocum, M. c., the Great Chem

to the Afflicted, Three Bottles Of
His Newly Discovered Remedies to
Cure Consumption and All Lung
Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. c.,
of 1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make it's
great merits known, he will send, free,
three bottles of medicine, to any reader
Of the Bismarck TRIBUNE who is suffer-
ing from chest, bronchial, throat and
lung troubles or consumption.
Already this thew scientific course of
medicine has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to human
ity-to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend
it, and more SO is the perfect confidence
of the great chemist making the propo-
sition.
He has proved the dreaded consump-
ton to be a curabie disease beyond any
loubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured, in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Ad.

laid down by the committee for those

! which the instructions were followed,
influenced more o r less, the decision.
The selection is considered u very fortu-

The intention is to divide the country
into east and west-and make a com
posite picture of the ladies of each sec

exists between eastern and western
types of beauty.

Country Boundary Bill.

Attorney Simpson of Dickinson, who
represents the counties of Stark and
Billings in the county boundary matter
is in the city Monday, arguing the case
before Judge Winchester. Attorney
Burke for the other side was in the city
last week, and as it is impossible for
him to be here today, the matter has
been submitted by the plaintiffs on
briefs.
The allegation of the plaintiffs in the
case is that the bill changing the boun-
diaries of Stark and Billings counties,
by adding the unorganized territory to
them, is unconstitutional, because Of a
defective title, and because the cons!i-
tuition restricts the legislative assembly
from changing the boundaries of any
| counties unless the act applies to all
counties. These are the main conten-
tions of the plaintiffs. The attorney
for the counties argues, first, that the
matter of changing county boundaries
is a state affair, and that the constitu-
ton not expressly forbidding the legis.
lature from changing county boundaries,
full plenary powers are reserved to the
legislature either to add to or take from
counties, provided they are not de.
creased below the constitutional limits
Second, that four Legislative assemblies
have passed on the matter, and each Of
them have construed their powers as
argued by the defense in this action. II
is also argued that the counties of Nc.
Lean, Ward, McHenry and Pierce were
organized and specified in 1891 by a bill
Of the legislature identical with the
Stark county measure, and it that is de
clared unconstitutional, it will sacrifice
great property interests that have be
come involved, throw out county, town
ship and school bonds, and otherwise
I. act to the great detriment Of these com
munities, and to the property Interest,"
of the counties.

No Flood Expected.

Observer WEIGH Of the government
weather bureau at Omaha does not ex-
pect any flood of the Missouri this year,
and his prediction accords with those of
old time rivermen in this city who have
been familiar with the river for years.
They state there is not enough snow to
raise the volume of water, in melting, to
such an extent that the river is likely
to overflow it's banks. The snowfall has
been very light all along the river and
the adjacent mountains. The water in
the river is 50 per cent lower through
out it's course than it was ever known to
be at this period of the year. At
Omaha it is five feet as compared with
ten feet last year at this time. The ice
on the river has not exceeded fifteen
inches at any point. This is a signif-
cant feature, because most of the dis
asters of the lover river have been due
to the melting of the ice up north before
the lower river was cleared, causing
dangerous gorges when the volume of
water came down. Last year at this
time there was seven feet of snow in the
Dakotas. Now there is not ten inches.

Special announcement to policy hold.
ers.
This company has for some years past
held and reported a reserve upon its ac-
cumulation policies higher than the
standard of any insurance department
in the United States. 1t has now de-
cidel to take a further step in advance,
and the detailed statement for 1897, to
be issued next week, will include a fund
of over SIG, 000, COO voluntarily set aside,
which, with the policy valuation de-
termined by the state department, will
be equivalent to a reserve at 3 per cent
on all it's policies in force on Dec. 81,
1897.
On all policies written hereafter, the
company will also hold a 3 per ceut re-
serve, but will not increase it's premium
rates. The forthcoming statement of
this company will, therefore, be based
on a higher standard than ever before
adopted by an American life insurance
company. RUFUS w. WEEKS,
