A Suggestion.

Tax bicycles to help pay for good
roads. This would be only fair. BIZ
cycles are largely used by the people
who are. most vociferous in demand
ing good roads. Now while such
roads will benefit tho farmers and
rural residents, these people are al
ready taxed out of proportion to sup
port road and other public institu-
lions. There is no reason why BIZ
cycles should not be taxed, nor any
good reason why income from such
tax should not be specially set aside
for road construction. In Massachus-
etts bicycles are assessed for taxation
the same as other property and pay
the same rate. If the average rate Of
taxation is SIS per thousand, this
would be seventy-fve cents per whee'
on an average assessment OF $50 each
In State like New York, where there
are probably upward of 100000
wheels, this would yield On income o
nearly 100000. On general prlncl
pies we thoroughly indorse the goo(
roads movement and believe that goo<
roads are one of the best investments
for farmers. The great point is to se
that the farmers do not pay an undu
proportion Of the cost Of this improve
ment.-American Agriculturist.

The Value of Good Roads.

There is all over the country deep
and growing interest in the subject of
good roads. The people generally
have learned that good roads pay and
that bad roads are terribly expensive.
There is not State in the Union
which has not done more good road
work in the past five years than it
ever did before in an equal period of
time Some of them have done ten
times as much.

Broad-Tired Wagons.

Some of the leading citizens of this
country are agitating the feasibility of
Introducing the broad-tired wagon for
the protection and benefit Of the coun-
ty roads. The subject of good roads
is attracting more than ordinary at
tention in all parts Of the county.
There are several bills on the subject
to be brought before the Maryland
legislature at its present session.
Most Of these schemes, while un-
doubtedly good, would probably in
volve more or less expense, whilelf the
broad tire is universally adopted the
cost would be very light, and it would
be decided step along the way OF
improvement. All the roads can be
rounded into fine shape by road
scrapers properly used, but can never
be kept so as long as heavy loads are
being continuously hauled over them
on narrow ties. The broad tires will
roll and pack and continually improve
them.
Mr.. E. E. Goslin, in the lower part
of this county, is making q practical
test of the broad-tire wagon. He has
new iron wheel q little over four
inch tread which is working adm'ra'
bly. Its advantage over the narrow
tire is apparent when the wagon can
pass over the road several times with
out the tracks being disturbed by Other
vehicles. 1t is estimated that there
are about 800 heavy wagons in this
county. Now, unless the majority o
! these contained broad tires it would b
1 almost impossible to realize the al
;, vantage in the way of improvement
from the fact that the broad tire
!, would have to break o new track wit
every load. If the broad tire wer
!, universally used, however, there woul'
/. be solid roadbeds, and the deep rut
!, now made on the county roads by til
i narrow tire would disappear Greens

ward was very bitter between Secretary
OF State Falley and Judge Lauder, both
of whom reside in the ward. The Judge

followers called the caucus, but Mr..
Falley's forces proved the stronger and
delegates chosen by Mr.. Falley were
elected. The Lauder forces withdrew
from the caucus before voting when
they found the opposing forces treble
their own. It is considered a big VIC

are confident that the Richland county
convention will indorse him for r~e-elec-

School to be held here next month be-
ginning on the Sth. The selection is a

of the first Summer Training School
held at Bismarck.
Any n wishing to furnish board and

Reading Circle for Burleigh county;
those wishing to be enrolled, will please
call or address this office, and the cards
will be supplied.
The following books have been
adopted to constitute the course of read
ing for 1889. Halleck's Psychology
and Carpenters Asia.
Halleck's Psychology is a modern
presentation of the science upon which
the true principles of teaching rests. It
is not only a professional book for the
teacher to aid him or her in their school
work, but is also a volume of personal
culture, which the teacher will find of
great value.
AS for Carpenters Asia, it is a volume
which no teacher a afford to miss.
The late wal between China and Japan,
the present complications growing out
of the contemplated partition of China,
our present conquest of the Philippine
islands. the rapid completion of the
trans Siberian railway, and the vast
growth of British cities in India have
directed the world to Asia.
The price of Halleck's book is s1.25
per copy, and OF Carpenters is 60 cents
per copy, making a total of s1.s5 for the
two books. CD. EDICK,

age those desiring to seek employment in
Hawaii. The market for all kinds of
labor, it says, is o~verstocked, and it
would be very unwise, in the opinion
of the consul general, for any one to
visit the island with no capital on the
mere chance of obtaining employment,
many Of those who have so arrived be-
ing compelled to return disappointed.
Wages on the plantations, including
house and fire wood or room and board,
range from S125 to S175 per month for
engineers and sugar boilers, $50 to $40
per month for carpenters and black
smiths, $40 to $50 per month for loco
motive drivers, 500 to Sl75 month for
book keekers, $50 to $40 per month for
tcamsters. In Honolulu the rates are
So to 81 per day for bricElayers and
masons, $3.50 to SIS per day for carpen-
tiers and painters, and So to S. per day
for m%achinists. Cooks receive from IS
to Sc per week, nurses, house servants
and gardeners IS to SO per month.
Retail prices of provisions are as fol.
lows: Hams, Ice to Doc per pound;
bacon, 1Gc to zoe: flour, $3.50 to IS per
100 pounds; rice, 1926 to IS FER 100
pounds; butter, Csc to Doc per pound:
eggs, 25c to SOC per dozen, and ice,
one and a half cents per pound.
Curiously the productions OF the
islands are almost entirely a class Of
articles for which the people of the
United States have in the past been
compelled to send money outside Of
their own borders. Sugar, coffee, trop-
ical fruits and rice, for which we send
abroad more than 5000, 100000 annual
ly, are the chief productions of the
islands, and, while the quantity so pro-
duced amounts to less than one.tenth
of this sum, it is believed that it may
be materially increased, and to this ex-
tent our expenditures for this class Of
articles be in future, kept within our
own borders and among our OWE people.
OF sugar, of which it is said the Ha-
waiian Islands are much more productive
in a given area than those of the West
Indies, the expectation increased from
294,7S4,819 pounds in 1895 to 500, 1885,
232 pounds in 1897, and for 1898 will, it
is expected, be considerably in excess of
%last>year. Of coffee the expectation in.
creased from 3,O51 pounds in 1891 to
337,158 pounds in 1897; of rice the ex-
portation increased from 3,76S, 1852
pounds in 1895 to 5,499 ,499 in 1897, and
in pineapple the increase was equally
striking. In the, matter of imports, as
above indicated, nearly all of the neces-
stiles of life, aside from sugar. fruits and
vegetables, are imported the products of
the United States being given the pref
erence in nearly all cases.

boy being punished by the teacher of
Menoken school. He did whip him
until his legs were stripes from his
knees to his ankles. I can prove it by
a dozen of our Menoken neighbors. I
also took him to DIR. Harcourt, Judge
and Mrs. Bartholomew, States Attorney
Allen and several others in Bismarck
who saw the little fellow. He is only 6
years old. The only reason for his being
whipped was because he could not make

l called on the chairman and the
other member of the school board to
call a special meeting and have the
teacher removed for his brutality to my
child. They would not call a meeting
OF have him removed, refusing to do so
for reasons of their own. Hoping you
will publish this in your next weeks
paper and correct a false statement
made by the Menoken school board.

Death Of Mrs. Anderson, Wife of Rev.
Anderson, at the Parsonage Early
Monday Morning.
Result Of the Several Conventions that
Have Been Held About the
State Recently.
Facts and Figures Regarding the New
Possessions Acquired by the
Government.
Death of Mrs. Anderson.
From Mondays daily.

Mrs. Anderson. wife of Rev. J. M.
Anderson of the Methodist church, died
at the church parsonageM Monday morning
after a lingering illness. Mrs. Anderson
has been ailing for a period of three
years, during the last nine months of
which her illness assumed a serious
form and for several months before her
death it was realized both by her and
her husband and friends that her death
was but Il matter of a short time. For
the past week she has been failing
rapidly, and the end came this morning,
the sufferer passing away peacefully
and with an abiding faith in the beliefs
OF the earnest Christian, her lite having
been consecratcd to the service of her
Maker, in whose name she has wroughts
earnestly and etlectually as a sincere
member Of the church, who desired
others to see the glorics of a Christian
and a spiritual life.
Mrs. Anderson was eight days less
than thirty-threc years of age, her
birthday being on the nintccnth of the
present month. Her maiden name was
Ray II. Cuylcr, daughcr of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. E. Cuyler, and she was born in
Bruce county, Ontario, near k%incardine.
She was married at Kincardine to Rev.
Anderson on December 2S, 1887, and it
was there that Rev. Anderson entered
the church rs d minister, and his wife
worked with him in the church. She
had a deep and effective influence for
good, having embraced the church faith
when but thirteen years of age, and
having been an earnest worker since.
Her sincerity, earnestness and zeal
brought many into the fold of the
church and her work so well begun
there was continued in this state, to
which she came with her husband six
years ago. They were assigned first to
the church at Forman and afterward at
Glendale, coming here from the latter
place. Testimony as to the sincerity
and benefit of her good influence is
offered from both places, where her
friends are numerous, and where the
news Of her death will cause general re.
greet.
Sincere sorrow and sympathy is ex.
pressed in the city, where she endcared
herself to all who knew her by the
qualities which have made her an in
t1uence for good in each community in
which she has lived. She leaves four
children the eldest of whom is ten years
Of age. 1t is Il sore bereavement to the
little ones, but especially so to her hus-
band, to whom she was a beloved and
supporting helpmeet, and Il loving wife
and companion.
