Heavy Hail Losses.

The directors of the Alliance Hal
association of jamestown at the an
nual meeting Saturday reviewed the
losses for the season. They have
been the heaviest in the history oil
the association and will aggregate
about $87 600. This will necessitate
full assessment but the association
while not being able to pay out in
full will pay more than many people
throughout the state anticipated. It
will pay considerably more than so
per cent of the losses. This company
has heard from several of the insure ed
who are satisfied with the condition
of affairs and knowing the enormous
losses, have said they will stay by
the company and insure again next
season.

Coughed Up.

A most peculiar story has tran.
spired in Crookston. Briefly told ii
is this: Three fellows entered Chas.
Vines restaurant last evening about
$50 aud while there noticed lad,
John Olson, with $37 in his posses
sion. The boy wanted Chas. Vine to
keep it for him and let one of the
three fellows count it. This fellow,
John Celley, counted the paper
money and deliberately swallowed
500 of it in bills. The money was
missing but not found, although the
fellow was searched. Later he re-
paired to a back alley and vomiting
himself, threw up the money. This
act was noticed and the police Sc
cured him near Carman. He was
given sixty days in the county jail

Will Weigh the Mail.

The United States government has
not taken complete accounting of
the actual total weights of the mail
matter carried by it for over twenty
years. During that time the volume
of our postal business has increased
enormously. Some idea of the won
derful increase of this branch Of the
government business may be had
from the fact that an expenditure of
S3o,393, ,209.53 for carrying the mail s
in 1888 had swelled to $52, 1894, 1892 %
in 1898, an increase to nearly double
in ten years. In 1879 the total length
of our postal routes was 1891 miles,
the last report shows it to be now
l74,779. The annual transportation
over these routes in 1879 was 96, 1876
463 miles, the last report showing

Improving.

The other fellow claims that "pro.
hibition does not prohibit-does not
even prohibit prohibitionists." Still
to our way of thinking the law is
much better than the licensed sa-
loon. The most effective prohbibi-
ton is for each person to strictly pro.
hibit themselves, without any legal
assistance. The number of such
people is rapidly increasing. The
business world is moving away from
the drinkers. and yearly increasing

New Hall at r1onanpo.

The new Woodman hall in course
OF construction and nearing compile
ton, in Monango, is structure of
which any town in the state might
feel proud. The building has a
frontage of fifty.six feet aud the
main part is 100 feet deep. The
first floor, which is being fitted with
modern fixtures, will be occupied by
Caldwell & Ingersoll as store. Tt
has handsome plate-glass front,
and the floor is of selected hard
maple. The ceiling will be of decor
ated steel. The stairway leading to
the large and commodious Woodman
hall on the second floor is artistically
built on the west of the main build
ing. On the east of the store is the
bank building, the first floor of which
will be occupied by the Monango
State Bank, and DR.. McCauley is
waiting pariently to occupy the Sec
Old floor. An excellent bank vault
is an important feature of the bank
building. Probably the best base
ment in this section of the country
extends the whole length and breadth
of the main building. The heating
facilities have not yet been fully de-
cided upon. 1t is expected the
building will be completed by Octo-
Der i. The outside of the building
will be covered with steel sheesing,
the front imitation stone. At a meet
ing of the citizens Saturday night,
October 20, was the date liked for

North Dakota Cattle.

WA6u Ouo uoAC duuUdl 6GdllSJlCdl
report Of the industrial interests of
North Dakota is issued, it will show
Issurprising advancement in the bust
ness of raising cattle aud sheep.
There are two causes for improve
ment in the cattle and sheep in
terests,
FirstA the permanent advance in
the pric&of meat and wool in the
markets otthe world; and second,
the recent discovery. through practi-
cal experience, that stock can be pro-
fitably raised 3n the prair1es in the
western parts & the state. The lat
ter involves twa things, viz, that
stock can be safely carried through
the long winters inh good condition,
by providing rough ICED, and that the
grasses that grow so Auzurlantly on
the prairies, in such counties as sar.
gent, Dickey, LaMdpre, Logan,
stutsman, Mcintosh andAther coun-
ties, are nutritious and apod beef
producers-and that these gra sees
are nutritious, even after frosea killed,
and furnish good grazing duri4g the
entire winter, when not covered, by
the SHOWS.
For years, thousands of acres
these beef producing grasses-thsE
finest in the world, have been going
to waste-because not understood or
appreciated. The wide awake farm
ers and stockmen are trying to un-
derstand and appreciate these natural
advantages of our state, and, in the
last year, many new ranches have
been opened up, and the number of
stock greatly increased.
This only the beginning, and the
next few years will see still further
advancement in the stock interests.
1t can be safely assumed that beef
will command high price in the
markets for years to come. A few
years ago there was great depres-
sion in the price of cattle and wool;
this resulted in disaster to the live
stock business in the west. The cat
tie and sheep were driven to the
markets, aud sold at ruinous prices.
Many stockmen broke up in the busi-
ness and many ranches we're aban-
doned, or greatly reduced in size. In
time this condition of the cattle in
terests affected the price of beef the
world over. Now all this is changed
and the improved conditions of gen
eral trade-the increased consuming
power of the people, have perman-
emily increased the price OF beef.
Now this is the harvest time for the
stockmen of the west.
This inauguration Of the stock in.
terest in our stats means great deal
for our material prosperity. 1t will
add millions to the wealth of per-
sonal property. Taken in conjunc-
ton with our great cereal crop it will
make us one of the wealthiest and
most prosperous states in the great
central west.-sFargo Argus.

Manila, April 1.-The American forces
commanded by Gen. Macarthur are resting
at Malolos to-day. The men are in good
condition considering the fatigues of the

The plans of the rebels, if they have any,
are conjecural.
Considerable rebel forces have been col
lected along the fronts of Gen. Lawton
and Gen. Hail, who are holding the line
from the water works 10 Lalonia. There is
shooting nightly along this line, apparent
ly for the purpose of breaking the Ameri-
cans sleep. Consequently Gen. Lawton has
detailed five sharp shooters from each
company to attend to the rebels, and the
Americans are picking off numbers of
them
1t is reported that 5000 rebels under Pillar
are concentrated at Cainta and Taytay.
Gen. King this morning sent out re-
connoitering party of two companies of the
North Dakota regiment and a brisk en-
gagement followed durisg which seven Fill
ipinos Were killed. On the American side
a lieutenant and two privates were wound
ed.

COMMERCE. WITH FOREIGNERS.
Phenomenal Growth of the Trade of
the United states.

Washington. April 1.-(SpeciaD.-Th
phenomenal growth of the foreign COM
merce OF the United States. when compar-
ed with that Of other countries, especially
as to its exports is shown by some figures
presented in report of the chief of the
bureau Of statistics, which has recently
been made public
The tables cover the exports OF the
principal countries of the world during the
decade 1SSS-1s9T, the data from foreign
countries for 1898 being as yet insufficient
to make il practicable TO present a gen
eral comparison with the figures of that
year.
The table shows that a decade ago
France, Germany and the United King
dom exceeded the United States IN their
exports. those of the United Kingdom be-
those OF the United States were greater
than those OF France or Germany, and
but % per cent. less than those of Great
Britain while now our exports of domes-
tic merchandise exceed those OF Great
Britain.
A detailed study of the commerce of the
great nations from 1855 to 1897 shows that
none has made such rapid progress In eX-
ports as the United States, but that in
most cases they have increased their i'm
ports much more rapidly than we have.
From 1888 to 1897 our exports increased 81
per cent, while those OF the United King
dom fell Off IA per cent; France showed
an increase OF but 1913 per cent; Neither
lands, 1876 per cent; British Australasia,

and Russia a decrease of 81 per cent Ger
many showed a gain of 1875 per cent. from
1891 TO 1897, the figures for earlier years
not being in form TO permit am accurate
and Just comparison.
In imports, the United states showed an
