A JOLLIFICATION MEETING.

Everybody Joined in Greeting and an
Exchange of Congratulations for D.NU.
There was SO much enthusiasm, over
the victory of Dakota University in
winning the oratorical contest, that
had no chance to break its bonds that q
jollification meeting was arranged for
at the Grand opera house Friday even
ing, and despite the rain and wind the
room was nearly filed on the lower
floor. College colors were prevalent
everywhere. Banners and tin horns
were there in abundance and the enthu-
siasm was even more so. Mayor Full
lerton presided over the meeting and
with him were Messers. Branson and
Hitchcock, also the four orators who in
ears past, have been victorious in ora
torioal contests: Rev. A. G. Shepherd,
Miss Winifred McVay. E. T. Cotton
and b. A. Rodee.
Mayor Fullerton made some pleasant
references to the occasion in calling the
meeting to order, introducing first Mr..
Branson, who thought it sometimes
wrong to rejoice over victory but this
was not one of shem. as it was an un-
usual occasion, for Dakota University
had won the cup permanently, three
times in succession. He was followed
by Mr.. Shepherd, who won the contest
in 1891, and whose remarks were in
deed pleasant and timely. Miss Nc.
Way, who won in 1897, wss joytully
greeted, declared she was still faith
full to old D. U. and her pleasure over
the victory WAS sincere and genuine.
E. T. Cotton, the 1898 winner, grew
humorous in his remarks and was
heartily cheered, closing with some
good Suggestions to students. When
81. A. Rodee, the winner of 1899, came
forward 1t was full two minutes be.

the contest and was particularly pleas

oratoins he heard the night before.
DR.. Graham also indulged in a few
remarks that were appropriate to The
occasion and invited President Drop

few words. Mr. Droppers was YER.
cordial in his remarks and was glad tt
see such unanimity Of feeling among
the colleges over the contest. Th'
new president OF the state institution l
a genial gentleman and was warml,

Mayor Fullerton, having exhausted
the program, dismissed the audienc
and one more cheer went up for Ds

orators.

A FEARFUL CHANGE.

oh what fearful change there
has been in this great country since
it fell into the hands of brigands
and robber chiefs-the agents of the
heartless shylocks. In the year
1912 Charles Dickens visited the
United States. He stopped for
some time in Boston, and from that
city wrote TO a friend in London, as
follows: "There is not a man in
this town, nor in this state who has
not a blazing fire, and meat every
day for dinner, nor would flaming
sword in the air attract more at
tention than a beggar in the
streets. Yes, indeed, there has
been a change, a terrible change
today there are thousands of beg
gars in the streets of Boston, and
every other city in the land and
many thousands there are also with
no blazing fires. This is the "pro-
gress" being made in this country
since its laws are made for the eX-
elusive benefit of the usurous money
leaning class; and whose commerce
is rapidly concentrating into the
hands of unscrupulous corporations
aud soulless trusts. Ia 1912 there
was no legislation in this country tC
Strengthen the public credit" by
killing off part of our money and
issuing gold interest bearing bonds
to loot the national treasury with.
1t must have been that letter OF
Charles Dickens that put the hu-
man hyenas on the scent that they
have followed up with such enor-
nous profit to themselves-and mis-
cry to millions of our people today
who have no meat for dinner, ne
blazing fire at home-but are called
-tramps.

The federal census of 1900 is to
be a record breaking one. accord
ing to all present indications, By
the federal census of 1890 the
aggregate material wealth of the
United States, compared with the
wealth of Great Britain, was less
in ships and merchandise, but ex-
ceeded in many other ieems. The
real estate of this country was then
valued at $50, OO,OOO,OOO, the live
stock at 50, 600, 900, 900, therailroads
at $8,OOO,OOO,OOO, manufactures
and their contents at 100000 600
mines and quarries $1,000, 600, 600
and gold and silver coin 81, 200, r
900, 900.
Ii the present rate of increase is
maintained the total accumulated
wealth of the United States will
represent by the census of 1900
not far from $l1O,OOO,OOO,OOo or
more than double that of Great
Britain. In 1860 the wealth Of the
United States was estimated at
$40, 600, 900, 600; in 1870 at $25, ,000,'
600, 900; in 1880 at $45, 600, 900, OOO
and in 1890 as stated at $65, 600,
600, ,00O The enormous apprecia-
ton of American products since
then. the vast expansion of trade,
the additions of new territory, all
observant persons agree, will put
the United States far ahead of any
other country in respect to mate
rial wealth.

THE GOVERNOR WILL SIGN
Governor Is Something Of
An Anti trust Man Himself.

The legislature of Missouri at a
session before the present one,
passed an insurance law on the
Arkansas plan for all cities aud
towns in the state, leaving out St.
Louis and Kansas City. The pres
ent legislative wiped out the old
law and passed one similar, taking
in all cities in the state. The law
is as tight fitting as is that in our
own state. All it lacks now to be
operative is the signature of the
governor.
With this staring them iu the
face, strong delegation of under
writer's visited Jefferson City and
called upon governor Stephens and
tried to show him the uHconstitu-
tionaIity of the bill, 1t is said the
governor treated his lobbying visi
tors humanely listened to them pa.
tiently and said: 81 guess l viii
sign the bill, as l am committed to
it, unless am fully convinced that
it is unconstitutional" "

The Morphine Habit Increasing

1t is stated by prominent physi
clans that the number of morphine
fiends is increasing, Owing to their
delicate nervous organization, the
habit finds the greatest number of
it's victims among women, although
men too are not exempt, They
take the deadly stuff whenever they
feel depressed or have slight all
ment, and before they realize find
themselves in the grasp of a prac-
tice which can but end IN the grave.
THIS morbid craving comes from a
run down condition of the nervous
system and blood, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters taken faithfully
will tone up the system, strengthen
the stomach and make the blood
pure, and it will help the liver and
kidneys to do their work, 1t is good

Hon. Albert Gallatiu, who was
secretary of the national treasury
under both Jefferson and Madison,
from 1901 to 1909, said, in speaking
of the power the banks were even
then scheming to gain in this coun-
try: 'The right of issuing paper
money as currency like that Of gold
and silver belongs exclusively to
the nation and Thomas Jefferson,
then president, agreed with Mr.
Gallatin in this expression; "Bank
paper must be suppressed and the
circulating medium restored to the
nation to whom it belongs But
since Aarke Hauua's president and
Markie Halna's Gage have control
of the ship of state, they have
changed the combination

Sans, i. e. you could take the ma

enough scraps left over to feed

somewhat like a tug pulling war

matter, though he did not tell us
his friends name, by saying that he
was leading him to the Elks hall to
have him initiated, remarking:
"We won't do a thing to him." and
we thought as much, as the ton
