fectly proper. 1t will be remembered
that when the legislature was in session
two years ago. the state was startled b,
the horrible intelligence Of the murder q

in bringing these Indians to justice
After he rounded them up, it looked an
easy thing to do; but be had found it ,

why the reward offered by the stat.

work well, and the state owes it to itaell
to pay its $500 debt.

Coke From Ignite.

An important development with
relation to the properties of Ignite
coal from the mines in North Dakota
has been made by a Minneapolis
chemist, who has burned an excel
lent variety of coke from the North
Dakota coal. He has been expert
menting for some time to see if the
coke could be burned from the lig-
mite, and has been seconded in his
experiments by capitalists who are in
position to use product of coke for
smelling purposes. The experiments
have been successful and it is
stated that the coke made is superior
to the Connellsville coke, the best in
the country, and that it can be burned
cheaply enough to render it available
for use in smelling. The North Da-
kota deep mined Ignite is almost
pure carbon, and other experiments
with reference to it are under way
that promises to revolutionize the
Ignite industry in the state.-Bis-
marck Tribune.

The Courier has been asked by
the Minneapolis Journal to col
lect pennies from the children
for the purpose of purchasing a
watch for Admiral Dewey. The
Courier has all the admiration in
the world for the gallant admiral,
but we are inclined to think that
people are carrying this Dewey
craze too far, consequently we
refuse to go into the deal. Dewey
has certainly been we'll paid for
his services and is no more en-
titled to further honors that are

guns. He has been given the
highest Office possible in the
navy at a salary of $14,50 per

of congress and the gift of a
$4,000 sword; he got about $780,
600 prize money, recently he was
presented with a $4,000 home in
Washington, and now he is going
to marry a widow with a million
dollars. Does Dewey want the

Editor Foley of the Bismarck
Tribune has many clever things
to his credit, and below is one of
them. After reading President
McKinley's Thanksgiving pro-
clamation he is moved to expect
from Mr.. Atkinson something
like this:
To the people of the United
States we would suggest the
danger of being too thankful.
While we are in the midst of
an apparent prosperity, the
whole structure is likely to come
down any time with a crash.
With an unprecedented crop in
all parts of the United States,
who knows but next year we
may have drouth and a crop fail
ure. There is no telling.
Laboris everywhere employed,
but what is the result? If you
want men to put up stoves you
can't get 'em, and if you do
they're so blamed independent
there's nolivlng with 'em. Who
is thankful for such a condition
of things as this?
Many farmers in my state are
unable to hire men to gather
their crops, because there is so
much employment. This is the
direct result of boasted republi-
can prosperity.
There is a surplus Of $3O0.OO0,-
600 in the national treasury,
which is too much. We demand
that half this sum be set apart
for the establishment of soup
houses, to provide for contin.
gencies. We are not without
hope of electing Mr.. Bryan
president.
We have whipped Spain and
we ought to be ashamed of our
selves.
We are waging an unholy war
on the Filipinos.
Beefsteak is too high.
We can't buy a steel rail in the
country.
The crime of 1873 is still un-
expiated.
Pork is on the rise.
We therefore suggest that.
some day be set apart as Day
of Regret, when the people of the
country, mindful of the disasters
that may at any time befall them
shall observe the occasion with
wailing and gnashing of teeth.

to cousin in Mayville of Cuba as a

"What few cattle l have seen
around here are about the same size
as northern cattle and look fat and
sleek. All kinds of meat sell for, an
enormous price and all of it comes
from the states. II seems as il every
animal on the island was killed for
food during the war. Goats sell for
$25; pigs, two weeks old, IS and little
ponies, $1e5. l think man could
make fortune in the sheep business
or raising cattle either. Goats would
also do we'll here. l am told one can
lease some OF the largest plantations
of three and four thousand acres for
a few hundred dollars year. Most
of them are enclosed with stone
fences and have large houses on them,
The original owners are too poor to
stock them.hence they are left to grow
up in weeds and brush. For my
part | do not see why man cannot
double his money in two years time.
