If ..the tariff is the mother of
trusts, . as democratic authorit-
ties insist, how comes it to pass
that in free-trade England trusts
have been consummated which
control such industries as gun
powder, dynamite, salt. steel
tubes, steel rails, coal, tinplate,
railroads. and shipping? Some
other maternity than the tariff
will have to be sought for. Are
trusts organized in, ''hard times
or in ''good times? Is it not a
fact that periods of revival OF
trade stimulate great industrial
activity, that great industr ial
operations must be conducted
nowadays with special reference
to a brief time limit altogether
unrecognized a quarter OF a
century ago, and that to move
large operations speedily, eco
nomically, and proitably, un.
usual com binations of capital be.

one is crushed thereby cannot be
denied. But that the tariff is re-

Philippines two regiments OF IN
fantry and one of cavalry, with
with q total of 1906 men, one-half
of whom will be obtained from
the volunteers leaving for home.
The three regiments will be filled
with recruits from the United
States. We have still over 49,
600 regulars in Cuba and nearly
5000 in Porto Rico. In Alaska is
a total of AS soldiers and in
Hawaii 483. These two possess
sions are a light charge in o
military sense. Some of the
troops in Cuba might be with
drawn from present peaceful
indications throughout the
island, but as the detail of
pacification are still ahead and a
general election to be held at some
time in the future it is doubtful
if the existing army of 10000
will be much reduced.
In the Philippines are 22,55O
regulars and 5O72 are on: the
way there. By the end of the
month Otis will have a total of
22,622 regulars. In San Fran
cisco, read to sail, are
2801 man, which will make
the aggregate 30,423. The
three regiments organizing al
Manila, and in service now us
far as recruited, will bring the
aggregate to 34,288. Ten new

ranks are now full, can depar'

ing Mr.. Geo. A. Pratt and Miss
Elizabeth McCulloch, Oldest

McCulloch. Rev. B. A. Burns,

ceremony which united these
young people for life. The
happily welded couple ore too
well known in Griggs county to
need an introduction at our
hands. The bride has been a
resident of this county for about
sixteen years, has a very wide
acquaintance and is very much
liked and respected by all who
know her. The bridegroom is a
rising young farmer of this coun-
ty, of exemplary habits, popular
with all and is in every way
! worthy of his popular bride.
Mr.. Pratt has a farm few miles
! north of town upon which he has
! built and furnished a home, and
where he and his wife have see-
tied down to housekeeping. The

Fargo people have suggested
the idea of calling a special ses-
sion of the legislature for the
purpose of passing q bill to ap-
propriate about $25, 900 for the
purpose of paying the fare of the
North Dakota volunteers from
San Francisco to Fargo. The
idea should be sat on good and
hard right now The state of
North Dakota has enough
burdens to carry now without
having any more thrust upon it.
Tie Courier is heartily in favor
of paying the way of our patriotic
volunteers, but believes it can
easily be done by popular sub
scription by the people instead
of by plunging the state into
debt. This idea of yelling for
Company B. and leaving all the
other boys out of the deal doesn't t
set we'll on our stomach. Let
the people of North Dakota as a
whole chip in and bring back the
boys irrespective of location and
it can be done easily. Let a
committee be appointed to handle
matters and get up a badge
.sNorth Dakota Volunteers Ride
Free, What Say Ye," and then
we guarantee that Cooperstown
and other towns of it's size in the
state will buy badges freely. It
will cost each member of the
legislature not less than $50 in
expenses, after donating his time
for a special session, figuring up
that amount for SO members
would be $2790. What's the
matter with the members putting
that into a Jackpot to start the

Tie Sounds OF Battle.

The report of battle reaches the
world over in these days of the reign
of the newspaper, but without any
such outside aid it can be heard far
beyond the scene of actual strife.
The reports of the guns themselves,
the real sounds of battle, 60 far out
into space, and can be distinguished
long way from the point of conflict.
Professor W. F. Sinclair says tina,
there is nothing unusual in the hear
ing of artillery at distance of sixty
miles. The Bombay time guns and
salutes are often heard at the northern
Mahim, a distance of over fifty miles.
The guns are-or were at the time
when the observations were made
very modest affairs, old-fashioned
twenty-four or thirty-two Founders
loaied with four or five pounds Of
coarse, black powder, not all of which
was burnt.
The target practice Of the forts and
turret ships at Bombay was easily
distinguishable from mere salutes and
time guns, not merely as louder
sound, but by being felt in the chest
when the others couldss only be heard.
The sound produced by modern
powder is probably very different from
that of the old black powder, so that
an army in action at the present
time may be relied upon to make its
voice heard. The "din of battle" is
not figure of speech. Youths Com
panion.

Avoiding Wartime Raids.

J. Fl. Gore writes an article for
st. Nicholas on "Hiding-Places in
War Times" In describing q house
on debatable ground that had many
secret hooks, the author says:
The house had cellar with door
opening directly out upon the "big
road" and never did troop, large or
small, pass by without countless SOL
diers seeking something eatable in
this convenient cellar. It was never
empty, but nothing was ever found. A
partition had been run across about
three feet from the back wall, so near
that even close inspection would not
suggest space back Of it; and being
without door, no one would think
there was room beyond. The only
access to this back cellar was through
trap-door in the floor of the room
above. This door was always kept
covered by a carpet, ard in case any
danger was imminent, lounge was
put over this, and one of the boys,
feigning illness, was there 'put to
bed" In this cellar apples, preserves,
picked pork, ETC., were kept, and its
existence was not known to any one
outside the family. - p.

ACQUIRING PROPERTY BY CRIME.
Judge Decides That Murderer's Fam

A Judge Decides That a Murderer's Fam
lily is Entitled to an Estate.
Superior Judge Buckles, Of Solano Coun-
ty, Cal, has decided IN interesting case,
Involving the question as to whether the
family OF person can acquire property as
the direct result OF his own crime. Inc oe-
cision Is in the affirmative.
Louis, Frank, Arthur, Thomas and susie
Belew were brothers and sisters. Louis and
Susie were unmarried, and each possessed
estates in their own right. The father ana
mother were both dead. Frank was with
out funds, and possessed family, with
whom at the time he was not living. He
murdered Louis and Susie with no appar-
ent motive except to succeed to portion
OF their respective estates. he pieaoeu
guilty, and was hanged.
The petition for the distribution OF the
estate OF Susie and Louis Below asked that
tho property be distributed In equal shares
to the surviving brothers, and to the estate
Of Frank Eelew.
One Of the brothers filed objection to any
distribution being made to the estate OF
Frank Belew. on the ground that he, nav
Ing murdered his brother and sister, could
not succeed to any OF the estate left by
them. To this objection q general demur-
rer was interposed and has been sustained,
Judge Buckles declaring that unless the
court can change tho Code OF Civil Pro-
cedure, the estates Of Louis and Susie
Belew must be distributed in equal partsto
the estate of the murderer, Frank Belew,
and the two surviving brothers.

Methods of the Holy Spirit.

They always are the same In. purpose and
in the fact that they appeal to the conscience,
seek to convince Of sin and lead to repent
ance and reform, and, later In experience,
to constantly enlighten and stimulate
to ever holier living. But they are by
no means the same in respect to the man
ner in which they operate. Sometimes
the Spirit makes chief effort to con-
vince the reason, sometimes to touch the
heart, sometimes to arouse by awakening
shame. fear or even remorse. Now 1t Is the
entreaty OF friend which is the chosen In
strument. Then 1t Is the voice Of the
preacher. Again, it may be a memory,
printed line, sight OF some Christlike
action. With one 1t may be the
Spirits choice to enkindle the deepest
emotion, with another only to lead up to
calm, serene act OF the will In choice.
Probably no methods OF the Spirit are
peculiar to any one period OF time. The
almost infinite variety Of human nature de;
mands the largest freedom of method, even
when 1t is the divine Spirit which is at work.
Undeniably special times have special charac.
teristics. For example, 1t is true that the
ou ward signs Of deep religions conviction
are much more rare now than fifty years ago.
Yet the quality of modern n.piety bears
examination as we'll as that Of our
fathers bore it. The one is as gen.
uine as the other and more fruitful.
We need, however, to be more watch
full to detect the fact that the Spirit
is at work. because the tokens Of His special
presence are not more obvious. We need to
consecrate ourselves more thoroughly, In
the first place, and then to be alert to CO.
operate with Him in winning others to Christ.
His methods usually are unobtrusiye. But
il we seek for proofs of His activity, we are
likely to be surprised to find them much
more often, much more near at hand, and
much more evident than we had expected.
