ago it will seek by every means in its
power to maintain its supremacy.

than by the circulation of good. sound
democratic newspapers. The publish

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
twenty-five Years Constant Use

The first Indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to

rough cough. Chamberlain Cough

becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and

PAY FOR CUBAN SOLDIERS.
Proposition to Bond the municipalities
to Raise the Money.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Efforts are maxi
ing. with every prospect of success, to
reconcile the ralical element among the
cubans to the proposition of the United
States government to pay the soldiers of
the Cuban cause $3,000.000. This is ex-
pected to be accomplished through the
sweeping authorization by the United
States government for the incurment of a
considerable loan to make good the def
cheney between the sum the United
States agrees to pay to the troops and
the sum the Cuban leaders believe to be
the smallest that can be paid with benefit
and due regard to justice.
So far the proposition has not taken
official shape here, but the administration
has been quietly sounded by the Cuban
contingent, who have expressed gratifica-
ton at the prospects. General Gomez
himself is expected; to broach the plan
formally when he begins his conferences
with General Brooke in Havana.
General Gomez arrived to-day in Matan-
Zas making his way very slowly toward
the capital. What is proposed is that the
United States shall sanction the floating
of bonds by the Cuban municipalities or
provinces to the amount of $1,000. 900,
which sum is to be paid over to the Gu
ban troops in addition to the $1,000 900 to
be paid by the United States. The mu-
Inequalities are to set aside certain pro-
portion from the receipts from customs
and other sources of taxation to meet the
bonds.
IN addition to this the United States
government is to be asked to sanction the
redemption out of the customs receipts
of the bonds issued in aid of the Cuban
rebellion to the amount of $1,000, 900. Data.
it is said here, will be produced by the
Cuban assembly to show that every cent
of this sum was expended in legitimate
war expenses

The attention Of persons who
are told by the yellow journals
that the American forces have
suffered great losses in the
Philippines is called to the record
of the Second Oregon regiment,
which has just returned from
Manila after over q years service
in the tropics. The Second Ore
gon had 1872 men and officers,
and took it's fair share in the
fighting. 1t lost sixteen men
killed or died of wounds, and
thirty-three died of disease, a
total of forty nine, aud a percent
age of 81 per cent. This is only
about three times the average
death rate of Chicago. Yet the

criticisms of the conduct OF
General Otis and tales of hard.

have been we'll patronized and

cultural college are loud in their

the institution is conducted by

is to promote agriculture in this

ing our farmers in direct contact
with the government expert
mental station at the agricultur-
al college. Mr.. Hill is very en-
thusiastic on agricultural and

AS the vacant land is being
settled upon and broken up year
by year, and the sloughs are
drying up and hay meadows get
ting scarcer, it is very apparent
that our farmers will have to
turn their attention. to raising
tame grass to furnish hay for
their stock. Much discussion is
taking place these days in regard
to the sowing of this new kind of
grass-Austrian bronze grass.
That it is a great success
for this country has been dem
onstrated by those who have ex-
perimented with it. Mr.. O. D.
Purinton, administrator of the
Newell estate, planted some of
this grass last year and reports
it a decided success. It has
withstood the rigors of our cold
winters ard came up this year
thicker than ever, yielding
several tons to the acre. Mr..
Purinton thinks the grass is all
right. The Turtle Mountain
Star, speaking on the subject
says:
Farmers who sowed the pack.
age of Austrian bronze grass
seed sent last spring from the
experiment. station at Fargo need
not be discouraged if the growth
this season seems scanty. Prof.
Sheppard's circular letter stated
that it would make neither hay
nor seed the frstyear. Austrian
bronze grass is no longer an ex-
pertinent in the Northwest. Its
success is beyond dispute. The
editor of the Star last week
walked through q field of this
grass at the experiment farm al
Brandon that will yield pretty
closely to four tons an acre.
The farmers of Manitoba are en-.
thusiastic over the subject. Il
is the principal topic of con
versation among them.
