taken from the women Killed at the
time, of whom her daughter and her
sister were victims.
Old LIE Pier, however, says that he OBJ
tanned the material from which the las
so was made a few years before The
Washington massacre. A party of Nor
mon converts from the New England
states, numbering about 400, he says,
had crossed the Missouri river and were
far north of the usual route, hoping TO
escape the Indians, who were then in
Testing the overland trail.
These immigrants had camped near
The foot Of the Black Hills range, as it
lis historically known. They were at

Pier says that his tribe of Blackfeet
were at war with the Sioux, who raid

who We're out looking for trouble,
learned of the raid and the rich treas
ure their rivals had acquired. they re-
solved to pay the Sioux a long deferred
visit.
The fight was long and bloody, and
while the Blackfeet were victorious

They secured all the booty, including
horses, wagons. clothing, and, in fact
all that the Mormons possessed
Among the things recovered were the
scalps of the men and women of the

5 the Steam Locomotive
Doomed?

Men who know say that in the
next ten years steam locomotives
will disappear and electric motors
will supplant them. They also
say that with the new motive
power trains will rush along at a
minimum speed Of 100 miles an
hour. This will prove a blessing
to those who wish to go quickly
from one point to another, but no
more so than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has proved a blessing to
those who wish to go quickly from
sickness to health. The Bitters
act at once upon stubborn cases Of
dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness
and liver complaint. They i'm
prove the appetite, quiet the
nerves, and induce sound, refresh
ing sleep. The trial Of a bottle
will afford convincing proof. Sold
at all drug stores.

HOW TO MAKE A TOWN.

The Mandan Pioneer very truth
fully says hat no city can hope to
succeed unless there is unity
among it's business men. Politi-
cal differences Of opinion may
divide the masses but it should
never sever the friendly relations
and common interests Of the bust
ness men. When it does, at that
moment it marks the point when
decay sets in. fractional strifes
and local dissensions can accom-
plish more dire results for a pros
persus town than all the influences
that can be brought to bear for it's
upbuilding. And an exchange that
has given the subject Of how to
help a city prosper considerable
thought prescribes the following:
Push it; talk about it; write about
it; speak we'll Of it; help improve
it; choke the croker; beautify the
streets in every way; patronize its
merchants; advertise in. its news
papers; prefer home enterprise
always; speak well of it's enter.
prising men; if you can't think Of
some good word to say, keep quiet:
if you are rich invest in some
thing to employ somebody; be
hustler; be courteous to strangers
that come among you, so they viii
go away with a good impression
always cheer up the men who g
in for improvements. Your OWL
portion of cost will only be wha'
is lust. Don't kick about neces
sary public improvements, because
they are not at your own door O.
for fear that your taxes might b.
raised Is cents.

There may be differences Of
opinion as to the advisability Of
the Admiral Dewey Home fund.
Dewey has built the most magni6-
cent and the most permanent home
that any man can build for him
self, and that is in the hearts of
the American people. A $250,OOO
house is a cold and dreary abode
compared to the warm and cheer
full mansion he has perpetually
ensconced himself into. At the
best the Admiral has not SO very
many years to live, and if he is
entitled to the honors which we
believe him to be, his reward is
not in a house and lot, however
gorgeous. But having started
such an enterprise it ought either
to be decently carried out. or else
publicly sat down on in a manner
to cast no reflection upon the Adj
miral. He is now upon the high
seas and cannot be consulted. He
will be home about October LIST,
and either the fund ought to be
raised long before that time or
else summarily abandoned. A
few enthusiasts have no business
to place either the Admiral or the
American public in a false light.
The lingo, the new publication
Of Chicago, in an able article on
Personal Journalism, says: "The
country weekly, although a favor
tie butt for the city funny man, is
still a power in the land, and
usually a power for good; while
frequently narrow in his views,
prejudiced in his judgment and
provincial in his work, the country
editor is a personal journalist,
holding himself responsible for
his statements and saying what
he says in truth and sincerity.
The country weekly is never a
rich corporation, organized and
managed for profit, and that alone;
it is the mouthpiece Of principle,
the organ of a conviction, and
mere money profit is usually a
stranger within it's gates"
Devils Lake will have nothing
but the best. Just look at this.

plete with good things, the very
best in the intellectual and must
