with the patriotism of your people, but
also witch the prosperity and the good
feeling which we found on every hand.
Admitted as a state only ten years ago,
you have made a most marvellous pro-
gress in population and development.
Your population, I am sure, has doubled
in the last ten years, while the products
of your fields in a single year have
amounted to as high as $6O,OOO,OOO.
The vast products have gone from
your rich fields and in turn there has
come back s6O,00O,0OO in gold to enrich
the producer and pay the wages of labor.
I am glad to see that the voice of despair
is nc longer heard in North Dakota, and
the prophet of evil no longer commands
confidence, because he has been proved
to bea false prophet. Your mortgages
are diminishing and your markets are
increasing. The hum of industry glad
dens the heart, and the hammer of the
sheriff at public sale less frequently
darkens the homes. We are a great
country, and you are one of the great
states of the Union. 1t was my pleasure
today to welcome back to your state in
the name of the nation the gallant boys
of the First North Dakota, who did such
splendid service in Luzon. Great
applause.)
Your city furnished one of the COM
panies. They have made not only a
splendid record for themselves, but they
have added a new and glorious page to
American history, and great honor to
the American army. I doubt if there is
a man, woman or child in the state Of
North Dakota who is not proud of that
regiment, and prouder still that they re.
manned on the firing line when there
were many people who wanted them tc
come home. Enthusiastic applause.) II
there is anything in this world we like ii
is courage and heroism, and if there is
anything that an American boy will
never do it is to desert his colors when
his country is in peril. Great applause)
The truth about it is, the boys of the
Spanish war are for the most part the
sons of veterans of the civil war, and the
patriotism, pluck, vim and vigor shown
by our boys in Luzon we're only what we
found in that grand army of the repub.
lie from 1861 to 1865. (Applause.) i
thank you, my fellow citizens, for this
warm, cordial greeting. It has been
especially gratifying to me to meet the
neighbors and friends and fellow citizens
of your United States senator at his
home.

Short the Historian.

Sergeant Phil Short of the Devils
Lake News is the official historian of the
North Dakota regiment and his last
issue contains the account of the regi-
ment written by him for Freedom at
Manila. In closing his article and speak
ing of Young's scouts he says:
A sketch of the regiment would not
be complete without a brief mention of
Civilian w. H. Young and his band of
scouts, which were recruited in the main
from the Dakotas with a few good men
from the Second Oregons and the 4th
cavalry. They were foremost in every
engagement on Lawton's northern trip,
and rendered invaluable service to that
indefatigable commander.
VIM. E. Berkheimer, captain of the Sd
artillery has this to say in his official re-
port on the action of Young's scouts at
San Miguel de Mayumo:
ION the 18th day of May, 1899, certain
scouts of Maj. Gen. Lawton's command,
supported by a battalion of u. s. volun-
teers, the whole amounting to 118 en-
listed men, under my orders encountered
the enemy drawn up in line in front of
San Miguel de Mayumo, p. l., in an ad-
vantageous position, the right flank rest.
ing on a stream, the left on an elevation
rendered secure by q dense thicket, thus
forcing a front attack. The total strength
of the enemy was a%scertained subse.
quently to have been about 600 men;
and, while firing was going on with the
enemy'sdeployed line l carefully scanned
the latter and estimated at the time that
it contained about 300 men. Without
waiting for the supporting battalion t.
reinforce them or be in a position to Dc

SO, a squad of ten scouts, following their
leader, Civilian W. H. Young and Pri-
vate James Harrington, Company G,
Second Oregon, U. S. ", one of their
number, making twelve altogether,
charged the enemy's line, about $50
yards distant, which first wavered and
then reluctantly but completely gave
way, only to be followed up and driven
from the city and environs of San
Miguel, a place of great Importance"
Such are the facts. Recalling them
I have to remark that I know of no act
of military heroism which rises superior
to this. If history contains its record, I
know not the page on which it is written.
The voices Of Young and Private Har-
rington are hushed in the stiffness of the
grave, yet at this moment I can hear
them cheerily urging the scouts on to
this attack. Let their surviving com.

by him on a writ of attachment secured

In Supreme Court.
From Thursdays Daily.l

lnfthe supreme court yesterday Attor-
neys Meyers for the prosecution and
Depuy for the defense argued two blind
pig cases, in which conviction was had
in Walsh county, at Grafton: and an ap-
peal was taken by the defendant to the
supreme court. An interesting point
was raised in one of the cases, in which
a defendant was arrested and bound
over from justice court on the charge of
maintaining a a nuisance. When the
Information was filed for trial in the
district court, it was for a second offense
at liquor selling, and a verdict of guilty
was secured and defendant sentenced to
the ~penitentiary. The question raised is
whether al information for a greater of
fence than that upon which the defend
ant is bound owe can be filed in the
district court, and whether a conviction
so secured will hold, when the facts and
knowledge of the nature of the offense
were in the possession of the states at.
torney at the time of the arrest.
The cases argued were those of the
State VS.. Ekanger and the State vs.
Currie.
This morning the case of the State vs.
Keller from Morton county was argued

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one Of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it,
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cifc cures Catarrh permanently, foritis
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

The Peuce Socirty Pamphlet

We find, on inquiry. that many
members of The Delaware Peace
Society were panied upon reading
the contents of and Public comments
upon a pamphlet recently issued
under the name of TIE Society. for
the reason that neither agree with
the opinions expressed i'll the pam
phlct in question, nor did they con-
tribute anything toward detraying
the expense of getting it out. Fur
tn Il more, 50 long as the matter has
been called to the attention or the
public. they wish it to be under
stood that the pamphlet was issued
without any authorization OF con-
nivancc on their part and that no
meeting of the Society was ever
called for the purpose Of authorIz-
ing the publication Of the pamphlet.
II is unnecessary to mention the
names of the members who object
to the connection Of the name of
their Society with this pamphlet,
because they and their opinion, are
well known in this community, but
they desire that the public may
know that there are still members
Of The Delaware Peace Society
who are uniformity opposed to any
action being taken by the organize
ton to which they belong, which
would cmbarra>s the government
in its legitimate endcarors to main
tain the national authority.

A STAGE DRAGON.
How the One For Wagncr's Opera Il
Made and Worked.

Made and Worked.
Many people, if not all that have seen
and heard Wasncr's "Rhinegold" have
wondered about the inner workings Of
the dragon, 80 feet long, that plays
conspicuous part in that beautiful music
drama. The secret is disclosed by Gus
tav Kobbe in an article in The Century
on "Wagner Behind the Scenes"
AS the performance progresses, the
next mechanical property of interest is
the cnake, into which, in the Nibelheim
scene, Albcrich changes himself by
means of the tarnhclmet, to prove to
Wotan and Loge the truth of his boast
that he can assume any guise. Alberich
steps behind rock. Immediately huge
snake issues from behind it and crosses
the stage with the unculating movements
Of serpent. This is famous bit of
theatrical property, the mechanism of
which is as simple as it is ingenious. The
snake is mounted on small wheels which
are entirely hidden from view, and it
would be child's play to draw it across
the stage with wire. This would not,
however, give the realistic motions de-
rircd.
A section in the serpent's back opens
on hinges. A man gets inside the mon
ster, stretches himself out face down
ward. and the lid is closed. The man
thrusts couple Of sharp pegs through
holes in the snakes belly, and by digging
them into the stage floor works the beast
along, while, with string which he
holds between his teeth, he plays the
lower jaw of the monster so that it
shows its fangs as it crosses the stage.
The serpent's tail is made In joints
connected by two wires to which stirrups
are attached. The man puts his feet in
the stirrups, and by moving his legs as
If he were swimming makes the long tail
curve and strengthen out again. This,
combined with the forward motion. gives
the realistic effect which saves serpent
and scene from being ridiculous.
When in temporary retirement not
from lack of public appreciation, but be-
cause manager cannot always be Civ
ing operas with snakes and dragons, the
pet monster of the Metropolitan Opera
House Is hauled up high in the air be-
meath one Of the fly galleries, and, sus-

gods, so plentiful in his day. when hui
