Fort. T0tten Indians.

A Washington dispatch says:
Chief Wanatah, of the Devils
Lake Indians of North Dakota, &C.
companied by an interpreter, is in
Washington trying to secure the
recognition of claims for payment
of certain lands. It is asserted
that the government took about
$4,000 worth of land from the
tribe without making payment
therefor, and also that the North
ern Pacific railroad has a right of
way across the reservation for
which nothing was paid. They
saw Senator Hansbrough and pre-
sented the matter to him. He
will investigate the claims and in
troduce a bill, if necessary. The
senator will will soon introduce a
bill granting the Jamestown &
Northern road a right of way
across Devils Lake reservation
under a permit from the interior
depart, but legislation is necessary
before the Indians can be paid for
the lands used. The bill has
passed the senate several times
but has been side-tracked in the
house.

Rope Walking at Niagara.

The man who wanted to walk
across Niagara Falls on a rope was
wisely restrained by the authori-
ties. Probably he is thankful
that such was the case. Death
comes soon enough. Take the in
roads Of disease for example.
Common ailments like constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, biliousness, mala-
ria and nervousness, do much to
shorten life. There is a medicine
that will cure these, if taken faith
fully, and that is Hbstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. Set the stomach
right, and good health is sure to
follow. This peerless remedy has
a record of over fifty years of cures
to back it up. When in need of a
medicine of this kind, get the old
reliable Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, with a Private Revenue
Stamp over the neck of the bottle.

Pay the Indians.
Oberon Reporter

Oberon Reporter.
At the mass convention at Devils
Lake last month, Maj. Getchell, in
his remarks. made the statement
that the Northern Pacific railway
company had never paid the In
dians for the right of way through
the Fort Totten Indian reserva-
ton, and that the company was
willing and ready to pay the same
whenever the treaty or agreement
with the Indians for the right of
way was ratified by congress.
What necessity is there for hold
ing up the payment of this just
claim? If necessary, the people
bordering on the reservation are
willing to petition congress to do
its part so that the Indians may
get what belongs to them.

equal dividends or premiums. Why
should it be SO? A study of the
following facts will be sufficient.
It is estimated that the increase
in population in the United States
is about 100000 each year (in-
Guiding immigration), which is
equivalent to such a number as
would place a family of five on each
quarter section of land in the state
of Minnesota, duplicate the cities
Of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and
leave a surplus of eighty-three
thousand to CROSS the river and in
wade the Dakotas.
Think what ten years more of
such growth will mean in relation
to production of crops, and the
supply Of necessities; now we ex-
port immense quantities of farm
produce, but it is estimated by
careful statisticians that within
twenty years we will be unable to
supply our own demand for wheat.
Investments in good farm proper
ties, therefore can not help but be
profitable,

The firm establishment of the
authority of the United States
over the Philippine archipelago
means the extension Of American
commerce throughout all the coun-
tries Of the far east; it means an
and ever increasing car
rying trade on the Pacific; the
building and putting afoat of a
large fleet, of American merchant
ships; the opening up of a great
Asiatic market for the products Of
American farms, shops and fac
tories, and it means continued
prosperity in this fauored land.
There will grow up somewhere on
Puget Sound a city that will rival
New York. It will be the CON-
mercial metropolis of the Pacific
coast. With all this in sight who
can stand up and contend against
the idea of national expansion?

Why Farm Lands are Profitable
Investments.

The farm lands of the country
are receiving less attention as an
investment by the majority of in
vestors than the facts will Justify.
What is so sure as land to retain a
permanent value? Stock and bonds
continually huctuate, while the
higher their commercial value the
smaller is the per cent of dividends.
Life insurance is a fine investment
but a man must be sure of living
his twenty years toearn a premium;
yet a farm has a market value at
all times, and will increase in val
ue in an amount to more than

country which the 500 traverses is
rapidly filing up. At this rate it
will not be many years before
North Dakota will have a popula-
ton of more than a million. The
waste acres will be brought under
cultivation, the coal lands will be
developed, new Industries will
spring into existence and unbound
ed prosperity will prevail through
out our borders. This is the out
look for our great state in the
closing year Of the nineteenth cen
tury.

good, strong Republican articles,
which not only defines the sena-
tors position as a true Republican,
but answers those unwisely thrusts

Willard Memorial Services.

Willard the world lost a noble
sponsor and earnest advocate of
everything that was for the better
ment of the human race. AS
national president of the w. G. T.
U. since it's inception she was a
grand example Of self-sacrifce and
the most sublime sincerity in her
.effectual warfare against the evils
that drag humanity from mans
noble estate. Always on the side
of right and justice, her luminous
personality ever stood forth as an
ideal American working with might
and main for God and country.
In her own words her liberal policy
was mo sectarianism in religion,
no sectionalism in politics, no sex
in citizenship" Her enemies were
the foes of the human race; her
life and love were given to all man
kind.
Always seeing to bring sunshine
into the dark byways of life, she
selected the bow of white ribbon
as the emblem of the movement
she generated, and in death it is
only this beautifully simple color
that is to mark the sorrow that has
been brought to millions of homes
throughout the world by her loss.
In commemoration of her memory
the local w. @. T. U. has arranged
for memorial services to be held in
the Presbyterian church next Sun
day evening. The following pro-

Mad Dog Scare.

Some time last week a dog be-
longing to G. o. Russell showed
symptoms of illness which, Mr..
Russell took to be the result of an
attempt by some person to poison
the animal. Accordingly he adj
ministered emetics to dislodge the
supposed poison. Monday last.
however, the illness become mole
pronounced, and on Tuesday,
whether from the effects Of poison
or an attack of hydrophobia, the.
dog made a mad rush around the
streets, frothing at the mouth and
outstretched tongue. swapping and
biting at other dogs that come iii:
his way. The alarm Of mad dog
in town. was soon sent broadcast
throughout the city, and several
hundred citizens armed them
selves with rifles, revolvers and
clubs, and started in pursuit of
the crazed animal. Several shots
being fired at him only. tended to
increase his mad career around
the streets, a terror to all in his
path. At the west end of Fourth
street he was shot at by one of the
vigilance committee, but escaped.
Rushing up Fourth street he
encountered the five year old. son
of Mr.. Crawford, the blacksmith,
biting the little fellow on the
hands and legs; further up the
street, and when opposite Wine
mans shoe store he snapped at
Miss Jean Palmer, tearing her
dress into shreds. Miss Palmer
Immediately rushed into the shoe
store, and after the excitement
discovered that one of her fingers
had a scratch, but whether made
by the dog or by the door handle
in her efforts to get out of the way
the young lady is unable to say,
Up to the time of writing, how
ever, no serious symptoms are yet
visible.
It being known that the affected
dog was in the habit Of going up
to the school to meet the Russell
children, the teachers were re-
quested to inform the retiring
pupils to beware of the danger.
AT noon hour about 200 armed
citizens we're on duly at the school
house and escorted the children
home in squads About 1 O'Clock
the dog was seen making north
west over the prairie and a team
from Bells livery was secured and
pursuit made in it's tracks. Ar
irving at. a hay stack on Miller's
farm, three miles northwest. of
town, the dog took refuge on the
hay stack from which Messrs.
Furloug and Grimes started him
with several bullets. Meeting the
pursuing team on the roaal. the
dog made an effort to get vt the
occupants, when Geo. Perry gave
him the final and fatal shot.
A subscription list was started
in the city among the merchants
and some $l30 raised to help Mr.
Crawford took his little son to
Chicago for treatment under the
Pasteur system, and Mr.. Crawford
and son left on Wednesday morn
ing's flyer for that city.
Mayor Herman Immediately
issued orders that all dogs found
running at large be shot at sight,
and as a consequence the canine
population has been reduced about
80.

There is great promise in the
year 1900 for the state of North
Dakota. Everything seems to
point to a larger immigration than
has occurred in any one year for
the last twenty years. For the
stretch of country along the line of
the Northern Pacific, there are
already booked 5000 new settlers.
The section of the state through
which the Great Northern runs will
make as good a showing, and the
