The Way They Caught Wolves.

Mandan Pioneer: The problem of
destroying wolves in the bad lands of
Billings county is a very important one
for the stock men of that region, and
there is no immediate prospect of cx-
terminating them. Mr.. A. ]. Coils of
Billings county was in town last Saturday
and he was telling of a hunt for some
wolves that he and Schuyler Lebo had
recently. They tracked their prey to
the den, and after some little difficulty
they caught three old wolves and ~
young ones. The entrance to the den
was through a hole in solid rock that a
man could not get through. They
caught the young one in traps as they
came out of the hole, and the old ones
they shot. 1t is estimated that the old
wolves in this one catch had last season
killed a carload of cattle.

Printing Without Ink.

A company has been formed to con-
troll the process of printing without ink,
by using electricity and chemically pre-
pared paper. In a short time, it is ex-
pected, this innovation will be completely
introduced, and old methods revolution
lied. There is one thing, however, that
has resisted all innovations; that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which has many
imitators, but no equals as a cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. This
peerless remedy has been the standard
medicine of the American people for the
past fifty years. 1t is a wonderful medi-
cine for dyspepsia, indigestion, bilious
ness, insomnia, constipation and nervous
ness. 1t also prevents malaria, fever
and ague. 1t keeps the stomach in good
condition, and the bowels regular. Try
it, and you will not be disappointed.

The wool question remains
about the same as it was a week
ago. The wool warehouse is
nearly full and there is quite an
amount stored in other buildings
around town, making in all $780,
900 to 100000 pounds, and no
buyers in sight. AS we stated last
week, it looks very much as
though the big wool houses of the
country had come to an under
standing whereby they hoped to
force the price of wool down. In
Montana the same conditions are
noted as here-no buyers in the
field. The wool raised tributary
to Dickinson grades very high and
the growers are sure to get a fair
price if they hold out for it.

Came to Market Wool.

This week IS loads of wool came in
from the southwestern part of this state,
South Dakota and Montana, I45,ooo
pounds in all. These growers had heard
of the Dickinson wool market and came
here rather than to haul to Belle
Fourche, S. d., expecting to find buyers
ready to take their wool, which would en-.
able them to buy supplies and load their
teams back. The most OF them, how.
ever, consigned to Nichols, Dupee & Co.,
of Boston, taking 10 cents per pound ad-
vances. Following are the names of this
party Of wool growers who came all the
way from 100 to $50 miles to market their
wool: ]. c. Gleason, Ward & Cheese
man, R. Turberville, VIM. Mowbray,
Davis Bros, Chas. DuMont, Cook & Son,
and Bright Carter.
GA. Nicholson, who is spending the
summer with VIM. Mowbray Of Midland,
Mont. accompanied the wool growers in
this week. Mr.. Nichelson's home is in
Chicago, where he is a medical student
in Rush college.

Fire insurance Rates Reduced.

Walter l. Fisher, secretary of the
Minnesota and Dakota Fire Underwrit-
ers, was in Dickinson on Tuesday and
Wednesday tor the purpose of re-rating
the town. Mr.. Fisher was much pleased
with the steps that the trustees had re-
Gently taken in the line of fire protection,
but what pleased him most of all was the
fine class of brick buildings that the
town has commenced to erect. There is
nothing that will reduce fire insurance
rates SO much as good brick buildings.
On the whole rates will be found to have
been reduced considerably when the new
tariff comes out about the middle of July.
In some instances the secretary could
not grant a reduction in rates, but, with
one or two exceptions, nom of the old
rates we're raised. The new residence
rate will be classified and the party hav-
ing a residence without any exposure,
that is, no house nearer than 80 feet, will
notice a big reduction. The largest re-
duction in the business portion Of town
will be found in block 3, due largely to
the splendid brick building being erected
by Frank Lish. If each block had two
Or three enterprising men like Frank
Lish the town would not be paying much

To Get Teddy.

Medora, June PIT is the idea of
some enthusiastic republican stockmen
at Medora to form a Billings County Re-
publican club and under its auspices try
and get Roosevelt to visit the state dur
ing the coming campaign. Governor
Roosevelt owned a ranch at Medora and
has a warm spot in his heart for the place
and it is believed under an organized eff.
fort, and with an early invitation, MIR.
Roosevelt may be induced to visit North
Dakota. While his visit would be under
the auspices of the Billings county boys
one of the larger cities in the state would
be selected for him to speak in.

GRASS is THIN
And Grain Nil Out West-Enouqh Old Hay
To Help Out.

Fargo, June 23.-J. f. Phelan, who has
returned from a trip over the cattle
ranges, says: "The only good crop in
that country this year is wool, but that is
a good one and will sell for II to 20 cents.
The grain crop is nil. Grazing is good
and cattle and sheep are fat, excepting
where water is not available for drinking.
In my time l have never before seen the
country SO bare of grass of suf6cien,
stand to make hay. Those established
in the stock industry have enough old
hay left over to insure safety for the com
ing winter. Those who have been plung
ing and buying land and livestock
simply because they could borrow
money, and now have a lot of pilgrim
cattle or sheep on their hands, in event
of a hard winter, must face certain dis
aster. The theorizing of the Minnesota
professors about raising fodder crops anc
the marvellous bronze grass, to take the
place of the native grasses, is merely al
moonshine this year.

THE PLAGUE IN HONOLULU.
The Latest Adviccs From Hawaii Ne
gate Official SeuiaIs.

Surgeon General Sternberg reported yes
terday that he had received no additional
advice from Manila or Honolulu or the bu-
bonic situation. His last report from Hon
olulu was dated December 22, and stated
that the plague had been eradicated and
the quarantine raised. Press dispatches
from Honolulu dated January /, however,
state that the plague still exists there. and
that three cases were discovered on the
night of December rs and four cases were
reported December 81.
General Sternberg said that every pos
sib,e precauton is being taken TO prevent
the plague from spreading in Manila and
be confined to the native quarter where il
started.
Adviees received by the State Depart
ment give an account Of the plague in
Honolulu. Three of the deaths from the
plague were as follows: Ethel johnson,
aged II. at Iwilii: All Fong male Chinese
aged q, at Palawa; Chong Mon Dow, male
Chinese, aged "a, at Pala Ta. All OF the
bodies were cremated. Il the case of An

symptoms.
The report was dated December s6 and
showed that there was lack of harmony in
