ANIMALS OF PAST AGES.
Prof. Briggs Of Columbian Mus
cum Lectured Last Night
to a Select Audience.

Last night in the old hall OF the
Knights Of Pythias q select gathering
assembled to listen to lecture by Prot.
E. 8. Briggs, Of the Field Columbian
museum OF Chicago, who is now carrying
on Investigations in the territory to the
south OF tho Gunnison river to 6nd the
remains of Saurians.
Prof. Briggs consented to deliver the
lecture to small gathering at the re-
quest OF Dr. 8. Nj. Bradbury, who has
taken quite an interest 10 the discovery
OF emaing Of extinct animal life hsrea-
bouts and at whose instance the Field
Columbian museum sent Prof. Briggs
into this section.
Prof. Briggs illustrated his lecture by
means Of slides made from photographs
taken in their field work. He devoted
his lecture and the illustrations princi-
pally to the Dinosaurs. a species OF Saur-
ian, OF reptilian mould and which were
hefbiverous and carnivorous and were OF
land and aquatic life.
The principal place Of the discovery of
the remains OF Dinosaurs. as stated by
Prof. Briggs and illustrated extensively
by maps. Is in Wyoming and in the
bad lands Of South Dakota. The Sec
tions Of country from which these gigan-
tic remains are taken, were shown by
tho maps.
Avery definite idea was cleaned by
the audience OF the manner of hunting
for these quarries a. they are dsnomi
mated and also the manner OF securing.
preparing for shipment and mounting OF
the giant specimens.
After giving 10 extenso the habits OF
life. the period and the condition Of the
earth at the time the Dinosaurs lived,
he turned his attention to the animals OF
the tertiary period. These he followed
extensively and the audience was
brought right in touch with the evolu-
t,on Of the animals OF that period, which
to degree were the ancestors OF some Of
our animals OF today.
Possibly the most interesting part Of
his lecture was that part which illustrat-
cd the mode of work to secure these big
remains.
Tho museums Of the country are am
biti to get the largest and best re-
mains Of all animal life. especially the
larger varieties extinct, and to do this
they send their emissaries into the coun-
try which has been discovered contains
the remains and they spare no expense
whatever to secure them.
It is certainly wonderful the almost
exact manner OF the reproduction OF
thsae skeletons in the museums. Prof.
BrigSa gave evidence Of his abundant
technical knowledge OF the period Of ex-
is'ence. location of remains in rock
strata, causes leading to these wonderful
quarries Of bones and all other matters
appertaining thereto.
Prof. Brizgs 10 quiet in his manner,
but gives abundant evidence of large
fund Of the most technical informa ton
upon the lines OF study leading up to the
animal life Of ages that are past.
The audience was highly pleased with
the lecture throughout, and attestsd to
same by liberal applause at its conclu-
sion.
Judge Caswell on behalf Of the audi
ence thanked the professor for his de-
lightful and instructive talk.

KING WILL STAY.
Supreme Court Refuses to Grant Writ
of Habeas Corpus for Joe King.
Colored Convict.

Joe King will have to serve his time
in the pen. The supreme court, as
stated a day or SO ago, denied the Pc
tition of his attorneys for a writ of
habeas corpus. Kind was the pris-
oner who escaped some time ago,
swiped a gun and terrorized the resi-
dents of the vicinity of Sterling for a
night OF two.
King was tried something more than
a year ago charged with attempting to
commit the crime of sodomy. Mr.. Cole
defended him, and after conviction he
was sentenced to serve five years in
the ~penitentiary. The contention of
his counsel was that he could moi be
sentenced to the pen at all and to
serve not more than one year in the
county Jail. The statute governing
the crime of sodomy itself says, that
the person who is convicted shall be
punished "by Imprisonment in the
~penitentiary not less than one and not
exceeding ten years or in the county
jail not more than one year."
The statute furnishing attempts has
four subdivisions, the first, under
which Judge Pollock sentenced King,
reads as follows: IF the offense so
attempted is punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for four
years or more, or by imprisonment in
the county Jail, the person guilty of
such attempt is punishable in the pen
itentiary or in a county Jail, as the
case may be, for a term not exceeding
C:le-half of the longest term of i'm
rrisonment prescribed upon a convic-
ton for the offense so attempted"
SO. If the offense so attempted is
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for any time less than
four years, the person guilty of suNh
attempt is punishable by imprison-
ment in a county Jail for not more
than one year."
The contention of Cole & Johnson
was that the offense attempted is not
punishable for -four years or more ,
inasmuch as it may be punished by
from one year and upward in the pen
i%tentiary, or, not exceeding one year
in thec county Jail, and that subdivision
two provides for not more than one
year in county Jail if the crime at
tempted is punishable by 'any time
less than four years in the pen;ten-
tiary," and that the crime attempted
was, and is punishable by a time less
than four years, and under the rule Of
construction of criminal law, tina:
King should have been sentenced un-
der subdivision two.
The supreme court sustained Judge
Pollock's sentence.

POST BUILDINGS.
Major Robertson Tells a St. Paul
Newspaperman of Them.

Pioneer fress: There will BIZ
model barracks at Bismarck's new
post declared last night Major f. B
Robertson, of the Fifteenth infantry
U. S. A., speaking ut the Hotel Ryar
to a reporter. And Major Robertson
should know. Since last September
he has supervised the construction Of
Fort Lincoln's successor. We have
completed two buildings he contin.
ued. "One will accommodate the en-.
listed men. The other will be mos,
convenient for two sets of officers. The
soldiers Will think sometimes tina,
they are guests of a first class hotel
so elaborate will be the heating ap-
paratus, the bath rooms of the bar
racks. But the country says that
there is nothing toe good for the men
behind the gun.
OF course, we haven't any men up
there Yet. nor any guns. But they're
both coming. | imagine, however.
that We shall need some more build
ings before the men arrive. We
ought to have some s~torehouses, of
course, some stables. a hospital, and
the like. All these must be added.
But as yet we have expended only one
appropriation-for $4,000. The rifle
range is Il good one, even if it is sew
eral miles from the post proper"
And to think" added a local army
man, who had come to welcome his
brother officer, ito think that Fort
Abraham Lincoln, only a few miles
from this new post, was declared I'M
necessary a short time ago., and was
actually abandoned. Yet Lincoln was
a great post in it's day. With some
modern improvements it would have
been a fine post yet.
But it's a queer story-the rise and
fall and resurrection of so many mill
tary posts out west. At first the post
is Il stern military necessity. The
white settlers must have protection.
And that demand is genuine. So the
post is built. Some thousands of
acres of public land are set aside as a
military reservation. But after a while
as the country settles up and the land
grows more valuable, a protest is
heard against the posts existence.
There's no Indians! There's no dan
ger! Nobody's afraid! Abolish the
useless expenses! The post is abol-
lshed. The reservation is all sold. |
Aio dAICI d yedi VI tWO comes the
suggestion tnat after all a post is
needed there for strategic reasons. Not
account of Indians, but because of
lofty considerations of military STRAIT
egy and of administrative economy.
Then SOM of that land already sold
is bought back again at a tremendous
increase in price, and a bran new post
is established with bran new buildings
and bran new contracts. Take our
own Smelling, for example. Originally
it had a reservation of 1000 acres.
First 1000 acres were sold, then more
and more acres until now only 1900
and something are left. 1t was said
once that the post ought to be abol-
ished altogether. But the latest
scheme is to make it a grand central
distributing station, put up a lot of
new buildings and distribute a fine
lot of new appropriations"

A Liberal Offer.

Inc Northwestern newspaper which is
conceded the largest circulation is the
Minneapolis Tribune. As an all round
purveyor of information and entertaining
reading its popularity is the best proof of
its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the citv
people the Twice-a-Week edition of the
same publication, the Farmers Tribune.
is to that great majority of the people of
the state who are too busy to read a
daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Tribune.
is, to all intents and purposes, the farm
ers daily. 1t is a condensation of the
news for the three days preceding the
date of publication and it contains the
very latest news up to the hour of going
to press.
The Farmers Tribune does not nra.
sumo to take the place of the home
weekly, but it supplies the place lust
outside of the sphere of the home paner.
and in this capacity it is Of the highest
value to a large majority of the people of
the northwest,
The Bismarck Tribune has made ar
rangements with the publishers of The
Farmers Weekly whereby it is enabled
to make the most liberal and astonishing
offer We eve made.
1t you are now a subscriber for the
tribune we will send you The Farmers
Tribune (twice-a-week) with your paid.
ln-advance renewal of subscription =
the paper. You thus get the two papers
tor sl.25. No stronger i@nducement
could be offered.
Inc same offer is also extended to new
subscribers.
Do not delay taking advantage Of this
o1er. It will not be continued lone.
Q cannot afford to let this splendid
opportunity slip by. Send in vo,,r auh-
scription to the Bismarck Tribnna snd
get with it The Farmers Twice.auW se&

Goddess of liberty
Hear me a cryin'.
Hear me addressin' thee,
Me and Bill Bryan,
Guard our constitutional rights,
Learn us to trust them,
Watch the republicans
Don't let them. bust them.
That's a fine start and the other
poems in the bunch are as good as
that n if not worse. This is one
that Elias styles one of his "best
licks:"
Oh Washington and Jefferson
And Andrew Jackson too,
If you had this country to run
Tell me what you would do,
Though to the e%verlastin' dust
Your flesh and bones hez rot,

HALT! HALT!
The Filipinos' lovely lie
Is all sloshed up with blood,
The banners of their liberties
Is tromped down in the mud,
The blood that our soldier boys
Over there hev shed,
Although $4,000 miles away
Is upon our own head!
CALL OFF THE DOGS!
Call off the dogs, the dogs of war
Don't let them bark no more, no more
Are we a nation Of greedy hogs,
Ii not, let rs call off the dogs.
BUSTED PLEDGES!
Oh shame. we promised to ~civilize
These people that we call our wards

Nothing but
Lager beer and playing cards.
