Still More Counterfeitinq.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity Of bogus bills, which are
so cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things OF great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for i'm
%tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has so many
imitators but no equals for indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters sets
things right in the stomach, and when
the stomach is in good order it makes
good blood and plenty OF it. In this
manner the Bitters get at the seat oil
strength and vitality, and restore vigor tc
the weak aed debiliated. Beware OIL
counterfeits when buying.

Relics of SulIy's Expedition.

John Hartinger has a sword blade
which was found in the timber at Kildeer
mountain which is supposed to have been
lost by an officer of Sully's expedition
that passed through this section in 81.
Sully's men, it will be remembered, were
the first U. S. soldiers to go through the
Bad Lands. They had a brush with the
Indians at Kildeer where five or six OF
their men fell and are now sleeping in
unmarked graves. There are some OF
the cannon balls around kildeer that
we're used in dispensing Indians. A. T,
Crowl of Dickinson, who fought the In.
dams in Minnesota, was with Sully's ex,
petition and was standing close to the
famous Indian guide at the time he was
shot through the body. The guide raj.
lied from his wound and was able tc
pilot the soldiers through the Bad Lands
Notwithstanding that the enemy had sent
| him word that no white men could pass
| this country alive.

FARGO has been claiming a pop
nlation of $4,000, but from the
tone of the press of that city it is
evident that the census figures,
soon to be made public, will show
a population of less than 10000.
The Forum, for example, is pre-
pairing the public for the official
announcement by saying that a
proper enumeration would prob
ably have shown Fargo's popula-
ton to be $4,000, but as the bust
ness men took no special interest
IN the appointment of enumera.
tors and the work there is likely
to be much disappointment when
the figures are given out.

Col. LoUNsBERRY and partner,
W. r. Mumby, have started the
Buford Tribune, at Buford, Will
liams county, the first number ap-
pearing August "a. Buford is d.
rectly opposite the mouth of the
Yellowstone and embraces the
site OF the old historic Fort Union.
AS a considerable tract of the old
military reservation, now open for
settlement, lies in the forks of the
Yellowstone and Missouri rivers,
it is likely that Buford will build

A Pathetic Incident of the Pawn
shops In the Metropolis.
Sneaking into a small shop in an OBJ
scure and poverty ridden locality, the
man who event broke" at the races
was realizing on a superfluous article
of jewelly. A woman so poor and
pinched in feature, so marked with
care and desperation that it made him
feel sick to look at her, was holding
something under her shawl and wait
ing neryously until he should have fin
ished his transaction.
"Wait on her. She seems to be in a
hurry" he said to the man behind the
counter, and ut the word of permission
a carpenters plane was produced from
the shelter of the shawl.
GLOW much do you want?" queried
the unmoved pawnbroker monotonous-
ly.
Fifty cents" replied the woman,
with a gulping in her throat and an
eager look in her. eyes,. She clutched
the money tightly and ran into another
creature, poor as herself, but bearing
her troubles in duller fashion. She
had a baby's cloak, never costly. and
much worn, on which she wanted to
borrow money, the same sum as the
other woman had asked for.
The man who had been Offering a
diamond felt uncomfortable. "There,
give me $50. The stones worth four
times as much" And, seizing the mon
ey, he hurried after the woman who
had just left the shop. He was not
given to acts of charity, and he felt
awkward, the more so as the woman
shrank from him as he accosted her.

THIS week the Press publishes
the two constitutional amend
ments to be voted on this fall.
One Of them is for the creation of
a state board Of pardon to assume
the pardoning power at present
conferred solely upon the govern
or. The amendment proposes
to vest the power in a board con-
sisting of the governor. eh!ct JUS
tice of the supreme court and at
torney general. The other amend
ment is to permit the taxation of
telegraph and telephone lines, eN-
press and dining a companies.
1t makes it the duty of the state
board of equalization to assess
these companies and apportion
the valuation among the counties
as is at present done in the case
of railroads. Both measures
should carry and undoubtedly
they will.

! IRISH TURNS AND TWISTS.

The Unconscious HumOr That Crops
Out In the Greer Isle.
The author Of "Irish Life and Char
actcr" says truly that one has only
to mix with an Irish crowd to hear
many a laughable expression, quite in
nocently uttered. AS the Duke and
Duchess Of York were leaving Dublin
in 1897, amid enthusiastic cheering, an
old woman remarked:
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin, goin away?"
In 1892 Dublin university celebrated
its tercentenary, and crowds Of Wis
itors were attracted to the city. Two
laborers, rejoiced at the general pros
pcrity, expressed their feelings.
"Wcll Tim,' said one, "thim tar
cintinarics does Il dale for the thrade
of Dublin, and no mistake."
ooh, faix they do" said the other.
".And whin, with the blessin of God,
we get home rule, sure VIC a have as
nanny of thin as we phase"
An old woman, seeing a man pulling
a young calf roughly along the road,
e.ACldlIlcu.
ooh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate a fellow crather."
"Sure," said a laborcr to a young
lady who was urging him to send his
children to school, "Id do anything for
such a sweet, gintlemanly lady as
yourself"
Again, the laborers on a large estate
decided that it would be more con-
venient for them if they could be paid
every week instead of every fortnight.
One Of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement:
IF you please, sir, it's me desire,
and it is also livery other mans desire,
that we resave out fortnight's pay
livery week."
An exasperatcd sergeant, drilling a
squad of recruits, called to them at
last:
HALT" Just come over here, all Of
We, and look at yourselves. It's a fine
line ye're keepin, isn't it?"

Curious Mexican Laws.

They have some very curious crimi-
nal laws in Mexico. For instance, it is
twice as much Of an offense to mutt
late the face Of a woman as that of q
man. The law seems to be based on
the idea that a woman's best posses
sion is her beauty and that to mar it
does her a great injury.
There is another curious law. If q
person should be wounded in an en-.
counter, the punishment to the offend.
er is fixed by the number of days his
victim has to stay in the hospital OF
under a doctors care. A line is fixed
at 40 days i'll the way of a general divi'
sion. If the injured man occupies more
than 40 days in his recovery, the pen
atty doubles up.
