county. The association then listened
to an address on "Drouth Resisting
Forage Plants" by Prof. d. A. Saun-
ders OF the experiment station. In
his remarks the professor said that in
all the experiments thus far made the
bronze grass, Turkestan alfalfa, and
the Australian salt bush we're the
most valuable as drouth resisting
plants and also that for feed they
ranked with the best. This address
was followed by an interesting paper
on the subject Of Feeding and Mar
keting Sheep" by Frank Sherwin, Of
this city, one of the most successful
sheep feeders In the state Of South
Dakota.
The evening session was taken up
by a reception to the visitors by the
faculty of the state Agricultural col
lege and citizens of Brookings. The
address OF welcome by Mayor Math-
ews and the response by S. K. Wilson,
on the part of the association, were
delivered In the college chapel and
were preceded by piano duet. The
company then adjourned to the drill
hall Of the gymnasium, where the
banquet had been spread by the
ladies OF the Presbyterian church.
We want to say right here that it was
the finest spread that we have ever
seen made in this city and the ladies
were the recipients Of many fine COM
pliments for the appearance Of the
tables and the abundance of delica.
cies spread before their guests. The
college mandolin orchestra was pres
ent and furnished delightful music
for the occasion and were the recip-
tents of generous applause from every
side. After supper an excellent pro-
gram of t0asts we're responded to and
for nearly two hours wit and wisdom
flowed from the mouths of the i'm.
promptu orators. A considerable
now OF eloQuence and many brilliant
sallies were INDUCED in, much to the
edification Of the assembled guests.

dress dwelt chiefly upon the growth of
the association and the sheep indus
try. He showed that In spite of the
present prosperous condition of the
industry and the fact that the num-
ber Of sheep In the country was In
creasing rapidly, there was still a
chance for good growth before reach
ing that condition when sheep and
wool would be drug on the market
and there was likely to be decline In
the markets of the world. The ad-
dress was good and well received by
the association.
The presidents address was fol-
lowed by an able paper on "Sheep
Growing Under Range Conditions"
by Hon. Dugald Campbell, president
Of the North Dakota Sheep Breeders
association. This paper abounded In
good wholesome experience and some
fine Scotch wit, both of which were
greatly enjoyed. Mr.. Greeley not be-
ing present, Prof. ]. I'll. Shepard. d.
rector Of the experiment station,
talked to the association for about an
hour, taking for his subject the sub
station at Highmore. The professor
gave history Of the manner In which
1t was secured and the purposes for
which 1t was established; that 1t had
hardly yet begun to bear fruit and
that in time 1t would prove OF inesti-
mable value In demonstrating what
forage plants could be successfully
grown in semi-arid districts.
The afternoon session was opened
by the election Of officers. 4. L.

elected president by acclamation. W..

Raglan Soft Shirts

More of those fine Scotch
madras, $I.5o-as good ma
dras as other stores put in their
81 shirts.
The raglan is the coolest
and most comfortable hot
weather shirt going.
AS soon ,as you put it on
you feel the difference. 1t fits
everywhere-over the should
ers, under the arms, around
the neck.
Maybe making them in our
own factory has something to
do with it. And it's probably
true that if you haven't worn
any of our own made shirts
you would feel the same REL
lief in putting on oneithat is
not a raglan. Our regular
customers know that delight
but the raglan's better yet.

Lannis w. Hizar, Formerly of this City,
Writes an Interesting Letter.
Lannis W. Hizar, formerly of this
city, who is in the Philippines making
a research into the mining and hard
wood lumber business, has written an
interesting letter to Charles A. Ru-
doph. Fifteen years ago Mr.. Hizar
left Wilmington. and since then has
travelled considerably. He returned
from the Klondike region In April last,
when Mr.. Rudolph met him in Seattle
Washington. They recognized each
other, and had long chat, during
which Mr.. Hizar inquired about Will
miugton, and related his interesting
experiences in the Klondike.<
At that time he was preparing to go to
Manila to seek information about min
ing and hard woods. His letter states
| that IN his opinion there is much gold,
silver aud copper ore in certain parts Of
| the Philippines, knowledge Of which II
| possessed by the Spanish, but the land
could not be mined because Of the hos
tility OF the natives. There is wealth
OF the finest hard woods in the islands
for which ready market could be found
IN Manila, China and Japan, especial,
1 in the manufacture Of pianos, othel
| musical instruments and furniture, thu
most of which now Is imported /,
those plaoss. Business in all lines il
excellent in Manila, he says, ant
there is an extensive field for energetic
| men with capital.

Severe Storms.
THE WORST FOR SEVERAL YEARS
Marion c. Leonard and Walter
Elliott Hurt.


Salisbury, Nd, July 25. "A series Of
terrific electric storms passed over
Salisbury yesterday afternoon, accom-.
panied by downpour of rain. The
storm was the most severe 10 several
years.
Marion g. Leonard, a Salisbury mer
chant, was walking down Camden
avenue on his way to his store, when
he was knocked senseless by lightning
in front Of the Williams & Co. lumber
mills. When found. by Stephen Toad.
vine, about o'clock, Mr.. Leonard was
lying on the pavement with pool Of
blood about his head How long he
had been there u not known. Help
was called, and the unconscious man
WINS taken across the street to l.. e.
| Williams g. Go. g office and Drs. Slemens
and Morris were summoned. For a
few minutes 1t was thought life was
| extinct, but after several minutes OF
hard work signs Of life wera apparent.
Mr.. Leonard was removed to his home
and is lying in critical condition.
There were no marks on the body and
the only injury Is the CIT on the back
Of bis head, which Is supposed to have
been caused by falling upon the brick
pavement.
Another serious accident happened
in California, at the western extremity
of Salisbury. A tree in the yard o.
jerome Tubbs was struck by lightning,
which ran from the tree to the fron'
window of the house. completely de
molishing the window. The electric
current passed through the house an6
tore up the back door, finally grounding

On its way through the house Walte

Today the mail arrived from the
States, ard we ware delighted to re-
ceive package of Every Evenings,
which are Just as welcome as gold dol
lars and as we read them over, we
thought we would drop you few lines
to let you know of the hardships
soldier has In these uncivilized islands.
We have been here just 10 months, and
that is just ID months too much.
It is so hot here that traffic among
the natives Is abandoned Hardly any
one is on the street until shutdown !;
then there is everybody that you could
mention. For the last month the
natives have had parades in honor Of
Santa Cruz; they call it their Hal
lowe en- Before they start on their
parade they smoke their cigarettes and
chew their beetlenut; then they biacken
up about dozen native boys with
SCOT from an old kettle. These little
boys carry bows and arrows and have
about enough clothes on to dress a
fiddle Then comes the senoritas, who
carry candles, while in the rear is an
orchestra composed Of several violins, a
bass drum and couple of tin whistles.
The music sounds like the serenade the
small boy gives the newly married
couple at home There arc about 10 OF
these parades every night and we don I
know what we will do for fun from
now on, as the last one takes PLACE
tonight
The Peace Commission arrived last
night aud we thought We were going to
have trouble. The guard was doubled,
but no outbreak occurred. An out.
break has been expected for some time,
but since the boys killed a few OF thu
natives things have been quite differ
ent. Sentries are sometimes felled by
bolos. On Decoration Day we LOST
seven Of our boys. They certainly /. dc
take advantage of holiday. One of thu
uniortunates was found with his heac
cut off and his mouth filed with dir
and sticks. The rainy season ha:
| ,opened apd ! think We will have ,
pretty hard time.

morning that "Aggie'' was killed, bu
there is no truth in it, for he ia a YER,

The general movement among nations
for the adoption of the single gold
standard began about 1870 texcert in
the case of England, which took this
action in 1876. Since that time all
the nations Of the world, excepting
Mexico, China, Korea, Siam, Persia
and some of the smaller republics of
Central and South America, have
adopted the single gold standard. Re-
cent statements indicate that China is
pushing for the introduction of the
gold standard in her customs service.
This. II accomplished, will doubtless
be the initial step toward similar action
with reference to the currency of that
country. Consular statements, recently
published, indicate that Siam is pre-.
pairing to adopt the single gold stand.
ard. Even In the short four years since
the campaign CT 1896, the gold standard
has been adopted in Japan, with 9
population Of 10000, 600; Russia, with
population of 1875, OOO, coo; India, with
population of 300, 900, 600, and severa

At the State election In North Caro-
lima on Thursday, August I'd, the people
will vote upon an amendment to the
State Constitution providing as follows;
EVERY person presenting himself for
registration shall be able to read and
write any section Of the Constitution
in the English language Before he
shall be entitled to vote he shall have
paid, ION or before the LIST day Of May OF
the year in which he proposes to vote,
his poll tax for the previous year. But
no male person who was, on january
LIST, 1867, OF at any time prior thereto,
entitled to vote under the laws OF any
State Of the United States wherein he
then resided, and no lineal descendant
of any such person shall be denied the
| right to register and vote at any cleo
tion In this State by reason of his fail
ure to possess the educational qualifi-
cations here described. ?"
No attempt is made to disguise the
fact that the real intent Of this amend
ment is to disfranchise the ignorant
colored vote of tho State, which, when
made fully available, is of sufficient
numbers to carry the election for the
Republican party. And it is also a
fact that many white Republicans, as
well IS all the Democrats, will vote in
favor of the amendment. They reoog.
niza the danger Of large ignorant
vote, and are willing to forego all the
possibilities Of partisan advantage that
may attach to such vote, in order tc
avoid the danger that it threatens.
A similar amendment was recently
adopted 10 Louisiana, State in which
there are more negroes of voting age
than qualified white voters The result
there was to largely disfranchise tht
negroes, which is tho result aimed ID
in North Carolina. Other Southeir
States With large negro population arr
also considering the question, with |
like end in view.
The new Constitution OF Delawar,
provides that, beginning with Januar.
LIST, 1900, no person arriving at tn
voting age shall be permitted to vot
unless he shall be able to read tn,
Constitution of the United States il
the. English language and write hi
! name. This provision, however, doe
not disfranchise the illiterate vote tina
was qualified at the time the Consti
tuition was adopted. 1t only applies t
those becoming voters this year an
! hereafter

As a consequence, the gold in exist
ence today, accepting the statistics of
such eminent statisticians as Tooke,
Newmarch and MulhaIl,' and adding to
these the later statements of the ri
rector Of the Mint, is more than tire Q
times as great as in 1850. During that
time the population has increased go
per cent, being, according to equally
eminent statisticians, LOIS, 900, 600 in
1850, and 1900, 600, 600 at the present
time. This would give twice AS much
gold for each person today as 10 1850.
In addition to this, however, Mulhsll
shows that two-thirds of the gold Of
the world today is coined and used as
money, while in 1850 only one third Of
the gold was coined, This again doubles
the amount of gold money, making,
therefore, more than four times a.
much gold currency for each individual
iI the world today as in 1850.
