Ii, as is reported may be done. Gov

and craftsmanship and appoint a repub-
iican to succeed Senator Davis, he
would earn credit for greater wisdom
than he has displayed before. The

Davis will hold office for a little ovcl
a month at best. a republican will
be elected to, succeed him and there
could be no party advantage in ap.

A T

Cavalier county shelters a man on
whose head the Canadian government
at one time placed 4 reward of $780,
900. He is Gabriel Dumont, one of
the ringleaders of the last Reil rebel
lion, in 1885. Dumont is said to have
been possessed of far more talent than
Rel as a strategist, and to have pos
sessed the confidence of the Canadian
~half-breeds to a great extent. Du-
mont, with a handful of breeds, worked
his way through the Canadian lines
and escaped into Montana. He is at
present living in the vicinity of Olga,
an inland town situated in the Penn
bina mountains, where he makes his
home with the breeds, all of whom
look upon him as a real Moses. Du-
mont has visited Winnipeg once since
the rebellion, but he returned without
having been identified. He goes armed
continually, expecting that an attempt
will be made on his life by friends of
some of the Canadian militia killed in
the rebellion. Nothing has been
heard Of the reward in late~years. The
Canadian government is satisfied that
Dumont does not care to take up his
residence on the Canadian side of the
border and that is sufficient.

a few years ago. BY the rings on the
tree outside of these cuts it is evident
Jnat the latter were made at least 10
years ago, when the tree was only
about eight inches in diameter. 1t
had required a growth Of some twenty
years to entirely cover the scar Of the
larger cut, after which there was a
growth of'some twelve inches in diam
eter, of solid wood. 1t is thought
that this tree was blazed by trappers
of the Hudson Bay Co., some seventy
years ago, the evidence of which has
been locked in the solid wood OF the
tree for half a century or more. The
section of the tree containing these
ancient X scars is on exhibition at
Uncle Dan Marsh's store.

The Northern Pacific Railway has
decided to substitute the telephone
for the present telegraph system of
the road and will build and equip long
distance telephone lines to take the
place of the telegraph wherever it is
deemed practicable.
The officials of the road believe that
most of the telegraphing that is now
done in connection with the business
OF the traffic department can be as
we'll, If not better, performed by tele-
phone. The plan is to place each sta
ton on a division in direct commune
cation with the division Headquarters
and the various division Headquarters
are to be connected with the general
Offices with long distance lines. In
this way much necessary information
OF Importance to the traffic and oper-
atlng departments which, on account
of the limitations of the teleeraph
system, must now be sent by mail, can
in the future be telephoned at once,
The advantage of this system is OBJ
vious. Telephones are now used quite
extensively and with marked success
on many of the eastern roads. The
Northern Pacific, however, is the first
OF the western roads to adopt this
system.

HANSBROUGH'S TRIBUTE
DAVIS

The death of Senator Davis involves
a great loss to the senate and to the
country, especially at this time, when
so many important questions relative
to u foreign relations are pending.
Senator Davis was a recognized au-
thority on international law, and
many of us looked to him for informa-
ton and guidance on this subject. His
opinions were always sound, and there
fore they were valuable. We of the
northwestern states felt an especial
pride in him, and to us his untimely
death is little less than a disaster. We
do not forget his efforts in our behalf
when we were struggling for statehood.
No man knew better than he of the alb
solute justice of our cause, and none
advocated it with better effect or
greater earnestness. 1t is to be re-
GREETED thai lie could not live to see
the success of u policy of expansion,
for he was among the strongest advo-
Gates Of it. In his late speeches and
writings will be found all the argu-
ments there is on the subject. He had
studied the oriental problem, as he
studied all great problems, beginning
at the beginning and pursuing the sub
ject to it's logical conclusions; and but
for his death the country, at the COM
ing session of congress, would have
been favored by him with a disquisi-
ton on the subject that would have
taken prominence as a classic in state
craft literature"

90 SLOW.
THAT is WHAT REPUBLICAN
PARTY LEADERS COUNSEL IN
THE WAY OF LEGISLATION.

THE WAY OF LEGISLATION.
The Washington Post has a sympo-
SUM of the views of republican sena-
tors on the question of legislation.
Nearly all OF them urge the wisdom
Of care and conservatism. The Post
says Of North Dakota's senator:
Senator Hansbrough also breaches
conservatism. The republican party
should not, and | believe it will not,
do anything of an eXtravagant nature"
he said yesterday. 1T has been pretty
we'll demonstrated that our party can
be trusted. There will be a number of
very important measures which the
party will feel Obliged to consider and
enact into laws. Some legislation
with respect to the army must be had.
We cannot. decrease our forces in the
Philippines until the bandits there are
cleaned out, until order is restored,
and the authority of the United States
is acknowledged. The people of this
country are not afraid OF a standing
army. and we are not in danger of i'm
perialism. This country has always
depended upon it's citizen soldiery for
defense under extraordinary circum-
stances and extraordinary conditions,
and there viii be no danger in this re-
spcet."
What are the prospects of the ship
ping bill?"
The shipping bill will probably DC
passed in some form. Whether the
bill now before the two houses is the
proper II remains to be seen, but
the people of this country are in favor
OF increasing W. merchant marines
and making it possible for American
SHIPS to carry the enormous quantities
of our surplus products to foreign
lands.
"The Republican management" con-
tinued Mr.. Hansbrough. lis not going
to lose sight of the fact that our great
majority came from the agricultural
communities of the country. We feel
that we W something to the farmers,
because that is where the republican
party has always been strong. In this
connection l have no doubt that in ad-
dition to increasing shipping facilities
to carry Il produce across the seas,
we will pass the Grout bill so as to en-.
courage the domestic dairymen."
"HOw about the canal billy"
The people of the middle west"
was the reply, "are not demanding the
passage of the Nicaragua canal bill,
although there is a very friendly feel
ing in favor of the measure. The con-
viction seems to have settled down
upon the country that there should be
a canal connecting the two oceans.
Vhe question whether our treaty rela-
tons with Great Britain stand in the
way of the construction of this canal
has given rise to a variety of opin-
ions among leading statesmen who
are thoroughly versed in international
law, SO that the subject is one for dis
cussion, and one which, l have no
doubt, will be thoroughly discussed at
this session of congress. I think,
however, that the canal bill will be
passed before we adjourn"

The Mandan Times says that the
members of the volunteer fire depart
ments of the state will be particularly
grateful at the election to the legisla-
ture of H. l.. Reade, of Bismarck, Sec
rotary of the state firemen's associa-
ton. Read has held the office of
secretary for several years and largely
through his efforts the association
has grown and p%rospered till it takes
in nearly every organized department
in the state. If there is any legisla-
ton that the firemen want it will find
in Mr. Reade an able and earnest adj
vOcate. "

Minneapolis has a sensational muir
DER case. A woman, wine, and two
thoughtleSs and careless young men
were concerned. One of the men lies
dead. from a murderous blow. The
other is in Jail, held to answer for the
crime. The woman's name is shielded
from publication, and there is an at
tempt from a number of persons con
cerned to hush the matter up and pre-
vent exposure of unpleasant and sala-
cious details. 1t is a too frequent
chapter of city life. There is a les
son in it for young men and for young
women. but how many will heed it?
ldleness and proaigacy will continue
to breed lntemperance, women will
continue to be temptresses and men
will go On killing themselves and
others. Inherited wealth is too fire.
Quently a serious handicap to a weak
minded man in the race for life's hon.
ors and distinctions.

push our goods into every market of
the world and sell them. The belief
is also gaining ground that the gov
eminent should also develop it's home
market for American products and
manufacturers. This it could do by
reclaiming the 75,0OO,00O acres Of
western arid land and settling them
with thousands Of Industrious home
builders. Eastern merchants are
more than willing to see such an I'M
dertaking. The west should take the
initiative.

A CURIOSITY

Lisbon Gazette: A tree curiosity
was recently discovered by NJ. E. Dye
on the Gates farm, six >mi4es southeast
OF Lisbon on the banks of the Shey-
enne where the river makes a sharp
bend. The tree was an elm about
t~wenty-four inches in diameter and
was cut down by Dye for wood. In
splitting one of the sections Mr.. Dye
discovered near the heart of the tree a
distinct blaze made by an axe, and a
few inches below are two smaller cuts,

THE WOMAN,S D

Grand Forks Herald: Considerable
interest is felt in this city in the out
come of the trial of Percy Baker which
will begin to day for the shooting of
Nettie Larson, and for this reason it
is pertinent to correct some Of the
umo that have been published from
time to time, that have no foundation
in fact. Miss Larson first met Baker
when he was running on the G. N. be-
tween Crookston and Fargo before she
secured her divorce from her former
husband. Baker represented to her
at that time that he was a single man,
and that she believed. for over two
years. When she discovered that he
had a wife and children she immedi-
ately tried to get rid of him, but he
was persistent in his attentions, which
grew more and more obnoxious to her,
and it was only his threats of violence
ii she refused to see him that kept
their acquaintance alive. 1t was
stated by Baker after the shooting
that he did not know why he had shot
her, as she had promised to marry
him as he requested. This was false,
as he shot her because she refused to
entertain such a proposal. 1t has
also been stated that Miss Larson
sympathized with Baker at this time.
This is also wrong. She will not ap-
pear against him because her physi-
clan forbids her to do 80. She says
she is not particular what becomes of
him SO that she is rid of him, and that
she has not the slightest sympathy for
him as he is not deserving of it in
any way. If he is set free she is
afraid of further violence and for this
reason site either wants him to receive
a penitentiary sentence or to leave the
country, she don't care which. This
information comes from a reliable
source.

NEW SCIENTIFIC PROCESS.

A PREPARATION DISCOVERED
THAT WILL DESTROY THE DAN
DRUFF GERM.
For some time it has been known
that dandruff is caused by a germ that
digs up the scalp into little white
flakes, and sapping the vitality of the
hair at the root, causes falling hair,
and, of course, finally badness. For
years there have been all kinds of hair
stlmulants and scalp tones on the
market, but there has been no per-
manent cure for dandruff until the dis
covery of a preparation called New
bros Herpicide, which destroys the
dandruff germ. Destroy the cause,
the effect will cease to exist. Kill
the dandruff germ and you'll have no
%dandruff, no itching scalp, no falling
hair.

The immense orders for new equip
ment Of all kinds which have been
placed by railway managers through
out the country show they have con-
fidence in the continuance of the pros
perity of recent years, in which the
railroads have participated to a large
extent. This year has been one of
remarkably heavy traffic and the earn
ings of many roads have been limited
only by their facilities for doing bus
mess. Every mandatory of engines
and cars in this country is working
overtime to fill orders that have ac-
cumulated.

it is nothing but a bundle of putrefac-

Editor Wilder has a kick on the
state press association. He says it
is too much of a republican club. The
fact of the matter is that there are
hardly enough fusion papers in the

even a spice of opposition. Perhaps
if Wilder would get into the republic
can fold-with Tuttle-he'd feel better
about it.
