and the gambling houses are run on
the same plan-they never close their
doors, nor stop their games. And the
mines never close down, except for re-
pairs, and the furnace fires of the
mills are ever burning.
The miners average 800 month
each, and more than half of them lose
the greater part of their earnings at
the gambling tables. Many of them
lose all, and then buy provisions for
their families at credit prices. Others
fail to pay their bills, and this ham,
pers trade. The gambling houses are
not only detriment to the miners,
but also to the merchants, because the
gambling mania makes collections
slow and uncertain. Some of the min
ers gamble away their checks as soon
as received.
In some of the gambling houses 10
displayed the sign: Cheeks cashed
here" The checks for wages are
cashed with faro checks, and the
miner loses them before leaving the
table. Before entering the gambling
den the miner cashes his check at a
counter where sits hawklike fellow,
something like pasvnbroker. He
knows that the greater part of it will
never return-that the miner will
perhaps leave empty-handed.
There are AZ gambling tables in the
city, most of them located in saloons,
so as to bring custom into the bar
rooms, and the reverse. Some of the
saloons have three or four tables-a
variety of faro, roulette and keno. In
some of the low resorts, run for ne
groes, are "crap" games, for the ne
gro is more at home at that game than
any other. The free zone known as
Poverty Gulch' is set apart for the
negro element, and it has motifs coun-
terpart for wickedness in the United
States-the slums of New York and the

PORK AS SEEN IN HISTORY.
Many Contentious Have Arisen Over
the Use of POrcine Flesh
aS Food.

The hog of to-day constitutes no less
than $40 different articles of com
merce, and next to cotton and wheat
furnishes the largest values in exports
from the United States. It's name has
become an epithet. Its application to
man means greed and brutishness. II
is commonly supposed to be q scaven-
ger, like the puddle duck. Il takes
mud baths. So do men, says the New
York Press. There is much virtue in
mud. The hog bathes in pools Of It
to coat his skin against the attacks Of
insects; man dips his festered hide in
it to improve his circulation and draw
out his gout and rheumatism. The
hog is pachydermatous; SO Is man
notwithstanding Cuvier's classifica-
ton. have seen men, know men to-
day, with skins thicker than the hide
of the rhinoceros. The hog is omniy-
orous-so is man. The hog is carniv-
orous by choice-so is man. The hog
is herbivorous, granivorous, gramniv-
orous and phytivorous by education
SO is man.
These reflections are induced By the
indignities offered useful animal.
The hog was the cleanest Of beasts
until man built sty and imprisoned
him in filth, fattened him on filth,
killed him in filth and ate him in filth.
No animal, wild or domestic, Is so
clean about its bed as the hog. II
wants pure, sweet, fresh straw every
time. The hog has brains. 1t has
been known to excel the pointer in
scenting quail. An authentic instance
is mentioned by Bingley in Memoirs
of British Quadrupeds" OF q keen
scented sow that would stand at birds
which the dogs had missed. Whoever
heard of an educated - or sheep?
Yet we have had on our stage edu-
Gated hogs that could spell and play
cards. count and tell the time. Hogs
make docile pets. Many poor family
has its pet pig sleeping on the pallet
beside the children, privileged to the
best in the house.
The hog caused the biggest mutiny
ever known in the history Of the world,
and was responsible for men being
blown from the muzZles of cannons.
When Great Britain shipped car
tridges TO India for the native troops
she reckoned without her host, for
the ammunition was creased with
| lard, which SO offended the religious
saruples Of the sepoys that they arose
as one man in rebellion. The Ameri-s
can hog nearly caused war between
| Germany and the United States, and
only the diplomacy of Whitelaw Reid
| obtained for the animal admission in
| to France.
Moses and Mohammed were opposed
TO the hog because, while it divides
| the hoof and is cloven-footed. yet it
chews not the cud. The camel is not
eaten for opposite reasons--it chews
the cud, but is not cloven-footed. The
hare is also unclean, because while it
chews the cud 1t divides not the hoof.
All civilized nations have passed and
repassed laws governing what a man
shall eat and how much it shall cost
him, but the only sumptuary measure
that ever stood the test of time is the
law of Moses concerning the hog. II

1t Is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival Of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor IN, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,

since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand

MUCH CRY.

AND LITTLE WOOL IN THE ALAS
KAN REPORTS WHAT IS SAID
i AT WASHINGTON. S
Washington, Sept. lift is stated
at the department of justice today that
no information has been received from
Alaska of an alleged political conspir-
lacy in which Judge Noyes and Alex
iander Mckenzie are involved. On
the contrary, the reports recently re-
5ceived are. extremely omplimentary
to Judge Moves and are to the effect
that his administration of his high
office has been most. satisfactory.
Neither has anything been received
from Attorney Braslin in the nature
of charges against Judge Noyes in his
nistration of affairs in the Nome
district. II Nh
1t is also stated that since the gold
discoveries were made in Alaska, two
or three years ago, there has been
more or less dissatisfaction on the part
of defeated litigants for mining claims.
1T has often been necessary Ito send ex-
saminers to the territory to investi gate
irregularities; but nothing seriously
wrong has vet been discovered. The
belief is expressed that the Braslan
case is similar to others that have oc-
Cured each year since 1898. 3s]

At WILTON.
Items Of News from Wilton and the
Country Tributary to that
Place.
Threshing in Progress and Results
Somewhat Better than
Expected.
(From the Wilton News.)

Hanson 4 Thor, the old time Bur-
leigh county threshers, started up
Thursday morning at William Asp
lund's, just south of Slaughter. The
grain in that neighborhood is turning
out well. Many fields will yield from
20 to % bushels per acre.
Threshing commenced on the Wash
burn farm at this place last Monday
morning The oats turned out little
better than 35 bushels to the acre,
while the wheat averaged a fraction
over fifteen bushels. .
Charlie, the little son of Jake Kilian,
who has been confined to the hospital
at Bismarck from injuries received by
the explosion of a cartridge, his re-
turned home. It was thought his eye
sight would be impaired, but this was
averted by prompt and skillful medi-
cal treatment
Frank Little is threshing in Crofte
township, having started up this week.
The yield in that vicinity is far exceed
ing expectations and the result is that
during the fall and early winter
months considerable wheat will be
hauled to Wilton or Baldwin.
Sheriff Allen Mcdonald arrived from
Washburn Wednesday. He was ON
his way to Jamestown with Mrs. VIM.
Reuter- of Turtle Lake, who is a victim
of mental arrangement 1t is a sad
case, indeed, this being her third trip
to the state hospital.
County Auditor Schallern of Man
dan arrived here by special train Sat
| urday evening with a steam threshing
rig and started up Monday. The
steamer burns Ignite from the mines
near here and no difficulty is exper-
fenced in keeping a full head of steam
on while stationary, and when on the
road, we are informed, that the addi-
tional draft is so great that the engin-
eer occasionally sees fit to hang mig
GER on the safety valve. This is the
first Ignite burner that has operated
near this place, and it is not at all un-.
likely but that in the near future lig-
mite will replace straw burners while
the straw can be used to better advan-
tage for stock during the winter
months.

THE ITINERARY.
Intinerary Of the Roosevelt Party
Through the State Of North
Dakota Saturday.
Special Train Will Garry the Distin-
guished New Yorker from
Fargo West.
Governor Roosevelt Will be in the City
Until Sunday Morning, then go
West.

When it was discovered that the ma
tional committee had made no proyi-
slons for a special train for the Roose-
velt party Chairman Bulge and Secre-
tary Jewell Of the state committee
went to St. Paul and as a result spe-
cial has been secured to take the party
from Fargo west. Senator Carter of
Montana will join the party at Fargo
and will be one of the speakers Fri
day night. Senator Nelson will also
be at the Fargo meeting Senator
Hansbrough and Senator McCumber
will meet the Roosevel. party at Aber-
deem and accompany them through the
state. McCumber will leave the party
at Jamestown in order to be present at
a grand rally to be held Saturday
evening. The itinerary of the special
from Fargo is as follows: Leave Far
go about a. m. Saturday. Arrive at
Valley City about 8, where stop of
an hour will be made. Arrive at
jamestown about noon where another
ovation will greet the trough rider"
Brief stops will be made at Steele and
other points enroute to Bismarck
where an evening meeting is to be held
at the Atheneum. d "A special train
will be provided between Mandan and
Bismarck and special rates will be
given on the Northern Pacific from all
points tributary to Valley City, James
town and Bismarck. A rate of one
fare and a third for the round trip
will be made from points as far west
as Dickinson to Bismarck-tickets
good until following day. 1t is ex-
pected that many will take advantage
of these rates to hear Mr.. Roosevelt
and Senator Carter as the following
day being Sunday it is not likely THE
residents of the towns west of Bis
marck will have an opportunity to
hear any speaking. Brief stops will
be made, however, at Mandan, Dickin-
son and .Medora Going west from
Bismarck the special will leave Bis
marck Sunday morning. The Bis
marck band will go to Valley City Fri
day afternoon and join the Roosevelt
special there Saturday morning. Com
mittees from Valley City, jamestown
and Bismarck will doubtless go to
Fargo Friday to meet Mr.. Roosevelt.
On the way to Fargo from Aberdeen
stop will be made at Wahpeton in
the afternoon to permit Mr. Roosevelt
to talk to the people of Richland
county. h.

FOR HER SAKE"

The For Her Sake company gave
a very pleasing performance at the
iAtheneum last night. A fair audience
was in attendance The play is one
of the best that has been seen in the
city in a long time. The plot is
woven about Russian social and polit-
lcal customs, and is well carried out
by a. cast of competent actors and ac-
,tresses. Such characters as Prince
Valdemar, the Princess Redetsky, Olga.
Gregorievitch and the old Russian
General Rufentoff are far above the
ordinary in ability. Some very pretty
and touching scenes were depicted, in
delineating the love Of Valdemar for
the serf girl, Olga, and the web of Rus
sian intrigue and customs that keeps
them apart until on the road to Si-
IBERIA they are finally united. There
is a touch of melodrama in the play,
but just enough to maintain the inter-
estt. The company should .,e thor
oughly successful, with so excellent a
play and a company amply able to
bring out what is good.
