not know much which is of any real value except that war signals are. in the heavens. Previous to the outbreak of the Boer war they were denSely ignorant of everything that they should have known. They then assured the world that ten or fifteen thousand men would overrun the country in less than thirty days. Nearly thirty months have passed since then, upwards of twenty thousand men have been killed. disabled or died from disease. Ten times twenty thou sand soldiers have. been sent to South Africa, and the Boers are still capturing British commands and baffling every ef- fort to bring the war to an end Shall this disastrous chapter In British history be repeated in the far East during the year? That is the thought in every man s mind, although. of course, 1t finds no expression in the newspapers or any where else.
 The conviction that Russia is melting the Afghans to action is general, and in- tensifies the depression. We are endeav- bring to comfort ourselves by the refiec- ton that Russia has just now all the work she can well attend to in China and elsewhere. but this is by no means cer- tain. Russia has abundant resources, and without much inconvenience to herself she could be of tremendous service to the Afghans The advice and cooperation of the officers she could detail to act with the Afghan forces would supply what ever inexperience they may lack in fight ing European troops. What the condi- tion of our own Indian army is no one can tell, except from the official reports. and no one trusts them any more The truth Is that the men in command at the war office do not know their business, and are, therefore, incapable of building

A "oourt of claims has been appointed to consider the whole business, and be- fore 1t gets through will spend considera- ble of John Bulls hard-earned guineas in making the selections. Why any one should lie awake of nights striving for one of these badges of servility, even to a king, is incomprehensible to men of common sense.

The English aristocracy, how ever, is. as rule. insensible to either ridicule or shame-that Is, the great ma jority of its members. Most of them are cads of very low order.

KING EDWARD BECOMES
 A TERROR TO SOCIETY
New Ruler Sticke for the Triviaes of Imperial Etiquette Gloomy Situation on Afghan Frontier-War Office h.
 competency South Africa and India.
BY HENRY DEvEREAux.

London. August 6.-King Edward is the terror of society. Since his accession to the throne he has developed a mania for etiquette, court proprieties and formal- ties that border on the ridiculous, and is fast becoming intolerable by those who have to submit to his imperious domina- ton In this respect Affairs have come to such a pass that an invitation to Function where he is to be present is received with shudder. Refusal, unless in the case of sickness, is out of the question. The slightest breach of some absurd little rule throws him into ill., humor, and the unfortunate offender is the recipient by the next mail of letter of severe reproof by direction of his maj esty. He spares neither age nor sex. A dowager duchess, nearly old enough to be his mother, comes under the epistol- hry lash as quickly as a Clara de We're

Of twenty summers And then the thing becomes public gossip within forty-eight hours. This, of course, adds to the hu- initiation and heartburning. Some of the society papers have ventured on a little mild criticism, but without any ap- parent effect. Edward the Seventh is n firm believer In the doctrine that the King can do no wrong that he is the fountain of honor. and that, with the necessary distinction of rank, all must serve and wait. It is an open secret that Queen Alexandra has less freedom of ac- tion than the humblest woman in the Kingdom. The King and herself are only on formal speaking terms. and all her social movements are regulated by him. She is not allowed to have any will of her own. any voice in the pursuits. pleas ures or occupations in which she shall engage for a single day. The orders run in this fashion, Her Majesty Queen Alexandra. by direction of the King, will breakfast at o'clock lunch at 12,

Cfark-Parker Marriage.

The following 10 taken from the

Avery pleasant gathering took place
at the home of Mrs. Robbins last Thurs.
day evening when Mrs. Christenna Ma.
tilda Parker Of this city was married e
Mr.. Geo. c. Clark of Dickinson, N. d
Shortly after six o'clock to the strains ol
the wedding march, the bride and groom
entered the room and were met by the
officiating clergyman, Rev. F. c. Bliss OF
this city.
At the close of the ceremony a most
by the hostess of the evening, Mrs. Rob-
bins, in her inimitable way.
A very pleasing feature of the occa-
| sion was the serenade that was rendered
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark just before they left
on the train for Rhinelander to visit the
brides folks. About thirty of the young
people having secured the services of a
strolling minstrel, Prof. Allen by name,
suddenly appeared upon the scene, and
deluged the couple with songs and in
strumental music.
Mr.. Clark is a very successful ranch
nan of North Dakota, is we'll acquainted
with many OF the great western ranches,
and at one time was in the employ of
Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Clark through
a long residence in Amery, has gained a
host Of friends who wish her much joy
and prosperity in the future. The pres
ents received by them were very useful
and appropriate.
Mr.. Clark arrived in Dickinson on
Wednesday and received the congratu-
lations Of his friends, his marriage hav-
ing been a complete surprise to o OF
the boys. Mrs. Clark will arrive mex,
w.ek and in the meantime George will
find a suitable house for the winter. In
the spring Mr.. and Mrs. Clark will go to
| their ranch southwest of Dickinson.

The bureau of animal industry
at Washington is of the opinion
that the scare recently circulated
regarding the gradual diminution
of ranges and a consequent short
age in the supply of beef cattle, is
not we'll founded. There is at
present a decrease in the usual
quantity of beef for the reason
that the demand has been greater
and there has been a large export
trade. With prices on the up
grade. it is believed more ranch
men and small farmers will en-
gage in the cattle business, and
the supply will be gradually in
creased.
