The st. Pierre Horror.

Steamships arriving in New York
from the scenes of the recent fright
full destruction OF life in the West
Indies bring thrilling accounts of
scenes and incidents attending the
eruption and the search for the bod
les of the victims.
Two days after the eruption of
Mount Pelee, the steamship Horace,
with coffee from Brazil, stopped at
st. Lucia. One OF the officers des-
cribed the storm of ashes through
which they passed as like a severe
snowstorm with the thermometer at
100 degrees, Fahrenheit 1t hurt
our eyes and choked us, he contin-
ued, and the air was so filled with
the fine dust that we could not see
half a mile ahead. The most har-
rowing picture OF all l saw was Capt.
Freeman, who escaped with his ship,
the Roddam, from st. Pierre. AS
we saw him in st, Lucia he scarcely
looked like q man, he was burned
and SCARED so badly. He sat with
his arms supported on pillows, and
said to me jokingly that there was
not enough flesh on one of his arms
to bait a fishhook. "
On the 18th, U. S. officers search
ing in the ruins of St. Pierre for the
body of Consul Prentiss we're Gov

AlchOhOl Not q Food.

The following, on this much-dis-
cussed subject, is from the Medical
Record:
THE well-known Viennese clint
clan, Prof. Max Kassowitz, asserts
that the.dogma concerning the nour-
ishing and strengthening character
of alcohol is one of the fatal errors
Of science. He holds the view that
the majority of physicians take up
an inconsistent position with regard
to the use of alcohol, for the reason
that while they are well aware of it's
dangerous and poisonous qualities,
they nevertheless contribute to max
ing permanent the false ideas con-
corning the value and effects of al
cohol which are so generally dissem-
mated. KassowitzeXplains these in
constituencies on the ground that the
teaching which considers alcohol a
food. because il is burned in the or
ganism, has held its ground in spite
of many disregarded newer investi-
cations which have shown its indie
feasibility. He is, therefore, of the
opinion that the assumption ascrib
ing food properties to alcohol based
on simple theoretical considerations
is a grave scientific error, the reno
val of which is the most important
preliminary condition to an elfectual
battle against alcoholism. "

Father James V. Hussie, who's
ceeded the late Father Philip in the
Hazleton Catholic parish, has done
the striking miners notable service
in persuading some thousands Of
them to solemnly pledge themselves
to abstain from the use of intoxicat-
ing drinks until the strike shall be
over. This is also great public
service. Drunkenness is in itself
an Indictment to violence; and VIC
lence, taking the form of the des-
truction of property and the invas-
ion of personal rights, and not in
frequently bringing on bloodshed
and loss of life, involves an abandon
ment of safe and sure procedure and
the ultimate loss of public sympa-
thy. Whatever is spent for drink
by so much cuts short the ability of
the strikers to hold out in the test of
endurance they have entered upon.
1t is evident that Father Hussie
strongly desires that the miners
shall win. If as a body they shall
follow his advice, whether they shall
win or lose, they will be the better
off for having done so, -Phia. Re

Last Tuesday, May 20, 1902, the
United States flag was lowered over
Moro Castle, Havana, Cuba, and
the Cuban Republic was born. The
Unions honor and good faith has
been indicated, and the United
States loses no prestige, but gains
respect by lowering it's flag. The
howl that Of wherever the flag
floats, it must never be lowered, "
was fittingly answered in Tuesday s
simple ceremony at Havana. Our

ba ample trade concessions and thus
fulfil its duty to the Island.

Tomorrow or the next night the
republicans Of the House expect to
call caucus to consider the advis-
ability of passing the Fowler bank
ing and currency bill. There is no
hope that the bill will be passed or
even considered at this session by
the Senate and there is little likeli-
hood that the Senate will pass it at
the next session but it is the belief
of the House leaders that it will
draw the democrats in the fall
campaign and it is with the inten-
tion OF stirring up the advocates of
free silver that the leaders wish 10
pass the measure. The bill pro
vides for the retirement ofthe green
backs and the conveyance to the
national banks of almost unlimited
powers and responsibilities. The
Western republicans are seriously
opposed to its passage as they be-
lieve it would be another instance
Of the sacrifice of their interests to
the general good of the party and
they consider that they havealready
been seriously injured by the abso.
lutte rejection of tariff revision.
Whether the leaders win be able to
whip the insurgents into line in the
caucus remains 10 be seen.

Another North Dakota product
is rapidly coming to the front
and that is our native Ignite
coal. Last week the Washburn
railroad company made test of
this coal on a railroad engine and
the test was extremely sat
isfactory. Northern Pacific Of
ticials were also on the train and
they, too, are delighted
at the results. Another
test will be made with u heavier
train and if the results are as
satisfactory as in the first time
Ignite coal will be the fuel of the
future to be used on railroad
locomotives. This will mean
great things for this state. Thou
sands upon thousands of tons of
Ignite will be needed to supply
these locomotives and hundreds
of men will be needed in the
mines of the state to produce
this coal, thus opening up ave-
nues for work for laboring men.
North Dakota has an inexhaust-
ible supply of this fuel and can
supply the whole country if
necessary. Traffic Manager
Walker, of the Washburn road, is
exceedingly pleased over the re-
suits obtained. which means lots
of business for his road il the
coal is adopted for general use.

The question Of consolidating
the schools of the county is one
that was lightly touched upon at
the recent institute held here,
and is a question that is rapidly
coming to the front and one that
is worthy of more general dis
cussion.. The Fargo Forum
brings out some good points in
the following:
The plan of consolidated
schools seem to be meeting with
favor throughout the state. The
inclemency of winter, makes the
problem of rural schools very
serious before the people of the
state. Rural education in North
Dakota has. many obstacles to
contend with. which effectually
prevent it from attaining the
best results. The scarcity of
settlers in many parts make the
support of tirst.class schools q
burden, while the distance that
children have to go to attend,
places the educational facilities
within the reach of the grown
pupils only, the sending of small
children being at times danger
GUS. The consolidated plan
would enable several districts to
combine, employ only first-class
teachers, convey the children to
and from school. enact social
entertainments and otherwise
vary the stern class routine by
interesting literary programs
and make the school session both
instructive and entertaining. In
many places owing to local in
conveniences, many rural schools
are compelled to close down in
winter thereby permitting the
best school season of the year to
pass idly by. In communities
where the consolidated plan has
been tried, it has given the
greatest satisfaction and there
seems to be no reason why it
could not be introduced with
profit throughout tie state.

Every farmer ought to set out
q little patch of corn. Last year
was good year for corn and it
has been demonstrated that
North Dakota can raise corn that
is just as good as that raised in
Iowa. The corn belt has been
shifted west, the fact of the mat.
lis North Dakota is no longer a
western state in a sense, but one
of the most progressive and
prosperous middle states. Corn
is a great article for feeding to
stock and is a cheap crop to
raise. There is no reason why
every farmer should not
raise his own fodder. Griggs
county is one of the most fertile
of the galaxy of counties in this
state, and her crops average up
year by year as good as any in
the Red River valley. Her peo-
pie are prosperous and our real
estate dealers are selling farms
every day, If this editorial
catches the eye Of some restless
down easter who is tired of
breaking his back blowing up
stumps and stones, let him jump
aboard the train and come to
Griggs county, where for a rea-
sonable price he can purchase
one of the best farms in the
world, where he can plow fur
rows half a mile or a mile in
length without taking his plow
from the ground, and where
arming Is easier and prosperity
surer than anywhere in this
broad land.

The Sanborn Enterprise last
week issued a special edition
which is a good advertisement
for that town and the western
part OF Barnes county. The En-
terprise has done it's share for 10
these many years in trying to
build up q town at the terminal.
Now if some of the citizens of
that town would wake up from
their Rip Van 'Ninkle sleep and
join hands with Editor Mexican,
there is no reason why Sanborn
shouldn't grow and prosper.
Enterprise and push is what puts
a town to the front. Don't ex-
pect the newspaper to do it all,
but put your shoulder to the
wheel and push. Any town can
improve its appearance by plant
ingtrees, buildinggo sidewalks
keeping the streets clean, ETC.,
and all of these points combined
invite other improvements. We
don't want particularly to boom
Cooperstown, but right here it
will not be amiss to Say that we
have better and cleaner streets,
better sidewalks, better painted
buildings and more trees than
any town in North Dakota, size
being taken into. consideration.
All these things have been ac-
complished by our progressive
citizens and a stranger dropping
into town soon sees the effect of
itall. Why not Sanborn? They
have good people there, a fine
country to draw from and the
town well located for q thrifty
little city. The Enterprise is do

the nervy governor of Minnesota
