WORK ON THE REFORM SCHoLL.
1t is gratifying to see the progress
being made by the contractor Of the
Mandan Reform School, says the
Mandan Pioneer. The second story
window castings are in, and in a short
time the wall will be completed. The
attic,s which will have a ceiling eight
feet from the floor, will not be finish
ed by the contractor, but will be com
pleted when needed. The building
makes a very fine appearance from the
railroad. The white facing brick are
all that can be asked for. The work
is of the most solid and durable char
acter, and those who have looked oyer
the work and considered the amount
to be paid to the contractor, believe
that the state OF North Dakota will
get better value for money Id this
building than in any other work they
have I've had done. The boys who
are sent to this school will, as far as
q building is concerned, have nothing
ITO complain OF. The idea of the trus-
tees is that when this building is too
small, other buildings will be erected
near, instead of adding to one large
building.

IN TWENTY DAYS.
500 ROAD EXPECTS TO REACH

500 ROAD EXPECTS TO REACH
BISMARCK IN A SHORT TIME.
Braddock Republican: Contrary to
expectations, the track layers began
work Friday and laid a couple of miles
of steel by hand before the track-lay-
ing machine wa ready for business.
The machine was set up and began
operations Monday morning, since
which time over a mile of steel. a day
has been laid. The working force is
now made .up of one hundred men, but
is far too small to accomplish what
the company expects-two miles a day.
More men will be here this week, and
the work is expected to move rapidly.
Chief Engineer Green, of the 500,
who is here keeping an eye on the
work is reported to have said that
Bismarck could be reached in twenty
days, which looks as if the promise
that the 500 would be in Bismarck by
July 10Th, will not fall far short.

FARMERS GO 70 FARGO.
Delegation of Burleigh County Farmers
, Go to Fargo to Visit Agricul-
tural College.
More Applications than the Number
of Tickets Ailotted-Trip
Lasts Two Days.

A party of farmers and farmers
wives left on the afternoon train to-
day for Fargo, to visit the state agri
cultural college, and see for them
selves the work Of scientific farming
operations, and the manner in which
the college is assisting the science of
agriculture in this state. The North
ern Pacific railroad company has made
a nominal fare for the round trip to
Fargo, and the Tribune has had many
applications from farmers who desire
to make the trip-the total number
being greater than the number allotted
to Burleigh county, which is fifty. The
first fifty applying were furnished
with tickets, and those applying after
the quota was filed took the
place of some who failed to go.
Those from whom applications
have been received are as fol-
lows: c. D. King and wife, Menoken;
N. E. Shelton, Milan Ward, J. D. Nc
Donald and wife, w. f. Breen and
wife, F. R. Little and wife, Bismarck;

AS the total number of applications
exceeded the number of tickets allot-
ted, some of those who applied were
disappointed. The trip will last
two days, and should be of great in
terest and profit to those WHO make it.

Origin Of the Rattle.nake r1as.

One Of the most common devices
used on the American flags during the
early part Of the Revolutionary strug.
gle was an embroidered rattlesnake
above or below the legend Don't tread
on mel"
The origin Of this design has been
traced to a remark made by Ben
franklin. At the time the dag was
adopted, or Immediately before, Eng
land was shipping her criminals to
America and turning them loose on
the defenseless colonists. After sew
eral murders had been committed By.
these unWelcome immigrants Ben
franklin (sone say IN q Joking spirity

by sending q cargo Of rattiesnakes to

GOSPEL MEETING.

The series Of gospel meetings con-
Quoted by Rev. C. J. Mason in this city
in the Methodist church, whose hospit-
able doors are ever open to every good
word and work, have been a success
from the beginning. The eloquence OF
the speaker and the pathos of his
LUIS have inclined the interest of the
audience and a lasting impression has
been made. Right ideas as to the ma
ture and scope of the C%rittenton
charities have been instflled into the
minds of his hearers, and interest in
the work aroused.
The meeting on Saturday afternoon
was a Bible reading on the subject of
Prayer conducted by Rev. Mason,
evangelist of the National Crittenton
mission, assisted by Rev. Miller, pastor
Vt the church. u aM@ s5
At the evening session there was
excellent music by the choir, and a
fine sermon by Rev. Mason, with de-
votional exercises participated in by
Rev. Miller. and Rev. A. w. HAYES,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
whose fervent eloquence has added
greatly to the interest of the meetings.
Sunday morning Rev. Mason again
preached an excellent sermon and at
a p. m. addressed the Junior Epworth
League, and at night he gave an in
feresting presentation of the origin
and object of the Crittenton mission
a personal sketch of its founder, the
great philanthropist, Charles N. Crit
tenton-and his little daughter, Flor
ence. He told Of the 81 C%rittenton
homes established and maintained by
him, and in earnest words delineated
the value of the work in saving souls
for the Masters kingdom.
The intense interest of the congrega-
ton was manifested by the perfect
stiffness of the audience as they listen
ed to the thrilling words of the earnest
speaker as he depicted the scenes from
his own experience in rescue work in
eastern cities. Last, but not least, he
spoke of the home at Bismarck, which
is at last, after so many difficulties
overcome, to be an established fact.
Rev. Mason goes Monday to visit the
home ait Helena, Mont, but will soon
return, when work for the Bismarck
home will go on actually.

POISONING THE SYSTEM.

It is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed OF impurities. Con-
stipation keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dulness and
m~elancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness
unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little EARLY Risers prevent this trou-
BILE by Stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently, but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
w work. Never grippe Or distress.

Many Maine people who live in q
PERTAIN part Of Cumberland county will
well remember one Abner-so he was
always called in his town. Abner was
the wit of the village, and he was
commonly selected to take charge Of
funerals because he was about the
only mar in town who had time hang
ing on his hands. A citizen died., a man
who never amounted to much, who
was never positively wicked, because
that would have required more of an
effort than he was willing to make.
He was, however, far enough from be-
Ing a good citizen, and Abner knew it
as well as anybody else. $s
Abner vas requested to ask a certain
minister to conduct the service, and he
hitched up his old horse and drove to
his house. The minister said he would
attend and then tried to get a little in
formation concerning the late lament
ed.
"What sort of a man was he?" he
asked. ~ .'Ss

a man at all" replied Abner frankly.

"Was he a Christian asked the
minister. a !

dict would have been not guilty and
the jury wouldn't have left their SEATS"
replied Abner cheerfully. :

minister a bit a%nxiously.
II never heard Of his doing it," said
Abner.
How did he der continued the
minister.
.Just the same as he lived, sort of
naturally" said Abner.
81 don't see how I'm to preach much
Of q ermon under such circumstances"
said the minister.
1.-THE neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much Of a sermon,
and so they sent me over to see you.
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath and
a five dollar bill, and after the funeral
the satisfied Abner said, .syYell, we got
just what WI wanted, b'gosh.'-Lewis-

The deep well borings of the United
States, made for water, Oil, and gas,
are the&subject of a statistical report
by N. H. barton, in the series of Wa

United States geological survey. The
list of deep wells is arranged by states,
in alphabetical order, and appears in
two pamphlets known as Water-Sup-
ply Papers Nos. 81 and g.. All wells
400 feet or over in depth are carefully
listed. Depth, diameter, yield per min
ute, and other characteristic data are
given, and many instructive details are
noted indicating for what purpose the
behring's were originally made, the
character of the product obtained, and
whether the wells are in use or aban-
doned. For the benefit of persons de-

corning wells in any particular region,

nature valuable for economic and
