London, Jan. ia blue book just
issued on the subject Of the concentra-
ton camps in South Africa contains
further detailed explanations from
Lord Miner, the British high commits
%sioner, and Lord Kitchener as to the
auses of the excessive death rate in
the camps and refutatfons of the
charges of cruelty.
Lord Kitchener emphatically denies

tions Of forcible removal and exposure
of pregnant women and of rough and
cruel treatment of women and chill
dren, and says:
II offered Botha to leave the fam
lilies and relatives of fighting burghers
in ~undisturbed possession of their
farms II Botha would agree to spare
the farms OF the families of surren-
dered burghers. Botha emphaticaNy
refused. saying: i am enetitled to
force every q to join and If they do
not join, to %conf1scate their property
and leave their families on the yelt.'"
The blue book gives statistics for
the month of December last when
there were 117,017 inmates of the
camps and 1880 deaths, OF which

NOT EASY TO PASS.

In commenting IN the recent exam
ination of applicants to practice med
icine the Fargo Forum says:
It is not an easy matter ito become
a member of the medical fraternity of
North Dakota. The standard of adj
mittance is higher here than in most
other states, hence the proportion OF
doctors to the population is small COM
pared with the majority Of other COM
monwealths. Certificates Of registra-
ton in other states are not sufficient
to admit doctors to practice in North
Dakota, no matter how highly the
person may be recommended. Di-
plomas from medical colleges don't
count in this state. Only the ability
10 pass the very strict medical exam
nation given by the board Of examin-
ers counts. The board Of examiners
have succeeded by their policy in only
s securing the best talent in the medical
profession for the state and deserve
much credit. 1t is seldom that more
than half the applicants taking the
examination succeed in passing, and
this fact is becoming known by med
ical students, SO that the more fimid
steer clear OF North Dakota.

road land another season, but now
that they can file On one quarter sec
tion in each vacant section of govern
ment land they are much better salts
fed. No deed is ever issued by the
government for the claims, which are
held in reserve, the claimant having
the land surveyed at the end of two
years and a plat filed showing that a
reservoir has been constructed capable
of holding not less than 100000 gal
Ions Of water, and in January Of each
year thereafter filing an affidavit that
the same has been kept UP. The land
is exempt from taxation and is prac-

NO MORE LONG HAIR

INDIAN DEPARTMENT WILL AT
TEMPT TO DO AWAY WITH BAR
BARIC HABITS. s.gl.
A Washington special: In one
sense of the word the happy days of
the Indian are yer.
He will not be allowed to have long
hair. He cannot paint his face, even
though such a privilege is granted ito
some women. And he cannot wear
funny clothes.
Such are the orders of the secretary
of the interior.
Commissioner Jones has sent to the
agents in charge of nearly every In
dian reservation a circular letter di-
recting him to forbid, in the name of
the interior department, the wearing
Of long hair by the male Indians under
his charge, and the painting of their
faces by Indians of either sex.
To accomplish the cessation of these
practices the agent is directed to en-
ploy all the means ait hand; to suspend
rations and other supplies; to confne
the younger recalcitrants in the guard
house at hard labor; and by tact, per-
severance and firmness to induce the
old men to give up the customs which
bind them to barbarism.
Even the blanket is to give way to
clothes of American civilization.
1t happens that several small tribes
have anticipated this action of the bu-
G and have given up the signs OF
their nomadic life voluntarily.
BY far the greatest number, how
ever, still cling to costume and Gus
tom with the tenacity characteristic Oh
their race.
1t is thought possible that the new
attitude of the department may pro
woke determined remonstrance. The
agents have been cautioned against
proceeding with great haste and told
to rely on tact rather than force until
the latter becomes necessary.

Dickinson Pess: Since the interior

would be accepted again. Capt. J. G..
Saunders has been taking quite a num-
her of these filings, mostly from stock
men who wish to protect their range
and get a better supply Of water for
their sheep and cattle. The stock
men, especially those with the small
holdings, have come to see that the
reservoir claims are a good thing, ar
fording water and grazing. In fact,
so favcrably are they looked upon that

The 500 is surely coming, vide the
following from the Minneapolis Jour
nal: Reports that the Milwaukee
and the 500 railroads are to make sew
eral important extensions in the north
west this year r being discussed
with interest. The impression pre-
walls among railroad men that what
ever understandings may have existed
between certain roads and the North
ern Pacific are at an end since the
Northern Pacific settlement in New
York resulted in Hill domination of
that road. The Milwaukee is pushing
its line from Eureka, S. D., into south
western North Dakota and will prob
ably use the extension as a base for
tapping the Missouri slope country.
1t is understood that the 500 for years
has been kept out of the Bismarck
country owing to an understanding be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and the
Northern Pacific in which the Northern
Pacific extensions in Manitoba were
not made as a result of no further en-
croachments upon Northern Pacific
territory in North Dakota by the 500.
With the practical retirement of the
Northern Pacific from Manitoba by the
leasing Of its lines to the Manitoba
government the Northern Pacific lost
the club it had welded in Canadian
Pacific territory. The 500 began it's
campaign of Northern Pacific territory
last year by the Missouri river extern
sion, forcing the Northern Pacific to
make preparations to build south from
its main line. There appears to be
no doubt in the minds Of railway men
that the Soo's policy of paralleling it's
own lines at a distance of from fifty to-
one hundred miles is to be carried out
to some extent this year by the extern
sion of the road into Bismarck"

An Excellent Combinatio! OF

The pleasant method and beneticial
effects of the well known rem edy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used. as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
CO. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

UPRIGHT JUDGE MAKES GOOD.
Money Collected, Supposedly Lawfully,
After Many Years Is Returned.

A1Ier Wany Years Is returned.
New Richmond, Wis, Nov 19.-St.
Croix county has just peen treated to
the spectacle of a citizen returning
to the county treasury voluntarily a
sum OF money aggregating $4O6.5O, col
lected by him as fees while clerk OF
the circuit court, which it had been the
custom Of all his predecessors to col
lect from the county, and which every
body supposed at the time this citizan
in question was in Office were perfect
ly legal and regular and proper. Coun-
Judge Otto w. Arnquist appeared be-
fore the county board of St. Croix
county and requested that he be per-
mitted to return to the county treas
ury money collected by him from the
county, something over dozen or
fourteen years ago, while he was in
the office Of clerk of the courts, that
was considered legal and proper at the
time he filled the office, but that sew
eral years after, in the case of the
county Of Ct. Croix VS.. Webster, was
. declared illegal, and Webster was or
dered to return the amount ito the
county. If it was illegal for Webster,
Judge Arnquist concluded it was also
illegal for him, and so he voluntarily
returned the amount $406.50, though
whatever claims the. county might
have against him had long since out
laWed. Judge Arnquists conduct in
this matter has been widely comment
ed and commended.

Caney, KY, Nov. 49, - This little
town is in a state of siege on account
of a fight between the Frisbee and
Mans factions, which has been going
on at intervals for the last tWenty-four
hours. Sunday the child Of Bob Fris-
bee was buried in this county. Kelley
and Bob Mans and Gatu Howard, enc
mics Of Frisbee, and Frank and Al
gan raising a disturbance. Frisbee's
friends protested. The Mans boys
walked outside the graveyard and
dared the Lykins boys to follow. Fris-
bee and some friends started with the
Lykins boys for the hotel by another
route, when the Mans began shooting.
The Frisbees covered their retreat
with revolvers and the Howard-Mans
faction fred at them at long range.
One or two spectators were slightly
wounded and one of the Mans boys re-
ceived
Bullet in His Shoulder.
Frank Lykins was shot in the abdo-
men. After reaching the house Fris-
bee and his friends stationed them
selves at the windows and began firing
rapidly at their enemies, when the
HoWard-Mans faction retreated. An
hour later they returned, reinforced by
several friends, and riddled the hotel
with bullets.
In the meantime Lykins and Frisbee
had escaped to the mountains on
horseback to alarm the neighborhood.
Both sides are heavily armed. Frank
Lykins will die and Kelley Mans is
dangerously wounded. Both factions
include men prominent in the affairs
OF the county. The town has no pro-
lection excepting from the county Of
ficers, who are .nowerless because Of
the standing Of the participants in the
battle. No arrests have been made,
and each hour it is feared will bring on
q renewal of the encounter.
