That our governor failed TO At.

ence at Helena, to prevent the con-
solidation Ct the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railway inter-
ests, has, and rightly, elected great
deal ofpopularcomment,that doesnot
reflect favorab'y upon the governors
attitude. It seems that the once
thought, Gallant Major White, has
proven himself 10 he tool for the
ssgang" and had not the welfare Of
the people at heart. We always

We would like 10 know how long
the Republican party OF North Da-
kota intends TO elect governors, con-
trolled by lot of4miscreants that are
rotten 10 the core. Why not elect a
man who is free from ''gangism?"
One that will abide by the will Of the
majority. We know Of no more
worthier parsonage than Lieut. Gov.
David Bartlett, man whose very
p.-ysiognomy prognostica,es purity,
6rmness and determination to that

name is so eminen'ly connected with
the framing of that famous aud i'm
mortal document. the constitution
of North Dakota, has every requisite

Costly Eggs.

A peculiar fact in collecting birds
eggs is the wide difference in values OF
eggs of the same family of birds For
instance, there is the great family of
hawks. Some hawks eggs are worth
only a few cents each, and other
hawks eggs find ready sale at SO, IS
and 81 each. It makes a 500 bill look
dilip;dated TO buy complete set OF
even western hawks eggs, while a full
set of all known hawks eggs cost up
ward of $500. The eggs of a marsh
hawk, a red backed hawk and a cooper
hawk may be bought for 20 cents each,
and the broad winged hawks eggs will
bring 81 each the world over The
eggs of Swainson's hawk and the buff
breasted hawk are worth $1.5o each

Propose Tax on Race Horses.

In view OF the necessity OF raising
more millions for the Boer-England
war, it has been suggested, says the
London correspondent Of the Manches-
ter Guardian. that the chancellor Of
the exchequer might turn his attention
to the turf. Horse racing is essential
ly a luxury, and there might be no
great difficulty in intereepting for the
public good portion Of the money
which is annually spent on it. Pitt
recognized this in 1884 (four years
after the institution of the Derby
stakes) when, in connection with his
horsetax, he proposed to levy an addi-
tional guinea per annum on all race
horses and s5 on every winner. Such
a scheme naturally excited violent op-
position.

Endurance o, siberian came,s.

Travellers in Siberia have noticed
with much surprise the ability of the
native camels to Withstand. without
protection, the greatest extremes of
mold and heat In winter the Their
mometer on the Monaghan plateau
sometimes drops to 40 degrees Fahren-
heit, yet the -camels wander about with
no evidence Of suffering. On the other
hand. the Russian explorer, Prejeval-
ski, found the temperature OF the
ground in the Cobb desert in summer
to be more than 40 degrees Fahren-
heit, but the csmels are apparently as
Indifferent to this degree of heat as
they are to the winter cold.-Yopth's

MISTAKE OF POLAR BEAR.
He Stalks Men for Seals and HimseIl
Falls Victim.


He Stalks Men for Seals and Himsolf
Falls Victim.
Nordenskiold found that the white
bears generally went through a long
performance of stalking his sailors,
clearly Oh tLe mistaken conclusion that
they were seals. As the nen were
clothed partly in sealskin, 1t was a
very natural mistake. But the inter-
est Of the story lies In the generaliza.
ton made by the bear. The bear said:
There are two or three seals, one
standing up on its nippers In a very
unusual way. / will therefore stalk
them unseen as long as can and when
they see me pretend to be doing some
thing else" So the men, with their
guns and lances. who wanted to shoot
the bear, had the pleasure Of seeing
him carefully crawling behind rocks
and ice hummocks, making long de-
tours this way and that, and every
now and then clambering up a rock
and peeping cautiously over to see if
the seals had gone. On the open snow
TIE bear would saunter off in another
direction, and then. falling fat, push
himself along on his belly. with his
great front paws covering his black
muzzle, the only thing not matching
the snow about him. Just as the bear
thought he>had got his seal" the lat
ter fired and shot him, a victim Of
false analogy.-Standard.

nou Eskimos Ron rim..

..How do the Eskimos tell timer"
was the inquiry made Of man who
has had considerable experience in
North Greenland in connection with
the Peary expedition. He said: IF
you are about to start on a journey
and ask an Eskimo how long it will
take, he win tell you three sleeps or
-four sleeps. corresponding to the num-
Der of days the trip will take, but he
knows nothing about a day-only that
every so often he has to stop to sleep.
And. fortunately, the Eskimo finds it
convenient to sleep about cnce in "a
hours. so that his sleep means prac-
ttcally q day"

previously denied their crimes, made
confessions
Jose Torres, who had become a IA
natical spiritualist, violently resisted
attempts to adjust the garrote. and in
sisted that he should die with his face
uncovered. 1t was Is minutes before
he was subdued.
They were all put to death within so
minutes. and the average time taken
to kill each man was two minutes.
None, it is thought, suffered pain,
ssdeath was practically instantaneous,
though violent twitchings of the limbs
continued for a minute or two after
ward.
Evidence at the trial of the men
showed that a band Of about 25 went
to the house of Delgado and called
upon him to open the door in the name
of the American police and municipal
judge. When DelgadO opened the door

seized Delgado and about six others.
The men were tied to the stairs lead
ing 10 the roof. The women were locked
up in a room, while two of the bandits
took Delgado into a shed adjoining the
house, and, after tying him hand and
foot, hung him up by the feet.
They then beat him and cut off HIS
ears, afterward putting a rope around
his neck and hanging him to one of the
beams. He died in the morning of Oc-
tober I, of strangulation.
In the meantime the other bandits
were ransacking the house. After
several attacks upon the women, the
band departed with their stolen goods.

FATE PURSUES HIM.
Six Times William ]. ROhr Has
Been Almost Dead.
Five Times He Was the Victim of Ac-
cidents, the Sixth Time He Tried
10 Cross the River Styx
by Himself.

Probably no man ever lived who has
not at one time or another asked
himself the question: How does it
feel to die?"
In Minneapolis, says the Chicago
Tribune, there lives a man who not
only has asked the question, but is
able TO answer it as well. He has in
reality died six times, yet is alive and
in the best of health to-day. This
man, whose experiences battle COM
parisOn, is William j. ROhr. Since he
was boy going to school he has trav-
eled six different routes attempting
20 cross the River Styx. but each
time, as he expresses it: 'St. Peter
turned away and announced a false
alarm" ROhr is confident that the
slender thread that holds his life
possesses marvellous strength, for he
has passed through the following or
deals each of which brought him near
death:
Fell through hole in the ice while
skating on a mill pond; unconscious
when taken from the water.
Fell into a river while protecting a
bridge against an ice foe; uncOn-
Ecious when taken from the water.
Smothered in an alright trunk
while hiding in a game of hide and
seek" unconscious when found
Fell over a Precipice in st. Paul to
the ground below, a distance of 1O5
feet; unconscious when picked up.
Stricken with consumption and
given up TO die, but refused to allow
physicians to have their way.
Attempted suicide by shooting him
self twice in the breast with re-
volyer; unconscious when picked up
but not dead.
What is rather unusual in Mr.. Roht
is that he has experienced the novel
ty of writing about his own death
sensations. when l slid under the
Ice of the mill pond this was the be-

impulse was TO take him by the tail
and throw him over the fence. He
concluded. however. to take il TO the
house, show il to the family, and then
skin it. His wife laid it in her lap for
awhile and remarked that the body
was still warm and the children patted
it asd pitied it for some time.
Suddenly some one opened a win
dow and like a fash the fox leaped
from Mrs. Martins lap and bounded
for the window. He fell about an inch
short and the window was closed.

house Reynard was. caught. and in
