Gov. White In icrsed.

Consistent with his conservative con-
victions on all measures bearing on the
business and financial affairs of the state
and in line with his belief in the ability
of the Legislature to deal with the prob
lem of rates and the supervision and reg
ulation of railroads in with his
confidence in the ~capability of our own
people to combat and destroy unjust
discrimination and unwise and unlawful
combinations leading to oppression, ia
voritism and monopoly, Governor White
has been bold enough and possessed in
dependence enough to keep out Of all
grand stand plays calculated to excite
the people and burden the state with un-
necessary cxpcnse-especially in the
matter Of anti-mergcr demonstrations
which have SO thoroughly aroused the
people of the northwest. In the mer-
ger controversy it very early transpircd
that instead of a mere conference those
who attended the Helena meeting would
be expected to cooperate with the we'll
defined and emphaticallv expressed
views of the governor of Minnesota or be
mlsrepresented at home. Mature de-
liberation convinced Governor White
that the participation of North Dakota
in the Helena meeting promised little
good. He took the practical view that
our people, when threatened with disas-
ter or when their rights and privileges
were endangered, would be equal to the
emergency. In the opinion of Governor
White the application of true statesman
ship to the matter of revenue and taxa
ton and equitable assessment in this
state is of more Importance than a dem
onstration against corporate interests.
Thanks to his conservatism are we
largely indebted for the states splendid
financial condition at this time. In the
even tenor of his course Governor White
has insisted and succeeded in securing
a gradual increase in the assessment of
railroads. He has not been unreason-
able but he has been firm. One thou
sand dollars a mile-a million and a half
increase in the valuation of the RAILROAD
properties of the state is of substantial
benefit to the state. That is the record
of the state equalization board for 1902.
Governor White is honest and he tries
to be practical. He may make mistakes
failure to attend the Helena meeting
may be one-but it is believed hat in
the light of subsequent events nothing
whatever would have been gained for
the benefit Of the people of his state, and
so long as Governor White proceeds
along the conservative lines that have
marked his career thus far he will be
sustained and applauded by the people
of this state.-Bismarck Tribune.

A SERMON TO SUIT.
The Folks Who Paid For the Dis.

The Folks Who Paid For the Dis
course Got What They Wanted.
Many Maine people who live in a
certain part Of Cumberland county will
we'll 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 man 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 we'll as anybody else.
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.
swell, about the same as no sort OF
a man at ALL" replied Abner frankly.
II suppose his loss will be deeply
felt in the community" said the min.
lister.
They're all bearing up we'll under
it." said Abner slowly.
"Was he a Christian?" asked the
minister.
IF he'd been accused Of it, the yer.
dict would have been not guilty and
the jury wouldn't have left their Seats
replied Abner c%heerfully.
"Did he attend church," asked the
minister a bit anxiously.
II never heard Of his doing it." said
Abner.
How did he die?" continued the
minister.
Gust the same as he lived, sort OF
naturally" said Abner.
II don't see how I'm to preach much
of a sermon under such circumstances,'
said the minister.
1.-THE neighbors all said they didn't
think they wanted much of a sermon
and 50 they sent me over to see you,'
said Abner.
The minister pocketed his wrath ant
a five dollar bill, and after the funera
the satisfied Abner said, swell, we got
just what we wanted, b'gosh."-Lewis

STRONG PULSE BEATS.
Cases In Which They Are Perceptiblc

to the Eye.
ut is not such an uncommon thing"
said a physician, ito find a person
whose pulse beats can be plainly seen,
and yet l suppose there are but few
outside Of the profession who realize
the fact. In most persons the beat
Of the pulse cannot be perceived, but
the mere fact that the beating is per.
ceptible does not mean that the pulse
is other than normal. l have come
across a number of cases where the
t%hrobbing of the wrist could be plainly
seen, and vet the persons rarely gave
evidence Of abnormality in temporal
ture. They were rarely feverish and
were in good physical condition gen.
orally. Pulses Of this kind, from this
view, which is based upon actual OBJ
servations Of cases, do not indicate
anything more than an abnormal phys.
ical condition in the formation of the
wrist veins.
II have met with one Ease which
was possibly a little extraordinary in
that it was palmer and much more dis.

It could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to u point almost as large
as the ball of the little finger Of a
child and would change from the white
Of the skin to a blood purple with each
beat Of the pulse. l found it easy to
count the pulse beats without touching
the patients wrist. l could see plainly
enough to keep the record, and in order
not to err in my calculation l tested it
in several ways and found it was cor
rect and that there was no mistake in
my counting with the naked eye."-

POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed Of fowls.
When the chickens are growing fast,
1t Is a good plan to mix a little bone
meal in their soft feed.
Smearing whole wheat with kerosene
or %turpentine and feeding it to the
chickens is a good remedy for gapes.
Adding some carbolic acid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re-
suits from the embarrassing Of the
poultry house.
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food of any kind before the fowls
all the time, it will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want.
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers. They will always divide into
aocks of small size and will select diff
ferent feeding grounds, always pro.
vided they have the opportunity.
A growing chicken, like a growing
animal, requires plenty of good, whole

in order to enable them to grow and

Roundup Of Buffalo.

ACannonball dispatch says: An un-
usual feature of the roundup of cattle
on the Sheyenne reservation. one that
probably will never occur again, was the
gathering of about seventy head Of buff
falo, and the roping and branding of
several "mixed bloods." These are the
result of a cross between the buffalo and
the domestic bull. They are o Of much
value, except for the robes. They often
have white faces and other cEaracteris-
tics of the domestic animal. These buff
faloes are the property Of the Dupree es.
tate.
August 2 will always be remembered
among the Indians of this reservation.
On that day all the able-bodied under
90 years received their last ration from
the government. The old and helpless
will continue to receive rations.

THE DEMOCRATS.

Some Bismarck Correspondence in an
Eastern Paper Indicates that the Whole
sale Liquor Men Are Expected to Sup
oily funds for this Democratic Cam
paign. But There are Likely to Be Some
Disappointment.
Bismarck, Aug. I2:-lt is said that the
democrats are counting largely upon the
wholesale liquor men for campaign funds
as a result Of the party declaration in ia
vor of resubmission of the liquor ques-
ton, and that with a big campaign fund
they will be able to cut some ice in the
fall campaign. But the echoes from the
campaign are beginning to be heard in
the land and it is found that many of the
staunchest democrats of the state think
the convention made a mistake and that
the party will lose more votes than they
can gain, especially in the Red River
Valley counties, where the prohibition
sentiment is strong, regardless Of party.
1t has come to be generally recognized
among intelligent voters that the resub-
mission plank cuts little figure as to the
state ticket, but, on the contrary, per-
tains only to the Legislative tickets, as
the question is a constitutional M and
can only be affected either way by the
legislature, therefore. it is not expected
that it will make great inroads into the
big republican majority usually rolled up
in November.
There is no doubt the issue will cut
considerable figure in some of the legis-
Iative fights in counties where the for
eign element is strong, in German and
Russian settlements, tor instance, but
even in those counties the normal repub-
lican majority is SO great, and the repub-
lican candidate imbued with a leaning
to resubmisslon, it seems unlikely that
the percentage of democrats and popu-
list Legislators will be any greater next
winter than usual.
The failure Of the democrats to indorse
the Bryan national platform of the last
national convention has furnished the
needed excuse to lots of populists for
getting back to the republican camp,
and it is predicted by those familiar with
the situation in pop counties that the re-
publican vote in those sections will be
the largest on record.
