IAN Armenians are liars. The kurds
are the Sultan's warriors. To do this
is their right" The only time that
these "crazy heads" are ever pun
ished is when they are indiscreet
enough to hold up some wealthy Turk
or insult a Turkish woman.
1t is from among these men that the
Sultan has drawn his notorious Hami-
dieh Cavalry, called by his own name,
and provided with uniforms and arms.
While the unvarying rule Of the Turk
ish Government has been to send Its
soldiers far away from their own

sions, the nomads, lawless and brutal,
to which belong the Bashi-Bazouis,
meaning literally "crazy heads" and
the serfs or subject Kurds, who are
merely stolid, stupid peasants, content
with filling the soil in the most rudi-
mentary way but displaying wonder
full skill in weaving rugs.
The nomadic Kurds never work, but
depend upon the Armenians, as para
site does upon a plant. When not
upon the actual warpath, and nothing
more than ordinary brigandage is
going on, the chief Of each tribe comes
down from the mountains every spring
at the head of his men to collect tribute
Of the Armenian villages in sheep,
mules, rugs, stockings, or anything else
that takes his fancy All of their
wheat and grain they get from the
Armenians, who are forced to support
themselves and the Kurds, and at the
same time pay taxes to the Turkish
Government.
They are all very fond Of finery, and
never hesitate to avail themselves OF
any opportunity for adding to their
store. They seem to know by intul

Horrible Crimes

BazoukS


There is no political turmoil in Tur-
key in which the Bnshi-Bazouks are
not permitted and encouraged to take
the star role in the bloody drama OF
affairs. So thoroughly is this recog-
nized that their name has come to be
synonymous with bloodshed, their
presence the Rruesome forerunner or
a certain harvest Of death. Even
among the Turks themselves their COM
mon designation has come to be
"Black Mora" devil of the night, and
the most obdurate and refractory child
quails and becomes obedient at the
mere whisper of that awful name.
Although known as irregular sol
oilers or guerillas, and paid solely by
the plumber they are always sure to
get, they are the Sultan's chosen In

A u MAN.

Jamestown Alert: A Burleigh
county man has sold his farm and
gone to Bentonville, Ark, with three
COWS to start a milk route His
move shows that he doesn't know
what he is doing if he wants to make
a living with selling milk, or making
butter. He leaves the finest grass in
the world and a good chance to make
money in the creamery bushes IS, to
go to a country where there is no
grass for stock, where cows'are fed on
cotton seed meal, and alfalfa hay
grown in another state, or Craze on
the road sides along the red clay
banks and lap leaves off the trees to
appease their hunger. The COWS and
pigs of Arkansas would make a North
Dakota farmer laugh at the idea Of
getting good milk or butter or good
pork or lard from such apparitions.
Like many other men the misguided
Burleigh county farmer passes over
the very finest opportunities right at
home to seek in distant states the
same thing unler the most grotesque
conditions and with the absolute GER
tainty that he will not succeed.

RESERVATION WILL OPEN.
Chances Favorable For Passage of Bill at
Present Session,

SSoSAOAs
The passage of the bill opening the
Fort Totten and Devils Lake Indian
reservation is considered as an almost
certainty and it is expected that the
proclamation opening it for settle
ment will be made early next sum
mer. This reservation contains, ex-
elusive of the tract excluded by
reason of erroneous survey in 1875,
342, $50 acres or about 9, 100 claims Of
1850 acres each, deducting the amount
Of tile allotment to the Indians, leaves
a balance Of 10, 416 acres or a little
over 1, 900 claims of 100 acres each; of
this there will probably be a tract of
$50 acres in the northeast corner of
the reservation, known as Sulley Hill,
reserved by the government and set
aside as a public park. This tract
which has some local historical signi-
icance is an elevated ridge of much
natural beauty, with several deep ra-
vines extending from it's northern
slope toward the lake. This tract is
covered with a dense growth of small
timber, there being found thereon
every variety of timber and wild fruit
indigenous to the state. This tract
of land is so rough and broken that
it is not adapted to cultivation.

hand, a pure and a wise and just
judiciary is a blessing beyond com
pare. People-even those who break

hate iniquity. The remedy for the

high moral character and legal attain

DEVILS LAKES OPPORTUNITY.

There is ground for the belief that
this session of congress will pass the
Fl. Totten bill, and that the presi-
dents proclamation opening it for
settlement will be issued during the
summer. All Of which means much
for Devils Lake. The completion Of
the Pelican Point bridge will enable
Devils Lake to make a strong bid for
the reservation trade which will
amount to many thousand dollars an
nually. The future Of Devils Lake
was never brighter than at present.
It is now one of the principal divi-
sion stations on the Great Northern,
which means a large increase of sub
stantial and worthy citizens to our
population. It is growing to be a
supply point for a large territory ex-
tending in all directions, and it will
follow as a natural consequence that
wholesale houses and Factories will be
established in time. There is work
ahead for the business mems club
and it is your duty to help them in
every way possible. The work done
this year will settle the future of the
town. If we make the best of our op-
portunities and get a good start in the
lead it will be but a few years until
we will have a city in size and impor-
lance equal to Grand Forks and Fargo.

The creamery-push it along.

Bottineau News: Many Of the
newspapers through this state and
other state are giving a good deal of
attention to the question as to wheth-
er Judges should take an active part
in politics, and the consensus of opin-
ion would seem to be against the idea.
On a little reflection this will not
seem strange. Granting that a man
may be able to be a political partisan
and a just judge, still it is not unnat'
ural that the people, with few excep'
tions, should form the opinion that 6
man blinded by party prejudices is
incapable of dealing out ave handed
justice. A judge cannot descend tt
the level of the political trickster, hi
cannot stoop to methods to gain poll
tical advantages which are opposed
to the law and public morality and
still retain the respect which is due
to his exalted position, and once hi
fo1feits that respect his usefulness is
gone. Instances are cited in which
the political prejudices Of judges have
blinded, them to such an extent as tc
make it impossible for lawyers of op.
posite political views to plead before
them with a hope of receiving a re-
spectful hearing or obtaining justice
for their clients. This is certainly a
deplorable state of affairs and call.

: WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed Aourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard

The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be

were to be expected Some authorities be-
lieve revival will come in social re-
generation, others In ethical enlighten-

TOO MANY HOLES In LAW
Teachers Would Have the Compul.
sorry Education Law Made
VIZ More Stringent. iaais

"
Amendments to the compulsory
education law will be proposed at the
annual meeting of the Minnesota Edu-
cational association to assemble in St.
Paul in the holidays. A special COM
n1ittee will consider the fact that the
present law, requiring children to at
tend school between the ages Of and
16 years, affords too many excuses. j
The teachers will probably recon-
mend that the law be changed so that
all children from to IA years Of age
will be required to attend school, UNI
less prevented by poverty or by mental
Or physical disability.
Another reported project Of the
Educational association is to charge
admission to all the meetings during
it's annual session. The suggestion
made Is that persons not members of
+ the society be asked to pay 81 each
for badges admitting the holder to the
general sessions, the evening lectures,
etc.
Some teachers, however, argue that
the public school system is for the
benefit Of all, and that the public has
an implied right to attend without
/ charge, the general meetings Of the
association and to hear the informal
discussions. But fee might reason
ably be demanded for the privilege of
hearing paid lectures.
