Fort Totten Reservation.


The movement for the opening Of
the Devils Lake Indian reservation
seems to promise tangible results.
Hitherto, either thru the lukewarm
support of officials or thru the covert
antagonism of those interested in
maintaining the reservation intact,
all efforts have failed. Congressman
Marshall has now taken up the mat
ter and processes faith that he may
be able to succeed where his col
leagues have failed.
Agent Getchell of Fort Totten as
serts that the amount of land avail
able to homestead entry when the re-
servation is opened to settlement is
something like $4,000 acres, Much
the larger part of this is excellent
land and varies in distance from rail
road stations from a few rods to if-
teen miles. Fine stretches of this
land r tributary to Minnewaukan,
Lallie, Oberon, Sheyenne, Crazy and
Devils Lake City, and the greater part
of its lies in Benson county which al
ready has a; population of about 49,
900 and an assessed valuation of about
49, 900. '@ "'' g.

Tommy's Essay ON Preachers.

The following essay by "a youthful

and interesting light on church digni-

bishups tell the rectors to work and the
curats have to do it. Curat is q thin
married man but when he is a rector he
gets fuller and can preech longer sermons
and becums a good man, we should all

National Guard last summer, prior

Highly Satisfactory.

State Superintendent Stockwell
says that the results of the late
teachers examinations were highly
satisfactory and in the case of all
applicants a good showing was made,
only rs per cent of the number fail
ing to pass. There were 600 papers
examined. The subject of arithmetic
was the one which caused the most
trouble with applicants and they
seemed to think the questions I'M
usually hard and catchy. This was
considered in marking the papers.
The markings of all other papers
were done strictly or the merits of
the answers, says the superintendent.
He attributes the good results to the
attendance at teachers Institutes
summer schools and harder study.

The Mcbride Case Again.

St. John, Kan, Oct. 26.-Mr. and Mrs
William Mcbride and Jesse L. Lines, N.
D., have gone before Mr.. George E.
Moore: Notary Public, and have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con:
tirming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcbride.
Dr.. Lines is particularly emphatic in
bis statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and moth
ing else, saved the little boy.
He was, SO bad that he had, Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-p aralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af-
ffected. IT, ,,
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride say.
"The very day we began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills our boy had twenty.se"en OF
cnese Epileptic spells or fits. In less than
d week he ceased having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state
ments have confirmed the whole story. I.

Beautify the City.

The Commercial Appeal voices
the sentiment of The Times, and
touches upon most important
matter in the following eloquent
appeal to the citizens Of Memphis
TO plant flowers, vines, etc, for the
identifying of the city and the ele-
vauon Of the people. We hope
every reader Of The Times will
read, and act accordingly:
The time Is now upon Us whom
people should devote some time
and labor TO identifying the city,
and this can be done best by each
housokeeper constituting himself q
committee of one to beautify his
own home. This can be done and
should be done, A few flowers in
the front yard, bright, cheerful
flowers that bloom and burst into
cbromatic splendors, will trans
form the city into thing of beauty.
A few creepers or vines. morn
ing glories, arbutus, wistavies, cy-
press vines, honeysuckl e-Kilton's
"eglantine" -maderia or score Of
others may be planted to clothe
and beauufy what is naked and
unsightly and can be used to shad c
windows and porches and, at the
same time, convert bald and Bills.
tcring walls into things of beauty
Every one has noticed that few
vines can beautify even the hum
bic cabin of q negro, and on the
authority of Lord Bacon "nothing
is more pleasing to the eye than
green grass kept finely shorn."
Those who beautity their homes
by planting and caring for flowers
not only benefit themselves; but
others, because TO look at flowers
is spiritualizlng. Out oftheir puri.
ty, color and fragrance come many
messages of hopeto the Respondent,
Of charity to the selfish, of gentle,
ness to the cruel, of sweetness to
the embittered, of tenderness to
those grown callous, and of relig.
ious faith to the scoffer and un.
Deliver. The influence of beauty
and purity is not denied and moth
ing is purer or more beautiful than
flowers.

Water Weighs 50 1.2 Pounds to

Editor Times As there are quite a
number Of our citizens at present inter-
ested in the question Of levees, it would
not be amiss, perhaps, to give few facts
considered IN their connection, and some
things that kave tendency to destroy
such structures during a flood
II is general rule in the building of
entertainments that the slope be on its
base II times its perpendicular height.
That is lsvee, so feet high would have
slope the base of which would extend A.
feet outward from a point so feet below
the edge of the slope at the top of the
levee. IT a leyee had a body 10 feet
across and 80 feet high, it would have
distance Of 100 feet through the base and
10 feet across the top, Each foot at
right angle outward from the edge at the
top has a depression OF % of a foot, .
feet, 1-3 feet, and so on till the distance
of IS feet is reached which gives per-
perdicular height OF so feet from the
terminus of the slope at the base.
As water weighs 62 ? pounds to the
cubic foot, it has downward pressure of
its weight and lateral pressure OF one
half OF that amount; the downward vary
ing, Of course, as the depth. A Volume
OF water so feet deep against levee has,
for the first square OF surface at right
angle outward, downward pressure of
20 6 pounds, the second square foo,
62 l pounds; giving difference of

Owing to the great ease with which the
molecules Of water move among them

directions, a bank against which water
rests soon becomes thoroughly saturated
