having new seed shipped In from the

made 10 produce a potato as good as
the best. The easoD so far mas been
all that could be desired, and pros

There have been at least three routes

begun. OF course, all must admit that
the Sapelio canyon is by far the east

already up near the top Of min range,

is quite an item. A mile of two cuts

ting race since the time of historic
man. But the statisticians must be
right. Let us . where and how.
They take the whole race in this coun-
try as..the basis of..their calculations,
and therefore, include the class de-
signated as the upper tens" and
these upper tens'' furnish all the fig
ures for the alarming cry that the
race is becoming extinct. It is true
that the women who care more for
what is outside than what is inside
their heads, and whom a box Of lily
white, a French novel, a poodle dog
and another dude make superbly hap
by are not much given to mothe rhood.
Nor are the masculine specimens of
the race, whose glory is their chrys-
anthemums and collars instead of
their intellects and manhood, and who
are a cane sucking, primping, mine
ing conglomeration of effeminated
weakness, who cultivate the Hinglish
hacent and the London lope more than
American brains, and whose only
accomplishment is their knowledge Of
the prize ring and Partisan gowns,
are not becoming the fathers of a
numerous offsrpings. Nor is either
Of these facts to be regretted. 1t is
the elimination of a worthless class
while yet unborn. This process is
Kidding the country Of a class who
trade their dollars and daughters to
the scorbutic offsprings Of Royalty for
a title, and who have no aim in life
except to live, dress and drink. That
this part Of the race is becoming ex-
tinct, cannot be denied. The sooner
it becomes SO, the better. The cities
where this class of intellectual non
entities r principally propagated.
are now drawing upon the country for
the energy, brains and ability to con-
duct the great enterprises in finance,
commerce, the arts and sciences, and
the learned professions. It will be
the same SO long as mothers leave the
care and elementary training of their
children to ignorant and careless nur-
ses while they dispense patent medi-
cine smiles on ogling dudes at fancy
dress balls; so long as fathers give all
their time to fast horses and chappie
clubs, while the minas Of their off
spring, like a bad egg absorbs, from
it's environments, and becomes worse
than its. %progenitor. Better for the
world that the children of such par
ents never be born. This is just what
has alarmed the SCIENTISTS, who fear
the humiliation of the race.

NO q FOR ALARM.

Deacon Davis of the Crazy Courier,
breaches the following sermon, worth
reading:
Much is being written in these
latter days anent8the SO called sociolo-
gical question relative to ultimate
a,nihilation Of the Causassian race.
The basis Of the discussion is the
fact, as determined by the statisti-
clans, that the number of births in
this country is much smaller than the
number Of deaths, and that when the
number Of children who die before
taey reach beyond the years Of infan-
cy, are added to the difference in the
birth and death rate, the question
becomes alarming. No sensible per-
son needs lose time from the lulling
8 nbrace of Morpheus on this score.
The race will never become extinct
from this cause, the scientists to the
contrary notwithstanding. To III this
decpeasing of the birth rate has al
Ssways seemed the salvation and preser-
yation Of the race in its vigor and
purity and the intellect of the nation.
a careful stady Of the matter will
show that the proportion Of births
and deaths among the great middle
class, the Drawn and brains of the
country, the energetic and industrious
element of the race, is about the same
as it has been in the world domina.

DISTRICT JUDGE GOSSIP.

Minot Reporter: Governor White
made a statement to Attorneys Gam
mon aud Sutton, who went to Bis
marck to see him about the appoint
ment of a judge Of the Eighth Judi
cial district, that the appointment
would be made not later than April 1,
so we are sure to have a different
Judge for the remainder Of the term.
Governor White questioned the at
torneys very closely regarding the res
idence of Mr.. Brennan, who is want
ed for judge by every member of the
Ward County Bar Association. Some
one, perhaps Major Murphy, has been
giving our governor instructions re-
.garding his duty but Mr. White is a
man who generally does as he thinks
best after all. Mr.. Brennan himself
was at Bismarck and gave Gov.
White plenty Of evidence showing
that he had established a residence in
Ward county.
No one at this time believes that
L. J. Paldal will get the appointment.
Vic Noble of Bottineau who was said
to be out of the ace and who made
a statement to that effect, is said to be
concerned very much in the affair and
is very likely to be appointed Judge
if Mr.. Brennan fails to receive it.
Noble signified his intention of with
drawing from the race, it is said,
only to insure the passage of the bill
dividing the district, which never
would have passed had he been an
avowed candidate. He has since been
putting in his best ticks comforting
with Jud La Moure down in Mime.

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont I

In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889. the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim
he encountered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check, ana along in
June the case became so bad he expected
to die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last nope. A big dose was
given him while rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help but
feel grateful. The season for bowel dis.
