stations Divine service is held every
sunday and Sunday school for instruc-
ton IN the Bible follows.
The idea is to get the most intelligent
ambitious, patriotic, high princ1pied
boys that can be found and train them
to become not only sailors but petty
officers Of the navy and the records
show that the western boys are alto
gether superior in each of these re-
s2ects.
Captain Hawley, Of the navy. who had
command OF the Hartford training ship
for several years. has kept a record or
the boys that were under his 1nstruc-
tons, and is very proud of it. Nearly
all the petty officers upon the ships that
participated in the war with Spain We're
graduates Of that training school, ana
had such reputation for intelligence
and efficiency that there was great
demand for them
They We're mostly western country

We're much more INTELLIGENT. OF better
hablts, better education and more self
reliant than the wharf rats that ars
usually picked uD around the seaDOrts.
They take an interest in their work;
lhey are proud Of being sailors: they
have a patriotism and love for the flag
that IS unsurpassed, and can be de-
pended upon for any duty or any dan
ser under all circumstances. They read
the books In the ships libraries; they
subscribe for newspapers and maya
zines, and many of them write regu-
larry for the newsoaDe in the towns

Of men that is wanted.
To get that kind of boys for the an
prenticeships, and older seamen, ma
chinists and men for the other branches
of the service. several parties of re-
cruiting officers are starting out into the
west. and will visit the principal cities
and towns during the next two or three
months, remaining several days at each
place toAreceive applications and exam

DREW PENSION 10 YEARS.
William Scot Had Never Been in the
Army, Either.

Some interesting cases occasionally
come I'D in the pension bureau One
of the most interesting of these of re
cent date has resulted in the arrest O
William Scot, a negro of Horton. Scot
is an old man. innocent of appearance
and in general bearing the typical ideal
of the old wartime darby. There is
reason to believe that he is a victim of
a sharp pension attorney, although his
own completely in the pension fraud Of
which he has reaped the benefits is
what has gotten him into trouble. He
is now in the Topeka jail under sen
tence.
Shortly after the freeing Of the slaves
there lived in LeavenWOrth two negroes
whose resemblance was peculiarly strik-
ing. One was named David Williams
and the other William Scot. Williams
enlisted in a negro regiment that was
auartered at LeavenwOrth for a few
months. and while preparing to be sent
to the front was killed in an accident
on a river transport boat where he was
at work stacking wood to be used ~
fuel Supposedly that was the last OF
him. as is the usual case with men OF
his station in lie.
In 1890 the other negro, who had never
served in the army, applied for a pen
sion under the name Of the colored man
who had been killed in the accident. W.
H KemDer, now grand secretary of the
Odd Fellows was then a notary public
at Horton Scot took oath before hin
to several vouchers and pension papers
~ el11t eatlDNA1CAf 6Af Ait5 HIS tdliip
as David Williams. but stating that he
was unable to write. He was known
about Horton under various names, but
chiefly as Scot Williams. There an
peared to be nothing crooked about his
military record. and he drew his pen
sion regularly for almost thirteen years
The first suspicion of any fraud was
aroused by an application for pen
sion BY the widow of the genuine David
Williams. and a little work on the part
of the secret service disclosed the facts
which caused Scots Judgement in the
Topeka Jail. Unless clemency is grant
ed him the old man is likely to spend
his remaining years in the federal prison
at Leavenworth.

declared, was a pietext to enable the

REV. THOMAS DYKE, a resident
of Sentinel Butte, Trustee Gil
bert's town, happens to know
something of the appointment of
the superintendent of the new
Mandan reform school and has
written an open letter to the Bis
marck Tribune. Mr.. Dyke says
that the North Dakota applicant
had nothing against him except
that he was without training and
experience, while the Minnesota
man had both. If Mr.. Dykes
version of the matter be correct,
as it undoubtedly is, we agree
with him fully in saying that the
board did right in selecting a man
from outside the state. Twenty
odd reform school boys who are
soon to be sent up from the
Plankington, S. D., school should
not be placed in the hands of an
inexperienced superintendent.

A Carload of Hereford Bulls That vii
Please You.

ftedSe 5Ou.
This week o. P. liner returned from
Missouri with a carload of. carefully Sc.
lected Hereford bulls, all registered and
the certificate ready to hand to the pur.
chaser of each animal. People who
buy bulls want the pedigree with the
animal at the time of purchase and this
is what Mr.. liner is prepared to give.
In buying this car of bulls Mr.. liner
visited several of the famous Hereford
herds of the country and purchased only
such individuals as conformed to his idea
of an animal adapted to this climate and
conditions. He placed particular stress
upon securing animals that showed evil
dence of being easy keepers, and also
that they should have broad. level backs,
etc.
If you want to improve the quality of
your herd, as you certainly do, see this
herd of Herefords in R. E. Fuller's new
stables. They have been attracting
crowds of stockmen ever since their ar
rival, and all admit them to be the best
Herefords exhibited in Dickinson.
Mr.. liner also purchased a Percheron
mare and stallion which are attracting
the attention of horsemen. The mare,
"R,bbon," is the daughter of the second
best horse in the country and Mr.. liner
was offered $1,000 for her before he got
her home. He paid $1,000 for the stall
lion.
AT Hebron Mr.. liner has another car.
load of bulls for sale.
