The house passed what is called the
Galveston plan Of city government
yesterday and doubtless the bill will be-
come law. 1t leaves the matter entire
ly optional with the cities and none need
adopt it that are satisfied with what they
have got. 1t is understood Valley City
and one or two other places will take
steps toward trying the new system and
it IS hoped that some city may adopt it
as the experiment would be watched
with interest all over the northwest.
South Dakota has passed the same law,
practically, and it is understood it will
be tried by some of the cities of that
state. Even if the plan is not adopted it
will act as club over boards Of alder
men, as its provisions for bringing ii
before the people for adoption are SO
easy that if municipal management is
not satisfactory the system can be expe.
difiously changed.

THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSE 10 ! !: !:

Near Alexandria.

it Was Built on the Island o. Pnarosi
Near Alexandria.
The first lighthouse ever erected toi
the benefit Of the mariners was that
built by the famous architect, Sos
tratus, by command Of Ptolemy Phila'i
tlelphus, king Of Egypt. between 80 90
247 B. e. It was built near Alexalll d d #
oman island called Pharos, and there
was expended upon it about 300 tai
ents, or over million dollars.
81 Ptole1ny has been much commended
by some ancient writer's for his liberal
ity in allowing the architect to inscribe
his name Instead of his own. The in.
scription reads, Sostratus, son of Dex.
iphanes, to the protecting deities for
the use Of seafaring people. This tow:
er was deemed one of the seven Won
ders OF the world and was thought OF
sufficient grandeur to immortalize the
builder.
,s It appears from 5Lucian, however,
that Ptolemy does not deserve any
praise for disinterestedness on. this
score or Sostratus any great praise foI
his honesty, as it is stated that the
latter, to engross in after times the
glory of the structure, caused the in
scription with his own name to be
carved in the marble. which he after,
ward covered with lime and thereon
put the kings name.
In process of time the lime decayed,
and the inscription on the marble alone
remained. Ss -

ciFIc IN HIS ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST MERCHANTS

ss Mr.. Farmer Of Frances in the
Bismarck Daily Tribune Of February
2sth, appears to have an effected
liver and should at once send to
Sears & Roebuck for some patent
medicines.
IL you have been skinned by any
merchant why do you not make your
statements specific. and state when,
where and by whom You were so
skinned, sign your name to 1t like a
man with the courage Of your con-
victions, and not try by your innuen.
does, to prejudice the farming com
#munity against the merchant under
scover-ofs a Farmer. Every Bismarck
merchant is catering to the farmers
trade, for they know he is perfectly
reliable and will meet all obligations,
and they also know the only way to
get and hold their patronage is to
give a dollars worth of goods for his
dollar. It is not one transaction but
the continuous collective trade with as
small margin as is consistent with
good business. The prosperity of our
business houses positively show that
every customer is a satisfied customer.
Now, we will, on behalf Of the mer-
chants of Bismarck, without connect
ing one. request you to attack any
price of any merchant, and through
this paper will make comparisons.
and further we will take up your
article, statement by statement, and
show you how ridiculous you have
made yourself, and also show you that
you do not represent in any particular
the farmers views. But you must
make your identity plain. . Z.

The National CAPITAL.

It is claimed that Washington is the
#cleanest city in the United States. If
they were go disposed the ladies' might
wear their best afternoon gowns on the
street without having them soiled. Tie
general cleanliness Of Washington is
due to the noticeable absence of fac
tories with their soft coal smoke. and
the asphalt streets are kept SO clean
that there is little dust or dirt IN tae
air An almost forgotten fact Is that
Washington was first called Rome, ana
a creek which flowed through the site
Of the city was spoken Of as the Tiber.

The Eavorite Girl.

She Is the girl who is not too bright
and too good to be able to find joy
and pleasure all over the world, says
the Chicago News.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice Of everything in the world.
She Is the girl who Is not aggressive
and does not find JOY In melting ag-
gressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will
cause the skeleton In her friends, closet
to rattle his bones.
u She Is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy. finds
no fault with the weather.
& She is the girl who when you invite
her to any place compliments you by
looking her best
She Is the girl who makes this world
9 pleasant place because she Is So

can be done for us in regard to-
trouble we constantly have to put up
with while we are on our claims. We
are very much annoyed by parties
breaking in our shaeks. If we leave

find windows and doors broken in,
and everything on the interior
smashed and destroyed, in short, the
place is made uninhabitable. We are
getting tired of refurnishing the.
place and do not see what we can do.
The damage seems to be done by
neighbors, and we have reasons to be-
lieve so; the remarks are made to us
frequently that newcomers are not
welcome, and they make it as un-
pleasant in every way as possible.
They will not do any work for us. Be

shacks in blizzard, because of lack
of coal, as no one could be had to
