A NEW YORK State Senator is being
lauded because he refused to take bribe
of$SO,OOO to vote against the anti-race-
track rambling bill. And that's right.
Let the laudation go on. There can not
be too much of it. Everybody condemns
wrongdoing and faithlessness in public
officials and that's right, too. But where
do you find any great laudation of the
man who courageously stands out against
the bribe-giver and who renders honest
service to the people who haye entrusted
him with high and responsible office?
Ofcourse he only does his duty, but why
not give him proper praise and not only
encourage him to be true to his trusts,
but likewise furnish an incentive to
others to be like him? Don't be too stint
ing in giving praise and laudation where
it is deserved.

WE again draw nigh to the anniversary
on which our citizens will decorate the
graves of the soldiers and sailors of the
Civil war. Each little mound at which a
grateful people will bow contains the
fragment OF a former generation, which
was torn from the bosom of society by the
red Molech of War. A few of their COM
rades now old and feeble, who passed
safely through all the vicisstudes OF that
bloody struggle and to whom this cere-
mony means much will be present at
each cemetery in the county to assist in
the patriotic services of the day. Others
of that generation, who are yet living al
though not actively engaged in the COM
bat will be reminded by this anniversary
of those terrible days when our land was
ploughed by the fiery plough share OF
war in whose smoking burrows the seeds
of loyalty and devotion were cast that
will bear a rich fruitage if carefully
nourished for all time. Let the day be
fittngly observed by all our citizens, in
that spirit that will impress the young
with a sense ofthe great services rendered
to humanity by the sacrifices of the mer
of 1861 D, and follow their example at al
times when our country is imperileC
either by lUes from without or within.

DEAR SIRs:-A few years ago, New
York daily got-up great agitation for
dollar gas, and got it, The State passed
the law, and the people liked it, of course
till the bills come-in. The bills were
bigger, not less; the law didn't say what
the gas should be.
The price of a gallon ofhonest paint is
$l,75; but there's paint all the way
from 50 cents to sl,75. A popular price
is 81 .25; there are scores of "paints" at
that price. Like dollar gas.
IfS175 is the price of a gallon of honest
paint, you may be quite sure there are
scores of"paint" at all prices from that
down, with paint enough in them to pass
for paint. And what are you going to dc
about it?
1t takes from 50 to 81 a gallon to pay
the painter for doing his work. Is il
worth while to pay 81 to S4 gallon fol-
brushing-on paint half whitewash?
No; the expense of that extra and use.
less labor makes counterfeit paint cost
more than true,
The remedy is Devoe. There are eight
honest paints; Devoe is the strongest one
of the eight.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT gave an exhibi-
ton of his versatility as a linguist this
morning. Representative Watson, of In
diana, took to the White House some
friends from the Wabash district and also
several foreigners who are en- route to
Baltimore to attend the conference of
Methodists. In the party were churchmen
from Italy, France, Switzerland, Hol-
land, aud Germany. The President
charmed his visitors by talking to each in
the callers native tongue. First he sur.
prised the Hollanders by a cordial greet
ing in Dutch. Some gutteral German
was handed out next, and then a spark
ling dialogue ensued between the Pres.
dent and a Persian. The President
wound up this display of his talent by
exchanging adieus in Italian and the WIS.,
itors passed out filled with admiration for
the Presidents varied accomplishments.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iDtlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condl-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Dickinson Experiment Station
Doing Good Work. Short
Sketches of Tests Now Be-
ing Made.

The future of North Dakota, and
the western portion in particular, Is
revealed and reflected as In q mirror
to the visitors at the sub-experiment
station at Dickinson. Only q small
idea of the benefits this bureau Is &C.
complishing, and will accomplish in
the future, can be derived from a tour
of the farm, but no M can fail to
see in the great variety of expert
ments and tests now under way, that
the farmers of this community and
state will soon owe much of their sue
cess to the work that Supt. Waldron
and his assistants are doing. The
station is yet in its infancy AMI has
only begun to accomplish results. In
five years it Is safe to prophesy that
the name of the Dickinson experiment
station will be widely known and its
influence of inestimable value to the
people of western North Dakota.
The scope of the station is as yet
limited and many valuable expert
ments are now only in prospect. Supt.
Waldron is devoting his attention to
grains, believing that the agricultural
wealth Of the state is one Of its great.
est assets and that the problems OF
farming in the way to secure the best
results are troubling the farmers more
than any other questions.
The farm contains 100 acres and the
greater part OF it under cultivation
is divided into plats one-fourth OF an
acre in area. These are devoted to
experiments in the raising of products
in rotation and cover a period of three,
five, " and ten years. All kinds
Of grains are used in all combina-
lions possible and under all conii-
tons Of soil, fertilizing, etc. The
crops used include wheat, corn, oats,
barley, millet, alfalfa, peas, clover
and several other varieties.

Alfalfa Growing.
Prof. Bonne1eld gave his talk on al

one of the most important talks and
much Of the future Of the state de.
ponds on this crop. 1t is one of the
best feeds for any class Of stock. 1t
is not bad for horses unless they are
allowed to eat all they want. Fed to
them intelligently, alfalfa has no
equal. It also has a large growth, and
in Montana on irrigated lands an
average of from 5 to 6 tons are grown
on an acre. 1t is a soil-enriehing crop
and a s%oil-feeder.
1t Is primarily a dry land crop and
is deep-rooted, yielding under dry con.
ditions, 3 tons an acre. 1t Is cut In
September and the roots appear dry
and dead. But in the spring it comes
up again and yields a good harvest.
Being so d%eep-rooted, the roots are
kept alive. Once the kind of alfalfa
best adapted to soil conditions is
learned, it will be a leading crop. The
experiment station here is carrying
on many experiments with alfalfa.
The speaker told of a piece of alfal.
ia grown in Montana in the dry sea-
son without irrigation. The first
year it was plowed and seeded, II to
Is pounds to an acre, and then thor.
oughly cultivated. That year, from
January to January, there was only
six inches Of rainfall, of which 3 inch
es was in June. The crop grew IL
inches or more in height and was cut
down and the stubble narrowed. It
was apparently dead, but next spring
it came up again. There was no rain
until April, and about 4 inches in
June, making only 9 inches the whole
year. The alfalfa grew to - and Is
inches in height and an average. Of
nearly three quarters of a ton per
acre was cut. The next year there
were good rains-a little above nor
mal-and the crop was ~ tons per
acre.
Alfalfa is not adapted to rotation
and the stations are trying to find
something that will rotate with it. Too
much water rots ami kills it. The
crop is disced every spring and after
each cutting. In this part of the coun.
try it is usually necessary to innocu.
late, and this must be done when the
plants are a yellowish green.

$1,000 For a Birds Eaq.

Most of masculine America at some
time or other in its career has ''hunted
birds eggs" but few of all those who
have tramped hill and dale, climbed
towering trees and peered into hedge
rows in search of the fragile shells,
realize that in the far corners of the
world. there are men who are spending
their lives in the pursuit of those very
eggs or others more rare. SO writes
Harry Fl. Dunn in the Technical World
Magazine for February
The tangled jungles of equatorial
steppes of northern Asia have felt the
pressure of their tireless feet; they
trace new trails across the Saharas
of the globe and on the spreading
Pampas Of the New Worlds southern
continent while the distant islands Of
the sea are secured for new speci-
mems in bird skins and birds eggs.
Swinging on slender threads of rope
from dizzy cliffs that lean above the
lashing waters of the rough North At
lantic, they CLEAN rare sea birds eggs
from inches in the rock wall which
these winged wanderers call home:
from the tops Of sky searching pines
they take eagles eggs. while the brave
parent bird hurls themselves in vain
fury against their daring enemies.
From caves far up in the face of steep
cliffs in the western Sierra they gath
er the solitary egg of the California
vulture, the largest bird that flies.
and in the iungles of the tropics they
risk their lives amid fevers and pois-
onous reptiles and vindictive natives
in search of rare hummingbirds and
other gorgeous feathered jewellers in
the warmer lands.
The writer tells some very interest
ing stories of birds eggs and egg hunt
ers, including one of the $1,000 eggs.
which is the hearts desire of the coll
lections. Excellent photographs illus

SLEEPING CAas De LUXE.

New Type on ar Express Fitted With
Rooms Tastefully Finished.
On the Shore line Of the New York
and Hartford railroad a new style of
sleeping car has been adopted for the
midnight express, says the New York
Times.
Instead of the loerths being separated
from the rest Of the car by curtains.
each passenger will be able to obtain
compartment which approaches in
size the average size single room in Il
hotel and fitted with toilet con-
veniences. There will be ten of these
in each compartment. with two berths
in each room The rooms will open
out on corridor running the length OF
the car and may be taken in suits.
Doors open from one compartment to
another, so that members of the same
party will not be separated.
In the new cars rare woods have
been used. In one apartment the fin
ishing is in tiger wood, which resem-
bles the markings of tiger. In an
other wood from the Philippines is
used, of which the experts at Wash
ington have not yet determined the
origin and species. Jigue wood. Span
ish mahogany and coubaril are other
of the unusual tnishings which have
been employed to make these cars lux
urious and comfortable
