Progress of State Capitol

Pierre Dakotan: The plasterers be-
gan work upon the new capitol Mon
day morning and from that .ime the
finish of the interior will be pushed
with all vigor. There is a stop to
the stone laying upon the dome un-
til the vast reinforcement of steel is
in place upon which the dome proper
rests. There are hundreds of tons
of this, which now is nearly in place
and the stone will be resumed. Some
citizens are concerned about stains
that appear upon the outer walls of
the buildings and believe they are
due to the use of an inferior grade
of cement used in the structure. Su-
perintendent Lea informs the Dako-
tan that these stains are due to the
flooding of the cement floors by the
heavy rains last summer, the over
flow running off through the walls,
but that they will all brush out.
That for laying the sandstone, only
LaFarge non-stalning lime has been
used, an imported article and the
best for the purpose known. Mr.. Lea
has no apprehension but that the
building will come out as clear and
beautiful as the government build
ing is. Some di%scoloration is due
to coal smoke from the hosting en-
gines which have worked from the
beginning close under the walls, but
that is entirely on the surface.

cry, for the smooth working of which
he is to be held responsible.
One effect the presidents policy,
once it is generally understood and
in good working order. will be to
save him from the mass of detail
which almost swamps a chief execu-
tive If he will permit it to do so.
Members of congress will soon find
that they must deal directly with
the department heads If they wish
things accomplished, instead OF car
rying every request and every COM
plant to the White House; and so,
too, with that portion Of the public
which has to deal with federal de-
partments. AS a result, the presi-
dent hopes to obtain sufficient time
to give to the more important affairs
of the government that attention
which they demand.

Indians Start a Bank.

Spokane, Wash, April 5.-Indians
of Nez Perez tribe which, under
the leadership of Chief Joheph, led
Generals Howard and Miles such
merry chases almost a third of a CEN
fury ago, are organizing a company
to establish a bank at Fort Lapwai,
Idaho, southeast of Spokane, in
which the chief business will be with
redmen, who are to receive approx
imately $150,0O0 from the federal
government this year as interest and
moneys due them Oh the sale of their
lands. The bank will have a paid-up
capital of SIS, 200, Of which $12,-
900 is held by Indians, five shares
being the maximum allotted to any
single individual. The board of di-
rectors will be Indians, with Corbett
Lawyers, a graduate of Carlisle. as
cashier. He is now clerk in the Of
fee of o. H. Lipp, agent on the res
ervation. Others interested are Ed
ward S. Riboyn and Thomas Moore.
Most of the Indians on the reserve
are wealthy through the sale of their
lands and many of them have ac-
counts in banks in various ports of
the northwest. 1t is expected that
the bank will have deposits of $780,
900 in a short time. This is the first
institution of its kind in the Pa
cifc Northwest.

TAfT's new METHODS
Leaves Details to Cabinet, But He
Insists on Results.

Washington despatch to New
ready taken occasion to make clear
to the members of his cabinet the
general policy of his administrator
with reference to the several depart
ments and their respective heads.
He has told them that he expec.s
each member of his cabinet to as
sumo all responsibility for II ex-
ercise supreme control over his de-
partment and that he will hold each
head of a department responsible
for it's conduct. He has emphasized
the fact that he wants results and
has neither inclination nor time to
deal with minor details; hal he has
chosen the ablest men he could fad
for the several portfolios and that
he has full confidence in them; such
being the case, he is more than pleas
ed to leave to them the methods by
which they shall achieve the import
ant results which he expects of them.
To be wholly consistent in his pol
icy President Taft has assured the
members of his official family Il at
he will leave them free to select their
own assistants without personal or
political influence from the White
House. He has explained that he
realizes it would be unjust for him
to hold his cabinet officers respons-
ible for results, while, for political
reasons, he dictated the men on
whose assistance they rely for the
success of their respective depart
ments, and while assistant secretar-
les and similar offices are "%presiden-
tial Offices the president will exer-
else his prerogative only in appoint

to the department heads.

We have become so free with our
offers for credit, that it has given q
wrong impression of IL business !.
that we did not need the money, ana
thai it was no imposition to eNpect
us to give time on everything OF from
six months to a year, that II profits
were so eXorbitant that we were
willing to take almost any chance il
we could only make the sale. ] do
not need to tell you that this is an
romeo impression. You know it
but the only way VIC can convince
our customers of the error of their
ideas, is to stop our foolishness and
compel them to pay us their mone>'
when they buy from us. When We
do this, l am convinced that most CT
the troubles we have will pass away.
1t will nc doubt take somewhat Of
a struggle to bring this about, but
I believe in the end it can be done,
and that the result will be worth the
effort.
What this great prairie country
owes to the retail lumberman and his
generosity, is not possible to estt-
mate; for the development of this
country, settled mostly by poor pee
pie, without homes OF the money
with which to buy them, the policy
of almost unrestricted credit, has
perhaps been a necessity, and per-
haps has done as much as any one
thing to build up the country. AS 1T
has in the past enabled hundreds OF
homesteaders to stay, where other
wise they would have had no place
to stay. Has enabled them to use
their small capital to buy horses,
cattle, seed and machinery and dc
velop the farms that otherwise could
not have been developed. But it an
pears to me that the necessity fer
this has passed. Now, the average
farmer has as much or more unem-
ployed capital as has the lumberman.
1t is no longer necessary that we
should furnish money without inter
est, that these men may keep their
money in good investments.

to bring about tho happy change in
our conditions, that | have prophe-
sled might be made. l have merely
sought to bring 20 your attention
some of the evils of our present sys-
TEN, and of the benefits that might
accrue from better business methods
on our part. And bear in mind, that
a man seldom complains of the thing
he has paid for, but the thing he has
bought and still owes you for, is his

COULD RIDE A BRoNcnC
Travelling Salesman Made Good u,
Bronco Busting but Failed in
Selling His Goods.

Puk wanna Press: Thursday of this
week White Lake Learned to enter
tain a higher opinion of the ability
OF a commercial salesman than il
heretofore possessed. And it all
came about in a manner that was en-
tertalnlng and unique. A salesman
for an Ohio pottery house struck o"r
sister town and got a cold turn every
turn. This made Ernest Antry sore
that is made him mad and a little
discouraged in the bargain. Sauntel-
ing about the town with his eyes riv-
eted down the steel stretch to the east
in hopes that a train would hove in
sight and carry him out of town he
accidently hunted into a group of
fellows talking about horses. Antry
may it be known, was raised on the
famous 81. T. L." ranch in Texas.
He's a travelling man-in his own
words, eff l am not a travelling man,
I'm travelling After listening to the
horse discussion for a time, our sales
man friend concluded that since he
couldn't sell crockery, he'd butt into
the game that he knew something
about, and this is about the colloquy
that followed:
why don't you break your
horses?"
"Well for the simple eason that
there amt anyone in the country that
wants to tackle the job"
Got some pretty bad horses, have
you?" questioned the gentleman from
Texas.
"Well, yes; we got a bronx out
here that will make an outlaw just
as sure as any one will ever tackle
him. He's six years old and never
had a bit in his mouth.
"Never been saddled?"
sNope-should say not"
why don't you gaite some n to
ride the brute? CANT you do it?"
"Aint been able to yeti"
Hearing the horseman. telling what
they don't know about bad horses
made the salesman tired, and though
dressed in black tailored suit, i'm
maculately up-to-fashion in general
attire, Antry rather shocked the
hostlers when he suggested that if
they would saddle that bronx he
would show them that though he
fell down selling c%rockery, he'd make
a good job Of riding, or buy the
treats for the town.
1t wasn't to be wondered at, per-
/ haps that the mans sanity was ques.
toned. His shiny bald head, his well
creased trousers, the perfection OF
his general attire, made him seem
that he might be able TO dance i'll
quadrille or conduct himself crediblJ
in a minuet, but to ride the vicious
pitching. bucking bronchial pass
ed all understanding. After more o.
less protestation and general specu
lation whether or not the drummer
would back up his claim, four mel
were found to throw the horse, sad
die and blind fold him. Without an.
ado, Andry slipped into the saddle
and the circus started. Taking thu
derby off his head the salesman
whipped his $500 Stetson to piece
over the horses head. The horse trie'
every maneuver known to a bronze
to unload its burden, but the sales
MAJ stuck, and amidst cheers cam
out the victor, and the horse tired Q
the game became meek as a lamb.

REDps EXPERIMENT.
Out of It Grew the Great Fabric of the
 Germ Theory.

Out of k Grew the Great Fabric of the
 Germ Theory.
 1t was a fixed belief of the ancients that many living creatures could come into existence in a spontaneous fash ion, to which allusion has often been made, The true beginning of the germ theory arose out of a ludicrously sim pie observation made by Redi, Flor entine physician, about the middle of the seventeenth century. He debated with his confreres in Florence the question of the origin of the maggets appearing in decomposing meat. The old view held, of course, that the mag gots were bred within dead and pctre- flying substances. Redi. taking a piece of meat, covered the mouth of the jar in which it was contained with piece of fine gauge. He beheld the flesh flies, attracted by the smell of the decaying meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft CT the manner of their kind, in the de composing substance. The gauge, how ever, kept them from effectiug this natural object, with the result that the eggs were laid on the surface of the gauge and the maggots there matched out, while the decay of the meat went on uninterruptedly without single maggot appearing in its substance.
 On this childishly simple experiment the great fabric of the germ theory of today was founded, for if the law of universal percentage applied to the case of maggots and meat it was clear, ar grsd Redi, that it must apply unfver- sally. Subsequent experimentation proved the words to be true, and so to- day, when our attention is focused upon germs or microbes so minute that we might accommodate many hundreds of thousands of them on the surface of a postage stamp, we again come face to face with Rcdi's first principle that each germ could only have sprung from preceding and parental organ ism.-Brooklyn Eagle.

 Adam got his rich, beautiful and distinctive style from the ruins of the Emperor Diocletian. at Spalato. As a finish to interiors he conceived the idea of using figures in relief upon wallss colored and adorned according to Raphael's Stanze painted flat upon the walls of the Vatican. His idea was as bold as its result was beauti- fnl He also adopted Pompeifan styles of decoration.
 Adam was artist as well as archi- <fect. and his walls. ceilings and inte- xior adornments are marvels of har- monious colors," says an architect, He employed no less personages than Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi to paint many of the panels and medallions let into his ceilings, and it was his habit to have carpets woven to match the pattern overhead and harmonize with the color there employed The key note Of Adams style Is movement combined with perfect artistic fitness, and it is peculiar for its grace and 9tatelinass..New York Tribune.
