WARD OF RICHLAND

From the fertile prairies of
the Red river valley, where for
many years he has been busy
garnering of this worlds goods
from the rich dirt of Richland
county, comes w. E. Ward.
He has never before been in
Bismarck nor the Legislature.
but h e is pleased with the
Capitol City and glad that the
political lightning started him
in this direction. Like all the
men from the valley he is very
retiring and modest and leaves
to the records his deeds in law
making, but in the meantime
all who meet him will find one
of the most genial of men. one
who will surely make good and
be a credit to his country. Mrs.
Ward and daughter will arrive

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Morgan as Art Collector.


 U. Pierpont Morgan, who is abroad for the purpose of listing United States Steel stock on the Paris bourse, takes time to indulge his taste in art and pick up rare art treasures said an art critic
 Mir Morgan's latest purchase is prob ably the finest example outside of Spain of the Gothic art of that country in the fifteenth century. It is a re-table or supra-altar Ca shelf rising from the altar on which are placed eandlesticlSs, vases etc0 made of alabaster. The Paris cor respondent of the New York Sun describes it as follows: It is composed of superb reliefs set in recesses of exquisite arehi- teetural motive and surmounted by three scutcheons, of which one bears in relief the attributes or insignia of the Passion of Christ, and the others the armorial distinctions of the celebrated Archbishop D. Dalmacio de Mur of Saragossa Q4s1- 1456).
 ." It is the most important piece of Cat alan sculpture that has ever left Spain, and one of the most beautiful examples of the mingling of Gothic or Flemish ex- ecution with Arabic or Moresque influ- ence. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for which this great work is destined. will be the envy of every museum and public collection in the whole of Europe. Not one possesses a like treasure, and nothing in Spain surpasses it, not even the great relief of the high altar of the Ca thedral of Tarragona'

The Museum Feature.

'The Public library is indebted to MT. Fremont B. Finch of the Tennessee com- pany for the first contribution to it's mineral collection" said a visitor to the library. MT. Finch has taken great in- terest in the proposed collection of native minerals and a day or two ago donated some fine specimens for a beginning.
 Museum and art sections are features of many of the most progressive libraries, notably of the Carnegie library of Pitts burg, which has one of the best museums in the country.
 "A museum section needs a permanent and representative display of native min erals, where the people may see them all the year round. Prive collections might well be donated to the library, or, at least, placed on deposit there. Notable speciments in the hands of private cit izens should be added to the collection. It Is understood that some of the State Fair officials, are going to assist in making this collection and that the good offices of the state geologist will be invoked
 ''The management of the library reports a demand for this sort of thing, and states strangers often make inquiries as to where specimens of Alabama minerals may be found. The Public library man agement purposes to be able in the near future to answer all such inquiries in the very best way

Surveys of Alabama Soil

Out of 51 1,540 square miles of area in this state 19,4S2 square miles have been treated to soil surveys, and the remainder soon will be, provided the states does her part. The work is well advanced, and when it is completed he who runs may read what every county in this state is capable of producing.
 Soil surveys will serve a useful pur- pose, provided they are put in the hands of men in the middle west who are seeking new homes in a milder climate. Any county can well afford to reprint it's soil survey for a wider distribution in the middle west.
 The fact should never be lost sight of that ont of 32,9S5,OO0 acres in this state in the last census year only s. 654 ,991 were improved. One-quarter of the state is under cultivation, and three-quarters of the states goes un- touched and unfenced. The three quarters is not as a rule even common grazing ground.
 And yet there is not a state in the union that relatively contains fewer rocky of uncultiyatable acres-fewer acres that are undrainable. There are hills in Alabama but no mountains that are steep and inaccessible, and the swamps of the state can be drained. The fact remains, however, that three fourths of the state is uncultivated, while millions of white people are land hungry seeking new homes. The soil surveys are at hand in many coun- ties, and they should be reprinted to be scattered broadcast among home. seekers, especially in the middle west.

ATE HUMAN FLESH.
CannibaI King Who Devoured Nine
 Hundred Tender Females.

From the New York Press.
 Anthropologists, whose study is man and his prehistoric ancestors, believe that all existing races of men in a wild or savage state at times ate one another, and in modern man science sees traces sin his thoughts and habits of ancient cannibal ism. Fiji Islanders in the time of Captain Cook, the renowned explorer, were the fiercest man eaters that modern history knows anything about.
 Some of the South Sea Islanders and Africans ate their enemies as a religious form in order to absorb their courage, strength and longevity. But the Fijians. handsome race of human gourmands and gourmets, epicures if you please, ate both friends and enemies. Their greatest praise of delicacy was to say that it was as tender as a dead man. They were even so fastidious as to dislike the taste of whites, and preferred the flesh of women to men. The upper arm, thigh, saddle liver and brain were their choicest roasts and tld- bits. Noble human flesh was too precious for women to eat.
 At the Kings feast enemies were always upon his table Slaves were stall-fed and systematically fattened for market Ten der and juicy females were often roasted alive and eaten at once. But tough old warriors were gamed and softened until "high' before cooking.
 King Undre-undre is said, : riding to Lord Avebury, to have eaten 9G0 himself. being too greedy and ambitious to share the roasts.
 None of this could be laid to lack of food. At one feast to the god of war were seen 10000 yam potatoes, six to 12 pounds each; 30 great turtles, 15O giant oysters, as big as washbowls, etc., and many puddings-one 21 feet in cir cumference.' Man meat was called "uaka bulava," which means Hong pig. Family wars, feuds and discords were as bad as in some respects modern families. It was against the law for brothers, sis ters, first cousins and father and sons in-law to speak to one another or eat from the same dish.

A Business Survey.

Any one who travels and sees as much of the business world as I do notices the marked improvement in trade and the cheerful feeling among all classes of merchants and manufac- turers,' said L. R. Marston of St. Louis.
 "Within the past three weeks l have visited Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, and I have been in the south since last Monday.
 Business conditions are improving everywhere. In the industrial centers of the north thousands of wage work CTS who had been idle for year or more are now finding employment.
 And l m glad to see that the in- dustrial situation in the Birmingham district Is growing better. The fact is that Birmingham looks wonderfully prosperous. If the coal trade has been dull and some of the large manufac- turing plants have not been running to their full capacity there has been. ever since the panic a great deal of stir in certain industrial lines in and around Birmingham. To begin with the pig iron market Is firm and has been so right along. Prices are low but the tone of the market Is altogeth- CT sound; and since the early part of the year an enormous iron tonnage has been contracted for. The cast iron pipe concerns were able to run throughout
