ANIMAL FOES OF MANKIND
makes Rank First In Statistics as
Our Most Formidable
Enemy.

When a famous Nimrod goes from the
White House to the wilds of Africa to
hunt beasts, large and small, a keen and
wide interest is aroused among millions
OF people by stories of the attacks made,
now and then, upon human victims by
predatory creatures of the forests and the
plains. For grown-ups, as we'll as boys
and girls, there is a peculiar thrill in tales
Of the stalking of men and women by
great cats. In some degree It may be an
instructive fear Of carnivorous beasts which
has come down from the far-off ages
when in Europe, as well as Africa and
Asia, man had to fight for his life against
his many foes of the wilderness.
Even now the wild creatures of the jun
giles, the mountains and the plains take
a considerable toll Of human life. At least
80, 600 people perish every year in India
from the bites Of snakes and the teeth and
claws of tigers, leopards, wolves and other
beasts OF prey. That means about four
times the total mortality in Cleveland. II
complete records could be made Of the
killing OF human beings by Wild animals,
snakes included, in all parts of the world,
the annual death list would probably ex-
coed 1000 a week. In building the Uganda
railroad, over which Roosevelt went into
the interior of East Africa over 600 native
laborers were killed and eaten by ions
Not many years ago wolves killed 200 per-
sons annually In Russia.
But the great bulk Of this formidable
mortality is made up OF victims of snakes
The silent d%estroyers that crawl on the
ground slay at least five times as many
human beings as are killed by lions, tigers.
leopards, wolves and other like foes. The
small, still enemies of man are by far the
most formidable, and the less their size
the more terrible the havoc they cause.
There is no room for doubt that files kill
as much greater number OF human being
than all OF the beasts OF prey, with all OF
the poisonous serpents added. They spread
diseases which slay their hundreds, while
huge and powerful brutes kill single VIC
Tins.
In like manner, the warfare which flies
wage upon human life is less terrible in
its effects than the work OF the unseen.

Scrapping With the Railroad Company
Over the Site for an Eievator-Want
Spur Track Built.

The members of the. railroad com.
mission held a meeting yesterday and
continued it into last evening. During
the day there were several matters
discussed and the question Of spur
track at Judson to make connections
with the elevator of the Judson Mer'
camille Co., was before the board for
some time. It seems that some time
ago the mercantile company asked
permission of the railroad company
to- put the elevator On the right OF
way, but ON account 81 the fact that
there were four other applications
ahead Of theirs the railroad company
thought that it would be enough y

pany> then built their elevator off the
right<of way and started to buy wheat
and are now anxious for a connection
with the road, as last year it was
necessary for them to use wagons to
get the seventy-five carloads Of whear
they shipped, to the cars. The dis
pute is to the amount OF track that
will he necessary, the railroad claim
ing they cannot make the connection
without building at least one thous-
and feet of track, and as the elevator
has to pay the toll they feel that it
is too much and are asking for set
Element through the commission. The
matter has been taken up and de-
cision will be rendered at a later
meeting.
The evening session of the board
was held for the purpose of passing
upon bonds that have been presented
BY the: various elevator companies.
There are a large number of bonds
and the hoard will be in session dur
ing the day today to finish up the
work. T..

He claims that Ulrich has failed to

stated that while he would like to
meet the man in Bismarck he would

" President Conkling of the Bismarck
Commercial club, Informed a reporter
of the Tribune yesterday that the
club had already started things in
connection with the coming rush OF
people who will make Bismarck a
visit when the registration for: the
Standing Rock and Cheyenne Indian

Mr.. Conkling stated that cores.

with The advertising departments OF
the N. p, and the 500 lines, and
that after they have found out the
intention Of the companies they will
start something themselves. 1t is
probable that the two roads and the
Commercial club will work in coop
Grafton in advancing the interests Of
Bismarck as a. registration point, not
only with a view of boosting Bis
marck but for the purpose of advanc-
ing the interests of the entire Mis-
souri, Slope country.
i Neither Of The roads reach any of
the other registration stations, and
they will, naturally divert all the traf-
flee possible this way. The CONNER
cial club has not decided upon what
course they will pursue in The mat
ter as yet. = i. = \ j
During the past winter they did a
good deal of work in calling the at
tention of the government officials
to the advantages Of Bismarck as one
of the registration points, and it is
no doubt in a. large manner due to
their efforts that the Capital CITY
was designated.
There are various estimates as to
how many people will be called here,
but taking the figures of the recent
openings r. seems that there should
be at least $4,000 people here to reg
lister in the twenty days that the
books are open to the public.

Some Puzzles of: Life

h Many things which seem perfectly
plain to one person seem vague, in
definite and puzzling to another per-
son. The unlearned may, not compre-
bend certain things, and the most
learned find many problems they are
unable to solve. The difference is
only in kind and degree.
We venture the assertion that there
is no human being on the face of the
earth excepting, of course, Theodore
Roosevelt), who does not at one time
or another meet up with something
that is puzzle to him.
For instance, we do not see any ex.
cuse for having Fargo Daily News
although We have given the matter
much serious thought, but presume
that the Lord knew more than forty
million years ago that it would be
published and so provided an editor
a. the proper time. 1t is evidently a
part of the plan Of salvation.
An acquaintance of ours married a
girl who doesn't appeal to us. Per
haps he knows why it happened. We
don't.
The merchant sells stale eggs at the
same price fresh ones should bring;
and what shall it profit him if he gain
the whole world and lose all his chick
ems?
The banker charges the fellow VINO
can't afford it, twelve per cent in
terest but charges the wealthy ma
bob only eight per cent and collects
in full from both. Verify, this is a
puzzle we have meditated upon for
many years. =.
The doctor prescribes dough pills
for the patient who earns only one

The same complaint is told that he
needs an immediate operation that
will set him back on the exchange

When you take you: case to a law
yer he will listen attentively 20 what
you have to say, scratch his head
over the right ear and endeavor to
appear as if in profound thought.
Then he will take down a volume
from the five foot library, brush The
two inches of dust from the top, look
carefully over the index and appendix
and inquire how your crops are this
year and whether you have more than
ten chattel mortgages on your Two
COWS. After that he tells you he
thinks there is no question about the
winning of your case provided the
right kind of jury is secured, and also
provided the court isn't prejudiced,
and that no person appears ON the
other side. Possibly he will say that
there is a very slight chance of losing
