SOMETHING DOING At Linton
Record Automobile Trip BY Physic-
ian - Indian Has Horror of Hos
pitaIs-Good Work Required From
Contractors BY the Northern Pacific
Road - Headed for Omaha.

Linton, Aug. 27.-Bert Chase, with
DR.. Wolverton as a passenger. made
a big trip this week inside of twenty
four hours, on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The doctor was called to the
Pcurie grading camp about seven
miles south Of Ft.r Yates, where a
young lady visitor was sick. They
left here at 5 o'clock p. N. Tuesday
and reached their destination at 8
p. m. AS an auto could not cross at
Yates, the travellers had to go round
by Vanderbilt. From POurie's the
doctor was called to see an Indian
by the name of Spotted Name, seven
teen miles distant. Spotted Name
was bitten by a rattlesnake two
weeks ago. He had neglected the
wound, and blood-poisoning had at
tackled one of his feet and a leg.
The doctor wanted him to go to the
hospital at Yates; but he had hor-
ror of hospitals, and said he would
not go. The doctor and Bert re-
turned home next day. Mr.. Pourie,
the contractor, told the doctor that,
in all his experience as a railroad
contractor, he had never seen as
good work required as the N. P. con-
tracts call: for on the down-the-river
line now building. He also said that
it was no secret with the contractors
that the road was to be built to
Omaha.
The sound of the blasting in the
N. P. railway-work across the river
can frequently be heard quite plainly
in Linton, when the wind is blowing
this way, or even when the air is
still. The distance is at least twen-
ty miles.

A. M. Packard, of Mandan, al
though he hasn't announced his can
didacy for the governorship, replies
to the question propounded by
Nephew Packard, Of the Times-Rec-
ord, in such a fashion that the VAL
ley City Packard declares should sat
isfy the most exacting prohibitionist
Or insurgent. In his reply the Man
dan Packard says: .2i,~
I object strongly to that portion of
the preamble which relates to my
position as president of our city COM
mission, No friend Of mine has ever
stated that "the lid would come of
and the city would be wide open"
No lid has been on for the past two
years under the old commission, so
there is none to take of. Saloons
have been allowed to run on the pay
ment of occasional fines under an
ordinance passed by the former COM
mission and enforced by its officers,
which is in direct conflict with the
laws of the state. The ordinance in
direct terms provides for filming per-
sons engaged in the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors from twenty-five to one
hundred dollars, for each offense. In
practice the saloon keepers were call
ed on about once month to pay a
fine of fifty dollars and costs. This
has been stopped by myself, and the
policemen have been instructed to
enforce the law, and when they have
knowledge OF its violation to lay a

cold water on the committee that
was preparing for a public demon
stration in behalf of the Minnesota
'insurgent' republicans when he
stated that the tariff bill was the law
of the land, whether it was good or
bad time alone could tell, and that
further demonstrations of the kind
in question might not only harm the
persons in whose behalf they were
given but do great harm to the party,
without any proven cause or neces-
sity. Mr.. Jacobson, like a good
many other republicans, ascribes to
every man within the republican
party the right to vote as he sees
fit with reference to matters of pub
lie policy. He does not, however, be-
lieve in encouraging the efforts of
democrats, disgruntled republicans
and Office seekers. We have had in
this country severaI experiences Of
the sort through which we are pass
ing now, and the farmers of this
state particularly had an experience
with democratic and populistic tariff
revision. 1t is not necessary to ad-
NIT that the tariff bill now in effect
ic narfnct If ic hnWoV0r in,
the right direction, and will be fol-
lowed with further reductions where
they can be affected without harming
industrial organization and institu-
tions of this nation. 1t is true, in
this state as in good many other
states, that the tariff bill is discussed
by some newspapers solely with the
view of satisfying some personal or
factional prejudice against certain
senators and with no reference to it's
provisions at all. The people of this
state will have a pretty good oppor-
tunity to judge of the merits of the
tariff bill within the next six months
Or a year. They will learn whether
it is better that the interests of all
sections of the country shall be con-
sidered with a view to the general
' prosperity of the people, or whether
it is better to give ear to the COM
plants Of democrats and demagogues
with a view to gratifying some per-
' sonal prejudice. In the meantime,
we think it is better to avoid the
breaches that may come from disa-
: greement as to schedules, lest we
get democratic congress and a dem
. ocratic tariff 1t is pretty poor pol
icy to promote the party interests of
the opposition, where the opposition
has given nothing in the way of
sound public policy and has nothing
at present to offer except it's desires
to get into Office.

The fact that a correspondent of a
St. Paul paper minimizes the damage
from rust in this state and discred-
it's interviews given out some weeks
as to the loss from this cause, leads,
some of the papers in the northern
part of the state to suspect a pre-
meditated effort on the part Of the
wheat buyers to hammer down the
price of wheat with persistent re-
ports Of bumper crops. At any rate,
the Devils Lake Journal substan-
tiates the earlier reports of rust dam
age with additional statements from
such persons as President Kelly Of
the Farmers road, who states that
the damage has been heavy and the
crop will be much less than expect
ed. Judge Cowan gave testimony Of
the same nature. 1t is to the inter-
est of the wheat buyer, of course,
to promote the reports of heavy
crops and a liberal supply Of wheat
from the spring wheat states. The
seller Of wheat gets a better price
naturally, when crop reports are dis
couraging Between the two the SEN
sible observer will easily strike an
average, and the fact seems to be
that North Dakota has raised a gen.
orally good crop, including wheat
and all kinds of cereals. The crop
is not bumper one, but is big
enough to insure a good return to
the farmers, at far prices.

is A Big CHANGE IN ] !. TO | !
ADVERTISE BISMARCK
COMMERCIAL cLU BWlLL HOLD a
BIG MEETING AT ROOMS ON, 3
- TUESDAY NIGHT. q
10000 People Expected Here During
Registration Time - Chance TOR
City and County to Make Good.

= What does it mean to Bismarck to
have 10000 or more strangers here
within the period of only few days?
1t means that these people will come
from all parts of the country, many
of them from as far east as New
York and New England and perhaps
as far west as the Pacific coast, and
every one of them is looking for land;
they cannot buy anything where they
live, at price they can afford to pay
and they are all trying to get some
thing for next to nothing. The great
er part of them are going to be dis
appointed in getting good reservation
lands and it is up to us here in Bis
marck to show them that we have
got just what they want; that our
lands are as good if not better than
anything they have at home and that
our prices are in the reach Of ALL X
Take Burieign county for instance.
1t can support a population ten times
as big as it now has and if, by proper
advertising, We can show these go
pie, or even a very small portion Of
them, that they can do we'll here and
get them to stay with us, it is our
business to do it.
This is not alone great oppor-
tunity for the real estate men; it Is
the chance of life time for the
business man and property owner.
Every new settler in the country
means an increase in the value OF
land; it means an increase in the
business done by the merchant, bank
err and professional man; it means an
increase in the production OF the
county and an increase in the buying
power of the residents of the coun-
ty.
All we need in this county OILS peo-
Pile; wealth follows the people; there
was no wealth out here until the set
tiers came. 1t is up to Bismarck to
get busy and advertise in every way
it can when all these people are here.
This is the chance of life time and
everyone interested in the growth and
prosperity of Bismarck and Burleigh
county should attend the meeting at
the Commercial club next Tuesday
evening, Aug 81.

NORTH DAKOTA CAPITOL
HAS A unique EXHIBIT
CURATOR FISH SAYS IT IS THE
ONLY ONE KNOWN IN THE
UNITED STATES,
Indian Totem Of Water Mark Has
Been Transferred to Location Near
Roosevelt Cabin.

Curator Fish of the state historical
society, and Prof. A. B. Stout of the
University of Wisconsin, brought to
the city yesterday unique discov
cry which will be placed on the CAPT
toll grounds near the Roosevelt Goblin
The article in question is "stone
turtle" which has had been used by
Indian tribes in this vicinity as either
a Totem "a religious sign for CLAM
or a water mark.
The formation was found on the
crown of the highest hill in the vi
cinity of Sanger postofflce in this
county and was discovered first in
the early SOS by couple Of young
men who were hunting geese. The
shape of an immense turtle was clear.
ly marked by lot of stones, the legs,
head and body of the animal being
clearly discernable. The formation
Is about fifteen to twenty feet in size.
A plan was drawn of the turtle and
the stones were numbered as they
were taken up and will be replacd
on the capitol grounds in the exact
order as found. There is some ques'
ton as to whether it was used as a
totem or a water mark. There are
ONE who hold that 1t was a totem
or q religious sign of some of the In
dian. clans, and others state that 1t
must have been water mark. Num-
erous water signs were placed by the
tribes, and as the head; OF the turtle

good thing for the man who won the
bout. Brown Is not at all backward
about coming forward with the state
ment that he Is the superior of Downs
in the wrestling game and claims to
have thrown him in several bouts. In
speaking Of the. claim he made to the
championship Brown says he won it
in tournament at Kansas City a

KING EDWARDS
SUMMER DIET.

Horace Fletcher, the food
scientist and dietary reform
er, brings from Europe the
news that King Edward Of
England has adopted his ideas
on eating as means of COM
batting the summer heat.
'sIt is wonderful" he said,
'Fthe change which has oc-
Cured in Europe, and espe-
cially in England, in the past
six or seven years regarding
summer diet.
81 found that everybody Is
dieting today. King Edward is
the strictest of them all.
ellis majesty today eats
only the simplest of food and
just enough Of that for
health. He abstains largely
from fatty meats and starchy
foods and holds to- a diet
chiefly Of vegetable foods,
which do not heat the blood"
When asked what his meals
cost in summer Mr.. Fletcher
consulted his expense book
and stated that HIS FOOD
FOR THE PAST FIVE
DAYS HAD COST HIM
$3.OS. 1t consisted of twenty
six quarts of milk, $2.0S, and
twenty boxes of crackers, 81.
This expenditure, he stated,
provides food for two grown
persons and two meals for
five hungry children. King
Edward sometimes follows
this diet, he says. According
to Fletcher, THE IDEAL
FOOD FOR THE HO T
WEATHER is MILK AND
CRACKERS, and he declared.
further that a, healthy labor
ing man could supply himself
with plenty of good, nourish-
ing food for II cents a day.
