Effect Of the Tariff on Prices.

jamestown Alert: Some of the
candidates making speeches around
the state. who are not experts on the
tariff, but who echo the political
views of other politicians. are
severely criticising the tariff law
passed by the last republican con-
gress, and charge, among other
things. the high cost of living TO
the operation Of the law.
This charge has been often and ex-
pressly denied by many men who
have spent years in the study Of
economic conditions. and the effect
of tariff and other causes on the cost
of living or prices for food products.
Prof. j II Shepard, dean Of the
North Dakota agricultural college.
and Colonel J h. Power formerly
president of the agricultural col
Iegel. were in Washington recently
and testified before congressional
committee as to the causes of the
rise in prices Of living Both men
are qualified to speak on the sub
jects Prof. Shepard is regarded as
an authority on political economy.
and has tables and figures to show
that the tariff has nothing to do with
the upward trend of prices, and that
the farmer is not getting more thar
his share. Middle men and world
wide conditions are responsible, he
claims, and not the tariff.
If this is determined to be tht
fact. much of the wind will be ex

prevailed from 1890 to 1900.

prevailed from 1890 to 1900.
Every farmer that kept books in
that period of political turgescence
and industrial catastrophe should
turn back to his accounts and ex.
anime the prices he got for what he
had to sell, and then compare them
with the prices he is receiving fol
the products he is now selling. II
he contracted debt IN those times
and most farmers were obliged to
do so then when he expected to pay
it from the proceeds Of wheat sales
at from 30 to 60 cents bushel. il
will dawn upon him that he is now
paving the debt from the proceeds
of wheat sales at ST bushe. In
other words, $1,000 debt of that
day, with tifty-cent wheat, is in
effect a $500 debt now withSl wheat
How is it possible for the polit-
lcal agitator to convince the farm
ers that. if he is elected to office. he
can better these conditions. Isn't il
more rcasonab to apprchend that,
10y his continued agitation. while
he might better his own condition
in getting his name ON the public
payroll, the farmer, by encourag
ing the agitator. will again pay the
penaly of low prices And would

in the near future, with tifty-ce

But the agitators will tell the
North Dakota farmers that they re
ceive no protection under republi-
can tariff policy The answer on
the part of the grain raiser will be
found in atable of prices that have
compiled from the telegraphic mar.

The prices are of four principa! art

MAD KING OTTO'S LIFE

Some remarkable details relating to the mad
King Otto of Bavaria are published from dip
lomatic source by the Giornale dItalia the London
Chronicle says. Though shut up for forty years
in castles, now at the Castle Furstenried, and
though sixtytwo years of age. Otto is still f1ne
handsome figure, with a magnificent beard and
flowing gray locks.
The stories about his periodical fits Of fury are
quite untrue His court is presided by Mar
shall Baron Redwiz and consists of few trusty
gentry belonging to the most ancient families Of
the Bavarian aristocracy
King Otto suffers terribly from insomnia and oft
en- sits up in bed half the night staring toward the
door, as II expecting somebody to enter He how
ever, rises punctnally every morning at and mute
ly allows himself to be dressed by his valet He
has holy horror of soap and water and of hav-
ing his hair and nails cut, that servants have
to await patiently favorable day for these opera
tons, whe1 the poor patient is in state of COM
plete apathy. King Otto smokes incredible guam
titles of cigarettes and is always putting away save
when he is absorbed in his favorite pastime OF
studying tbs operate music of his pet composer,
Verdi Often he causes the castle to resound all
day long with the melodies of "Rigoletto"
The diplo,pat relates that the first symptom of
brain decay in the young prince, till then so
bright forceful and courageous, manifested
during the ErancoGerman war. Just before the
seige of Paris Kaiser William summoned him to the
headquarters of the general staff and kept him un-
der observation, in company with Bismarck and
Moltke the reason being that King Otto had called
out squad of cavalry and ordered them to charge
straight at stone wall, which, he insisted, was a
body of the enemyA infantry.
He began preaching everywhere the stern neces-
sty of concluding ysace with France at any price.
Soon after intercepted letters were brought to the
Emperor William which the Bavarian prince had
been dispatchng secretly to the enemy 1t was
then the old kaiser sadly sent for the demented
prince, decorated him with the order of the iron
cross for service rendered in the campaign and
packed him off under medical escort for pleas
ure trip in Spain and italy.

Curari a Queer Poison

Curari, the vegetable poison with
which the Indians of the upper ANA
zon tip their hunting arrows, remains
a mystery In its composition after a
hundred years Of investigation by sci
entists. The Indians will sell it for
It's weight in silver, but will not reveal
the plants from which 1t is derived.
Not long ago professor in a German
university was sent to the Amazon
wilderness for the express purpose of
discovering the secret. for curari, or
urari, as 1t is otherwise called, is now
thought to be of great value in medi-
cine. The professor lived two years
In Indian villages, and while he was
permitted to witness the boiling Of
the witches BROTH" which lasted sew
eral days, he could not tell what
plants went into the brew. Returning
from his baffied quest down the Anna
zon with quantity of the poison, the
professor was met by another traveller,
Dewey Austin Cobb, who had got pos
session Of native blowgun. The lat
ter tells In the National Geographic
fessor's curari on some of his blowgun
arrows, which are like toothpicks
feathered with cotton, and tried it on
a buck deer in the forest.

such a word for the little puff, scarce
ly heard by us, and entirely inaudible
above the rustling corn leaves at the
distance of the deer. The animal gave
slight start as 1t felt the prick of
the arrow on its flank and turned part
ly around, shifting the air for a scent,
and looking about as IL searching for
the insect that had bitten or stung It..
Detecting nothing, 1t stood still and
unbalanced. At the end of a minute,
or minute and half at most, its
head dropped little, as If 1t was
sleepy.
when the hunter saw this he arose
and stepped out in plain sight. The
deer turned his head and looked at
him, and moved forward, not away
from him, few steps, and stopped. 1t
showed no fear, but simply curiosity
After another minute the professor

quietly to within reach Of it. It made

little. It's movements seemed per-
fectly easy and natural. Absence of
fear was the only observable change.

more; then it lay down, not falling,
but as naturally as a cow or sheep
when ready for sleep.

the hunter laid hand on it's shoulder
1t looked UP at him, but showed no re-
sentiment or fear. Even its breathing
seemed easy and natural, which sur
pr1sed me, as had heard that death
resulted from paralysis of the lungs
when caused by urari."
