1882 was the total sum set aside
by the committee on public proper
ty for janitor service and misceIlan-
eOus items at the court house during
the ensuing year.
The county Jail received a severe
slap on the right eyebrow from the
state board Of control recently who
called attention to the improper vent
ilation Of that retreat" and the neces-
sity Of installing two shower baths for
the guests. Other repairs recommend
ed by the state board are two coats Of
paint to the interior, new bedding,
toilet in the bathroom and etc. A
committee of three will be appointed
to look after this.
Keys in the hands Of citizens to the
court house layatory will do them lit
tie good from now on as a new lock
will be put on and keys issued to only
those employed by the county.
The register Of deeds will get a new
typewriter, desk and electric fan and
various other items of no particular
moment will be cared for as nar

ARE COYOTES IMPORTED
TENDENCIES OF WILD LIFE IN
WEST GRANT INDICATE SOME
THING OF THE PIND.

That the festive western coyote, or
prairie wolf, otherwise scientifically
'kaown as CAMS latfans, has been i'm
ported into Grant county for some
purpose or other is indicated by the
appearance of trapped and shot foxes
in west Grant townships.
George Brown, chairman Of the town
of Melville, had two cases before him
last winter where the foxes showed
typical coyote strain. The pelts were
brought in for bounty and Mr.. Brown
examined them carefully. They show
ed the fox traits in the mouth, ears
and body, but around the loins the
color was that Of a coyote and the tail
was exactly the same as on the pure
breed Of that animal
It is thought by some that some can
ny hunter brought the coyotes in with
IT, lea Of letting them run wild and
6 with the common or garden var
il Of Grant county fox.
ne Of the old hunters, as every
0. Knows, are pretty sharp,
"a wolf industry is another ono
tn shows no tendency Of ,anguish-
ing. According 10 one authority on
WILD thing3 the old hunters and trap
pers would consider it a dissertation
to Kill lady wolf. The males draw
equal bounty $500 and a male gets no
mercy iii Weldon just as little in fact
as the human males do.
This expert on nature says that the
female wolves are so carefully taken
care Of by the old hunters and trappers
that they lay around the dens and see
that no harm comes to the source OF
their much revenue. In fact, this
sharp claims that old hunters have
been known to slip into the caves and
fix things comfortable for the old lady
wolf, even going so far sometimes as
to take their Sunday dinner around
and see that an occasional rabbit OF
chicken is left at the den.
A resolution was presented at the
county board meeting last Thursday
night taking the bounty entirely of
foxes. This at present is So for fe-
males and $3.50 for males. If such :
thing as an industry exists this may
"bust" it up.
LATER Resolution was tabled.

CHANGING her Spots.

She was sobbing softly and he was
very much annoyed. He. didn't like
faint hearted women anyway. They
had been long enough married-si&
lnonths-for him to assert his preroga-
tive as the master of the household
"Oh, keep quiet! You act like a
baby said he by way of beginning
81 don't know what you're crying about
anyway"
She told him between sobs. "Why-
why, you said-said Ill was freck-
led. And-when you and | we're
were lovers you-you-you saw these
same freckles, but you called EN- beau
ty spots then"

The Best Philanthropy.

Be sure that you give the poor the
aid they most need, though it be your
example which leaves them far be
hind. If you give money. spend your
self with it and do not merely aban~
don it to them We make curious mis-
takes sometimes Often the poor man
is not 50 cold and hungry as he is
dirty and ragged and gross. Il
There are 9 thousand hacking at the
branches of evil to one who IS strik-
ing at the root, and it may be that he
who bestows the largest amount OF
time and money on the needy is doing
the most by his mode of life to pro-
duce that misery which he strives in
vain to relieve.-Thoreau.

The "Sans CuIottes."

The epithet sans culottes," which
means the men without breeches," o.,
the trouseriess." and referred to tie
ragged condition Of the Paris poor,
was first used contemptuously by
Maury in he national assembly to de
scribe his opponents. Is SO often hap
pens with contemptuous nicknameS-
wings" for instance-the popular
party caught up the opprobrious cpl
tibet and wore it with pride, and it
came to be the general name of the

The Rose In History.

Every continent Oh the globe, with
the exception of Australia, produces
wild roses. There can be little doubt
that the rose is one of the earth's
oldest flowers. In Egypt it is depicted
on a number of very early monuments,
believed to date from $500 to 5000 3. G.
Rose water, or the essence Of roses, is
mentioned BY Homer in the ''Iliad,'
and the aliusion made to the flower
in the Proverbs of Solomon indicates
that it was well known to the early
Israelites.

Precious Sawdust.

Sawdust is being put to an increas-
ing number OF useful purposes. Used
as an absorbent for nitroglycerin it
produces dynamite. Used with clay
and burned it produces terra Gotta
brick full of small cavities that, owing
to its lightness and it's properties as a
noncOnductor, makes excellent fire
proof material for walls or floors
Treating it with fused caustic alkali
produces oXalic acid; treating it with
sulphurfc acid and fermenting the
sugar so formed produces alcohol: mix
ed with a suitable binder and com
pressed it can be used for making
holdings and imitation carving If
mixed with portland cement it pro-
duces flooring material.

NEW REAL ESTATE.
COMPANY. FORMED
f. E. Young Incorporates BUSH
ness With Capital Stock of
$4,000.
SEVERAL LOCAL MEN
JOIN ENTERPRISE
Energetic Campaign Will Start
for New Settlers; To Adver-
tise County.

Yesterday afternoon the real estate
business OF F. d. Young was merged
into the F.. E. Young Real Estate com
pany, new corporation, with cap
Ilital stock Of $4,000. The incorpor'
Iators are F. E. Young, JOS. Breslow
|and R. c.. Battey. The officers will
be: F. E. Young, president; Joseph
Breslow, vice president, and H. F.
OHare, secretary and treasurer, WA
G. B. Little, F. E. Young, A. B. Olson,
H. F. O'Hare, Joseph Breslow and 4.
G. Battey as directors, besides whom
a number of other prominent business
men of the city are stockholders.
This will. be one of the strongest
real estate companies in this part OF
the state. It will have ample capital
to handle any deals which may come
up. The company will handle both
city property and farm lands, both
as owners and agents, will make loans
and write insurance.
Mr.. Young's business since the
first of January has totaled some
100000, and has become too much
for one man to handle. The new COM
pany plans an extensive advertising
campaign for Burleigh county and will
go out actively after new settlers. A
man will be kept ON the road in Iowa
and Minnesota. and other states drum
ming up business of this kind. An
other man to look after the city bust
ness exclusively will be engaged,
while the. country business will be
looked after by Mr.. Young and others.
The real estate business in Bur
leigh county has Jagged behind that
of surrounding counties and this sec
ton has not been getting it's share OF
business or settlers. Our prices are
lower than almost any place in the
state, actual values considered and
it is the idea of the men forming this
company that now is the time to rem
edy this so far as is possible, and an
energetic campaign for new settlers
will be entered upon Immediately
The company also plans to assist
local farmers and their, sons and the
tenants of the county to get lands on
as reasonable payments as lis posi-
BILE and will work up a good list Of
lands which can be sold on either
crop payments or very easy cash pay
ments. A big list of city property
to be sold on very easy payments VIII
be secured also and the man Of small
means will receive equal treatment
and courtesy as the capitalist. The
formation of this company is anothfr
step forward in the progress of BIS
marck and Burleigh county and if the
plans of the company work out it will
mean an advance in values Of every
piece of real property in the county.

He is bachelor In times of peace
he was too busy preparing himself for
war to devote any. time to social at
fairs.
When the war started he was put
in command of brigade in the First
army corps, though he still kept his
rank as colonel. His brigade distin-
guished itself in the retreat from
Charleroi to the Marine by the savage
ferocity with which it repeatedly turn
ed and beat back the Germans.
Petain was promoted to the general
division just before the battle of the
Marine. When he met the badly dis.
organized Third corps at the Marine
he took command at once
Sitting on his horse beside the
bridge, pistol in hand, he made every
man look up at him as the corps
marched past. He. did this to ia:
press upon them that they must look
up to him as the embodiment Of au.
thority.
Petain had been promoted to the
command of an army corps before he
took Carency and pierced the German
front. BY that masterful piece OF
Leadership he won the regard of Com.
mander-in-C Chief Joffre. After Petain
smashed the Germans at Champagne
