APPROPRIATIONS.
Bismarck,' N. D. Feb. 23—Special
Correspondence: The house section
of the capitol has been fumigated
and all danger of contagion from
smallpox has been eliminated. Some
members were badly scared Satur
day afternoon. Members had nothing
to do today, no session being held
in either house or senate out of re
spect to George Washington, whose
birthday was yesterday and observed
today.
The senate committee on appropri
ations met Saturday night and agreed
on all the amounts to be given on
bills introduced with the exception
of the state fair It was decided to
appropriate $50,000 for the St. Louis
fair as provided in the original bill,
members of the committee believing
that if the state is to have an ex
hibit at the fair it should be a good
one. W.N Steele of Rolla and State
Auditor Holmes were added to the
managemment of the fair from North
Dakota. It was agreed that the ap
propriation for the high school bill
should be fixed at
110,000,
there to be
no inspector as had been provided in
the bill. The militia appropriation
was fixed at 819,000 a year instead of
820,000 as originally -asked. The
carriage appropriation for the gov
ernor was cut from 84,000 to 82,500.
Other appropriations were fixed as
follows: Completing records in state
land department 83,000 John Ries
beck 8750 services unorganized coun
ties C. E. Gregory, services unorgan
ized counties, 8400 State Historical
Society, 81,000.
The house appropriation committee
met Saturday evening and decided on
the following appropiations: James
town asylum bonds to the amount of
8123,250 as provided in house bill No.
150 introduced by Mr. Fried. The
money to be derived from the sale
of bonds is to be used for the con
struction of additional buildings at the
asylum. The Senate appropriation
committee cut the amount to 855,
000. The house bill will come up for
a vote at an early date and its advo
cates claim it will pass that body
easily. Senate Bill No. 102, Lewis,
providing for |,the issuance of bonds
to the amount of 8135,000 for the
state agricultural college at Fargo
was recommended to pass also. The
money derived from the sale of the
bonds is to be used to erect additi
tional. buildings at the college. The
bill will undoubtedly be parsed by
the house and duly approved so that
the buildings can be erected this year.
The committee decided to fix the
militia appropriation at 818,000. The
bill introduced in the house called for
82,000 more per year and the senate
committee fixedJhe appropriation at
819,000.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entrely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition iof the mucous ser
vices.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo,
O. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall's
family pills are the best.

ROSES AND ONIONS.
Harry Flint writes from Seattle,
Feb, 20: I was in Victoria yesterday
and a more delightful trip could not
be imagined. We found a quaint old
town over seventy-five years old, de
cidedly English, except for the China
town end. There are many points
of interest here, including the Gov
ernment buildings, fortifications,
parks and drives. Here you find
green grass, young onions growing
out of door and occassionally a rose
bud pushing out. We secured sev
erval souvinirs, including Alaskan
and Indian baskets. I fear that there
are several species of trees and birds
that I have neglected but I have
tried to pump everyone to the bottom.
The resources of this island are
very limited. 1 asked our cab driver
what they lived on and he said:
"Each other and the tourists".
They have immense coal fields on the
island but the farming is primitive,
the land being very stony. They
have one short railroad on the island
and use Chinamen for brakemne.
Here is where they dump all the
Chinamen.

SELF-CONFESSED ROBBER.
Man Wanted at Detroit Surrender*
to Denver Police.
Denver, Feb. 24.—A young man
giving his name as Fred J. Fox
walked into the police station Just
before 1 a. m. and said he wanted to
aurrender. He told Captain Lee that
he was wanted in Detroit. Mich., for
the theft of 822,500 worth of dia
monds. Fox said he worked for
Charles Rice, wholesale and retail
Jeweler, and often made large pur
chases of goods for him.
About six weeks ago he says he
went to the firm of Horace W. Steere
and got possession of diamonds val
ued at the amount given above. Then
he left the city and went to Kansas
City, where he disposed of the dia
monds for 817,000. He came to Den
ver, he says, a month ago and had
814,500 when he reached here. He
says he still has the money and will
use it in trying to get out of the trou
ble. The police have telegraphed the
authorities in Detroit asking if Fox is
wanted there. When searched at the
Jail not a cent was found in Fox's
pockets. He smiled at the captain
who conducted the search and re
marked that a day sooner would have
netted a different result.
