PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT BOTTINEAU, NORTH DAKOTA, —BY— CHA8. S. McCANDLESS, jfcditbr and Proprietor. SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER ANNUM- Entered at the Postofflce in Bottineau, N. Dak., as Second-class Matter We hear a great many people say that the price of wheat and cotton is is ruled by silver. Maybe it is so, but we have failed to see one single reason .alleged for believing it, as far have gone. as we The Fargo Forum—and other state papers—are criticising Senator Hans brough for quoting wheat in North Dakota at 40 cents. It was below that in this town—not very many moons ago and we are after the senat or's scalp for quoting it too high. N. Y. World: Between minority dictation in the senate and boss dictation in New York, what sort of government is this, anyhow? Just the sort of government you howled for last year, Mr World. A dem ocratic government. Don't you like it? Senator Hansbrough sends us a copy of his speech on the finance issues, and asks that we publish it. Now it is most too long to publish in full but —the senator wants a place for silver and so do we. His speech is well got ten up and his points clear. We never criticised the position he takes —but we did once—criticise him for not taking any position. It's all right now though. The following from the Bismarck Settler contains some strong language, but we believe it to be justified by the facts. No one ca.n deny the existence of a "Millers Association" nor the fact, that (he price of flour is much higher than the price of wheat war rants. But a few days since it took ten buahehrof No 1 hard wheat to buy a barrel of flour, yet five bushels of such grain will make that much flour of the very* best quality. It will be seen by this that the millers have a clear bushel of wheat for every bush el they grind for the farmer, in add ition to the bran, etc., which is sup posed to pay for grinding. Following is the article referred to: Is there any way in which our farm ers and the consumers of the produce of wheat can get relief from the un consionable exactions and extortions of the milling octopus of this state? The Settler has contained pages of matter showing up this great trust. Laws have been passed which were in tended to protect our people against trusts and combinations of this char acter. We have officers elected who are especially charged with the execu tion of these laws, and yet the farmers are plundered to enrich a great corpora tion. We read of mills in the eastern part of the state that give the farmer thirty pounds of flour, five pounds of shorts and ten pounds of bran for one bushel of wheat, while our Burleigh county farmer,can buy with the price of a bushel of wheat, only twenty and one half pounds of flour without any shorts or bran, making, the difference against our farmer nine and one half pounds of flour, five pounds of shorts and ten pounds of bran on a single bushel of wheat. Talk about the rob ber tariff, and the cheap dollar, when our people are subject to this bare faced robbery in the very face of the law. What if our attorney general would lay by the silver question long enough o secure proper evidence and then tackle this octopus that has the gall to raise the price of flour in Bis marck to $2.25 per hundred, while No, 1 northern nets the farmer less than forty-three cents per bushel. A REAL DANGKRi The recent failure of two gigantio loan companies, the Lombard invest ment Co, and the Jarvis-Conklin mort gage Co, brings home to us a danger which, it seems to the PIONEER, is imminent and real. We refer to the fact that these companies, in com mon with some others of the same nature and all foreign companies, hold mortgages on American real estate aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, payment of which will doubt less be forced immediately on coming due. While some of these will be paid off by the own era of the land, it is safe to say that a very large major ity of them will eventually pass into the hands of these foreign corporations. Most of these mortgages are on farm lands, as the Lombards loaned but lit tle on anything el^e, and it seems to ut alarming thai Ob many American Kit V, v homes are in danger from this and like sources. There is danger in the ac cumulation of these vast tracts of land under the management of a fev/ per sons and there is a double danger in the fact that those persons are foreign ers. Yet in view of these facts, our legislators go right along, doing the will of the money power, making it as hard as possible on the one hand to keep out of debt, and j)n the other as easy as possible to |cet into debt. Once in the shackles,^their doom is sealed. I .===--4—- The age ef Reading. The sge is a reading a$e and this cent ury's people are a readingjpeople.

Natural science can tell you in detail absolntely indispensable light is to continuance of any form of life on our globe. It is not the purpose of this para graph, bow ever, to discourse upon the benefits of natural light, but to present some curious facts connected with it, and the numerous artificial means of illumina tion, invented by ingenuity of man. The ancients thought that objects were made visible by something projected fron the eye, and it was not until about 35O before the Christain Era that men began to ask —Why can we not see in darkness? It then dawned upon somebody that light falling upon an object was what made it visible, and that the eye was only a machine for receiving the rays of light and tranmitting to the brain the impressions they give as to the size, shape and colort of external things. The first artificial ligh was probably a burning brand—then a reed saturated in oil, then, the tallow dip, the candle, the oil lamp, the kerosene lamp, g^s, and last and 1 greatest, electric light. Intellectual light is another kind the light needed to guide our actions, and that is furnished by the experience of ourselves or others. If you want light on the subject of travel, everybody's experi ence is clear as the sun that the Burlington Route is the best for all travelers. For information, tickets, maps, etc., address W. J. C.

Sclenee Advances to the Rescue wad Shows the Only Way to Safety—A Possibility That the Coming Man WILL Be Without That Dangerous Organ. Will the coming man havea vermi form appendix? Who has not heard of that troublesome little pouch in the ab dominal regions which serves no good purpose, but is responsible for thousands of deaths each year? Emmons Blaine, Senator Hagan and hundreds of other persons of prominence had trouble with the vermiform appen dix—and they died. Now science is asking in all serious ness whether the vermiform appendix shall be allowed to exist whether it shall not be removed entirely before it has the opportunity to poison and destroy. Professor B. G. Wilder has said flatly that children should be relieved of the vermiform appendix, just as they are vaccinated. But other students in this new field are not yet ready to pronounce in favor of so radical a scheme.. Physicians have known for centuries that the vermiform appendix existed, but it was not until 1888—not until five years ago—that any one of the profession had the daring to make an incision into the abdominal cavity and remove this rank offender against the laws of health. The attack on the vermiform appendix is but five years old, but it is being pros* ecuted with remarkable vigor in Jfew York city, where it originated, and the reason is not far to seek. It is simply be cause physicians feel sure that they have evidence that appendicitis, as disease of the vermiform appendix is named, causes more deaths every year than consump tion, the long acknowledged chief among fatal diseases. The appendix vermiformis in norma] condition is about the size of a lead pen cil and about 0 inches long. It is very well shown in a specimen which was re moved at a clinical lecture at the Post graduate Medical school on Jan. 13. This appendix had ulcerated and in creased in size somewhat, but gave a very fair idea of the part. When perfectly normal, it so compares with an ordinary lead pencil that it is most frequently de scribed as like it. It is a pencil that writes only death warrants. Even today very few physicians out side of New York city have any accurate knowledge of appendicitis or would un dertake an operation for the removal of the appendix. So entirely is the discov ery of the disease and the praper method of treating it an American development of knowledge and practice that among «den&isi« of other countries today af* pendicitis is known as "the Americatr. disease." Since the recent discoveries removals of the cause of all the trouble have been very frequent. One general practitioner has had 48 such cases within a year. Speaking in the light of recent re search, it seems safe to say that appen dicitis is far more prevalent than con sumption, and in just that proportion causes more deaths, the chief difference being that the cause or seat of appendici tis may be removed bodily with success in most cases, and success means restor ation to perfect health. The removal of .the vermiform appen dix in the early stages of an attack of appendicitis is now held to be one of the safest of surgical operations, while such an operation, when the case has come to near its last and fatal stage, is one of the most desperate. The sad case of Senator Hagan is one in point. He had long de sired an operation, but it bad been de layed until too late for an assured sue-! cess. And now, after all these facts are re cited, recurs the question of whether th® coming man will have a vermiform ap pendix. It is not meant by this to in quire whether the coming man will have his appendix slain lest it slay him. A much wider question is indicated. The number of appendixes removed in this City since the discovery that such an op eration could be safely performed is very great, all things considered. One gen- eral practitioner, not a surgical special- ist, told the representative of The World that he had removed 100 appendixes in two years. Possibly' f,000 appendixes have been removed since the first opera tion of this sort in 1888, and most of these in the past three years. What follows? If such a rate is to be maintained, there will soon be a very large proportion of the people of New York city who have eliminated their vermiform- appendixes, and we are glad of it. ... Will the. children of, these people be likewise possessed of vermiform appen dixes? Undoubtedly. But .should the eliminating process be continued for a few generations, how long would it be before this useless and dangerous, de generate and rudimentary portion pf $h© bpdy. is permanently ,bred out of exist ence?—New York World.
