cial Ashland, Ky, special says: This
noon 25 men, being partly intoxicated,
seized an engine and car and weut to Cat
lettsburg against the advice of sober men
who last night gave up trying to get the
prisoners from the military. When they
reached Catlettsburg they made no effort
to capture the prisoners who were safely
placed on the steamer Granite State at 3
p. N. The crowd then hastened back to
Ashland and about twenty of them went
to the ferry boat, and, by use of pis.
tolls, compelled the captain to pull out to
intercept the Granite State Their atti-
tude was so ridiculous and their case 50
hopeless that the affair would have been
farce but for the reckless discharge of .
little revolver IN the hands of one of the
boys on the terry boat. 1t was answered
at once by a volley from the soldiers.
Balls pierced the boiler and the escaping
steam completely disabling them. BY
this time great crowd had gathered on
the banks and on horses. The soldiers
turned their guns on them and fired
without provocatiou. Here the mischief
was done. Only three were wounded on
the ferry boat while all the others in the
casualty list were of peaceable people
On shore there were killed Geo. Kee-
nan, Jas. Mcdonald, COL Relppert, in

John B. Raymond, the candidate NJ

John B. Raymond, the candidate NOM
mated by the republican territorial con-
ventlon at Grand Forks the 9th of Sep
tember, was in town yesterday. Mr..
Raymond is one Of the people of Dakota.
He Is a farmer and is identified with the
industrial and producing interests of the
territory. He has no element of the
professional politician about him. He
used no tricks Of the politician to obtain
the nomination. He did not 60 to Grand
Forks and wlre-pull and hob-nob to get
the nomination. While that conventio n
was going on Mr.. Raymond was busy IN
his harvest among the laborers, and one
of them, on his farm. The nomination
sought the man, and found him, as we
have said, in the harvest field. A man
who is gentleman in every sense of the
term, and true blue, thoroughbred Da-
kotian. That Is the kind of man the
republican party of Dakota psesents to
the people of Dakota for their support
and votes.

COL. LOUSBERRY On BISMARCK.

The Bismarck Tribune has reached
point IN forbearance where that trait
ceases to be 4 virtue, and is now opening
its battery upon the impediments in the
way Of the progress OF that town IN a
way that shows it means business. Col.
Lounsberry IS man among men, noble,
generous and forbearing, but he has now
set out to clean the Augean stables whose
name and odor have for years been drag
ging down the name and fame of that
town against the indefatigable and un-
flinching labors Of the Tribune TO build
1t up If the colonel has made any mis-
take it would seem to be in postponing
the day of judgment so long; but the COL
onel has evidently put on the war paint
now, and he is pouring the hot shot into
the camp of the enemies of and clogs to
the progress of the town in a way that
will tell in its effect Bismarck has
hard name all over the country. How
much 1t deserves this unenviable distinc-
ton We do not personally know. In vain
attempt to save the name of Bismarck the
Tribune, as it says, has suppressed the
publication of the dark deeds that have
been committed there; but this did not
keep them from the public, and coming
to the public through verbal report and
tradition, exaggerated as such reports are
liable to be, they have damaged the name
and reputation of the town far more then
If the facts had been published. Every
good citizen and conscientious journalist
will sympathize with Col. Lounsberry and
sustain him in his efforts to raise his town
out Of the dregs and set it upon a sure
foundation Of progress, and to do this it
| must be cleaned of the dead weights that
keep it down. Day before yesterday in
ringing editorial in the Tribune the COL
onel made the formal declaration of indie
pendence and yesterday followed it up
with another the first paragraph of which
| is as followed: -.
Tho Tribune has been in position to hear more
Of the stories that are reported by travelling men.

those seeking investment in this county, than our

ries Of druggcd liquors. Of doctored cigars, Of

times with afadavite attached, but they have been

B. w. BENSON.

This gentleman, who is one of the can
didates nominated for the lower house of
the territorial legislature by the republi-
can convention of the Fourteenth dis
trict, was in town yesterday on his return
from visit out to Bismarck and Mandan.
He reports everything working harmonl-
ously in the republican ranks in that part
of the district, as they are, with few IN
dividual exceptions in his own county,
Barnes Blr. Benson has been a citizen
of Barnes county for nearly five years,
and Is prominent and influential citizen
of Valley City in that county. He has
gwen his time and his money and his
brains to the development of that county
aud through that the development of
North Dakota. He holds the position of
vice president Of tho First National Bank
in that enterprisiDg town, and is IN other
ways connected with the business inter-
ests Of the county. Mr.. Benson IS a man
of much more than ordinary intelligence
and ability, and as member of the terri
torial legislature will be able to secure,
or very materially aid in securing, legisla-
ton important and valuable to the inter-
ests of North Dakota Haying all the
necessary intellectual qualifications and
being good citizen and man of good
repute with his fellow men for his honesty
and integrity of principle, and being the
fairly selected and regular nominee of the
republican convention, he is entitled to
the hearty and undivided support of the
party throughout the district, and the
Alert feels safe in assuring him that he
will get such support from the republican
party of Stutsman county.

Sustain Tie Law.

The recent case at Newport suggests the
thought Of word upon the subject of
sustaining the law and the officers of the
law. 1t is the duty of every good citizen
to aid and encourage the administration
and execution of the law, and support the
officers of the law in the discharge of
their duties. If a law is olious it should
not therefore be resisted. The law must
be supreme and be obcyed and enforced
as such. If an officer exceeds his powers
under the law the law; affords the injured
person or persons ample remedy and re-
dress, but resistance to an officer IS in no
way legal redress, and such a thing should
not be countenanced by any good citizen,
much less encouraged either by word or
act In new country the law is not usu-
ally so stringent as in the old and thickly
settled states, nor is it so rigidly enforced.
The nearer people are brought together
the more liable they are to infringe upon
each others rights, and vice versa, hence
the more dense the population the great
personal and property rights, at least un-
IT, the maximum of settlement and popu-
lation is reached. 1t is but natural that
this should lie, for the reason that their
"elbow room,' as it is expressed, is being
rapidly contracted and the scope of liber-
ty is being diminished by the constant in
Production of new parties and inhabitants,
each one Of whom brings with him the
| "lnallenable rights of an American citi-
zen which are entitled to respect by all
Others 1t is therefore important that
people should recognize these facts and
accommodate themselves to them. And
! On the other hand it is the duty of every
citizen to aid and assist in the enforce
ment of the law, and to compel those to
obey the law and recognize the rights OF
others who otherwise will not.

A mother Kills Her own children.

| a uOCner Kills d0f Ovvn Gnu 0100s
New York, Oct. 31.--Mrs. Samuel
Seguin, age 36, wife of DR.. Edward G.
Segnin, noted specialist on diseases Of
the brain, killed her three young children
this afternoon and then killed herself, at
No. IL West Twetieth street. There il
no other cause known for the horrible
| tragedy than insanity of the mother.
The children were Edward, aged years,
John, aged S, and Jeanette, 4 years.
They were all shot through the head and
instantly killed. The morther's death
was as sudden as theirs. A frightful fea-
ture Of the tragedy was the manner Of the
murder. Mrs. Seguin took the children
to an empty spare room at the top of q
five'story house in the absence of her hus-
band, and when the servants were en-
gagged in the basement, locked herself
IN with them. The servants believed
they had gone out for a walk. What
happened in the room will never be
known, but when DR.. Amidon,
Mrs. Seguln's brother, called at O'Clock,
and with his suspicious aroused by the
long absence OF the family made search
of the house, the mother and children
were found dead, all shot through the
behind their backs with whip cord. They
were blind folded with handkerchiefs and
from all appearances they must have been
shot while playing biindman's buff, with
fl,air 6o0n fnp of
least an hour and half and were quite
cold when discovered. Three pistols were
found in the room, all heavy calibre and
had been used. Mrs. Seguln had been
despondent from physical causes for some
time, but she had shown no existence of
insanity. She was small, slim woman
of nervous temperament. Her domestic
life was very happy and there was no
family trouble. DR.. Seguin returned
home about I, and, upon hearing the
dreadful news, was utterly prostrated. He
is in a state of mental distress and under
the care Of physicians. DR.. Seguin is
| noted specialist in cases Of insanity and his
father was equally so. His wife was the
daughter Of a Massachusetts farmer. The
couple moved IN the best society. The
family lived IN five-story brown stone
front English basement house, and ele-
gantly furnished. The room in which
the tragedy took place is on the fifth floor
and is scarcely ever used by the family.
Three servants in the house noticed, dur
the day, that Mrs. Seguin was in more
moody condition than she had been in for
several weeks, and which her brother, DR.
Amldon, termed ''The blues.' About
eleven he called upon her and she said
she did not fell well. Vixen Dr.. Amidon
entered the room where the trageday oc-
Cured a horrible sight met his eyes. Al.
most in the middle of the floor lay the
dead body of the eldest boy, Edward, in .
pool Of blood, partly in the closet.
Mrs. seguin, grasping, in her right
had big pearl handled revolver. Inside
the closet lay the boy John and girl Jean

The 100000 Hotel.

OF the 100000 proposed for the new
hotel on the corner opposite the Grand
Central $50, 900 have been subscribed and
hardly doubt now remains that the
other $40, 900 will be raised. Mr.. Klaus
proposition was to put $4,000 into the
house himself if other parties would make
it 100000. So sure is the enterprise that
rock for the foundation IS already adver-
tised for, and there is scarcely doubt but
that with the opening of spring and per-
haps before, a commencement will be
made on this magnificent structure that
will be monument of fame to its projcc-
tors and of glory to Jamestown. Great
as has been the building boom the past
year the indications are that next year
will surpass any period of our past history.
1t IS certainly an encouraging sign of the
future when such men as Mr.. Klaus will
put $4,000 cash into hotel, and still
more so when capitalists will raise the
amount to 500, 200 and erect a building
that would be 4 credit to the city of Chi
cago, and which would be money thrown
away if the town and country should go
down as the Chicago Times and other
skeptical publications pretend to think.
Everybody that lives in this country, and
nearly every intelligent person who visits
it haye faith in the future of both the
town and country which they are willing
to back up with their money, and under
such condition of things, with agricul-
tural resources of the country that are
demonstrated beyond all cavil and doubt,
it is not within the range of reasonable
probability that there will ever be any
retrogression of this country. The value
of town property, generally speaking,
has steadily increased from the very COM
mcnccment of the town, and is now III
creasing at the same rate The boom of
jamestown has but fairly commenced.
