standing business in the Sun Fire Of London. The
Weekly Underwater says:
In the past two years Its premium income has much
more than doubled, while its surplus has made but
very slight increase. Its management could not hope
to Keep up ts business and hold its already small
plus intact. Much less could they hope to increase
the business which already getting top-heavy. 1t
seems to US the management has taken wise course
in putting their business under flag where technical
bankruptcy is not the inevitable accompaniment Of
actual prosperity"

The Work Goes On.

In answer to the question: What part
of Jamestown is building up most? the
Alert can only say this: When you look
in one direction you would be likely to
note IN your memorandum that that part
Of town is improving most rapidly. Then
when you look IN another direction you
feel impelled to make the same memo
randum as to that, and so on till you have
looked in all directions, and your indecis-
ion has been merged in confusion. Then
you will go up on Capital Hill where you
can take in the whole town at a glance
when you Will arrive at the definite and
correct conclusion that the town is i'm
proving about equally IN all parts and
with rapidity marvellous to behold
From center TO circumference, in all d.
rections, may be seen the dwelling or bust
ness house in the course of construction
and in all stages, from the foundation to
the driving of the last nail. The mason,
the carpenter, the plasterer, the painter,
all have more on their hands than they
can do, and still the calls upon them are
constantly coming in. Building, build
ing, building, is going on wherever you
look But the same business activity is
found in every department and avenue
of trade. We have no loafers nor do we
have use for them or room for them.
Everybody here in on the alert and reads

Yellow Back Literature.

I A slxteen-year-old boy who had taken
a course Of reading in dime novels of
the yellow back character at st. Paul,
exemplitied his novel education, by imag-
inmg himself jealous of his fourteen year
old sweetheart, and in real attempt to
make a hero of himself by killing her.
Failing in this attempt to make himself q
hero of a future dime novel, he turned the
weapon upon himself and closed his ca
reer, by providing the coroner with q
subject for inquest in his own body.
Such heroes are about the kind that vel
low back novels produce. Puppy loves
and revolvers are dangerous combina-
ton in the hands of children. But this
is only one case among hundreds of Young
lives wrecked through the baneful 'influ-
ence OF these cheap works of fiction.
They are menace to every household
and every family circle, and more so from
the insidious manner and false pretenses
under which they are circulated. They
are poison to the young mind, and every
family head should guard against them as
pesti1ence, and burn them whenever
found about the house. Works of fiction
which inspire the nobler feeling of the
heart to action, aud stimulate virtue and
moral integrity, have their proper and
useful place in literature, but the blood
and thunder trash has no proper place
except in the stove as soon as they come
from the press.

Decoration Day.

The 30th of May each year is appointed
and set apart as the day for the annual
decoration of the soldiers graves in all
parts of the union, and so universally is
the day observed that congress a few
years ago made it national holiday. 1t
is a beautiful, deserving and patriotic
manifestation of gratitude to the the SOL
diers who fought the battles for the pre-
servation and perpetuation of the union,
and should be continued and observed in
commemOration of their services. We
have no soldiers graves here to thus honor,
but we can observe the day in some ap-
propriate way. We suggest that the peo-
pie in this vicinity observe it by planting
out trees. Let every person commemo-
rate the day by planting out trees on their
premises, if not more than one or two, it
will be that much, and plant as many
more as possible. They can be brought
here by that time and it will be in good
season for planting them out. Just ina
gine the effect upon the traveller passing
through or stopping here ten years hence
to see the streets lined and residences
shaded by beautiful trees. 1t would add
hundred per cent to the value Of prop
erty, IN the eyes of the caste m man,
and be a hundred per cent more pleasant
and comfortable to the citizen. Ever
greens and forest trees will grow luxu-
riantly here and few years attention
to their cultivation will make jamestown
the paradise of the James River Valley.

Excursion Ratas.

The Alert is informed that the Northern
Pacific has perfected its arrangements,
and General Passenger Agent Barnes, one
Of the most accommodating railroad men
in the West, announces that round trio
tickets for excursion or exploring parties
can be had at all stations of importance
in Canada and the States west of New
York, to jamestown and other points
still farther west on the n. p. r. r.
These tickets will give stop-over privi-
leges and be good for forty days, at the
lowest possible rates. This will afford
the people in the States fine opportunity
to visit and view the magnificent beauty
of natures unadorned scenery of the
Great Northwest traversed by that stu.
pendous enterprise, the Northern Pacific
railroad, which is to span the continent
from LakefSuperior to the Pacific Ocean
and has already ope ned up to civilization
and industry millions of acres of the most
beautiful and fertile lands the eye of man
ever beheld.

Two Iowa lawyers.

~ AWV 4OVaS 40SWyOSOs
Hon. Roderick Rose of Davenport has
been prospecting North Dakota at inter-
vals for three years, in search of locs-
ton. Every part of this marvellous region
is so much superior to Iowa, that he found
it hard to decide upon any particular To-
cality. He bought farm in the Goose
River country, he rented an Office at Far
go but he has finally determined to locate
and remove his family to Jamestown which
he says, offers greater combination of
advantages and of pleasant conditions
with fever unfavOrable. Mr.. Rose is oneIof
the leading lawyers of Davenport, was
twice Mayor Of his city and the candidate
OF his party for congress. It is not his in
tention to go into general practice here
and it is rumored that he will be associated
with President Wells of the James River
National Bank in some enterprise of great
value to all Northern Dakota
- e fz}1 HON. w. A. LYNCH f
for many years Of the firm of Martin,
Murphy s. Lynch, leading corporation
attorneys OF Davenport, came to Dakota
with his friend Rose, to learn if his glow
ing statements were warranted by the
facts. "A weeks investigation has proven
SO satisfactory that Mr.. Lynch has also
determined to remain permanently in the
future capital and has formed partner
ship with Mr. s. L. Glaspell who is we'll
and favorably known throughout this
county.
Mr.. Martin, the senior partner of Mr..
Lynch's firm is President of the strong
company recently organized to complete
rail road from Davenport through Iowa
and to some point on the Northern Pa
clfc. In connection with this fact, the
visit and location here of Mr.. Lynch NAV
have more than ordinary significance.

The Declining Indian.

Yesterday afternoon as the Alert editor
was going down Fifth Avenue, he saw an
aged Indian leaning up against the side of
building, meditatively and intently
watching the splendid passenger train of
the Northern Pacific as It steamed out Of
town on Its way westward. The old In
dian needed not the busy pale faces that
throngcd past him in the pursuit of
their various avocations. Perhaps his
mind recalled the days of his childhood
OF early prime when, with, war painted
cheek, and tomahawk and scalping knife
in hand, he sailed forth to resist the
westward march Of civilization and the
encroachments of industry upon his hunt.
ing grounds, and perhaps many a scalp
has dangled at his belt, and he has seen
his comrades bite the dust by the unerr-
ing shot of the scouts rifle. Those DAYS
of Indian happiness and glory, if such it
may be called, have gone forever from
this region. The mounds over the graves
of their fathers are fast being leveled
down by the pillow of the pale face, aud
the indian is a stranger in his own land.
He has fought against fate; he has resist
ed the progress of civilization; he has
been overwhelmed by the tide, and soon
the sun of his race must set forever, and
the short sentence, he lived and died, will
be almost all the record the historian of a
a century hence will give him. He leaves
no work of art nor monument Of industry
to commemorate his name. 'z;f

Over The Road.

Yesterday afternoon V1ce-President
Oaks and General Manager Haupt, to-
gether with party of gentlemen Of high
financial standing, as follows: W. H.
Bingham, Davis johnson, George Howell,
A. G. Holmes, L. Foster Dewey, John B.

the newly appointed Land Commissioned
and Geo. H. Earl, Clerk. Col. Lamborn
came with the party from Chicago, and
will go through to the Pacific coast
looking after the interests Of his depart
ment. The train passed through James
town yesterday just ahead of the regular
passenger and consisted of a baggage,
dining car, sleeping and business car. 1t
stopped long enough here for the mag
mates to look out upon the most beautiful
town on the line, and, even though the
recent disagreeable rain and present hazy,
cloudy weather made the view an unfa-
vorable one, they expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the location. At the
end of the track they will proceed by team
to the road coming this way from the Pa
cifc coast.

Attention to the Bridge.

The Alert calls the attention of the
proper authorities to the bad condition
of the wagon bridge over the James River
west Of town. 1t will be rememberedthat
during the flood some weeks ago the
bridge came nigh being carried away,
and the bents which supported it fell
down so that the main part of the bridge
sagged down about six feet leaving very
abrupt decline from the east side. The
bridge was temporarily supported by
standing up timbers on either side and the
approach was made possible by arranging
two inch lumber down the decllnation
and 1t has remained so. The crossing of
loaded wagon is sufficient to depress the
bridge as much as foot in the main part
and it is obvious that it is dangerous as
we'll as very inconvenient on account Of
the steep decline of the approach, espec-
ially on the east side. 1t is on the princl-
paliy travelled road from the other side of
the river and has to be crossed by teams
to get to the sand in the blum on the other
side of the river. There is also danger
of the bridge going down and either GRIP
pling or drowning or both the team and
teamster which would involve the county
in damages more than it would cost to
build new bridge. Until the river
gets low, as it does in the summer, 50 that
the bridge can be raised and properly sup
ported, 1t ought to be safely temporarily
supported as 1t IS and the approach ex-
tended so as to make it passable for heavy
loads from the other side of the river.

The Press and the PRAYER.


The Verndale Journal is neat, modest
and well behaved newspaper. It is the
only secular newspaper we have any
knowledge of that announces weekly
prayer-meeting in the printing Office. Now
we have just one question to ask you,
brother editor. In these prayer meetings
did you ever try the effect Of prayer on
delinquent subscribers? If it will work
on these cases successfully, there are 10,-
900 editors waiting to go into the business
Fergus Falls Independent.
While there may be 10000 editors who
need the benefit of the prayers of the
righteous on their own account, we dc
not pgree with the Independent in vast.
ing such precious ammunition upon delin-
quent subscribers, for, as class, such
persons are beyond the reach of divine
grace. We never heard the doctrine OF
total depravivity so forcibly and incontes-
tibly presented as by speaker once who
used the delinquent subscriber to news
paper as an illustration. It was clearer
than the demonstration of geometrlcal
problem. But the Alert docs not do bus
mess in that way. No name goes on its
subscription list until the cash is paid,
nor does it remain there a day after
the time paid for expires, unless the cash
Is paid for removal If that plan was
pursued by all newspapers there would be
less mony sunk in the business and total
deprav1ty in the form of delinquent sub
scribers would become a by-gone theol-
Ogy.

The Jamestown 1rasonic Fraternity.

Tha jamestown Masonic Ftaternity.
It was the pleasure and privilege Of the
ALERT scribe to attend meeting of
jamestown Lodge No. 10, A. F. & A. M.,,
Wednesday evening Of this week. Next
to the domestic home, the Masonic is the
nearest and dearest to every true Mason.
Though thousand miles from oux
domestic home, and among entire strange
faces and unfamiliar names, what a feel
ing of comfort and relief it was to step
within the portals and sit down in the
universal family circle of the Masonic
brotherhood, which is the same social and
friendly companionship, and the same
language and means OF communication
ard recognition among all tongues and
climss in every. part OF the globe
Acquaintance and confidence and SYM
pathy are simultaneous with recognition,
and the sacred bond of fellowship which
has from time immemorial cemented the
brethren of the "Mystic Tie' now ex-
tends its bencfcent chain of fraternity to
all parts of the world, and its silent and
unostentatious charity and helping hand
are seen and felt to the remotest ends of
the earth. The brethren here have a
prosperous lodge, in good working con-
iitlon, and cosy and we'll furnished
Hall. It is expected that they in con-
nection with the kindred order of Odd
Fellows will occupy the third story of the
new First National bank building that
will be erected this summer. We noticed
among the list of visiting brethren at the
previous. meeting persons from nearly all
parts of the union who were here on a
prospecting visit at that time.

wonld be to the business interests of the
town would be to unite the business men
and insure harmony and system andton-
cert Of action in the various enterprises
that will from time to TIME be presented
System is law of nature and the beauty
Of everything, and without it there will
necessarily be conflicts of interest and
countcracting influences to retard the
various business enterprises that our town
will attract Our town is destined to be
the trade centre of the upper James River
Valley, the best in all the natural advan-
tages to be found in the northwest. We
have out railroad connections, our milling
interests, and various manufacturing en-
terprises for which this place offers very
superior facilities, to look after, and if we
had board of trade in good order there
would be concert of action that would
be lever of power in establishing these.
The Alert urges the people to take the
matter in hand at once, and commence
with the beginning. Let no stone be left
unturned, the turning of which will aid
the development of the country and ac-
celerate the Improvement of the town.
