good style. Though his expenses
were large he contracted mo debts.

THERE seems 10 be strong disposition
in both houses Of congress to make war
upon the present public land laws, es-
peclally the pre-emption and timber Gull
turc laws. The land inspectors who have

mer have returned aud made their re-.
port OF the great service they have been
TO the government, and like B,ckford, of
the Bismarck district, have no doubt told
q narrowing tale of the perjury and
frauds of claimants; and will make it ap-
pea TO the down east statesmen that the
government lands and perhaps the gov.
eminent itself would have gone 70 the
demnltlon pow vows if it had not been
for them. II the citizens Of the terrltor-
les do not want those laws repealed they
must take some action TO Offset the ex.

their kid gloves and dude suits on big
pay from the government treasury to 90

quarter themselves in brown stone fronts

noyed and delayed in proving up shield
themselves as best they can in their rude

THE people Of burlington have the

towns in Dakota have been SO intimately
associated and none have dwelt more
pleasantly aud harmoniously together.
There is a lesson IN this calamity BY
which both may profit if they will. The
importance Of fire protection and the
danger Of neglecting it is forcibly i'm
pressed by this disaster. OF all the
buildings in either city, the Klrkwood
we presume was least expected to burn
and yet it was the first.
1t is almost the universal history of
fires that they break out when and where
least expected. 1t is easy enough to see
how the fire originated and how 1t could
have been prevented after 1t has occurred
and done its work OF devastation, but
who ever thought fire would originate
just as it did! The nearest to safety we
can attain is TO be ready to combat the

guaranteed the money were too busy un-

O'Donnell is an American citizen tits the

but no farther than that. 1t an English
man comes to this country ad6 violates our

violates the laws of Great Britain he
must suffer the penalty, and The American
government has no more right to inter-

government would have to shield one Of
hers from the penalty of violating our

the Bismarck papers have been some
what sgitated Of late BY the exaggerated
report circulated in the east Of the ex.
treme cold weather at that point . few
weeks ago giving the temperature ct 40
degrees below zero. The report not only
affected that point but all of North Da-
kota IN the same latitude. 1t is doubt
full whether those in the east who are
gullible enough to be dlssuaded from
emigrating to this country BY such mem
dacious reports would DO desirable &C.
QUESTIONS to its settlement or not In
going about and conversing with the peo-
pie of the states Of more southern lati.
tude one will find that it Is the goods box
whittlers and barber shop and grocery
store loafers who are forever harping
about the cold weather In Dakota. The
pushing farmer and live business man
rarely says anything about it. Those
who are interested enough can easily in
form themselves by referring to the sig
mai service reports that are published
from all points every day in the metro
politan dailles.
But in view Of the exaggerated re.
ports which find their way into country
papers down south and east the Alert
would suggest that it would be good
plan for all the papers in North Dakots
to publish every day the temperature in
their respective localities that their read
ers in the east may see the correct state
ment for themselves. These could be
carried for week and then published in
the weeklies 50 that the readers of those
papers would have q report fer every
day. One might as we'll call man an
idiot ss to ask him to believe that it is no
colder here than it is IN Kansas. The
very nature of things gives the lie to the
assertion. Dakota suffers more injustice
from Withholding the truth than from
publishing it.in full.
