be Afforded. every opportunity to improve

EDITORIAL NOTES.
How does it strike you.

How does it strike you.
The GRAPHIC isn't going to
move yet awhile.
The question with those fellows
outside the corporation: "when will
amputation take place."
The school house question was
voted on again on Tuesday, but the
friends of the measure seem to have
let it 90 by default.
There is talk of submitting the
question again but we would suggest
that the amount be reduced to a
reasonable figure. Submitting the old
amount will only result in greater
dissatisfaction.
Had the meeting that first
recommended the proposition. con-
sented to DR.. Goben's modification,
viz: $1S.ooo.or $4,000, work might
now have been well advanced on anew
house, for it would have carried.

The July number of DemO,Ssfs
Monthly Magazine is certainly one of
the most attractive issues of this inter.
esting periodical. A striking feature
is the plaster papier bas-relief of the
head OF Perseus, which is not only a
great novelty, but an exquisite work of
art. A beautiful photogravure of a
Little Bride" also adorns the art de-
partment, and the other illustrations
are numerous. The literary articles
are of high order of merit, among
which may be mentioned the continue
ton of the story "Out of the World"
"Social Life at Smith College" }" "The
Story of Hereward Eeolricsson, the last
Of the English" "a Perfect Fright"
1.-THE Paupers ofPompeii, ""The Rose
in Song and Story "How we live in
New York. by Jennie June, and a
sketch OF Elizabeth Thompson Butler,
the celebrated painter OF battle scenes.
The poeucal department is well filled
as are the Kitchen, Fancy Work,
Scientific and Fashion departments !;
while Current Topics" are most ably
and agreeably discussed. The July
number of Dem0rxst's Monthly Maya
zine should be in the possession Of
every one. the beautiful illustrations
alone making it well worth possessing,
to say nothing of the advantage it is to
the household in the way of select
reading and useful information.

Bring More Stock.

That staunch paper, the Fargo Repub-
lican. wisely remarks: The Republican
would advise all those who are migrating
to North Dakota to go on the land, to
bring all the stock they can with them.
Here is the very best of pasturage dur
ing the summer, and by a small outlay
of time and money, enough hay can he
put up by one man to winter quite {,
herd. The native grass OF North Da-
kota makes the very best and most nu
tritious hay that can he found in any
part of the world 1t is an easy matter
to provide comfortable shelter for cattle
i'm the winter. At present there isa great
scarcity of stock in North Dakota. but
the number of farmers who are engaged
in the raising of cattle is increasing. The
immigrant who brings into this country
a small herd of stock is already OH the
high road to success.

Special Election.

The special election authorized by the
last legislature for this county has been
duly called by the county commissioners,
and will be held ON Saturday. June End.
The questions to be submitted to the
electors of the county at that time will
be found stated at length in the COM
missioners proceedings printed in an
other column.
The polls for the different precincts
will be held in the same places as last
fall, and will be open from o'clock in
the forenoon until o'clock in the after
noon. The questions proposed are of
Importance to every voter of Griggs
county, and there should be no stay-at-
home on that day.
In needs no sllillful arguments on the
part OF the COURIER to elucidate the
fact that division is against the best in-
terest of the people us a whole; that Il
court house should be erected as mat
ter of economy as we'll as to supply an
urgent need, and that the temperance or
, license question should carry in favor of
peaceful communities and happy homes.
AS we must abide by the results of the
coming election it behooves every man
with the good of Griggs county at heart
to be up and ut work from early until
late OH the 2nd day of June. Don't rely
upon the fact that tlmee-fourtls of our
population are unanimous against divis-
ion. and thus argue the inconsequence
of your own ballot. There is Il corrupt
ion fund of no meagre proportion that
will endeavor to thwart the wish of the
public in the interest of the company
that has already made the county infa-
nous. Look out for, and guard against
it. Let every man weigh the several
propositions we'll in his own mind, slld
work in accordance with his honest con-
clusions as to the public welfare.

Ladies Who Will Receive
Tomorrow.

The custom of receiving calls On New
Years Day has dated as far back as in the
days when the Dutch settlers, on Manhat.
tan Island, used to take their fraus and
little ones and pass with each other the
compliments OF the season. Since that
time. when the old year departs and the
new one gives greeting, the custom has be-
come universal, and now has devotees in
every city, village and hamlet of America.
In this city, however, the custom is not be-
ing as much observed as ordinarily. The
reasons are, in some cases, illness in the
