A Funny Mistake.

Some time ago an editor had what was
called "a cystic tumor" in his throat,
and one of his contemporaries stated
that "Mr. Blank is suffering from a
sciatic tumor on his neck" Of course
this was an error; but greater error
is the mistaken idea that prevails among
some people that sciatic pains cannot be
cured Not only those pains, but Rheu-
matism, viii yield to the action OF sal
icylica, one OF the most reliable remedies
OF modern times.

THE address presenting the women
suffrage petition to the constitutional
convention, now ia session at Sioux Falls
by Mrs. Bones, of DaI;: county, though
presented IN the limited space of five
minutes, Is the best production called out
by the convention so far and would do
credit to the ablcst talent in that body.
The points she made were not only strong
but lncontrovcrtib!e. In the opening
sentence she said, II ain here TO appeal
TO your Justice On behalf Of the women Of
our territory who are opposed to being
left in our state organization with no
more authority IN self government than
have the. paupers and idiots" AS 7" the
practical working OF the elective fran
chise in the hands Of women she SAID:
"Look ut Wyoming territory where wo
men suffrage has had a fair test, and u"
one will deny that it has proved a
marked success Elections there now are
conducted with quiet aud more orderly
than elsewhere. Before the enfranchisc
ment of women in Wyoming election
days were terror generally, he:ng both
boi.tereus and riotous.' The address
and petition were referred 10 the COM
mittee on elections and suffrage, where
the politicians will Use their bes, efforts

CarriDgtOn.

The proprietor of the Alert has just
returned from little visit with the
genial people of Carrlngtcn and is pleased
to note several important changes IN that
coming city. The new Darlington hotel
valued at nearly twenty-five thousand
dollars is rapidly approaching compile
lion and Will soon be opened to the pub
llc by DIR. McLanc, an experience hotel
man. Strong T. Chase have made some
Improvements in the interior of their
store, which gives it a metropolitan ap-
pearance. The firm carry enc of the
largest stocks of general merchandise in
the Northwest and have a very extensive
trade. LaMente Durbrow, formerly of
jamestown, is doing fine hardware
business and rapidly getting 10 the front.
His books show that he has sold four
thousand dollars worth Of farm machin-
cry aside from his general hardware
trade this season. D. Z. Smith s. Co., of
which Mr. McDermot. formerly Of this
CITY, is prominent member, are doing
thrifty business in their line. They have
recently treated their extensive billiard
hall to tinc covering of paper which
gives 1t a ci,yfed appearance and reflects
much credit to the proprie,ors.
The depot at this plscc has just been
completed and is one of the finest aud
most convenient structures of the kind
in Dakota.

Northern construction department, IN

The Fire Last Night,

About one o'clock last night the switch
engine with mccarthy screeches aroused
the people from their slumbers, who, on
coming out onto the streets, learned that
Hicks wood yard on the east side Of
town was on fire. About a hundred men
soon gathered at the scene, but without
water or anything to combat the flames
could do nothing more than throw out to
one side the wood not on fire and watch
the other burn. After while John
Vennum drove down with his water
wagon, from which, with such buckets
and vessels as could be had IN the vicinl-
:y, the fire was sabiued, with the loss OF
seven or eight cords of wood. All this
time she engine remained in sweet rsposl

~OUR ncighbor of the sundown Contcm-
porary, as usual when he attempts to
correct the Alert, puts his foot in 1t ana
makes h,mself ridiculous. Webster is
good authority on the definition Of words
but he Is not recognized as authority Oh
the definition of law terms. The terms
"larceny' and "rebbcry" are nowhere
synonymous, and are defined hy the stat
utes Of the different states and territories
with variations, and these definitions by
statute are strictly construed by the
the courts, no matter whether they agree
with Webster or not. The legislature
which uses these terms have the right to
say what they mean by them, they exer-
else that right and the courts are bound
by it. As common law term, larceny
means.'the felonieus taking and Carrying
away of the goods of another" Robbery
means ''thc unlawful taking away Of
goods or valuablcs from another, or in
his pre.ence, either by violence or put
ting him ir fear" To constitute robbery
the taking must bo by force or previous
putting in fear. If the young man who
tried to paralyze US with awe for his
eruditisn by recommending study Of
our "thcsaurus'' instead o. a dictionary,
would first learn something Of what he
IL writing about he might save himself
the humiliation of such an cgregious
blunder as quoting Webster in defining a
law term

THIS is the day appointed by the CEN
ference held on the 22d ult., at Fargo, for
4 North Dakota delegate convention to
meet at tnat place to take action in re-
gard to protecting our name against
what was at the time Of calling the con.
ven,ien q we'll founded suspicion that the
south Dakota people would at their con-
sti,utional convention appropriate to
their ,ncipient state the name Of Dakota,
which suspicion was more than justified
hy the preamble offered at Sioux Falls
dsv before yesterday. 1t Is not likely
that there will be full repre- sen tation at
the Fargo convention to-day, as several
counties have made no appointment of
delegates, owing in part ~ apathy and in
part TO the busy season Of the year. The
Alert does not agree with those who have
urged that this conveu ton was called by
the instikatlon Of Gov. Ordway or in the
interest of the 'ring,'' a. some papers
please to term it. 1t is true it is busy
time in the year with the farmer. but the
time appointed tor the Sioux Falls con-
s,i,u,ional convention indicated the prop.
ar time for holding ours. To have post
psned our convention until that one had
decided upon taking the name Uf Dakota
would be as ill-tlmed rs locking the sta
HE door after the horse is stolen. To
lull the people into indifference upon the
subject of the Fargo convention the pa
pcrs Of The proposed southern coufed-
erscy'' have given out the impression that
thew cared nothing about the name, but
the preamble to their proposed constltu-
a;ou. introduced Monday, shows that 1t
w.s a false pretcnse, that they arc not
satisfied with the standing South Dakota
has before the world, but under the
mise Of statehood seek to appropriate to
themselves the glory which North Da-
kota has given the name. If they persist
IN this grand larceny they will be resisted
bv n "solid north,'' Goth at home and in
the halls OF congress, for as q choice be-
tween losing our name and remaining an
undivided territory and ultimately
state. there would be no hesitancy In
u.kin0 choice of the latter. Ii Seutl

Falls constitutional convention, force this

TIE Bismarck Capital says the tooth
of an extluct mastodon was found on a
sand bar about twenty miles up the river
from that place few days ago. The
scientific editor of the paper says that the
Dimensions of the tooth would indicate
that its possessor subslstcd ON trees and
shrubs. That accounts for the absence
of trees in Dakota. They were all de-
voured by those mastodons. 1t would be
something of sight now to sec one Of
those prehistoric monsters going along
the James river nipping OF the trees two
and three feet IN diameter close to the
ground.

Western Sympathy.

The Anson Eldrcd Lumbcr company's
mil near Green Bay, Wis, was destroyed
by fire few days ago, involving a loss of
$4,000, on which there was al insur-
ancc OF only $4,000 When our noble
Ii, arted townsman, Anlcn Klaus, heard
OF This loss, he Immediately remembered
the liberality of Anson Eldred, through
which he was enabled to build the la
ko,a house here, and the following from
the Green Bay ADVOCATE OF Sept 9th,
just received, shows what Mr.. Klaus did
and how he is appreciated there:
"rhis IS u selfish world and when, now
and then, Kind, unsellish man steps to
ihc fIon', II IS worthy OF mention. The
fact may not generally be known that
our former honorcd Green Bay citizen,
Anton Klaus, W Gu he was III hard luck
and left here for Dakota, WAS helped
onto his feet again by Anson Elured and
tw" Milwaukee gentlemen. Anton has a
big heart and good memory, as the fol
lowing telegram will attest:
~ JAMESTOWN, Oak. Sept. l, 1883.
To Anson Eldred:
sympa'hlse with your heavy loss this
morning. Ii l can be Of any assistance
to you, straw on me for double The amount
did on you four years ago, on same
terms. .,.. ANTON KLAUS"
The amount for which Mr.. Klaus drew
on Mr.. Eldrcd when building the Dakota
house was considerable, and, practically
started that growth Of Jamestown from
years ago that has been 50 renarka bic.
The two Milwaukee gentlemen referred
to above are Alessrs Pister and Black
who advanced Mr.. Klaus sufficient to
buy the iand now covered with stores and
residences and kaown as "Klaus' addi-
ton" Wehn approached regarding the
extract from the Advocate, Mr.. Klaus
said: 81 came here III my old clothes.
MIR. Eldred loaned me money when
needed it to- build the Dakota house. l
am very sorry for his loss and am glad
to be IN position where L could advance
HIM if he needs some, but have letter
from him stating that although his loss
is over $lOO, 900 net, he will be able to 90
on" MIR. Klaus has hssts of friend land
they will be glad to sec that his generous
nature is appreciated.

The anxiety of both political parties to
eVade the tariff issue is shown in the en-
deavor of each party to fasten on the other
the intent of evasion. But the question

until the policy OF the country is decided
AS between tariff for revenue and a tariff
for protection.-EIot Springs Sentinel.
We beg leave to enquire OF our esteemed
cotemporary, whether it has heard from

would suggest that it might lind some, in
terresting reading among its Ohio. ex-
changes if it would retrospect" Short
time among its last weeks mail, from that

campaign of 1884, on the tariff issue,
