The Hotel Meeting.

Owing to a misunderstanding Justice
Hayward's Office was not open last even.
ing and as result the hotel meeting was
held in Dole g Leber's store. A very
fair assembledge composed Of leading
citizens was present
Mayor Flint was chosen chairman OF
the meeting and NJ. Mcclure, secretary.
Mavor Flint being first called upon TO
express his views upon the subject stated
that he realized the Importance of the
speedy erection Of commodious hotel to
take the place of the ill-faited Dakota
House, and he believed that if the CITY
was possessed of the enterprise and public
spirit that had characterized its past
history it would not long be
without one. He also stated in connec.
ton that if hotel costing in the neigh
borhood Of fifty thousand dollars could
be erected, he was ready to furnish first
class hotel man who had the capital to
furnish it in first class manner and to
lease 1t for FIVE years at the rate of five
thousand per year and bear the expense
of lnsuring IT.
Alderman Dudley thought that house
costing about twenty thousand dollars.
exclusive Of ground, could be erected
quicker and serve the purpose. The
question of location was thea discussed,
and after canvassing considerable terrific.
~ rora tho oo,,tboost ho1f i1>.1,
3s, was considered favorable This piece
of ground Is owed by Messrs. Dole and
Flint, and fronts one hundred feet on
Fifth avenue, and one hundred and forty
feet on Pacific avenue. The gentlemen
upon being asked what they would take
for the property, SAID they would sell ii
for $4,000. Sir Flint offered to take
$4,000 worth "f stock as payment for one
half ct his interest in the property, which
was 1900. After further deliberations II
was moved that s'it be the sense of thi.
meeting that the southeast half of block
3s be selected as the site upon which to
erect the hotel''
After some discussion as TO the best
methods of raising the necessary funds
with which to erect hotel, 1t was moved
and carried that a stock company of $25,-
600 capital, exclusive Of grounds, te or
gained, and that committee of four,
consisting of Messrs Mcclure, Russell,
Hicks and Flint be chosen to solicit sub
scribers FIR the same. An executive COM
mittee OF two, consisting Of L. u. Ours
tine and A G. Chambers, was detailed
to arrange for general meeting Of citi-
zens at an early date at some convenient
place for the purpose of further consider
ing the project. The ball has now been
set rolling, and by proper efforts James
town can have one of the finest hotels in
North Dakota IN few weeks. The Alert
would say for the benefit of any who
were not present at the meeting that it is
by no means settled where the hotel shall
be located, but that the step taken look
ing to that end were taken more for the
purpose Of affording starting point
than anything else. What jamestown
wants and must have, If sac expects to
get to the front, is a good hotel; without
which she will lose more than she can af-
ford to. United we stand, divided we

The New Hotel.


Every one in jamestown looks with ex-
tremc qualification upon the develop.
ments fast-maturlng in the hotel
scheme. The demand has been 80 great
that 1t has become matter of personal
importance to every business man in the
city, and has awakened the liveliest in.
terest among them all. The recent meet.
ing stirred this feeling into action, which
promises immediate results, and the pre-
ject seems likely to mature into q solid
institution at once. At first there seemed
to be disposition to locate the h.tel on
the property opposite the Methodist par.
sonage, but 1t has very appropriately been
decided to select no location until 1t NAV
be done to the satisfaction Of all concern.
ed by the stockholders. 1t IS now pro-
posed to canvass for the sale stock to
the probable amount of $50, 600, and the
stockholders may vote upon the location.
This Is good departure. No particular
portion Of the city needs hotel over an
other, but the need is universal. Itvould
be the poorest policy in the world to un.
d. rtake thing Of this character and de-
cree that the hotel should be erected in
certain place, and this exclude some
from the purchase Of stock. The scheme
is now upon the proper basis, and its sue
cess is we'll assured. In this as in every.
thing else, however, sin unity there is
strength is very appropriate motto.
Those interested have announced their
intention Of calling mass meeting, for
the fnrtherance of the project, at Klaus
hall, in the near future, and it il most
earnestly hoped that every one Will take
an active interest. Spring is fast ap-
preaching. and no time ls to be lost IN the
matter. 1t is necessary to keep the ball
rolling to accomplish the anticipated re-
suit IN time for the summer rush OF visi-
tors, when the hotel will be most needed

PLAIN QUESTIONS.

Mythical ideas are tanning the public
brow, with the breath of prejudice, ignor-
ance or humbuggery. Have you the re-:
motest idea that your scrofula was created
matter what the cause, B. B. B. is the peer
of all other remedies. Do you presume
that your troublesome catarrh is the re-
suit of mineral poisoning? B. B. B. is
the quickest remedy. Are your chronic
ulcers and boils and sores the result of
potash and mercury? Medical gentlemen
will not tell you so, but B. B. B. is the
only sovereign remedy. Were your ter,
rible kidney troubles created by mineral
poisoningS Not bit of it, but B. B. B.
has proven to be reliable remedy. Are
your skin diseases, your eczema, dry tet-
ter, etc., the effect of too much potash
and mercury? The medical profession are
the best judges, and they say nay, but b.
B. B. makes more pronounced cures than
all other preparations combined.

To FAIR VISITORS.

It is but just and fair to state that no
one can afford to visit the Anderson Far
mers and Mechanics Agricultural Asso-
S YORK Cash Store. It is sight to see the
array of beautiful Goods, to learn the
latest styles and hear the lowest Prices.
Every lady of taste does and cannot help
admiring our choice and unique designs
of Fall Hats and Bonnets-they are real
artistic, stylish and cheap; they
are are matchless this side of New York.
And then look at the Grand, fur-trimmed,
Circulars, the English Top: Coats or New,
markets, the Jackets and Jerseys, and
you will wonder at the beautiful Goods
kept at this establishment. Carpets and
fine Rugs will astonish you-so will the
fine Lace Curtains. TO the Gentlemen,
we can only say, do not buy Suit and
Hat, until you look there first. A saving
of from $500 to $500 on every Suit or
Overcoat is guaranteed. Our large Shoe
stock speaks for itself. All are welcome.

ADeolorable Accident.

Last Saturday evening about dark Mr..
John E. Jenkins, familiarly known as
Dock Jenkins, who resides just over the
line in Pickens County, met with fatal
accident near Mr.. John Eskew's resi-
dence, 8 miles North Of this city. Mr..
jenkins had been to the city that day for
the purpose Of settling his taxes, and was
on his way home when the accident oc-
Cured. He was riding young mule,
which was unruly and hard to manage.
Mr.. Eskew, who was also on his way
home from the city, caught up with MIR.
jenkins this side of his (Eskew's) home.
Mr.. Jenkins stopped him and asked him
if he could give him string, as mis- stirrup
strap was broken. Mr.. Eskew assisted
him in fixing the stirrup, and Jenkins
re-mounted. Just at this time Mr.. Evins
Brown, young man residing about six
miles above here, came riding up, and he
and Jenkins galloped off up the road,
both men being Under the influence OF
LIQUOR, the former pretty drunk. Mr..
Eskew drove on slowly, and in few
minutes came upon both men again. He
found Jenkins laying on the roadside
speechless and Brown sitting by him.
Mr.. Eskew asked what was the matter,
but Brown could not tell anything about
it. DIR. J. P. Duckett, who had been. Wis
iting patient, drove up just at this time
and Immediately administered to the un-
fortunate man. Seeing that Jenkins was
badly hurt, Mr.. Eskew and Dr.. Duckett
lifted him up and, placing him in a buggy,
carried him to Mr.. EskeW's home, where
everything possible was done to alleviate
his sufferings, but it was all in vain.
Mr.. jenkins fingered until about 10
o'clock Sunday night, when death came
to his relief. He never spoke after the
accident. No one in the community
zled to find out where his people resided.
A tax receipt was found in his pocket,
and Mr.. Eskew took this and sent to the
Auditors office, where be found out the
township in which his people resided.
He then sent a messenger to the family,
carrying the news of the sad accident.
Jenkins was young man, well thought
of in his neighborhood, and was not con-
sidered an Incorporate man. He leaves a
wife and one child.
Coroner Nance held all inquest over
the deceased on Monday morning. After
hearing the evidence, the jury returned
verdict that the deceased came to his
death by either being thrown by his mule
CT falling off of it.
A terrible cash was cut in the left side
of Jenkins head, just above the ear.
Mr.. Brown was the only witness to the
accident, and he says he was too drunk to
remember anything about how it oc-
Cured. Jenkins mule was slightly
skinned in several places.
Mr.. Eskew and Dr. Duckett were unre-
mitting in their efforts to alleviate the
sufferings and help the poor man, and
evinced the most commendable sympathy
and kindness in their attention both to
him and to his family.
