Mellon, prominent banker of Bismarck,
were at the Merchants hotel yesterday en-
route home from a visit to New York and

ness connected with the municipal govern
ment of their city. Major Mckenzie was
seen at the Merchants by q GLOBE reporter,
and on being questioned as to the object Of
his trip cas- he said that the principal object
was to inspect the water systems of eastern
cities.
''We are engaged at Bismarck" he said,
sin putting in water works, and it is the in
tention to make the water power as complete
and thorough as possible. We shall expend
$50, 900 ON machinery, ETC., and l expect that
the system will be completed by July IL
The major was then questioned as to the cons
dition of political matters in his district, but
he was not free in disclosing pointers" and
the talk terminated.

he had a serious attack of infammatory rheu.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.

The committee on license reported in IA
vor of granting several licenses and against
granting one to r. J. Diamond.
Messrs. Ames and Schurmeier, submitted a
majority report on stationery and
printing in favor of giving
the stationery contract for the year
to Averill, Russell & Carpenter, and the
printing to j. j. Lemon.
A minority report was submitted from Mr..
Hazard making the same award on stations
cry but claiming that on the printing McssrO
Cunningham IL Co. and Brown IL Treacy and
Engel were lower than Mr.. Lemon. He
therefore recommended the board to choose
between those named Mr. Cunningham
was the lowest on printing but combining
Brown IL Treacy's bid for printing
with Mr.. Engelis on binding he
(Hazard) was in doubt which was the best,
Mr. Hardenberg moved to adopt the
minority report because it covered the bind
ing, specially naming Mr.. Engel as the
binder. He thought it was important 10
have a binder named.
A number of testimonials were read from
county officers certifying that Mr.. Lemons
work had been entirely satisfactory the past
year.
Mr.. Hardenberg changed his mo-
ton to amend the majority re-
port by inserting Brown ~ Treacy
and Engel instead of Lemon. A vote being
taken this motion was lost by a tie vote, and
the majority report was then adopted.
1t was agreed TO have a joint meeting of
the court house committee and court house
commission as soon as u quorum could be
obtained.

sort to extreme measures. He had attended
six farmers conventions in the last year, and
had not in them heard one word in favor OF

pressed his opinion that the whole
