WHEN England and Russia had diplo-
matte difficulties that threatened war in
1873, Lord Beaconsfeld, after returning
from the conference of the powers at Ber
lin, theatrically announced that England
had secured Peace with Honor" This
theatrical announcement-B -Beaconsfeld was
always theatrical-has been often laughed
at in England, and over the world for
that matter. But in the present un-
pleasantness with Russia England would
evidently not object to Peace with Honor
even if it were accompanied by the spec

Nightwatchman Kent did some good de-
tective work, Jamison being captured

prosecuted the case and A. c. Barnes de-
Tended. William s. Lewis, who recently
served term Of II days for larceny, was
the principal witness against Jamison.
The latter acknowledged to Lewis that
he stole the goods. Jamison was bound
over to appear at the next term Of the

which he failed to furnish.

and be payable ten years after date, at
such place as the county commissioners
Of said county shall designate, and shall

THE BONDS CARRIED
A Light Vote, but a Majority for
Bonds.

Tuesday last was undoubtedly the
coldest and most disagreeable day Of the
winter; and that was unfortunate, for the
reason that an election was held on that
day for the purpose of voting $4,000 iE
bonds to fund the outstanding indebted
ness of the county, and 5000 more to
build roads and bridges. Another un-
fortunate feature of the affair was that
some one with malicious intent circulat-
ed the story throughout the county that
the 5000 road and bridge bonds were for
the express purpose of a bridge at
Freshwater; that the money was all to be
spent at one place, etc. This naturally
caused opposition; hence the small ma
jority OF 10 for the bonds. The funding
bonds carried by majority of l58, out
Of vote of 2l4 in the county. Last full
the poll of the county was 734. Follow
ing are the returns Us canvassed by the
board Of canvassers Thursday afternoon:

Personal Testimony,

Persons troubled with any of the lung
diseases find immediate benefits and nj
timatelv complete cure by residence
IN North Dakota; that is, if the case is
not too far advanced. We have in mind
now the cases Of three friends in this
city. Oscar B. Corsett, cashier of the
Bank of Devils Lake, travelled two wears
In the high attitudes and even climate of
Colorado, but failed to find relief from
what seemed an aggravated case of
chronic bronchitis. He came to Dakota
in 1882, as he said himself, las last re-
Sort His health improved rapidly, and
Mr.. Corsett Is almost we'll man to-day.
He states that his lung troubles COM
pletely incapacitated him, and he was
forced to give up business for half a
dozen years prior to coming to Dakota.
Now he Is enabled to attend constantly
to business.
Lawrence Grant, contractor and
builder in this city, lived in Maine and
other eastern states until his physicians
told him he must have a change of cli-
mate If he hoped to SECURE relief from a
severe affection of the lungs, which for
years stubbornly refused to yield to
skilled treatment. Mr.. Grant came to
Dakota two years ago, and those who
know him hore will be surprised to learn
that he ever saw days sickness, for he
Is now In robust health.
DR.. J. Fl. Snyder served his county in
the army Of the Rebellion, and received
Minnie ball through the lungs. Hc
was for many years helpless invalid,
but Dakota ozone cured him. He often
refers to "the sneak he mado upon tho
grave by coming to Dakota"
The facts In the instances related here
can be verified by the gentlemen named.

relative in this city will give an idea Of
the beauties Of the southern cline:

known such wretched weather as we
have endured in this lovely sunny south.
Since Christmas we have had no weather
fit to live in. Cold, oh! so cold; hail,

bined. I think Satan must have let
loose his hordes upon us. ! would
