DAKOTA.
Election boomers.

Dunseith is red hot, fighting mad in fact,
over the trick played upon it in the county
seat matter. They had jubilated and
jubilated and thrown themselves loose over
their victory over st. John. About all the
voting was done at these two points, and
neither town allowed it to be known how
many votes it returned to the auditor at
Bismarck as cast. Dunseith made figures
about double the population of st. John
and felt safe, but the latter was equal to
the emergency. 1t allowed the rumor to
get out that it had cast less than 400 votes,
and Dunseith thought its 600 were ample,
but when the returns were opened by the
auditor it was found that ST. John had S67.
Dunseith could have beaten it if it had
suspected. 1t is evidently another illustra-
ton of the vigor of the Dakota atmos-
phere when a town of 800 people or less
can cast from roo to 800 votes. There is
intense bitterness between the rival towns,
and the election will be contested of
course.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-There are signs
OF strongly organized movement soon to
be made to induce the president to appoint
new civil service commissioners. The
movement has been made by prominent
Western politicians, whose Democracy is Of
the most stalwart character. They say
that if one Democrat and two
Republican commissioners could prop
erly look after the interests of
Democratic applicants under the civil SER
vice rules, then one Republican and two
Democratic commissioners can be trusted to
look after the interests of Republican appli-
cantS. The gentlemen who are interested
in this movement want an entirely new
board. The president has not yet been
regularly laid siege to, but number
OF gentle limitations on the sub
ject have been dropped. Under the law
the commissioners have no fixed
term and the president is expressly author
lied to remove any of them, their sue
cessors to be confirmed by the senate.
Aside from the opinions or purposes of the
partisans, the personnel of the present civil
service commission it is not Of that charac-
ter to command unqualified public
Endorsement. The president has not given
any expression on the subject SO far, but
it may justly be presumed that he will act
with care and deliberation, and should he
come to the conclusion that the public in
terests would be subserved by making a
change, he would undoubtedly hesitate be-
fore constituting majority Of the board Of
the type which would be acceptable to the
extreme Democrats of the West.

about two miles above Grand Forks city,
the unfortunate victim being William En-
wright, aged % years, a son of Dennis
Enwright. This young man and his cousin,
Dennis Enwnght, were attempting to take

and a rope They expected the cow to
swim across in obedience to the draft Of the
rope as they rowed over. But when they
got within rod or two of the opposite
shore, near the old ferry, the rope was
drawn sufficiently hard to tip the boat over,
and while Dennis chung to the boat and

A Sad Visit.

Atwater Press: Some two weeks ago
Godfrey Herr and wife, an aged couple re-
siding at Altomont, ILL.,, started for visit
to their son, Valentine Herr, who resides
north of Atwater in Harriston town. While
on the way Mrs. Herr in some manner
stepped or fell from the platform of NOV
ing train and was badly injured, the fall re-
sulting in the breaking of two ribs and the
bone of one leg. She was brought to this
village and taken to the residence of her
son, and is, we believe, doing well. But
the sadest event of the visit is the sudden
death of Godfrey Herr, which occurred Fri
day last. He was apparently in his usual
health at supper time that day, but in the
evening the unexpected summons came.
He was buried Tuesday in the German Luz
theran cemetery. The deceased had sew
eral old friends and acquaintance in this
locality, G. Pagel and F. Kraginbring
being among the number.
