The News-D Democrat is as silent as the
tomb this week on the subject of its
printing steals. 1t does not call for an
investigation of its bills, because it does
not want one. The "reform" sheet
contents itself with a quotation from
Col. Plummer, the political leper of
Trail county, who attempts to throw
mud at the Grand Forks Herald. the
jamestown Capital and the INTER.
OCEAN, the three papers which have
earnestly and consistently opposed the
shameless gang of public plunderers tc
which the News.D Democrat now belongs
But this does not answer the charges O
theft that now stand against the News
Democrat. To attack the Herald, tn,
Capital, the Hillsboro Banner and tn
IxrER4OcEAN is no p~alliation of the Of
fense the News Democrat has committe,
in it, bare-faced steals from the count
treasury.

ABERDEEN, Dak., Sept. 22.-Repre-
sentative Democrats of Dakota assem-
bled here today to consider the political
situation. Hon. Bartlett Tripp was made
temporary and permanent chairman.
George Henry, of Brookings, and w. s.
Montgomery, of Brown, were elected
secretaries. The enrolment of dele
gates showed 1O8 present from 3S coun-
ties. Major Barrett delivered the ad-
dress of welcome, following which a
committee was appointed to report a
plan of organization of counties, consist
ing of Engle of Brown, Hughes of
Hughes, Pierce of Codington, Dunn of
Sanborn and Rawley of Davidson. Some
apprehension was felt that an effort was
being made to interfere with the terrific
rial committee, but that fear was soon
dispelled upon assurances that no such
thing was intended. Chairman Frost,
from the committee on resolutions, read
a report which was considered by sec
tions. The first and second resolutions
were adopted as follows:
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dolse the course of the present admin
istration touching territorial and nation
al affairs.
Resolved, That we favor and fully
indorse the action taken by the national
convention and followed by President
Cleveland with reference to selecting
federal officers from actual residents Of
the territory, and earnestly implore the
president to ignore carpetbagism and
enforce democratic resolutions.
The committee reported resolutions
thanking the territorial and national
committeeman for their valuable servi-
ces in behalf Of the party. This brought
out strong objections from Miller of Lin
coin, Wampler of Kingsbury, Dean of
Beadle, and others, who denounced the
action of M. H. Day, territorial commit
teeman. After an animated discussion
this resolution was laid on the table, as
were also resolutions which favored
opening the Sioux reservation, tariff for
revenue only, and sanctioning the action
men from public lands. The committee
on county organization reported resolu-
tons that in each county not having a
Democratic organization a county COM
mittee be appointed to consist of one
member from each voting precinct and
one at large who shall be chairman; that
this committee select an executive COM
mittee Of three from among their num-
Der; hat the territorial committee be
requested to ascertain the names Of
prominent and active Democrats in
each county having no Democratic or.
g~anization, and request them to cali a
meeting and proceed and organize at
once according to the foregoing resolu-
tlons. The convention, after a speech
by President Trip, adjourned.

STEAL.

The Democratic majority on the board
of county commissioners have finally
concluded that they cannot longer sus-
tain their adopted organ, the News
Democrat, in its outrageous charges for
county printing, and now when a bill is
sent in by the proprietors of that sheet
it invariably goes over for Investigation
or is laid on the table. The News-Dem-
ocrat has been gouging the county ever
since it was made the official organ. Its
last attempted steal is without a paral-
lei for bare.faced robbery. The facts
are these: A certain amount of sup
plies were needed in the office of the
clerk of court, and the clerk was author
lied to accept bids for the same. The
INTER OCEANS bid was $l12; the Grand
Forks Plaindealer 800; the News-Dem.
ocrat 500. so; the John Morris company
$89. The latter bid was not put in until
after the work was awarded, so it cuts
no figure, except to show about what
the job was worth. The Ne ys-D Democrat
bid of $99.50 was accepted, and the cor
gan" had the work done in the Grand
Forks Plaindealer Office. The books
are less than half the size the INTER
OCEAN bid on, and the printing is about
the worst we ever saw come from any
press, being "blurred" and muddy"
and very poorly ruled. And now comes
the News-D Democrat with a bill of$147.8 5
for a Job they agreed to do for $99.5O-
or $4S.35 over-charge, to say nothing of
the inferior quality of the work. Here
are three items of their bill:
To 100 commitments to Jail Z
To so commitments to Jail 6
Total. 81
This entire lot of $50 blanks can be
furnished for $10.15, and at a profit Of
As per cent to the party furnishing them.
The balance of the bill is not itemized.
There is a charge of $l13.85 for a Ger.
tain lot of books, and another charge of
$13 for changing the size of the books.
The clerk of the court told the board
Wednesday that he never authorized a
change in the size of the books.
The News Democrat publishers are
the lads who have been crying ''fraud,'
conspiracy" "robbery," etc.. and de.
handing that the ''rascals" be turned
out. The real rascals have at last been
discovered. Tu n them out.

The Byron combination is announced
to appear at the opera house next Wed.
nesday evening in the great English sue.
cess Of Rags and Bones. The drama
has quite an interesting history. When
its author, Mr.. T. A. Scudmore, gave il
the singular name it bears he was abused
and made fun of for the selection Of such
a title. He was stubborn however, and
declared that it would be played as Rag
and Bones or it would not be played al
all. 1t was eventually billed, but it wa
feared the name would kill it before the
British people. 1t scored an immediate
success, however, and created a sensation
in England.
1t is a powerful portrayal of the times
and is replete with sensational situations.
Like all melodramas it is necessarily well
mounted and cannot fail to attract atten-
ton wherever it is produced.

Prof. Mansill brings his astrological
horoscope to bear upon March thusly.
Venus is in aphelion the 9TH; Mercury in
conjunction with Mars on the It'll, and in
superior conjunction with the u the 18th,
and in its perihelion the 9th; it is in a
longitudinal line with Mars on the 10th,
and in a like line with Neptune the oath;
also in line with Saturn the 29th. The
sun is eclipsed on the 10th; Uranus in
opposition on the Goth; Venus in c%onjunc-
ton with Mars the 9th; the moon
ecIpsed the Both. The principal disturb
ing positions OF the planets for March, 1885,
appear to be located about the 9Th, the
9th to the 10th, the Goth and 9th to the
Both. The temperature, like February,
appears to be undecided during the first
three weeks, but the last ten days will be
decidedly stormy and cool for the season;
the second and third weeks of the month
are likely to be very idgety, with many
scattering storms of more or less severity,
There is much petty planetary phenomena
clear through the month. There will be
a full complement Of sun spots during the
last half ofthe period.

This Omcers Return From Colorado
without the Burglars.

Il was half expected hat Offers
Smalley and Whitney would return from
Colorado last evening with the burglars
who committed depredations al the resi-
dences of j. W. jenkins and Il. A.
Matthews. Quite a large crowd assembled
at the depot when the Denver train
arrived, as ii was supposed the
prisoners would be on that train
But the crowd was disappointed. From
Mr.. John s hingle. who was a passenger
on the train, it was learned that the Off
GERS were in Greeley yesterday afternoon
and were still looking for the burglars.
1t is likely that horses will be obtained in
Greeley and that the officers will make a
protracted hunt for the robbers.
Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins returned from
Fort Collins last night and the extent of
the booty obtained at their residence is
now known. The communion ser
vice of the First Presbyterian church,
which had been left in the house
and which could be found after the
burglary, is reported safe. 1t was con-
cealed in the upper story Of the house
and escaped the observation of the rob
bers. Several small articles Of jewelry
were taken, but the loss is not large. Mr..
and Mrs. jenkins had not been informed
of the burglary and were not a little sur
prised to learn that during their absence
their house had received the unsolicited
attention of burglarious callers
Since the above was written Officers
Smalley and Whitney returned from Colo
RADIO. They arrived on a freight train
late last night. They failed to find the
burglars, or to obtain any clue of them.
The section men along the Denver Pacific
track have been given descriptions of the
burglars, the constables have been notified
and the officers at Greeley will watch for
the appearance of the thieves in that
town. The two men arrested at Carr
station were not the burglars. When the
officers arrived at the station the men had
left, but they were captured not far from
the section house. They did not resemble
the robbers as described, and did not have
any plumber about their persons. A
number of officers are inclined to believe
that the robbers are still in the city and
are hiding until the interest in the burg
laries blows over"

AN ANCIENT DEBT.
A Bill Contracted Twenty-three Years
Ago Paid Yesterday.

A few weeks ago Mr.. Seth Gamble ar
rived from the north to urge the offer Of a
reward for the murderer of his son, whose
dead body was found several miles west Of
Hartville last fall. Yesterday afternoon
he was standing at the corner of Fcrgu-
son and Seventeenth streets, when a man
approached him and asked if his name
wa not Gamble. An affirmative reply
being given, the man took ten dollars
from a well-flled pocket book and handed
the money to him. An explanation was
appropriate and was given.
In 1862 Mr.. Gamble was conducting a
boarding house at Central City, Colo.
Among those who enjoyed his hospitality,
but who failed to pay him, was a young
man, a mere boy in fact. One fine day
the boy was missing. His board bill was
charged to profit and loss, and the Incl
dent was soon forgotten. The boy drifted
around the territory Of Colorado for a
time and followed the various mining ex-
elements. Finally he enlisted in the LIST
Colorado volunteers and served with the
troops during the war. Since that time
he has roamed around the Rocky Noun
tain region. Twenty-three years have
made a mature man of the boy, but Mr..
Gamble looks but little older than he did
when the boy Jumped his board BILL -
and SO il came about that he was recOR-
