he Might Catch 1t Himself

Among the regular passengers on the
Boston, Lynn & Revere Beach Railroad
is q somewhat celebrated chemist, who
has lately compounded q mixture for
the cure of cholera Last evening he
was in conversation with Conductor
Bradbury regarding his discovery, and
being very much interested in it's Won
derful medicinal properties, he raised
his voice so as to attract the attention
of all the passengers in the car.
"Why," said he, ''my medicine will
knock the cholera higher than a burnt
boot. I wish it would come here, and
I would show you how quick I would
conquer it and make my fortune be-
Sides" "What's the matter with your
going out there where it is and wrest-

genial Bradbury. "Why, I might
catch it myself" i%nnocently replied the
would-be cholera exterminator, and the
roars of laughter that filled the cars at
that moment so confused the worthy
inventor as to cause his sudden retire.

you in the rebuking business, but as to
Yankton or Pierre being selected, we

short work of the case at Bismarck, and
he is by such a large Measure entitled to.
Give it up, Jud.
This is the way the Bismarck Journal
views it.:
The contest for local offices in Pembina
county has been settled. The case wa
tried aefore Judge Hudson, of the third
judicial district, at Fargo, and resulted
in the court ordering the auditor to issue
certificates to the newly elected officers.
This decision will have a bearing Upon
the legislative contest in the Pembina
district, and if followed by the legisla-
ture will unseat Jud La Moure.

THERE are many and diverse opinions
concerning Cleveland's letter to the
Mugwumps. The prevailing opinion is
that the new president will Ego a little

sure gets real strong, he will knock all
the hinges off the gates and let 'em in.
It don't seem possible that he can or
will stick to the civil service rules in let

apply the spirit of the law to the p. m.

The Major in Trouble.
Earon AROMA

Major Beardsley returned yesterday
from the north where he has been con-
tracing on government surveys. At
the dinner table yesterday at the Head
quarters Hotel it was reported that on
going to his room he found seven diff
ferent styles of hairpins on the dressing
case, and yesterday afternoon he was
~subponaed to appear before the United
States grand jury. 1t will probably go
hard with the man who has secured the
keys to his room.

CLEVELAND has spoken. We knew
the INTER-OcEAN article entitled What

president-elect, asking him, in sub
stance, "What are your" Cleveland re-
piled, II am,'" and George William is
just as unhappy as ever.

The Legislative Districts.

Dakota it divided into twelve legisla-

bers of the lower house and two in the
council or senate. Of these twelve the
north has four and the south eight, in
Guiding the n in Black Hills. The
average vote of the districts at the late
election was nearly 1926. There will be
a strong effort in the legislature to
secure a redistricting, as there is great
inequality, as shown by this nearly cor
