peurile effort of few dissatisfied spoils

FARGO, Oct. 15.-Supt. Gleason has had
great success the past week with his teach
ers' institute. There was an unusual attend
ance, and the energy and geniality of the
young superintendent elected such admirng
appreciation that the teachers made him the

him. 1t is said that the Bank of Fargo,

Four men lost their lives instantly by the ex-

fire at Spearfsh foots up to $4,000, of which
very little was covered by insurance, and the
escaped jail birds, two of whom were con-
victed murderers, have not been recaptured.
Evidence accumulateS that the jail delivery
was effected by outside assistance. This
county commenced the erection of sub
stantlal jail last spriag, which is not yet COM
pleted. The prisoners, perhaps, would not
have been in such hurry to leave their COM

the above step. 1t is quite probable that ID.
A. Mcpherson, the Republican candidate for

The Cost of a Bnshel of Corn.

There is statistician who desires
to impress everybody with economic
facts. Said he yesterday; Do you
see that man over there? Well he's
a farmer. There he goes with a
friend they're going to get drink.
The farmer will pay for it. Now, let
me see. That man will sweat two
mortal hours next spring to plow
enough ground to raise one bushel
of corn. That bushel of corn he will
sell for less than 80 cents. He is
going in there now to spend 80 cents
for two drinks. Therefore, the farmer
and the corn have parted. Now,
let me tell you what becomes of the
corn. A bushel of corn makes sew
enteen quarts of whisky-four aud
quarter gallons. The distillery gets
its first profit 40 cent a gallon.
There you are: S2 for that bushel
of corn. Now the government comes
in, 80 cents a gallon -S3.85, added
to the So, makes S5.85. That brings
the product of the bushel of corn
down to the jobber and the whole
saler and, finally, by several stages
to the retailer. By the time it
reaches the latter the bushel of corn
or its products of four and a quarter
gallons has been reduced one-half
which means eight and half gal
Ions. There are sixty drinks to th'
gallon that is the average-eigh
and half gallons means 270 drink
at % cents each-there we have
S46. 35 as the consumers price for ;
bushel of corn which the farmer rails
and sells for 80 cents. Who say
there is no industry in this country
But the farmer we saw just no'
spent his whole bushel of corn an tn

A Change Needed.

Under the present law, il an In
dividua Is so unfortunate as 10 be-
come insane, he has to he taken be
fore the ,unty court and his Insan'
1ty established before he can be ad-
mltted to an asylum. Our county
courts, as ut present constituted, ,are
composed of three members who
live in different portions of the
county. To get the members of this
sort of a court together Is some
times tedious, and always expensive
fine and expense can be saved by
transferring all such matters to the
judge of the probate court who lives
at the county seat We hope our
next Legislature will give this matter
their attention and change the law.
The cost and unncce ssary delay
of our present system is exemplified
in the case of a citizen of this coun-
w whose mind became unbalanced
not long since, and who was sent
here last Tuesday to have his lnsani-
ty proven before the county court.
The court was not in session, and
will not be till the first of March.
The unfortunate man was turned
over to the sheriff, who put him in
Jail for safe-kecping. The sheriff
was compelled to do this or pay for
4 guard himself. Had the patient
been taken before Judge Minter, the
Judge Of probats, the matter could
have been settled at once, and the
patient sent to the asylum instead of
to Jail. The proposed method is

The St Louis Post-Dispatch thinks
there is a great inequality IN the as
sessed valuation of real estate in st.
Louis as compared with the remain
der of the state, and says the dis
crimination in values has always been
against st. Louis and as a result st.
Louis pays about two-fifths of the
state taxes. The Dispatch wants
the State Board of Equalization at
its next meeting to place a higher
valuation upon real estate in the
country or lower the valuation III the
city. Secretary McGrath doubts the
authority of the State board to do
anything of the kind, as the local
authorities make the assessment al
valuations sufficient to levy and col
lect taxes for local needs. Then we
might say to the Dispatch and the
secretary of state that valuations are
already so high in the country as to
work hardship in the payment OF
taxes and if they were increased
would in many cases work forfeiture
of the land. The great question that
ought to concern US most IS MT the
raising of valuations and increase OF
taxes, but the study of economy il
