THE clTY's GRADING.

At Wednesday evening's special meet
ing Of the city council the estimate of
the city engineer on the grading was &C.
cepted, and the city treasurer will soon
be ready to receipt for the. special tax
levied to pay for the work. The side.
walk tax will also he payable about the
same time. The bondsmen of T. A.
Edwards, the contractor for the grading,
who were called upon by the city to
complete the work, say they will bring
sait against the city to enforce the pay
ment of about $3.50 more than the
amount found to be due them by the
city engineer, They employed an en-.
gineer. MI. Oldham Of Grand Forks. to
go over the work, and they claim that
his figures show that a larger amount Of
dirt was removed than is shown in the
city engineers estimate.
The city councilmen stand in the
position of agents for the city, and they
concluded to accept the measurements
of the authorized engineer rather than
those Of an engineer with whose EN-.
ployment and figures they could haye
nothing to do officially.
We know that there is no disposition
on the part Of the council to do an in.
justice to anyone. II the contractors
bondsmen are entitled to more pay they
should have it, but the board cannot 70.
solve itself into a court and jury for the
purpose Of hearing evidence and rem
dering q final verdict.

Movements.

Her Recovery-John Hubbert'e
Movements.
10 tie Edaor-DEAR S1R: Many Of
your readers will probably be interested
to hear how my horse was secured. 1t
appears Hubert must have taken the
north star for his guide, coming as he
did to my farm-situated due north of
Devils Lake-for a horse. When strik-
ing the boundary in the Cyprus settle
ment, in the direction Of Crystal City,
on the Canadian Pacific road, and
about forty miles northwest Of Langdon,
he abandoned the mare. About midway
he inquired Of a farmer (whose land
adjoins the frontler) where he would
strike the boundary. The farmer said
he presented a woe.begone aspect, pale
and shiverlng with cold. He was in.
vited to enter the house to warm and
refresh him self before going further;
telling HIM toaet his horse eat at the
hay stack. This he refused saying he
could not trust the mare to stand, and
that he was in a hurry to go forward,
as he was on the track Of some men
who had stolen his ponies, from away
down by Devils Lake. This would de.
monstrate that Hubert Is gifted in the
art of lying, as well as horse stealing.
The farmer also noticed that Hubbert
was good at a makeshift, ready at
devislng means to meet any exigency,
las most Dakotans are\ ha wing a rope
lead for a bride, and the leather halle,
so arranged across the mares back to
serve the convenience and comfort of
stirrups, with bis mitts laid on her back
to prevent the straps chatting as he rode.
Soon after Hubert had gone the farmer
was surprised to notice the horse going
by his place loose, at at smart walk,
and make for a neighbours farm Ia Mr..
BROWN where she staid, and ate around
his hay stack. With commendable
instict she declined deserving her native
land. She had no wish to become q
British citizen. Farmer Brown soon
found out she was a stray horse. He
stabbed her, and to all appearance took
good care of her, us the mare is not
a whit worse for her lively adventure
MY man, in company of MI. Mike
Sullivan Ito whom l am indebted 70,
his zeal and kindness) drove out on
Christmas day to recover her. The
good farmer did not know what to
charge. He had used the horse a little
drove her in his buggy, etc., and was
quite sorry to part with her. but would
take the very moderate sum of s. 70,
oats.
So John Hubert is in Manitoba. W.
have got rid of our pest. Doubtless he
will soon give the Canadians "a taste Of
his quality" He cannot help his phre'
biological bump. 1t is as natural fol
Hubert to steal horses as it is to eat.
I am yours very truly w. E. GoozEE.

THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TIC
PAY.
They GET NO FAvoRs, SUFFER ALL THE
HARDsnIPs AND PAY THE HIauEsr
PRICE FOR EVERYTHING.

Who will say word for the com
mon people =? They seldom ask for
anything. Consequently they re-
ceivo little. But they have to live.
They get no favors anywhere, for
they have NO influence to give in re.
turn. They pay for everything, and
generally they pay too much for it.
Here and there is rich man who
could tell if he would where the extra
money of the common people goes.
LIE has the high tariff Mt his back,
md the common people must buy at
his own price what he has to sell.
His gains are enormous, and much
of them represent the overcharges
which the common people have to
pay. Ho makes no complaint. Why
should he? The rich man, however,
takes pains to toll the common poo
pie that if they NEEDLE with the
price he has set ON his goods they
themselves will be ruined. Cheap
food, he says, means famine. Cheap
clothing means suffering from cold.
Cheap lumber means no houses to
live i'll. Then The rich man goes to
Europe, spends $4,000 and mover
misses the money. He will be back
in time for the Fall trade. Next
winter he will go to Califoru MIA or to
Florida for his health. While he is
away the common people continue to
pay for what they get, md ask no
favors. The tariff is not their friend,
but they are not looking for friend
ship They merely wish to earn
their living, and are quite content to
let the rich men do their thinking for
them. That is why there is n war
tariff in this country after nearly n
quarter of century of profound
peace.-Chicago News.
