nee from Bottineau county is but lit

What is known of him is in his favor.
A few Of our people were acquainted
with him in Walsh county, when as
county commissioner he took a promi-
nent part in the affairs of that county.
Since his removal to Bottineau county
he has continued his vocation Of
farming and has been honored with a
place on the board of commissioners
and elected president of the county
alliance, both of which positions he
now holds. That he holds these posi-.
tons by the vote of the people and
the alliance shows that he is respected
at home. That those who know him
best should so trust him. with the
high character given him in Walsh
county causes Us to bespeak for him a
full party vote in this county. Be
sure and see that your ballot contains
the name of Bottineau county's choice
for this honorable position.

THE PULPIT SAYS so.

SIOUX FALLS, OAK, Oct. 5.--In the opera
house here last Sunday evening. Rev. P. E.
Holp, who has just left the Congregational
church here for a charge at WATERFOWL, de-
livered a temperance lecture under the
auspices of the VIC. T. q. The opera house
was packed from gallery to pit, and the
good women Of the association thought that
here was a splendid opportunity to open the
LOCAL OPTION CAMPAIGN
for prohibition. But they had not evidently
read the proof Of the reverend gsntleman's
address, for after q few general remarks on
temperance as a moral Issue, he waded into
the local option question As a practical issue
in this country. He surprissd the good
ladies by declaring that prohibition had
been a complete failure after a years trial
herc;that the saloons of SiouxFalls had been
run openly in defiance of law that prohi-
bitionists who had promised such great
before election were somewhere else
whea the time arrived for its enforcement,
and that from now on he wanted to be
clasSed among those who favored
HIGH LICENSE
as a practical restrictive measure. He in
troouced statistics to show that high license
had always been moro successful than
prohibition, taking his figures from cities
and counties which had tried both. The
sermon created as great a commotiou az .
rat in q drawing room. Pronibitionists con-
denim Rev. Holp for taking advantage of
the time and place to strike a blow at the
cause which it was understood he hal bcen
to favor, while high license people
say the getleman was all right, inasmuch
as no one had asked him which side of the
question he Vas going to take, and no one
had a right to assume hat he was going to
speak in favor of prohibition. Tie W. c. T.
U. Wednesday adopted resolutions CRITICS
ing Rev. Holp and repudiating the positioa
taken by him.
HE local option campaign is warming up
here. The prediction is that high license
will carry in this county, but ante-election
predictions are, Of corrse, not worth . vast
in the open market.---Globe. -

AN event took place recently in the
United States supreme court room
that in Importance and impressiveness
was second only to the Inauguration
ola president. Melville Weston Full
Ter was indicted into what many
people believe to be the most import
ant office under our. form of govern
ment- chief justice Of the United
States. The court room was crowded
to its utmost capacity by nearly all
the prominent people now in Wash.
ington, all anxious to witness the
swearing in Of u democratic chief
Justice, an event which had not taken
place before since 1885, when Roger
B. fancy, appointed by that old war
horse Of democracy, Andrew Jackson,
took the position which he to so ably
filled for twenty.eight years, and which
was to give him a world. wide fame.
The ceremonies used today were ex-
actly similar to those used when Chief
Justice Chase took his seat in 1864,
aud they we're very solemn and i'm
pressive ; in fact, everything about
the supreme court vas The new
chief Justice made a favorable impress
sion, although his physique is any
thing else but imposing. but his face
and head give unmistakable evidence
Of the possession Of m ample supply
of that subtle power which governs
the World-brains.

Al large audience assembled at the Bap-
fist church Sunday evening in the pursu-
ance of the call of tho territorial w. G. T. u.
and Of announcements previously made. for
q day Of devotion to the cause of temper.
ancc. In the absence Of Mrs. L.. J. Lyman,
president Of the Bottineau W. c. T. u, Mrs.
Geo. J. Coulrhard assumed the chair and
the air - profound disappointment that
was mar. Ter looks, words and actions
was painful to contemplate. This feeling of
disappointment was intensified when Bro.
Hubert. the pastor Of the church, stated
that it was expected that the preachers of
Bottineau would participate in the exercises
of the evening. 1t was worthy Of remark
that Reverends Turner and Lyman were
conspicuous by their absence. Rev. Hawke
was absent at conference while Bro. Nc
Candless, who subsequently appeared, ex-
planned his hardness by saying he had held
divine service twice that day and had hur.
ried, though tired and brain-weary, to get
there. All honor to Nice. Rev. Hubert
discoursed on the %subjugation Of ali things
to Christ in his usual earnest and impressive
manner. We cannot refrain from express
ing our admiration and regard for thetex-
emplary divine in his Characterization Of
what he considered the proper kind of talk
on temperance. Mr.. Hubert is no political
parson. All honor to him who docs the
work Of His Lord and Master, so conscien-
tiously, SO unsel6shly and SO we'll
Personal purity was the the theme of the
Rev. McCandless' discourse, and his appli-
cation of it to the subject of temperance was
well timed, appropriate and well expressed.
We think Bro. McCandless is improving in
the name as we'll as quality of his pulpit
He grows on you; he is more
paternal than he used to be.
The evening was after all an agreeable
one, to which the Baptist choir contributed,
in the well rendered service of song.
