BY Victor Hugo in his thrilling description
Of the battle Of Waterloo in "Les Misera-
bles," when called upon to surrender, with
. feeling Of intense disgust, of which no
English word is adequately expressive,
exclaimed in his own pungent vernacular-
Merde----
Ss-Ths following were the resolutions
adopted
The Democratic party Of Bottineau county
endorse the national. territorial and legis-
lative democratic platforms. And We espee-
tally endorse the national democracy in its
efforts to reduce taxation for the people and
against monopoly. We believe that property
should pay import duties, not poverty. We
feel proud Of the fact that the democratic
party has made war upon monopoly, trusts.
combination and excessive taxation, having
for its objects the protection Of the laborlng
and producing classes from the gross injus-
tice to which they have been subjected for
many years, from the burdens Of which they
must and shall be relieved, The democratic
party Of Bottineau county in sympathy
with the national democracy, pledges itself
to practical economy in county affairs.
The Bottineau pioneer. (Bottineau, N.D.) 1885-1895, 1888-10-18
Let us Help One Another.

We have been shown letter from Mr..
Crooks of the celebrated firm of Gotxian &
Co., st. Paul, addressed to our neighbor, Jo
Coryell, in which he points out the method
Of obtaining relief by those who have suffer
ed from loss of their crops. The proper way
is for you to organize, says Mr.. Crooks
have proper men sign communication and
send your wants directly to the Governor,
and then you can get aid from the entire
east.
1t is to he hoped that the distress is not
50 extensive IS to need the charity of the
east or anywhere outside of our own terri.
tory and if possible, our own county. Let
us hslp one another and to that end, as
suggested, We call meeting Of the farmers
to take into consideration the necessities and
duties of the hour. The PIONEER will start
the ball with contribution Of $25.

Miohie's First Gun.

On Saturday last tho largest number Of
farmers ever assembled together in Rolstte
county, met al Dunseith for. the purpose Of
considering the question Of getting seed
wheat, and to hear Geo. Niche on the issues
of the day. 1t is not too much to say that
our George fairly took the farmers of Rolette
county by storm, by his honest, clear and
earnest exposition Of the needs Of the farm
ers, and ne Mr.. George Batho and others Of
whom We have inquired, concerning Mr.
Michie's effort, say, with one accord; he
made q very good impression and there is
no doubt but that the farmers of Roletts will

'Oh. yes, we studied physiology and
anatomy at the Normal college. and
once a party of us tried vivisection."

fair the other evening.
" visection! You don't mean it?'
"Yes. and on a frog. too. Seven of
rs girls went up to the Harlem woods
one bright October aftern Don to gather
leaves for examination in botany. We
had just reached a shady nook when
an unsuspecting frog leaped upon the
scene. With u accord we dropped

reached for the frog"
What! You didn't touch the horrid
thing?"
Indeed we did. and v girls

Certainly not. We wanted to see

put him back into the water, but Ida
said. No. we've made an idiot1o o him.

We happened TO have q dull penknife

for the operations; we put the frog on a

a DEAD MANS BEARD.
Growing for Thirteen Years I'm a
Grave mt Carson.

Growing for Thirteen Years I'm q
Grave mt Carson.
Old-timers will doubtless remember
the death Of Hal Clayton some thirteen
years ago. says a Carson (Nev.) special
to The San Franc cisco Examiner. He
was a gambler by profession, OF the
better class OF sports. and when he
died of a fever was buried ia "a vault
in a cemetery and his body placed in
a costly metallic casket under a glass
case.
His wife, who was frantic with grief.
placed her diamonds on his shirt front.
These stones were valued at $500.
Fearful lest the gems would be taken
from the vault, she placed IA watch at the
tomb. and ii was maintained for many
weeks. Clayton was q Southerner,
and the body was disposed OF. after
the Southern fashion, above ground.
A few days ago George Dobbs. who
has care of the cemetery, was possessed
with a curiosity to visit Hal Clayton's
tomb, and, securing the keys OF the
vault took u look at the remains. He
was astonished to find C%layton's beard
and mustache had grown under the
glass case to such an extent that they
reached below his knees. The massive
beard vas a rich brown color, extend
ing in wavv masses over the
