It is said that Col. T. b. Fanche1 has
done some slick work among his unsus.
pecting granger bretheren, and is an &C.

commission. There are few smoother
takers and insistent laborers for the

handsome Fancher.
Bismarck Tribune: j. II. Waugh the
good looking and entertaining gentleman
from jamestown, is said to be here fol
more than his health, and, as he is one OF
the most popular candidates in the field
his friends hope that he will not be a
passenger on the swearing train which
will leave for the east in a few days.
Ephie Totten, who was at Bismarck
after pageship learned last night that
there is no chance for him. He said
nineteen widows with small children had
applied for the job for their boys. Ephie

however, and NAV attract himself into a

The thieves, Friday night some time at,

the upper half of the door opening into
the ticket Office, and, unmolested, cleared

tors repeated the performance early in
the evening, both occasions being times
when the night watchman happened out
of the depot long enough for them to get
in.their work. Both hau!s amounted to
some $15 in small change. Agent Schwel-
lenbach and Chief of Police Ford made
every effort to catch the thieves but as
yet without avail Two men were arrest
ed on the west bound train at Sterling
Sunday morning and brought back to be
identified, but were released, as no eyi-
dence could be brought against them.
Another party was arrested at Valley
City by Chief Ford yesterday, but he
also proved innocent. It is likely that
the cracksmen will get off entirely.

Bismarck Tribune: One of the sad
dest events since the convening of the
legislature was the calling home Of Coun-
Gilman Cameron of Pembina county, who
received a telegram yesterday afternoon
informing him that his little daughter
was dying. He received the news at three
o'clock in the afternoon,a and as no regular
train would leaye for the east until mid
night, Superintendent McCabe of the

instructions to take Mr.. Cameron to Far

seat in the council he will bring the news
of the recovery of his child.

Some Bank Gossip.

The Alert yesterday reported the cleo
tion Of officers for the James River Ma
tlonal bank, and it calls up the fact that
at Valley City, Herbert Root was de-
posed from the presidency Of the Mer-
chants National, and a Minneapolis
stakeholder placed in his stead. Also at
Bismarck, President Fisher, of the
First National, was succeeded by Presi-
dent FairchiId. The election of officers
Of the First National bank of Valley City
was to have been held yesterday, and
Uncle John Russell offered to bet two to
one that he would not have vote cast
against him, but did not know anything
about the election. Uncle John is one OF
the most popular thoroughbreds in the
territory, and is always around where
business IS, or fun lies.

Mr, Fellows and daughter returned
from Wheatland, where they had been
visiting, in time for the social
Miss Hattie Sears has been visiting at
Geo. D. Dewey's for a few days and Miss
Lizzie Morgan at w. H. Doughtyis.
Presiding Elder Plannette preached
here to full house Sunday. All were
pleased and the opinion was general that
for boy he did remarkably well.
The society events of the past week
were the church social at W, H. Doughty's
and the hop at Mr.. Shonlander's. The
latter was grand affair about ii fly,
besides women and children were there
anc kept up the music till daylight Fri
day morning. The church social was
also we'll attended. The scheme was for
the ladies to get up the supper and col
lect small fee from those who ate it to
make up a little purse for the minister.
The result was, expenses nothing, re-
ceipts twenty-five dollars.
In good seasons we would feel little
ashamed of ourselves at such showing
but when you call to mind how we were
dried out and drowned out, and burned
out and biowed out and blighted and
blasted and frosted, and on top OF all this
have had to pay four dollars hundred
for hour-talk about the grasping, grind
ing monopolies of the railroads and the
elevators, but I tell you il there is
grinding monopoly In anything anywhere
it Is in the milling business. But I have
allowed my imagination to carry me away
from the subject.
There is another thing too, that always
makes me mad when think about it, and
that is the hail insurance. I am afraid I'll
get SO mad some day that I'll lose control
of myself and so right up to jamestown
and pay off that confounded note, if l
can get the money, and bid goodbye to
the swindling concerns forever. I've
been in all kinds of insurance and never
got a dollar out of it yet. I've belonged
to at least a half dozen OF the co-operat-
i've mutual life insurance companies but
it was always our internal luck to out hive
the last man who was willing to stay in
except the salaried officers and SO all
that went for nothing and expect the
hail business is just as bad. sic transit

AGAIN IN THE SOUP?
Barnes County's Second Treasury
Defalcation Sensation:

barneS COunty'S second Treasury
Defalcation Sensation.
| Sanborn Enter prise: Something Of a
sensation was created last Tuesday When
it was learned that there was deficiency
in the county treasury of over four thous-
and dollars. No one, apparently, expect
ed anything of the kind, and the report
created considerable excitement. Treas
urer Benson has turned over all his avail
able assets to his bondsmen, and both
they and the county are amply secured.
Mr.. Benson was placed under arrest, but
was Immediately released on bail. It
seems that some of Treasurer Benson's
creditors crowded him pretty hard at the
close of the year, and having assurance
that he could replace it when the time
for settlement with the county commis.
sioners arrived, he was tempted to use
some of the public funds to meet his
private obligations. When the hour for
settlement came and he went to get the
money, he was startled to find that he
could not get tit, though it is said abund-
ant security was offered. THIS we are
told was learned at so late an hour that
no other arrangements could be made
and the exposure came. It would be
folly to say that Treasurer Benson is not to
blame, but his hosts Of friends look upon
the defalcation in the hight df a mlsfor
tune rather than as evidence of dishon-
esty of purpose. The commissioners
finished checking up. the accounts late
Wednesday night and found the defici-
ency to be little more than forty-one
hundred dollars. AS we said before the
county is secure from loss, but the
trouble becoming known. attachments
began coming in against the hardware
firm of G. A. Benson & Co, and to such
an extent that it is believed that they
will be forced to the wall. Tho past has
been an nnprecedentedly bad year for
making collections, and in common with
all our business men, Mr.. Benson has
large amounts outstanding. 1t struck
with particular force IT,, ira esuii treas
- aaan ciJlGi deputy IN the
treasurer's Office for the past four years,
and made some of his bondsmen feel
somewhat timid. While his bond is not
in the required amount yet the commits
sioners accepted it conditionally, and
turned the affairs of the office into his
hands.
