JAMESTOWN ALERT: The Alert is
pleased to see that the republicans of the
Eddy -Foster-Wells district have sHonest
Dave" Wellman as one of their candidates
for the house. Mr.. Wellman is a gentle
man of character and ability. He was q
power among the farmers of the last legis-
lature and good friend of jamestown and
her institution.
In Iowa in 1880 there were 3,OS4 govern
ment licenses for the sale Of liquor. In
1886, under prohibition, the number in
creased to 4,0SS-an increase of 999. These
figures, Of course, do not include the untold
number of "kitchen bars and abOOt leg
supplies" It's certain that if the question
Of prohibition were submitted to the people
of Iowa tomorrow, without any other
question, it would be defeated by a large ma
jority, and there is no doubt that majority
of the state is in favor Of regulating the
liquor business by license law.
FARGO ARGUS: Ex-Governor Ordway's
attention was called to paragraph in the
Pioneer Press, saying that one district in
Walsh county had instructed against him
for the United States senate. The governor
said that this was an error, as he had been
advised by those present. The question Of
instruction on the senatorial question was
raised in the western district convention,
but SO much opposition to any instruction
was developed that no regular motion was
made BY any delegate or acted upon. The
chairman Of the meeting. who is said to
have shown great prejudice, undertook to
stampede II, but failed. AS to the legisla-
tive nominees on the republican ticket in
Walsh and other counties so far as heard
from, he stated they were satisfactory To-
him and he was not aware Of half . dozen
whom he considered hostile.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA .Jack the Ripper
case came to light in the little suburban
town Of Clyde this morning. The mutt
lated body Of man was found lying on
the prairie near that place. The head was
nearly severed from the body and lay be-
side the trunk, from which all vital organs
had been removed. Portions OF the limbs
were scattered about. It is possible the
fragments have come from dissecting
table. The coroner will investigate.

Base Bali Gossip,

ST. LOUIS, Sept M.-The editor of the
Sporting News to-day. received the follow
ing letter from well known member of
the Boston club. 1t is the only statement
so far received from a player in relation to
the stand about to be taken by the brother
hood. For that reason it is a most import
ant document, corroborating, as it does, the
statement made by other parties and which
have already been published: II thought
would write you few lines in regard to
the brotherhood of the national league
players. You remember in the spring /
wrote that we contemplated a strike,
owing to the way we had been treated by
the directors Of the league in relation to
the classification system. After careful
consideration Of the matter, however, we
concluded that to strike then would be
70 break our contracts. and would be sure
to rob us of the sympathy of the public.
After long discussion we concluded to
start an association of our own and to ask
no more fav0rs from the directors of the
league. Some Of the best men in the land
are back Of the scheme and the players
and all will be heard from just as soon as
new brotherhood contract is one Of the
best ever gotten up. It will hold players to
to their agreement tighter than vice.
It will not only give the public
good ball playing, but every player will
work with vim, well knowing he is
directly interested in the gate receipts.
The better position club holds the more
money there will be for the members Of
that team at the close Of the season. Some
people are Of the opinion that players will
try to run the thing to suit themselves.
This is not the idea. Men of money will
not invest large sums without knowing
what is in store for them. It will simply
bea transfer to other directors. Parks
will be located as near as possible to
the business parts Of all cities and agents
have been working it up since. could
have told you lots of this before, but /
wanted to get at all the facts SO you could
depend on anything told you. The
league, Of course, are keeping the matter
quiet. and no matter what happens do not
mention my name in connection with this
letter. Spalding is all broken up over to-
days developments, and so is Anson

Once q Guerilla 70.

WASHINGTON, January &C. w.
West, who was appointed Governor of
Utah by President Cleveland, arrived
in Washington Sunday night, and in
tends to appear before the House COM
mittee on Territories Wednesday, to
oppose the admission of Utah as a
State. "This sentiment" he says, sis
shared by nearly every non Mormon or
Gentle in the Territory" West
places his objection on the broad
ground that the Mormons are unfit
to exercise the rights of citizenship.
Governor West said: ITO give these
people the sovereign rights proposed
would be to place every non Mormon
in Utah completely at their mercy.
Under a Territorial form OF govern
ment, we are protected by Congress
and the executive. Confer the right of
statehood upon Utah and the Mormons
would frame constitution and laws so
unjust and arbitrary in their character
that an outsider could not live among
them. Hence, say, all non-Mormons
in the Territory; without regard to
parties, oppose the proposition Of
statehood"
What do you propose as a sub
stitute2''
Il favor leaving it a Territory but
so amending the law as to abridge the
power of the church. A Territorial
Commission, acting in conjunction with
the Governor, which would control all
the appointments, would answer our
purpose exactly. Utah would then
enter upon an era of prosperity such as
no other Territory has ever known"
