NOT A LEGAL FLAG.
The Forty-two Stars Can't Float Un-
til the Next Glorious Fourth

Although the navy department has issued
an order to the effect that hereafter all flags
made for the navy shall contain 40 stars, a
request from the assistant treasurer at New
York for flag of this description has been
refused by the treasury department. The
official of the revenue marine bureau, which
distributes flags to the custom houses, reve-
nue. marine boats etc, hold that flag with
az stars is not a legal flag, and will not be
until the next Foui tn of July. The law says:
ION the admission of a new state into the
union one star shall be added to the union
of the flag and such addition shall take eff
feet oh the Fourth day of July then next sue
ceeding such admission" ''The flags with
AZ stars are just one year ahead of time"
said a revenue marine official to a reporter.
"The local contractor who furnishes all our
flags says that all the flags that he makes for
private individuals contain the increased
number of stars. That is all right SO far as
private parties are concerned. but the gov
eminent must have legal flag or nonen

$1,25O,OOO at bakersfield, Cal.
Fire broke out in the kitchen of N. E. Kel-

efforts it spread to the adjoining building,
also of wood, and to the Southern hotel
There it spread rapidly, with the result that
every business house in town is burned, be-
sides about 40 dwelling houses, involving
loss of perhaps 81, $4,000. The insurance
is $500, 900. The fire department could not
begin to cope with the fire, it came
so quickly, burned SO fiercely and spread SO

LIEUT.. CARTER INDICATED.
The Charges Denounced as Traitor
GUS and DaStarlly,

The report of Col. Hughes, inspector-gen
eral in regard to the case of Lieut. o. M.
Carter, engineer corps, has been received at
the war department. Lieut.. Carter has
charge of the river and harbor improve
ments in Georgia ard Fl rida and was
charged by w. r. Curtis, former employe,
with bribery aud corrupt practices in con-
necdon with thos, works. The charges
were investigated by Col, Hughes, and his
report completely exonerates the officer and
describes the charges as "A traitorous and
dastardly attack upon an innocent man."
Col. Hughes says that iuasmuch as the gov
ernment is not blessed with very many ser
wants who exhibit the zeql and expend the
energy that Carter has shown in his work,
great care should be taken to protect them
from unwarranted abus,. The report has
been approved by the secretary of war.

An exchange in the combination
that located the public institutions by
the constitution, affects to think it
inconsistent in some papers to oppose
the adoption Of the constitution, and
at the same time advocate the cleo
tion of certain officers under that
constitution. That is simply non
sense. If the constitution carries. the
officers elected under it will serve as
such during the terms prescribed by
it, and it is important that good men
be elected to meet such contingen-
cy. No matter how vigorously man
may oppose the constitution and work
to secure its rejection, he should as
vigorously labor to secure the election
to office of good men and have them
ready to make the best OF it if the
constitution should carry. There is
still another contingent question Of
importance in this election, and that
is in the selection of members of the
legislature. There is certainly a pre-
dominating sentiment among the peo-
pie Of North Dakota against that part
of the constitution which located the
public institutions and apportioned
the land grant in a trading scheme Of
the politic;ans,and a legislature should
be elected that will at once proceed
to undo that imposition by an amend
ment to to the constitution. .Selec

depended upon in this respect as.wel
as in the other respects.-Jamestowr

rolling in any state in the union. A

governor, an editor for congress, and,
in fact, nearly every kind and condi-
