itoba, because he can get it cheaper
and better than at home; sometimes he
calls on his neighbors for "a favor"
etc. A few evenings ago he called on a
gentleman. who, at one time, was in
the liquor business but is now retired,
to replenlsh his empty bottle. He in
this last case offered pay Of course. but
his neighbor. too accommodating to
refuse favor" and too honorable to
sell without license in a high license
country, filled Elder Blanks bottle
freely without money aud without
price," Yet Elder Blank is the devoted
husband of a Nv. G. L. o." woman
who with himself made it uncomfor-
table for their pastor, who, in the in
terest of true temperance, undertook
last year to expose The unrighteous
methods of the promoters Of the pre-

us from such hypocrites and tyrants as
Elder Blank of Pembina.
The Grand Forks Herald's charge
that PRESIDENT Fancher refused TO read
the protest from that town to the co.,
vention is absolutely untrue He gave
the telegram to Clerk Hamilton, and
directed him to read it. Hamilton says
he was on his feet three times, and was
about to read the telegram when he was
cut eff by motions and other business.
The convention was in hurry to get
through Thursday night, and easily
enough the protest was skipped; but it
was not the fault of the president or
the chief clerk. The Plaindealer, OF
Grand Forks, also says that other tel-
egrams of congratulation were received
and read, but not the protesting mes
sage. That io untrue. There were no
kilograms read that night. a. telegram
from the governor Of Idaho was on the
clerks table, and should have been
read, but the convention gave no op-
portunity. Grand Forks men admit
there would have been no kick if the
capital had been located at Grand
Forks. Jamestown people frankly say
if they can't get it they prefer TO give
it to Bismarck. If Grand Forks is
opposed to the constitution, it is as
sumed that the Republican delegation
to Fargo will not press their candidate
before the convention. They cant be
against the constitution and at the
same time for the state ticket. Reports
from Valley City. Fargo, Mayyille,
Pembina, Wahpeton, Devils Lake,
Ellendale, Lis bon, Minot and CARING
ton seem to show that the constitu-
tion is popular in those localities, and
that the public building proposition is
sure of big vote from both parties.

Is. Wilson, of the Lake Superior Oil
company, was making some expert
ments in chemistry last Tuesday even-
ing at West Supe rior, when solution

with the burning fluid. He showed
pretty good grit and determination for
his wrist was terribly burned.
Efforts are being made at Ashland to

who knocked out Prof. Clark, and
Dannie Needham, of St. Paul. a
