Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1889-01-04

A question which will carry with %itls>
it great deal Of interest will be a
bill for constitutional convention
for each section of Dakota. Some
of the members from the south will
hold this to be wholly unnecessary,
while others will favor new consti-
tuition and will urge its adoption so
as to ask for admission under it by
the time congress shall meet in reg
ular session, claiming that this will
be the speediest way into the union.
A suggestion has been made that i'll
view OF approaching statehood the
legislature merely meet and adjourn
until spring, but the idea is not a
popular one. The members would
prefer to secure their sixty days and
have done with it. The men who
go to Bismarck must 50 either for
their health Or for glory; certainly
not for the money there is in it..
The pay is 81 per day while So per
day is charged for board at the best
hotel, which is the one generally
patroniZed.

A Brief Summary of the Life
and Prosperity Of Oalxes
and Her People.
The Year 1858 One of Brightness
and 1889 Promises Even Bet
ter than the Preceding Year.
New Buildings, New People, Re-
newed Hope and Abiding Faith
in Oakes and Her Prosperity.
A City of Life, Enterprise and
Capital !!

One more year has come and one
has just .!'parted, leaving its record
only with our people. Whether
good or bad, protitq BILE or unprofita-
bic, the record is here and to the
world as judges we say, we've done
our best. The ushering in of
the new year makes the city of
Oakes two years old. Two years
ago it was marked only as the lonely
prairie, with a few small farm
houses scattered here and there.
Within that space Of time we have
seen the advent of 4 powerful lines
Of railway; one of the largest roller
process Touring mills in the West,
costing upwards Of s4o,oo6; Ore. sott
the LARGEST and best arranged hotels
in the3 West, the Vinkle, large
graded school, churches, hundreds
Of happy homes, fully equipped
city government, is incorporated
and i'll good healthy running condi-
ton, free from debt, and a popula-
tion Of not less than 500 souls. All
done, as it were, by magic. A hur-
rled glance at the amount of i'm
lprovements would not here be out

There are many other smaller

houses which have done large bus
mess. For instance, the firm of

Scott & Root, the enterprising ma
chine firm, selling over $4,000

A grand total of business done at

be understood is simply the bus
mess of but two Of the railroads
running in this city, and it is fair
to presume the others have not been
asleep during this time. Few towns
in the west we predict can make such
showing for one year.

CITY. and has also held several offices in the
city government
The city schools closed last night for their
spring vacation of three weeks. Both teach
ers aud scholars need the rest, for, judging
from the exercises and recitations upon ex-
animation day, the teachers have been faith
full and the scholars have done good work.
Miss Matte Snow, teacher Of the Page
primary, and Miss Spear of the South Mann
schools, go to Boston Tuesday next to spend
their vacation.
The exercises at the exhibition of the city
high school were given last evening. The
entertainment was excellent in every respect
all did well and reflect great credit upon
their instructors The singing was very
pleasing, especially the "Sleigh Ride" by a
mixed Quaftette.

BATHS MYSTERY
Thomas Mcdonald Walks a Mile With His
Skull Crushed
But is Unable to Tell How He Received
the Wounds.


BARN, March |.
Thursday morning Thomas Mcdonald, the
old son of State Constable Me-
Donald, engaged with Charles Rogers to cut
wood in his woods at North Bath. At about
sundown he appeared almost exhausted at
the house Of his employer with deep cash
in the top of his head. Greatly alarmed,
Mr.. Rogers sprang to his assistance and
asked where he got iuj jured.
"ln the pasture" replied the boy and sank
down in lethargy from which he never
reused himself, dying at eight clock in the
evening. How he received that fatal blow
must forever remain a mystery the lad
was alone in the woods and had TO walk more
than a mile to find assistance which only
came when it could not avail. He was a
bright, ambitious boy and had hired out
with Mr. Rogers for the purpose of securing
funds to aid in meeting his school expenses.

The Senate resumed consideration Of the
Australian ballot bill.
Mr.. Wright said he signed the majority re-
port of the committee that the bill ought not to
pass because he believed there was no necess-
ity for so radical change In our election laws
tie would advocate any measure that would
be instrumental in purifying our election
in which he presumed there was some cor
ruptiOn, but he could see no remedy in the
provisions of the bill. There was no de-
mand for it on the score of intimidation
because It was admitted by the Senator
from kennebec that there is no intimidation.
The Senator placed the necessity for the
measure wholly upon the ground Of bribery.
Gentlemen who appeared before the commit
tee asked for the bill, first on the ground
that it would do away with caucuses, second,
that it wouldprevent intimidation and bribery
and third that it would lessen the expense OF
elections. But the bill itself provide.
for csucuses, an institution which he be
lieved was sacred and should be maintained.
II is the right Of the people to assemble in
their primary meetings and there settle who
shall be their candidates 70 be supported at
the polls. SO far as intimidation was con-
cerned the bill was not necessary. Was
there necessity for il on the ground OF
bribery He found nothing in the bill to
prevent that evil. The man who commit.
crime seeks dAr. places, and when secret
ballot is provided the chances Of bribery are
not lessened but enhanced, and very much
greater than under the present system OF
gong to the polls in an open manner and
casting vote. The bill provides for eIec
ton CLERKS who are to assist voter. who re.
quire such aid. II a man could be hired to
sell bis vote then one Of these election off
GERS could be corrupted, and it would be in
his power to commit greater fraud,
upon the people than could posi-
biy be under the present system
Then the bill provides tbs, the voter must q
into a secret place and there mark his ballo
on which are the various candidates Of eaet
Of the parties He must select from thai
list the candidates for whom he wishes te
vote If he makes a mistake he must returr
the ballot to the clerk and obtain another
and if be does not succeed in preparing it a
