the bladder often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weaken

not account for. On examining the urinary de

The Mandan Pioneer publishes some
original IDEAS upon the all absorbing
question Of irrigation, evolved by Z. G.
Rice. a citizen OF Morton county. OF
one of his plans the Pioneer says:
He has another plan which is surely
inexpensive. and looks very much as II
it would be success. 1t IS to put a dam
across some of the coulees. thus forming
a tine receptacle for a pond OF water. and
then let it fiji up with snow water and
the spring rains There is scarceiy a
farm IN Morton county that has not Il
coulee which conld be damed at the
mouth by very little expense, aud
would make pond. say half mile long.
This water could easily be let on to the
fiat land below and could be controlled
at will. As it wonId not bcUecessary to
irrigate later than the middle of July,
there would be but little danger OF the
water daTy, drying Ty,iii1s tip Oil account OF hot Weath-
er. Any farmer who has team and a
coulee can try this way and II 1t Works
we'll there is money in It.

alias, as it we're, Of prominent legal
firm in that city. The headquarters OF
the concern is advertised to be in the
First National bank block, but the office
could not be found. The Argus init
mates, though it does not state positive
ly, that Attorneys Stone e Newman are
the proprietors of the scheme. The
statement in the book that special rates
on legal business are given to Sub
scribers:" in violation of scale OF charges
established by the bar association, is Of
fered as evidence of the "shyster"
character of the compllers.
G. A. Pollock, an ex-districS attorney
of Cass county, who was in the city yes
terday, stated to an Alert reporter that
there was no doubt of the existence OF
such work; that 1t was issued for the
benefit and protection of the business
men in the territory covered, and that
the Argus article would be ancient
history to large majority of that class
of citizens. He said that he didn't think
that any special effort had been made to
keep the enterprise a secret and that the
Argus write up was intended to prejudice
voters against Attorney Newman, repub-
lican candidate for district Judge.
If the statements maze can be sub
stantiated, this desired object will surely
be ACCOMPLISHED. IL - -----

Beals' Bold Break.

Valley City Times Record: Frank
Beals, the rotund commercial man, was
here Tuesday. The last time we met
Frank, he was SELLING pipe for artesian
wells" Assisted by Judge Lowry, he
convinced credulous old lady and a
farmer that the new law compelled the
placing of an artesian we'll on every
quarter section of land, and while the
widow said we were in a worse state than,
slavery, and the farmer declared 1t would
"dreen the EARTH" yet Frank insisted it
was so," and offered to show an order
from one big farmer near Aberdeen for
$4,000 worth of pipe. Just at this point
the engineer wbistled for Buffalo, and
the widow found that the judge and
"pipeman" had ate her watermelon.
Sorrow and anger were depicted on the
widows countenance, and she sought
her '.ambrlll." The Judge crawled on top
cf the caboose and Frank went up ahead
to help the engineer decipher his orders.
It was close call, but sich is life.

The first shot was evidently from be

States That Have Tried and Repudi-
ated Prohlbition.---They Have
Enough oft.
Illinois enacted prohibition in 1855,
but the people repuuiated 1t at the polls
in the same year. .--..
New York passed the law in 1854, tried
it for two years. and gave 1T up as bad
job. na.-.... .@.-.e
Massachusetts tried prohibition for
fifteen years, and finally repealed it as
vain and injurious. s.. s.a~.
An effort to restore prohibition in
Massachusetts was voted down by an
overwhelming majority April %. 1889
Atlanta tried the law for one year, and
repudiated it by an overwhelming ma
jori:y in November 1857. The injury 10
the city was incaculable.
Connecticut enacted the law in 1854,
tried in vain to enforce it for eighteen
years, and then finally repealed it for
eyer in 1872. .r
Ohio enacted prohibition in 1856, and,
after {; few months Of bitter experience,
repealed it forever.
Maryland passed a prohibitory law in
1855. The result was so disastrous, both
to material and moral welfare, that, after
a few months trial, it was repealed and
the lesson WAS SO severe that the ques-
ton has never been raised again in that
state.
New Hamshire tried prohibition for
thirty.fo four years. April Il, 1886, an ef-
fort was made TO incorporate 1t into her
constitution. This was voted down by
an enormous majority. only two counties
in the state giving a majority III favor OF
prohibition.
Deleware tried it in 1855, and after
two years found that 1t SO seriously at
fected the welfare of the state that it was
repealed in 1851.
In Iowa, in 1880, there were 1904
government licenses issued for the sale
Of liquor In 1886, under prohibition,
the number had increased to 4.033
increase of 900. 1t is not within the
limits of reason that any man would pay
for license unless he meant to use It,.
For the year ending April 80, 1881, be-
fore prohibition, 1854 government licens-
es to sell llquor were issued in Kansas.
In the year ending April 30, 1887, after
five years of prohibition, 2,997 licenses
| we're issued; in other words, there were
fifty-eight per cent. more places selling
liquor in the year ending April 80, 1887,
under prohibition, that in the year end
ing April 30, 1881, before the enactment
OF the law. There has simply been a
change of name from saloon" to drug
store."
Maine has more liquor sellers in pro-
| portion to population than many license
| states.
Rhode Island has one liquor seller to
every 243 men. (See Internal Revenue

The Gentleman From Nelson.

Hon. NJ. n. johnson of Lakota, the
Scandinavian leader and republican cam
paigner whom report alternately deals
kindly with and ''makes a monkey
of. delivered strong and sound
political speech at the Opera
rink Saturday night. The people
of jamestown have been more or less
curious about this man johnson. He it
was whose blind fury prompted him to
make the unauthorized and insincere
motion in the constitutional convention
that caused all the local trouble in
Jamestowns over the capital question.
Mr. johnson is of the opinion, or rather
was Of the opinion, that the jamestown
people regard him as sort of Moses, but
the size OF the audience did not tend to
strengthen that belief in the gentleman
from Nelson. In fact, compared with
recent political audiences, that Of Satur-
day night was SO much at disadvantage
that Attorney General Nickeus, who in
troducsd the speaker, felt called upon to
apologize therefor. MIR. johnson in a few
remarks preliminary to his exposition Of
republican doctrne-as he regarded re-
publican doctrine said he had had a
great desire To see what kind OF people
these jamestown folks are and that he
supposed they also had a desire TO see
his .whiskers.' He said he had been
greatly misrepresented by correspond
ents at Bismarck and paid his dlsrespects
70 the Associated Press agent. who was
occasionally obliged to notice in, his re-
ports Mr.. .!ohnson's novel anG often
iudicrous positions. He called the afore-
said 4. P. agent a bright newspaper man
but .'rather unsc@opulous democratic
politician and laid himself open to an
other attack OF blank verse. The Alert
has referred to these matters because
Mr.. Johnson thought it necessary to de
80 himself and because Of Il Iaudable de-
sire to aid the speaker in explaining to
the people what kind Of fellow lie is
and if some Of it's observations are not
tlattering, 1t is simply because truth, and
not The Alert, is unkind.
Mr.. johnson made a good speech--an
argumentative effort OF a high order.
But his position on the tariff plainly in
dicated his alliance leaning and was
somewhat at variance With the sentiments
Of Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan, that we're so
loudly applauded Friday night.
Mr.. johnson presented the republican
position so clearly that most of the re-
publicans who were present. early be-
came convinced that thierparty's positions
were impregnable and left the speaker to
talk to the few democrats who remained

A FARGO SCANDAL.
The Argus Claims that a Prominent
Legal Firm is Conducting Tre-
mendous Blackmailing Scheme.


mendous Blackmailing Scheme.
The Fargo Argus sprung what was in
tended to be startling sensation on the
public Sunday morning. More than a
page Of that issue issue is occupied by
the story. Briefly stated, this is the sub
stance of the affair: The "Union Credit
Company of Fargo has issued large
directory of most of the citizens of Cass
county, Dakota, and Clay county Mime
sofa, claiming for the work that it's Il
commercial rating of the names 1t con-
tains. such as Bradstreet and Dun issue
for the whole country. Unlike these
commercial standards, however, this Is
much more comprehensive in scope and
detail. 1t tlncludes not only business
men, but farmers, laborers, employ ees OF
all classes, landladies-iu fact everybody
in the two counties thatwere ever known
to owe bill. But it doesn't follow the
Bradstreet and Dun plan of estimating
an individuals or a firms capital ana
credit; it devotes its precious self TO
the task of reporting an individuals
methods OF liquidating Indebtedness,
merely. These are the terms OF descrlp
ton used: Pays cash, prompt weekly,
prompt monthly, pay on demand, slow
pay, promises not kept, refused payment,
note protested, left for collection. Judge
ment taken, account paid and totally un-
worthy cf credit"
The Argus claims that it is nothing
more nor less than huge blackmalllng
scheme, that it us totally unworth OF
credit classlties the enterprise along
with the saw dust game and other sImi.
lar swindling devices. Subscribers are
charged S125Oa year for the use OF one
of the books and the reporter who wrote
the article in the Argus makes a very
fair support of his claim that the rating
depends very largely, if not entirely
upon whether or not the party IS sub
scrber-- wherein lies the alleged black
mailing.
But the real sensational feature Of the
story is found in the charge that tins
Union Credit Company is an entirely
II ticious institution; that it Is neither
corporation nor firm, but merely the

The JudSeship Issue.

Certain friends of Juge Rose are loud
ly criticising the republican party for
making the jugeship party Isl IL. Their
cry is "a non.partisan judlciary.' The
people of this county and district will
not forget that it was the democrats and
not the republicans who first made the
judgeship party question. The demo
cratic leaders issued a call for demo-
cratic judicia! convention before any call
had been made by the republicans for a
similar convention. If the friends of
Judge Rose were so anxious that the
Judiciary should be kept out of politics.
why did they not issue call for non
partisan peoples convent on, to which the
adherents of all parties should be invit-
ed? Surely it cannot be assumed that
Judge Rose is the only lawyer in the
Fifth judicial district whose name might
be honorably mentioned for the
position of judge. and Yet these
supporters or Judge Rose, havIag called
not a peoples but a straight democratic
convention, and having nominated him
as the straight democratic candidate, are
censnring the republican party for fol
lowing the example set by themselves
and nominating Il straight republican
candidate for the same place.
The republicans, who constitute
large majority Of the voters of this dis
trict. had no voice in the selection of the
democratic candidate for Judge, and we
doubt very much whether any of them
will be shared INTO voting for him urder
the transparent pretenseof securnga non
partisan Judiciary. tHhe democrats have
pursued similar policy IL al the dis
tricts of North Dakota. They have nom
mated democratic candidates in every
one of them. and IN n majority Of cases
have made their nominations prior TO the
republicans.
