Aspirants for legislative honors in
Griggs county this year were not very
numerous. We are unable to account
for the dearth in ofice-seekers, unless
it be that there is not enough money
in the office.

Probably the most important posi-

of supreme court judge. For this
position three of our prominent law
yers and best men, viz: Guy c. H..
Corliss, of Grand Forks; ]. NJ. Bar
tholomew, Of LaMoure, and Alfred
Wallin, of Fargo, have been nomin-
ated by the republican state conven-
ton. While we do not know the
candidates personally we believe that
they are eminently qualified for a
judgeship ON the supreme bench or
they would not have been nominated.
See that the names of these gentle
men get on your ticket before you

His resignation was called for, which

was honest in everything he did and
thought he was doing the best he
could for the administration, but the

At the 9th judicial convention al
Jamestown, Wednesday,O. H. Hewitt,
Esq, Of Jamestown, was nominated
by Scott, of Barnes, and seconded by
every county in the district. Mr..
Hewitt is a lawyer ofrecognized abili-
ty, temperance man, gentleman
ofgood judgment, and will make an
excellent Judge, if felected. This idea
that Mr.. Rose can not be beat is only
a democratic chestnut. Mr.. Rose is
fine man and a good Judge, but Mr..
Hewitt is his equal as man and a
lawyer, and will make just as good a
judge, and besides he is temperance
man. Vote for o. H. Hewitt, of
Stutsman county, and you will elect
a man that will be an honor to the
bench. Mr.. Hewitt was born in Blair
county, Pennsylvania, in 1858, edu-
Gated at Perryville college, studied
law with his father, Hon. Benz. l.
Hewitt, and was admitted in 1880.
Came to Dakota in 1881, and settled
in Jamestown and practiced there
ever since. He has never asked Or
held an office at the hands of the peo-
PIE. He is and always was republi-
can and against the saloon. A very
modest record, but clean one. He
will make clean record as Judge,
vote for him.

DENVER, Oct. 31.-A Republican spe-
cial from Espanola, New Mexico, says:
News comes from Las Cruces, sixteen
miles east of here, that a very old Mexi-
can lady, who with her son was in the
pinon groves, several miles from here,
was eaten by bear.
The mother and son became sepa-
rated during the afternoon and at night
the son camped and built fire and
waited all night long for his absent
mother. At daylight he started to find
her and after several hours search found
her torn clothing, bones and hair There
were plenty OF bear tracks where the
remains we're found.
News comes from Abequine, thirty
miles west, that a 12-year-old boy has
been missing for several days. The en-
tire population turned out this morning
to search for him. Fears are entertained
that he has been eaten by bears. He
was also gathering pinons. Bears src
plentiful on Chama, forty miles west

A DREAM OF THE PAST.
A Western Union Official Talks
About the Behring Sea Tel
egraph Project.
Four Hundred Miles of Wire Aban-
doned to the Bears and
Indians.

Mr.. F. III. Lamb superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
with headquarters in San Francisco, was
in the city yesterday and left last even
ing on d tour of inspection of the COM
panys lines in Eastern Washington.
Mr.. Lamb is a pioneer in telegraphing
on the Pacific coast, and tells many in
teresting "reminiscences of construction
work in the early days. He was a men,
ber of the party sent out to construct
line to Behring sea to connect, by means
of cable, with line on Russian territory.
This was the earliest conception"
said Mr.. Lamb, ''of telegraphic commu-
nication between America and the old
world. II was daring idea, and was
being rapidly pushed toward consumma-
ton, but the success of the Atlantic ca
Bile startled the world and nipped our
enterprise in the bud.
ITO this conception the people of
Western Washington and British Column
bia owe their early news connection with
a line from Oregon to Puget Sound, and
thence into British Columbia where we
strung 800 miles of wire through the
widest of wild countries. Tins was one
of the links in the great Behring sea
scheme.
"Thc cost of construction was fright
ful-twenty- five cents pound for the
wires which had to be carried to the front
on pack animals, over wild Indian trails.
When the Atlantic cable was laid, and
proved success, we abandoned 400
miles of this line TO the bears and In
dians. The remainder of the line in
British Columbia we turned over to the
Dominion government"
would the line have been a paying
one II the ocean cables had not been
laid?" asked the REVIEW reporter.
81 doubt it. We experimental one
winter on this link by building houses
at intervals OF twenty-five miles and
placing two men in each as line repair
ers. But when the long Arctic winters
set in the cold became so intense that it
was with great difficulty they managed
to gather sufficient fire wood to keep
from freezing. Repairing was out OF
the question"
What do you think, Mr.. Lamb, of
the scheme of building railroad to
Alaskan
There are many obstacles to such a
line, and it certainly would not pay for
many years to come, possibly never.
In the first it would have to cross Brit
ish territory. The country is very wild
and rugged and after you leave the
Fraser Valley grain will not mature
We experienced much difficulty while
in that section in getting oats for our
pack animals. There is really nothing
TO build to, for even the timber in the
vicinity of our old telegraph line is
stunted and inferior"
"How are you impressed with the
growth of Washington2"
at is simply wonderful. Why, in
Spokane Falls We are actually doing
more business than we did in Portland
in 1888. The same may be said of the
Sound cities"
Mr.. Lamb Yves for long time sta
toned at Portland, but of more recent
years has had his headquarters in San
francisco,

SCHOOLS FOR INDIANS.
Elaborate Scheme Of Commits
sioner Morgan.
The AMERICAN SCHOOL SYSTEM
With Changes Adapted to the
Requirements of the In
dian Children.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Morgan has elaborated
u system of education for all Indians.
1t Is practically the American school
system adapted to the special require
ments of Indians. II is to be non-parti-
san and non-sectarian, and the indus
trial feature is to receive special prom
inence. The "outing SYSTEM" by which
pupils are placed In white families and
attend public schools,is to be encouraged
wherever practicable.
II is proposed to develop full high
school course in at least three Indian
schools, Carlisle, Haskill and Chemawa,
and in others as fast as needed. These
high schools are TO take rank in equip
mcnt and character OF work with similar
institutions for white people.
The scheme contcmplates the organiza-
tion of perhaps twenty-five grammar
schools, fifty primary or home schools,
and enough day or camp schools to reach
all who can not be bmught into board
Ing schools. Congress will be asked to
make a sufficient appropriation to en-
able the Indian Office at AN early day to
bring every Indian youth of school age
that can be reached under proper in
strtlctions.

IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Judge Dewolrs Opinion I'm tho Tun'
mol Precinct Case.


HELENA. Oct. 3l.-Judge DeWolfe
gave decision when court met at 0;30
this morning, wherein the celebrated
mandamus case of John j. MoHatten,
democratic candidate for curcuit judge,
was plaintiff, and Jack and Hall, can
vassing board of Silver Bow county,
defendants. The mandamus was
for the purpose of preventing the count
ing of the vote of the disputed Tunnel
district "a. The judge ordered thnt a
peremptory writ of mandate be issued
ordering Jack and Hall to proceed forth
with to canvass the vote.
Judge Krawles, counsel for the can
vassing board, lied Immediately notice
of appeal and asked a stay of proceeding
unfit the case could be brought before
tho supreme court.
Probate Judge Irvine, democratic
member of the canvassers, expressed
satisfaction at DeWolfe's ruling, and re-
fused to join the republican members to
appeal to the court. The democrats all
claim that DeWolfe's decision will be
that an appeal, in the absence of Com
missioner Jack, who is i'm Europe, can
not be taken by Hall, and this ruling
will settle the matter, 1t is claimed, Civ
ing five democratic majority in the legis-
lature.
Mr. Hall says he is not satisfied with
the decision, and wants TO appeal. OBJ
lection Is raised that as a single member
of the board, which he is a minority
thereof, he has no right to appeal,
when his colleague. Irvine, representing
the same vote on the board, refuses.

Burke Said to Have Confessed to .
Fellow-Pr risoncr.
WINNIPEG, Oct. 31.-To-day Assistant
States Attorney Baker of Chicago and
Lawyer Howell elected new and, IL true,
important information from Gillette,
late iellow-prisoner of Martin Burke.
Burke said the plot had been to decoy
Cronin from his house by Coughlin and
woman. Afterward Coughlin changed
the plan and decoyed Cronin by means
of O'Sullivan's business card. Burke
told Gillette that the woman in question
kept furnished lodgings on North Clark
street in Chicago. Burke mentioned as
associates with himself Coughlin, Cooney
and O'Sullivan. The intention was to
sink the body in the lake, but a confed-
crate who was to meet them with q boat
failed to keep his appointment.
Gillette says Burke went twice to a
lawyers office on Dearborn street, Chi
cago, and got money for doing the job.
Cronin's clothes were brought to Winni-
peg and hidden there. Gillette told Ba-
ker how Burke told him in detail of the
murder-how Cronin was clubbed as he
stepped inside the cottage door, and how
they took the body to the lake, and not
finding boat there, threw II in. Fear
ing, however, 1t would wash up on the
beach, II was taken back, placed in a
trunk, and afterwards put in the catch
basin.
Gillette's story is very circumstantial.
Baker is inclined to believe 1t straight,
In spite of the apparent improbability
of Burke having confe ssed.
