jamestown Alert: Among the import
ant cases decided at the supreme court
last week was that of j. j. Gram VS.. North
ern Pacific Railroad company. IT, is a
Stutsman county case which was brought
against the railroad company to recover
by, a spark from an engine. The court
held that due care in providing appliances
and in operating a train does not relieve a
railroad company from liability for a loss
by, fire which originated from sparks ac-
cldentally thrown out upon inf1ammable
material negligently permitted to accumu-
late and remain upon the right of way.
Due care in II direction does not excuse
negligence il another.
| 1ie JdLucSIOWn Alert gives The IOllOW-
ing advice, which should be needed: In
printing election tickets this fall county
committees should see that the names on
the tickets are arranged in the same order
as the poll books have them. 1t will save
much labor and facilitate the work of the
board. II is frequently the case that the
order OF the offices on the ticket is very
different from that OF the poll book and in
such cases the tally clerks lose a great
dea! OF tim in turning pages back and
forth. Most poll books have a heading for
each officer and committees having charge
OF the printing of tickets will earn the
gratitude Of the judges of election if they
see that the poll hook order is observed in
printing the tickets.

stamped the speaker as a genius in oratory,
and a man of exceptional and brilliant tai
ents, IN whom North Dakota may we'll in
dulge a pardonable pride and for whom
she certainly has bright honors in store,
At the conclusion of MI. Worst's address,
the meeting adjourned.
