Down in Stutsman county there is an
effort being made by johnson Nickeus,
Lieutenant Governor Dickey and others
to prevent the nomination of Hon. Bal
ley Fuller for state senator. The people
of Stutsman county will make a mistake
if they do not send MI. Fuller back to
the Legislature. Mr.. Fuller is one of the
strongest men in the state and can do
more for Stutsman county than any other
man in it. The republican legislative
convention for the Stutsman district will
be held next Monday.

All the members of the board left for
their homes last evening and the clerical
work of compilation will be rushed on by
Auditor Bray as fast as possible. Under
the revenue law he must certify to the
county auditors of the state by September
18th the changes made, and this will be the
basis on which county levies are made.
The state valuation causes no difference in
local taxes, as all such are levied in a lump
sum and an increased valuation simply
makes a smaller rate per cent. If all the
state taxes are collected the revenue will
be $3.50 900, a sun just about sufficient to
pay running expenses of public institu-
tions and offices now in operation.

Glandered Horses.

Fargo Republican: Veterinary Surgeon
Langdon returned yesterday from Penn
bina, where he has been looking after
glandered horses. He reports that on Mon
day, he killed and buried in one grave at
that place no less than twenty-seven horses
-.tWenty-four Of which belonged to State
Treasurer Booker, two to W.J.S S. Trail,
and II to Charles Atkinson. Some: of Mr..
Booker's were valuable horses; one Of Them
was less than a year old; ana Dr.. Langdon
estimates tn g average value Of the twenty
four at 500. He states that all Of Mr..
Booker's-l21 in number are now quaran-
tined; and that three have been isolated,
and there is no telling how many more will
take the disease. "A number of these
horses that were killed Mr.. Booker had
sold to neighbOriDg farmers, u he
promptly replaced them with sound AMI
mails. Or. Langdon says that this is the
most extensive and fatal outbreak Of the
disease that has rel occurred in the
state.

Hon. M. N. JOHNSON gives utterance
to the following logic in the Grand Forks
Plaindealer: "Some newspapers have
said some very complimentary things
about me, and others have criticised me
sharply. T. have never derived any
benefits from the compliments, but have
always been benefited by the criticisms.
They point out my failings and Imperfect
lions, and I am in that way enabled to
correct them"

FARGO is to be lighted by twenty arc
lights. The town has been in darkness
since June, when the towers were blown
down. BY the way, it is noticed that
Fargo pays for a fve-year contract for
all-night light 500 each per month for
twenty lights. This is nearly double
what Bismarck will pay under the new
contract. The recent proposition of the
electric light company gives Bismarck
the best light for the least money of any
city of it's size in the country.

IT is believed that the absense of Hon.
Jesse Frye from jamestown during the
past month contributed to his defeat for
nomination on the republican ticket for
district attorney of Stutsman county.
AS it turned out, his opponent, Mr.. Glas-
pell, got there with ease. The county
ticket nominated in Stutsman seems to
be made up of all the factions which har-
monies the party and makes the ticket
strong. Stutsman county is all right.

JUDGE Rose lodged a bomb shell into
the camp of the prohibitionists by his
recent decision in the Barnes county
original package case. The judge is a
cool, conscientious man, and knows what
he is doing. If the law be enforced as
the Judge construes it, there will certainly
not be so much beer sold, although there
will be no difficulty in getting it. Treat.

sarily be done way with.

The action Of the state board of equal
ization in cancelling all deductions for
credits, as returned by the various coun-
ties and ordering them stricken from the
lists, is a proceeding of doubtful expedi-
ency, if not entirely unlawful. In a
county like Grand Forks, where the de-
ductions amount to nearly $1,000, 900,
there will most likely 60 up a small
