CAUGHT AT THE COURT HOUSE.

County Matters Of More or Less In.
terest.--Real Estate Picking Up.
Register Ashley's business has been
growing since the rains and the direct
effect on real estate caused by the crop
outlook. Two deputies we're busy this
morning on the books. Mr. Ashley is a
close observer snd notes the fact that
fewer chattel mortgages have been fled
by the farmers this spring than for sew
eral years past, while an unusual mum
Der Of Accomplishments have been made
not on account OF renewals. It is too
early to record many machinery mort
cages, but it is believed that the number
will continue to be small. The farmers
are economizing and making no new
mortgages. About the only kind that
are appearing for record are hail insur-
ance liens. Outside of the elevator
companies few, if any, seed liens have
been filed.
The activity in real estate is very no
ticeable over former months. A good
many transfers from outside parties to
other outside people have occurred. The
news of the prosperity that is coming to
the state this year has made the lands
saleable to others If not to residents. It
begins to look as if the crop would bring
in good many people to begin farming
operations again. A good deal of ab-
stracting has been done on account of
the sales of the lands belonging to the
Jay Cooke estate. There are 5000 acres
of these lands in Stutsman county, most
of them being known as the Spiritwood
farms. The purchasers have been New
York, Philadelphia ahd st. Paul real es-
tate men.
In Clerk of Court Branch's Office lit
tie business of public character has
been transacted, owing to the delay in
getting the new land office officials in
stalled at Fargo. A number of cases
from this county are awaiting the COM
| pletion of the red tape process of the
! government.
In Sheriff Schmitz' department little
of interest has developed of late. An
occasional sale of some fellows claim,
| long since abandoned, is made to the
MORTGAGE. Eastern parties are getting
considerable land in this way.
The county board of equalization ex-
pected to close it's session today. They
may adjourn, however until another date.
Very few complaints Of unjust assess
ments have been made, and as a conse-
quence the board has had little work to
do. The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany owns about 243, 900 acres of land in
this county, upon which it is understood
the company intends to pay taxes as
sessed this year. This policy is being
adopted in all the other counties where
the company owns land. The attorney
general informs the county treasurer
that the gross earrings tax, in his opinion,
paid for last year.

The G. A. Camp.

Hon. G. II. Dickey of Racine, WIS.,,
the gentleman who offered the enormous
reward for G. E. Blackwell, the cham
pion fish romaucer OF the Truthful
James club, arrived in jamestown today.
The gang will assemble again this year
IN their old haunts and there will be ad-
dltions, in all probability, both to their
numbers, and to Arabian Nights charac-
ters in the entertainment.
The dance at the Gray Bros barn
promises to draw large attendance
Thursday night. Mrs. Gray will furnish
refreshments consisting OF ice cream
cake, etc. at reasonable prices. Every
body who can will attend from the camp
and many from the country. not regular.
ly enlisted campers, will drive in for the
event, which will be special one for
Stutsman county. The floor of the barn
is large and will be put in good shape
for dancing. The music will be by the
jamestown orchestra.
The Cooperstown campers are having
plenty of amusement with the two
couples who drove in to jamestown and
registered for dinner at the Gladstone.
The record shows that Messrs. Geo. B.
Clark and lady and A. L. Bowden and
lady we're the hotels guests, but a Daily
Alert reporter interpreted, as is custom
ary, the same to indicate the arrival of
two staid old married couples. This
"personal" was noticed at home, for the
Grlggs County Courier, with unnecessary
expedition, congratulates all concerned.
A young man getting a load of hay
for his camp from the Gray Bros. barn
had narrow escape from death or per-
manent injury, ,Mondaynight. As the team
started out OF the easti door of the barn,
the driver slipped and failed to guide
the team which turned off steep bank
and threw the young man from the load.
Both wheels passed over his back, fortu-
nately breaking no bones. He was i'm
mediately surrounded by friends who
seemed to think him not seriously hurt
and who rendered him every attention
possible.
A very lively and enthusiastic party of
G.. A. r. men, their friends and families,
pulled onto Fifth avenue early Tuesday,
having come all the way from Steele by
wagon since yesterday. They spent the
night at Eldrldge and arrived in James,
town at 8 a. m. They will put in the
time at Spiritwood lake until the camp
breaks up. The gentlemen were Col. J.
w. Carroll, William Sheppard, James
Ashley, Chauncey Sanders, JAS Baylis
and Clint Patterson. all with their fam
lilies, baggage and necessary equipment
for high old time in camp. There
we're over twenty people in all, in the del
egation.

Trouble with Cortnne Mail.

Trouble with Corinne Mail.
The postoffice authorities are expert
encing some trouble with the Coricne
mail route. The transportation of mail
matter on star routes is let out on con-
tract for four years by the government.
Eastern contractors generally get these
contracts and then sub-let to local parties.
The old contract on the Corinne route
ran out July 1st and new contract for
the next four years was entered into
with Call & Cowles of Iowa. They sub
let this route to Marcus Mutz. Marcus
has had lot of hard luck since he took
the run. One of his horses died and the
other ran away and demolished his
vehicle. He made one trip on foot and
then reported to the jamestown office
that he would throw up his contract
If he had to 60 to jail for it," The mat
trips we're missed. The authorities at
Call 4 Cowles. The former telegraphed
rary arrangement and the contractors
sent man out to arrange to carry out
their contract. Their representative Is
now in the city for that purpose. The
local authorities acting under instruc-
tions from Washington made tempo
rary arrangement with A. w. Kelley and
the mail started this morning for Corinne
as of yore. The Corinne people have made
no protests and will be unlikely to find
grounds for any IN the future.
The Corinne route is the most import
ant star route in the county, embracing
some seven postoffices. The contract
was taken at figure that was probably
considerably less than the work could be
done for. Among the Offices supplied
are Albion, Grays, Horn, Corinne, Mutz,
Karlopolis.

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
His sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.

Those who saw much of Abraham Lin
coin during the later years of his life,
were greatly impressed with the express
sion of profound melancholy his face al
ways wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced, very happily,
as it proved, his entire political career.
They would not seem, at first glance, to
be efficient aids to political success; but
in the peculiar emergency hich Lincoln,
by the providence of God, was called to
meet, 10 vessel of common clay could
possibly have become the "chosen OF the
Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boy
hood knew that early griefs tinged his
whole life with sadness. His partner In
the grocery business at Salem vas I'm
Gle" Billy Green, of TaIIula, Ill who used
at night, when the customers we're few,
to hold the grammar while Lincoln re-
cited his Lessons

told the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rntlidge; and he, in return, offered what
comfort he could when poor Ann died,
and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke

hated to see him feel bad, an' I'd say,
Abe don't cry;' an he'd look up an
say can't help it, Bill, the rams a
falin' on her."
There are many who can sympathize
with this overpowerirg grief as thew
think of lost loved one, when "the
rains fallin' Oh her" What adds
poignancy to the grief sometimes is the
thought that the lost one might have
been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William Johnson,
of Corona, l. l., builder. who writes
june 2S, 1890: Last February, on re.
turning from church one night, my daugh-
ter complained OF having pain in her
ankle. The pain gradually extended un-

painful to the touch. We called physi

Americans Receive Fair Treatment.

DENVER, Col. % Col. A. j. Sampson
who for the past two years has been
United States consul at PasO del Norte

Sampson was asked regarding numerous
complaints which have been sent out
relative to i'll treatment Of Americans
arrested at Paso del Nurte and said: Il
have this to say, arrests have beer
wildly exaggerated. If an American
disobeys the law III Mexico he is arrested
just the same as a Mexican would be.
Mexican laws differ from those of our
country. If an American can not abide
by them he should not remain. The olii-
GERS are supposed to uphold the law, and
so far as have seen they do 30. Ameri-
cans are given as speedy trial as posi-

nation in their favor. 1t is the consul's
duty at Paso del Norte to look out that
other prisoners are not given the prefer

Quoted fairly and many cases which have
been reported to American newspapers
know from my own personal exaEina-
ton are gross y exaggerated.

The territorial and county assessment
roll turned over to the sheriff and collector
in 1889 amounted to $74 ,G66 46, therefore
under the above law that officials bond
during the year 1889 should have been at
least double that sum, or $l49, 1872 81. The
Ierrltorial and county assessment roll for
1890, turned over to the sheriff and col
lector, amounted in the aggregate to
$66 .975 43, hence the bond now should
be at least $l33, $50 Sc.
Compare the law and the facts with the
above table-and what do tax payers think
of the situation?
