easier and more disastrously than a whole
herd of cattle. The sheep will huddle and
roll along without being ground to pieces
until the engine leaves the track.
The wheels of government are running
smoothly at the capitol. The governor and
the attorney general are away as usual,
but Capt. Gregg, the efficient private secre-
tary of the governor. knows pretty well
how to take care of gubernatorial affairs
himself.
Father Perrault was in town Tuesday,
entertaining Father Brennan of James

The Llvona correspondent of the En-
mons County Record says: "Your cores
pOndent is informed that Mrs. John Hen
derson, formerly of Livona, but now of
Ste wartsdale, Burleigh county, met withsa
streak of good luck recently. Ever since
her mothers and brothers deaths Mrs.

sion on account OF the death of her father,
Mr.. Zimmerman, who was a soldier in the
late war. She has just received it and it

Almost the entire contents of three re-
frigerator cars were unloaded at this point
for Bismarck merchants Friday. It was
refrigerator day for the merchants. They
were laying in a stock of bananas, grapes,
apples, melons and all kinds of fruits and
vegetables for Sunday trade. California
fruit comes around via st. Paul. When the
Northern Pacific was extended out west
the dealers here thought it would make a
great reduction in freight rates, but it
doesn't. 1t is cheaper to ship from Cali
fornia to Bismarck via st. Paul than it is to
ship direct.
By the looks Of things John R. Cook has
got 1T in for j. E. B~ritton-and j. E. Brit

plead guilty or %repudiate the statements
made by MI. Cook, Giving all sides a
square deal, however. it cannot be denied
there was a row at Berthold in which Mr..
Cook figured quite prominently. The
Mandan and Stanton papers lave it from
different sources. Who is to be believed ?
Mr.. Britton says that Mr.. Cooks appoint
ment as boss farmer at the agency has not
yet been confirmed by the department, al
