Grand Forks, and the other suit is to COM
pei the road TO haul coal at the rates fixed
by the last legislature. The outcome of
the suits will be watched for with consid-
cradle interest.
The question of lighting the city is again
being pretty generally discussed. and all
agree that it would be Of decided benefit to
the city to have the electric plant IN opera
ton before cold weather sets in. What is
the matter with the plant, anyhow?
Uncle Anderson Bakers platform ap-
pears this issue, and, although q hero'c
attempt was made to dissuade him from
going into print. he swore it should be
p~rinted-nOthing would pull him off the
track, short OF an engineer a two. dollar
6ill-and any %pecuniary advances would
first be taken under adVisement.
Some time during the coming month
Palmer's City band will give a concert and
ball, the proceeds OF which will be used to
purchase new instruments, music, etc.
Prof. Palmer says he intends to build up a
hrst-class band in every respect, and be-
tween now and the date of the first con-
cert will have eight u nine additional
skilled musicians.
The members of the Pioneer Hose CON-
pany No. l are now busily engaged in ad-
vertising a ball to be given by the CON-
pany on Thanksgiving night. The Pho
neer boys are rustlers from away back,
and any comment on the merits of their
entertainments is needlesS-everybody en-
joys them. Bismarck has a good fire de-
partment, and it is a duty of every citizen
to give it every encouragement.
The democratic state committee, through
Captain Braithwaite, requested the county
commissioners to furnish ballot boxes for
ladies to vote at the coming election for
superintendent of public instruction. The
county board referred the matter to Com
missioner Moorllouse, who decided that
There 3 IS no law authorizing separate ballot
boxes for the use of women in a state cleo
ton. The ladies might do as was done in
a certain township in EmmOns county
use a coffee pot to receive ballots.
The Jeffersonians met Saturday in the
courthouse to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
putting a stralght-Out ticket in the field.
There were seven members of the county
committee present, and after some discus
sion a vote was taken on the question. 1t
was decided in the negative, and there will
be no ticket for which the dyed-in-the-wool
can cast his ballot. A committee was ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions condemn
ing the action of some of the democrats in
the recent convention, and the meeting ad-
jOurned.
Colonel Davidson's special Friday night
was well tilled-all bound for Mandan and
a good time. Palmer's city band RECALLED
the democracy on the journey, and Colonel
Benton and W. N. Roach filled them with
music after they got there. The special
left the city about 9 O'Clock p. m. and re-
fed in their usual condition. They speak
in the highest terms of the medicinal prop
critics of the waters Of the a~rtesian well in
that thriving city and of the excellent
music furnished by the band.
The North Dakota W.. G. T. U. at its con-
ventiOn at jamestown, September 10Th,
created a department of charitable work
and elected Mrs. Linda Slaughter superin-
tendent. The object of this department is
to prevent suffering among the DOOr ct the
state during the coming winter, and its
headquarters, together with the depart
lnent of 1.-The Relation of Temperance to
Labor" will be at the w. G. u. reading
rooms at Bismarck, where all donations
may be sent. Mrs. Slaughter's office hours
will be from 10 to IL IN. and 2 to 4 p. III.
1t las been requested that the TRIBUNE
ask all farmers who received seed of sugar
beetS from the agricultural department,
and planted them. to bling the product, or
samples, to John Yegen of this city. There
are a number of inquiries regarding the
beet industry on the slope, and if a good
showing can be made, it is more than like
ly steps will be taken toward giving the
sugar beet a thorough test next year. With
the cheap fuel and cheap lands of the
slope, many of Bismarck's prominent citi-
z6ns think that a plant could be made to
pay. All farmers should interest them
selves in this matter as the industry may
prove a greater source Of wealth than a
gold mine.
The tariff war is on again, and the air in
the hotels and on the corners is filled with
moving arms and vocal bullets. Both sides
generally get the b st of it-at least, each
party thinks so in his mind, and the other
fellow is all right, but a crank. This inter-
change of ideas and opinions does no one
harm-and makes no cOnverts-vOte Just
the same on election day. And how it
keeps up. About the time you have the
other fellow worked up to a high ritch,
some friend shoves in in his chin and al.
begins to flush from exertion the other fel-
lows comrades put i'll their oars and away
he goes-to business Or fresh air.
0The happiest man in the city Wednesday
was Jack" Little, when his friends ar
rived from West Superior. They came
here to test the truth of Jacks assertions
regarding the slope as a hunters paradise
and bring the necessary paraphernalia
with them to do so-guns. dogs, ammuni-
INV ana dry. The gentlemen who
compose the party are Thomas Dwyer, A.
W. Shaffer Gan eX Dakotan), Il. V. Badg-
ley and H.. d. M%essingham, all prominent
in business circles Of the embryo metropo-
lis Of the lakes. The party, with Jack as
guide, left in the afternoon Tor the Chain
lakes and Washburn. Geese and duck are
what they want, and no prophet is needed
to predict that they will get more than
enough to eat.
A. D. COrdner: If the article in the
daily was meant for me l have this much
to say: 1 did not vote the county ticket
last fall, and under the same circumstances
l would not again. There were two rea-
sons-frst,I did not believe the central COM
mlttee had any right to nominate the
ticket, and the other was because they had
a mall on the ticket who, the year be ore,
traded his whole family vote to a demo-
crat for a small Office and then preached
that nc republican would bolt his ticket.
That man was G. w. Rawlings. I am not
troubled with the big head and shall not
leave the county it I don't get an office.
If | live l shall vote the republican ticket
and shall never be found in the democratic
ranks and l never voted for but one demo-
crat in my life.
The late rains have filled the slope farm
ers with announcement and many of them
say that they will push the limit in crop
acreage next spring. Some are enthu.
siaStic enough to assert that big crops next
summer are as sure as death. One thing
