A Question With Two Sides.

Mandan Pioneer: Some of the news
papers throughout the state are urging the
legislature to hurry up their work and 20
home. The financial condition of the state
is referred to and the expense is dwelt
upon as being something for which the
members of the legislature are responsible.
There is another side to this question. 1t
Is true that the condition of the public
finances is rather unsatisfactory, but then
the state government exists for the purpose
of having laws under which the people
can live, and under which they can best
secure and retain their rights. The pas
sage of bills dealing with the complicated
questions of revenue, railroad corpor atoms
and the like, takes up, necessarily, a
good deal of time. The Pioneer
would like 10 see the legislature adjourn
next week, but the fact is patent that if
they were to do this they would adjourn
before they had done half the work they
were elected to perform. The present leg
lslature labOrs under some serious difficult
broken into by the senatorial election: then
came Thanksgiving; then the Christmas
and New Year vacation. Another term
there won't be so many causes of delay.
1t is probable that the legislature will get
its work done long before the 12O days are
up that are contemplated by the constitu-
ton, but there is a good deal too much De-
ing said to the effect that the legislature is
Wllfully squandering the money of the
people, when in reality they are doing
their best to get the public work done.

which had been ordered drawn by the
board of county commissioners. and which
had been signed by him as chairman? 2"
Thus far not a scintilla Of evidence ap.
pears to refute this charge, and the claim
first made by him that he signed the war
rant in blank. is refuted by the sworn tes-
timOny of Marsh, that the stub and war
rant were both filled out when he signed
them.
The only point of defense made is that
Healy may have been justified as, at the
next meeting this same board of commits
sioners changed the amount of the bill.
This sounds well, but everyone knows that
In its personnel it was not the same board.
MIR. johnson, who vas present at the time
the bill was contracted and when it was
allowed, had retired and Ecklund came in,
If it is right, upon discovering that the
political sentiment of the board has
changed, to destroy the honest pledges f
the county previously made in good faith,
then Mr.. Healy should be discharged and If
matters do not 20 on to suit Mr.. Ecklund,
or Mr.. Edgerly or any other member at the
last few meetings he can, after election,
get even as soon as a member retireS, by
rushing away to the county auditors office
and destroying the warrants.
1t is a plain proposition, and although
the lawyers, whom Mr.. Healy has engaged
are doing hard work and deserve credit fol
their ingenuity, yet the facts are so well
known and are so clearly shown that there
can be but one conclusion.

Shot Off His Arm.

Henry Langrebe, who has been a resi-
dent of Bismarck for a number of years,
met with a serious and almost fatal acct
dent Thursday while hunting jack-rabbits
on the prairie. By the accidental discharge
Of the gun the entire charge was fired into
his left arm which was so terribly mang-
led that it is feared amputation will be
necessary. He was brought to the city
faint and exhausted from the loss of blood
and taken to the hospital, where he was
placed under the influence of opiates by
DR.. Corson, who was called. A consulta-
ton Of physicians will be held this morn
ing for the purpose of deciding whether
or not a%mputation is necessary. Langrebe
was hunting about 8 miles sou beast Of the
city IN company with a friend.
Langrebe was in the buggy, when a jacks
rabbit ran across the road in front. He
jumped from the buggy, and while on the
ground gra>ped the gun with his left hand,
and was pulling it out when the hammer
was caught in the blanket and the weapon
discharged.
Langrebe refused to come to the city
with his companion, fearing that he would
bleed to death on the trip. This news
reached MIR. Fischer, of the firm of Kuntz
g. Fischer, who Immediately went after
him and brought him in for treatment.
Mr. Fischer deserves credit for his good

To Keep the Engine.

City council met Wednesday evening.
Present, W. H. Webb, mayor pro tenn
Aldermen Dietrich, Dahl, Fetzer, Kjhm
and Robidou. Absent, Aldermen Griffin
and Lambert.
The following special committee report
was received:
10 His Honor, the Mayor,and City Council:
GENTLEMEN: We, yOur special commit
tee appointed to figure upon the cost OF
Keeping city team, chemical engine, etc.
and as to whether or not it would be
deemed advisable to offer same for sale,
beg leave to state that we have attended
to Onr duties and report as follows:
Upon investigation we find that the ex-
penses for maintaining engine house,includ-
ing team, etc., are very much lower than
was at first anticipated. The total annual
cost for keeping team we find to be $751;,
and the yearly expenses for running chem.
ical engine are about $1O2.2O, amounting in
all to $25S.20. Taking the above figures
and the further viewing of all the interests
connected with the subject under consid-
GRAFTON, we believe it is very questionable,
II to dispose OF either the team or chemical
be false economy. If any Of
the apparatus now belonging to the fire
department were sold, we are convinced
that the company most affected thereby
would, at least IN a measure, be crippled
and consequently the general protection
against fires would be lowered, and very
naturally an increased rate of insurance
would follow. We believe that certain re-
arrangements might be benefcially made
in the engine house, but we do not think
that any Of the fire protection can profta-
ply be dispensed with at present, and
therefore would recommend that the team
and chemical engine be not sold.
Respectfully submitted,
(slgned) FRANK KIM,
G. Nj. DAHL,
Special Committee.
On motion OF Alderman Dietrich, Sec
onded by Alderman Robidou, the report
was adopted.
The following bills were allowed on the
general fund:
Joseph Hare, Justice fees, Sept. and Oct.
JAS. Mcpherson, guarding Judkin's fire.. 200
On motion, the adoption of city treasur-
er's report for December, 1889, at a former
meeting, was reconsidered and referred to
the committee on ways and means.
Adjourned.

Father Perrault SURPRISED.
From Tuesdays Daily,l

AS handsome a gold-headed cane as was
ever presented to a North Dakota gentle
man is that which the members and officers
of the senate and citizens of the state gave
to Father Perrault last night. The versa
tile divine was in the Office Of the Sheridan
last night when Senators Robinson, Swans
ton and Hartman waited upon him and in
formed him that he was wanted in the
parlor. Arriving in the parlor, he found
the room filled by a brilliant array of
ladies and senators, with Senator Haggart
presiding. Upon Father PerrauIt's arrival,
Senator Worst rose and delivered the fol-
lowing presentation speech: r

Sad News.

Representative Haugerud received sad
intelligence Wednesday from home. He re-
ceived two letters, one from his wife
and one from the doctor stating that his
daughter. aged %, is dangerously ill with
typhoid fever n that a change for the
worse is likely to take place at any mo.
ment. Mr.. Haugerud's boy, aged ~, is al
so unable to leave his bed, and a hired
man is likewise confined to his room. The
sympathies of all Mr.. Haugerud's friends
will be extended to that gentleman, and
the hope INDUCED in that Mr.. Haugerud's
worst fears may not be realized.

Citizens of Walsh County Indignant.

Citizens of Walsh County Indignant.
The following communication received
yesterday explains itself:
At an adjourned meeting of the citizens
Of western Walsh county, held at Medford,
resolutions were presented and unani-
mOuSly adopted, and on motion it was Or
dered that a copy of the same be trans
mitted to each of u (Third district) legis-
lators and to each OF the following news
papers, with the request that the same be
published. viz: The Park River Gazette,
Park River, N. D.; Herald, News and
Times. Grafton, N. D., and the Bismarck
TRIBUNE, Bismarck, N. D.:
WHEREAS, Our new commonwealth,
upon being enrolled as a sister state in the
union of states, finds in he%rinfancy a large
bonded debt upon her hands, and in addi-
ton heavy territorial expenses, as we'll as
present and prospective expenses to meet,
and after counting all of the available
funds on hand and the estimated receipts
for the current year to pay them with. we
find t. ere will be a deficiency of more than
$l55,0OO, to meet present expenditures
alone: therefore be it
Resolved, by the citizens here assembled,
that in view Of the above facts, we deem it
Legislators should practice the strictest
economy in every department of their
duty.
Resolved further, that the time of that
honorable body belongs to the people,
And when that body votes to itself an
extended vacation for its own special bene-
fit, or pleasure, the per diem Of members
during the interim should not be charged
up to the state.
And, resolved further. that while we
have the fullest confidence in the integ-
rity and honesty of our own representa-.
tives In both branches of the legislature,
otherwise, saddle such expenses during
such recess upon their already tax-ridden
constituents, whoever either directly or in.
directly received such unmerited compen'
sation should receive the brand of Cain:
and all good electors should give them to
understand by their ballots, that their ser.
vices in the future were not desirable.

believe in religious liberty; it shows that
You are liberal, broad in your views and
truly American in your sentiments. Now

obllge an ungrateful person. l cannot but

beautiful shore, we will review the past
and recollect that we had a high old time
together. Thanking you once more, l say
God speed and good night to you.

WHAT WAS IT?-That is about
the conundrum May Howard Pro-
pounded at the opera house last
evening, good show well shown.
Miss Howard the clever performer,
lie evidently possessed by unknown
power-human or otherwise-as
she demonstrated no the satisfac-
| ton OF the large audience that
greeted her. Spiritualistic power
is all she claims, and her mind
reading is the best we ever saw;
the naturalization of beautiful
flowers created great applause,
and was great surprise to every
body.-Minneapolis Tribune.
Miss Howard appears at the
Carson Opera House tonight,
Wednesday evening April 10th.
Yesterday an APPEAL represen-
tative called and saw few inter-
estiDg tests in mental telegraphy.
Mr.. Howard took some coins
handed him by the writer and
Miss Howard, sitting with her
back TO him, told the demomina-
ton and date OF each coin, instant
ly. The writer then took a card |
from his pocket and asked the
lady to read it wit tout seeing it.
Mr.. Howard placed his fingers on
different words on the card saying:
"What word is this?" The lady |
with her back turned, named every
word pointed out without the
slightest hesitation.
She could also tell to a second,
where the hands of a watch point
ed that she could not see. She is
an interesting modest little lady
and the New York and Chicago
papers pronounce her the most
mind reader and test
medium that has ever appeared
IN public.

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS
Custer Post has made many i'm.
provements on the spot set aside
for the burial of G.. A. r. Veter-
ans, and the rapidly approaching
Summer will dawn upon the most
beautiful spot in the grave yard.
An acre or two has been carefully
graded and laid off in four plots,
with a stone curling. In the cen
ter of these plots stand four huge
vaces, made at the prison, which
will be used as recepticles for flow
ers. Inside Of those will be placed
pedestle upon which will be
mounted the statue of a soldier
at parade rest, made from some
durable metal that will stand the
weather without furnishing. These
improvements speak well for the
Post, and the grand ball to be
given by them on the 18th will in
part assist in paying the expenses
which a venture of this kind must
of necessity incur, Everybody
should buy a ticket, which only
costs so cents.
