ASYLUM Matters.

A regular meeting of the board of asy-
lnm trustees. was held Friday and Satur-
day. A good deal of business was trans
acted, as it was the first occasion where
the full board had been present. Steward
Lowell was chosen purchasing agent, and
The Lloyds made treasurer. A large
number Of bills for supplies we're allowed.
The board are today inspecting and in
voicing the stock now on the farm, with
the end in view of disposing of the old
and inferior cattle, and substituting
those of better breed. It is understood
that an offer from the Gray Bros, of 35
or 40 head of Short Horn stock, ranging
in age from one to six years, has been
made the trustees. The price for which
the stock is offered will average SIS a
low. The offer will
probably be accepted. On the land be-
longing to the institution there are about
$50 acres of oats. barley and other grain
that look we'll. The usual fine garden
is also to be seen, in which vegetables of
all kinds are growing IN immense quan-
titles. Much Of the light work is done by
the patients.
The arteslan we'll has reached depth
of 1000 feet. The difficulties about the
contractors are being adjusted without
the intervention of the board.

w. j. Marshall was the Victim.

The man who was killed by lightning
near Windsor Thursday night was w.
J. Marshall, we'll known farmer living
near Grandin. The two other men, who
sustained severe shocks, were G. E. Kin
yon and W. N. Clark. All three were
asleep in tent when the storm came up,
and the wind being severe, Clark took
hold of one of the tent poles to steady it
while Marshall and Kinyon held the
other. Suddenly the deadly bolt de-
scended, striking Marshall just back of
the right forehead, grounding through
his left leg, death being instantaneous.
Beyond light dislocation and abrasion
of the skin and singing Of the hair on his
forehead and breast, the victim, a man Of
fine physique, was not disdgured. He
leaves wife and four children in good
circumstances in Grand1n. The bolt
struck Kinyon just above the right wrist
running up his arm and down his right
side, leaving red raised welt and sing
ing the hair. He was stunned for the
time and his escape was a remarkable
one.

STATE SUMMARY.

Gophers are said to be doing consider
able damage to wheat near Churches
Ferry.
Mclean County Mail: Farmer Wallace
of Burleigh county, was one of the party
which accompanied John Brown of
Ossawatomie-The Immortal-across
the plaibs of Iowa and Nebraska in
1856. Plumb, of Kansas, now U. s
senator was another of The party. Far
mer Wallace is one of the land marks of
an heroic time. Now, however he is
interesting himself in the project of
Pan American railroad-to connect Cape
Horn with Budson's bay, running
through the great valleys of the Missouri
and the Red in the north, and across the
wide table lands of Texas and northern
Mexico, through central America ana
along the eastern slope Of the Andes to
the southern cape. Farmer IS high IN
his praise of Blaine's recommendation
that such road be built and prophesies
that ten years hence will mark the ac-
complishment of the feat. Farmer Wal
lace, The Mail honestly belle yes you are
not more than ten years ont of the way,

shipping of silver to America in any
great quantities would be Il losing specu-
lation, as for every $lOO,O0O,OOO of their
silver which they melted up and shipped
to us they would lose S3,0OO,O0O and the
transportation. The annual silver pro-
duction of the world is about Sl4O, ,0OO,O0O
of this amount S4O,OOO,OOO are used in
the arts, leaving s1OOOOO,OO0 to go into
currency. Fifty-six millions of this is
required for thesupply of India, leaving
only SAL 100000 for us to consume, even
If we would be required to take all the
world affords. From this it will be seen
that there Is no possible danger even in
the freest coinage. The fact is hat it
will require about $40,O0O,0OO per annum
to supply the natural increase of popu-
lation in America, which is 100000 in
habitants per annnm, and at $50 per
capita, this would require $4O,OOO,OOO.
The reconciliation of silver therefore
threatens no danger, but promises tre-
mendous increase in general prosperity.
BY reason of gold being made the sole
standard it has been greatly increased in
value, and those who have gold to sell
have been enormously proftted thereby,
while those who have had any other
product to dispose of have been corre-
spondlngly injured To restore silver to
its rightful place in the currency of the
country will appreciate the value of every
commodity by increasing the value at
which surplus grain products can be sold
and by thus giving to the farmers of
America increased ability to purchase
such supplies they require, every interest
will be proportionately enhanced.
It took the votes of the new states to
guarantee the success of the proposition
for remonetizing silver, and this may be
credited up as one of the great advant-
ages which the northwestern territories
have secured by admission to the union.

Fatal Shooting at N1andan.

A fatal shooting atfray occurred at
Mandan Sunday evening about seven
o'clock Two Northern Pacific painters
had quarrel on their car, and as one of
them went out, the other told him that
if he came back again he would shoot
him. Some time later the one who left
the car returned and rushed in, and as
he did so the other began firing on him.
It is said he fired four shots, each Of
which took effect, killing his victim. The
name of the victim is Billy Palmer
Geo. Lewis was the man who did the

,Che Result.


in the election of city board of educa-
ton, consisting of the following MEM
bers: J. w. Cloes, Geo. Lutz, Herman
Gleseler, D. E. Hughes, F. \. Clemmens,
Mrs. H. G. Hotchkiss and Mrs. E. P.
Wells. Prof. Wadsworth was reelected
county superintendent without opposi-
ton.
There was not much interest display
ed in the city and only light vote cast.
Had it not been for the appearance Of
the ''straight male ticket" election morn
ing the vote would have been much
lighter and the interest much less. AS
it was this ticket reused the friends OF
the two lady candidates, who came to the
rescue and saved the day by rustling
out large vote in the afternoon.
Knowing that there would be much
curiosity as to just how many ladies
voted, The Alert took the trouble to as
certain. In the whole city 127 ladies
voted. Nearly one half Of this number
live in the First ward where more
women voted than men. The female
voters were distributed as follows by
wards: First ward, g.; Second ward, y;
Third ward, 10; Fourth ward. 2S.
Reports from the county are slow in
coming in, but there seems to have been
a more general interest felt there than in
the city. In several townships the inter-
est even reached fighting heat. At Ell
bridge Geo. w. Woodbury. was elected
district treasurer and John McGinnis,
Jerry Collins and 0, A. Boynton, di-
rectocs for one, two and three years in
the order named. In Homer township
E, J. Gleason was elected treasurer, o.
" White, j. r. Purchase and NJ. w.
Wright, directors.
The following is the city vote in detail:

The Election.

The school election in the city and
county occurred Tuesday. The city elected
a board of education Of seven numbers
and the county county superintendent
of schools and the usual district officers.
The fact that for the first time IN the
history OF Dakota women were permitted
to vote did not arouse much interest and
this afternoon indications are that the
vote cast will be very light. Much of
the apparent apathy, however, was
probably due to the rain which set IN
about noon. Many of the women, it is
said, were busy with household cares this
morning, but intended coming out to
the polls in the afternoon. There was
no issue in the election and that is one
explanation for the light vote. The
women who voted were of tho best social
element and were driven to the polls in
carriages.
There were two tickets and several
split tickets IN the field. One contained
the names Of
J. w. Close, Herman Gieseler, George
Lutz, D. E. Hughes, f. A. Clemens, Mrs.
H. G. Hotchklss and Mrs. E. P. Wells.
The other, dubbed in political dodger
the ''straight male ticket had upon it
only the names of men:
j. w. Cloes, Herman Gieseler, George
Lutz, D. E. Hughes, John F. Vennum,
F. A. Clemens, 5. S. Altschul.
The feature of the election, if there
was any feature, was the following unique
and ironical political dodger which was
printed and distributed around the
polling places and was the subject of
considerable comment:
ATTENTION VOTERS!
Women should bear and care for the
children, and the men educate them!
Vote the straight male ticket.
Women have no interest in the educa-
ton of their children
Vote the straight male ticket.
Cinnamon, Indians, Imbeciles and
women occupy common level!
Vote the straight male ticket.
Childless men are bettpr,qualitied than
mothers for the care of our children!
Vote the straight male ticket.
At 2:3O this afternoon 63 votes had
been cast in the Fourth ward of which
number Is were polled by ladies. At
the same hour the Third ward judges of
election had taken in only 80 ballots and
only one of that number was cast by
lady.

Pretty Girls in Cages.

One of the pretty sights in tho
Treasury is fifteen or twenty handsome
ladies In cages. Pretty women are not
so scarce in the department that when
they get hold of one they put her in a
cage, but the ladies referred to oc-
cupy their little prisons in accordance
with an old custom. The Comptroller
of the Currency has decided to revive
system in vogue some years ago by
putting a safeguard around the coun-
ters of money and isolating them in
little iron cages. They are put in
their prisons in the morning, large
piles of notes are given them, and
there they sit all day long counting
the currency as fast as their fingers
con move. The only communication
the ladies have with any ono outside
of their cages is through speaking
tube connecting them with the Chief
of the Bureau. The ladies', naturally,
don't take to this arrangement very kind

The Blue Cross Temperance Society, which

now has its branches in nearly every country
IN Europe, has recently held great national

and Germany sent her earnest advocate of
Gospel temperance, Lieutenant Colonel Won

men, to study the principles of the society.
The meeting was full Of interest. Saved
