THE CITY CONVENTION.

The city convention last Friday
evening to select delegates to the
county convention was quite a lively
and spirited one, but no bones were
broken. A. G.. Hemenway was
made chairman and Otis Kirlin Sec
retary. The following delegates
were selected: j. M. Given, Chr.
Gorder, A. P. Slocum, M. E. Ode!l,
NJ. N. Chamberlin, A, G.. Hemen-
way, E. Boehmler, D. A. Shutter.
The following resolution was adopt
ed prior to the election of delegates:
Whereas, it appears to be the sense
OF this convention that the two ques-
tions of vital Importance to the voters
OF N. Dak., are and will be during the
campaign, the licensing Of the lottery
and tbe liquor traffic, and whereas
the Governor of our state has, we be-
licve, been offer ed large sums of mon
ey to be paid into the state treasury in
case of the success of these schemes,
therefore he it resolved by this conven-
tion that we will not vote for or sup
port for delegates to either the county
or state convention, any man who
will not state positively that he is op-
posed to the granting of any license
for the sale of intoxicating liquors or
the operating of any lottery scheme
whatever under license in North OAK
ota.

Editorial Association.
The North Dakota Editorial AS

The North Dakota Editorial Asso-
citation met in this city last Thurs
day. The attendance was not large,
owing, no doubt, to the fact that
the newspaper men generally are
pretty busily engaged with political
matters at the present time.
The only officer present was Sec
retary Bowsfield. Judge Bennett,
Of Bottineau, was made temporary
chairman and afterwards elected to
the presidency Of the assoclation-a
position he will fill acceptably. The
old officers, now residing in the
state, were reelected.
No further business of special
Importance was transacted, it being
thought advisable to wait until a
larger attendance could be secured.
An adjournment was taken until
August 8 at Grand Forks. In the
meantime a committee has been ap-
pointed to make arrangements for a
trip to Great Falls and Yellowstone
park.
The following members of the
Association were present: D. P. r.
Strong, Park River; W. H. Makee,
Dunseith; John Burke, st. John;
Geo. Fritz, Wahpeton; D. B. Nc
Donald, Cando; John w. Bennett,

Of the crowd dispersed. A camp
fire was held in the evening, and
the 'giddy and frivolous" tripped

The day was throughout most
enjoyable one and will be a pleasant
memory in the minds of all.

LITTLE THINGS.

More depends upon little things than
we think. It is said that Voltaire when
i've years old learned an infidel poem
and he was never able to free himself
from the effects. So, one step in the
downward path often leads to the di-
rect results. A single glass Of whisky,
taken at critical point, has often turn
ed the tide of life, and landed the drink
er in hopeless drunkard's grave. Be-
ware of the small beginnings in vice (!
Learn to say "No" to the silvery voice
oftemptation. Look out for the little
things. and the great things will gen.
orally take care of themselves.
THE DRUNKARD's BRAIN.
The brain in a state of health is one
of the most delicate organs of the body.
1t is so soft and fragile it can scarcely
be cut, without being torn, by the sharp
est knife. Its color has been very close
ly initiated by the artist. With the
drunkard's brain the intense red color
is produced In precisely the same way
as that Of the nose, namely, paralysis of
the nerves which control the circulation
of this part of the body. When the
drunkard's face and nose are Redeemed
or blushing under the influence. of al
cohol, the brain bushes. The same
may be said also of the lungs, the stom-
ach, the liver, the kidneys, and other
structures of the body. His whole ply
sical being blushes with shame for the
outrage against nature. In consequence
of this intense congestion, and the fact
that it rec ieves one fifth fall the blood
in the body, the brains participate
more than any other organ in the body
except the liver, in the injury wrought
by the "demon drink" 1t sometimes
becomes hardened to such degree even
during life that it can be readily dis
tinguished from a healthy brain by the
sense of touch.

I desire to thank the neighbor.

helped me in caring for Mr.. Gay
during his long illness. Theil
many acts of kindness and timel,
assistance l shall never forget.
Mrs. LEE GAY,
The lecture given in the Presbv.
terian church on Sabbath evening
by Miss Adelaide Kinnear, Of Fargo
was we'll attended and Was both en-.
tertaining and instructive, giving due
credit to her as public speaker.
She went from Oakes to Ellendale
to attend the W. G. T. U. county
convention, after which she will re.
turn to her home in Fargo, having
been out on tour of lectures since
May 1st.
J.P. Walker, whose injury we
mentioned last week, died on Satur.
day, and his funeral occurred Sun
day in the Methodist church at
Ellendale. An active, energetic
life, every day of which was one of
upright and honest deeds, has closed
after So years Of usefulness. Mr..
Walker was an esteemed friend of
the writer, and in extending to the
family our heartfeltsympathy we do
so with a feeling of personal bereave-
ment.
Sheriff Guthrie, Of Pierre, passed
through Oakes yesterday morning
with murderer who shot a man at
Pierre two years ago, because the
man would not row him across the
river. The murderer escaped and
was recently captured in Wyoming,
where it is said he killed two men.
He is a desperate looking character,
having more the appearance of a
brute than human being. The
sheriff had him hand -cuffed and his
legs chained together.

Lee Gay, whose lingering illness
we have from time to time mention
ed. died at his residence in this city
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, as
was announced by the tolling of the
Presbyterian church bell. His dis
ease was scrofula, terminating in
consumption. The deceased was a
good, conscientious citizen and his
death is regretted by all. He was
strictly honest and always found
plenty Of business Of his own to
attend to. Lee Gay was born in
China and came to this country
about 30 years ago, spending 10
years in San Francisco. He came
to Oakes from Aberdeen about three
years ago, and was "a years Of age
last December. A wife and two
small children survive him. The
funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church Wednesday
forenoon, and there was quite a
large attendance to pay the last
tribute of respect to the deceased.

THE RACING.

The large crowd then went over
t" the race course, where running,
trotting and pacing races were in
order, and were rather tame affairs
with the exception of the latter, in
which Thompson's renowned colt
and another young black stallion
were entered with an old sorrel ring

A GREENBACK LOVE FEAST
National Convention Held by q Few
Soft Money Men.

The national greenback convention con-
vened in Tomlinson Hall, indianapolis,
yesterday, but the number present was only
about enough to fill a country school house.
About fifty people assembled on tho front seats
Of the hall, and, outside of Indiana. New York
sent the largest delegation, sixteen in number.
The remainder were scattered pretty evenly
over the United States. Col. Jones took charge
of the convention and said he could see no
reason why SO large hall had been rented I'M
less it was to show those members present that
indianapolis had hall large enough to hold
the national convention which will very likely
be held there in 1892 The colonel then pointed
out the dangers of sectionalism aud scored both
old parties for what they had and had not
done. He advocated q financial policy based on
fixed volume of paper money, regulated by
law. He said the third business of the con-
vention was to prepare a series OF questions
to put to candidates of the old parties in dis
tricts where the greenback party had none,
and lastly, to bring about complete reorgan-
ization of the national greenback party
throughout the whole country. Mayor Middle
berg of Delphi was appointed chairman, and
made vigorous protest against the monopo-
lies and ali forms OF trusts. A love feast fol-
lowed,
