leaving hundreds of cattle and horses
without feed. It's a shame. The fires are
set by the Northern Pacific engines and
the winds shift the fires around in every
direction. We try to have fire breaks
around our townships but the wind blows
idea how much damage a prairie fire will
do in two days time with a high wind.
just at present the farmer is the most
He is b%uttonholed at every corner and his
opinion is always gravely asked on the po-
litical situation. All probable candi-
dates are now wearing Orr's oyeralls and
wooden shirts. But the farmer is onto the
politician bigger than life and questions
about the pumpkin crop don't go.
Jamestown Alert: No word directly has
been received from Consul Nickeus since
sailing for his destination, although the
family received a note from Miss Mamie,
dated on board steamer in mid ocean,, and
conveyed to New York by a passing ves-
sell. They had been out four days. In
New York, Mr.. Nickeus met on board the
same ship he wa booked in, the old con-
sui returning to Barinquilla, to turn over
the office to his successor. Mrs. Nickeus
and her daughter Lizzie left Wednesday
last for their new residence in South
America. The voyage occupies thirteen
days from New York.
Mandan Times: James E. Campbell,
chairman, has calls in the Bismarck Com
mOnwealth for a democratic county con-
~vention to be held October 10th, and a
legislative convention for the same day.
AS he goes out Of the county to make his
first announcement of the conventions, he
probably expects to elect his ticket by Bis
marck votes. How do Morton county dem
Ocrats like the idea of serving as tail to the
Bismarck kite? Have not the Mandan re-
publican papers always given you fair
treatment in regard to publishing calls :?
Of course though democrats do not believe
in p%atronizing home industries.

Denny Hannifin: just got back from
Iianu IolhS. VII, tlie Sulclue cluD Is all
right. Got seven members now. Would
like to hook Muir to see if | couldn't cure
him, bnt l am afraid blood wouldn't run
if you'd stick a knife in him. The only
man who has vindicated himself was Maj.
Fonda. We are taking in any one who
has a grievance. Saw Dodds and Budd
Reeves at the Forks. Falk wants to Join
the club. Prohibitionists are not eligible.
All members Of the old gang, lottery men
n the anti-Old gang can Join. We play
no favorites. Facts are facts end truth is
truth. The men with a grievance will
come to the front. The jumping off place
for all these would-be politicians is the
suicide club. A political grievance is the
worst thing in the world.
