Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved $4,000.
He referred to the efficiency of the
incumbent in preventing the snug
CLING of opium, also to the tempta-
tions in the shape of brides he had
to withstand.
Minister Brown reminded the
House that the official got half of the
proceeds of opium seized by him.
Thus the office was worth about
$4,000 year.
Noble j. NJ. Horner asked if this
was not the office for which there
had been PIP applications. Out of
such number surely good man
could be had for the salary in the
bill.

Rep. Kanealii objected TO. the
item. What were the Deputies to
the Marshal for?
Minister Peterson explained that
this was one of those deputies, but
he had changed the item because he
did not wish TO have the prosecutor a
Marshal, or Deputy, or policeman
of any kind.
Rep. Nawahi asked if the idea
should not be carried out in all the
districts of the kingdom.
| Minister Peterson replied yes if
the country could afford it, but the
business of Honolulu was more than
that of all the other courts put to-

Farmers and the Caucuses.

AS the time for holding primaries ap-
proaches there is considerable inquiry as
to the laws regulating the conduct of
the same and the rights of voters partic-
ipating therein. The laws of the state
say that anyone who is qualified elec.
tor"-that is, anyone who is entitled o
vote at the polls-may vote in primary
meetings, but that anyone not a qualified
elector who does so is guilty of misde-
meanor. Another point: Every voter
is by law guaranteed the right to vote as
he pleases. free from dictation or intim-
idation. The only question which may
be asked is, "Are you a qualified elector?"
How the voter voted last fall or how he
proposes to vote this fall is nobody's
business but his own, and such imperti-
nence may be answered or not at his own
discretion. The laws of the state make
intimidation of voters crime punisha-
BILE by fine of not less than $50 and
not to exceed $1,000.

City Council.

A special meeting Of the city council
was held Monday night, Mayor Fuller
in the chair. All Of the aldermen pres
ent except Messrs. Adams, Eager and
Klaus.
The object of the meeting was to take
such action as should seem necessary
towards paying for the water mains and
to fix the tax levy for 1890.
The water works committee reported
that Gasal & Haas had completed their
contract except that there is still about
60 feet Of mains to be laid, the material
furnished being short that amount; that
when those 60 feet are laid they will
have lam 1890 feet and will be entitled
to receive $40; that $3.50 has been paid
them and that 1920 remains due. The
committee recommended that Gasal &
Haas be paid 1920 in full on their con-
tract with the understanding that they
are to lay the remaining 60 feet when the
pipe arrives. The report was adopted
and the clerk instructed to draw war
rant for that amount.
The tax levy for 1890 was fixed as fol-
lows: General fund five mills, street
and bridge fund one mill, interest fund
two mills. Total eight mills.

1880 Fixed.
Surveyors Here.

A corps Of six civil engineers have
been working in the vicinity of James
town for several days and arousing the
curiosity of everyone aware of their
presence. An Alert man interviewed one
Of the party Tuesday night, but surveyors
are not credited with reputation for
telling the whole truth and nothing but
the truth, and it may be that there IS
more in their trip than they say. The
interviewed surveyor said that the party
was in the employ of the Northern Pa
cific and that they were simply taking a
new survey of the line for the purpose of
leveling the road bed and resett1ng the
mile posts. They commenced at St. Paul
and will work as far west as Mandan. They
have been over two weeks coming from
Fargo; they make seven or eight miles a
day. They disclaim any connection with
any Of the surveying parties that are
working in the country south Of here and
deny the report, in circulation yesterday,
that while here they staked off ground
for new depot. One of the men said.
however. that two Of their party left and
came on to Jamestown about two weeks
ago and that it was understood at the
time that the purpose of their visit was
to make the preliminary survey and
chose the location for new depot.

Live Stock Outlook.

Orange Judd Farmer: Six years ago
when the general tendency was to 20
strongly into stock raising, we cautioned
our readers against putting all their
eggs into one basket" and advised them
that so many were starting IN this direc-
tion that the business would be likely to
be overdone. The necessity for this ad-
vice, founded on general experience and
observation, has been demonstrated dur
ing the past and present year, in the over
supply of live stock and consequent un-
remunerative prices.
Now, the tendency is the other way,
and everybody who can, seems desirous
of getting out Of this line of production.
It is just the time to hold on to stock
and increase the number. The dry
weather in many localities, with the
shrinkage of pasturage and injury to the
corn crop prospects, has caused thu
pushing forward to market of unprece-
dented numbers of cattle and hogs, many
of them in poor or but half ripe condition
The indications are that in the near fu-
ture there will be short supply of both
cattle and hogs in the country, with cor
responding large advance in values.

n Kick on Uncle Sans Mail,

The United States mail service as far
as jamestown is concerned is now less
satisfactory than for several years. It
was thought when the Northern Pacific
put on its second through train that we
would have improved postal facilities.
But on The contrary the improved train
service has brought Jamestown less effec-
tive mail service. Under the old system
there were two mails daily from the east
on No. IN the morning and on No. 3
at noon. No. was very convenient
eastern mail. 1t left st. Paul at s p. M,
and brought business men the bulk of
their St. Paul correspondence, which
could be answered and sent out on No.
4 at 3:2O the same afternoon. This made
an excellent service for jamestown and
enabled merchants to do business with
st. Paul wholesalers promptly and Salts
factorily. Since the new train has been
put on, however, this arrangement has
been changed. Nos. and s, the after
AoOA lltilIo cI uiAO p1CSCllU soCllONtliS ftIli
which correspond to Nos. 3 and under
the old schedule, no longer carry mail.
The fast overland tram which arrives
here at 500 p. m. brings mall from the
east and No. takes it east at 1l:45 p. m.
OF course Nos. and 2 run and carry
mail just as before. The inconvenience
of the present system will be seen at a
glance. Under the old system letter
would be received from st. Paul answer
ed and the reply started back to st. Paul
at 3;20 the same afternoon, whereas, now
that same letter does not get here H. til
the next morning and tho reply cannot
go east until :45 p. M, che next night.
The loss of time to our merchants is "a
hours.
Postmaster Smith has taken hold of
the matter and is now in correspondence
with the postotfice department. with
reference thereto. Pouch mail service
on the present afternoon trains would
remedy the trouble and be comparatively
inexpensive to the government. It is to
be hoped such service will be established
on these trains.

Indian Missionary Labors.

The Chippewa Indians of the Turtle
Mountains, who have for some years
been under the care of the Catholic mis-
sion and have made much progress there
by, have, by permission of the bishop of
jamestown, taken the name of St. Ann
as the patron saint of the mission chapel.
The recent celebration OF their first pa
tronal feast is thus described by cor
respondent of the Dakota Catholic:
During the first and second masses
| over 200 of the simple and good aborig-
ines partook OF the eucharistic sacra-
ment. High mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father Turcutte, Jealous mission
ary of Deloraines, a neighboring mission
in Manitoba, who also gave most edi-
tying sermon on the many miracles
wrought at the great patron saint, which
he was himself.a witness in the celebrat-
ed shrine Of Beaupre, Canada.
! The choral and instrumental music,
under the able direction of Rev. Father
L'Hiver, was the most striking feature
! of the celebration. 1t was the first time
that brass band was ever heard in this
part of our Mountains. so that all the
Indians and good many neighboring
whites, who had come to the extraordl-
nary festival. were most delighted with
the musical treat so harmoniously exc
cuted by the Dunseith brass band. After
the beautiful ceremony was over, good
friend Of the mission and one of the good
sisters in charge of st. Mary's excellent
industrial school, delivered Il most ap-
propriate address Of thanks tc the good
sisters who had done SO much for the
success of the first celebration of St.
AIMS patronal feast in this promising
mission.

RumOrS Of Railroad Building,

Some time since it was stated in The
Alert that there was possibility of the
Northern Pacific extending its James
River valley branch from Oakes to Aber-
deem and probably further southwark.
The general impression has been that no
further railroad extensions south would
be made on account of the truce between
the Northern Pacific and Chicago and
Northwestern road. The Aberdeen Daily
News of Aug. 9th, has the following,
however, concerning this new move, if
such it be:
1t comes with some degree of reliability
that a party of Northern Pacific survey
ors are now at Cakes waiting orders from
headquarters. This leads to the con-
clus1on that they are there to run a line
through to Aberdeen and will do so if
matters turn out favorably. One Of the
party was in the city Thursday evening
and a portion of yesterday, and although
he was reticent he dropped enough to
warrant the belief that "things IS work
in" and workin' all right. Let the good
citizens Of Aberdeen do their duty and
something will drop without delay.
Another railroad item from the News
of the same Issue, that IS of interest to
Jamestown, IS that:
"R. E. Kirk has joined $500 corps Of
engineers and surveyors which is laying
out a line from the vicinity of Hankinson
on the Great Northern to Jamestown.
He has been absent some days.
With the $500" and the Northern Pa
cific taking fresh start in the extension
of branch lines there will be lively times
ahead in the other quarters of necessity.

ABOUT ORIGINAL PACKAGES,
Some Opinc That the Present
PrOhibitOry Law Must be
Re-Enacted.
Before the Sale Of Liquor in
Original Packages Can be
Stopped.
a North Dakota Wanderer in
the South Returns and Talks
Entertainingly.

'Original Packages" in Jeopardy.
The president has signed the "original
package" bill, the object of which was to
neutralize the effect of the recent su-
preme court decision and give to the
state the exclusive control and regula-
tlon Of the liquor traffic within its
borders. The bill which has just become
a law is the Wilson bill, originating IN
the senate, the full text of which is as
follows:
That all fermented, distilled or other
Intoxicating liquors or liquids transport
ed into any state or territory, or remain
ing therein for use. consumption, sale or
storage therein, shall, upon arrival in
such state or territory, be subject to the
operation and effect of the laws of such
state or territory, enacted in the exer-
else OF its police powers, TO the same ex-
tent and in the same manner as though
such liquids or liquors had been pro-
duced in such state or territory and shall
not be exempt therefromN by reason of
being introduced therein in original
packages or otherwise.
Doubts are frequently expressed as to
the constitutionality of the law, but that
avails little for the present.It will be the
law Of the land, and operative as such in
the Dakotas until the court decides it to
be unconstitutional.
There is difference of opinion as to
the local effect of the law in the Da-
kotas. Very few saloon men have closed.
Many of them are undecided what to do.
A point has been raised which may give
the saloon men new lease Of business
until the next legislature meets. The
point is this: That the sections of the
present p-ohib1tory law, which were by
the supreme court decision declared to
be unconstitutional, will have to be re-
enacted, for the reason that they were
rendered null and void by the original
package decision of the supreme court;
and that the law just passed by congress
merely confers upon states the authority
to legislate upon the subject subsequent
to it's passage. Senator Wilson. the
author Of the bill and good constitu-
tional lawyer, writes to Iowa that no re-
enactment will be necessary. The ques-
ton Will probably 90 into the courts.

keeps pretty we'll posted on Foster coun-
ty politics, says that MIR. E. S. Leaven-
worth OF Melville, will in all probability
be the choice of the republicans of that
county for representative in the legisla-
ture. MIR. Leavenworth is generally ac-
knowledged to be about the right man
for the place and has numerous friends
who are confident he can get there.
Senator Barlow is said to be undecided
whether he will be candidate for re-
election or not.

Sheep Items.

Darlington Independent: Alderman
Bros. got $500 pounds OF wool from $50
| head of sheep. Mr.. Clark Ackerman in
| forms us that the increase of their flock
| this spring was about IS per cent. They
expect to remove their sheep next week
| to a rancho they have established in the
| hills, west of Melville, where there IS
plenty OF hay to put up and the best of
pasturage and water.
Valley City Alliance: Last Friday
evening Fred Nester and Mr.. Billberry
returned from Montana with 22OO head
of sheep in sixteen cars-making a
special tram, costing 500. The sheep
we're loaded on Thursday and came
through with but few stops, the run
from Mandan being made in five hours.
With this addition the Nester farm will
have flock of sheep numbering about
$500.
Three Nelson county farmers have Just
purchased in Montana 1000 sheep and
will engage in sheep raising on a large
scale. They have recently secured sew
eral large tracts of land for pasturage
purposes. The first shipment OF sheep
arrived today and more will follow in
short time. Nelson county affords unex-
celled opportunities for sheep culture
and bids fair to become one Of the lead
ing wool-producing counties in North
Dakota.
Bottineau Free Lance: Thousands of
heads of sheep are being shipped into
Dakota from Montana because OF the
scarcity Of feed in that state. We be-
lieve it would be good move on the
part of many of our farmers, if they were
to invest in sheep instead of putting
everything in wheat 1t has been tested
a sufficient length Of time to make it
very clear that, rightly managed, there
is money in it. Ole Horneman, of this
county, is trying it on large scale and
we predict success.
Grand Forks Plalndealer: One reason
for the great stir about sheep raising
lately has been the fact that the sta
tistics presented at the meeting of the
National Wool Growers association held
in Iowa, showed that there had been /,
falling off of 8 per cent. IN production,
and that our imports of woolen goods
last year amounted to SlO3,OO0,00O. TIE
passage of the Mckinley bill would IN
crease the duty 40 per cent. Farmers
will find it to their advantage to raise
few sheep. They will more than pay for
their keeping in wool and there Is the
increase which can be counted at 100
per cent. Mixed farming will pay it the
farming is done as it should be.

A North DakOtan in the South.

Hon. F. A. Sebring, who left for Bis
marck last evening, will return tonight
and remain in Jamestown several days.
He is one of the special agents of the
census department and under direct
orders from Superintendent Porter.
During the past six months his duties
have called him into all but two of the
southern states. His work has been
such that his stay has not been long in
one place but he has seen pretty nearly
all of the south. During the Mississippi
river floods this spring he was in the
river country and was caught in a little
Arkansas town and penned up by the
water for several days. Only three build
ings in the town were out of the water
and all moving about was done IN row
boats. He says the leeves in places are
in deplorable condition. The damage
done by these floods is something terri
ble The loss of life and movable prop
erty does not cover all the damage.
Whole plan ntations are ruined in a night.
The water frequently rushes in and car
ries away the rich soil down to the clay
subsoil, leaving the rich and productive
land Of the day before as sterile as tho
barren plateaus of Nevada.
Mr.. Sebring's presence in Dakota just
now is due to Superintendent Porters
orders. He is here to investigate the
general work of the state agents and to
give them any Information they may de-
sire as to their work. Previous to his
coming to North Dakota he was at New
Orleans where he was stationed for three
weeks in charge of census work during
the absence Of one of the state superin-
tendents.
While IN New Orleans he attended the
daily policy drawings of the lottery CON-
pany and unhesitatingly pronounces
them bad 9hing for the city and state.
The monthly drawing is a square thing,
in which there is chance to win some-
thing, but there is little local interest in
anything but the daily drawings. Mr..
Sebring was at Baton Rogue, the capital,
on the closing day of the legislature and
says the scenes were very exciting; that
Baton Rogue is dull, sleepy town gen.
orally, and Landlord Patch's hostelry at
New Rockford is better hotel than the
best IN the capital Of the state of Louisi-
ana. Mr.. Sebrlng states there is no
doubt but that the lottery company will
have it's charter extended when it COMES
to popular vote. The people are in
favor Of it generally and owing to the
characteristics of the natives OF the south
and long established custom lottery
