A "Dimnle" and a Spark.

A fire was caused in singular way
the other day in Highland park, opposite
New Brunswick, N. J. The handsome
country residence of Peter Zimmerman
was discovered to be on fire. The flames
were first seen in bay window at the
east end of the third story hall, where
the sun was shining in. It is concluded
that the fire was started by dimple in
the window glass contracting the SUMS
rays. The flames were quickly extin-
guished by using water from the tank on
the roof.-Philadelphia Ledger.

In its haste to c~riticise Congressman
Ha%nsbrough and point out the injustice
he has done the state of North Dakota,
the Grand Forks Plaindealer is guilty of
q greater injustice to a portion of the
state-more guilty because Mr.. Hans
brough was simply thoughtless, while
the Plaindealer's stab seems Intentional.
The plaindealer says that MI. Hans
brough has introduced a bill in the
house asking for q contribution of $780,
600 to be expended under direction Of
the secretary Of agriculture for seed
wheat for the destitute farmers in west
ern Dakota. Congressman Hansbroughs
did nothing Of the sort. Mark the per-
version, western Dakota" Why should
the Plaindealer cast the stigma on west
ern Dakota? Mr.. Hansbrough's bill was
not sectional in its provision, why should
the Plaindealer be sectional? Or. il
bound to be sectional, why not admit
that the demand for seed grain,
il any exists, comes only from the
eastern part OF North Dakota with
very few exceptions. The people on the
Missouri slope and throughout western
Dakota are not asking for seed wheat or
aid OF any kind. They are attending to-
their fine herds OF stock cattle, thorough
bred horses and lunches Of sheep. The

LAST week notice of contest was served

LAST week notice of contest was served
upon Fred Holritz of Sims by Max
Schultze of New Salem, contesting Hol-
ritz's seat in the legislature. Mr..
Hanitch, Max Schultze's attorney, has
received the reply of Mr.. Holritz's attor-
ney, The reply denies all the material
allegations set forth in the complaint,
and claims that the legislature, under
the constitution, has nothing to do with
the ballots, and only take the returns
that have been made to them. Those re-
turns show that Holritz received 529
votes and Schultze 500. The latter part
of the reply states that some of the Hol-
ritz ballots in the Third ward of the city
of Mandan were mutilated, and Holritz's
name was scratched off after election.
But as the TRIBUNE understands, this
would not make any difference in favor
of Holritz, as those ballots were counted
for Rolritz by the judges of election, and
the return as made by the judges is what
the board OF c%anvassers were guided by.
It is safe to say that Schultze will have a
hard time getting into the legislature,
looking at the facts as they have been
published so far.

HE committees have been named by
Mayor Baker for the inaugural exercises
to take place on the evening of January
9TH. The committee % decoration has
not yet been named and there are several
additions to be made to the committees
already named. In this connection it
may not be amiss to say that the general
reception committee has nothing to do
with the inauguration ball. This statee
ment is due the clergy, without whom
no reception to al incoming state gov
ernment would be complete. Bismarck's
clergy may always be depended upon not
to shrink from any responsibility as re-
CARDS the social and spiritual welfare of
the city and state. but very naturally 1t
is desired by them that it be clearly
understood that the wicked ball with
It's dizzy waltzes aud lively polkas-
to follow the general reception-can-
not draw upon them for aid or sane
ton in even the least degree. The
general reception committee there
fore, has nothing to do with the ball that
is intended to follow the righteousness
of the early evening demonstrations.

EDITOR MoFFEr is so thoroughly ,1n-
reliable, maliciously mistaken or inten-
tionally dishonest, that the TRIBUNE
very seldom deems it necessary to allude
to the statements in his paper. One
statement in the last issue, however, de-
mands attention. He says that "the law
says there shall be but one paper paid
for it, meaning the publishing
of the proceedings of the county
board and other official county printing.
If MI. Moffet will read the law again he
will not make this statement. The law
is very plain. In most counties where
there are more than two papers, the pro-
ceedings are published in three papers.
Only two papers published in the, same
congressional township can be made Of
fetal papers, and where there are only
two in the whole county and both pub
lis he'd in the same town, then but only
one can be selected.

The st. Paul News gives the Pioneer
Press the following timely rap on sensa-
tionalism, in connection with the. Indian
question:
The efforts of some Of the newspapers,
notably that of the Pioneer Press of this
city. to create an Indian wal upon paper,
undoubtedly has a damaging effect where
the characteristics of the publication in
question are not known and understood.
That paper ~rejOices having upon its staff
"war correspondents" and in order to gain
name and fame they must at least have a
war by wire and in cold type. That is in
reality about the extent Of the Indian wal
now in progress.
A maiiciously false report of an absolute
battle in progress last week, was the pur-
est fiction imaginable, and was evidently
manufactured bodily.
If these reports were like the ordinary
newspaper sensations they would not be
far reaching. but when it is considered
that a vast territory, which is open for set
Element, will be retarded many years to
come by such f~alsehoOds, it becomes quite
a serious matter.
In the first place, if there really was the
danger depicted from an Indian outbreak.
it is the wrong season Of the year for it to
occur. The Indian is Injured to hardship,
it is true, but in spite of that he knows too
much to go on the war path in the winter
time. He may court death by attacking
soldiers or settlers, but he does not go out
deliberately to freeze to death upon the
plains.
That there is some discomfort and dis
turbance among thelIndians is undoubted-
ly correct. That it has been e%ngendered
and encouraged by white men is probably
also correct. The history OF the Indian
shows that whenever a disturbance can be
created somebody makes money as the
result, even though many lives are sacri-
feed. Human life, however, counts but
little with those who speculate upon the
not ~engendered by traders and those who
hope to profit by an Indian difficulty it will
be contrary to the general rule.

we'll when he introduces a bill appropri-

gone about it in the wrong way. Let the

tion-say 5 per cent.-of the vast sum
paid by the settlers for public lands
much of it at the rate of $3.50 an acre
when it ought to have been but $1.25 an
acre-and the state treasury would then
be in a condition to take care of all who
are in temporary need within her boun-
daries.
