Lively Wires.

1t was couple of hours after mid
night and light rain was falling. A
couple of newspaper men were going
home after hard nights work. Sud-
denly there was break in the line of
the flashing electric lights. The lamp
directly opposite the two men was
spluttering and sending only few
CLEANS through the darkness. The two
men involuntarily stopped to look at
it. Then came tiny fash from the
bottom of the pole. Look! There is a
live wire hanging down." said one.
Suddenly there came another flash di-
rectly in front of the men, and then
another and another just beyond.
Take care" shouted the other man.

DEMOCRATIC TITLES.


We often say win JOY and pride.
Our hearers 70 convincs
OF some ones quality that he's
A verilable prince.
An equine beats the record while
She's foaming as the surf,
And then she IS the Teigning queen
OF all the Yankee turf
In speaking Of the lion wild
That on the human feasts,
We an admit. admiringly.
That he's ths king q beasts.
II strikes me as remarkable,
And hard 20 understand,
How royal titles shine ia this
Most democratic land.
MethinEs ii speaking of prince
Whom We Wilh favor scan,
We should proclaim him far and wide
a blooming alderman.
The fastest racer on the track
To fame should ever be
The lady OF the white house Of
The turf it seems to me
The lion. while he 7racoles
with fairsor foul intent,
or an the animals on earth
Should be the president,
A '.real bona fde" duke
In whom some good we see,
A senator we should proclaim
In our unb0unded glee.
Our playing cards we cen should take
And tear 10 smithereens,
Till postmistresses and governors
Supplant the kings and queens.
These names that smack OF royalty
We should be far above.
II but to be consistent with
The principles We love.

Halls SHOES.

WHY He Wanted to Patronize Mr.. Mason.
Hal had been around the corner of
the street to see Mr.. Mason. Mr..
Mason is a cobbler who has little
shop on the avenue. and between whom
and Hal a strong friendship existed
He's one (of my best friends, Hal
often explains TO unfortunate people
who have not the happiness Of know
ing Mr.. Mason.
To-day he came in with faint cloud
on his little brown seven-year-old face.
He curled himself up in a big chair
opposite his mamma and watched her
sew for some time without making the
slightest noise, or in any way betray-
ing his presence.
At last, wondering what was the
matter with him, she said: What
makes my son 50 quiet?'
Mamma, . he broke forth. ignoring
the question. you know Mr.. Mason's
good when he got that other man 10

let me tell you, he has to pay that man.

Mamma tried to combat this gloomy
view, but Hal was inclined to hold to-
his impressions, aud to advocate his
own remedies.
"The trouble is mamma, he insist

Mamma replied that rs Hal was try

had better ask him for the shoes.
Hal stood ON the front steps for half
an hour that evening, waiting for the
head of the house to return from down

A large number of friends in buggies
attended the funeral of Lafayette Lock
wood from the Baptist church, yesterday
afternoon where services we're held. His
sudden death is a very severe blow to his
young wife, and much sympathy is shown
her. Mr.. Lockwood was twenty. nine
years of age, and we'll known in Burleigh
county, as a hard working young man.
Fargo is claiming the best system of
public schools in the northwest. Bis
marck will not submit to this. The
citizens Of Bismarck can indeed point
with pride to a faultless system of
schools. Teachers who have been en-
ployed in minor grades for the Bismarck
schools find ready employment as assist
ant principals in such cities as Aber-
deem, where two of Bismarck's teachers
of last season are filling responsible po-
sitions. The TRIBUNE points with pride
to the school graduates and our present
corps of teachers.

PROTECT u BREAD.

The machinery of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
1t will be in the interest of public health when their sale
is made a misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigid1y enforced. There is no
article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder. Il
. DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is the only pure
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
from ammonia, alum or faint of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. 1t costs
more to manufacture DR.. Prices than any other baking
powder. 1t is superior to every other known and the
standard for forty years. 49,
Dr.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
@ toned.

CRcer Cannon Kills a Mexican in
Attempting His Capture.

Deputy Sheriff Bob Cannon shot and
killed Mexican horse thief Monday
night, as the CITIZEN briefly stated last
night.
1t occurred a. wood camp, sixteen
miles this side OF Quijotoa, where the
man has been for two weeks past. Cam
non and Filiberto Aguirre, the owner OF
the horse, reached the place at half past
FIVE, and in a few minutes the man
wanted rode near and was told by Can
non to hold up his hands, that war
rant was gut for him, Instead Of COM
plying he spurred his horse, which was
seized by Aguirre. Still prodding the
animal with his spurs he tried to pull it
away from Aguirre, who hung on,
though lifted from his feet several
times. Suddenly the man leaped from
the horse and started to run off, paying
no heed to Cannon's order to halt. He
ran zig-zag, hoping thus to dodge ball
from the officers Winchester, and 81 OF
at his legs failed to halt him. By the
second shot he had placed oatclaw
bush between himself and the gun, end
the second ball, likewise aimed low,
struck limb, glanced up and struck
the fleeing man in the side, bringing
him down at once, OF his face. The
wound was mortal and he died in fifteen
minutes. He only spoke once and asked
to be lifted up. The distance at which
be was shot was Sd yards.
The dead man is reputed to be an old
offender, and has stolen horses in Sono-
"a, where there is said to be reward
offered for him, and when killed had in
his possession still another horse than
the one tor which he was in demand by
the officer. He killed a stolen calf a
week ago. He was large, brawDy man
Ct 100 pounds, inclined to be hard look
ing. He had but one eye and his face
was deeply pitted with small pox.
He was buried the next day at 10
o'clock near where lac was shot, the
body having been viewed by Acting
Coronsr Stevens Of Qui;otoa.
The horse in question, saddle animal,
was taken from w. G.: Davis pasture
below town, on the night Of July 18th,
and was traced TO the possession Of the
| dead man.
