OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN co.

The opinion of Senator Hansbrough on
the presidential situation should be of
considerable interest, both from The fact
that he is our senator and that he is quite
likely to haye special means of getting in
side information. On his return home
from u trip to Washington the other day
he said "In my judgement President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine have reached
an understanding whereby, if the president
has a majority of the delegates in the
national convention and if there is a great
deal of enthusiasm for him, and it seems
to be the right thing for the Republican
party to do, Mr.. Blaine will ask his friends
to gracefully assist in the nomination of
Mr.. Harrison. If, on the other hand, it
will be a Blaine convention and there
should be immense enthusiasm for the
secretary, President Harrison will ask his
friends to assist in the nomination of Mr..
Blaine for president. l learned from very
good authority while at Washington that
Secretary Blaine, within no less time than
six weeks, stated to q brother officer that
he was not a candidate for the presidency
in that he believed Mr.. Harrison should be
renominated and gave it out rs his un
qualified opinion that the present occupant
of the White House had made the best pres
ident since the time of Lincoln. Secretary
Blaine further stated to this officer that
he had other reasons for not being a can
didate aside from his friendship for the
president, among them the fact that his
health was not sufficiently vigorous to
Justify him i'll undergoing the strain of a
campaign, and furthermore that the mem
bers of his family were decidedly avcrse to
his candidacy. 1t is unnecessary to say,
however, that Mr.. Blaine, who has long
been the most unique character in Amer
lean politics, may be deprived of the
privilege of deciding whether Inc will or
will not be the choice of the Republican
convention. I believe that the secretary
is u much stronger AL in health than he
himself thinks he is"

jamestown Capital: Wheat is now the
subject of interest above all others to the
farmers of North Dakota. To attempt to
ascertain legitimate causes for the auctu-
atoms in the prices one day with another
in the Duluth, Minneapolis and Chicago
markets, which are controlled to a large
extent by the "bulls and bears" who make
and break in speculation in this cereal is
utterly vain. 1t is u fact of condition that
these spectators control or produce the
fluctuations in the market, but the general
average is controlled by the memorable
law of supply and demand. Supply and
demand is the basis upon which the farmers
must figure and is the only reliable basis
of calculation on the future price of wheat.
The daily market quotations show zigzag
course, right and loft, up and down, as the
bulls OF the bears of the wheat gamblers
get control for the time, but the general
direction is governed by the law of supply
and demand. The farmer who would make
an intelligent calculation must take this rs
the basis and keep the Legitimate result
constantly in view, and by doing SO he can
reasonably we'll determine whether it is
best to sell or hold his wheat. For this
reason the daily market reports are of
little real interest to the farmer, unless he
is preparing to put his wheat upon the
market at any moment. for he cannot fore
tell from the market today what the price
will be tomorrow. These board of trade
prices are not legitimate. They are either
above or below the actual value, as deter
mined by supply and demand, and are
consequently fictitious and unreliable.
Keep your eye ON the worlds supply and
damand.

Bismarck Tribune. Stranger than fic-
ton are the stories told about Melbourne,
the man who can produce a rainfall at his
will. His latest experiments were at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, last Tuesday. He
agreed to produce the rain at a certain
hour, and a copious shower fell at the
predicted time. Unlike Prof. Dyrenforth,
his methods are a secret. He constructs q
little house barely large enough to hold
himself and the mysterious contents of a
large valise which is his constant compan-
ion. This box house has an aperture in
the roof. Before the date upon which rain
is to fall he enters that box and closes it
Theoretically to the outside world. He will
permit nobody to examine it's interior, n
if approached by reporters or other in
quisitive persons shuts up shop and refuses
to proceed with the experiment. He re-
mains in his box for hours and sometimes
for a day or two preceding the expected
rain. In nearly every instance he has
needed an umbrella when time was called.
Melbourne claims that he produces rain by
the generation of certain gases which es-
capes through the aperture in the roof OF
his box and ascending to the upper air
strata produce at once the meteoro
logical conditions necessary to the pre-
cinitation of rain. Further than this he
win not explain his process. He will not
tell what the mysterious gases are nor how
they are produced.
whether he has discovered a new priE-
cipal in science or is simply a phenomenal
euesser, he is successful in producing rain
fall.

jamestown Capital. 1t is noted in the
papers that the log house in Indiana where
Abraham Lincoln lived with his parents in
his early %boyhood days is being moved to
Chicago and to have a place in the worlds
fair. When Lincoln became famous more
than thirty years ago investigation showed
that the log hut in question had been torn
down and not n trace of it could be found.
The Studebaker brothers procured a mar
BILE slab to place Mt the grave of Lincoln's
mother on that place where a few others
were also buried and no one could to Q
certainty point out the grave sought for
and no one to this day knows whether the
slab stands ut her grave or that of some
one else. The family was poor and came
to the wilds of Illinois in an early day and
it was long years afterwards before any
inquiry was made as to their previous his
tory. In the meantime the old Indiana
place had passed into new hands and the
old land marks had disappeared. Those
who attend the worlds fair will have to
draw wholly upon their imagination to see
the log cabin of Lincoln's early boyhood
days.

Edgeley Mail: An agent of one of the
loan companies holding a large number of
farm mortgages in this section has recently
been through here looking up the condition
and location of the many pieces of land
that have gone back into their hands
through foreclosure. When asked regard
ing these lands the agent replied that
within a year or two there would be q far
mer on every quarter section they owned.
While the statement was not directly made
the inference was that the company inten-
ded %tenanting their lands by farmers,
rather than selling them. While it may
not be the most desirable thing in the
world to nave our farmers tenants instead
of owners, still such a condition is pre-
ferable to holding the land out of use, for
speculation. 1t will insure an increased
business, better social conditions, and in
creased value to our holdings. North
Dakota lands will Don be at . premium.

February, 1892, will have twenty-nine
days; in other words, 1892 will be a leap
year. The rule is that all years whose
figures, or date numbers, are divisible
without remainder bv four are leap years.
excepting the century years, which are leap
years only when they are divisible without
remainder by 400. For instance, 1900 was
not a leap year, and 1900 will not be, but
1000 will be.

Killed by the Cars.

John BotZen, who worked on the
farm of Nicholas Rock, in the town
of Kendall, La Fayette county, was
killed by the cars about two miles this
side of Calamine, on Thursday even
ing of last week. The engineer and
the fireman first saw him lying upon
the side of the track with his head
upon a tie, but were unable to stop
the train before reaching him. He
was struck in the head by the cow
catcher, which cut open his scalp and
broke his neck. The body was taken
on board the train and carried to this
city where an inquest was held. He
had been at Darlington that day to
receive bounty for killing a wolf,
His naturalization papers were found
in one of his pockets he being
from Germany, and a resident of
this country for only about three
years. He was q years old and
was an industrious young man. 1t is
supposed that on his way home he
fell down and went to sleep on the
track and was unconscious when sud
den death came upon him. His par
ents still live in Germany, and the
news of his death will be dreadfully
