Mr.. N. J. Edgerley asked that the
time be extended for reporting the testi-
mony in the case of the w. C. T, u. of
Bismarck VS.. Linda w. Slaughter. He
said that Dennis Hannifin is an import
ant witness and he is now a patient in

and he will be unable to be in court for
several weeks.
Mr.. Philbrick said it might be that the
plaintiff would admit the evidence sought
to be introduced by Mr.. Hannitin.
Mr.. Edgerley said he desired to call
Mr.. Hannifn to prove that the building
IN dispute was rented to parties who used
it for carousing and as a place in which
to drink liquor.
The case was by agreement on both
sides extended for thirty days.
MI. Campbell, attorney for Swenson,
said he desired to make a motion for a
change of venue and wanted till tomor-
row morning to prepare affidavits. The
time asked for was granted.
At 500 in the afternoon the jury in
the Healy case came in.
They announced that they had not
agreed upon a verdict. Mr.. Wainwright
said that he believed they might stay
out till spring and they would not agree.
Mr.. Taylor asked the court if the EVIL
dence they had listened to was good ev-
idence. The reply by the court was that
the jury was the sole judge of the evil
dence and the facts to be drawn there
from. Mr.. Taylor said the jury had
agreed to disagree. They we're sent back
to their room to make another effort at
arriving at a verdict.
At 5 o'clock they came in again and
wanted to disband, but after some law
had been read they were again sent

River Improvement Convention.

Judge Francis, Judge Edgerley of
Bismarck and Hon. r. H. Treacy Of
Steele represented North Dakota at the
Missouri River Improvement convention
held in Kansas City. Our delegates
were questioned on all sides regarding
the wonderful of the bright
young state and especially about the
capital city situated on the banks of the
river they had assembled to improve. In
speaking Of the hospitality of Kansas
City our delegates had only words Of
praise. They were we'll cared for and
extended the most cordial hospitality.
AS for honors they received their share,
Judge Francis being elected vice presi-
dent of the permanent organization and
Messrs Edgerley end Treacy were given
places on the executive committee.
Near the close of the convention pro-
. ceedings Colonel Gates, of Memphis,
Tenn, offered a resolution Of thanks to
the citizens of Kansas City and the Com
mercial club for their hospitality, which
was seconded by Judge Francis in a
speech, which was received with loud ap-
plause. Among other things the judge
said: "When Nature with her big and
beneficent hand scooped out a channel
from the country near the British pos
sessions to the Gulf of Mexico and set
flowing in it the perpetual waters, she
gave to man what was designed to be a
great highway for trade and commerce.
(Applause.) But there was something
cratic in the waters of the Missouri
which has not kept within it's banks, and
we have assembled here to correct ii, and
now having taken action that may result
in the improvement of the Missouri and
Mississippi so that they will be navigable
from the headwaters of the Missouri to
the Gulf, we are about to leave for our
homes.
"As delegates we have been the recip-
tents of that southwestern and southern
hospitality which is the essence and en-
bellishment of true American manhood
and w%omanhood. Great applause.)
The citizens of Kansas City, this en-
terprising metropolis in the great state
of Missouri, and the members of the
commercial club have made our stay
here very agreeable, and I heartily Sec
ond the resolution.
"We are here from different states, but
all local feelings have been laid aside, all
state Ines have vanished and we are
here as citizens of one common country
to promote an enterprise of vast proper
TONS" Loud and prolonged applause.
And in another place in his address
the Judge said:
"Let us trust that capital and labor
may be amalgafnated into one great
giant within whose veins shall flow the
blood of invention and art and culture
and enterprise and genius until with it's
mighty arms it shall lift the United
States, and with it the world, to q higher

"A Voice From Conklfnr.

CoNKL1NG, Dec. 18.-[Special. while
the people in the eastern part OF North
Dakota are h%oundering around in the
beautiful" the farmers of Mclean coun-
ty are busy threshing-where threshing
is not already done.
Ihreshing machines have run every
day and part of the night, SO far, in De-
cember, and as a consequence the grain
IN and around ConkliDg is as near in the
granary as it can be got. The fact is,
all the granaries are full and the balance
is piled up.
Heretofore we have had heavy crops
OF politics and no grain. This season we
nave an average of thirty-four bushels No.
hard wheat straight through the Conk-
ling country and no politics, and the
neighborhood seems to be thriving, all
the same.
Just think of it! Buy land at SIS per
acre and pull in 800 worth of wheat to
the acre the first crack out of the box. If
a man is not very careful in a country
like this he will be a "bloated land
holder" before he knows it.
Washburn is full of wheat and a de-
termination to get to the front Christ
mas-eve as they have never done before.
"Ihere will be a sound of revelry by
night" and don't you forget it.

came out "busted," SIGH is life. One
paper can look after all the politics we
have here now without any strain on the
press.
l might tell your readers about some
fine shooting done here this week at a
gang of fifteen deer, but I am afraid to
say much about it as Ward, Beardslev
and some other bad shots from Bis
marck might come up and scare the
game out of the county before we get
our car load. Should they come on this
slight invitation we will try and treat
them white.
There is nothing hard about our peo-
pie but their wheat. BILLY Xxx.

Governor Church All Right.

Editor Kellogg, of the Jamestown
Alert, who has just returned from Puget
Sound, has the following to say regard
ing the charges of fraud against Dakota's
ex-governor:
The reflection on Ex-Governor Church, of
Seattle. Wash, is without warrant. Gov
ernOr Church never made a cent by the
proposed transaction, n way or another,
and his part in it was only that of an hon
orable man and gentleman. The whole
matter resolves itself to this, that some
months ago man named Gasser of Duluth
bought an option on some high-priced
property near Everett, a booming town
on the Puget Sound. Gasser returned to
Dulut to raise money to complete the deal
He failed to do this and his option expired
II he had completed his part of the obliga-
ton he would have had the property. In
the meantime the land has risen enormous
ly in value. and Mr.. Gasser-who seems to
nee puncturing-appears to be sore at
his WI neglect, and has charged conspir-
acy between Governor Church, as attorney
and agent. and the owner Of the land, and
has brought a law suit against both for
damages, etc.
Governor Church stands we'll in his new
home in Washington, in which state he has
made money in a perfectly legitimate way

England's Grand Old Nan.

At Hawarden castle on Monday the lst
birthday of Hon. William Ewart Gladstone
was celebrated with quiet rejoicing rs. Tele-
grams of congratulaton and large numbers
of presents arrived during the early part of
the day from all parts OF Great Britain,
and there were also received several con-
gratuatory cable messages from the I'm ted
States. Nearly the whole of MIR. Glad
stones family was present at the castle,
and the village was crowded with visitors.
During the course Of the day Mr.. Gladstone
drove in an open carriage 10 the spot. out
side the chief entrance to Hawarden castle,
where a memor al fountain was unveiled.
This fountain was erected by tho citizens
of Hawarden, irrespective Of politics, in
order to commemorate the golden wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone. The fountain
is % feet high, and bears an inscription to
the effect that it was erected by tho par
ishIoners of Hawarden TO commemorate
the golden wedding of william Ewart
Gladstone to Catherine Gladstone, on July
%, 1884, and as "slight teken of admi-
ration and affection inspired by residence
of so years"
At the unve ling of the fountain Mr.. Glad

which he said that after residence of
fifty years at Hawarden he was warmly
attached to the place and that no hoped TO
continue his residence there during the
remainder of his life. Tho health OF Mr..

Hard Riding in the East.

During the last century when long
journeys, called riding posts. were
much in vogue in Europe among the
aristocracy and wealthy sporting men.
a match was made between Mr.. Shafts
and Dir. Maxwell for 1000 guineas.
Mr.. Shafts to find man who would
ride 100 miles per day for twenty-seven
consecutive days.
There was great deal Of money bot
on this thing. principally against its
being done 1t was well known. how
ever. that distances of 800 to !. 200 and
even 1000 miles had frequently been
covered at the rate of from 100 to 120
or even $50 miles per day. but the
knowing ones thought that the ener-
nous distance OF 300 miles at 100 per
day would be likely to break any
horseman down. Nevertheless, John
Woodcock. who was selected to ride by
Mr.. Shafts, performed the feat without
any extra fatigue or punishment. He
used thirty horses, aud rode three or
four OF them each day.
In Turkey the sultan's mails and
dispatches from outlaying provinces
used to be carried by Tartars riding
post, with relays of horses changed
every twenty or thirty miles, and are
now ia seine parts of the country where
telegraph has not been established.
Tho same man in charge went the
whole distance; these couriers would
often perform great feats of endurance.
From Bagdad to Copstantinople is
/, 600 miles. not over level or rolling
prairie, but frequently crossing noun
tain ranges. along precipices. across
torrents. ETC., and there is not a mile
of made rode the whole way. yet the
ordinary time the Tartars took to per-
form the distance was fortnight, and
on urgent occasions it has been done in
twelve days, and even eleven days.
There is no doubt whatever about
this because the route through Asia
Minor, from the Persian Gulf. was in
former days. before the Red Sea route
was established, often used by officers
and others who did not mind rough
travel and were in hurry to get home
orto get out to India, and they often
rode with the Tartars from end TO end,
besides the British resident at Bagdad,
or rather the rcsidcncy. was for more
than a century in the habit of trans
hitting dispatches from India and Con-
stantinople and Europe by these same
carriers. As much as 100 miles per day
has often been done for eight or ten
days by the Tartars. They Only rested
four hours out of the twenty-four, and
| pushed ON the rest of the time at rate
OF six 10 ten miles an hour.
