Exporting Bran.

The Grand Forks Herald notes that
the millers of North Dakota are receiv-
ing some very heavy orders for bran from
buyers across the water, which by the
way is an unusual thing. The freight
rates are very high on bran on account
OF its being SO bulky, but it seems that
the scarcity of food in European coun-
tries has forced them to draw upon the
United States. The Diamond Milling
company. of that city, IS now filling an
order for 1OO tons for parties in Ham,
burg, Germany, and it will be shipped
directly from Grand Forks to that place.
TIE company receives IN the neighbor-
hood OF $40 per ton for the bran, aud
with freight added, it costs the German
buyers about 1880 per ton, LAID down at
it's destination. This is considerably cheap
er than it was before the freight tariff was
changed, as per the present special ar
ranpement. If this demand from foreign
countries continues, the prices will ad
vance so materially that bran mashef
will be a luxury on this side of the
water.

North DakOta's State Building.

Fargo Republican,: President South
ard of the state Worlds Far board,
has received sketch for the state build
ing, designed by J. l.. Selsbee, Chicago
architect who is getting out designs for
other states and the directory. The
sketch will be submitted to the state
board at their next meeting, which will
occur in short time.
1t resembles a French farm building
with an open court IN front about 24x45
feet in size. The building is one story
high and contains an assembly room
56x25 feet in size with large fire place at
each end. Dressing and toilet rooms are
located at each end of the assembly
room, while at right angles to this room
are two committee rooms contained in
wings that flank the ends of the court
before referred to. 1t is to DO made of
timber filed in with rough plaster, the
gables to be of red brick and the roof
to be thatched with wheat straw. It is
a comparatively low building and the
cost of construction would not be excess
i've. It seemed to be necessary to have
an architect to devise plan who is on
the ground and in constant consultation
with the committee on designs.

Of October 26th, announces the marriage
Of Hon. J. A. Frye, who recently moved
to the coast country from this city. Miss
Cora E. Clark was the name of the bride,

The New Way of Voting.

The election held Tuesday in the
Second commissioner district, at which
county commissioner was chosen,
was conducted under the provisions
OF the election law enacted last winter.
The law is lengthy and complicated
one and has already given rise to consider
able confusion. 1t regulates the NOM
ination OF candidates, requires the print
ing of official ballots at public expense,
throws a number Of new restrictions
about voting, and, in short. practically
revolutlonlzes the old manner Of con-
Quoting elections
There are many good features IN the
new law and many that experience
is expected to prove undesirable. Among
its effects will be the practical doing
away with electioneerlng at the polls.
Under the new law the voter will walk
up to the judges of election and be by
them Furnished with an "official ballot"

School Lands Selected,


The state board of university and
school lands met at Bismarck. Wednes-
day, aud received the report of J. b.
Power, selecting agent of the board.
Most of the land selected by Mr.. Pow
or lies in the east and northern portion
of the state. About 10000 acres is
in the Fargo land district. This portion
the board accepted and instructed the
secretary to secure title to the same.
The board under the act Of the legisla-
ture has power to take land anywhere in
the state, but it is their object to avoid
all lands that may be contested. Mr..
Bray was strongly in favor of selecting
stock ranges for a portion of this
land and distributing it more over
the western half Of the state. Another
question arose in taking land that had
been newly surveyed. 1t was thought ad-
visable, if farming land, to take alternate
sections, but if grazing land to take IN
solid townships. 1t was finally decided
to accept about $4,000 acres in the Grand
Forks district, which makes the total ac-
cepted about 10000 acres The board
transacted some routiue business and
adjourned subject to call of the presi-
dent Another meeting of the board
will probably be held soon, and the full
amount of 100000 acres will be selected
as soon as possible.

Costly Carelessness.

Sykeston Gazette: Phil Mathews lost
40 tons of hay and his granary, contain.
ing 600 bushels of wheat, in rather
strange manner last Sunday. He was
widening the freguards around bis
buildings, using broom to extinguish
the fire. Completing the job and salts
flying himself the fire was all out, thew
the broom inside the tirebreak and drove
off. When about two miles away, on
looking back, discovered the fire started
by the broom, which contained smoul-
dering fire, and was famed to blaze by
the wind, with the above result. BY
hard work two other buildings were
saved containing 1900 bushels of wheat

Geese Destroying Wheat.

Hunting on the goose grounds along
the jamestown Il Northern has never
been better than it is this fall. The
sloughs and lakes in the Jim valley and
along the line of railroad between here
and Minnewaukan are full of geese and
duck. This is all very nice for the hunt
ers, but farmers are complaining that
uncounted thousands OF these birds make
the wheat fields their feeding grounds.
and many heavy losses from shock are
reported. Near Minnewaukan several
losses of from one-third to one-half are
reported on large fields.

Sargent County Teller: If we, who
live here, can SO far presume upon the
exclusive privilege claimed by the Twin
city dailles Of shaping the politics of
North Dakota as to have any say of our
own in the matter OF the election OF a
senator to succeed Mr.. Casey, we might
timidly suggest to those self constituted
powers whose claims we have never yet
dared to dispute, that perhaps, if they
look carefully after as good man as
Senator Davis to succeed Senator Davis,
we will have as good man as Senator
Casey to succeed Senator Casey.

the name Of the county and the date of
the election. The voter will then walk
to one Of the booths and prepare his bal
lot IN privacy, in accordance with rules
hereafter given. Section "a sounds the
death-knell of electioneering. It pro-
vides: mo person shall do any election.
eering on election day within the polling
place or any building in which an cleo
tion is being held, or within fifty feet
thereof, nor obstruct tho doors or en-
trance thereto, or prevent free ingress to
and egress from said building" The
penalty for violation of this section Is a
fine of not more than 500 and costs. A
guard rail is to be built in front of the
booths SO that no one can approach
within ten feet Of them. At this railing
challengers-one appointed or nom-
mated from each political party-are
permitted to stand and keep cases on
those who offer to vote.
The voting is bewildering business
and the voter who is not posted is not
expected to take kindly to the lnnova-
tion. On receiving his ballot from the
judges the voter goes stralghtway to a
booth and prepares his ballot. He is given
five minutes to do this. The method Of
preparation is the marking of cross or
x before the name of the person
for whom he wishes to vote. This will be
found an exceedingly complicated mat
ter in the general election next year
when there will be long list of names
on each ticket and three or more tickets.
This difficulty is, however, in a measure
overcome by the gracious provlsion-de-
signed, probably as a reward of merit
for the vote-it-straight party man
that any elector who wishes to vote q
straight ticket may do 80 by marking a
cross against the political designation of
OF such party ticket. If he spoil bal
lot he can get others, one at time-not
exceeding three in all-upon returning
the spoiled one. Any elector who does
not vote ballot gwen him by the judges
shall return it or be subject to fine in a
sum not exceeding 500. In case an
elector shall be unable to mark his bal.
lot he shall, upon request, receive the
assistance of two of the election officials
in the marking thereof, who shall be
chosen from different political parties,
and such officers shall certify OF the out
side thereof that 1t has been SO marked
with their assistance, and shall thereafter
give no information regarding the same
After he has marked his ballot the elec.
tor will fold his ballot 80 that the face OF
it will be concealed, and the etamp on
the back Of 1t can be eseen.. The red tape
of voting will then be completed by de.
posting the ballot with the judges, and
the bewildered voter will probably be
glad to comply with the last requirement
to Immediately leave the polling place

was adopted:
Whereas, the church and kingdom of
Christ has received it's great enlarge
ment by those quickening seasons of re-
vival with which God has from time to
time VISITED mankind; and whereas. God
has given to the church not only pastors
and teachers, but also evangellsta,
through whom he has wrought nightly
in conversion OF men;we as an association
acquainted with the spiritual needs OF
this community, and of the success under
Gods blessing which has attended the
labors of the Rev. E. B. Moody IN the
past, do hereby express our utmost con.
fidence in his character and capacity for
this work and his single hearted zeal for
the salvation OF souls, and that we give
him our hearty and undivided support IN
the union services which are now being
held, and that We bespeak for him the
sympathy and active co operation of the
christians of this community.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Shall we Drive Slow Poison From
Our Breakfast Table?

Alum and Ammonia in our Bread.
Aauisance that troubled England fifty
years ago is now rapidly spreading in
this country. That is putting Alum in the
bread We eat. This question is causing
a great deal of discussion at the present
moment, as it is revealed that alum Is
being used as substitute for cream Of
tartar in baking powders. A story Is
told that very large percentage of the
baking powders sold on the market con-
tain either alum or ammonia, and many
of them contain both these pernicious
drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at the
wholesale use of alum IN bread, biscuit
and pastry. To young children, growing
girls, persons of weekly frame, alum
bread eaten morning, noon and evening
is the most harmful. 1t is the small
quantities taken at every meal that do
the mischief. Alum is cheap, costing but
two or three cents a pound, while cream
Of tartar costs &c., and the high price of
cream of tartar has led cheap baking
powder to be made of alum. If the reader
wants to know something of the cor
rosive qualities of alum let him touch
piece to his tongue then reflect how
it acts on the tender delicate coats of the
stomach.
Following is list compiled by the
Scientific American, of the alum and am
monia baking powders that have already
