They Adopt "a Platform and Nominate Il
Stale Ticket.
DEs MONIES. Ia., June 13.-'rhe proli
bition state convention this afternoon
adopted Il platform and nominated ful
state ticket. The platform adopted is
long and complicated. 1t favors straight
out prohibition and unlimited coinage o
silver; the Australian ballot reform
state constabulary to enforce prohibi.
ton and the immediate adjustment OF
the whole United States internal revenue
system, since it's operation is to epcour,
age, by recognizing, the liquor traffic.
There was considerable discussion over
this reform, but it was finally adopted as
the whole. The candidates are as fol-
lows: Governor, Isaac Il. Gibson, Sa-
lem; acknowledgements, j. G. Little,
Perry; superintendent of public in
struction, Mrs. M. II. Dunham, Bur
lington: railroad commissioner, G. F..
Hart, Coyne; supreme Judge, J. B. Tur-
ney, Bennett. The action of the peo-
pies party in dodging the prohibition
issue, in both the Cincinnati and the
Des Moiiies platforms, was commented
upon and denounced.

"A Growing Enterprise.

That the settlers of North Dakota are
taking advantage of the tree bounty law
is attested by the number of trees and
cuttings shipped from Bismarck this
season. James Holland, who has been
engaged i'll the tree business for the past
three years, states that thus far this seas
on he has shipped over 100000 trees
and 100000 cuttings to different points
in the state, and that he has orders for
more than that amount to fill this fall.
He thinks that he will be able to double
his business next year. 1t is good in
dication, at least, that the people of this
state are becoming interested IN the
future, and with few favorable seasons
Dakota's plains will have enough timber
standing to break the monotony of the
landscape and furnish fuel for her
settlers.

dal in small volume, which he proposes
to bring out at an early date. In his
book he will deal particularly with what
he has termed the "rascality" of Lycett
Green; the manner in which the Prince
of Wales keeps secrets; his candid opin-

true and only reason why he was called
upon to sign "that document" how the

why he carries his own baccarat appara.

Terrible Accident

A fearful accident is reported from
Switzerland. A railroad bridge crossing
the eMOeniclen, asmall atlluethof the Rhine,
at Stein, in the canton OF ::i}asel, not far
from Germany, gave way under the weight
of an excursion train, crowded with the
throngs OF people who were on their way
to musical fet''. The two engines and
the first car with all its passengers first
plunged into the river, while ears remain
ed suspended over the stream.
All the trainmen were killed, and every
passenger in the submerged car was
drowned. Thirteen cars were saved. The
number of killed was at least, and Of those
injured not less than 100.

Against the Northern Pacific.

The action of William II. Dunstan,
plaintiff and appellant, vs.. the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, on appeal
from Judge Rose, in the Stutsman coun-
ty district court, was decided by the su.
preme court yesterday. s. L. Glaspell
of jamestown appeared in both courts
for the plaintiff and John S. Watson in
opposition. This was an action in the
nature OF ejectment for quarter section
of land, coupled with claim for dam
ages for its detention. The land in dis
pute was part of the original grant of
lands by congress to the railroad COM
pany and was sold by it to Dunstan.
The deed contained reservation to the
effect that strip of land 400 feet wide is
reserved for railroad purposes for the
main line or any of its branches. The
evidence in the trial showed that both
the main line and the James River VAL
ley road ran over the farm. Dunstan
brought an action to remove the branch
line, and the question largely turns upon
the validity of the reservation in the
deed being used for the benefit of the
corporation. Judge Rose directed YER
dict for the defendant. The supreme
court reverses the judgment and sends
the case back for trial de novo. The
opinion is by Judge Bartholomew and
the following syllabus is filed:
In an action of ejectment and to re-
cover damages for withholding the prop
erty where it appears that plaintiff has
conveyed the land pending the litigation
he is still, under S 5454 Of the compiled
laws. entitled to judgment for, Whatever
damages the evidence may establish.

ST. LOUIS, June 1G.-During the
severe storm which came up between
and o'clock this afternoon some twenty
five picknckers we're huddled together
i'll an outnonse in Forest park near the
police station for protection from the
rain which can down in torrents. They
bad scarcely got inside of the building
when there was sharp flash of light
ming, a sudden roar and quick rever-
berating peal of thunder and then
shrieks and moans and cries for help
issuing from the building in which the
people had congregated to escape the
storms fury. A wild scene of confusion
followed and policemen hurried to the
scene. Nearly all the occupants of the
clubhouse were more or less injured, one
being killed and three very seriously
hurt.

THE official returns of the recent sales
of school lands in the state have been
made to the board of university and
school lands and makes interesting
reading matter to any person desirous of
knowing the exact value actual farmers
of North Dakota are willing to ply for
land. We have it here l.: cold, hard
cash the results of one series of salee.
There is no boom literature in
this, no inflated and fictitious
prices. 1t is the judgment of
actual tillers of the soil what it is worth
for practical use. just think of an aver
age price of $19.6l per acre for land
that the adjoining residents secured
from the government for nothing. The
following is a tabulated resume of the
sales:

Execution of Fifteen Celestials.

The steamer City of Rio de Janelro from
China, brings details of the beheadng of
fifteen Chimes at Leowloon City, opposite
Hong Kong. among whom were the three
leaders of the pirates who looted the
steamer Namoa five months ago, killed the
captain and mate and secured over $4,000
of coin and goods.
A great crowd witnessed the barbaric
spectacle, which was made more repulsive
by the cynical iesting of the pirate chief.

Miles City journal: A noteworthy in
cident of the display of dog sense came to
our notice yesterday. A dog owned in
Bismarck. N. D., had under the weight of
years become somewhat of burden to his
owner, who, to get rid of him, adopted the
expedient of sending him as present to
Mail Clerk Van OsdeI, of this place, and
he was accordingly placed in charge of
Mail Clerk Shepby, who brought him
signee. Van, perceiving the JOB, put tag
on the dog with the inscription .'Though 1
am old do not desert faithful servant"
and re.shipped to. his former owner on the
next train. Through some carelessness,
the dog was permitted to get off the train
at Terry and left there. There it was
thought his history closed so far as any
previous owner was concerned. but after
q few days his dogshlp turned up again at
Bismarck, very little the worse for his trip
OF 260 miles. We are pleased to be able to
add that his owner welcomed him home,
and In recognition of his intelligence, will
give him home for the rest of his days.

WhiskeY and Love.

At Keegan's Lake, Mimi, Monday night,
there was an attempted murder, followed
by suicide. John Hogan, 26 years old, a
lumberman recently from the drives, and
literally supplied with money, tried to
kill Belle O'Brien because she would not
marry him. and thinking he had succeeded,
put bullet through his heart, dying in
stantly. The woman will probably recoy-
er. Hogan met her several months ago,
and since then had frequently been in her
company. Not until Monday, however, did
he show any especial signs of love, and the
girl who knew he had been on spree, as
cribed his affectionate manner to the
whisky he had drunk and promptly refus.
ed the offer of his hand. y.s
