Anti-Thirl Party.

The jamestown Alert in speaking of
the men who opposed the third party
movement says: Upon the departure
of the third party element, at a few
minutes of 6 o'clock, the remaining dele
gates Immediately reorganized with G.
A. Pollock in the chair. w. P. Moffet
was continued as secretary. Twenty
four gentlemen tarried to carry out the
errand which had primarily brought
them to jamestown, ana they lost no
time in reviving the resolution that had
proven a Jonah earlier in the day. Rev.
D. G. Palmetto read the zane, and
moved it's unanimous adoption. Judge
Keim of New Rockford, one of the'third
party crowd, had not taken his depar-
ture, and much to the surprise of the
assemblage at once inaugurated a vici-
GUS roast of the document. He seemed
bent upon another fight, even though he
stood alone, and was sure to lose. It
wal to warn them, he said, that he re-
manned, and in an eloquent speech he
announced that the publication of such
a resolution would lose the republican
party fifty times the number of votes
represented at the prohibition confer
ence. Little attention was paid to the
warning, however; as after proper time
had been given all to express their views
the resolution 'carried without division.
Messrs. Goodwin, Sheckler, Honey,
Wright and Palmetto endorsed it in
short speeches, all of which were we'll
put. The resolution as finally adopted
reads as follows:
Whereas, The question of the advisa.
bility of organizing an active prohibition
party in the state of North Dakota has
been discussed throughout the press OF
the state, as well as by those present at
this meeting; therefore, be it

FriRhtfnl Loss Of Life!

OF the many disasters with which mankind
has been visited. one of the worst is that class
of ailments which originating simply with
inactivity of the kidneys and bladder, causes
such frightful loss OF life. Under this appalling
category come Bright's disease, diabetes,
gravel, ordinary nephitis and catarrh of the
bladder. Nc class OF Inorganic maladics, against
which medical skill is pitted, so often battles
the expert practitioner and sets his skill at
naught. Easy Is it. however. to arrest these
dircful ailments at the start. The diuretic
action of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is just
sufficient to set the bladder and kidneys at
work, preserve or rescue them from fatal
inactivity without exciting them. The I'M
medlcated stimulants OF commerce excite
without either strengthening or regulating.
unfailing for malaria, dyspepsia. debility,
rheumatism, liver complaint and constipation.

History of the Ozone State.

Colonel Plummer in North Dakota
Republican: North Dakota is young in
the years of statehood, yet she has a his
tory that runs back more than a centu-
ry. Her period of Importance began with
the founding Of the trading posts of the
Hudson Bay Fur company, which had
origin in 1870. But the beginning of the
most interesting epoch was the advent of
the Americans, which dates from the ex-
plorations of Captains Lewis and Clark,
1804-5.6, and of Major Long in 1923. The
great American fur companies were the
first civilizing element that pushed up
into the northwest, after what is now
Dakota came into possession of the
United States in 1903 by the purchase of
Louisiana territory from France. The
first white settlement in the state was
made about 1780, by a French trader, at
Pembina, on the Red river. The final
settlement and organization of territori-
al government, and the rapid develop
ment of its rich agricultural lands have
given it first place among the wheat
growing states of the union. Its history
is varied and rich in romantic incident
worthy of preservation among it's arch
ives of value. 1t is now easy to collect
and preserve records of the development
of this broad expanse of rich state,
which, from the isolated posts of fur
traders, surrounded by savage Indians
has grown to be the home of nearly a
quarter of a million of enterprising peo-
pie enjoying all the luxhries of the arts
Of modern peace, That these materials
of the pioneer and later times in the
state of North Dakota, may be collected
and collated, it would be proper for the
next legislature to take the matter under
consideration and found a historical So
ciety. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Nebraska all have societies that are gath
ering and preserving the history of their
importance in the republic. North Da-
kota certainly cannot permit her valua-
bic record to be blown to the four
Winds It would be we'll for the press
and scholars of the state to become in
terested in founding a society that would
be the storehouse Of vast literary and ed
vocational Importance to the welfare of
the people.

The national encampment of the Sons

over 100000 sons of men who went forth
in time of peril to do and die at their
country's call. Much important business

are already in the field for the next en-
campment. Their invitation is engrossed

Comments on the Elevator Muddle

Comments on the Elevator Middle
Mayville Tribune: Damned if they
do, and damned if they don't" This is
the situation of the railroad commission
ers. The formers alliance has for years
tried to get just such an elevator law as
this new-fangled one on our statute
books. Last winter it succeeded, and
the farmer legislature passed the bill and
it became q law. The commissioners are
not responsible for the enactment of the
law; the farmers alliance, the farmer
legislature and the farmers who elected
the farmer legislature are responsible for
it. 1t is just what they have been clam
orlng for, and now let them have it, say
we. The commissioners plain duty is ito
enforce the law. To rigidly enforce it to
the best Of their ability would perhaps
be the best method of testing the eftica-
cy and merits of such legislation. If the
consequences be evil, the farmers will
have no one to blame but themselves.
Churches Ferry Sun: A prominent
grain man remarked to us one day this
week that Minnesota buyers would not
take our wheat at North Dakota inspec-
tions. W. would like to ask what right
has Minnesota to dictate to us what our
grades shall be, and again, what is the
matter with North Dakota establishing
a market at Fargo or Grand Forks for
North Dakota wheat and handling the
cereal to the best possible advantage to
the producer?

Has no Faith in Smudges,

Major Fleming in Fargo Argus:
Smudges are a failure. I had thirty
five as good ones as it was possible to
make; they were lighted Friday night
and are still burning. There were $50
more smudges to the northwest of me
and the smoke came right down on my
farm. In spite Of all this, corn and pota-
toes were badly frosted.

DR.. Abbott on Prohibition,

A Creston, Iowa. dispatch of the 23d
inst. says: CDR. Lyman Abbott of
Brooklyn preached to an immense audi
ence at the Bluegrass Palace this after
noon. In discussing the duties of pa
triotic citizenship, DR.. Abbott pursued a
similar line of argument to that of Col
onel Breckenridge yesterday. When he
said that prohibition in a state constitu-
ton could not make men temperate,
there was a decided sensation. Human
laws, he said, could not mold the char
acter of men. Creeds and theology
could not ave him, but the divine in
fuence Of christianity impressed into
the personality of man was the force
needed to make good government"

The Power of Music.

A lady who was once travelling through
a western forest with friends stopped one
night at "rancher's" Everything was
poor and plain, the cabin built of logs and
the dense forest crept up to the very door.
The wind soughing among the fir trees
made it seem indescribably lonely as dark
ness came on. The dweilers in the cabin
were simple, kindly pioneers, who had
grown accustomed to this rough mode OF
living, and had no thought above It. After
the plain supper the lady, noticing little,
old fashioned melodeon in one corner,
went TO it ard was about to open it. when
a young girl came hurriedly 70 her and
said:
"Oh, yuh mustn't play. Gran'ma don't

Then. with glance at the old bent figure
by the hearth, she seated herself at the

softly began TO sing, low and sweet. pro
