F. T. Walker is in the city today

Deneen, who will arrive by the

Doherty never opens his mouth but
he puts his foot in it. Last week by
publishing a half column article Of
abuse on the End lieutenant of Co. ''E'
he managed to insult the entire COM
pany, who, by resolution denounced
the article as false and the writer a
falsifer.
The want Of rain will not materially
effect the growing crops in Cavalier
county if we do not get another shower
this year. Since the 18th inst. it has
rained more OF less nearly every day,
and Oh Sunday night we had the heav-
lest fall Of rain, while it lasted, in the
history Of the county.
! The small boy has already begun to
hoard up his pennies that he may be-
hold ''some'' of the mysteries of the
great show to exhibit here next We'd
nesday. At present his chief delight is
in gazing, with open-mouthed aston
ishment, at the many unheard-of crea-
lures depicted by the flaming posters
of red, yellow and green to his wonder
ing gaze.
This city was in the throes of an
election Tuesday. There were two
members of the board of education
to be elected and it occasioned as
much excitement as the election of
United States senator. The la
dies turned out en- masse and al
though some of them were new to
the business they soon "caught on''
under the tutelage Of their husbands
and intended ssfriends.' Like the
woman in the custom house they did
not believe in taking the oath which
objection at first was the cause of
a great deal of wrangling, but the
urbane Judge Dawson came to the
rescue and decided they did not have
to "swear'' SO that formality was
dispensed with. The candidates for
the above mentioned offices were H.
D. ALERT, M. D. O'Brien and r.
Meiklejohn, and resulted in the
election of the two former by the
following vote: ALERT 81; O'Brien
70; Meiklejohn So.
By long diatribe in his last weeks
poster Doherty attempts to prove that
the Commandments is not in ia
vor Of the enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law, but, with Lis usual 'sswine-
ishness'' he has bitten off more than
he can chew. The CoURIER-DEMo-
Graf defies Mr.. Doherty or anyone
else to show where it printed a line
against the enforcement of the prohi-
bition law. What we did say, however
was that the action of the men who
prosecuted DR.. Reilly could not be too
severely condemned as it resulted in
nothing better than saddling an adj
ditional debt of 500 ON the county.
The same reason that Doherty dare
not condemn the attempted deputy
county treasury steal compels him to
