Doherty will deliver a lecture next
week OH ''what he doesn't know about
elective franchise. It is liable to be
lengthy if he tells it all.
We call the attention of our readers
to the large display ad of B. R. Click
& Co. They still sell the Mccormick
and sell it on it's merits. See them.
A reliable judge of the cattle market
is authority for the statement thas no
country Of Europe, which has hereto
fore been exporting cattle, is prepared
to do so hereafter to any great extent.
Our Byron correspondent sees the
Milton Globe and goes one better.
Better by far to have the county seat
at Byron than at Milton. They have a
good farming community there at any
rate and a possibility Of increasing
their population.
The jury in the Agnes Baldwin mur-
der case at Devils Lake came in first
with & verdict of manslaughter in the
first degree. The judge instructed
them and sent them out again, where
they brought III a verdict of man
slaughter in the third degree He
further instructed them and sent them
out and after some hours of delibera-
ton they refused to render any other
verdict, and were accordingly dis
charged by the judge at a late hour
Saturday night.
Present appearances would indicate
that cupid has been making sad havoc
in the ranks of our bachelors the past
few months. Messrs. Winter and
Clarke already in the ranks Of the ben
edicts and now rumor has it that Wal
ter Laidlaw will bring over one Of
Manitoba's fair daughters as his wife,
and that P. K. Haugen and Harvey
Mathisen will soon take unto them
selves helpmates, We would enter a
protest against being thus left alone,
but-What's the use?
The nondescript editor of the Repub-
lican was aroused from his lthargy
long enough to realize that he and his
cohorts were ANONYMOUSLY defeated at
the school election last week-and at
their own game too. Smarting under
such signal defeat he blindly lays the
cause at our door. Many thanks and
we are very sorry we can't return the
compliment. Nobody ever heard Of
Doherty defeating anything-except
greasing committeeman King Alco-
hol has the better of him.
The Globe copies an article Of two
weeks ago on bonding the county for
$500, and maliciously distorts the
facts. Under ordinary circumstances
this would call for a remonstrance but
the object is so transparent that we
will not even reproach the boy. He
has not yet cut his wisdom in the pro-
fession. When he does, however, he
will refrain from hurting such elastic
ideas at the heads of his readers each
week as those that appeared in his last
issue. Such ideas are bound to return
and they generally catch the originator
Sin the neck.'
The'sKid'' editor Of the Milton Globe
still imagines that the people will To-
cate the county seat at Milton and for
the past few weeks, through the col
umns of his paper, has shown conclu-
sively how little he knows Of county
affairs. just imagine for moment of
moving the county seat from the cen
ter of the county and locating in one
corner. Then the people residing in
the northwestern portion of the county
would only have to travel fifty-five
miles to transact their county business
and in the spring time with the roads
are well nigh impossible. The idea is
preposterous and could only originate
in the mind Of a person ignorant of his
subject or blinded by prejudice. Bet
