will cause it to sell in the market at from IS to
so cents per bushel more than an apple equally
as good in every other respect, but of some 9TH
er color.
Mr.. Ford said, l agree entirely with Mr.. AL
baugh as to the regularity of the size of the Ben
Davis apple. This (holding up an apple perhaps
an inch and a half in diameter) is Ben Davis
that grew in my orchard, and is a fair sample.
The entire crop is very regular, of this size.
This (holding up one that would probably weigh
five times as much) is Ben Davis from Iowa.
While these two vary greatly, the product of
any one tree or orchard will be quite regular in
size. While the Ben Davis succeeds well in al
most every locality, it does not do well in this
section. There is no apple that succeeds uni
formly well over large areas of country.
B. F. Albaugh said that an overly large apple
/ is not desirable for market. A medium sized
one will sell better, and in growing for market,
we should select those that will sell best. A
good color is of more value than regularity OF

Sioux FALLS is bound to become IA
nous as a centre of Justice" She has
made a worldwide reputation as a di-
vorce mill, and now the United States
p~ostoffice department has brought
charges against the Louisiana Lottery
company, and got a Sioux Falls grand
jury to indict the president, vice presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and directors
Of that concern and a United States
marshal and his deputies have gone to
New Orleans to arrest the said parties.
The charges were brought before the
Sioux Falls court for the reason that
their efforts in other states before United
States grand iuries have been frustrated.
The evidence was all laid before the jury
in the form of atfidavits and kept with
the utmost secrecy. The indictments
are for transmitting lottery ADVERTISE
ments through the mails, which is a vio-
lation of the lottery law passed last
winter by congress. The extreme pen
atty in cases of conviction is five years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine.

We are not engaged in a senatorial fight
or a state campaign now, but it is one of
vastly more Importance to the taxpayers
of this county. Throwing all prejudice
aside, disregarding all past affiliations
and looking only to the best interests of
this county, al the people afford to re-
tire a man who has made such a credita-
BILE record as Captain Moorhouse to make
room for n who has been tried and
found wanting and whose deep-seated
prejudices and peculiar methods make
elevation to power again dangerous?
The TRIBUNE has shown by figures that
cannot be successfully disputed, for they
are official, that the affairs of this coun-
ty have been economically administered
during the time Captain Moorhouse has
been on the board and if he is reelected
it is a guaranty that the same economy
in the expenditure of the county's
finances will continue.

through Ashley, closely pursued by Rus

After passing Ashley the pursuers were

animals were allowed to escape under
cover of darkness. 1t is saidlthat a herd
of some half dozen have been frequently
seen in Mcpherson and Logan counties
to which these two animals undoubtedly
belong.

The following is an itemized table of
the levy for the past seven years:

The ten per cent. bonds which Moffet
speaks of in his paper became due July
LIST, 1890. Mr.. Healy knew, or ought to
have known, this fact. Instead of pro-
vidlng for it in 1889 as he ought to have
done, and as the law required to be done,
no tax whatever was levied for the in
terest and sinking fund. What was the
result? Bonds became due in July fol-
lowing, and there was no money to pay
them with.
In Mr.. Healy's frantic e,deavors
to become a county commissioner he and
his friends are resorting to every means
in their power to gain their end. The
people of the second district cannot
afford to retire from office a commits
sioner like Moorhouse simply to crafty
the personal ambition of a man like
Healy. The taxpayers don't want to
forget that the Healy administration
cost the county over $22,000.00 per year
more than the Moorhouse administra-
ton. Just think of the expenses of this
county being $22,625.48 less in 1890 than
in 1889, and the expenses this year will
be still less. These are facts and the
county ~treasurer's books will show it.
The man who is continually seeking
an Office wants it only for the sake of
what he can make out of it. The elect
ors of the second district should bear
this in mind when they go to the polls
on November 3D., and don't be deceived
by any figures which are gotten up in
such a manner that they conceal the
trnth.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-10-30

VOTERS in the second commissioner
district are receiving personal letters
from Mr.. Healy, soliciting their votes.
He does not claim any particular fitness
for the Office, but says that "You know
how I have been treated, and my fam
lily have been treated" etc.. and "if
you think I ought to be indicated, then
I would appreciate your vote," etc.
Such an appeal is unworthy of Mr.. Hea-
ly and is an insult to the voter and an
injustice to Mr.. Healy's family. Socially
and as residents of Bismarck not a word,
so far as the TRIBUNE knows, has ever
been uttered against Mr.. Healy or his
excellent family. Shame on a man whose
Office itch leads him to commit such
folly as to drag social matters into poll
tics and whose greed for power over
comes his judgment and leads him to at
tempt to gain sympathy through misrep-
resentatiOn.

The experience next Tuesday il this
state will hardly be a fair test of the new
Australian ballot system. Only a few
county commissioners are to be elected
and the precincts are mostly small and
outside of the townsville localities least
in need Of ballot reform. It has been in
timated that possibly the law will need
some amendments in regard to these
country precincts. It seems rather cruel
that the voters should be compelled to
remain fifty feet from the polls all day
particularly should the weather be ex-
tremely cold and disagreeable.
