PARAGRAPHIC POINTS.
Congressman Hansbrough told an
Alert reporter that the statement sent to
The press that he had pulled out OF the
senatorial contest in Miller's favor, was
far from tue truth. He says that Mr..
Pierce can never be elected, and that he
is in 1t deeper now than Saturday night.
HansbrOugh claims to be gaining
strength, and Is certainly an admirable
worker. He says he is in it now to WIN.
Col. Haiyht, the deputy revenue officer
of Grand Forks, is in the city. He says
all he came for was to see Senator Plerce's

Senator Fuller has number of bills
which he will shortly introduce into the
senate. One is to define the boundaries
and fix the terms of court of tho Fifth
judicial district. judge'R Rose and the at
torneys are considerably interested In
this matter, and 1t will no doubt be ar.

ator's bills is the regular appropriation
bill for the asylum. This is of great i'm
portance and will be introduced early in
the session, that the committee may have
ample time to act upon it. A good many
have tried to determine the direction in
which the Fuller senatorial vote will 60.
Last year Mr.. Fuller voted for Walter
Muir, and it is not improbable but that
be will dc so again. In any case he will
vote as he thinks will best suit the ma
jority of his constituents.
1t is said that Representative Kearney
made search among the records of the
asylum Saturday, for the artesian we'll
bond, but nothing of the kind was found.
Mr.. Kearney is unable to discover its
whereabouts and says it must have been
unlawfully spirited away. He il chair
man of the committee to investigate the
matter. There ale curious rumors in
connection with 1t.
The report that Harvey Harris, secre-
tary of the old board of railroad commits
sioners, had been elected to the same po-
sitlon in the new board was little pre-
mature. The board has been considering
his name, and is favorably inclined to-
wards the selection on account of Mr..
Harris experience and ability. but the
decision has been withheld. There may
possibly be new man chosen.
