Minneapolis Grain Men Kick.

Minneapolis Tribune 30: An import
ant conference was held yesterday at the
chamber of commerce, between pro-
minent railroad men and the railroad
and warehouse commission of North d.
knta, composed of Messrs. Geo. H.
Walsh, George Harmon and Andrew
Slotten. The commission has adopted a
series of rules for the government Of
grain warehouses in North Dakota,
which the elevator men consider imprac-
ticable, because they will hinder instead
OF facilitating the handling of the new
crop. Messrs. G. A. Pillsbury, A. J..
Sawyer and others owning lines of ware
houses in that state were present to re-
present the elevator interests, and the
rules were gone over quite exhaustively.
After a general discussion of the sub
ject, the disputed points we're taken
under advisement, and it is believed
that a satisfactory adjustment will be
completed at Il second conference to be
held at the chamber today.

twenty head of cattle. In the mean

First Meeting of the Missouri Valley
District Fair Asso-
citation.

ted, and Other Business
Transacted.
Meeting of the Board of Education
a Building Association Fraud.
Other Locals.
District Fair.
From Wednesdays Daily,7

The adjourned meeting of the district
fair was called to order at the city hall
yesterday afternoon by Chairman Hare.
There was not a large delegation present
which can be attributed to the grand
harvest now occupying the attention of
the farmers. Hon. John Parker of EN-
mons county, opened with a very enthu-
siastic effort in behalf of getting more
interest aroused among the farmers of
the district, and especially among the cit
liens Of Burleigh county and Bismarck.
He thought the citizens of the capital
city, where the fair ought to be, and prob
ably would be held, should awake and
show that they appreciated the efforts of
those who have ridden sixty miles beneath
a hot August sun, to lend a helping hand
to perfect an organization Of this kind,
where the great stock of North Dakota,
and more especially of the Missouri
slope, could be gotten together; where
the ladies of this young commonwealth
could show the world what they can pro-
duce. He believed there we're many
that were standing back who would come
forward to reap the laurels won by the
little band that are now putting heart
and mind in the endeavor to make this
fair a success.
Judge Gray took a different view of the
matter than Mr.. Parker. He said it had
been intimated and even published in
some newspapers that Bismarck was on
the 'hog" and wished to make the insti-
tuition a Bismarck institution. That, said
the Judge, is false. He said all we are
interested in is the advancement of the
fair, and we stand ready to aid all in
III power.
Of delegates outside of Burleigh
county there were four: Mr.. Boley from
Morton, Messrs. Parker and Woorster
from Emmons, and Mr.. Staley from Nc
Lean.
The committee on bylaws and consti-
tuition were unable to make a report W.
ing to difficulty in correspondence.
The question Of membership fee raised
quite a heated discussion, but was finally
settled by fixing the sum at $3.50, which
entities the holder to admission to the
fair.
On motion of Mr.. Braithwaite, it was
decided to hold a fair this fall not later
than October Is, the date to be fixed by
the board OF directors.
The convention then adjourned to
meet at the Sheridan house at 8
O'Clock p. m.
The evening session was called to or
der in the parlor of the Sheridan
house.
The report of the committee on by
laws was read and accepted.
DR.. Harcourt was elected temporary
treasurer for the association.
Mrs. Urbane Patter, of Emmons
county, was voted an honorary member
of the association for valuable services
rendered.
The secretary will call the board of di-
rectors together on Saturday, August Is,
for such business as may come before
them,

An Invention that Ou,ranks all Other De-

An inventor in Bridgeport. Conn.,,

an invisible device for deafness, which,
by practical demonstration, outranks all

great. Its advent can but be hailed with
JOY by both physician and PATIENTLY.

st. Paul Globe: Hon: John B. Bray,
the auditor of North Dakota, arrived at
the Merchants yesterday morning in
company with secretary of state John
fllttle, OF the same commonwealth.
These two gentlemen are probably as
young men as were ever chosen to fill
two such important offices, and the fact
that both are serving second terms is proof
OF their popularity. In speaking of Aud
itor Bray an enthusiastic admirer en-
route to Detroit the other day, said:
"There are no shire wder politicians than
John Bray. He is no sooner through
one campaign than he commences in
another. Last year he wss given a unan-
imous denomination, and I can assure
you that 1t takes a mighty popular man
to do that in North Dakota"
*
Auditor Bray is a mild hammered
young man who really doesn't look at all
like a politician, and least of all one of
the North Dakota band as it is known
and advertised in distant states. His
home is in Grand Forks, and he is a Red
river valley man from his boots up, but
he ssis broad enough to take a stand for
the whole state, which he declares has
been misrepresented to a great extent
during the past two or three years as the
tremendous wheat crop of this year will
demonstrate.

1. N. Baker, private secretary of Colo
mel Robert g. Ingersoll, met death in a
tragic manner. For a long time harmony
had not existed between his wife and the
wife of o. M. Anderson. A crisis was
reached last Saturday when Andersen
shot Baker four times, which caused
death in a few hours. MI. Baker has
been a faithful servant of the famous ag-
nostic, and was very popular among his
friends. His nature was reserved and
gentle, and those who know him little
thought death would come to HIM from
violence of another.

no money changed hands and Mr.. Cros-

However, when the parties got together
yesterday and the true state of affairs
was explained it was found that a settle
ment could be effected which would be
satisfactory. But now another compli-
cation arises. John Hoagland attaches
the money received by Hibbs & King for
a debt owed him by Crosby. It is a

jamestown Alert: "The fact is be-
coming more of a certainty each year
that North Dakota has no such charming
spot within her borders as Spiritwood
lake. Strangers who have never visited
the place ask if there are trees there.
The elegant groves of timber that adorn
the banks of the lake answer for them
selves. The water is fresh and deep and
we'll stocked with fish despite predatory
raids in the winter time by vandals who
have caught wagon loads from under
meath the ice. The distance FROM James
town is sufficient to make the ride agree
able and as a rule just far enough to
protect the lake and surroundings from
the destructive instincts of a miscella-
neous crowd which would 60 there if
the place were more accessible. There
are plenty of boats at the lake, and fac
ilities for stabling, and transient board
ing can be had. Week days are the best
for quiet and comfort, as the crowd of
picnicers each Sunday is getting larger
and more clamorous for boats, tackle,
etc. At present there are two large
camping parties at the lake, who will
have spent two weeks when their limit
expires. There is always a retinue of
visitors there at different points and no
Il need fear of dying from ennui who
is at all socially disposed.
The Pioneer Press gives in its notes
and queries column a good idea of what
the farmers alliance is, in answer to the
question as to whether the order is Sc
cret or not. The Press says: The ma
tional farmers alliance and industrial
union, at it's meeting at Ocala, Fla, in
December last, adopted, through it's su-
preme council, a constitution which es-
tablishes three departments Of govern
ment-legislative, executive and judi
cial. The legislative is supreme in au-
thority and its sessions are known as the
supreme council of the order; the execu-
tive is composed of the officers Of the Or
der, and the judicial of three judges who
are to settle appeals and grievances. The
constitution defines the eligibility of
membership to the national farmers al
lance in the following terms: "No per-
son shall be admitted as a member of
this order but a white person over six
teen years of age, who is a believer in
the existence of a supreme being, and
has resided in the state more than six
months and is either-first, a farmer or a
farm laborer; second, a mechanic, a
country preacher, a country school
teacher, or a country doctor; third, the
editor of a strictly agricultural paper"
The associations composing the alliance
have a ritual and their meetings are Sc
cret.
