ASSISTANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STAND
1sH comes to the front this week in a
paid local in the Devils Lake Inter-
Ocean and says that his communication
is addressed to the "wives, mothers and
children of Nelson and Ramsey coun-
ties" He wants to know every time any
person comes home drunk from the
towns of those counties and he, Standish,
will make them jump quicker than scat.
He, Standish, will "put the person who
was Intoxicated under oath and make
him answer his ~(Standish's) questions

give down be, Standish, will ajail him.

HEAT, COLD, THIRST AND FEAR.
Perils of California Emigrants Crossing
the Great Utah Desert.

the Great Utah Desert.
We were now encamped in a valley called
"Twenty Wells" The water in these wells
was pure and cold, welcome enough after
the alkaline pools from which.we had been
forced to drink. We prepared for the long
drive across the desert and laid in, as we
supposed, ar ample supply of water and
grass. This desert had been represented to
us as only forty miles wide, but we found
it nearer eighty. It was adreary, desolate,
alkali waste; not a living thing could be
seen; it seemed as though the hand of
death had been laid upon the country.
We started in the evening, travelled all
that night, and the following day and
night-two nights and one day of suffering
from thirst and heat by day and by pierre
ing cold by night. When the third night
fell and we saw the barren waste stretch
ing away apparently as boundless as when
we started, my father determined to go
ahead in search of water. Before starting
he instructed the drivers if the cattle
showed signs Of giving out to take them
from the wagons and follow him. He had
not been gone long before the oxen began
to fall to the ground from thirst and ex-
haustion. They were unhitched at once
and driven ahead. ss
IVY ldUuer COLuluS UdCk HcU UQo drivers
with the cattle within ten miles of water
and instructed them to return as soon as
the animals had satisfied their thirst. He
reached us about daylight. We waited all
that day in the desert looking for the re-
turn Of our drivers, the other wagons go
ing on out Of sight. Toward night the
situation became desperate and we had
only a few drops of water left; another
night there meant death. We must set out
on foot and try to reach some of the wag-
Ons.
Can I ever forget that night in the desert,
when we walked mile after mile in the
darkness. every step seeming to be the very
last we could takel Suddenly all fatigue
was banished by fear; through the night
came a swift rushing sound Of one of the
young steers crazed by thirst and appar-
emily bent upon our destruction. My IA
ther, holding his youngest child in his
arms and keeping us all close behind him,
drew his pistol, but finally the maddened
beast turned and dashed off into the dark
ness. /.
Dragging ourselves along about ten
miles, we reached the wagon of Jacob Don
ner. The family were all asleep, so we
children lay down on the ground. A bit
ter wind swept over the desert, chilling US
through and through. We crept closer to-
gether, and when we complained of the
cold papa placed all five of our dogs around
us, and only for the warmth of these faith
full creatures we should doubtless have
perished.-Mrs. Virginia Reed Murphy in
Century. ia

Mr.. JAMES CONVERSE, of Dickinson,
has no reason to complain at his star of
fortune this year. He has just complet-
ed his seasons shipments of stock from
the Missouri slope and this is the re-
suit: Number shipped, 5000; highest
price realized, $65 per head; lowest ditto
$50. Here is the record of one man in
North Dakota with stock fed on the
grass that abounds in this country. Is it
not a pleasant showing for MI. Converse,
and incidentally for the country?

SENATOR K1NTER relates the experience
of n farmer in his county, (LaMoure)
this year, that may be taken as showing
what is possible in North Dakota: This
farmer had in 1000 acres of wheat and
his net profit from this crop will be we
$4,000. Just Think of this for results
from one seasons work. The people who
will secure more profitfrom this single
season than the land was supposed to be
worth are beyond counting almost.

A QUESTION of great moment to th

A QUESTION Of great moment to the
Louisiana State lottery will be decided
next month. A East was brought before
the United States supreme court last
spring by a couple of southern newspa-
pers to test the constitutionality of the
law prohibiting the use of the mails to
newspapers containing lottery advertise
ments. This law also forbids the use of
the mails for the transportation of any
matter whatever pertaining to lotteries.
The company's defense is that the act is
an abridRment Of the freedom Of the
press, and an attempt on the part Of

In speaking of "Little Joe" Bailey's
death a'gentleman tells this story, says
the North Dakota Globe: Joe was one
of the Dakota delegation to the Chicago
convention in 1883. The Dakota and
Vermont delegations sat side by side
and thus Secretary Proctor, in all his
dignity and %granduer, and "Little Joe'
were thrown together. Proctor, in a
very patronizing and b~enignat mood,
said: You Dakota people send rather
young men to such conventions as this.
Well, remarked Joe-we certainly don't
rob graveyards to find politicians. The
Vermonter smiled, and admired Joe's
nerve.

j. A. JOHNSON of Fargo, a good repub-
ican, writes the Fargo Argus a long let
ter anent the Washington correspond
ence in a recent issue of the Minneapolis
Tribune, which took a rather gloomy
view of the outlook of the republican
party in North Dakota. Among other
things Mr.. johnson says:
"The Mckinley bill, I venture to say,
Will make more Democrats from the
S~candinavians than most men have an
that the few articles that were either put
on the free list or greatly reduced, has
made them, as we'll as a great many
Americans, think that a little more of
the same sort might be a good thing. In
1890, Irvine was from - to Is cents per
pound, while this year it is from 8 to Ia
cents for the same Irvine. Then take the
item of sugar. In 1890, the farmer got
from II to IL pounds of granulated sugar
for 81; this year he gets from 10 to 20
pounds of the same sugar for the same
money, and SO you may go on through
the whole list. It is true that what we
sell mainly, wheat, is protected. That
does not amount to anything, as we are
exporters and not importers of that or
any other farm produce of North Dako.
ta."
Some n must have drugged Mr..
Johnson's cider barrel previous to his
writing the above, for he has got the
tariff, or Mckinley, or both, badly mixed.
The beneficial conditions which he
speaks of were brought about by the
Mckinley bill, yet he says the Mckinley
bill will make many Scandinayians dem.

Fargo Republican: A young man
named George Coulson was found wand
ering in the slough yesterday in an in
sane condition. He was brought to town
by the police, and by order of Commits
sioner Wilson was placed in the county
hospital to-day.
Walsh County Record: The seven
year old son of David Story of Osna-
brock was kicked by a horse last week,
from the effects of which he soon after
died. One Of the bey's kidneys was rup-
tured and had to be removed, but the boy
could not survive the operation.
Northwood Cleaner: Arthur Herman,
an employe on the Larimore Pioneer,
mysteriously disappeared Wednesday
night, leaving a note to the effect that
he was tired Of this life, and was going
to try another. He attempted to suicide
once before by taking poison, but was
discovered in time to save his life. To
friends he said that the next time he
made the attempt he would be success
full, and they have no doubt but that he
has killed himself. Herman formerly
lived with Geo. F. Thayer, of Aneta,
The only reason for the rash act was
"life was not worth living"
Jamestown Alert: A prairie fire got
under way yesterday in the eastern part.
of the country, not far from Spiritwood
station. Before the flames could be ex-
tinguished, 35 acres of wheat were con-
sumed, belonging to Anton Lawrence.
Fortunately a threshing crew was at
work in the vicinity and by the united
aid of farmers and threshers the fire was
finally stopped. If the large number of
men had not been OPPORTUNITY at hand
the loss to other farmers would have
been much greater. AS it was, a guam
tity of hay was burned for Andrew Tom
FAC, and it was rumored that a barn in
the track of the fire had also been con-
sumed. In the evening two of the far
mers of the neighborhood came into the
city with the intention of swearing out
a warrant for the arrest of Albert Monek,
a we'll known farmer of the county, who
is charged with setting the fire. The
penalties for setting a prairie fire are
such that if once felt no one will ever
care to commit the act again.
Wahpeton Times: The sons of veter-
ans of the Dakotas formed a single divi-
sion up to the meeting of the national
encampment at st. Paul, last week, when
the division was divided, and a new divi-
sion made of North Dakota, and Gustave
Schiller Of this city, was appointed COL
onel of the same, he having attended
the encampmentr as delegate from Sum-
ner camp. Colonel SCHUYLER doesn't
sound badly, and he can marshal the
forces with the best of 'em.
