June 23d and oath we celebrate.
For Superintendent of schools, e. j.
Fox.
For we'll seasoned lumber, sash, doors
and all building material at bed ROCK
prices go to B. r. Click & Co. 30
Wonder if our farmer friends COLI
slider the Mckinley bill blessing
with 15-cent wheat and 12-cent wool.
If you are satisfied with the present
administration of the Office of superin-
tendent of schools re-elect E. j. Fox.
The Langdon contingent returned
from the fray at Minneapolis sad and
disconsolate. Blaine is a blackburn
Der.
Mrs. DR.. Donovan left on Monday
for Kingston, Ont. where she will
visit during the summer months. Miss
Mary Perius accompanied her as far as
Bay City, Mich. They will return in
| the fall.
With wool 124 cents per pound, eggs
10 cents per doz., and potatoes worth
less is not the Mckinley bill a "bless-
ing?" But probably the Republican
considers comparisons odious.
Ben Kearcher was up from Cavalier
this week looking after his farming
interests. He reports the crops on the
mountain a little farther advanced
than in the valley. The COURIER
DEMOCRAT returns thanks to Ben for
a years sub.
1t is safe to say that outside OF the
immediate partisans of his opponent,
that the great majority Of the people
Of Cavalier county are we'll satisfied
with the present Superintendent OF
schools. It is certain that the credit
of systemizing the educational work OF
the office is due Mr. Fox and that few:
| if any, school officers have any grew
ances with this officer, and do not de-
sire to place new man at the helm to
plunge school affairs into ineXtricate
confusion.
The advent of ten German immi-
grants into the city Monday under the
. charge of deputy U. S. Marshall Shind-
, Ter, of St. John, was the occasion OF
considerable excitement. 1t seems the
f party came from Winnipeg and were
heading for South Dakota when they
we're arrested at Osnabrock by the
deputy on the charge of smuggling
goods into the United States. 1t would
seem, however, that this charge is onl.
: a blind as the entire party, with thu
| exception of the leader who had team
: and wagon, did not have goods enough
to collect a dollars worth Of duty-eve1
: under the Mckinley bill. The who'll
case was made clear, however, when
: Canadian immigration agent made hi
, appearance in company with tn
marshal and tried to bull-doZe then
into returning with him to Canada
They proved obdurate, however, an
IL although ignorant of the language an
customs of the country, seemed by IL
stinct to know they had certain right
under the stars and stripes that mus
be respected. A committee Of on
citizens hearing the circumstances too
the case in hand ard providing an il
terpreter the following facts wei
elected. The immigrant agent ha
hired them in Germany under a col
tract to move to Manitoba where the
we're to be provided with farm machil
le cry, etc., for which they were to Wol
"a six months. Upon arriving in VIM
IS peg, however, they learned that THE
were to be sent to the Northwest TIE
ritory and by the contract were to VOL
three years and support their famill
on $15 per month. Accordingly placi1
er themselves under the leadership of OF
of their number they started OVERLAP
for this point. They were followed
the agent who upon arriving at 5
John, obtained the help Of the U.
Marshal to arrest them fOrnot repol
ing at the custom house when crossil
w. the line. This was only blind
again get the party across the line
= subsequent events proved. 1t on
took the citizens few moments tori
the whole crowd into the clerk
courts office where every mothers 81
of them took the oath of allegiance
Uncle Sam. The committee tn
waited upon the agent and gave hi
until four o'clock to leave toWn-a
" when the hour arrived he was missil
The marshal still wanted the emit
party. The facts were telegraph
U.s. Hon. N. E. Nelson, at Pembina, who
h lrenly in substance was, to take
" man who owned the team back to-
mr. John and let the remainder OF I

the marshal followed his friend
