A Delightful Party.

The Gladstone was the focus of the
soclal life of jamestown Thursday, on
the occasion of the party given by Mr..
W. E. Greene, Miss Laura Greene, his
daughter, and Miss Spear. The house
was brightly lighted throughout, and
thronged with guests. On arrival, each
gentleman and lady we're asked to select
heart from an assortment Of that i'm
portant article, and to wear 1t upon the
sleeve. During the evening, the mate to
the little silk design was to be discovered
and the two were to be partners at lun
cheon. This impartial arrangement
worked effectively and thoroughly min
gled the company long before the even
ing was spent.
The guests utilized the parlors Of the
hotel and several private rooms, az we'll
as the halls for promenading, and the
dining room for dancing.
The hJsts received their trends in the
south parlor. And after an hour devoted
to general conversation and greetings
most Of the company went to the dining
room where dancing was provided as the
order Of the evening. Bountiful refresh
ments we're served at II p. M, consisting
of coffee and sandwiches, ices, olives
salad. cake, etc. There were many, how
ever, who preferred the quiter amuse-
ment of cards, to dancing, and remained
in the parlors and rooms provided to
engage in the various popular games.
Many Of the toilets worn by the ladies
were extremely handsome. The social
season OF jamestown was declared to be
fittinRly inauRurated by the affair Of last
night and the Gladstone hotel confessed

The Reminston Reward.

Judge Mcconnell has rendered de-
cis,on in the suit brought to decide who
was entitled to the 81 600 reward for the
arrest Of Remington, who murdered Flett
at Arthur two years ago. He decides
that Sheriff McLaren of Cass county, is
not entitled to any Of it, bnt that it shall
be divided between the Byrnes Bros, of
LII Crosse, and William Rose, at whose
house Remington's fiancee was stopping
when he was arrested.

Have Two Platforms.

In answer to the question: "Will the
democrats have the courage to stand by
the Chicago platform in congress?" Col.
+. G. Ingersoll said, in his usual clear
headed way:
"The democrats have two platforms
one adopted at Chicago and one elected
in November-but both agree substan-
TALLY about free trade. They may differ
about silver and state banks. OF this
am not quite certain, because the Novem-
ber platform kept rather quiet about the
silver question. The two platforms must
be considered together, with the under
standing that the New York one is in the
SADDLE. The democrats insist that a
tariff for protection is robbery, and the
question is, will the democrats have the
courage to vote against what they be
lieve to be robbery? take it for granted
that they will. believe that they are
in earnest, aud that they are convinced
that free trade will lower prices and raise
wages; that il the factories are closed
the mechanics can turn their attention
to farming. and in this way raise the
price of wheat and corn, and that when
trade is free We will have no strikes and
trouble with workinRmen. In other
words, that employers and employed will
love each other and work harmoniously
together, as they do in Eng.
land. OF course, the democrats will
carry cut the Chicago platform it the
New York one will let them, and it will
be the best thing to do. The question
OF the tariff ought to be settled as soon
as possible. Let US give the democrats
fair chance and an open field, and
judge them not by our prejudices, but
by the results"
"Was the defeat of the republican
party attributable to the high tariff
Would Blaine have been stronger
cardidate?"
II will answer this by saying that !
believe the republican party would have
won If Mckinley had been nominated.
First, the people admire pluck, courage.
1 he republican party would have shown
that it stood by the tariff; second, there
would have beer but one issue; third,
there would have been no apathy. the
campaign would have been full of en-
thusiasn for the candidate. We must
remember that a change Of ono in a
hundred in the east, north and west
would have given the victory to the
republicans, that is to say, a change Of
per cent and the verdict would have
been the other way. Many things CON-
bined to defeat our party but in my
Judgment the party. had it been enthusl.
aatic for it's candidate, would have
defeated the combination"

Reaction AGAINST Prohibition.

Fargo Argus: Iowa, too, is talking of
going back on prohibition. A prominent
politician has offered to bet $4,000 that
the law Will be repealed at the next ses-
where chiefly because it notorlously
fails to prohibit. The South Dakota
legislature IS understood to be IN favor
of resubmisslon.

Those Demoralizlng Pigs.

Fargo Argus: Bishop Stanley is
quoted by The jamestown Alert ae say
ing that thu, prohibition law Of the state
ought to be repealed. His reason Is that
it does not prohibit, and he asserts that
there ls actually more liquor sold IN the
state than when license prevailed. There
is good deal of talk Of this kind and
unless the demoralizing blind pigs can
be totally suppressed the sentiment in
favor Of resubmission and repeal will
grow.

Silver Anniversary.

Hon. O. A. Boynton and wife cele
bsated the 25th anniversary of their
marriage, Monday night, at their farm
residence three miles southwest OF the
city. A large company of invited friends
we're present, and the occasion was made
Q very pleasant one for all concerned.
The guests partook of an elaborate
wedding feast during the evening and
host and hostess recalled the happy event
Of Q quarter century ago IN the warmth
Of the congratulations extended by the
merry company. Numerous elegant pres
ents we're rendered Mr.. and Mrs.
Boynton. Us evidence Of the esteem in
which they are held by the pioneers Of
the community.
The affair could not pass, however,
without joke e-Boynton beng himself
the victim, in this instance. Among
the presents exhibited was huge box
labeled Legislative paraphernalia," !" from
an unknown admlrer. When opened BY
the amazed representatives elect, the pack
age was found to contain a most wonder
full collection Of articles supposed to be
valuable % man chosen to represent
the people at the state capital. A BADLY
worn poker deck, b box of red, white and
blue checks, q cob pipe. sack OF

the cartoon entitled 1.-THE campaign over"
half a dozen ''stogas," q razor which bad
been somewhat dlsfQured from too active
service, andother similar necessities OF
social and political life at Bismarck, were
exposed to view. In addition to these
articles, was q voluminous manuscript
labeled "House Bill No. 4-1l-44; An Act
70 Prevent Scab and Tick in Sheep, and
providing penalties therefor" etc. Mr.
Boynton was momentarily para!yzed
over this demonstration Of good will on
the part OF bis. admirers, but fonnd
words to thank the donors, and TO lay
the joke at the door Of Sheri6elect
Eddy. Az MI. Eddy had nothing to do
with the mRtter-for wOnder!the
laughter was only the greater on this
account. The identity OF the Joker re-
MANS profound secret, and Boynton is
still looking for clue.

gan Mr.. J. D. Goodman filed his claim for

claiming the store fixtures and stock of
fur coats. These articles were accord
lngly not sold. The remainder of the
stock and book accounts were disposed
Of at auction, to the highest bidder, for
cash, this being in each case Mr.. Nor
ris Beck. There was quite a crowd pres
ent during the sale, which occurred at the
store, but the bidding was limited to half a
dozen Of the creditors and their attor-
neys. A large part Of the stock had been
inventoried and the balance appraised by
commission Of experts, and the sale OF
each special line was made separately.
Mr.. Beck was the successful bidder for

by Mr.. Goodman before his recent
financial embarrassment. Mr.. Beck has
been engaged IN the store as salesman
for term Of years, in which service he
has made and retained many friends.
As proprietor, he will have the con-
Rratulatlons and best wishes Of the
community. Mr.. James Crum, apother
of the old force of salesmen, will remain
at bis post under the new order of things,
and his popularity may be expected to
continue drawing card with the public.

soon to retrieve his fortunes. In efforts
to this enc, he will have the hearty
support OF host OF friends.

Notes.

E. V. Smalley of St. Paul, spent Sun
day at the Gladstone. He was in
Grggs county last week looking after
sales OF land for the Minnesota and Da-
kota Investment company. Land sales
made the past six months have been
mostly to Scandinavian farmers and
others owning adjoining tIhcts. This
shows confidence in the country on
the part of it's residents which is one of
the best endorsements North Dakota
could get. Mr.. Smalley be-
lieves that North Dakota lands
would be generally taken by actual
settlers if policy was adopted
ny the railroad company of giving the
unsold lands outright to good settlers,
on certain conditions of cultivation
This plan has been u: ged upon the com.
pany by number of friends of North
Dakota, who realize that some especial
effort must be made to induce settlers to
engage 10 mixed farming in the state.
The profits Of this are unquestioned. The
company has persistently advertised
Moth Dakota, said Mr.. Smalley, and has
done the work intelli1ently and
thoroughly, bnt as yet the tide of immi-
grafton has not started this way again.
Potatoes.
There is scarcity of potat oes every
where, and prices are advancing accord
ingly. Produce men are securing the
country for them, and newspapers in
North Dakota are being urged to inform
the farmers that potatoes are gong to be
worth big money. Farmers who have
more potatoes than they can consume
should carefully save them for future
sales. Not only potatoes are scarce, but
onions, cabbages. turnips and other arti-
cles of the same sort are becoming more
and more expensive as the winter ap-
proaches. Apples are passing quite out
of the reach of most people.
The economical householder and his
frugal wife can reflect, says the Chicago
News, that foreign panper productions
in the way of Canadian potatoes are CON-
PEELED to pay tax of 25 cents bushe)
before they can get across the boundary
Of the United States. Other vegetables
also are heavily taxed.

WGNDHAM COUNTY, jap. 81, 1892.
Discussion for governor goes on quietly
under the surface in this quarter. Windham
county Is going to press the convention hard
with Il candidate, and If proper care is cxer-
cised In the canvass he will be nomina ed
by reclamation. The two gentlemen most
mentioned are Lieut.. Gov. l.. K. Fuller and
Col. j. j. Estey. Mr.. Estey he's the strong
est following in some parts Of the county,
but he IS not considered we'll enough known
at the north part OF the State.
The latest development is the suggestion
Of the name of Judge Levant NJ. Read of
Bellows Falls. 1t was not seriously thought
that he could be nominated, and his appear
ance as candidate would be only thrust
at Mr.. FuIler's increasing popularity,
hoping by that move to divide the party at
this end OF the State and cause Rockingham
to withdraw from Mr.. Fuler's support. Mr..
Read has put dampener on the scheme by
saying that he was In no sense candidate,
and the opposition will be forced to pick up
some other man TO carry out their plans.
1t has been whispered that Hon. A. y.
SWANS name would be presented to the
convention for dark horse in case there
should be a serious split III this county.
Up in Windsor county, Springfield has a
candidate in hon. II. ii. Arms, president of
the Darymen's association. The north part
of the same county wants Hon. William l..
johnson OF W oodstock, and Hon. Homer
w. Vail and .. N. Tinkham OF Ponfrat
are reported to be looking for the dark
horse opportunity.
Some leading men in the western part OF
Windsor county viii press Lieut.. toy.
FIetcher's claims for advance to the execu.
tive chair. Col. Hooker is stll workin. TO
get to Congress notwithstanding the terri
bic tempest OF two ears ago
1t is likely that zina II. Albee Of Bellows
Falls will bs nominated for States attor-
ney. Ho is called the best read in statu
tory law OF any lawyer in Windham county.
