Desired by Corporations.

Grand Forks Herald: The report cur
rent throughout the state that Governor
Burke's nomination is desired by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroad corporations, as we'll as by the
elevator companies dong business in the
state, will cost the republican party sew
eral thousand votes in the event Of
Burke's denomination. There is dlspo-
sition among the sane people of the state
to be just, fair and liberal with the rail-
way and elevator corporations, but il
these institutions unnecessarily interfere
with state. matters when their interests
are in no sense jeopardized, they will
wake up later on to the fact that they
have made serious mistake.

They Feel Encouraged.

Hon. Ira Lampman of Barnes county,
spent FRIDAY IN Jamestown. He will
address the farmers meeting at Eldridge
Saturday. Mr.. Lampman says that the
Independent party is rapidly gaining in
numbers throughout the state. In
Barnes county there is no elimination in
interest, and full county ticket, besides
the state ticket will be in the field. Mr.
Lampman remarked that it was rather
singular that Stutsn,an county had no
effective alliance organization seeing that
on all sides the farmers had good work
ing movement. The reason given for
this was that in the past the men who
had the alliance move in charge in this
county had used the influence acquired
to get On the republican county or state
tickets, and when that was accomplished
they claimed all politics in the alliance
shoald cease. Mr.. Lampman reports an
effective organization of the alliance in
many counties of the state.

Telling State Secrets.

In the interests OF Gov. Burke the Bis
marck Tribune prints two column arti-
Gle reviewing the factional fights in
Burleigh county. Among other dis
closures Of political nature is the fol-
lowing:
Yes, the Pierceites lay great stress on
the penitentiary board and the mistakes
of the governor, but they fail TO tell
the farmers and republicans of this
county that through the instrumentality
OF Senator Pierce, assisted possibly by
Senator Power, 81 600 annually-or 81, ,OCO
for four years-pald into the treasury OF
Burleigh county by the government as
rent for the United States court rooms,
was taken therefrom and given to, who?
IL. P. Baker, a democrat. a banker,
whose former cashier, it will be remem-
bered, wore Grape for the death of jeff.
Davis.
Not only Is the county deprived of this
81 900 per annum but through the lnf1u.
ence solely and absolutely of Senators
Pierce and Power, who are interested in
the building to which the Q. S. court
was removed the RENT HAS BEEN RAISED
TO $2,50O A yEAR-or $4,000 for four
years. They will fail to tell the republic
cans of this county that not only has
this republican pap been thrown to a
democrat, but that this same democrat
is today their inspiration and leader.
Not a caucus, not a consultation. not a
move Is made by the ultra. Pierce, anti
Burke faction, but that is either directed
or acquiesced IN by Mr.. Baker.

A Ticket Three Feet Long.

Grafton News- Times: That the voters
may be fully prepared regarding the
coming ticket this fall, we publish what
a prominent state official said regarding
1t yesterday: ''Three tickets will be
necessary at the coming election to con-
tain the names OF the candidates to be
voted for throughout the state, as one
ticket, If insisted upon, would be about
three feet in length. The presidential
ticket alone, providing for the electors
from each party will reach
nineteen inches. It We should
have four ticksts here, in county, con-
gressional and legislative matters. the
ticket prepared by the auditor will be
longer than can conveniently he handled,
and the division Of that, if 1t were per.
missable, might be considered. In any
event, however, the decision Of the state
judges makes necessary the providing of
at least four ballot boxes at every polling
place, two for the state ticket, one for
the county and one in which women
vote"

struggle to put the third man out and
retire the side.
The pony race was won by John
Nichols pony, for SIS purse. The horse
race was won by Pendray's horse, rider
Ernest Bowes, for purse of $500. The
sack race was easily triumphed in by Ed
Pannell. The pie race in which number
of hungry boys entered into con-

Rev. G. A. Harvey breaches q
Strong Sermon Against
Prohibition.
A Large Audience Approves
His Convictions on The
Subject.
A Local EntomoIogist Writes
About North Dakota
Insects. E

| Ihe congregation which assembled IN
the Episcopal church last Sunday was
treated to an unusually interesting and
able discourse by the pastor, Rev. G. A.
Harvey. His subject was temperance
and the manner in which it was handled
and the force be gave to his opinion by
! argument and the results of experience,
was unique and unusual in the pulpit
discussion Of this frequently discussed
subject. Mr.. Harvey does not believe
that the evil of drunkenness can be
cured by law. He takes the ground that
the drinker is more responsible than the
seller and that the tendency to shift the
responsibility Of the effects OF intem.
perance from the man who deliberately
procures liquor and drinks to excess,
onto the shoulders OF the saloon keeper
is mistake. The text for the sermon
was taken from Luke seventh chapter
verses 49, IS. The minister referred to
the;fact that it was impossible to prevent
men drinking il they wanted to, and not
until the manufacture of liquors was
abolished everywhere could such thing
as prohibition be success. On the at
tempt to regulate appetite by law Mr..
Harvey said in substance:
Man is a stubborn thing, and he has
stubborn and determined will. and when
law steps in and says to him we prohibit
you from doing SO and SO, and makes it
a punishable offense to carry on what he
thinks to be legitimate business, in
nine cases out of ten be is going to bring
his mind and his will power to work.
and he Is going, to use the phrase have
heard many tlmes-he is going to raise
heaven and earth to thwart one law; and
what before he did merely as means to
earn livelihood, lie will now do with
another far greater stimulative, and that
is to evade the law which he deems un-
just; only with this difference-before he
did it openly and perhaps with certain
amount Of pride IN carrying on the busi-
ness with honest motives, and conduct
ing it decently, he will now do it with
underhand cunning. and dark schemes
to elude the vigilance of the law.
The sermon was listened to with
great deal of attention. Mr.. Harvey's
remarks will be generally endorsed by
the people Of the city who have grown
tired Of the attempts to prohibit the sale
Of intoxlcauts by statutes that cannot be
enforced.

VALLEY CITY'S CLAIMS.
A Citizen Thinks the Chautauqus
Should Meet There.

A Citizen Thinks the Chautauqua
Should Meet There.
A Valley City correspondent writes
The Argus as follows: Since the meeting
of North Dakota Chaut.uqua at Spirit
wood lake this summer there has been q
big kick registered from the people attend
ing as regards the place of holding the
meeting. 1t is said that the roads from
jamestown to Spiritwood were we'll nigh
impossible, and that there was not
sufficient accommodations at the lake for
SO large a crowd. In view Of all these
difficulties, it was decided that some
other place would have to be selected
which had better facilities for
handling the crowd than Spirit.
wood. Valley City was spoken Of,
and everyone present Vas of the opinion
that that would be the place to hold it
next year. On account of its central
location, as regards Minnesota as we'll as
Dakota, and its facilities for handling q
crowd OF this size, it was thought that
this city was by far the best place to
hold it. That it has plenty of accommo-
dations was shown by the manner in
which it disposed of the independent
convention which was held here. and as
to the $50 shares which it is necessary
for the city obtaining the Chautauqua
to purchase, it would easily dispose Of
that question. Taking everything into
consideration, it is the best place to have
it. By all means let the committee which
has this in charge vote to have it there.

only took about seven and half min
utes to do the business in the Secont
ward. The following gentlemen were
elected:

Miller, Alfred Dickey, Arthur Dewey
Jno. ID. Goodman, Charles E. McElroy
I. G. Wade, 8. l.. Glaspell, P. Gaffney
NJ. L. Parker.

Fourth Ward-Geo. c. Smith. Frank
Ingalls,, B. S. Russell, J. B. NeNault,
Oscar White, David Botsford, Lewis
Lyon.
In the Second ward, J. J. Nierling, j.
G. Warnock and l.. B. Miner were elected
as precinct committee.
The only ward where there was any
degree of open opposition to one ticket
by the advocates of another was the
First. Here the caucus was held in the
court house, and the polls kept open
until nine o'clock. There were two
tickets in the field, one bearing names
friendly to +. c. Wade, as candidate for
commissioner of agriculture on the state
ticket, and the other names favoring F.
B. Fancher. The Wade ticket won a
majority of delegates, by large major
ity. An unexpected incident occurred
during the evening. TIE asylum en-
ployees came in force to vote for their
candidate, President Fancher of the
board OF trustees, and also, of course, to
select names friendly to Gov. Burke.
The first one OF the asy lum men who
offered to vote was challenged and
acknowledged that he was democrat.
His vote was not allowed and the votes
OF three others were refused on the same
grounds. The caucus believed in straight
party politics, and there was some caustic
comment indulged in by republicans on
the attempt to vote the democrats from
the asylum.
The delegates who were elected in the
Second, Third and Fourth wards, were
chosen without opposition, and ap-
parently do not represent any particular
candidate or faction. While some Of the
states were carefully made up and SUBJ
mitted to the leaders for revision, it is
doubtful If the leaders themselves know
the personal opinions Of any considerable
number of the delegates. Some have
not even expressed an opinion, and will
act as seems to them best for the good of
the party. when it comes to choosing
delegation to the state convention on
Saturday. The names selected are those
OF fairly representative citizens. in each
ward.

as in fact are all insects IN high

The variety of moths and millers is very

only the artificial light can bring to the
view specimens from their numerous
tribes. Many of the moths are extreme
