Items of purely local import are very
scarce this week, but the correpondences
on local politics and school entertainments
form interesting reading IN their stead.
Bismarck Tribune: There was a new
arrival in the household of Clerk of the
Court Hoskins Friday, and Hoskins is just
a little bit disappointed because it's girl.
Cberg g. Waliin closed their threshlng
season this week, having put in about 40
days work. Morris Anderson left for his
home in Ecklund Thursday afternoon, and
Ole Gradin pulled out for his ranch near
Weller about the same time.
j. Walkup and VIM. B. Lacy of Coal
Harbor took wheat to Bismarck this week
SO cents bushel, and hauled it nearly 20
miles. This Is one way the Mckinley bill
raises the price of farm products.
Willow City Eagle: Can the farmers of
Bottlneau county swallow the republican
state ticket when it is dead against all
their interests. It is not in line with the
good old republican party, but instead it
is in for ali monopolies.
Owing to the extravaganza of the
present powers at the national capital, the
quarterly payment of pensions is not SO
prompt Us heretofore. On the envelop is
stamped the information that it was
delayed ON account of lack of funds
Dawson Times,
Fargo Forum: The California supreme
court holds without dissent that crossing
the head of the ticket does not carry with
it the voters intent to cast ballot for
each candidate named under the head, but
each name must have an X before it to
make sure the voters interest.
At the NJ. E. Conference held at Devils
Lake last week, the following appoint
ments we're made for this, the Bismarck

]. w. Bennett, the old Bottineau gas bag
who failed to bleed the democratic state
central committee of North Dakota, and
several other state committees, for money
to help him start democratic paper, is
now editing the Fargo Sun in the interest
of the republican state ticket. Bennett
has at last received his price. The amount
was evidently very small, as Bennett is a
very cheap man, but he will probably
prove white elephant on Burke's hands
before the campaign is over.
Ingersoll, Oct. 81, 1892.
Editor Leader: While in Washburn one
day this week, learned that Peter Miller
had declined the republican nomination
for coroner. wish to suggest to the COM
mittee whose duty it is to fill vacancies,
that they substitute the name of Herman
Hanson. The Office is an important one
sometimes, and ought to be filed by some
one, and Mr.. Hanson would be satlsfac-
tory to the people in this neck of the
woods. j. Il.
Ex-Gov. st. John tells the New York
World his views of the political situation
after stumping all over the continent: II
am positive that the Democrats will sweep
Indiana and Illinois. Judge Gresham is
very strong in those states, and his com
ing out for Cleveland and Stevenson
renders this a certainty. The Peoples
