Off For Nashville.

Uncle Ben Jewell, the ne plus ultra
river pilot. took last Fridays train for
Nashville, Tenn. Ben says there Is a
huge. side-wheel steamer, the 'Jeems'
johnson, at that point, to be brought
to Bismarck in the spring, and that as
the bringing of steamer up the river
that distance requires a skill possessed
by few, the owners OF the boat have sent
for him to come and get the boat ready
for the trip.
Eyes, I'm goin' to Nashville" said
Uncle Ben'yesterday afternoon. '"There's
only a few of us real, old-time pilots left.
I'm n of 'em, and there's another
down south. His name is Benjamin l..
Jewell, too, almost like mine, though
we're no kin. Now my name," continued
Ben, in alower tone, sis just plain, every
day Ben Jewell, 'cept when I do bust
ness with my bankers, and then it's
Benjamin T. Jewell. I don't use the T.
'cept when I do business with the bank.
I used it a while ago, the first time in
several months" and he pulled from an
inner pocket q roll of bills which dazzled
the eyes of the b%ystanders. Then he
lighted his pipe. cts a pretty good old
T. too" he murmured.

Well! So Mr.. Havana dispenses booze
along with stamps through the general
delivery window, does he? Verify, the
climax of blind pigism mas been reached.
Postmaster Havana's stamp factory and
distillery must do a more thriving bust
ness than the ordinary North Dakota
postofice.
1t seems sad that the strong arm of
the law should step in and interfere
with this little snap. If the report
proves true Mr.. Havana will, no doubt,
be relieved from his arduous duties as
postmaster. And how his regular cus-
toners will miss him when they step up
to the general delivery and ask for mail.
How they will mss his tender voice, as
he asks them in dulcet tones If they
want Havana whisky. Imagine a happy
crowd as they sit around the postofice
stove, drink and smoke and spit tobacco
juice on the postal cards, and then think
how rudely Wanny will bust up the little
game.
Havana, it is hoped you didn't

The state board of Worlds Fair direc-
tors met Tuesday in Grand Forks, says
the Republican. President Hector,
Secretary McGinnis, Executive Manager
Dickey, J. A. Field, Gov. Burke and H.
P. Ruc'1er were present. Manager
Dickey announced that he had ordered
the coat of arms of the state placed on
the building, aud the board appropriated
500 for that purpose. The action of
Dickey provoked rather caustic comment
from some of the members.
Manager Dickey announced that the
ladies of Fargo, Grand Forks, Caring
ton, Mandan, Bismarck, Lisbon, Ellen
dale, LaMoure, Hillsboro, Lakota, Park
River, Grafton and st. Thomas had al
ready, or we're about to organize Column
bian clubs, and were rendering effective
assistance, and the ladies of Cass county
would undertake to furnish the ladies'
reception room of the state building. It
was decided to make the exhibit original
and novel aud to have the work per-
formed by North Dakotans. 1t was
decided to have no more secret meetings
of the board. J. M. Turner was elected
treasurer, with a bond of $1,000. He
will have charge of all moneys. A num-
Der of bills were audited, after which
the board adjourned until Wednesday at
10 o'clock.

Special Train to Washington.

SfoSAsA A"A = vhSAAuSEUns -''EE%%J
A scheme is on foot to charter a spec
ial train from North Dakota to WASH
ington, for democrats who want to attend
Cleveland's Inauguration. Senator Nc
Cormack says: cat least 100 people
could be induced to 60, and they will
just fill four sleepers comfortably. We
will have the handsomest train ever put
through, and they'll all know when the
North Dakota crowd arrives. The
proposition at present is for a trip tx,
Washington and New York, three days
to be spent in the metropolis. It is esti-
mated that 100 people can go and make
the trip for 1888 each, which will include
meals and sleeping arrangements. If We
take a band it will cost more-perhaps
$4,000 more for a band of twenty pieces.
We don't have a chance to inaugurate q
democratic president often and I don't
think there will be any question about
getting the people necessary. With
Grafton, Devils Lake, Hillsboro. Grand
Forks, Fargo and the slope to pull from
it should take more than four coaches to
hold the crowd"
Bismarck has her share of democrats
and enthusiastic ones, too-and they
might go to swell the throng. Mr..
Mccormack should not leave them out
in the cold.

Dahl Congratulated,

Glendale Commercial: The CONNER
cial heartily congratulates Hon. @. M.
Dahl on his election to the office Of
secretary of state, the duties Of which
position he has largely attended to the
past two years as Secretary Flittie's
assistant. It is gratifying to know that
this important Office falls into such good
hands, having been administered the
past four years with such earnest fidelity
by Hon. John Flittie, the retiring score
tary. Out of the crash and clash Of
elements which %conspired to bury the
balance of the republican state ticket
emerges Mr.. Dahl with a handsome
plurality, owing, no doubt, to his I'M
mense personal popularity with all
classes of voters.

Heap Treat.


Representatlve-elect Thomas Halver-
son of the Grand Forks district, says the
Fargo Republican, is charged with hav-
ing given a man a drink of whisky in
the town of Lakeville on election day.
The complaining witnesses are L. J.
Lundby, Thomas HENDERSON and O..
Dock. Mr.. Halverson was given a
hearing in Judge DeVoy's court last
night. Five or six witnesses testified
for the prosecution to the effect that
Mr.. Halverson was at the polls in Lake
vile township on election day and
treated each of them to a drink from a
bottle of liquor he had with him. None
of the witnesses were quite sure whether
the liquor was whisky or brandy.
When the evidence for the prosecution
was all in, the attorney for the defense
asked that the case be dismissed, which
caused a lively contest between the
lawyers for about two hours. The court
denied the motion to dismiss, and took
the case under advisement to decide
whether 'treating" was giving away
liquor in the meaning of the statute.

The Josephine Ties I'm,

Yankton Press: The government
steamer Josephine, with the snag boat
Mandan in tow, tied up at Yankton
Wednesday night. The crafts we're
bound to Sioux City to tie up for the
winter, but the river was full of running
ice and further progress was dangerous.
Capt. Powell of Sioux City, engineer in
charge of Missouri river improvements,
came to Yankton last night and it was
decided to winter the boats here. This
morning the crew was paid off and an
effort was made to drop the boats down
the river a quarter of a mile to a point
where ways can be constructed. In the.
dropping down process the wind blew.
the boats onto a sandbar, where they
stuck the most of the day.

would be too prosaic. The father, as
was before stated, should rush down
town and past the Sheridan house, and
should run into a man on the sidewalk.
This man should be dressed in scanty
attire, and should be shivering. The
scantier his attire, the more effect the
story will have. His coat should be IN
~tatters, and the author would not harm
his chances any if he took a small piece
out of the seat-well, out of his trous-
ers anywhere. The father should scan
the stranger with eagle eye, and then
start back, dumbfounded. He should
then speak, in a husky voice, into which
the author may introduce as many tears
as he sees fit. Then they should con-
verse, thusly:
Father-My son.
Son-I have not tasted food for six
weeks.
Both should then faint with Joy.

The remainder must be left to the
imagination of the reader. It may be
readily seen that by introducing some
high-Hown sentences and stereotyped
phrases into the story it would become
quite readable. It is given thus far in
advance in order than an opportunity be
given the residents of Bismarck, who are
inclined to literary pursuits, a chance to
make up a good story for Christmas, and
make a small fortune out of some rich
eastern magazine.

GOvernor-Elect ShOrtridge.

Goose River Farmer: E. G. D. Short
ridge, ~governor-elect, Familiarity known
as the "old grey farmer of Bachelors.
grove" was born in West Virginia in
1880, but wa raised in Missouri, his
parents having moved to that common
wealth when the prospective governor
was quite young. He received a good
common school education and afterwards
graduated with honors at the Paris,
Missouri, academy. His life has been
expended upon a farm and all his SYM
pathies are those of a farmer who knows
by experience the grievances of his class
of people. He came to North Dakota
nearly sixteen years ago and his career
since coming here, as his neighbors
know, has been consistent with a life of
unbroken honest and answering devo-
ton to the better aspirations of life. He
is possessed of a conspicuously fair mind.
He can weigh facts at their true worth, a
trait that is a rare jewel among men; and
while always ready to concillate he is
yet firm and steadfast in adherence to
that which he belives to be right.
Many people through this part of the
state have seen Mr.. Shortridge, and
had opportunity to become more or less
acquainted with him. Those who
know him have nothing to fear from his
acts as governor of North Dakota. He
is conspicuously the choice of the people
rather than the choice of any political
party. He is a typical North Dakota
farmer, and in all respects as worthy a
man as can be found in the state to wear
the hcnors of governor.

board did not take the law into their
hands, but interpreting its provisions as
best they could, and aided by reason
they took action which will ensure a
court of law passing judgment on the
question at issue. If they had accepted
these returns as legal, then IN 1894 a
candidate who might not be honest
could act as Judge in SELF township, and
two candidates who might perchance
also be dishonest could act as clerks and
making returns to suit themselves insist
on getting them counted.
Again, two years hence these voters
might still be unable to read English
and require assistance, and MI. Streeter
might then be anxious for the success of
the republican party. If his belief hap
pened to be that "all is fair in love and
war;" he could with the aid of MI. Cells
fluent German tongue and the notched
sticks get our Russian democratic
brethren to vote the straight republican
ticket, and until it was too late they
would not know what they had done.
Mr.. Streeter gives you the opinion
of every honest republican as we'll as
democrat in the county. l cannot do so,
but I have heard many republicans
whom I would call honest, say that if
MI. Streeter had been as anxious for
the good of the republican party IN
November as he was in August, and if
he had used a little more of his time and
republican talents for its advancement,
the party of which he has long been a
prominent member would have had a
larger majority in Emmons county.
Thanking you in advance for the space
you have accorded to me, l beg to state
that I will not believe the headlines to
Mr.. Streeter's letter were of the TRIB-
UNE's originating. If, when Mr.. Streeter
headed his letter "Emmons Co. Frauds"
and signed it I'D. R. Streeter," he re-
ferred to himself and the, SELF town.

Settlers Seeking North Dakota Homes.
Probably no land Office in the state
compares with that at Bismarck in the
amount of business transacted during
the course of the year. The month of
November, just closed. has been a busy
n with land office officials, and lends
confirmation to the fact above stated.
There were filed during the month fifty
five final homestead proofs, and fifty
four homestead entries. AS each of these
filings involves about 16O acres of land
it is seen that settlers have secured
patents on $500 acres of Uncle Sans
domain, and that other settlers have
applied for 8,64O acres more. At the
present rate 1t will not be long until
North Dakota has a settler on every
quarter section.
