THE NOMINEES.

1t is usual just before election to
give a brief sketch of the candidates
nominated, SO here goes.
For clerk of the district court, O.
D. Purinton, is the nominee, having
received the nomination in the indie
pendent and republican conventions,
a compliment the old veteran appre-
ciates and one he has deservedly
earned. He is the only old soldier
on the ticket, and as he has no OPP
position he is sure Of election. He
has held the Office for the past two
terms, and the official court steno-
grapher informs us that he is one of
the best clerks in Judge Roses dis
trict. a statement we can re-afirm,
for he always attends to business
promptly
For the office of sheriff, the repub-
iican convention made very wise
and good selection in the person Of
Claus Jackson. He received the
almost unanimous nomination in the
county convention rendered with
no solicitation on his part, nor has
he made any extravagant promises
for Economy" or .sreform." He
has accepted the nomination and is
going to try and get elected, and
judging from, the way he is gaining
ground, he will give his opponent all
he wants. Mr.. Jackson is person
in every way qualified for this office.
He is man of sound judgment and
has had experience in this line. He
is a farmer and has never held a
county Office outside of constable.
We recommend the gentleman to the
voters of Griggs county for their sup
port
I. E. Warner is the lucky individ-,
ual that carried off the nomination
tor county treasurer, no opposition
being brought forward in the con-
venntion. Mr.. Warmers ability for
the transaction Of the business of
this important Office is unquestioned.
He is reliable, trustworthy, and
would make first-class official. Mr..
Warner has no pledges to make any
more than if elected he will faithfully
discharge the duties Of the Office ac-
cerding to law, and the best Of his
ability. Hell practical business
man and we see no reason why he
should not be elected to this Office.

The Grand Forks Independent
says that Congressman Johnson will
not poll over 10000 votes in the
state. Tommy has evidently got a

talking through his hat. Mr.. John
son is sure of a handsome majority
in the state and will get nice ma
jorlty in Griggs county, notwith-
standing the opinion Of the Indepen-
dent to the contrary.

David Bartlett received the nomi-

David Bartlett received the nomi-
nation for states attorney in both the
independent and republican conven-
tons, and as he has no opposition
he will undoubtedly ssget there" Mr..
Bartlett is man who believes in do
ing what he agrees to do, and we
have no hesitation in saying that he
will fill this office with credit to him
self and his constituents, and he will
do it tearlessly, too. He was for two
terms states attorney of Boulder,
Colorado, and after he had served
his terms he came to Griggs county,
where he has since practiced his pro-
fession. The taxpayers have made
an excellent choice for states attor-.
ney.
The next office on the list is that
of county Judge. This is one Of the
most important Offices in the gift Of
the taxpayers. 1t requires know
ledge of law and sound judgment is,
in great many matters, required by
the incumbent holding this office.
Will H. Carleton received the nomi-
nation, and it is nomination
worthily bestowed. Mr.. Carleton is
practical lawyer, and is jest the
right man for this place. He will
undoubtedly poll big vote.
Halvor Arestad, the present effic-
lent county auditor, was appointed
by the commissioners some few
months ago, aud received the indie
pendent nomination and was also en-
dorsed by the republicans, so that he
has no opposition. Mr., Arestad is a
painstaking, careful official, and de-
serves reelection, which he will
undoubtedly get. The tax payers
want to keep good official when
they have one, and in this case they
made no mistake.
Rollef Berg received the nomina-
tien for register Of deeds in both
conventions. Mr.. Berg :. is an oblig-
ing official and his office is conduct
ed in good shape. His election is
sure, and this is another case where
the voters realized mans worth,
and proposed to stick to him.

1t costs Carnegie $40 ton to man
ufacture this armor plate.
Carnegie and Phipps, his parner,
live in a royal castles in England.
Carnegie says he draws over mil
lion dollars year, as his share of pro-
fit out of the earnings of the Carnegie

SISTERSvILLE.
A Flourishing West Virginia oil city
voice.

There is a town in West Virginia
which rivals Western mining COM
munity in the zenith of its glory in
sudden acquisition of wealth and i'm
portance. A few months ago Sisters
vile, in Tyler county, on the Ohio riv-
er, was the rustiest, dullest-looking
place within 500 miles. To-day oil
wells are going down or are producing
gas and petroleum in almost every
town lot, no matter how small or here
tofore considered worthless. In front
yards, gardens, stables, pig and poul-
try yards, and on lawns, oil wells
squirt and flow great streams, while the
clank and clang of the drill and the
hiss of escaping steam deaden all other
sounds. The transformation scene
from nothing to wealth and comfort
reminds one strongly of streak-of-
luck discovery in gold-mining city of
the West.
But the citizens of Sistersville are
much more fortunate than miners in
general, for there are very few of them
to-day who are not independent from
rentals or their interests in the wells.
The monthly rentals run from $40 to
thousands of dollars per month, and it
is no usual thing to see man who a
few weeks ago scarcely knew where
his next meal was to come from walk
ing about with pockets bullying with
greenbacks and talking of thousands
much more indifferently than he once
talked of quarters. 1t looks odd to see
a round hole, sunk through the floor of
a dilapidated lean-to kitckhen, not
worth six bits, producing thousands of
dollars every month, and to know that
the tiny spot of waste ground but a
few days ago scarcely considered a
worthy site for pig-pen, is to-day
bringing in a better rental than four
story house. These are daily scenes
in the town of Sistersville. In fact, the
producing oil and gas wells have be-
come so numerous in the town that op-
orators now sinking wells are COMPEL
ed to give an indemnifying bond to Sc
cure property owners from destruction
in cases of fire and explosion. Outside
the town the territory of operations is
spreading for miles north, south, east
and west, and oil wells are going down
in every direction. AS an actual fact
in the history of such operations, ii
can be said that very few of the wells
are dry holes. These new fields bid
fair to prove one of the best, if not the
best of the oil-producing territories in
this country.

COUNTERFEIT NOTE I'm CIRcULA-
TION.

A counterfeit 50 note is in circula-
ton. The counterfeit is of the series
of 1886 United States treasury notes
and contains the name of Treasurer
Wyman, while the genuine notes are
signed by }. N. Huston. The engrav-
ing is considered excellent, with the
exception of the vignette of Hancock,
which has cross lines which do not
appear on the genuine notes. The
figure two and the surrounding lines
in the upper right-hand corner are
finely executed The back of the note,
an unusual case with counterfeit, has
received the same care as the face of
the note. The paper on which the
note is printed was evidently prepar-
ed for tie purpose and in it's compost
ton long fibres of cotton were used.
The colored particles of silk were
deity initiated with pen. The bank
officers say the note is the best coun-
terfeit which has fallen into their
hands.

by virtue Of their capacity for the de
feat and artful manipulation of their
fellows.
"Their influence upon the country
is corrupt and debasing, and the area
Of political venalty constantly enlarges
under it.
According to their views the whole
interests that any citizen has in NUM-
cipal, State or National Government is
measured by what he can make ou OF
it.
at is worse than idle to shut ON
eyes to the existence Of corrupt meth
DDS and practices in our politics. which
threaten to subvert our free institution.
"The people are often cheated at the
polls and legislation, and prizes which
should be the reward of honest merit
are too frequently bestowed upon the
cunning and interruptions rich. Real
freedom is not enjoyed by the people
unless the laws are enacted by their
honesty chosen representatives, and
their freedom Of action is as much i'm
paired when it is corrupted, influenced,
as if controlled by force.
''The man who accepts bride of
any sort places his conscience and
judgment in the vilest bondage. He
is no longer free. Argument is vast
ed on him. Considerations of the pub
lie veal or woe, greed and love of power
are greater than love of country. They
impair popular respect for law, which
is the only safeguard for life and pro-
perty; and it will be an evil day for the
nation when its preservation depends
upon their patriotism and courage.
"They may masquerade IN the guards
of righteousness and address the PEG.
pie in the language of patriotism, but
their virtues are assumed; they are
hyprocites, and assasins of liberty, and
would welcome dynasty rather than
shed their blood in defence of popular
government"
