NO OFFICE SEEKER NEED APPLY.


To the Edit " Of THE ADVOCATE.
Would 1t not be we'll for you or some
one else to call attention, just at this
iuncture, to the evils of Office seeking
Ls 1t not now more than ever manifest
that the betrayal Of the principles of the
Ocala platform In almost or quite every In
stance has been the work of office seekersS
The time has now come when scheming
politicians will block the gates Of the
young giant party, protesting great love
therefor, and having obtained place,
will straightWay sell US out to the highest
bidder.
/ doubt if among all the traitors to our
cause now In Congress from the south II
can be claimed for one that he was not
an Office seeker. He who really loves the
cause OF economic reform for its own
sake; for the good It will bring 70 the
outraged millions Of our land, Is always
willing for his neighbors, who better un-
derstand his qualifications than he him
self can possibly do, to call Aim to serce
them, rather than to thrust himself upon
their sufrsges. / have long been I'M
pressed with the idea that our people
shall make lta rule TO sit down hard upon
Office seekers, and have 1t plainly under
stood that where a public servant 10
wanted the people have sense enough to
call for the man or woman they want.
II farmer, having hired a man to serve
him, find the servant incapable or un-
faithful, he very promptly and properly
will discharge him. And right here let
me say that we, as reformers must in the
most emphatic manner teach every
traitor to his pledges that his treason will
cost him his political llfe Mark my
prediction now. At st. Louis the most
dlreful work will be attempted by the
money power through this very class of
vampires. W. M. GooDNER.

hence we have the crowded cities anC

must go back to first principles and begir
over again. We must live ON small
pieces Of the earth. and not want 1t all
we must help each other by cO-opera
tion. We are our "brotheE's keeper" In
more than one sense. In very old book
we read something about two brothers
one was q stockman, and the other was q
farmer. They quarrslled about their
relative interests and rival properties
the farmer, who, it is presumed, was the
stronger by reason of his great manual
labor, rose up and beat his brothers
brains out with the handle Of his hoe
and when called to account for Il the
murderer sneerlngly asked, "If It was
expected that he should be his brothers
keepeFf" It is fair TO presume that had
they been working In Co operation the

They were rivallng and competing with

Gains motto In business was, "The sur
Viyal Of the tlttest, and the devil take the

business world to-day, and the only way
to stop 1t is to lnaugurate a reform that
shall brain the head of the great ana
conda Of greed and selHshnesS that crept
into the first garden.
Concerning all the details Of co-opera-

from the boomers In time as they are
getting the whole earth now.
There are thousands Of good families
in all parts Of the country that are only
living from "hand to mouth" They are
working for corporations that are absorb

not speak as they pass by and Huber
has Il part of Sweet street fenced IN for

it is all spite work; no one would

that his health demands an easier ap-
polntmeht, and rs there is no outside
charge connected with the appointment
referred to. Mr.. Beer believes he is do
ing that which will conduce to restored
health in accepting. Mr.. Beer will leave

If there was thorough system and Or
ganization about ia concert of action
so that the whole county would be
protected, it might be of some value.
There are so many vacant townships and
sc much ~unoccupied railroad land in
Burligh county it is difficult to make the
township system of buring firebreaks
effective. 1t is possible, however, for
some sections, where the settlement is
complete to obtain great benefit from a

Grand Fork Plaindealer: Professor
tombstone, the mind reader, this after
oon gave an exhibition of his wonder
full power, which was witnessed by sew
eral hundred citizens. A committee of
citizens arranged that NJ. A. Walsh
should make a pretended attack Oh C..
E. Rand and then hide the weapon. This
was done and the professor after telling
what had been done rushed blmdfolded
through the street and found both Mr..
Rand and the knife. He was completely
exhausted after performing the feat and
the citizens who attempted to follow HIM
in his mad rush in the search were also
exhausted.
There is a we'll founded rumor that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road
has decided to extend it's Eureka branch
to Bismarck this season. It will be re-
membered that the Milwaukee people
objected very seriously to the granting
of the right to the 500 road to cross it's
land adjoining Bismarck, now being held
for terminal facilities, and paralleling the
Northern Pacific into Bismarck. It is
rumored that the Milwaukee people in
tend to steal a march on the 500 and
build in this season. If so an attempt
will probably be made to tear up the 500
grade into the city and obtain of the
citizens similar depot and yard grounds
as was originally pledged to the 500.

No Less Than Five Physicians Con.
suited. Their Combined Wisdom
Followed Without Benefit.

I am ~eixty:six years old. In August, 1889, was
troubled with the peculiar skin disease to which
people of my age are subject, known among medi-
the ankles. 1t rapidly extended over the lower
extremities until my legs were nearly one raw sore;
from legs the trouble extended across the hips,
legs and arms greatly swollen with an itching,
burning pain, without cessation. Although the
best medical advice attainable was employed, no
less than five physicians of the place being con.
suited and the prescriptions being the. result Of
their combined wisdom, the disease, though ap-
parently checked, would recur in a few days as
bad as ever; during its progress my weight fell
ment began the use of CUrIcURA, following the
simple and plain instructions given with the RENE
DIES, and In four weeks found myself we'll, with
skin soft and natural In color, the itching and
pain entirely relieved. w. r. MEAD,

Crumbs From Conger.

Everyone is busy seeding.
The ground never was in better shape
for producing a big crop than it is this
spring.
Last week all hands we're busy thresh-
ing, several of the n%eighborlng farmers
not having gotten their grain threshed
last fall on account of the scarcity of
threshing machines and crews The
grain has stood the winter we'll, some of
it, when threshed, being as sound and
nice as the best of that threshed in the
fall. Richards Il Danielson did the
threshing, doing excellent work. The
yield was astonishing.
Olaf Peterson raised thirty-seven
bushels of wheat to the acre on part of
his land, having gotten 225 bushels from
six acres; and when the farmer threshes
that amount in the spring after birds,
mice and gophers have fed from the
stacks all winter, it is a surprising
yield. Note this, ye enterprising, in
dustrious people, who are seeking loca-
tons, and note further, that there Is an
abundance of good farming land in this
neighborhood, Crofte township contain
ing some the finest as yet untaken, laud
in Burleigh county.
1t is strikingly queer that in Ecklund
township almost every acre of govern
ment land has been taken, while in
Crofte township, six miles nearer Bis
marck and the wheat market, some of
the finest and most fertile lands in the
county are. as yet, ~unoccupied.
