ABOUT REPAIRING.
In thecourse Of time nearly every person

naturally, the wear and tear incident to use
renders some piece Of 1t unfit for service.
Why lay it aside and go to the EXPENSE Of

such an outlay expended in repairing would
render it as attractive and serviceabs as

many homes are there that have not at least
one clock with silent tongue because of

A Farm House Burned.

The large farm house of James Cralgh.
ton, near Spirltwood, was burned to the
ground Thursday last. Fire caught from
defective flue, it is supposed. The
children were at school, and Mr.. Creigh-
ton in jamestown at the time of the fire.
A Mr.. Sackrlder was in the house when
the fire caught, but could do nothing
to save the building. There
was only about 800 insurance.
The house was one of the largest and
best built III the eastern part of the
county. and was formerly owned by
Ward Bill. Mr.. Creighton, who is one
Of the successful farmers OF the county,
had purchased the place only about Il
year ago. He bad just put in a good
deal of family supplies. including years
flour, etc. The lcss falls quite heavily
upon him.

Women Are El1glble.

Editor of the Alert: For the informa-
tion of the "good constitutional lawyers"
referred to by the Minneapolis Journals
Bismarck correspondent of the 18th,
inst, it may be remarked that under the
constitutional provision of this state
women may vote and be eligible in case
of any school Office. The question as to
the eligibility Of the state superintendent
elect cannot be stated in the language
of common sense-a fact which the
correspondent referred to has demon
strated in saying thai the question is
whether the state superlntendency is a
school or state office. w. B. NJ.

BISHOP STANLEY.
He Declares the Blind Pig Should he
Abolished.

He Declares the Blind Pig should he
Abolished.
Bishop Stanley was visitor in James
town Friday and left for Valley City
last night. He will bless a new Catho-
lie church near that place today. The
bishop is feeling gratlfied at the progress
made by the St. Johne academy here
and the general prosperity OF the affairs
of the diocese. Speaking of the academy
he says: II am much gratified at the
attendance, and at the high standing
which the school has taken. 1t will
become the largest institution of the kind
in the state"
Speaking on another matter OF public
interest, the bishop said: "These detes.
table blind pigs ought to be abolished.
and the prohibition law Of the state re-
pealed. I am informed by wholesale
liquor dealers that more liquor is sold
IN this state than when license prevailed.
There are farmers who formerly bought
pint or quart and occasionally became
hilarious, but now they buy whiskey by
the gallon and keep full all the time.
There are blind pigs running all over
the state in the small towns as we'll as
the large ones."

A Quiet Wedding.

A quiet wedding was one of the incl

The ceremony was performed in
tho parlors of the hotel at two o'clock by
Rev. G. s., Baskerville of this city. The
contracting parties were Miss Rolfe.
sister OF Hon. E. s. Rolfe, formerly of
Minnewaukan, now of Minneapolis, and
H. Il. Shellenberger Of Minnewaukan.
Miss Rolfe was attended by her cousin,
Mrs. Anna Il. Brigham of Minneapolis.

mean an increased number Of employees
to reside here. The growth OF local bust.
ness in the state has been very noticeable
and the fact that several hundred cars
of produce from farmers along the limo
in this state, have been shipped out this
fall makes the company feel that North
Dakota ls beginning to show traffic like
IN an old settled country. These farm
products consists of sheep, hogs, poul-
try, vegetables, etc. OF course the grain
freight ls not included. The business
along the jamestown & Northern las
been extremely good this fall, and this
line is proving one Of the best feeders

HIS NAME IS WOODRUFF.
The "Turner" Boy Turns Out
to be Travelling Under an
Assumed Name.
His Parents Expected Here
Today to Reclaim the
Runaway.
Bishop Stanley Says the
Blind Pigs Should be
Abolished.

Frank Montgomery received telegram
stating that the parents OF young
Harry Woodruff, who is in the hospital
with bullet in his chest. will be here
today. The lad has persistently re-
fused to give his real name, but by means
of a telegram received yesterday, it was
discovered to be Woodruff and not Tur-
ner as he has stated. Last Sunday. when
it was thought that the boy would not
long survive, he was asked it he was pre-
pared to die, to which he replled yes. but
refused to tell whether he bad any pa
rents living or what bis right name was.
For some strange reason he has baffied
all atten pts to discover his identity and
would doubtless have died rather than
tell his name. The receipt of the dis
patch referred to cleared up the mys-
terry connected with the lads parentage
bat nothing yet has developed to explain
how he came to be shot. The probabili-
ties are that the lad left home, like many
others, fred with the resolve to do some
romantic or desperate deed in the far
west, after the manner OF cowboys, or
Indians, and possibly he became lnfatu-
ated with the life of adventure and hair
breadth escapes recorded IN the 5'cent
novel of the day. At any rate he is pay
ing the penalty of his boylsh rashness,
and it is very doubtful if he RECEIVERS.
The revolver which he carried, and which
he used to Shoot at jack rabbits Is the
weapon which has accidentally, no donbt,
inflicted the wound that will
probably end the lads life.
His fathers name is Daniel Woodruff,
and hls parents reside in St. Johnsburg,
VT. and are wealthy, prominent people,
Why the boy left home is another curl
0us feature of the case. Everything
possible is being done for the sufferer by
nurses and physicians. The bullet has
not been probed for as yet, the physicians
fearing the result. It is stated that the
lad sustained hemorrbage OF the
wound for twenty ono hours recently.
HE nerve is certainly remarkable as well
as bis reticence to reveal anything con.
cerning himself or the particulars Of
the shooting.

Dakota Not to Blame.

Aberdeen Star Republic: The falling
of In the vote in this county, and indeed
all through the valley. shows a dis
heartening state of affairs for new
country. We have millions of acres of
unoccupied land and yet our farming
population has actually decreased. The
settlers have been driven out and the
mortgage company takes their place.
The Goths and Vapdals of Shilock and
the land epeculator have swooped down
upon us and the crude civilization of the
pioneer Is disappearing before them. We
can drive out from Aberdeen on a
straight line in several directions, and
drive for hours and see nothing but
deserted homes. Every quarter section
bears evidence of occupation, but the
prairie grass grows rank over the break
ing and the wind means oismally
| through the deserted claim shanlies. 1t
is time our business men inquired why
this Is so. Ii 1t is the fault OF the coun-
try then We may as we'll all move out.
We deny, however, that the country IS

ness man and in single day drive him
to hundred deserted farms, every one of
which has yielded not less than fifteen
bushels of wheat per acre for all the time
it was cultivated. This is three bushels
more than the average for the United
States. 1t is low prices, not small crops
that drive our people off their farms. We
hope some remedy may be found. Un-
less the price of wheat greatly improves
before seeding there are hundreds Of
farms in Brown county that this year
produced twenty bushels or more of
wheat to the acre, that will not be plowed
at all next year. These are matters
which every business man should seri-
ously consider. The prosperity of this
western country depends entirely upon
the property OF the farmers. aud we be-
lieve that in the r-"edi IS offered by the
peoples party will be found the true so
luton Of the present difficulties. But
fifty cent wheat means beggary for farm
ers and ruin for our towns and cities.

When the Count is Made.

Some question has BEEN raised in North
Dakota as to the dates for csnvassinR the
vote of the state and for the meeting OF
the presidential electors. Many people
have been perplexed by the assertion
that, through some error, the presiden-
tiai electors would have to meet before
the date set for the official canvass of the
vote. This is a mistake, Of course. The
state canvassing board is required by law
to meet on the third Tuesday Of Decem-
her after q general election. The ''elec-
toral count" act. passed by the Forty
ninth congress, directs that the presi-
Dental electors shall meet and give their
votes on the second Monday in January
next following the election. It aleo fixes
the time when congress shall be in ses.
sion to count the ballots as the second
Wednesday in February succeeding the
meeting OF the electors. The date for
meeting Of the presidential electors ia
uniform in all the states.
