Mis5 India Harrington, who has been
teaeyer q the 9ashburn. school for the
.psst six months s departed fey her home at
Springer, Indiana, last Tuesday. Miss
Harrington is lady of excellent attain
ments, far surprising the majority of
those engaged in the pedagogical profess
sion. As teacher she gave general salts
faction to the patrons of the schools, and
made many warm personal friends among
those who became best acquainted with
her. Her absence from the social circles
of .Wsshburn will be greatly regretted by
all who have felt the inspiration of her
mild, lively nature, but each and every one
of us sends forth witlriher our best wishes
for her future success and happiness.
/ Quite pleasing and unique, affair came
off at the Ft. Stevenson Indian school last
Saturday afternoon, August 9th, it being
the marriage of Ernest Hopkins and Miss
Ida Lewis in the presence, of all the pupils,
employees, and not few invited guests,
the Rev. G. L. Hall, missionary at Fort
Berthold, officiating. Ernest Hopkins was
educated at the Santee Indian school, and
it will be remembered by many that he
was employed in this Office as type-setter
about year. Ida Lewis was one of the
in 1888. where she has remained and re-
ceived her education up to the present
time. A limited number of invitations
were sent ont. and few outside parties
were present and witnessed the ceremony,
which took place in the chapel of the in
,,stitution. fine ~ppes wass served, after
which the bride and groom wended their
way to their future home above Ft. Berth
old. 1t was very enjoyable affair. The
bride and groom were the, recipients of
many valuable presents from, their numer-
GUS friends.

Conkling. N. D., Aug. 49,.
Conkling is still on the boom. Now do
not make q mistake and call it "bum." A
splendid rain last week followed by cooler
weather, with prospects of frost in October.
The, rain came little late for the majority
of ''stuff," still it will add to our already
assured immense crop of corn and perhaps
add a patch or two to the almost defunct
potato crop. One of the greatest benfits
we derived from the heavy showers, was
the chance it gave our farmers to stop to
look around and take stock of what they
had done in the thirty days past. All
seemed we'll satisfied with the result.
Corn is already too hard for table use,
and will SOON be out OF. the reach of any
kind of freeze. The only trouble is, in
the eventof very late frost, it is liable to
become SO hard that hog cannot .eat it.
Joe Burgum has pulled his thresher up
country, to John j. Robinsoli's farm II
will in all probability be three weeks before
its hum will disturb the prairie chickens
at Conkling. All the same, farmers will
have plenty to do, for help is scarce. The
fact is, there is nothing Of the kind here,
barring the kind known as 'help them
selves.". /. And if any men on earth can do
this more successfully than the Conkling
farmers. they. are the kind to move west.
We understand that the whooping cough
has struck Conkling. It came by way of
Weller, where it stopped the school. Oliver
Heath is barking away like he had some-
thing treed; all the same he continues to
build wheat stacks as though whooping
cough was an every day affair
The weather prophets of Conkling have
had no meeting since July 4th., therefore
We can form no idea of what the weather
viii be for the next 80 days. "CLuBs."

progress. They forget that no out
side influence has had anything to do
with the action Of Kansas, and they
will learn in due time that it will not
in the future.
There is another thing it may be
well to remember, though Of course
republican politicians and journalists
will not admit it, and that is, that
state and national politics involve two
separate and distinct issues in the
south. The members Of the alliance
in nearly all of the southern states
have chosen to do their work in state
politics within the lines of the demo-
cratic party, and where they have de-
parted from this policy state and local
issues have exercised an influence
that will not be felt in the national
campaign. The great mass of the
southern people are in favor of free
silver, and they know that this is as
hopeless under Cleveland as under
Harrison. It is inconceivable how
any man who fsvors free silver can
support either the candidate Of the
republican or the democratic party.
However this may be, Kansas did
not ask any other state what she
should do before taking the initiatory
step in this movement, and she will
not be influenced now in respect to
her present policy. She never takes
a step backward. She will continue
in the future as in the past, to be the
leader and the guiding star in the
impending revolution.

THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

Great stress is being placed upon
the result Of the elections in the south
ern states by our republican friends,
as an argument for the return Of
former republicans TO the support Of
the stand-up crowd in Kansas. They
say the election Of Weaver is now
hopeless, and vote for him in Kan
sas is only a vote for Cleveland. In
making this kind Of a drive there are
several things they forget. They
forget that Kansas took the first step
in this independent movement, and
that she did not wait to inquire
whether any other state was going to
follow her lead or not. They forget
that this step was taken after due de-
liberation, and in consequence Of
evils which have been imposed upon
the people by legislation for which
the republican party is responsible.
They forget that it is not id accord
with the established custom Of Kan
sans TO turn backward after having
taken an important step in the line OF

Now comes the sad intelligence
that our own Comrsde Ingalls, is to
be sent, or taken out of the state; that
he has been bssely and mercenarily
swspped off to the national committee
for one Mckinley, who is to come
here and extol the benefits of the tar
if, while our extinguished comrade
goes to New Jersey or some other
foreign land where Populists are
scarce, there to skin democrats and
spit vitriolic sarcasm to his hearts
content, with no one to molest, etc.
We do not get this information from
an official source, and therefore can
not vouch for it's correctness; bat the
mere rumor is q cruel, distressing
blow at our home industries. He has
lately announced that he does not in
tend to break into the senatorial
squsbble-not now, and he has sd-
mitted that there are some decent
democrats mot many, but some. he
has also said that he will stand by his
'91 speech, in which his calamity talk
was only limited by the time allotted
to him. And so we had thought to
have Ingalls, with us during the brief
campaign, and had hoped that we
might be able to divert his mind from
the subject Of southern outrages long
enough to train his trenchant tongue
on Kansas outrages and other evils OF
our own dear state. But if fthe rumor
is true, our hopes are all bsnished
and we are disconsolate. Please, Mr..
Simpson, don't send him away.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The November election is now near
at hand. AS pointed out in the ADvo-
GATE some time ago, it is Of the ut
most Importance that trusty men
shall witness the ballot and the count
in every polling precinct in the state,
and make a record of the result at the
time, which may be afterwards avail
able in case Of necessity. It is inn
portsnt, also, that this result be tele-
graphed to the chairman Of our state
central committee as soon as it is as
certained. County and township COM
mitteees should see that arrange
ments are made to insure that these
things shall be done promptly and
accurately. The reform press Of the
entire state should call the attention
Of the people and of committees to
this matter, and urge its importance.
Every one is anxious to know the re-
suit Of the election as soon as possi-
bic. This can only be insured by the
prompt performance of this duty by
good men in all parts Of the state.
Two years ago kilograms we're re-
ceived by the chairman Of the state
central committee inquiring about the
result Of the election from precincts
and counties that had failed to make
returns from their own localities. How
did the parties sending those tele-
grams expect the chairman to get the
information they were SO anxious to
receiVeG
Do not let this matter be neglected.
Make all necessary arrangements In
good season, and see that this duty is
entrusted to reliable men who are
sufficiently interested to see that it is
we'll done.

tlon Of the people to this subiect9

THE "stslwarts" were the worst
ratified crowd that ever assembled in
convention. Being confronted with
a resolution to nominate astate ticket,
as the honest democrats naturally
wanted to do, the rsilroad-republican
leaders kicked and squirmed on the
grounds that it was not a convention
but a conference, and therefore had
no right to nominate. Then they
proceeded to elect state committee,
just as conventions do. No wonder

ANOTHER POLITICAL TRICK MIS-
lARRIEa,

The arrest Of Chairman Breiden.
thal by Charlie johnson for political
effect, under pretenss that Mr.. Breid'
enthal was violating the banking laws
Of the state, has proven another
boomerang to the stsnd.up crowd.
Mr.. Breidenthal disappointed the
crowd in the first place by the prompt
ness Of his demand for immediate
trial. The plan and expectation was
TO have the case 90 over to the next
term of court, which would not sit
until after election. Under this ar
rangement Mr.. Breidenthsl could be
pointed to as criminal during the
remainder of the campaign. Many
republican papers went 80 far as to
predict that the Peoples party would
have to remove him and put some
other man in his place. Mr.. Breid-
enthal took the wind out Of them by
his readiness for trial and his demand
for an immediate hearing.
When the case came up in court
the defense demurred to the COM
plant. Judge Humphrey, in over
ruling the demurrer, indicated clearly
what his decision would be; but the
prosecution were so very anxious to
show some grounds for the arrest of
Mr.. Breidenthsl that they proceeded
with the trial, trying in every way
possible to produce evidence to sus-
tain the charge. Nearly two days
were consumed after it was apparent
that there had been no violation OF
the law. When Mr.. Breidenthsl took
the stand and replied 70 every ques-
ten in a clear and comprehensive
manner, with no attempt to cover up
a single transaction that might be
construed into a violation Of the
banking law, the prosecution, IN the
languageo Of Judge Humphrey, ''threw
up the SPONGE" and were willing that
the case be dismissed. To this Mr..
Breidenthaps attorneys objected, and
insisted upon a verdict Of scquittal,
which by direction Of the court was
rendered.
The g. -o,,p. is trying to make it sp-
pear that there was no politics in the
case, but all the evidence and every
circumstance connected with the
transaction proves the contrary.
