The Election in the Second District.

The Election in the Second District.
The election on Tuesday for Commits
missioner in the Second district, passed
of very quietly. Candidates we're slow
in materalizing but as the day of decision
approached two candidates were placed
before the people of the district to be
voted for, viz: j. r. Mann the present
incumbent, whose friends desired to re-
ward him for his honest and conscien-
tious discharge of his duties as county
commissioner during his term just about
to close by an unsought reelection. The
friends of Judge Lacey brought him
forward with an equally high recommend
for character both as private citizen
and public official, for he, two, has been
honored and and not found wanting, beng
one of the best county judges Mclean
County ever had.
The vote stoood J. R. Mann a.; Judge
Lacey, IL.

"A private letter from Manager Dickey
says: 'sWe have awards on wheat,

saying that it went twenty bushels to

diploma merely means certificate that
a certain party had sample of grain on
exhibition in the Agricultural building.
On the other hand the medals are only
intended to show superior excellence
When it comes to matter of medals I
think we will get very nearly as many as
Minnesota and South Dakota on the
lines which we had entered. Think
Bismarck is sure Of two medals and pos
sibly four in the Agricultural building,

Edgeley Seminal: There must have
been a presiding officer and secretary
at the late Methodist Conference in their
business meetings, and if so where is the
secretary's report of business done. reso-
lutions passed, etc. Perhaps the emin-
ent divines think the Sentenel too carnal
for their notice, and we wonder if that is
the way Christ would have done, and if
this is not one of the reasons "why We

ing souls to Christ ?"

Edgeley Seminal: The Seminal has
neglected to notice the advent of Hon.
John Satterlund, of Washburn, McLea
County, as editor and proprietor of the
Washburn Leader-and to congratulate
him on such ascendency. The issue of
the Leader containing the valedictory of
the retiring editor and the salutatory of

From Burnt Creek.


BURNT CREEK, N. D., Nov. 4th, 1898.
EDITOR LEADER.-Thinking some in
formation from this section of Burleigh
county might interest many of your read
ers. I will say that while the dry spells of
the growing season, shortened the crop
somewhat, we have little reason to COM
plain taking everything into considera-
tiOn.
The wheat yield in this neighborhood
from to rs bushels per acre, with an all
round average of about ~ bushels per
acre. Oats averaged about 15 bushels.
Rev.J. A. Deisen of sverdrup, Mclean
County, held religious services at the
house of Sather Brothers. on October
9Oth, but owing to the very short notice
only eleven persons we're present.
What has become of all the Leaders
Mclean County correspondents We
would like to hear from them again. O. 8.
Repeal Goes.
The editor of this paper did not be-
lieve that unconditional repeal of the
silver purchase Law would ever pass the
senate.
But it did all the same the editor was
a poor prophet,
Six democratic senators who two years
ago voted for free coinage of silver this
week voted against any recognition what.
ever of the white metal.
This shows the persuasive power of
President Cleveland.
He is the dispenser of offices and the
senators are placed between tho devil and
the deep sea-between Grover and their
hungry and thirsty constituents who want
the offices.
Grover announced No unconditional
repeal, no offices and the democratic SEN
others turned their backs on their life long
convictions and voted as the President
dictated.
All this goes to show that the democrat
ic senators are only poor weak mortals
after all. -
It also shows that this country is run by
one man who is welding more absolute
power than any European monarch.
He has nullified acts of Congress and
over.ridden decision of the Supreme
Court in the Chinese matter and has co
creed the Congress of the United States
into enacting law to suit the gold bugs
of Wall Street and London.
On our Eve cent nickles is the motto:
"In God We Trust" That seems to be
about all that is left for the American
people to do. Lot us hope that Cleveland
will not change this inscription by substi.
tut,ng his name for that of the Deity.

Was George Adams Murdered
Andrew Fahlgren, of Conkling, who re-
turned Thursday from Bismarck, says
Notwithstanding the report of the coron-
er's jury in the ADKINS and Bragg case,
most people down the road believe that
Adams, at least was murdered. It will be
remembered that it was the conclusion of
as high an authority as DR.. Whitcomb, the
coroner of st. Paul, Mlnn., and skillful
physician aud surgeon, believed after
looking over the ground that there was
foul play somewhere. He had met them
drinking with third man on the road
near the same place the evening before
and was among the first who investigated
the place where the bodies we're found
the next morning. The upturning of the
wagon is supposed to have killed them;
yet the righted bed box contained a pool
of human blood, showed evidence of q
previous struggle to the ovcrturning.-
Then the finding Of no money at all in
Adams pocket, the actions of the two
mysterious hunters the next morning, and
other unaccountable things in connection
Herewith, keep people thinking that the
whole truth is not yet out.

The Bismarck Tribune says one of the
sad results of Lloyds' bank failure is to
be seen in the case of section fOrman Yet
teraahl of Tappan, whose mind has be-
come unbalanced as result of having
lost the savings of four years in the de-
funct institution. From the time of the
failure, Yetterdahl has been a changed
man, and several days ago he disappeared
altogether from his home. After search
ing high and low for him for three days,
he was found Thursday, setting in q
slough, one of his shoes off, and his foot
pretty badly frozen. His mania is that
some one is trying to kill him.
Yetterdahl was accounted one of the
best foreman along the line of the road,
and his misfortune is sad. He will be
taken to the asylum at jamestown for q
month or SO, and an effort made to restore
his sanity;

Success with Corn.

- Success With Cora. .--.---.
Edgeley Mail /: The more our farmers
experiment with raising corn the better
success they have, and the more evident it
becomes that corn is about as
safe a crop as any we have, for it can
stand greater heat and drouth than wheat.
Z. A. Ueland put in about eight acres of
corn on breaking, and paid no attention
to it after seeding, and vet got yield of
between Is to 80 bushels to the acre.
Andrew Houfstetter had a single acre of
corn that he had cultivated, and it ma
tured so bushels of splendid corn. It is
very evident that corn is becoming one of
the crops that it is safe to diversity with.
