The North Dakota Capital evidently
squarely on the head when it says "The
Capital does not favor the nomina-
ton of a newspaper man nor his ex-
clusion from the ticket because he is a
newspaper man. That fact should cut no
figure either for or against a candidate
We are not in favor of drawing the line of
class distinction in this or any other res
pect. But we do say that there is not a
class of men in the state or nation who do
SO much for the success of the party
ticket as the newspaper men and none SO
poorly remunerated or appreciated. They
labor necessarily from the very beginning
of the campaign until it closes, and no
paper so poorly edited nor so inslgnif-
cant that it does not have infiuence-un-
less it be one of the mugwump order that
is ION the market" to sell its influence to
the candidate who will pay the PRICE
What we think the newspapers in the
state ought to do, and carry it out in their
respective counties as we'll as in the state
campaign, is to resolve not to support
amy candidate who, after an election, has
given out the patronage Of his Office to the
opposition press presumtively to gain per.
sonal favor to the neglect Of the papers
or paper that supported the party which
carried him through to election, and with
the idea thatthe party papers will support
HIM anyhow. Such q man is unworthy o.
the consideration Of q party convention
and the sooner he is laid or the shelf the
better for the party whose favors he ask
md thus abuses. Such a man is a. politi.

M1Nor, March 6.-Great excitement
has been causedin Williams county by the
barbarous act of a half-breed living five
miles north of White-E Earth, a small
station on the Great Northern, about sixty
miles west of Minot. The half breed, Joe
Goodhue, has been living there for several
years with a half breed woman, whom he
married at Williston eleven years ugo. He
had become jealous of his wife and beat
her numerically. About ten days ago she
died from the effects. The savage placed
her body on a sled and hauled it around
from house to house, and had the whole
country inundated. He Was last heard of
yesterday about twelve miles north OF
Stanley. He is described as a large, power
full built man. weighing upward of $50
pounds. They have three children. aged 3.
s and 8. The Indian has a bad record, as,
it is said, he killed q M i'll Canada
fourteen years ago, for which he was con-
victed and sentenced to life imprisonment,
but made his escape after serving two
Years of his sentence. Word was sent here
yesterday for the coroner to see what
should be done.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN co.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-07-07

Many are the stories told of the great
reverence in which the Scotch people
hold the Sabbath Their methods Of
showing their reverence, however, are
sometimes SO remarkable as to draw n
smile from Others who may neyerthe-
less be reasonably strict Observers Of the
day of rest. "
A minister of the kirk told an Amer
lean clergyman who was travelling i'll
Scotland that on one occasion he passed
Sunday in a little country inn, and as
the tiny parlor of the house was exceed
ingly close and stuffy and the day was
warm he started to open one of the
windows.
"What are ye ABBOTT, MANI" inquired
the landlady, with much severity, enter
ing the room just in time to prevent the
carrying cut of the minister's design.
He meekly explained that he had
thought it would be pleasant to have a
little fresh air.
"Eh, mont" said the landlady, with
additional emphasis and severity, I'VE
can haze no fresh air in this house on the
Sawbeth. Six days are enow for that,

Proving His Point.

The late Governor Throckmorton of
Texas was once engaged i'll the defense
of a man accused of murder. The evil
dence against his client was too strong
to be overcome by any plea except that
of self defense, but the man killed was
in his shirt sleeves at the time, and no
one had seen him with weapon ex-
posed. Mr. ThroclSmorton at the proper
juncture of affairs suddenly pulled off
his coat and waistcoat, and turning
around so that the jury could see every
side of him inquired whether, in their
Judgment, he was armed or not. The
answer in the negative was unanimous.
With knowing smile, Mr. Throckmor-
ton proceeded to draw from under his
left arm one pistol, another from under
his right, one from each of his boots,
and, finally, huge bowie knife from
under his shirt at the back of his peck.
AS he laid the weapons in a row on the
table he said, you sec, gentlemen, al
though in my shirt sleeves, it was not
safe to consider me unarmed. The
counsel for the prosecution knew from
that moment that their case was gone.

He was poor rs far as having earthly
possessions was concerned though he
had some salary, and the girl was worse
off because she had no salary.
Yet he loved her.
Love is roaring lion going about
seeking whom it may dovour.
The girl loved him also, but was
tempered by Judgment and the cost of
house rent, clothes, social demands and
that sort.
AS previously mentioned, he loved
her, and in time it came to pass that he
proposed to her.
But, dear George, " she urged in tho
negative, you only have 81, 200 year "
This argument rather surprised him,
for he had an idea that 81, 200 a year
was not to be sneezed at.
