farmers profits On his wheat. We Won
der it it ever occurred to the mind of the
Press editor that farmer could raise
wheat without family. It's no more
necessary that man should have
family to raise wheat than for man to
have family to edit paper. Suppose
the profits Of the Pioneer Press were
based Oh comparative cost OF supporting
the editors family in the 7O's and now.
Well, perhaps it is, else why this remark
able cut in subscription price. Here,
again. the Press shows it's undying SO
licitude for the welfare of the farmer.
The daily and Sunday editions that
are taken by those best able to pay re-
duced talf in price, while the Weekly,
the only edition the farmers take, remain
at the old rate, one year for the value of
two bushels of wheat, yet in the 7Oe one
bushel would have paid for it. ibis is
perhaps meant in spirit that "Who
the Lord loveth he chastiseth," and un-
doubtedly 1t is expected that farmers
will turn the other cheek also"

Receiver johnson returned from a
hort trip to Washington, Saturday, where
he was called on important business.
lie says be met Senator Roach there and
learned that it was the intention of the
president to appoint Andrew Blewett to
the surveyor generals office in a short
time.
Mr.. Johnson said he saw the Coxev
gathering IN the street in front of the
capitol building and that the action of
the police in using clubs was unnecessary
and hasty. and condemned by the people
who excused it only on the ground of
the policemen loslngsstheir heads in
frantic effort to arrest Brown Congress
has been thoroughly scared and the lob
b1es and entrances to the senate and

Illinois politicians are all stirred up
over tne sult Dy the republicans to have
the last democratic gerrymander of the
state set aside as unconstitutional While
a member Of the legislature Mr. johnson
protested egainet this scheme and pre-
dicted the very result that is likely to
follow the bringing of the suit. The dis
tricts made by the apportionment were
clearly unequal and not of contiguous
territory, as required by the constitution.
As to his resignlng the Lloyd receiver
ship and returning to the state to again
run for the Legislature, he says that rs
only matter discussed by his friends,
who consider that he has sure thing
for reelection if he will accept and that
the chances point to his very probable
election as speaker of the house in that
event.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
4 Popular Northern Pacific Brake.
man Instantly Killed.

man Instantly Killed.
Brakeman Charles Pomeroy Of Fargo,
was instantly killed in the yards Sat-
urday morning, shortly after midnight.
Freight tram No. 55, while coming
down "the hill," just east OF the city,
broke in two and the rear section, con-
slsting of the caboose and couple of
coal cars and box car crashed into the
front section Of the train, which had
been stopped near the Monarch elevator,
plllng several cars in a heap on the
tracks. Pomeroy, who had started to
set the hand brakes on the cars, was
thrown under the caboose and almost
instantly killed, while Conductor Bailey,
who had just emerged from the caboose
with his way bills in his hand, was vio-
lently thrown against the caboose ladder,
but not seriously hurt.
Assistance was secured and the ca
boose raised to admit of the removal OF
the body of Pomeroy, which lay across
the rail and under the rear trucks. He
was heard to give but one groan after
the collision and death must have been
almost instan taneous.
The remains were removed to Under
taker Halsteads parlors, prepared for
burial and at 5:l5 a. IN. sent back
to Fargo on special IN charge of Con
ductor G. E. Williams and three of the
brother employees of the deceased. The
train arrived al Fargo at $40. Soon
after the accident the news Of the affair
was wired to Fargo and broken to his
bereaved mother, and his brothers and
sisters, of which there are four Or five.
Charles Pomeroy was popular, sober,
industrious and trusted employe of the
Northern Pacific, having been on the
compapy's pay rolls for five years past.
He was the main support of his mother
and of his brothers and sisters. He was
a member Of one or two railway orders
and Is said to have carried about 81 200
insurance. He was unmarried.
by eleven O'Clock Saturday morning all
signs OF the wreck had been removed.
The Pacific mail was delayed above five
minutes only by the wreck.
The coroner's inquest, which was held
at once, brought in verdict of death
from an unavoidable accident. Attached
to the rear of the tram were number OF
cars unequipped with air and these cars,
comfortable by hand breaks only, made
up the section which broke loose when
coming down the hill. Con. Bailey stated
that the train was all together while
coming around the big curve, part way
down the hill. When and where the
train broke IN two he was unable to state
as no jar or jolt was felt. When the COL
lision occurred the crash was heard for a
considerable distance and many people
awakened from their sleep by the noise,

ALL DOUBT SETTLED.
The Surveyor.Generalship Goes to
Andrew Blewett.

The Surveyor.Generalship Goes TO
Andrew Blewett.
The confirmation of the numerous re-
ports that Andrew BIewett was to be
appointed surveyor general of the state
came Monday in the shape of
welcome dispatch from Senator Roach,
informing Mr.. Blewett that his name
had been sent to the senate by the presi-
dent. Mr.. Blewett is absent in South
Dakota, SO that the personal congratula-
tions that would have been rendered
him had to be postponed. He was wired
Fluctuations, however, and received a
number of congratulatory messages from
leaders in democratic state politics and
personal friends. The boys here are
also considering the plan of giving him
a brisk welcome on his return.
From a political as we'll as official
standpoint the nomination is fine one,
Mr.. Blewett having done long and active
service for the party, and having meyer
received any Of the rewards that often
come for such efforts. He will conduct
the affairs of the office in first-class style.
The Office is believed to be worth some
$500 year net, and the appointment is
for four years. The office is at present
held by Hon. E. L. Williams of Bismarck.
The surveying to be done will largely
depend on the government appropria-
tion, but there will undoubtedly be
large amount of work done in the office
during the next four years. Several
clerks will! be necessary also.

Dows VS.. Glaspell.

Attorney Camp returned from Bis
marck Thursday where he had been to
argue the case Of David Dows Jr. L. Co.,
Duluth, vs. S. L. Glaspell of this city.
This is case Of dealing in grain options,
wherein, through speculation, the de-
fendant became indebted to the plaintiffs
who were brokers, for the sum OF over
$4,000. The firm sued in the lower
court, and the defendant set up that 1t
was gambling debt, and won the case.
The plaintiffs then appealed to the su-
preme court, where 1t was heard. Mr..
Camp represented the defendant to the
action.
Mr.. Camp states that there are
quite number of attorneys in attend
ance at this term of court. The calendar
10 unusually heavy and the cases nearly
all ready, many however, being fought to
finish before he left. Judge Winches-
ter has decided that county commission
ers have no power to settle or compro-
mise cases brought by the Northern
Pacific railroad company to enjoin the
sale Of lands for taxes. The Northern
Pacific tax cases in the state court will
likely be reached about June. The rail-
road company has just filed an argument
Of about 80 pages in length in the case.
The suit is brought to enjoin the sale Of
lands for the tax OF 1887. The case OF
Barrett vs.. Stutsman county will be
reached about the middle Of next week.
There were but four appeals from Judge
Roses court. The revision committee ls
hard at work upon the compiled laws.
Quite class OF candidates were exam
ined for admission to the bar and all are
now full tledged attorneys but one, who
failed to pass. Among the successful
ones we're Geo. Soljday Of Darlington,
aud A. H. McI.esn of Minnewaukan.
