FARGO SUN: A good joke is told on a
Bismarck women who went to the polls on
election. She got her ballot ready to
hand to the judges, when she demanded
her "pay," and reiterated vociferously that
she was told she would get "pay" if she
voted for Miss Bates. The democratic
judge of election referred the lady to the
republican judge, and he informed her
that it was beyond his jurisdiction-that
she would have to vote and then 60 out
side for compensation. This she utterly
refused to do, and said she must have 80
cents, the amount she had been promised,
or She would not vOte-and she didn't,
Settler: Must have been in the Fourth
ward. Bro. Stevens has the hoor-please
rise and explain.
Yes; Stevens can explaln-the whole
thing is simply a lie. Ed. TRIBUNE.

THE Bottineau Pioneer has a pleasant
word for Senator Hansbrough, and says:
"As the days go by we believe the people
o. this state will become more firmly
convinced that Senator Hansbrough is
worthy to succeed himself in '96, and that
such pressure of public opinion will be
brought to bear on our representatives
at Bismarck that Mr.. Hansbrough will
have no opposition"

THEY ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH
Neither man, woman or child can ap-
p~reciate what a noble and loyal lot Of
boys the volunteer fremen of Bismarck
are until they have seen them work to
suppress the mad flames of destruction.
Everything is done with the system of
professionals and the expedition of en-
thusiasts. The citizens stand by look
ing on, with perfect confidence that the
fire is in the hands of those perfectly
competent to cope with it. If there is
anything of which Bismarck has reason
TO feel especially proud it is its fire de-
nartmeut.

A Fondness for Survey Mounds.
B. P. Tilden, who recently was in the
northern part of the state investigating
and inspecting government surveying
contracts, relates a curious habit Of the
badger, those strong. limbed denizens of
the prairie, commonly believed to be able
to burrow in the ground faster than a
man can follow digging with a spade.
These mounds seem to have a predilec-
ton for the mounds cast up by the en-
gineers to indicate the subdivision of
townships into sections and quarter Sec
tons. Where timber is scarce, a stone
instead of a stake-bearing certain nu.
merals, is used, to indicate the location
of each particular subdivision of the
township. For some reason, known only
to the badgers, the animals have a great
fondness for these guide mounds with q
rock in the center, and in their excava-
tons and burrowing into and around
them oftentimes nearly eface them by
covering up both mound and stone. The
stone surmounting the mound is COM
pletely hidden by the earth which some
Industrious, though misguided badger,
has cast up. When e~ndeavoring to locate
a section corner it is somewhat aggra-
vatlng to the engineer or land hunter to
be under the necessity of overhauline
several mounds of badger excavations to
discover a Corner"

WIPED OUT WITH BLOOD.
Bank Clerk Settles a Shortage by
Shooting an Expert Account
ant and Himself.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Dec. 16.-John r.
Huntington, clerk at the Citizens State
bank, attempted to murder T. n. Hayden
and Stephen Cromwell, inspectors of the
Fidelity and Casualty company OF New
York, and then killed himself. The shoot
ing occurred at II O'Clock this morning in
the directors room in the rear of the
bank, where Huntington was being eN-
amined concerning a shortage In the ac-
counts of the bank.
Hayden and Cromwell came from Chi
cago three days ago at the request of the
officials of the bank to investigate a short
age of $500. All the employees of the
bank were under bonds in the surety
company and the inspectors were sent
here to locate the shortage. They had
an engagement with Huntington at the
bank this morning and were in the di-
rectors' room questioning him, when sud
denly without a moments warning he
walked over to where Cromwell was sit
ting and shot him.
Huntington was one of the best-knOwn
men in Council Bluffs and numbered his
friends by the hundred. SO far as can
be learned, he had no bad habits and
this is what makes his act the harder to
explain.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Dec. 17.-C. A.

shot yesterday by Bank Clerk Hunting

CREEDON REINSTATED.
Immunity Granted the Gotham Police
Captain Because of His
Confession.

New York, Dec. 15.-The police COM
mission today reinstated Capt Creedon.
Two resolutions were offered by Commits
sinner Murray One provided for the re-
lease from suspension of Capt Creedon
and the other called for a conference
between the president of the police board
and Chairman Lexow of the Senate
committee concerning Creedon's case
and other matters. Commissioner Shee-
han cast the only vote against the first
resolution, the second being carried unan-
imously.
1t was the general understanding at
police headquarters that Supt. Byrnes
was alone responsible for Capt. Cree
don's suspension at the executive session
of the police board yesterday. 1t was
known that the superintendent was
against the captain from the moment he
heard that Creedon had confessed the
payment of the money. Supt. Byrnes
said today: L have as yet said nothing
of the course [ shall pursue toward any
person, either directly or indirectly. 1t
is not for me to override the police COM
missioners. Anything that 1 shall do
shall be in the nature of holding an inves-
tgation as to whether there are any
other officers of this kind in the city and

Berlin, Dec. 15.-It is stated that Herr
Won Levetzow of the Reichstag has threat
ened to resign unless the anti-revolution-
airy bill is disposed of before Christmas
1t is added that majority of the mem
bers of the Reichstag thereupon yielded,
although they were anxious to return
home, and the anti-revolutionary bill will
be taken up next week. In the Reichstag
today Count Won Limburg-Stirum de-
clared that the arrangement with the
United States by which Germanys hands
were tied was a very serious matter.
Under the present favored nation"
clause Germany, he added, was helpless,
and he hoped that at the expiration of the
present treaty Germany would return to
autonomous tariffs. 1t was a regretable
fact, he continued, that the United States
in contraYention of a clearly-dehned
treaty dared to sur-tax German sugar.
1t would not have occurred, the speaker
claimed, under Prince Bismarck's regime.
Referring to the prohibition against the
landing of American cattle and fresh

that these measures could not be regarded
