". this batter becomes excessively sour

raised by this means are more often
sour or heavy than light and sweet. II
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Powder,
mixing the batter fresh daily, and find
the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive Inconvenience. Be-

four years ago, when the firm was dis
solved, by the subject of this sketch pur-
chasing the interest of his brother, and
the business has, since that time, and
still is conducted under his name of G.
M. Dahl. He is known as one Of the
oldest and most successful business men
now in trade in the city. EARLY in the
history of the establishment Of the order
of knights of Pythias, Mr.. Dahl took an
active part in that order, and has served
in nearly every position of honor in the
gift of the order. He has three times
represented the grand lodge as grand
representative, aud has served one term
as the grand chancellor of the Pythian
grand lodge of the state. He is recog-
nized by the order as one of it's best
posted, conscientious and earnest advo-
Gates, but in no manner uses, or attempts
to use, his great popularity in the order
to further his political ambitions. His
belief in its beauties and it's benefits be-
ing too great to in any manner use it to
further his personal ambitions. Mr..
Dahl has travelled quite extensively in
the western states, and in that manner
became we'll acquainted with life and
the needs of the people in the whole
northwest Always studious, he has

been an omniverous reader, and thus be-
came we'll acquainted with the political
history of the country, which materially |
aids him in the proper discharge of the
duties of his Office.
In the Spring of 1889, he was, against
his protest, chosen as one of the alder
mon of the city of Bismarck, and served
with credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents, for one year. During
Hon. John Flittie's last term as secre-
tary Of state, he travelled extensively and
the duties Of secretary of state were large
intrusted to Mr.. Dahl, as his deputy;
and so well and satisfactorily did he per-
form those duties, that when the repub.
lican state con vention met at Fargo
two years ago, he was nominated for the
position he now holds.
AS is we'll known, the state CT North
Dakota was included in the great politi-
cal landslide of two years ago, and was
for the first time taken out of the COL
umn of republican states. Notwith-
standing the great political somersault
Of that election, Mr.. Dahl's personal
popularity, and the record he had made
as deputy secretary of state, was so great
as to insure his election, he receiving
1928 votes against 1858 votes cast for
Kemper Peabody. The office of secretary
of state has ever been recognized as the
one requiring most discriminating
Judgment and executive ability. As?
premier or secretary of state, Gladstone
| Disraeli and others, have written the
most indelible pages of England's his
tory. As secretary of state, Webster,
Seward and Blaine have achieved the
greatest results, and marked in the an
nails of the worlds history the most pro-
nounced and lasting benefits of a repub-
lican form Of government. What the
secretary of state in national cabinet
is to the national administration of af-
fairs, the secretary of state Of every
state is to the state administration. and
though of opposite political opinions

Christian NJ. Dahl, whose picture we
give at the head of this column, was
born on the 21st day Of August, 1855, at
Ringsaker, Norway, and was, therefore,
80 years old on the 21st day of August,
last. He received common school ed
ucation in Norway, before coming to
this country, which, under their compul.
sorry education laws, was far more thor
ough than he would have received in
the same number of years in this coun-
try, and while he is genuine Scandi-
navian, and proud of the fact, one
would pronounce him, from an observa-
tion of his daily life, thorough Ameri-
can. He came to this country with an
older brother, at the age of II, and set
tied at Lacrosse, Wisconsin, working
part of the time in the city of Crosse,
and part of the time on farm near by,
attending the common school IN winter.
He then took a course in the Lacrosse
business college, thus receiving thor
ough, English business education.
In the spring of 1876, he removed
from Lacrosse to Lansing, Iowa, where
he held clerical position in a
large general merchandising business.
in which capacity he served for nearly
seven years, and would still be occupy
ing had he not concluded it was best to
engage in business on his own account.
He made several trips to the then terri
tory of Dakota during the years Of 1880
and 1881, spending part of the summer
of 1880 at Valley City, and while there,
invested in real estate, which he has
since disposed of on very favorable
terms, showing his native shrewdness
and business tact, even at that early
date in our history.
In the fall of 1882, Mr.. Dahl, in COM
pany with his brother, settled at Bis.
marck, where he has since resided, and
engaged in the clothing, gents furnish
ing and merchant tailoring business. The
business was successfully conducted un-
der the name Of Dahl Bros. until about

He has been enabled for several years
past to ship from one to three cars of
stock to market, which, because of their
good breeding and healthy condition
have commanded the highest market
price.
Mr.. Richards has never sought polit-
cal preferment, but has been prevailed
upon by the earnest solicitations of his
neighbors to three times serve as the
assessor of his township, whice is the
only office he has ever held.
Since the admission of the state of
North Dakota, but two persons residing
outside OF the city of Bismarck has ever
been elected to serve in the legislature
from this district, and one of them lived
so near and his business is so intimately
connected with the town people, that he
may almost be said to be resident of the
city, also. This year, the delegates to
the republican county convention
thought it no more than fair to the
country part of the district that they be
represented by one of the representa-
tive farmers of the county, and in look
ing about for such candidate, they
found that Uncle Tommy Richard pos
sessed every requisite. While not in
fact ian old timer" he had been here SO
long as to be accepted by the county at
large as such. Coming here poor
man, he understands the needs of every
farmer of limited means. Having been
engaged for years IN both farming and
stock raising, he understand every
branch of that business, by which most
of his constituents gain livlihood.
Having been both borrower and a
lender, he appreciates. the necessity of
stringent laws against usury and usuri-
GUS contracts. Having served as one of
the assessors for three years, he is we'll
posted as to the proper methods, and
will advocate such laws as give just and
equitable taxation between the merchant
and the farmer. Living out on the
bleak prairie for fourteen cold winters,
and having to both buy and haul a long
distance, all the fuel needed for use, he
thoroughly understands and will be
in position to strongly advocate any
and all measures that will lessen the
| cost of fuel to the farmers and others of
his district. These, and great many
other qualifications he is known to pos
sees, led the delegates at the convention
to choose him as one of their standard
bearers, with such unanimity that his
nomination was made by acclamation.
Let the farmers now say by their votes
whether or not they want one Of their
own number-one who has demonstrated
by actual experience that diversified
farming oan be and has been made to
pay in Burleigh county.
Give him chance, and he will make
as good member of the next house as
he has farmer and a neighbor.

ical speeches in the eastern part Of the

WILLIAM III. BRATTON.

The subject of this sketch was born
in the summer of 1887, near the bank Of
the Juniata river, in Mif1lin county, Pa.
His father being farmer, he grew up
on the farm, working all summer and
going to school two or three months in
winter. Thus his childhood and youth
were spent on the farm up to August,
1861. In response to his country's call,
he volunteered his services as private
soldier in the 49th Regt., Pa. Vols, for
term of three years, served under Gen.
Mcclellan through the celebrated Pen
insular campaign from Williamsburg
ION to Richmond" nearly, and back
again to Malvern Hill, participating in
the principal engagements up to Gaines
Mill, where, on the second day of the
seven days fighting, he was taken pris-
oner, and for six weeks was incarcerated
in Libby and on Belle Isle; being ex-
changed he rejoined his regiment at
Malvern Hill.
In March, 1864, he re.enlisted in Bat
terry G, End Pennsylvania heavy artil-
lery, being the 10th Regt. Pa. Vols,
and, commencing with the battle of the
Wilderness, marched and fought with
the Army of Virginia up to June l7th,
when he received canister shot wound
the left cheek. After ten days he was
again on duty in the front rank and on
the right Of his company. On Septem-
ber 29th, during an assault upon Fort
Gilmer, under Gen. Butler, he received
a wound from piece Of shell in the left
wrist, which necessitated the amputation
of his left fore arm. Here he again fell
into the hands of the enemy and was
carried the second time to Libby prison,
from where he was paroled two weeks
later and sent to Annapolis, Nd, thence
to South street hospital, Philadelphia.
In May, 1865, he was MUSTER ed out of
service and again returned to the old
home and farm, where he began soon to
realize that he was incapacitated for
farming. He entered Duff's commercial
college, Pittsburgh, Pa. In the fall Of
the same year, whilst he was pursuing
a commercial course, the Republican
party of his native county nominated
him for the Office of prothonotary and
clerk of the courts of common pleas,
quarter sessions and oyer and terminer
for term of three years, to which Office
he was elected at the general election.
He was twice reelected, serving in all
nine years.
Mr.. Bratton came with his family to
Burleigh county in 1888, and settled on
a homestead five miles south of Ster-
ling, where he has since farmed with
varying success. When the seasons have
been favorable he has raised good crops,
and during years when there was
drought he has, with the community in
general, suffered from it's effects. When
the first legislature of the new state was
organized Mr.. Bratton was chosen as
clerk Of the judiciary committee, the
only committee whose clerk is elected by
the members of the house. In this posi-
ton, as all others he has occupied, he
gave entire satisfaction, his past expert

to the present state administration, Mr..
Dahl's knowledge of the affairs of state,
and his tact and discreetness in handling
the business of his office, has been SO
great as to enable lhim to perform the
duties of that important position. with
out single dissent on the part of the
governor, or word of complaint from

He was the unanimous choice of the
republican state convention at Grand
Forke for a second term as secretary of
state, and will undoubtedly be chosen as
his own successor, by a largely increased
majority. Mr.. Dahl was married in Sep
tember, 1898, and now has one of the
most pleasant and happy homes in the
capital city. Mrs. Dahl has become
