made in this county.
Mr.. Moody led of in a 50 minutes
speech (lor he did not.p ak his istincout
He presented the Republican side in a
fair and as able a manner as it could
have been presented. Mr.. Moody is a
lawyer and good one, and speaks S
an attorney for the defense iii this rrcat
action being tried before the people. II,
finished his speech, which WAS good
one for his cause and sat down amidst
he most overwhelming nd cuthusius ic
silence. The traditional Wc,'jn relus d
to ring.
Mr.. Craig then rose. Before lie had
been speaking To minutes every man N
the mouse, except those around hiT. -
the bar, Democrat, ropulst ard Krpuh-
lican, were standing Oh their t,ct. lie ois-
posed OF what few sO-called Arguments :
Mr.. Moody had made in a few moments
and then laid him out in grand >t.lo. 1t
is no eXaggcration to say the you- Q
man actually seemed to be inspired.
Every eye in the house as fastened on
t he face of the speaker, glowing with t4y
intensity o. inspiration. M report can
possibly do justice to his sltccH, the
equal of which, the Oldest men wh,a.ad
1t say, was never made III Wpyu.>yl,r
by any man, old or Dung.
Everybody was speii-buund. Oi men
wept, Young men went Wild popu@ls
opened wide their mouths and ,,abl

Even MIR. Moody seemed d znl, IT uu'
hypnotized. DR.. Wells OF Chrlc sliI. "it

that he had heard greatspeakgraa over
the union and had never heard tt suf-

anywhere. Mr.. Tom Lct s.' cha;
SNSly bpuy pronounced IL lIt lib'..s 'IDt

Wayncsvilc since the campaign began
In iact, every body agreed that H. Wa,

one that undoubtedly won NAN, yo.ts.
Not man left the court house who
could trutbiully say that Mr. Craig,

opponent had look OF doubt u his
face; and some Democrats observing ms

and trem5le."
When Mr.. Craig mentioned .ne name
OF oar candidate for Congress. Mir Craw-
ford, whiilwind OF enthusiasm swept
the audience.
After Mr.. Craig closed a red beaded
fellow, whom the crowd yelled at as
Pink, ran nearly everybody out OF thy
house by threatening to make d speech.
He concluded that this was not hi, time

troops of this command during the recent
outbreaks of lawless persons on the line of
the Northern Pacific railway. Reference
is especially made to the prompt movement
of troops from their stations, by marching,
to protect the more important d%estructible
structures and tunnels on the Northern
Pacific road, and to the excellent conduct
of the train guards and troops stationed at
division terminals and important points on
the railroad.
In making dispositions to protect prop
erty under charge Of the general govern
ment, it became necessary to march infan-
try organizations along the line of the dis
abled railroad for considerable distances
from Helena, Fort Custer, Fort Keogh and
Fort Missoula. The orders to this effect
were promptly and intelligently obeyed,
and the contemplated dispositions were
made in such manner as practically to pre-
vent any destruction of property. The
marches OF the cavalry squadron under
Capt. Hickey, from Fort Yates to Mandan,
and of the squadron under Maj. Whit, from
Fort Buford to Glendive, and the marches
of three troops of cavalry under Captains
Davis and Read, from Fort Custer to the
Big Horn tunnel and bridge, and TO Bill
ings, Mont, were all begun and completed
with a p%romptness and celebrity which in
dictate a splendid state of discipline at the
different posts.

The claim is for hauling q drunk to Jail,

The council finally referred the bill to

report upon.

ceiving only 1925 for circus license. The
other members of the committee held
that, as times were hard, s25 was all that
could be secured. Mr.. Braithwaite then
said the license committee had no right
to reduce the license without the con-
sent Of the council. Mr.. Mcbride Clipped
in at this ~juncture, and said he thought
SO too, but the report was finally ac-
cepted. The report Of the same COM
mittee on the city Justices report for
June was read and accepted.
The committee on ordinances reported,
disappearing the fire limit ordinance
presented at the last regular meeting
and recommended that it do not pass.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. Reade, OF the committee on sal
aries, presented q minority report. He
said he had been unable to bring about
q meeting Of the committee, and so
made a report himself. He recon-
mended the payment of salaries as fol-
lows:
Chief Of police, fire & water fund. s. rs 90
Custodian. IRE q water fund ....... IS 90
Clerk, contingent fund ... 30. 90
Treasurer, contingent und..... 10 90
The report also provided that the city
attorney and engineer be paid according
to services performed. Mr.. Braithwaite
kicked with his accustomed regularity.
He said the salaries were too high, some
of them more than he received himself.
He would never vote to pay a man more
than he received himself. Alderman De-
Puy wanted to know if he had voted for
Cleveland. Alderman Allen said the al
derman got IS per year for their ser
vices, and wanted to know whether this
should regulate the salaries of po-
lice officers. Mr.. Reade said he didn't
care how much salary he got himself; he.
wanted any workingman to have all he
was worth. The report was adopted on
roll call, Aldermen Mcbride and Braith-
waite voting no.
Mr.. Reade then offered q resolution
to refund certain dog taxes paid last
aH.E
year out of the contingent fund, which
was carried. The committee which was
appointed to devise means to secure 500
cash for the fremen, said the sum had
been raised on the personal notes Of the
aldermen, with the understanding that
the city was to pay the same when in
funds. The clerk was instructed to
draw a warrant ont of any fund on hand
to cover the sum.
Mr.. Braithwaite then moved to dis
pense with the further use Of a team on
the streets after August 8th. Carried.
The council then discussed: the liquid
drink ordinance, and authorized the
mayor to expend whatever moneys nee
essary to the strict enforcement OF the
ordinance. The council then adjourned.

Public Opinion.
Everything Looks Prosperous to Him
and None of the Hard Times
in the East.
Hay Somewhat scarce-Troops Com
plimented-various Items of
News.
Pierce's Trip,

@ Pierce's Trip.
Ex-senator Pierce, who made a trip
up the 500, and who stopped off at Eu-
reka, Ashley and other points, gives the
Minneapolis Tribune some interesting
pointers to prove that North Dakota is
all right. Senator Pierce says:
[ cannot imagine a better trip for any
one suffering from bronchial trouble than
one across the prairies Of North Dakota in
an open wagon. One week is good, two
would be better, and a month would renew
ones lease of life. And don't De afraid
you won't get enough to eat and of good
quality. Fresh eggs and butter, rich milk,
green corn that hasn't become wilted since
picking, chickens fried the way your
mother cooked them" and in all the larger
villages tirst-rate beef steak and a good
variety of fruits-nO one need be alarmed
about starving.
OF course, l am not speaking here Of
towns like LaMoure, Jamestown, and
Others OF like size, where one finds excel
lent hotels, and expects to, but the smaller
places, where it would not be strange if
there were lack of accommodations.
GLOW do the people feel up there over
the business situation? p"
That's what 1 was going to mention. OF
course, it is close time everywhere, but 1
was surprised at the comparatively cheerful
state of affairs in the section | visited.
There is non of that air of discourage.
ment, almost dispair, that one so often sees
in the larger cities. The people are econ
o~mizing--living close, buying little, but
they haven't a conception of hard times as
thousands know of them in the cities.
II wanted to say a word about the towns
up there. l expected to see them looking
awfully shabby, but really / never saw
them looking better-l mean those in the
James River valley. l didn't see any others
except a glimpse of Fargo early in the
morning as we came through; that, of
course, looks spick and span new and as
pretty as a red drum. But jamestown, La
MOure (the latter has been burned slnce)
Edeeley and the towns up and down the
valley have none of that air OF having
gone to seed that 1 expected to see from
reports. The hotels were never kept up so
well, and | imagine are doing a good bust
ness. l didn't go west as far as Bismarck
or north to Rockford, Minnewaukan, etc,
but hear good reports from them. + am
told that there is scarcely an empty house
in Bismarck and that the capitol extension
is being rapidly pushed to completion,
while the smaller places up the valley
north OF Jamestown are growing and pros
pering beyond what could be expected in
such times. Of course the towns in the
Red River valley are always booming"
Taken all together then you think North
Dakota all rightw
