Word was received in the city to-day
Of the death Of W. A. McCloy. at Dick

news came as a shock to the many Bis
marck friends Of Mr.. MoCloy. His ILL
ness lasted but eight days. t4p sS
Mr.. McCloy was q young man, we'll
known and popular in Dickinson. He
was for q long time chief clerk to Super
intendent Phelan, when the division
superintendent's Office was lot ated at
Dickinson, and was one of the most eff
Gent clerks along the line Of the road.
After the abolition of the Office at Dick
inson, he went into the hardware BUSH
ness, and was engaged therein up to the
time Of his death.
Mr.. McCloy was married, and his wife
will have the sincere sympathy Of q host
OF friends. The deceased was q member
OF Tancred Commandery Of this city.
The funeral will occur Monday at 2

The Sickness at Grand Forks.

While it is an undoubted fact that
there is considerable, illness at Grand
Forks at present, yet residents OF the
city, and those who should have it's
interest at heart, as we'll as the Grand
Forks newspapers, maintain that the re-.
ports as to the extent and fatality Of the
trouble are grossly exaggerated. John
Oldfield, a travelling man, who makes
his home in Grand Forks, and who was
there up to last Tuesday, says outsiders
are inclir ed to exaggerate and enlarge
upon the spread Of the epidemic. "While
it is q fact that Grand Forks is having q
serious siege Of illness" said Mr.. Old
field this morning, yet the reports are,
some Of them grossly exaggerated. There
are probably 400 or 500 cases of illness
in the city. The disease is not typhoid
fever, as reported, but grippe, pure and
simple, and is 30 pronounced by the
Grand Forks physicians, who could Ger
tainly have no object in misrepresenta-
ton. .tl4 af b
"The report that the disease is caused
from bad water and like impurities, is
also denied, and Dr.. Logan, the health
officer, has analysed the water, and pro.
nounced it healthful, and free from IN
impurities such as would cause typhoid.
# the disease were az bad as claimed,
why should the Grand Forks physioians
who certainly have the interests of the
city at heart, misrepresent in to the citi-
zens Of Grand Forks? Sinceathe ! be.
ginning Of the trouble, 9 week before
Christmas, the deaths have averaged
foura week, and not six or seven q day
as reported. d.
"Some Of the reports circulated are so
exaggerated as to be almost lauRhable,
did they not touch upon such a grave
subject. It is reported by q jamestown
paper that there were twelve deaths last
Monday night. I was in Grand Forks
at that time, and know this to be false,
as there was but one death. Another
report is that q man wished to see a GER
tain ailo. druggist, and the people were stand.
ing 80 thick in his store waiting for pre-
scriptions, that after waiting around
several hours he had to go away without
seeing him. These reports do the city
as much harm as the actual sickness,
andpeople should be more careful in
circulating them.'

AT a Ropes End.
CANDo, Jan. 19.-The last act in the
Observation-Disclosures tragedy, whereupon
the curtain went up at the Kreider
homestead early in the morning of July
z, last, was played out shortly after noon
to-day. Over half a year has passed
away since the commission of the crime,
and the time has lessened in no wise the
lntese feeling of hatred against the MUIR
derer which characterizes the people of
Cando and vicinity. They have been
waiting, it may be said. in eager aMticl-
patton Of the day when Bomubuurrger
should be brought back among them to
die. And the event has occurred, and
there is q feeling OF relief at the close, of
the'last act in n of the ghastliest
tragedies which ever occurred. ~
The last trip of Bombuurrges1r from
Grand Forks Jail, where he was confined
to Cando, was an uneventful one. All
along the route, however, people crowded
the platform, and in some places fled
through the r to catch a glimpse of
the murderer, That be was the center
of much interest, did not seem at ali to
impress Bomburger with the solemnity
OF the trip. He laughed and talked and
joked. with the guards. And whsn he
was placed in the Cando Jail, and the
death watch had been stationed, not even
then did he appear to be impressed at
bis surroundings. His appetite was
good, and he, ate heartily. His mood
was not gloomy or sorrowful, but rather
the contrary, and he amused himself
with playing cards and joking with the
death watch. There was a we'll defined
suspicion existent a few days ago that
BoMBuRGER WOULD ATTEMPT SUICIDE
after he was taken to Cando for the last
time. It is said he confided his inten-
ton to q person who visited him while
in the Grand Forks Jail, and the govern
or was advised Of the statement. For
this reason every precaution was taken
with tie prisoner, both on the. trip, and
while he was in jail at Cando. The vigi-
lance Of the guard was never relaxed and
no opportunity was given him to cheat
the ends of justice.
The ordinarily quiet little town Of
Cando has been decidedly lively for the
past few days. From all the country
roundabout, people came to be present
at the time Of the hanging. The streets
have been crowded, and the approach Of
the first legal hanging in the state or
North Dakota has been the all en-.
crossing subject Of conversation. Hun
dreds visited the enclosure and gallows
prior to the hanging. The Kreider
homestead has been likewise visited and
examined. The tale Of the tragedy has
been repeated again and again. In fact
the week just closed has been exclusively
q Bombnrger week.

sent their names to the federal govern
ment. This statement evidences
political blindness and mental disquali-
dcation. The Chinese minister did not
demand the provision mentioned. 1t is
inserted in the treaty for the benefit OF
our merchants and missionaries. When
We give the names Of our citizens thus
included to the Chinese government in
accordance with treaty stipulation, to
which that government has assented,
the result lie q practical insur-
ance OF the lives and property of
our missionaries and merchants, not
alone by the Chinese government but
also by our government. II any one of
them is disturbed his remedy is perfect
and thus is bis immunity secured. The
editor of the Express thus objects to
stipulation which essentially involves
the protection of American citizenship.
Partisanship may be queer, but the
man who, having enjoyed the advan-
tages Of q place becsuse of the mistaken
indulgence of q Democratic administra-
ton, attacks that administration aa the
penalty Of its forbearance-as does the
editor OF the Express suggests the ser
pent in the fable.

An Unususl Sale at Which Gentlemen

The FridayMornlng Club brings q number
of ladies together every week, and so do one or
more other Organizations of which ladies ex-
clusiveiy comprise the membership, but no
organization, massmeeting or anything else
has ever brought together Il number OF ladies
eq 1al to that which assembled Tuesday after.
noon at Germans jewelry store. Every lady
received souvenir of her vi lit to the big store,
but this was not of course the incentive of
thei1 call. They came because they had been
especially invit d, anu because they kn ew that
special arrangements would be m de for their
comfort at the great auction, and they were
glad to have an opportunity to attend the sale
There was stalwart, deputy constable look
ing sort OF man who stood at the door and
politely informed the gentlemen who sought
to enter that the day was given up exclusively
10 the ladies', while dur ing the early part of
the afternoon Mr. German III person received
the ladies who called. Very soon the large
space was entirely hlled with ladies. and about
that tima the sale began. Tha dding

to move directly for 1t. Upon q number OF &C.

day ct Runnymede to the present hour,
who can come as near being called "a
dark horse" as Lord Rosebery; and
therefore il is no wondar that the Lon
don Economist, 9 paper that makes
very few bunders in its sizing-up oi
public men, places him in the category
OF political great unknowns" and re.
fuses to accord to him any powers ap-
preaching first class statesmanship.
That paper says:
Before 1884 Lord Rosebery was prac-
tically unknown to the great mass OF
electors OF the United Kingdom. He
has had a cabinet position for only two
years. He has had little or no oppor-
tunity during his life for stating his
opinions on the leading questions OF the
day. Out OF this period since 1884,
barely 10 years-he has lived in seclu-
sion for two years after the death of his
wife; so that he has in reality been only
eight years before the public, and not
in the house OF commons either. Lord
Rosebery's opinions are in most cases q
matter of conjecture"
1t would seem from what most of the
British papers say about Rosebery that
he is a man of Thurlow Weeds stamp
one who has the happy knack of bring
ing together men who have hitherto
been antsgonized and making them
friends, or causing them to appear as
such, for his sake. Even the papers
directly opposed to him prior to his &C.
cession to the premiership, admit that
all appearances are strongly in his favor |;
and that his conduct in leading the pro-
gressive element in the London county
council was indicative OF q man who
makes no mistakes.
The great Solomon said: when q
mans ways please the Lord, it msketh
even his enemies be at peace with him."
The above applies with considerable
force to Lord Rosebery. for tits evident
that he. is a great political manager;
and while the Economist refuses to &C.
cord to him anything like frst-class
statesmsnship, it nevertheless is willing
to admit that he is and has been . most
successful politician. The question now
is, can he (or any other man in the
peerage, for that natter hold in check
the Irish as Mr.. Gladstone did.
Lord Rosebery's rise has been won-
derful and without parallel in the his
tory of that plodding and conservative
nation which we seek to typiiy by the
nickname OF John Bull" He has q
great problem before him in which he
finds his own element by birth, arrayed
against him. Should he be able to
carry out the Gladstonian programme of
home rule for Irelsnd, he will 'go thun-
dering down the ages" along with the
other master minds of England. Ii not
he will sink into hopeless obscurity and
his fall will be even more rapid than
his sudden rise from darkness and pow
erty up to light and power.

A BRIToN'S AMBITION.

1t is narrated of Lord Rosebery, the
new prime minister of England, that he
was asked one day while at school in
Eton, what was his ambition. The
youngster had evidently mapped out his
course in life, for he promptly answered
ito win the Derby, marry the richest
heiress in all England and to become
prime minister" The two last OF these
he has already realized. but the first is
as yet in condition of abeyance, al
though his horse, Ladas, is and has
been the all winter fRvorite for the blue
ribbon OF Epson.
With regard to his espoussl of Miss
Hannah Rothschild it can only be said
that the poor young earl played his
cards well. She was worth over 500, ,000,-
600. At the same time the Roseberys
were generally deemed an affectionate
couple, and there were no scandals at
any time which affected the good name
of the husband. He probably deemed
it his duty to be affectionste and was,
perhaps, as fond of Hannah as if she
had not had a cent. She died several
years ago and they are now talking of
sn alliance for him with the prince of
Wales family, which would be the worst
thing that could happen to him.
He now finds himself prime m mister
OF England at a much earlier age than
any man who has occupied that exalted
position in the past 80 years. The fol-
lowing tsble shows the ages at which
several prominent English Statesmen
became prime ministers, in the left hand
column; and in the right the number
of years they had served in parliament
before taking Office as the premier of

IT IS hardly possible to exaggerate the
value of an alfalfa field in Los Angeles
county in any season, wet or dry.
When irrigated, this lush clover will
yield from six to eight crops a year. In
a dry year alfalfa ia king, especially
when, as in the present year, there is q
very short crop of hay. This prolific
yield Of alfalfa points out Southern Cali
fornis as ultimately the great butter and
cheese producer of the American CONT
nent and OF the world. What other
section can hope to compete with a
region 30 imperially endowed as this :?
Certainly it is not Orange county, New
York, or Chester county, Pennsylvania
nor yet the blue grass fields of Ken
tucky. These are all good in their way,
but they are not alfalfa fields, and one
crop of grass with an aftermath is all
they can rely upon. In other words, it
is the eastern two to two and half tons
an acre to the ten to fourteen tons of the
Los Angeles farmer.

ceived in a more fault-fnding spirit than
these assaults. The attempt to convert
MIR. White and the Democratic party
into advocates of the Chinese is a refine
ment of the fsrcical. The new treaty
probably has defects, but it embodies
substantial concessions from the govern

obtained il American demands had been
