DEMOCRATIC ovERTUREs REPUD1ATED.
In moving the adoption of the resolu.
ton sent up to the clerks desk, asking
that the convention elect q committee of
ten to confer with like committee Of
ten elected by the demo Gratis in their
convention, for the purpose OF nominal
ing legislative candidates conjointly, Mr..
E. p. Wells said:
"In moving the adoption OF the resolu-
ton, gentlemen Of the convention, have
been impressed by the fact that entirely
without authority or encouragement
from me, my name appears to have been
mentioned in connection with one Of the
Legislative offices. Any mention Of my
name in connection with any office has
been without consultation, my consent
or approval from me. T am not now
and haven't been q candidate for any
Office in the GIFT of the people," This was
said in order that he would be entirely
free to recommend the adoption of the
resolution on the ground that it appeared
to him . period in which especially dis
cretion aud ability was needed in that
position. The posltion called for good
business sense, and good business judg-
msnt and experience. The state, he said,

pristions are largely in excess of the
revenues: the bills Of the state are
months and months past due, and no

upon the people have been stretched to

A SUBSTANTIAL CITY,
jamestown Going iAhead..-The Big
Fair.

Minnewsuksn Sift,ngs: jamestown
has been holding it's own and more. The
daily papers are enterprising and reason
ably thrifty, the business tirms seem to
be doing at least fairly remunerative
business, and there is substantial air
about the city generally. There is sub
stsntial air about all North Dakota
towns, but to quote 4 word that has
grown quite rapidly in popular favor Of
late, it is little more "diversifed" here.
jamestown is the natural agricultural
center for this half of the state, and each
year will make that distinction more
pronounced.
There is considerable talk along the
jamestown and Northern about the
jamestown fair, and the prospects are
there will be big attendance from this
section Of the country.
The sensation in jamestown is the
fair, and Bob Wallace, who ls known
from the Allan tic,to the Golden Pacific.
and from the SHOWS of the north to
Phoenix, is secretary of the association,
with headquarters in the opera house,
where the enterprise ls being doomed in
royal style, and where some very inter.
esting samples OF products and curlos
are on exhibition, among which is
sample of Egyptian corn, raised by j. w.
Goodrich, who has dozen hills of it. It
Is said to be quite extensively raised in
number of the southern states, and
produces from so to 100 bushels, shelled,
to the acre. The berry Is small, fiat and
round, but has the corn flavor.
The farmers of the whole state, and
the people generally, ought to turn out
to this agricultural feast 10 the end that
the example of public enterprise and
public spirit, recognized and ENCOURAGED
IN practical way, may have its bene-
fetal effect on our state in future years,
and be something on this line to which
we may all proudly point with pride.''
We were told by thresher at Caring
ton that the wheat yield of Foster
county would average II bushels. 1t is
about the same in Eddy and Benson
counties. Wheat was 5711 cents at
Duluth Wednesday.
A big stretch OF country is already
burnt over lust south Of Darlington.

The home rule of Ruskin's mother
vas well nigh Puritanic in severity; his
oys were few and.Lis source of amuse-
nent limited. He says:
For toys, had bunch of keys to
play with so long as l was capable of
pleasure in what glittered and jingled;
Is grew older l had cart and ball,
md when l was six years old, two boxes
If well cut wooden bricks.
With these modest, but still think
entirely sufficient possessions, and being
always summarily whipped if l cried,
did not do as was bid or tumbled on
the stairs, soon attained serene and
,ecure methods of life and motion, and
tould pass my days contentedly in
tracing the squares and comparing the
colors of my carpet, examining the
knots in the wood of the floor, or count
ing the bricks in the opposite houses.
There were also intervals of rap
turous excitement during the filling of
the water cart through it's leathern pipe
from the dripping iron post at the pave
ment edge, or the still more admirable
proceedings of the turncock, when he
turned and turned until fountain
sprang up in the middle of the street

could find in bed covers, dresses or wall
papers to be examined, were my chief

Slow music at the theaters during the
performance of play is nuisance and
ought to be abolished. At the most
thrilling part of the scene in the drama,
when the interest of the audience is
wrought up to the highest pitch, the
squeaking of a fiddle will sometimes
ruin the entire effect produced by the
combination of dramatic language and
scenic effect. In the best European the
aters such a travesty as the slow and
weak scraping of fiddle during an in
tsresting scene is unknown, and it should
not be encouraged here

Dogs and Cats in King HowePs Times.

Dogs and Cats in King Howers Times.
The worth of dogs is variously esti-
mated; in the Tenth century the kings
bloodhound being valued at fifteen pence
when born and one pound when fully
trained, while ga herd dog is worth the
best OK, and whosoever may possess a
cur, though it be the king, its value is
fourpence."
Cats, however, are priced without dis
tinction, there being probably but one
breed. Nor is any extra value set upon
those favored cats, which, by reason of
their royal ownership, enjoyed the daily
privilege, accorded them proverbially,
of looking at a king. No matter to what
family or place it may belong, "the
worth of kitten from the night it is
kittened until it shall open its eyes, is a
legal penny, and from that time until it
shall kill mice, two legal pence" four
pence being the full value of cat, as Of
a sheep or of goat.
The qualities expected of her are par
ticularly catalogued and the list of them
runs thus: ''To see, to hear, to kill mice,
to have her claws entire, to rear and not
to devour her kittens, and if she be
bought and be deficient in any one of
those teithi, let one third of her worth
be returned. ALI the Year Round.

Where Does the Money Come From?

Look into any one of our great res
taurants, our fashionable resorts at
night. See at hundred tables groups
Of men and women spending each all
the way from five to fifty dollars. This
is not an occasional experience. You
can find it every night in the week, and
at lunch time the same places are
crowded with women to whom lunch
costing five or six dollars is as nothing.
Drive through the park on any fine
morning or late in the afternoon. You
may see men and women on horseback
by the hundreds, every one dressed for
the part" well mounted, representing
an immensely of capital. Look at the
long professional ongoing of equipages.
Millions upon millions of dollars are rep
resented there every day in the week.
and at all the favorite resorts along the
road you will find men and women gayly
fitting along, their butterfly wings
tipped with gold, their diamonds spark
ling in the air, their Publications max

choral echoings of fun and hurrahdom.

enough to attack anything within Its

the teeth long and sharp, with an in

in q net off Point Lama. Two boats at

succeeded in punching an iron into its
