lsked how he found things politically,

dskeu now ne IOunQ things politically,
said:
while in. Fargo I was brought in
contact with persons from all parts of
the state, and, of course discussed or
heard discussed, more or Jess, politics,
and the outlook for the success or fail
ure of the different parties in the con
ing election. The general concensus of
opinion was that the republican ticket
was a sure winner this fall; that the
populist party we're disintegrating and it
had got to be a mere scramble for office
with them. Nearly everybody was not
only dissatisfied but disguised at the
recent conduct of the leaders of fusion
in attempting to make merchandise of
the judiciary and chief executive in the
election of Porter and Nomland. They
seem to be generally recognized as
occupying the two state Offices that can
furnish the loaves and fishes, and that is
the kind Of food the fusion leaders are
after. At least that was the general
opinion OF those with whom I talked or
heard express opinions. My absence
has prevented my seeing the voters of
thec county, but from now until the polls
close l shall be in the field for the whole
republican ticket

was with States Attorney Pollock and
Judge Mcconnell, in reference to insti-
tuting contempt proceedings against one
of the Metropole contingent, who was
arrested and bound over for the third
time yesterday. Some one told the
spotter he was wanted outside the
judges room, and he stepped out into
the hallway. While waiting for Who
ever wished to see him, someone dealt
him a blow with a club, knocking him
down. Another blow followed the first
and then he was thrown down a small
flight Of stairs. His assailant escaped
without being detected. Wright's face
was cut open by the blow and he was
otherwise "bunged up"
From the court house, the spotter
jcurneyed up town with Lawyer Crum,
whom he asked to defend him from his
enemies. AS the two were passing Alex
Stern's store, a man standing in front
struck Wright a powerful blow with a
club, which sent him staggering into the
street. His assailant followed him up
and handed him several additional
whacks in rapid succession. Each blow
laid the flesh open to the bone. Wright
has been in the saloon business for
years, running a place on Fourth street
in St. Paul and also in Grand Forks.
Recently he quilted the business and at.
tached. himself to a private detective
agency, and was assigned the duty of in.
forming against blind piggers in North
Dakota.

Mr.. Hazeltine's residence last evening.
After some p~reliminaries the professor
blindfolded and then proceeded to
the room from which the stolen goods
had been taken. Then, accompanied by
the committee, he hurried down stairs
and out to the barn. The door was
locked, but the professor sent for the
key and then rushed to the upper floor,
where he found the stolen articles buried
in some hay. A portion of the time the
professor seemed partially in an uncon-
sclous state. While in this condition he
wrote on a slip of paper: He is scared
and went to barn." He was completely
Frustrated when the goods were finally
recovered.

WHY HARRIS SHOULD BE

WHY HARRIS SHOULD BE ELECTED.
In the year 1886 the supreme court of
the United States, in what was known as
the Trail county tax case, declared that
all lands granted to the Northern Pacific
railroad, on which survey fees had not
been paid, not taxable, and all taxes
assessed upon such lands prior to the
payment Of said fees null and void.
This decision deprived the city of Bis.
marck of a large part of her revenue for
school and other purposes, and the board
of education in the latter part of 1887
and spring of 1888 were confronted with
a shortage in revenue of several thous-
and dollars, and some of their warrants
we're sold on the street at a large dis
count, as county and city warrants have
always been sold. The school board at
this time determined to protect their
credit and prevent this ruinous policy if
possible, and MI. Harris and I. P. Hunt
we're appointed a committee to make
some financial arrangement by which
the holders of school warrants would re-
ceive par for them. Such an arrange
ment was made with one of the banks
for one year by which they cashed all
Bismarck school warrants at par, and
the board paid them 4 per cent. for so
doing. When this contract terminated
at the end of the school year it was re-
newed at 2 per cent; the following year
at l per cent, then at q per cent, then
at K per cent. until at the beginning of
the school year in September, 1892, the
board had cash on hand to pay every
warrant as fast as issued. Thus by a
simple business arrangement the credit
of the school district has been main
tanned and her indebtedness paid, in
stead of having her warrants sold on the
street at a discount of from 20 to 80 per
cent. and a large and increasing floating
debt incurred.
Mr.. Harris does not claim to have or
iginated this plan, but as a member of
the board of education for great many
years, he has been largely instrumental
in carrying it to a successful conclusion.
This is only one of the many things that
might be shown to show that Mr.. Har-
ris is a thorough business maxwell
qualified to care for the business inter
ests Of the county. A business admins
tration by the board of county commits
m%issioners is just what Burleigh county
needs. Eject Mr.. Harris as commits
missioner, and you will get it. As a
member of the constitutional convention,
he done as much for the interest of Bur-
leigh county as any man could possibly
do. AS a member of the committee or
apportionment of property of the terri.
tory, between the two states, he saved
North Dakota many thousand dollars.
He saved over $1,000 gross earnings
at one time.
His election as county commissioners
means1 that the expense of Burleigh
county will be what is necessary to pay
out-and no more.

Baranoff castle was In Sitka and was
built upon an eminence commanding an
excellent view of the town and harbor. In
appearance it bore no resemblance to o
castle, but looked very much like a coun-
try hotel. Baranoff castle and the island
upon which it was built derived their name
from the Russian Governor Baranoff, who
in the early part Of the century lived there
and ruled the people with tyranny SINH
lar to that enforced in Siberia. Under
Baranoff's rule and that of his predecessor
the island and the old castle were the
scenes of many contests for supremacy as
well as Of festivities, in which persons Of
royal blood participated.
The governorship of that portion of all
Russia was considered great reward, and
in turn many mobiles ruled and were pro-
vided with plenty to make their life one
of luxury. The old banquet hall of the
castle was the scene of many entertain
ments given in extravagant style in honor
of visiting celebrities.
Twenty years ago Lady Franklin, then
so years old, visited the island, searching
for some trace of her missing husband, Sir
John. William H. Seward, upon his re-
tirement as secretary of state also spent
several days upon the island, viewing with
his own eyes the great territory which
through his and Senator Charles Summers
efforts was secured for this country by
peaceable means. In the fall of 1867 many
noted personages stood upon the balcony
of the old castle and witnessed the replac-
ing of the eagles of the czar with the stars
and stripes. By that act $50, 900 square
miles of territory became the property Of
the United States, the consideration being
cents per acre.-San Francisco Chron-

Shrubs For Shady Places.

The fragrant bush honeysuckle does
finely in such a place. The Towering
raspberry grows in the greatest abun-
dance wild in hollow and moderately
damp places in woods. Snowberry and
red Indian currant bushes do nicely in
shady places; so do common privets.
Most all kinds of trailing honeysuck!es
thrive in the shade so far as growing
well is concerned; so do trailing roses
like Wichuraiana nitida and lucida grow
in the shade. In dry, somewhat shady
ravines barberry bushes, sweet fern and
wax myrtle are at home, and in the bet
ter ground mahonia shrub, yellow root
and evergreen euonymus should thrive.
Then there are mountain laurel, wild
rhododendrons, blueberry and upland
huckleberry bushes, maple leaved vibur-
mum and lots of others.
