his leg being broken in two places by
vicious bull. DR.. Iarcourt came down

asked to be raised up il bed, so that he
could breathe more freely. His son, Fred,
did as requested; but IN minute or two
the sufferer asked to be restored to his
former position, as he was tired. This
was done; but it did not relieve him, and
in few minutes he was corpse

Under another week of work on the capi.

quite rapidly, and part Of the second story
is finished. The first story is completed,
the floor of the second story laid. and the adj

what by the failure of stone for trimming to

Why is it that the Daily Tribune comes

is not distributed to patrons the evening

o'clock, are not given out till next day7
And why is 1t that letters dropped in the
Bismarcd office in the evening do not
come down next day7 If these serious in

caused by shortness of help, there ought
to be petition from city and county
people sent to Washington, asking for an

Mr.. ARMsrRoNG's still>hunt for the
legislature is in full blast, and has been
for several months. Mr.. Armstrong will
be remembered as the gentleman who, a
few years ago, canvassed the county to
secure signatures TO petition to the
county board to issue no more licenses,
which, if it had proved successful, would
have given US the blnd-pig era in En-.
mons few years sooner than it came.
He is the same gentleman who was a
strong advocate of the present constitu-
tional provision regulating appetite, and
worked hard for it all day long at the
Wllliamsport polls, and, after the vote
was counted, lectured at least one voter
for casting his ballot against prohibition.
We understand that he is willing to
promise to go back on his former prin-
ciples If the people Of the district will
send him to the Legislature The people
of this district four years ago made the
mistake of sending Mr.. Fisk, of Kidder
county, to the legislature. He also was a
prohibtionist; but he had promised to
vote for resubmissien. 1t took hard

the matter with telling the intelligent
readers of that paper of yourn that The
Forum is not big enough te--"cut IN 3''-
but it's the liveliest and best daily in
North Dakota? 1t has all the state news

Forum is sent to daily subscribers from
now to New Years for only 50, aud that
it has no superior--no equal--for state
news? Why not?
There is no "matter" with the Record
telling its readers as above suggested.
If any newspaper man in the state de.
serves q: little free advertising from his
professional brethren, that man is Major
Edwards. Although he is the ablest cdi~
tor in the state and publishes the best
paper in the state. there is nothing in the
nature of conceit about him, and he never
masses an opportunity to say kind and
encouraging word 10 the professional
brother whose lot has been cast in more
circumscribed and humble sphere. The
Forum is not as big as the major, but it
is living Endorsement of the old saying
that "the best goods are usually done up
in small packages" 1t is pleasure to
say kind word for the old editor and the
old soldier, for he certainly deserves it.
The Bismarck Tribune is the first paper
opened at this Office, because everybody
here knews everybody in the slope:;jme-

mighty good local paper. But The Forum
is always next. And we would advise.our

A NOMINEES POLITICS,

IT is said that the reason that Mr.. Du-
ga,d Campbell refused to run for the leg
islature on the pop ticket was because he
did not wish to injure the chances of Mr..
Armstrong, who wants to go to the legis-
lature for vindication. A few days before
the caucuses were held to choose dele
gates to the late Ninona convention, Mr..
Campbell stated to citizen of this coun-
ty that he did not know yet whether he
would train with the republicans or the
popullsts. Yet both he and F. D. Walk
er, another Cherry Grove democrat, took
part in the republican caucus of that dis
trict. Then he obtained the proxies of
two delegates from the district (both of
them friends Of the writer), and gave
them to one of our bitterest enemies to be
voted for Armstrong and against Streeter
as q delegate to the Grand Forks conven-
ton, although he knew, and Armstrong
knew, that Senator Worst wanted the
writer to 60 as one of the delegates. 1t is
not probable that the popuiists were aware
when they nominated Mr.. Campbell that
he was member of the Emmons county
returning board that threw out enough
votes to defeat one of the populist elect
ors, the suit of Messrs. Lee and Lynn
having no bearing on the vote for state
officers, as the vote from this county was
counted for state candidates as canvassed
by Messrs. Campbell, Van Beck and Wei
ler, and sent in by Auditor Armstrong.
There seems to be grave doubt as to Mr..
Campbell's 8 politics this year. But there
is no doubt on the part of the Record.
He is now, as he always has been, polit-
ical bushwhacker, ready to force himself
into the caucus or convention of any
party where he thinks he can reward
friend or punish an enemy.

western Investments.

In well.considered article, the Mime.
apolis Times. makes the point that there
is no greater risk in western than In east.
crn investments. The results of the last
twelve months show that the cast is not
more conservative than the west in the
matter of investments. A glance down
the list of stocks and bonds of eastern
railroads shows that there has been quite
as large shrinkage in values as there has
been in any kind of western investments.
Some western railroads are in bankruptcy,
i. is true; but, while they are western as
to location, they are eastern as to manage.
ment There is no greater shrinkage on
western than on eastern mortgages. The
tear of the eastern man for western real
estate investments is no. we'll grounded.
The potential wealth is still here, and as
soon as our government once more gets
on business basis-as soon as there is
little more craftsmanship manifested, and
little less condescension to the trusts, tho
west will arise as from sleep. - Mlndan

says: "a newspaper should give to its
party candidates the same support which
it receives from them. A man who does

should not expect the editor to waste over
$50 worth of space iu booming him for

OUR LAST SAY.
TO TIE PEOPLE OF EDWARDS
COUNTY.

This is the last issue of the GRAPHIC
before the election, and we have but
little to add. The campaign has been
of character never before known in
the history of the state, being an at
tempt to cover up the lack of political
argument by the smoke and buster of
vilIificatiOn. Mr.. Lewelling has been
subjected from the start to the most
contemplate system of INSCRIPTIONS
lying ever known. lie said in the
beginning that the object of the attack
was to induce him to devote his time
to personal defense instead of the peo-
ple's cause, and our great, big, warm
hearted, humanity-lOving governor
said, "No! If it is necessary that l
should ne sacrificed let it be so, but the
peoples cause shall triumph From
that time to now he has pursued the
even tenor of his way, the apostle of
the people and not of one man. The
course of events has fully justified his
wisdom, for though charges have been
made over and over again the total
absence of any evidence to sustain
them, and their entire failure when
called into court has caused them to
roll back and Overwhelm the party
instigating them.
Reader, do you think that what the
republican party has failed to estab
lish in a year they can prove in the
last week before election?
