a Dramatic Suicide.

Another suicide at Winona, Emmons
county. North Dakota, is reported, the
victim being a social unfortunate, famil-
iarly known as Eva, Norwegian girl,
who came from Aberdeen short time
ago. The girl had been drinking pretty
heavily, and just prior to her death had
been quarrelling with some of the other
inmates of the house where she was stop
ping. She was sent up stairs to sober
up, and when next seen, stood at the
head of the stars, whisky glass filled
with carbollc acid in each hand. Calling
''good bye" to those below, she drained
both glasses of the powerful acid, in
quick succession. Twenty minutes after
she took the poison she was dead. She
seemed to suffer no pain, although the
acid was so powerful that where spilled
on her cheek, it burned the flesh, as
though with fire.

A Valuable Patent.

It has been known for some time that
the late Cant. William Farrell, q farmer
of this county, had patented before his
death, valuable invention, but the ex-
act value of the same has never baen
fully realized until recently. The patent
is steam wagon, the principle in which
is said to be applicable in other ma
chinery. Speaking of this, NJ B. Farrell,
a brother of the deceased inventor, states
that he has received lately several letters
from eastern firms endeavoring to nego-
tiate for the sale of the right. The prln-
clple involved in the invention Is evil
IDENTITY regarded as very valuable, as
figures estimating the value of the same
have been placed; by outside parties, as
high as $4,000 and 100000. A propo
sition involving $4,000 for the invention
was received last week from New York
firm, and the probabilities are that sale
will be made shortly.

Interrupted the Sermon.

An incident occurred at the opera
house Sunday, during the delivery Of
the memorial sermon, which has caused
considerable comment. Rev. Thomson.
in his remarks on liberty and intelll-
gence, and the public school system
which he said has practically sprung
into existence since the war of the re-
bellion, took occasion to speak of dan
ger which he thought WIS threatening
the public schools, from concerted ac-
ton on the part of "priest-
craft" who we're endeavorng to make
OF the public schools, sectarian institu-
tutions. Hardly had the words fallen
upon the ears of tine assembly when an
old &. A. r. veteran, Capt. VIM. Gleason,
arose and said II beg your pardon
comrades, but the gentleman is lying
and walked out. There was q rustic and
commotion as all eyes were turned to-
wards the retreating form Of the veteran,
but no farther incident OF the kind oc-
Cured during the discourse.

Wheat Moving Slowly.

Minneapolis Market Record: Unless
wheat prices fall in Minneapolis several
cents below where they are now,
compared with prices in other principal
markets, the supply OF wheat at the
beginning Of the next crop year promises
to be nearly as large as it was last year
in the northw west. The visible supply
at Minneapolis, Duluth and in the
interior is several millions bushels less
than it was then but the wheat is going
out Of sight more slowly. The wheat
shipments from Minneapolis and Duluth
80 far this month are only 3,550,277 bu.
against 6,7O9 ,23O bu. during the same
time last year. A large part of the
wheat 10 country elevators is owned by
millers and most OF. 1T in terminal ele-
vators is tied up in one way or another
by either being sold against for future
delivery or owned by millers. Still the
fact that prices here are as high as they
are in the east is mainly responsible for
the smaller shipments.

A Happy Event.

A very pleasant wedding was cele

hospital, Miss Lizzie Murry and Mr..
Henry Anderson beng the principals.
The bride has been one of the favorite
attendants at the institution for num-
ber of years, where she won the regard
of all. The groom also was employed
last winter, IN the same capacity, at the
institution, but has slpce established
himself in business at Fessenden on the

Mr.. and Mrs. H. Anderson, father and
mother of the groom, and his sister, Miss
Mary, for a short visit at the farm resi-
dence OF their parents. about 20 miles
from the city. Many handsome gifts

State Politics.

A recent comment in The Alert on the
republican state central committees
plan to pass on credentials of contestlng
delegates, to the state convention, is
held to be unfair by the Mandan
Pioneer, which views the question in
this harmless light:
This is the rule in the National Con-
vention, and surely that is good enough
precedent for the state committee to act
upon. Under the old system, when a
committee of credentials appointed by
the convention, had all the work Of
hearing contests, the actual work of the
convention would be delayed sometimes
for several days, awaiting the creden-
tial committee reports. Under the sys-
TEN now in vogue the state committee
meets before the convention, and when
the delegates get to the meeting place
they will find some at least OF the work
done for them. II, however, the con
ven,ion desires to hear the testimony

Good Prospects for Crops.

s. w. Mclaughlin OF Grand Forks,
was transacting business for the Alliance
Mortgage and Investment Co., OF which
he is a local agent in the Red river valley,
with Manager Wells Wednesday. Mr..
Mclaughlin says the crop in his county
has never been put in the ground in
better shape than it is this year, and
good prospects are ahead for a yield.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said: IF any one can
raise 80 cent wheat, North Dakota
farmers seem to think they can. \ good

ing indebtedness the past year, and while
they have little money at present, are in
better shape financially than they have
been for some years. II we get a good
crop this year at present prices We will
be all right.

and itself pass upon the credentials OF
the contestants, the convention has it
entirely within its own hands. Every
delegate, and every delegation have the
same rights and privileges today as ever.
But the theory ia that the delegates
have desire to get home as quickly as
possible, and generally they like to have
some OF the tedious work done for them.
According to the above, everything, it
it conform to the modern way Of doing
It, must be done to cut short the deliber-
ations of the convention and let the dele
gates get home as soon as possible.
The determination of who shall constl-
tute the convention, ordinarily seems to
be the most important part OF 1t, for
nothing can he done until the convention
is organized. Ordinarily the advance aid
OF committee in getting rid of tedious
routine work is acceptable to conven-
ton. But it is notorious that the pres.
ent circumstances make this work differ
ent IN Importance from that Of the
average convention, on account of the La
Moure faction, as opposed to the COM
mlttee that ousted the leader Ct that
faction from his seat in the counsels of
the committee. There is, therefore, no
unfairness in The Alert's comment that
under the notice the committee might
decide contests and virtually designate
what might be the majority OF partici-
pants IN the convention-wbo would
thereafter sail the ship to suit them
selves without much doubt.

A GLOBE TR0TTER.
Jamestown a Starting Point
for a Round the World
Trip.
A Sensational Incident in the
Opera House YeSter-
day.

W. W.Fisher, who for several months
past has made his home IN this city, has
gone on tour which will not end until
the globe has been circled. The trip, as
he planned it before his departure, will
occupy about five years. Leaving James
town, Tacoma was his first destination.
where he intended to secure a guide and
paraphernalia necessary for prospect
ing and exploring trip in British Colum-
bia, intended to last until early fall
about the first of September. A kodak
and notebook will be used on the trip
and it is not improbable that some
magazines will use some of his contribu-
tions, illustrated by the authors snap
shots.
Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands
will be the next point in his itinerary,
where the fall and winter months will be
spent. A year OR more, should every
thing be agreeable, will be spent ir that
delightful latitude among the islands of
the Pacific ocean. Australia and the
PHILIPPINE Islands-the latter region
made familiar to the northwest through
scientific researches and collections made
there by scientists employed by Menage,
the absconding Guarantee Loan swind-
ler of Minneapolis-and the Orient will
be leisurely traversed and then, after
short stay in the Mediterranean, Europe
seen.
While IN Switzerland. search will be
made for particular locality and edi
fee, description and location of which
he has, where was born a jamestown
young lady of considerable prominence.
As the knights in the middle ages, when
they started to the "wars," mad mission
or vow to perform, so Mr.. Fisher, after
several years of travel. will once again
have his thoughts turned back to James
town. where during his short stay he
made many warm friends, by securing a
photograph of the locality.
Mr.. Fisher is not novice IN globe
trottlng having spent three years IN
South America, where, in a sailing vessel
with small party of friends, be traversed
the Amazon for a thousand miles of its
length. Once has he been almost in
sight of the shores of Africa when his
ship, destined for Rio Janiero, was blown
out of its course by storm. He has
amassed a small fortune in the prin ting
and publishing business, formerly having
been a half owner in the firm of Marcus Il
Co. of Chicago, and now intends to enjoy
the fruits of his labor. He has always
been closely confined to his business en-
terprises and now that the opportunity
offers will take long needed relaxation
from the cares OF trade. Upon his
departure from this city his many friends
wished him most hearty "bon voyage"

Candidates for State Office.

Chairman Steel of the republican
county committee, will shortly call the
members together to decide upon the
date for holding the convention to select
II delegates to attend the Grand Forks
state convention. There are two candi-
dates for positions on the state ticket
from the county, who have already an
nounced their wishes in the matter to
their friends. These are F. B. Fancher
and s.. l.. Glaspell, the former desiring
the nomination for insurance commits
sioner, his old place on the ticket. Mr..
Fancner believes the republicans can
win this time and naturally desires to
recover, if elected, what he lost in the
land slide Of two years ago, as candi-
date for the same Office. Mr. Fancher is
making a canvass with this object in
view, and states that he is receiving
many encouraging promises from re-
publicans.
The Office sought after by States At
torney Glaspell on the state ticket is

derstood to be that of attorney general,
although his name has been mention ned
as candidate for Congressman John
sons shoes. What preliminary success
he is having in the matter The Alert has
not learned.
An uninstructed delegation is said to
be preferred by both the above named
candidates; but of course with majority
favorable to their interests. 1t is not
known whether the county will be en-
titled, in the consideration of the conven-
tion: 20 more than one important place
on the state ticket or not
So far the republicans of the county
have not had an opportunity to consider
any other names than the above as
representing the party from Stutsman
and jamestown, and 1t is not known
whether there will be any other names
for consideration or not The assembling
OF the convention will no doubt tend to
show something of the preference of the
republicans in this matter, and if Stuts-
man county gets place On the state
ticket it will be after the claims
of the candidates for the same have
had full consideration and approval.

gold excitement is on with renewed in
tensity, and a party Of 100 men are form
ing on the banks of the Missouri river to
visit the gold fields. They come in
squads from Yanktop, Jamestown, Moor
head, and other places, and expect to
leave early in June. The leader is Chris

scout and interpreter on the western
plains, the man who in single handed
combat with seven desperados at Sargent
City, Kansas, in February, 1873, killed
three Of them, shot an arm of another,
and induced the other three, by such
means, to abandon the contest. 1t is
expected also that about June 18th, a
party of ten companies Of the 7th cavalry
under General Custer, two sections of
artillery, under Lieut.. Chance, accom-.
panied by Lieut.. Grant and Gen. For

platforms from Two to three feet in

the farmers loaded from sn ordinary

making different size platform most
convenient. In all caees the board
recommended platforms accommodating
tho greatest number, believing it but fair
that the bonanza farmers. IL they could
not be accommodated by what suited
the majority, and the road was not
pleased to accommodate both, should
yield to the wishes Of those who were
not able individually to build what they
wanted. The style and size of platform
recommended by the board in the great
majority of theee cases, was an earth and
cinder platform, with timber eldes, earth
and clnder approaches, and of length
ranging from 12x32 feet to 12x64 feet.
Platforms of other sizes have also been
built, ranging from height OF one foot

under the law.
The number of complaints in the dis
elimination of freight rates we're received
and satisfactorily adjusted. Others, the
commissioners state, they have been un
able to adjust, owing to several reasons,
principally inattention on the part of
the companies and direct refusal. As a
whole, however, the relations OF the CON-
missioners to the railroads have been
more agreeable than usual, and the board
states that the companies have treated
them with courtesy and have been gen
orally ready to adjus. fairly all reasonable
differences and complaints.
The law does not give the board the
authority that 1t should; it curtails much
of their powers in the way of enforcing
legitimate complaints. It is apparent
that the board has done it's best to serve
the people and there has been no black
mailing of the railroads or attempted
sinching on the part OF the commissioners
for private gain. IN tais respect the
people of the state find that more
friendly spirit prevails amongst both the
railroad officials and the state officers
than for some time, and less cause for
prejudice, opposition and conflict with
the different interests, than ever before.
