We have not been suffering mucl. more
severely than the people Of these nations,
II the press reports can be relied upon,
aud silver agitation in these countries
has not been sufficiently extensive to
have produced such results. II the con-
dition under which We are suffering was
peculiar to this country Mr.. Atkinson
would have an argument that it would
be worth while for silver men to meet, as
it is, there is no force to such conten-
tion.
1t seems to me the vital question upon
which we as voters need to inform our
selves is: Has closing of the mints to
silver depressed prices? or, IN other
words, increased the value OF gold and
made its purchasing power greater? 1t
is impossible to prove to the satisfaction
all men that either side OF this propo-
sition 10 true, because it is quite largely
question Of judgment or opinion.
Suppose that Stutsman county we're the
whole United States, or the world for
that matter. The county starts out to
coin silver and gold into money, declar-
ing this money and this alone to be
legal tender for debts. The county goes
on for hundreds Of years coming all gold
ard all silver into money, aside from
that used 10 the arts, the value
of each at the established ratio
being about equal. The products of the
mines about keep pace with the increase
of population, and the needs of the peo-
pie. At given time the county ceases
to coin one Of these metals, and there
after the addition of coined money each
year is only about one half az great per
capita as it had formerly been. There
might not he and probably would not be
any immediate effect from such change,
but as the population increased and
their money needs increased, the scarcity
of debt paying money would begin to be
felt and with this condition would come
falling prices. do not see that there
could be any other result. II after free
coinage Of silver stopped the county 10
creased the production of gold per capita
to an extent equal to the former produc-
ton Of both gold and silver then such
result could not follow, but il the addi-
tion Of coined money per capita to the
stock OF the county did not keep pace
with the growth in population an effect
upon prices must follow. s5
LIDO not think that Mr.. Atkinson will
convince any one OF the truth Of his
argument by calling people natural
FOOLS, CONDEMNED fools" or "free silver
'unatics." There is no argument IN
vituperstion, and the people Of the
northwest are not caught by such
epithets. They may be wild anc woolly
but they can appreciate business stu
alton as we'll az the doctrinairs of the
east. H. NJ. TABER.

CoPIous SHOWERS.
Bright Wheat Prospects,
Acreage Decreased
Nearly One-fifth.
Railroad Car Accountants En-
Route Home From At
tending Convention.
From Mondays Daily.

Another good rain has fallen today
coming from the east and promising to
wet the ground all that is needed, for
the growing crops. Much of the grain
is seeded and up already and will Of
course get great benefit. The weather
is excellent for stooling, and for the
roots to get we'll started.
There have been sufficient rains this
spring at the right time for the most ex-
acting farmer. March and the early
part of April were dry and dusty, but
rains since then have fallen and fully
repaired what slight damage may
have been done to the earliest sowed
fields by the blowing out of seed.
There will be decided decreased
acreage in wheat in this part Of the state
and generally throughout the state. It
is estimated by careful farmers from
observations in their immediate neigh
borhoods that the decrease will be from
Is to 90 per cent IN wheat, and large
increase in flax Few farmers last fall
hired any help to plow, neither this
spring, and the land put in has been
only what the farmers themselves and
their own families could manage.
The grain is also about cleaned out of
every farm granary. Little was left for
seed and that is now gone into the
ground. The remainder of the crop has
been sold from time to time to pay bills
and the low price has taken all the crop
to get enough money for the above re-
quirements. The new crop will find the
farm granaries of North Dakota empty.
The present advancing price is not
wholly due to speculation il this fact
about the amount of wheat IN the pro-
ducers' hands, is taken into consideration.

MINNEWAuKAN DESTROYED.
A Fire This Morning Wipes
Out the Capital Of Benson
County.
Many Families and Business
Firms Lose all Their
Property.

A disastrous fire started Wednesday in
Minnewaukan, at about two a. m. and
swept away the entire business portion
OF the town. The fire is said to have
originated in some oil and waste in the
rear Of Mathers general store. There
was no water protection and the utmost
efforts to extinguish the flames were un.
ava,ling. The Northern Pacific depot
caught fire, but was saved by the efforts
Of the section men and only received q
slight scorching. The houses and stores
on the main business street are about all
destroyed and information sent to ,nsur-
ance companies states that most OF the
losses are total. It is supposed that the
fire was of an incendisry origin. Total
value OF buildings burned over $35,OOO.
The following is list of building
losses:
J.J. Gearey's store and dwelling.
Cubblnson's drug store.
Mrs. Browns house.
Mathers' store.
Thomas &'Pearson's harness shop and
insurance office.
Plummer's general store.
G. F. Plummer'e machine shed.
Benson County Bank.
North Dakota Siftings printing estab-
lishment.
Real estate and loan Offices owned by
Richmond & Son.
Two barns and several sheds.
Several families who lived in upper
stories OF business house lost all their
household effects
The insurance is said to be largely
inadequate to repair losses. Some of
the insurance is as follows: Plummer's
stock. $4,000 loss, insurance $4,5OO;
Benson County Bank, loss 81 500, iDsur-
ance $500; the Siftings newspaper, loss
$500, insurance $3.50; Msthers' loss about
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.

Applied TO the Secretary of War.
Private McElroy, the Ft. Buford
colored soldier, who was IN the city
Thursday, was not averse to talking about
himself and the trial. He was glad to
get off of course. He did not want to
have any further trouble at the fort. He
has always had more or less trouble with
First Sergeant Shropshire, also colored,
who, ne says, likes to display his
authority. The sergeant was formerly
slave. Mr.. McElroy says, has served IN
the United States army 81 years and
would haye been retired two years ago,
but for his character. He is now about
60 yearsof age as trlct discipinarian and
makes the private ''soldier" to suit him
or there is war According to testimony
produced at the trial it was learned that
this sergeant has been court.martialed
several times for various minor otfenses
and does not bear an over good reputa-
ton. McElroy secured the displeasure
of this officer and an attempt WAS made
to fasten the crime of the death of the
post tailor on him. He was arrested soon
after the murder and spent a week in
Jail pending an investigation by the post
officers. Later on he was again placed
IN the guard house where he lay for
over a month. The military authorities
at the post we're unable to secure evil
dence sufficient to hold him and for the
second time be was released. In February
he was again arrested, this time by the
civil authorities, and taken to Bismarck
Here he was given considerable freedom
and was not closely confined.
He said he enlisted for term of three
years, two of which have been served at
Ft. Buford. An application for a trans
fer to another post has been sent to the
secretary of war at Washington. II this
is not granted he has the privilege Of ap-
plying to the president OF the United
States, the last resort He left this
morning over the jamestown and North
ern to report at the fort-but not for
duty.

Atkirson's hammer rest.

Editor Of the Alert: The question OF
restoring silver to it's former position in
the currency of this country, ia one of
great importance and as the American
voter will undoubtedly be called upon in
the near future to express his views on
this question, be is under obligation to
inform himself as opportunity to do so
offers.
Mr.. Atkinson OF Boston, Mass, is
endeavoring to educate the people OF
the northwest upon this question and
in an article furnished the "Record" of
Chicago, and copied in the journal" of
Saturday, April 9th, he says: "The
test Of true money is the hammer. If
gold coin be placed upon the anvil or in
the melting pot and reduced to bullion,
it is worth as much after it is hammered
smooth or melted as it purporte to be
worth in the coin. II silver be hammered
!, smooth or melted, it is worth only half
as much as it purports to be worth in
CON-"
Would this be true if silver was
treated at the mirts as gold IS? II its
use as money we're taken from gold and
some other metal substituted (silver for
instance) as the only metal to be coined
into money by the great commercial
nations OF the world, would the "hammer
teet" still show gold to be Of superior
value? TO what use would gold be put
to maintain it's price? It seems plain
that the present position Of the two
metals in bullion form would be reversed
and the "hammer test" would then give
us go cent dollars" in gold. It is
evident that the use Of gold and silver
as money gives these metals their value
to a very large extent, and to cripple the
use of one of these metals as money and
then apply the "hammer test" and ex-
pect the crippled metal tc hold up Is like
starting two men of equal strength IN
race, and after breaking the leg of one,
expect him to come out even with his
competitor.
Here is another OF Mr.. Atkinson's
propositions: In the effort to put this
country upon the single standard Of q
SO cent dollar. these men-referring to
advocates of free coinage suddenly
brought doubt and discredit upon the
nation. Constructive enterprise stopped.
Hundreds Of thousands of people, who
ordinarily we're engaged in construction
work, were discharged for lack OF credit.
Prices we're forced below the cost of
production and for two years the coun.
try has paid the penalty Of this deluslon
of cheap money and the silver craze"
In this argument, Mr.. Atkinson holds
the silver agitation alone responsible for
the industrial and commercial depres-
sion Of the past two or three years.
What has caused this industrial trouble

Railroad Rumblines.

Nine car loads of young cattle for the
ranges beyond the Missouri river went
through last night.
Charlie Woodruff OF Fargo, has gone
to Bismarck, to take the position. Of
night man on the steam shovel.
The way freight pulled out this morn
ing for Fargo with 81 cars and a passen-
ger coach. Railroad business on this
division has improved very much the
past month.
A work train left Monday for Bis
marck to begin the work Of filling IN
the big trestle approach to the bridge
over the Missouri river. Conductor
Brown was IN charge of the train.
". G. Ohr, formerly assistant Northern
Pacific agent at LsMoure, was in James
town lest evening. He went. to Buffalo
this morning where he will visit friends
for few days before proceeding to Bis
marck where he will take similar posi-
tion with the company.
Puget Sound Mail Na Conner, Wash. J:
During the past month % carloads of
potatoes and one carload of onions were
shipped from Walla Walla via the
Northern Pacific to points in the east.
This has about drained that section of
the country of that commodity. Several
carloads we're also shipped from Dayton
and Waltsburg over the came lines.
Freight No. 55 will leave Fargo at 5 p.
m. instead of 4:3O p. m. as heretofore.
1t will arrive in this city at II p. m. as
before. This change has been made by
Supt. Wilson in order to give passen-
gers arriving at Fargo on freight No. 54
more time in that city; also to insure a
more uniform departing time as the
running Of second section of freight No.
So renders it impossible to get 55 out
at 4:30.
A Aspecial train went east Monday noon,
carrying members and their wives re-
turning from the Goth annual conven-
tion Of the International association of
Car Accountants held at San Francisco,
Cal. The train was composed Of Wagner
coaches and was magnificent in equip
ment. It was said to be the best train
run through California since President
Webb Of the Wagner Car company went
through IN his celebrated train.
The party was in charge Of F. NJ. Luse,
superintendent OF the Chicago and
North. Western car service, and nothing
looking to the convenience OF the travel
lers seemed to be lacking. There were
l25 in the party, many of whom we're
ladies. The train, which consisted Of a
baggage car, Chicago and North
Western buffet parlor car, the Northern
Pacific diner, Arlington, and six Wagner
parlor coaches, left Chicago April 9Th.
The route lay through Iowa, Nebraska
and Colorado to New Mexico, Arizona
and California, nine days being occupied
in making the trip. Four days were
spent in San Francisco, including the

Governor All,n has appointed ex-Sena-
tor Lyman r. Casey of Jamestown, and
Wm. H. Rowe of Monango, Dlckey
county, members of the executive relief
board. to act with himself in the sup
preston of the Russian thistle. Both
these gentlemen are we'll informed in the
matter OF Russian thistle. and the ap-
pointments are made with view to the
energy and efficiency of the appointees
to aid in stamping out the pest. The
executive relief board are directed by the
law to have their determinations and
directions printed, with such rules and
regulations as they see fit. and are to
forward at least twenty copies to the
auditor Of each county 10 the state, as
we'll as to each newspaper. They may
also determine upon special methods,
whenever they deem wise, and may at
any time change or modify their rules.
Their determinations are to have the
full force of law; they are to have con-
troll and direction of all operations con-
tenplated for the extermination of the
thistle, and they have sole control of the
expenditure of money, to be used for this
purpose.
They have also power to order the
work Of destruction to begin in any
county in the state, and if the work is
not promptly begun, they may cause 1t
to be begun themselves, and have the
cost paid by the county.
In short, the board in question, are
the custodians of the $4,000 appropra.
ton, aid are the general supervisors OF
the work OF destroying the thistle in this
state. They will have a meeting as soon
as possible, and arrange for the begin
ming Of the work.

with view of renting them. Most Of
the land has been broken once and gone
back to weeds, and nothing but expense

has plenty Of faith in the increase in
value Of North Dakota land, and is not
afraid to invest more money in improve
