Sandow wouldn't be in it. j. V. Ham.

talk, and when they got through telling
what they could do, he jumped up and
offered to wrestle with any one in the

Sorrento, produced Jay Hawker 2:144.
Individually Signo Vinces IS the highest
type of the light harness horse; almost
faultless in form, color and carriage.
with good bone and finished in elegant
style; his record of 2:274 was obtained
with little preparation. With less than
six weeks work he trotted mile in 2:2O.
His get are mostly solid colors and DOS
sess size and style with q natural speed
and are very desirable. Signo Vinces
last season right out Of the stud trolted
five heats at Davenport. Iowa, in 2.25
or better and one in 2:22. The next day
he trotted mile in 2:20; first half in

The Odd Fellows Ball.

The Odd Fellows Ball.
The Odd Fellows annual ball given
in the courthouse last Friday night was
attended BY thlrty.seven couples and a
right good time was enjoyed by all
those who attended. The floor was never
in finer condition, and the music
furnished BY Messrs. Stone, Enger,
and Hodge was first-class. The
dancers enjoyed themselves thoroughly
until supper time,. when the ladies of
the Rebekah lodge served fine lap
supper on pink celored shingles with
the three links of the order painted in
green in one corner. The dancers
made merrie until about a. M, when
Trey dispersed to their homes, having
had very fine time. Taking into
consideration the fact that there was
another dance in the country the same
evening and other things to draw
away the people, the dance was very
successful IN every particular, and the
ladies Of the Rebekah lodge have 4 few
dollars above expenses to place In their
robe fund.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
And Other Matters of Interest
to the Readers of the
Courier.

W. Az oS0AAAASAA oscyS % SAAs~Ae w
unable to attend the state central
committee meeting (of the populists).
In the future shall cast my lot with
the new single financial issue party
and hope that all the populists Of
North Dakota will do the same.
This step has the Endorsement of our
last candidate for our national chair
man, our national paper, every con-
gressman and senator we had in the
last congress unless PETER, and every
populist member in our present legis-
lature. These last before Feb. 22
sent a joint letter or petition to the
Washington convention, pledging
their support to the new party if it
should be formed, and the populist
press of North Dakota can answer
for it self. know very we'll the
veiws of most of it. We shall re-
main with the single-issue party aud
if all populists take that view we
can all remain together and work as
zealously as in the past, and have
much aid that has been opposed to
us-otherwise we will have to separ-
ate and needlessly divide and largely
tighten the populist vote in the fu.
ture. We are in the new party to
stay"
Further than this, Mr.. Standish
says that previous to the meeting Of
the St. Louis convention, Governor
Shortridge, Auditor Porter, Treasurer
Nomiand, and himself Joined in a
request to that body asking them to
adopted platform declaring for
single issue Of money. He also
states that. on this subject he has
corresponded with large number OF
North Dakota populists, and that out
of the whole number there are but
tour in the state that are not in favor
ofjoining with the new party. Those
four will naturally stay with the party
ifitgoes over to the new organiza-
ton, he says, as they are not the kind
of men who will 60 back to either oi
the old parties. His plan for 1896
is to leave the tariff fight 10 con-
gress, and for the new silver party to
nominate a president pledged to
sign any tariff bill congress passes,
but standing on the single issue OF
money.
On the other hand, S. M. Owen,
the Minnesota leader, says: "My
information is that the populists are
not embracing the ideas of the silver
party to any extent. Of course,
Standish is doing much agitating,
and naturally has some following, as
any man in such a position would,
but there is more noise than anything
else. From what I learn, no damage
has been done to our party in North
Dakota. AS for Minnesota, have
not heard single member advocate
the principles of the silver party, and
do not believe that it has any foot
hold here at ALL"

What Esau Hunted.

"About noon we saw a beast stand
ing ON q mountain top looking down at
us. When we saw 1t we thought that
1t was a camel. but Calinus said that
the beast was O rhinOceros or unicorn
It hath O horn set in the midst Of its
forehead. four feet long, and whatso-
ever 1t butts at 1t runs him through
and pounds him against the rocks. 1t
Is said by writer's on natural history
that they place a young virgin In bis
way. whereat he puts e~ay from him
oil his ferceness, and lays down his
head, and Is held thus entranced until
40 be taken and slain."
Thus wrote that delightfully."- naive
observer, Father Felix Fabri, who vis-
ited Sinai 400 years ago. Modern pill
grims who have followed In his foot
steps with their eyes open will at once
recognize that the animal he saw was
the bedan, or Sinaitic ibex, which gazes
down on passing caravans from the
cliffs which tower above their loute.
He Is seldom visible to them unless
his shapely figure happens TO be sill
houetted on the sky line. This wild
goat inhabits the mountains on either
side of the Red Sea and the steep gull
lies Of Moab. and is the only represen-
tative Of the deer or goat tribes in these
regions. Esau doubtless hunted 1t,
and those few sportsmen who have
followed his example will not be sur
prised that the uncertainties Of the
chase cost him his birthright.-The
Nineteenth Century.
