Deserves Better.

Ex-Governor Shortridge has recently received all
appointment to the position in the Bismarck Land
Office made vacant by the resignation rof Joseph
DIETRICH. The x-Governor served the people faith
fully as their executive the past term, and they
wish him well. He retired from that post of honor
much poorer. financially that when he was .nau-
gura1ed. This. of course is something very unus,l-
al these days and is a lingering ray of Jeffersonian-
ism in American ~poiiticts. Now, while we dislike
the tempters sinuous ways, we would have another
trial made Of the Ex-Governor. Up at the Fort
Berthold Indian Agency for the next five years the
Indians there will draw $4,000 a year or about
$500, 600 in all. The present oficerssin charge, Cap
tain Clapp of the Army, w5 understand, does not
take kindly to his surroundings and would court a
change. That being the case, could not Senator
Roach, on behalf of an army of friends in this
State, suggest to- President Cleveland that the
man for that position at this time would be
Ex-Governor Shortridge. And if he succeeded in
resist ng the temptor at Bertllold as he did while in
the executive chair at Bismarck, he will be
e~ndy--well-fo Heaven.

"rHE PRESS OF PRESTON"

At the request of several gentle.
men prominent in the journalism
of this county, w. Scott Garner is
arranging to write some additional
chapters on the newspaper history
of old Preston, and thus bring his
"Press of Preston" up to date.
Ten years have elapsed since the
pamphlet was issued. ana during
that time considerable newspaper
history has been made in the county,
and it is the intention to put this
In shape for permanent preserva-
ton. Anyone interested in any of
the ten papers that have marked
the ten years just past, should pre-
pare such data as will secure an
accurate and reliable notice of the
paper, and forward the same to Mr..
Garner at Tuunelton, this county.
This matter will probably form a
chapter in the future history OF the
county, after newspaper publica-
ton, and no paper should fail to
have creditable Obituary" pre-
pared.

In 1885. Il. Il. Cnttenden, Jr.
son of Governor Uiittenden, and
now Clerk of Jackson county,
formed partnership with w. r..
Phister and opened real estate
office IN Kansas City. They adver.
tised for an Office boy and tho next
morning 10 boys answered the ad- :
vertisement. Mr.. Crittendon had
each boy sign his name and address
on a sheet of paper aud this he has
preserved carefully, lie showed it
to - reporter for the Star yesterday.
The next name to the bottom was
that OF Jesse X. James, written in a
round, boyish hand.
"Iy idea in having tho boys sign
the paper" said MIR. Crittenden,
''was to see who was the best writer.
When Jesse signed his name
looked at him IN surprise. lie was
neatly dressed, brlght-faced boy
OF about IL, with black hair and
eyes. | asked him IL his father was
dead and he said he was. | asked
him If his grandmother was Zereda
Samuels Of Clay county, and he
said yes. Then knew he was
Jesse James son. | said "Wcll,
Jesse, you see there are IL boys

at me sharply and replied IN

and told him to bring his mother
with hun the noxt day, and if she
was willing that he should work for

came the next morning and told mo
all about her circumstances. She
was paying S15 month rent and
had nothing but note for 5000
which would soon be due. | sold
the lot which she now lives on the
easiest terms and she built u house
on it and paid for it all"
Young Jesse II. James Is now II
tlmekeeper in Armour's packing
house and is an industrious, thrifty
good boy. lie wanted very much
to go to the Worlds Fair in 1888,
but he knew that the expenses
would be too much for him to spare.
A short time before, the manager
of the Libby Prison Museum had
writton TO Jesse and asked him il
he had any relies OF his father.
jesse had, and when MIR. Critten-
den went to the fair he delegated
him t. visit the museum manager
and mako dicker. The result
was that Jesse sold the manager an
old coat and belt and few other
things that had belonged to his
father. anu got more than enough
money from the sale to pay the
expenses of his trip to the fair.

USE OF LATIN by DOCTORS.

was leaning against the drug store
counter, "why doctor can't write

of Latin. Suppose / need some

pose he thinks that would be giving

rather I'D take his wisdom with q

with a grain of salt. Isn't that it2"
The druggist smiled and said:
"You got the same idea most peo-
pie have. You think, suppose,
that the doctor writes his prescrip.
tion in Latin so it can't be read so
easily--so the layman can't steal
his trade and learn what he is Civ.
ing him. But that's all wrong. In
the first place, Latin is more exact
and concise language than English,
and, being a dead language, does
not change, as all living languages
do.
"Then, again, since a very large
part of all the drugs in use are bo-
tanical, they have IN the pharmaco-
poeia the same names that they
have in botany-the scientific names
Two thirds Of such drags hayen't
any English names, and so couldn't
be written in English.
"But suppose a doctor did write
a prescription i'm English for an
uneducated patient. The patient
reads it, thinks he remem bers it,
and so tries to get it filed from
memory the second time. Suppose
for instance, it called for iodide oi
potassium, and he got 1t confused
with cyanide Of potassium. II,
could safely take ten grains Of The
first, but one grain of the second
