vote and said that the eyes OF not
only men but woman and children
in this state were turned upon this
assembly. He thought Senator
Gregory was wrong in saying that
no man who had thoroughly inves-
tigated this question could honestly
vote against resubmission. This be
wanted to emphatically deny; he
wanted to say that he honestly be-
lieved thM his vote against resub-
mission was vote for right, and
he believed others who would vote
against this resolution were just Is
honest as those who voted for it.
He wanted to emphatically deny
tina, there was at present a saloon
in every town in N orth Dakota and
he didn't believe that this was a
proper place IN which to discuss
the responsibility of the Republican
party for the continuance of prohi'
bition. That should have been
done at the state convention. Sen
ator Burke said that he had voted
"Aye" on this question because it
was well known when this part of
the constitution was adopted, it
was not done by majority of voters,
but small plurality of voters upon
this question. 1t was also we'll
known that unless majority of the
people of the state are in favor of
this law it can not be enforced. If
when the question can be submit
ted to the voters, majority were
in favor of it, then the law would
remain and there might be some
hope of enforcing it. Violation of
this law bred disrespct for other
laws.
Senator Sorley said he was one of
those who voted against the resolu-
ton two years ago, but now he
thought we should no longer deny
the people the right to decide for
themselves. If prohibition had not
originally carried the prohibitionists
would have kept coming here I'M
til they got another chance to vote
on it; as prohibitionist himself he
would have done so; therefore he
would vote to give other people the
the same right as he claimed
for himself, therefore he would
vote "Aye'.
Senator Stevens said in Dickey
county they had plenty of saloons
before prohibition. Now they have
prohibition that does not prohibit
with both open saloons and blind
pigs in that county. LaMoure
county has nearly the same. Here
in Bismarck were open saloons and
open gambling. He believed the
law had done good throughout the
state. Strom denied that there were
open saloons in Trail county and
said there never had been since the
law had passed. Blind pigs were
few and far between.

are permitted to make this extract: Il
have no hesitation in recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While l was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives juno
ton she was brought down with pneu-
monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms OF coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended DIR.

results. Trial bottles free at e l

Having the needed merit to more
than make good all the advertising
claimed for them, the following four
remedies have reached phenomenal
sale. DR.. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, colds and coughs, each
bottle Observation-Disclosures Bitters the
great remedy for liver, stomach and
kidneys. Bucklen's Arnica Salve, the
best in the world, and DR.. Kings New
Life Pills, which are a perfect pill. All
these remedies are guaranteed to do
just what is claimed for them, and the

One OF those rare opportunities for un-
reasoning enjoyment which bring men
and women back to the simplicity Of child
hood once more, and tones up impaired
and jadid fancy into the bubbling enthusi-
asm OF youth will be afforded at Mason's
opera house, Saturday evening. when the
bright comedy "Our Flat" will be pre-
scented by Miss Emily Bsncker and q
strong company OF comedians. Criticism
is dissrmed in the presence OF the people
who live in "Our Flat" and one uncon-
sciously falls into the humor of the situa-
ton and lives but to laugh. The situa-
tons are by no means strained dealing as
they do with phase of housekeeping in q
modest way by recourse to housekeeping
on the installment plan. In this is found
the basic thought for the comedy. The
exploiting OF triaes light as air that go to
make up the daily life of man and wo-
man struggling with fate in the presence
of the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-
maker and the monthly installment due
on the furniture, creates many startling
and funny situations. 1t proves lesson
to young housekeepers, should the OBJ
durate installment man descend upon the
furniture, in the knowledge OF drsperies
and their artistic arrangement. The stage
looks like a section of the Ladies Home
Journal after Msrgery Sylvester, repre-
sented by Miss Bancker, utilities -four
barrels, tomato cans, clothes hore, boxes
and "sich" in lieu of the furniture.
Chas. +. Nye, Of Walla Walla, is in the
city as witness in the Edmlston trial.
Mr.. Nye is one of the commissioners OF
the state penitentiary and with respect
to the vacant wardenship he says the APP
pointment was deferred, at the request Of
Governor McGraw, until the session OF
the board IN March, when the new war
den will be named. "The endorsements
OF d. w. Simmons for the position" con-
tinued Mr.. Nye, "are OF the very highest
character, in fact are the strongest of any
candidate now in the field, and Mr.. Sim
mons seems to stand well in all quarters.
OF course cannot say on whom the ap-
pointment will fall but the credentials OF
Yakima's candidate will receive most
careful consideration.
Judge Sol Smith, OF Goldendale, who
came to Yakima last week to render a
decision in the Ahtanum water cases,
left on Sunday without favoring the upper
valley settlers with any opinion. His
reason was, lack OF desired evidence in
the matter, and it is not known when he
will be in possession of the facts he re-
quires.
Myron II. Ellis, whose ailment took
turn for the worse on Tuesday, was much
better last evening. However, he IS q
very sick man-much to the regret ard
sorrow of his many friends.

ed letter to Senator Squire ON the sub
ject of Washington's portion of the APP
preparation for surveys. The share Of
this state is $4,000, but one clause in
the act provides that it shall be applied
to lands outside the limits of railroad
grants. Fully half the petitions for sur
veys come from settlers within the rail-
road grants and the surveyor general asks
Senator Squire TO use his efforts at the
interior department to have the law so
modified as to make portion of the APP

her, but two bottles of DIR. Kings New
Discovery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers

from a dreadful cold, approaching Con-
sumption, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DR.. Kings
New Discovery and in two weeks was
cured. He is naturally thankful. 1t is

The Hardwick Gazette gives the
following sensible advice to its cor
respondents:
A habitual and continual blunder
made by newspaper correspondents is
in SAYING that certain event will
take place "on the evening of Jan.
22nd." Simply say s'next Tuesday
evening when it is next week, and
if subsequent TO that give the day Of
the week and month In no case
leave cut the day of the week and in
all cases leave out "on." 1t is rel
ic Of barbarism. Spell out all names
of states when the name of the town
does not come before them, and all
given names of persons. Write ii
Charles and George" instead of
"Chas. & Geo." Don't use the char
acter & except In joining firm names.
Begin every senteuce with capital
letter and end it with plain period.
Don't make an advertisement of no
tice of an entertainment Leave out
the price of admission. Don't use
your position to reward friends Oh
punish enemies Tell the plain truth
as concsely and in as few words as
possible. Write plainly, remember
that blevity is the very soul of viii
and don't compel the editor to "ix il
up or to 'swlite it over TO suit Your
self" That's all now.

THE BACON INSURANCE.
Letter From Messrs. walker 81 Holden.
BELLOWS FAILS, VT. Jan. 23, 1895.

Letter From Messrs. walker a. Holden.
BELLOWS FALLS, VT. Jan. 23, 1895.
EDIToG SfrER.
Dear Sd' n since c. T.. Bacon's
property was consumed by fire several
articles have appeared in the SuprEn re-
gardlng the Insurance on the same.
We had intended to keep ont of print,
but your last issue contained an article
so misleading that we feel it our duty to
give tue facts 10 HE public.
NJ. Bacou's Insurance expired Jau. lst.
Previous 10 That date we wrote him, aud
he says he received The letter, asking him
if we shoqlt renew the Insurance As
we received no reply to o,r letter,
and as he he'd prevUnir iu mated
fthat we ncedno renew unless 50 drcct-
ed by him, we did not renew tho inst
rance. January Sd, The day following
the fire, we received letter from MIR,
Bacon, dated Jan ?, III which he express
ed the 'hope tlIat we had renewed the in
surance. Jan. 9TH, three days after tie
/ fire. we received letter from Mr.. Ba.
con purporting to have been written Dec.
IS, in which he directed US TO renew the
insurance. The posmark, ON the face
OF the envelope, is very mdi.tiuct, so in
distinct, in fact that we are unable to
determine whether it was made with the
stamp used before the fire OF with the
stamp used since the fire, and we have
envelopes with each posmark, Tie re-
verse side of the envelope. however, tells
the story. The SO. Londonderry post
mark is distinct aud shows the letter to
have been received at thai office Jan. f.,
I o'clock, p. m. The Bellows Falls re-
ceiying stamp distinctly shows the letter
was received at that office Jan. 3, three
days after the fire.
Now if Mr. Bacon mailed that letter
Dec 2S; and he has stated to US, IN the
presence of Witnesses, that, as postmas-
ter, he personally did so, where was it
from that time until Jan. 4, when it
was received at So. Londonderry We
are credibIy in ,ormed that il does not
ordinarily take seven days for a letter 10
make the journey from North to South
village by U. S. Mail.
We think these facts, Of which we have
undoubtcd proof, should convince anyone
that the fault, if any, does not rest with
us.
In regard to C'S statement that Mr..
Walker had the letter with him When in
Londonderry we would say that the STATE
ment is untrue. The letter has not left
our Office since it was received. We shall
be pleased 10 have anyone inspect it and
see for themselves that we speak the
huth.
we are very sorry for Mr. Bacon but
should we commence to insure property
after ii had bdrned we think that branch
of the business would soon require our
entire attention.
There are other circumstances which
substantiate the statements made herein.
Respectfully,
WALKER & HOLDEN.

Shall the town be party to and
share in the profits Of 4 legalized liq-
uor traffic is a question that will be
brought before the people at the an
nual town meeting, when a motion
will be made 10 discontinue the town
| liquor agency. 1t is TO be hoped that
every voter will give tue matter q
thorough consideration before the
meeting so that he can cast his vote
in favor of pure morals and for the
highest good of the town. If this is
done there will be no doubt about the
result, the town saloon will 60, as it
ought to, and men and women, whose
standard of right is not gauged by
the almighty dollar nor by the opin-
ions of the rabble, will stand up clean:
handed before their maker aud their
fellows.
In order that this matter may be
well brought before the people prior
to the fifth day of March the SITTER
solicits exp plessions from any-men
or women who can put their thoughts
or ideas in condensed readable
shape-=no spun out theories-facts
pithilv stated is good enough for the
