Gone Before.

Poignant sorrow prevails throughout the
city of Oakes over the death of Rev. G. E.
Balley and many long for the touch of that
vanished hand and the sound of voice
that is still.
Though all around seems going wrong,
He changes sadness into song;
And even in the darkest night
His presence makes our pathway bright.
While He is near,
Our souls in perfect peace have no fear.
His plans we may not understand,
But still we know that nail-torn hand,
Will guide Alright through Joy or pam;
For he DER all our lives doth reign.
AS Lord and Guido,
So in perfect peace may all abide.
A. B. HoAG.

erlng.

The county convention called to
elect delegates to the state conven-
ton at Fargo, met in Glendale on
Saturday, March 2lst, pursuant to
call. Chas. Ward, chairman of the
county central committee, called the
convention to order at II a. m.
After the appointment of a COM
mittee on credentials, consisting of
Chris. Gorder, P. M. Axtel and VIM.
Uecker, the convention adjourned
to l o'clock p. m.
At l p. m. the convention met and
elected Theo. Northrop permanent
chairman and R. w. Farrer secreta-
~. The committee on credentials
reported on delegates present and
also recommended seating as dele
gates representative men present
from precincts not represented by
regularly elected delegates, The re-
port was adopted and Chas. Nichols
was given q seat US delegate with
privalege OF casting four votes for
Norway township.
The convention now proceeded to
elect delegates to the convention at
Fargo. After eleven delegates had
been elected Mr., Cook, from the
west part of the county, came in and
was given seat as a delegate.
Mr.. Cook then nominated Mr.. Home
dew and that gentleman was elect
ed the 18th delegate to Fargo.
The complete list of delegates is
as follows
Uhas. Ward Chris. Gorler
7. F. Marshall j, VanMeter
M. 81. Puffer w. A. Caldwell
B. V. Apfeld John Kennedy
Melton Tousley F. S. Goddard
w. p. Farrar H. B. Homedew
Mr.. Ward then introduced the
following resolutions which were
adopted with much enthusiasm:
Resolved that the Republicans of
Dickey county are opposed to leav.
ing the management of National
affairs in the hands of a party which
has converted thousands of factories
into dwelling places for bats and
thousands of workmen into idleness;
that has driven thousands of mer-
chants into bankruptcy and thous-
ands of farmers into debt and dis
pair.
We favor an American admins
tration, protection to American peo-
BILE and American industries; mon
ey system that allows the free inter-
change of gold, silver and paper at
par. and an international agreement
that shall secure such conditions
permanently.
We are opposed TO allowing loby-
lists the privalege of the Legislative
halls.
Mr.. Hines, the Old boy in blue,
moved that the republicans of Dick
ey county favor Mr.. Mckinley for
president of the United States. A
rising vote being called every person
responded with enthusiasm.
On account of the very disagreebie
weather and still worse roads the at
tendance was naturally light, only
ono delegate from the east side of the
James River being present. That
one was Mr.. Gorder, the delegate
from Oakes, and he went around by
way of South Dakota, making trip
of about 200 miles.

Chairman Jones of the Popocratic

mittee is broke" and adds: 'That
is our normal condition" 1t is
the normal condition of the cam
paign which the committee has been
trying to run. That is as badly broke
as it's treasury. 1t has no assets in the
confidence of the people. They have
been disturbed and alarmed by the
shock to business and credit which re-
suited from the performance at Chica-
go. They have been disturbed and
alarmed by the wild and wicked
utterances of the Boy Orator and
his aiders and abetters. They are
afraid of Populism, sectionalism and
anarchy They do not intend TO
trust the government of this coun-

and such ways of uttering them as
have the leaders of the Boy campaign.
And they feel sure that the chief Boy

Broke is the word. And when a
concern is without either money or
credit it is apt to stay broke"

ItENOrTNdTED.

Two years ago there was a Republic
can nomination for judge of probate
going around New Haven with a lam
tern in the daytime looking for some
body loyal enough to the Republican
party and Indifferent enough to his
own comfort and convenience to take
it. 1t ran across Livingston W.
Cleaveland on the postoffice steps, and
then and there put out its lantern, it's
search having come to a satisfactory
end Mr. Cleaveland found thefpath of
duty the way to glory and a fair COM
pensation. This year the nomination
would not have had to go about with
a lantern in the daytime, but it was
felt that the man who took it when
there was no visible prospect of his
election should have it now when the
prospect of his election is as noticeable
as a stone bruise on the heel of bare
footed boy. So he was nominated
without dissent. His nomination was
the due reward of party loyalty and
careful and conscientious attention to
the duties of his important office.

The selection of a design for a. Cana
dian flag is stlll an interesting topic to
citizens of the new Dominion. A re-
cent suggestion comes from resident
of Toronto who advocates the placing
of single large white fleur-de-lis up
on the fly of the red or blue ensign of
Britain. He refers to the feur- lis
aus the emblem of old France-France
as 1T was in 1759-France when 1t pos
sessed and governed Canada"-and his
idea is to commemorate by this mon-
archical emblem the French Canadian
part in the scheme of confederation
In the Union Jack" he says, "are the
combined symbols of England, Scot
land and Ireland; their sons want moth
ing more. Let us now place on our
British ensign the insignia of France of
the eighteenth century, out of graft
tude and respect for her sons and their
descendants, who did so much and so
we'll for La Nouvelle France, and have
so recently shown that they are ready
to do as much and aswell for our grand
common country-Canada."

the women straight who order arms.
1t Is much more than likely that they
will order somthing that they have no
right to use. For instance, one woman
will ask to have her paper engraved
with the full coat of arms, and another
will want only the crest. Now wo-
man has no right to use either. She
cannot properly use the crest alone, be-
cause that was the distinguishing SYM
Dol of the leader of a band In time of
war. Women did not go to war, conse-
quently women cannot use crest now.
Women cannot properly use the full
coat of arms, because that carries with
it the crest. Neither can a woman
have her arms properly blazoned on
the regular shield. She must use a loz-
enge to contain her arms. Then. too,

longer supposed to be propriety or
modesty that keeps a woman out of a
short skirt when such ought to be
worn, but it is supposed that the wo-
man has ruined her figure by bad car
riage, and that she cannot stand with
out being out in front and in at the
back" as a frank saleswoman put it.
The woman who stands WELL no matter
how thin or how fat she may be, looks
her best in an ankle skirt. AS for the
woman with big feet, she looks worse
with a long skirt all held up than she
does with a frankly short skirt.
With so much of a departure as to
the skirt, it might be supposed that the
designers would be content to have the
bodice altogether conventional, but
how far from the truth this is may be
judged by the accompanying picture.
This bodice fastened with military
frogs, and had entirely novel revers.

cloth. White satin lined the bodice,
and black satin gave the folded collar

THE VIEW THING ON THE GREEN

THE NEW THING ON THE GREEN
The more we see of the new band
stand on the old Green the more we are
impressed by it. 1t is almost done
now, SO that a tolerably clear idea of
what it will be when it is all done can
be formed. 1t is a beauty, or perhaps
to speak more correctly, a ''beaut" 1t
looks some like an impaled pagoda 1t
also looks some like one of the huts
supported by a post which were pic
tured in the old Biographies and were
said to be the homes of very savage
savages. AS we have before intimated,
it also looks some like a platform on a
warship. And when there is band on
it in full operation it can be imagined
to look some like bandstand
But never mind now how the new
bandstand looks. 1t will not look any
better by being more looked at. What
we wish to call special attention to is
the consistency of the thing Awhile
ago there was a demand for more ac-
connmodat ton for the people who wait
for the fiery chariots at the corner of
Church and Chapel streets. 1t was
plausibly argued by some friends of
the people that a light and airy can
opy could be put over a corner of the
Green in such a way as to protect folks
and not materially damage the sacred
grass. Other friends of the people went
into historic and town-born Mysteries
and took solemn and ridiculous oaths
that there should be no canopy on the
Green, and that not one blade of the
sacred grass should be smothered in
concrete sheet asphalt or anything like
that. There is no canopy on the Green
at that corner, and none of the sacred
| grass there has been overlaid But 10
and behold, right in the lower middle
of the Green, right in front of Center
church and right in front of the crypt
that contains so much of the best part
of the town born there is a canopy.
And under that canopy some of the
sacred grass has been overwhelmed,
concealed and slain by concrete, sheet
| asphalt or something of that kind.
And there is no protest, no ululation,
no taking of solemn and ridiculous
| oaths.
What means this silence? Is New
] Haven no longer New Haven, and is

the grass of the Green no longer sa-
cred? Is it thought proper that the
view from and of Center church shall
be obscured by such a thing as that
which has been hitohed to the flagpole
of the free and the town born? And If
nobody will answer these questions will
somebody tell us how the new band
stand is to be impaled by new flag
pole when the old one is rotten?
