A Big Demonstration.

The Towne clubs parade and demon
stration at Duluth Saturday is described
as being the biggest political event ever
seen in Duluth. The Herald says there
were 1000 people IN line. against 400 in
the gold standard parade OF the week
preceding. The enthusiasm was very
great. The meeting was held in big
street car barn, which could not hold
over half the parade, which was a mile
in length. The demonstration was for
Bryan, Towne and Lind. Several rows
of seats were reserved for the Union vet
erans who bore two banners on which
was: I'VE helped to free the blacks; We
will help to free the whites;" "16 Union
veterans for silver to for gold"
Among the other devices we're:
"Dollar of our daddles.':
"We lead; let Europe follow"
"More silver. more money; more mon
ey, more work."
"Government by injunction don't CO."
I'VE will tell Hanna how to vote"
As an indication OF the result this fall
in that district, where special fight is
being waged against Congressman Chas.
Towne by the gold bugs. the demonstra-
ton Is highly satisfactory to tie silver
men. Describing the event the Herald
says:
The whole length of the parade there
was a striking contrast between the
rousinR reception 1t received and. the
frost through which the parade last
week was forced to travel All along
the sidewalk there we're colored fires
and Roman candles sputtering merrily,
and the parade made striking appear
ance coming through the crowds Of the
people and the glare of the fireworks.

benefit to the companies than to the

The tactics OF the Mckinley club OF

name in all the papers 90 there can be
no recsntlng; catch the doubtful fellows,
employees Of gold men, at q time when
they dare not refuse to sligo the pledge.
They see that the growth of the silver
sentiment is likely to take away halt

down.

Gun WAS LOADED.
EIvis Heath Injured by the
Accidental Discharge of
a Shot Gun.

Elvis Heath OF Montpelier was
brought to the city Tuesday with an ugly
gunshot wound in bis leg and arm the
result OF carrying loaded Run on his
hay wagon. Dr.. DePuy was called and
soon the patient was resting easy at the
home of Russell Heath, but it will be
after harvest before be will be able to 20
to work again.
This morning, about 10 O'Clock, Mr..
Heath and bis neiehbor, Knud Wig,
With whom be had been putting up hay
on Mr.. Wigs place, we're bound to Mr..
Heath's farm at Montpelier. They had
an extra horse tied at the SIDE of the
wagon. Mr.. Heath was carrying load
ed shot gun in his lap and, when cross
Ing the James river on the bridge at
Montpelier, reached out with his hand
to hold in check the lead horse. As
be did 80 the gun by some means was
discharged with the result aforemen-
toned. A large piece of hesh was torn
from the inside Of the left leg, just above
the knee, and the charge lodged 10 the
left wrist Mr.. Heath walked to his
house and as soon as rig could be Sc
cured, was brought to the city shortly
after noon by Mr.. Wig. The wounds
were we'll bandaged and excessive loss
of blood prevented.
Mr.. Heath is not fatalist but this
year he has been ''playing in hard luck"

An Unselflsh Act.


The Alert desires TO call attention in
words Of commendstjon and praise to q
generous deed OF q Stutsman county
farmer. L. F. Wright, who is lying sick
at this time with typhoid fever, took a
contract from H. M. Tsber to harvest
100 acres of grain at Parkhurst. Two
weeks ago Mr.. Wright became i'll and
was unable to 60 Oh with the contract.
At this junoture George Birks, apprecl.
ating the fact that Mr.. Wright had q
wife and four small children dependent
upon his labor for support, stepped in
and assumed the contract, with the un-
that the entire proceeds
should 60 to Wright. We are glad to
mention this generous act in contrast
With the act of the malicious dog who
destroyed the binder belonging to Mr..
Wright, which was being used for the

Postal Changes.

A number Of changes are talked of
west Of here in the postal service; also
that the line will be raised to full rail-
way mail service--probably about Sept.
/. This means an agreeable raise in
salaries and few changes in personnel. /.
This will consist in the advancement of
clerks one grade each who run west from
jamestown to Miles City. Those now in
the second grade, and receiving $500 a
year, will get 81 900 as third grade men .
Those in the third grade will be ad-
vanced to the fourth grade and will
draw 81 $50 year. For number of
months the postal service has employed
ten men between here and Miles City
Five Of these men have been acting as
helpers on account OF the increased
mails. Now it 10 the intention to estsb-
lish the grades where they belong and
permanently.
This will probably result in w. H.
Clayton returning here from Montana to
take run west. Geo. r. Tinker has
also accepted run, 1t ls understood i.
Willis Mott and John Lamey, DOW act
ing as second clerks here, will probably
be transferred to the line between Miles
City and Helena, given full charge of
cars and made clerks of the third grade.
This is the same promotion as If they
stayed here.
The mail clerks say they are beginning
to feel the effects Of the campaign in the
increased mails. The political bureaus
are sending out tons Of literature and
nearly all Of this goes through the mails
and has to be handled. This particular

WELLS OBJECT LESSON.
A Comment on the Mexican
Silver Dollar Bank
Card.
Wheat Kernels Small This
Year-Belief That 1t is
Wise to Hold.

The James River National Bank, in
attempting to educate people upon the
question Of coinage, has gone into the
"object lesson" business with the aid Of
q Mexican dollar. Suppose that all that
is claimed in the explanation upon the
placard hanging by the teller's window
should prove to be true, and that the
Mexican should first bring over 100
Mexican dollars, and have them coined
into o. 8. dollars, take these 100
q. 8. dollars back to Mexico and pur-
chase 200 Mexican dollars, and continue
the process until the entire coinage Of
Mexico had been swallowed up and all
silver circulating in Mexico should bear
the q. S. stamp, wherein would this
work any injury to the United States,
the cost OF coinage being paid by the
Mexican, which expense of mintsge can
be easily provided for in the new COIN
age law that will need to be passed to
reopen the mints to silver?
[ suppose that we may assume 1t to be
the opinion Of the proprietors Of the
James River National Bank that the
above is what would happen in case the
mints of the U. s. should be again open
to the free coinage Of silver. By the
way, where have our fifty cent dollars
gone in this "object lessoa?' We
thought We were to have fifty cent dol
lars ourselves upon the adoption of free
coinage. One can only reach the con-
clusion that with the mints again open
to silver, the james River National
Bank does not really see any fifty cent
dollars ahead. H.

Organizing silver Clubs.

Preparations are under way to organ
ize silver clubs IN every town of any size
along the railroads IN this state. Or
ganlzers have started over the Great
Northern, Milwaukee, Northern Pacific
and Southwestern, beginning week ago
Wednesday. Reports are very favorable
as to the success the organizers are
meeting with. Some Of the towns do
not csre to organize until good speaker
is obtained. M. E. T. Hooper of
Fargo has taken the Northern Pacific
line IN charge as far as Valley City and
organized west to and including Valley
City. That town came to the front last
Friday with So charter members. Mr..
Hooper spent the day here Monday. It
is claimed that over half the business
men Of Casselton are on the silver side,
and two years ago the silver vote at that
place was very light.
Wheatland organized with 36 mem.
bers. Chairman Klf of the stste prohi-
bition party will help organize at Tower
City. Mr.. Hooper says there are about
100 voters in that place and out Of q poll
of 80, taken short time since, there
were Sc favorable to silver.
Hickson, ON the Milwaukee, organized
with Is members. Gardner, on the
Great Northern, was also organized by
Smith Stimmel last week.
The organizers cay that as everybody
is more or lees busy with harvest work
q greater interest will be seen in short
time.
