sion last evening. largely for the purpose
OF approving the payroll for the Indian creek
work, amounting to $5Ss.7O The payroll
OF the men engaged in repairing the Four
teenth avenue sewer amounting to $500

ferred to the proper committee.
The application of ole Thompson & Co.
to conduct saloon at 1917 South Ninth
street was granted.
Considerable time was spent in discussing
the cost OF repairs upon North Sixth street
bridge over Indian creek. The bridge has
been closed to traffic for some time The
engineer reported that the cost OF repairs
would approximate 5000. The WORK involved
bridge construction that could not well be
done with the means and material at the
disposal of the engineers department and
1t was decided to let some of the bridge
building firms submit estimates of cost and
award the contract to the lowest bidder.
The clerk was instructed to advertise for
bids based upon the plans in the engineers
office. The council then adjourned to meet

The police department yesterday received
descriptions of a couple of men arrested at
Garnett, Kan, who are in custody with
a remarkable assortment of stolen property
in their possession. The matter was chiefly
interesting to the police because the descrip-
tion given of one OF the men not only fitted
that OF Whitcomb, the Cherokee robber,

COWBOYS CARNIVAL At LARAMIE.
Unique Exhibition of Wyoming Men
from the Plains.

LARAMIE, Wyo., Nov 1S.-(Special.) .)-The
cowboys Of the Laramie plains gave a unique
exhibition at the carnival Sunday afternoon.
Nearly 1000 people from this city went cut
to sec the sports which consisted OF a pro-
gram OF riding, roping and other cowboy
occupations. In the contest OF riding buck
ing brOnchos the spectators unwillingly par
ticipated, Lou Bath was attempting tc ride
Hunter Boy, powerful, wild. black animal.
After Lou mounted the horse bclted and ran
with head down under one of the ring ropes.
The rope caught the rider about the neck
and stripped him from the saddle. With
the rope caught about the horn of the sad
die the horse dashed into the crowd of spec
tators, encircling hundreds of people and
scores of horses and wagons. There was a
general stampede; the rope caught under
the wheels of one wagon and overturned ii
with its occupants and the team ran away.
Mounted cowboys finally caught the horse
and Bath again remounted him. This time
he again jumped among the spectators. In
two jumps he took the wheels off two wag-
ons and threw the occupants-a party Of
women-to the ground. Bath finally con-
quored him and rode him around the ring.
Burt Schenk, who has been with Buffalo
Bill'' during the past season. had an eXcit-
ing experience upon the back of a beautiful
bay which pitched and bucked and finally
ran away. Schenk stuck to the saddle, but
had to have the assistance OF several cow
boys. who herded his horse back to the ring
for him. Charlie Mayield then had an eX
perience with a big gray from the Hunter
herd. Mayfeld's spur caught as he was get
ting on the animal, which had to be blind
folded to get the saddle on. and did not have
a sure seat when the bucking began. He
was shot up in the air fully five feet above
the horse, and when he came down his
mount was making excellent time across the
prairie with half a dozen cowboys in pur-
suit. The animal was roped and brought
back. and Mayfeld who is an old-time
Texas rider, soon conquered him. The car
nival ended Monday with a grand cowboy
parade and a ball in the evening

TRYING John Jnckson.

The hearing of the charge of assaulting
Emil Machan brought against John Jackson
was not concluded yesterday. Another con-
tinuance was taken until this morning.
When the case was called Tuesday morn
ing young Machan positively identified his
assailant as John Jackson and adduced other
evid snce to sustain his charge. All of
the Jacksons who had testified declared
that John was at home at the time the
assault was made, but they differed from
one to Ave hours in the time OF his return
and departure from home. A groceryman
was produced who swore positively that
he sold John Jackson a pound of cheese
at o'clock, and the groveryman's store is
located within a short distance of the spot
where the attack was made When this
testimony was given two incidents occurred
younger brother OF John Jackson arose
and informed the court that he had made
the assault and that his brother was not
there. A few minutes afterward John Jack
son went up to young Machan and de-
manded an exchange of hats This brought
to light some additional convincing evi-
dence. During the assault the hats of both
parties were knocked of, and when Jack
soL picked up one he unfortunately got
hold of Machan's. Machan was obliged to
wear away Jackson's headgear, and the
voluntary Identification in the court room
was conclusive evidence. The efforts of
the younger Jackson boy to get his brother
out only succeeded in getting himself in

has never gone until this year. The
majority of yesterdays election is about
$4,000 for the republicans. It is larger
than the most sanguine republican
dreamed of. The maximum majority
as estimated by the republicans, was
$4,000. But, like Vermont, Maine
doubled her usual majority. The sig
%nificance Of the result cannot be avoided.
The residents of the state have met the
free coinage question, and have repudi-
ated it with a vehemence which is un-
mistakable. This is the second fair ex-
preston of sentiment which has been
had on the silver question, and each
time the republicans have given double
majorities for their ticket. The free
silverites have boasted of gains from the
republicans, but the results of two cleo
tons show, not only that their boast is
unfounded, but that the democrats have
lost heavily from their own forces. The
home of the democratic candidate for
vice president has repudiated him and
his party. One of the results of the
election will probably be the withdrawal
Of Sewall, and the selection of Tom
Watson, as the free silver candidate for
vice president. Maine and Vermont
have started the landslide for Mckinley
which will bury Bryan and his cohorts
too deep for resurrection.

The federal officials who are engaged
in promoting the campaign of Bryan,
are likely to feel that they are employed
under a Cleveland administration, and
not by MI. Bryan. The assertion is
now made positively that all the minor
officials who are now openly talking for
Bryan will have to give up their jobs.
It is said that Mr.. Cleveland up to this
time has been too much occupied to pay
any attention to this matter, but when
he gets around to it their heads will go
off. Mr.. Cleveland is not in a frame of
mind to tolerate what he regards as a
reflection and a reproach upon the adj
ministration by persons who are en-
ployed under it. The campaign of
Bryan is more directly an attack upon
the policy of the administration than
upon any policy that the republican
party has been. responsible for. So Mr..
Cleveland feels it to be, and officials un-
der him who will take the stump or talk
through the press in support of Bryan
and in criticism Of the bond issues and
the general policy Of the treasury can
not expect to csc ape his resentment.
Doubt is expressed that designations will
be asked for, but direct dismissal is ex-
pected. It is said au~thoritatively that
there will be no occasion for surprise at
any time if the offending officials receive
peremptory notices of dismissal.

GENERAL MILES has issued a volume
of re%collections of his military career.
One Of the portions Of the work which
would be more particularly interesting
to residents Of this vicinity is that in
which he gives his views Of the Custer
massacre. The general does not share
in the censure of Custer which
has gone forth from some quarters. He
attributes the disaster in part to a lack
of knowledge o. the part Of the army in
regard to the strength of the enemy and
in part to a failure ofMajor Reno to as
sumo the responsibility for the movement
of his forces and those of Captain Ben
teen when they joined on the high bluffs
of the right bank of the Little Big Horn.
The battle is discussed at some length,
and Clusters actions are in the main
upheld. In a succeeding chapter refer
ence is made to the fact that a detach-
ment of the 22d infantry, in the summer
of 1877, was ordered ''to proceed by
forced marches to Bismarck, Oak, and
from there by railroad as rapidly as pos
sible to the city of Chicago, where they
arrived in time to help restore order and
suppress the riots that at that time
were threatening life and property in
that city"

THE DECLINE IN PRICES.

The Hon. David A. Wells of COnnecti-
cut contributes one Of the ablest articles
on finance and trade, which has yet
been published. He says: Take, first
the market decline in the price of wheat
which typifies more than any other one
product the grievance of the American
farmer. The cause Of this decline is the
indisputable fact that more has been,
and is still produced, not, perhaps, more
han the world wants, but more than it
is willing to buy. The average annual
wheat crop Of the United States in the
four years, 1902, was 244, 1S7, O0Obush-
els. Since 1890 the average crop has
been about $40, 000, 900 bushels. In 1878
there was practically no wheat exported
from India. In 1892 India exported S.
566, 900 bushels. In 1889 the Argentine
states of South America were not named
as a factor to the smallest extent in the
worlds wheat supply. Today they are
among it's greatest sources of supply,
and for their surplus produce export in
1884 10000, 900 bushels. A few years
ago there were but few reapers and
harvesters for wheat in Russia, and
hardly Il grain elevator in connection
with storage and delivery buildings. To-
day Russia is rapidly introducing i'm

result that it's annual wheat product has
increased from 16S, 545 900 bushels in
1891 to Doc, 900 in 1894. There has
also been a very marked increase in re-
cent years in the wheat crops of Austro-
Hungary and OF Spain. 1t is impossible
therefore, to resist the conclusion that
the production Of wheat in the world
has been increasing much faster than
tho pacaccitins IF tho worlds wheat
eaters: and that the increased produc-
ton has been in the countries where
wheat is produced at the least cost. In
addition to these conditions, we have
now the announcement that the surplus
Of agricultural products in Australia
available for export, is in excess of the
demands of the people of the United
Kingdom for consumption.
The increase in the average of the an
ual cotton crop in the United States in
the years from 1912 to 1889-90 was
more than 100 per cent, while the in
crease in the population of the country
during the same period was only
Sc per cent and it is certain that
the worlds consumption of cotton did
not keep up with It's production. The
legitimate squeal Of this has been that
midland cotton that sold in 1880 for
11.5 cents per pound sells now august
1886 for ~ cents.
The American wheat grower may as
we'll recognize first as last that the
prices of wheat will not advance any
where in the world unless there is sub
stantially a complete failure in the crop
in one or NOR" of the great wheat pro-
ducing countries. To represent to him
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1896-09-18

that he is likely to obtain an increased
price for his wheat by any change in the
currency Of his country is simply specu-
latlve nonsense. Senator Stewart hit it
exactly when he told the American
farmers in 1874, ''your wheat will be
measure by the same standard-gold-in
Illinois as it is in Liverpool, and any
man can figure it,"
pened to the worlds products might be
multiplied to almost any extent: but
space will admit Of but few additional
citations. In 1858 the metal aluminium
sold for $50 per pound. Its present
market value is less than so cents.
Copper kettles which sold in 1860 for
$3.50 can now be bought for IS cents,
and this homely example illustrates the
great decline which has taken place in
the price OF copper since 1880, i e., from
% cents to 1Oand II cents in 1896, which
has been mainly due to the extraordi-
nary productiveness of American mines
and new methods OF mining and smelt-
ing. Pig iron sold for $50 per ton in
1873. The same grade can now be
bought for S1l. Between 1878 and 1892
the increase in the production of pig iron
in the United States was 342 per cent.
Land unquestionably in recent years
has also declined in value, due in a GER
tain and correct sense to over-produc-
ton. The fixed acreage of the United
States has not increased; but the till
able acreage has been enormously en-
larged. Every railroad that has been
built in the west has brought millions
of acres in competition with the lands of
the older states and of other countries.
1t is the competitive supply of cereals
and animal products of the American
farmer that has lowered the price of
land and nearly starved the English
agriculturist.

THE jamestown Alert, which is the
leading free silver advocate, among the
state press, has the following:
The Nelson Cou;,ty Herald issued Il gold
standard edition last week. 1t had a pic.
ture OF Mckinley and several cartoons: let
ters from residents OF Nelson county
shouting for "protecti0n aud reciprocity"
as receipts for low prices OF wheat; also
statements from men whose crop losses
have dcuhtlrsS left them in debt, that if
the great United States should coin silver
into legal tender dollars, they would be
worth only fifty cent; and yet not n man
OF them who dues not know thai The dol.
lars could he used to pay his debts with.
The last sentence Of the above criti-
cism, contains the sum and substance
Of Kellogg's contention-a fifty cent
dollar to pay debts with. 1t is the whole
drift Of the free silver argument-a prac-
tical reputation Of one half the debt of
the country. 1t must be remembered
that the party which advocates this
policy is the party which claims to be
the only honest and honorable n And
yet, their main contention is that a fifty
cent dollar would be a good one, because
the mar who is in debt could pay his
obligations with half the original
amount. 1t may not strike Keg that
there are honest men in the country,
who do not believe in such a manner of
debt-paying. To make a direct appeal
to the cupidity of the debtor-to say to
him: Vote for free silver because you
a get out Of debt by paying one half
the amount you contracted to pay-if
this is not fat advocation Of dishonesty
what is it? Would it be any more dis
honest to advocate the passage of a law
cutting all existing debts in two? But
there is another point to this discussion
the labor of the country is always a
creditor to the extent of one or two
weeks salary. This same argument of
the silver men applies here-the debtors
of the workingmen will cancel their obi
cations by paying them in fifty cent dol
lars-labor would receive just half it's
due. There can be no doubt of this-if
free silver is a good money to pay debts
with-it will be paid to labor-the work
ingmen will get his wages in cheap
money. Now will Keg tell the laboring
men, the railroad lnen, the men who re-
ceive salaries, that they should vote for
free silver? Hardly. But he will tell
them that their wages would be increas-
eel. But that assertion is purely specu-
lative with the weight of argument
against it-for if the employer, as a
creditor, gets paid in fifty cent dollars,
he will as a debtor pay labor the same
money, and will hardly raise the amount.
Keg cannot reconcile the two conditions
he has n set Of arguments for the
farmers and another for the working
men. And the argument which he ad-
dresses to the farmers of North Dakota
to the men who are recognized as
sturdy and honest-to the men who
have builded themselves up by honesty
in their dealings-the argument which
he addresses to them is that they should
vote for free silver because then they
can pay their debts for fifty cents on the
dollar. 1t is an insult to every farmer,
and every honest reader Of his paper.
