IMPORTANT NOTICE.

County Treasurer's Office, Oct. I, 1897.
The delinquent tax lists will be de-
lived to the county auditor on Novem-
ber first. All real estate taxes re-
naming unpaid at that date will be
advertised and sold at the regular
tax sale.
Persons knowing themselves indebt-
ed for personal property taxes will do
we'll to call at this office and pay up
without delay. A large list of such
taxes is ready to be delivered to the
sheriff who will proceed at once to
force the collection. There are few
persons who are owing some rather
old taxes and who have refused to pay,
claiming the tax against them cannot
be collected. I have a particular de-
sire to bring these people to time, and
l shall be pleased to use any mean
effort to make them pay, or will know
good and valid reasons why. This
means business.

The Dickinson papers amt do
ing a thing to the Hon. Leslie A.
Simpson, states attorney OF
Stark county. It seems that the
Hon. Leslie and the county com
missioners fixed up a sort of
license law for that county and
taxed the blind piggers so much
per head to soil liquor and Mr..
Leslie collected the fees and out
of about $1,000 collected Leslie
pockets $619 and turns over $3.50
to the county. The papers and
people are kicking at this, and it
is a righteous kick too. Not only
are the states attorney and COM
missioners allowing liquor to be
sold contrary to law but Mr..
Simpson has no business to put
this $619 in his pocket. He is
paid a salary by the people and
is not entitled to another dollar.
It is about time the people made
the Hon. Leslie disgorge.

al services. l." After months of
investigation the hearing before
the commissioner of patents has
resulted in the debarment of
Wedderburn from practicing di.
rectly or indirectly before any
of the bureaus in the department
of the interior. To show how
easily a cunning mind can devise
means to successfully humbug
the American people, this firm in
three years time built up a busi-
ness of over 100000 a year. In
that time it filed $4,000 applica.
tions for patents-but only a
small proportion of their clients
received patents on their inven-
tions. In this case. as in nearly
all other cases of fraud. the press
of the country has been a liberal
contributor. in that it has been
unscrupulously used as a means
of communication between the
shyster and the people.-Bis-

The Valley City Alliance ver

The Valley City Alliance very
pertinently asks:
ssIs it that terrible '.money
power that is destroying the
crops all over the world for the
purpose of giving American
farmers higher prices and thus
showing them the falsity of the
wheat-and silver? There is just
as much sense in assuming that
the money power could control
the wind and weather and grass
hoppers and other cat ses of for
eign grain shortage as it was to
assume last fall that a handful of
fnanciers located in some mys-
terious secret chamber in London
or elsewhere could control the
legislation of the greatest and
most intelligent nations of the
world in behalf of the gold stand.

day and week to week during

by Indians and some became pirates.
The winter of l6O9.lO was long known

by Indians and some became pirates.
The winter of l6O9-lO was long known
as the starving time. In six months
the colonists were reduced from 400 to
so. At last they thought they would
go from that dreadful place. The neAt
morning, as they slowly moved down
with the tide, to their great joy they
met their new governor, Lord Della
ware, with lots of supplies and COM
pany of emigrants. They then re-
turned to their homes, and jamestown
was once more saved from abandon
ment.
In 1909 q second charter was obtain
ed by the company. This vested tile
authority iu q governor instead Of !.
local council. The colonists were not
consulted with regard to the change
nor did the charter guarantee to them
any rights.
The chief events in the later history
Of the jamestown colony were. the OBJ
taiuing of the third charter which was
the most important one; the marriage
of Pocahontas to John Rolfe, Il colon
ist in 1913: the first colonial assembly;
slavery introduced 1919; Indian
troubles, and Bacon's rebellion. ;.

The Mandan fair was a decided
success in every way and the
management and the people of
the city and county deserve
credit for a great deal of it The
weather was perfect, and a liber-
al policy of entertainment pre-
vailed. There were liquid re-
freshments and games for those
who care to indulge in them. but
the fact was very apparent that
the players of games of chance
were in great minority. The
crowd was interested in other
things. No drunkenness or dis
order was seen and the buyers
of the gambling privileges paid a
good round price for the same
and made little or nothing it is
said, while the fair association
did. The sucker" is getting
scarcer each year it seems. The
financial success of the fair was
such that probably the directors
will have from three to four
thousand dollars in the bank
after paying all the expenses.
The jamestown Alert in the
above candidly admits that the
surplus to the directors of the
Mandan fair is owing to the fact
that the fair was run on q wide
open policy. The fact that liquor
was sold and gambling allowed
on the grounds contrary to the
laws of the state, does not look
we'll, especially as the governor
of North Dakota, elected by the
people to see that laws are en-
forced, was in attendance at the
fair and by his sanction of the
unlawful sale of liquor and gamb.
ling violated his own oath as gov.
ernor and not only this the Man.
dan fair is under the auspices OF
the state. While we admit Gov.
Briggs or any other state officer
has right to his personal opin
ion, but as an officer elected by
the people he has no right to
stand by and see the laws violat
ed.

Settlement of Virginia.

The people that settled jamestown
were entirely untitled for the undertake
ing. They were gentlemen who had
lost their fortunes and had come to
America thinking they could gain
riches without labor. Few of them
had ever done any hard work and
most of them we're unwilling to learn.
In summing up their character 1
should say they were lazy, careless,
ignorant and self-conceited. You
may ask, why did they come if they
did not want to work? Well, because
they thought they could come over
here and just shovel up gold; and
they had heard that you could pick
up diamonds and all precious stones
almost anywhere. They did not come
with the intention of staying; their on
ly reason was to come and get all the
gold they wanted, go back to England
and live in ease and comfort the rest
of their lives. AS they were nearly
all gentlemen and too nice to work,
where was their food to come from?
I suppose that is what they thought
too, but they did not know what to do
SO they came near starving.
There was a man by the name of
John Smith in the colony and in their
distress the colonists turned to him
and made him their leader. Smith
then traded with the Indians and OBJ
tanned a supply of food. He forced
the settlers to build houses, to erect
a fort and to plant corn. He marked
out for each man his daily labor and
saw that it was performed. If they
would not work. Smith would not give
them any food. All went we'll while
he was at Jamestown. He made long
voyages, carefully exploring Chesa-
peake bay. securing the friendship of
the Indians and bringing back boat
loads of supplies. On one of these
expeditions up the Chickahominy he
was captured by the Indians. He i'm
mediately tried to interest his captors
by explaining the use of his pocket
compass and the motions of the moon
and stars. At last they allowed him
to write.to his friends and when the In
dians found that this informed his
friends of his misfortune they were
vey much surprised. They considered
him a superior being and treated him
with great respect. He was carried
from one tribe to another and at last
brought before the great Chief Pow
hatan by whom he was condemned to
die. But just as they were going to
kill him, Pocahontas, the young
daughter of the chief, threw herself
upon his neck and begged for his par
don, which was granted and Smith
was released. He went home with
promises of friendship. After a while
he very unfortunately was disabled by
severe wound and was compelled to
return to England. AS soon as he
left the settlers became prey to dis.
ease and famine. Some were killed
