Approaching Completion.

The Mckenzie building will be finished
and turned owe by the contractors the
first of January and will be another
handsome addition to the business
blocks in the city. There is yet con-
siderable work to be done in the way of
finishing. Plasterers are at work inside,
and the store rooms down stairs are be-
ing finished. Webb Brothers will occupy
the east fifty feet, and their store room
will be spacious, light and handsome.
The postofice will be installed in the
west twenty-ive feet, and the room has
been plastered, foored, and is ready for
the fixtures to be put in. There is yet
another store room between the post
office and the Webb stores. The con-
crete walk has been laid in front, the
store fronts raised. and the plate glass
is ready to be put in as soon as the rest

Settlers Coming by Thousands.

Bottineau Courant: A letter from Mr..
Jno. S. Babcock, written at Durand,
Mich, Dec. l, to his son, Mr.. M. NJ. Bah
cock, at Bottineau, says that he and a
party of 600 to 1000 will leave early in
the spring for Bottincau county. Mr..
Babcock, it will be remembered, is the
gentleman who brought out last April
about twenty-four in conjunction with
the Great Northern railway, under the
direction of MI. Max Bass, the general
emigration agent, and Mr.. G. w. Crosse,
travelling passenger and land agent. Mr..
Babcock, with this party, and a great
many others, went back to their homes
last fall to complete their arrangements
to move here permanently, bringing
their families, goods, etc., and it seems
they have been doing good work among
the people there in inducing them to
come to the west. Mr.. M. M. Babcock,
the son who received this letter, arrived
about three weeks ago. and will make all

Spalding's Idea.

Fargo Call: Congressman-elect Spald-
ing is expected home from Washington
tomorrow, after about ten days spent at
the national capital. In an interview
with a newspaper correspondent at
Washington, Mr.. Spalding places him
self as favorable to an extra session of
congress for the purpose of disposing of
the financial question. II have received
many communications from bankers and
business men in the state" said he, sin
favor of the extra session to consider a
modification of our currency system. l
think there is a strong demand for this
legislation, and as a party policy I think
it would be wise to dispose of the ques-
ton as DOR as possible. If considera-
ton of the question is postponed until
next December it will be claimed the
next presidential election that sufficient
time to Judge the merits of the measure
was denied the people, and for this rea-
son the sooner the question is taken up
and disposed of the better"

Nabbed With Stolen Sheep.

Pioneer Press: Two hundred and
thirty-sevcn sheep, each with its ears cut
off close to the head, were seized in North
Dakota last week by G. S. Grain of st.
Paul, special agent of the treasury de
partment. Mr.. Grain says that the sheep
were struggled across the border from
Canada, and the ears, with the owners
brand, we're cut off to prevent identitica-
ton.
This is Mr.. Grains story as he told it
after his return:
James O'Brien of Morden, Manitoba,
reported to Revenue Officer Goerke, at
South Antlers, N. D., a few weeks ago
that 165 of his sheep had been stolen by
his hired men and struggled vel the
border. O'Brien said that he had sent
the sheep to Pierson, Man, last spring in
charge of his hired man. The hired man
he said, had left the sheep with a farmer
named Craig, and in the fall had taken
them from Craig and sold them to Viii.
liam Lennox, n cattle dealer near the
border.
MI. Goerke sent for Mr.. Grain, who
left st. Paul for Antlcrs about a weel
ago. He said Mr.. Goerkc followed tn.
sheep into North Dakota and first go
track of the herd by finding in the snow
a number Of Sleeps ears with O'Brien'
brand on them. The trail, marked b.,
bloody ears, was followed until the hero
was found. There were 237 sheep in tn,
herd and all of them were e%arlcss. MI
Grain at once seized the entire herd an,
made arrangements to have LennoX AZ
rested.
Lennox asserted that he knew nothin
about any smuggling: but if Mr.. Graf
cannot have him held on that charge h
will turn him over to the state author
tiles for prosecution under the law max
ing it crime to remove the brands o
animals.

of the finishing touches shall have been
put on. Upstairs, the office rooms
have been plastered and are being
foored. Everything is arranged for
venience and will be light and comforta-
BILE. The surveyor generals office will
be a suite of three roomsi in the east and
south corner of the building. A Van
Horn furnished the plans for the build
ing, which has been erected at a moder-
ate cost and yet is handsome, up to date
and convenient in all its appointments.

preparations for the reception of this
large emigration, who will settle along
the Mouse River, north, west and
southwest of Bottineau. Apropos of
this it is generally conceded that the
Great Northern Railway will run a
branch from in between Towner and
Minot, tributary to this settlement. This
will be quite an influx to the population
of Bottineau county and the people
coming will find they will settle in a
good county.

How the State Press Looks at the
Matter at the Present Stage
of the Game.

The Fargo Argus says that under the
direction of Col. Robinson the johnson
forces are harmonious and on the high
road to victory.
The North Dakota Globe thinks Nc
Cumber is the leading candidate in the
race and his election the proper thing
that McCumber would become a power
in national affairs-and Richland county
is for her favorite son.
The Griggs Courier says Dave Bartlett
is not in the race although if the
lightning struck him he would try to
stand the shock. The Courier says
Griggs county is for johnson.
The Mayville Tribune is confident and
alludes to johnson as "our next senator"
The Devils Lake Free Press has good
words for Little as able and deserving
non-committal as to the matter OF choice.
The Cakes Republican is making the
most vigorous campaign of any paper in
the state for Marshall.
The Hillsboro Banner thinks johnson
ought to have it-says the final result is
very uncertain.
The Casselton Reporter has good words
for Robinson as al astute manager.
The Sanborn Enterprise says-if
Robby's heart is in the tight-Johnson
ought to win.
The LaHIoure Chronicle thinks that if
the people did the el%ecting-all other
candidates would be turned to the wal
and Devine be the senator. The Chron.
icle is for Devine.
The Langdon Times says it is reported
the Cavalier county representatives ar,
pledged TO vote as a unit for senator
but does not know for whom.
The Nelson County Herald, Erni,
Kcnt's paper, says johnson has forty
two votes and is for a caucus or an,
other old kind of a fight-if necessary
Says Johnson will not bolt a caucus.
The Hannah Moon places the leaders
McCumbcr, LaMoure and johnson, an,
says Jud is likely to get the votes.
The st. Thomas Times is against John
! son-says those who are figuring o.
forty-two votes are likely to be disaI
pointed.

;. is in the lead at present but believes Ii

A Busy New York Corner.

At that busy corner, Grand street
and the Bowery, there may be seen
cars propelled by five different
methods of propulsion-by steam,
by cable. by underground trolley,
by storage battery and by horses.
Overhead, running up and down
the Bowery, are the cars of the ele-
waited railroad, drawn by steam To-
comotives. Running up and down
the Bowery on the surface are the
ears of the Third Avenue railroad,
drawn by cable. The Madison ave-
nue. cars, which turn into the Bow
cry at this point, coming along
Grand street from the west, are run
by the underground trolley system.
The cars on the Second Avenue rail
road, which come up the Bowery
and turn into Grand street going
west, returning around the same
corner going down, are still drawn
by horses, as are also nearly all the
cars of the Grand street crosstown
line, which crosses the Bowery go
ing east and west. But there are
four cars now running on the Cross
town line that are run by power
from storage battery.-New York

A Clever Imitation.

A certain Cleveland attorney has
two bright little children. They are
quick at imitation and have talent
for making up games in which they
cleverly burlesque their elders. A
few days ago their mamma found
they were playing doctor" The
youngest child was the patient, with
head wrapped in a towel, and the
older the physician, with a silk hat
and a cane. The mother, unseen by
the little ones, listened at the door
way.
II feels awful bad" said the pa
tient.
we'll fix all that" said the doc
tor briskly. "Lemme see your
tongue
Out came the tiny red indicator.
"HumI Humi Coated" said the
doctor, looking very grave indeed.
Then, without a word of warning,
the skilled physician hauled of and
gave the patient a smart slap in the
region of the ribs.
"Ouohr' cried the sufferer.
Feel any pain therei" inquired
the doctor.
YES" said the patient.
81 thought So" said the healer.
Flows the other sidef"
Its all right" said the patient
edging away.
Thereupon the doctor produced a
small bottle filled with what looked
like either bread or mud pills and
placed it on the table.
"Take one of these pellets, the
physician said, dissolved in water
every II 17minutes-alter-mit-ly."
How long mus i take emit
groaned the patient.
Till you die" said the doctor
Good morning." - Cleveland

there is no speculation to absorb

at present and are disappointed

COTTON.

New York, Sept. 3.-There was
nothing of special interest in weekly
chronicle report which was merely
confirmatory of advices received the
last week or two indicating unsatis-
factory outlook in some districts,
while on the whole the crop Is doing
well. The market broke to points
at opening owing to lower cables,
which caused a renewal of bear talk.
The Government map reported light
rain at few stations. Trading was
slow during the brief session. with
small dealings and slight changes up
to the close. Gables were down 21-2
points for future delivery and 1872
for spots of the latter sales were
5000. Port receipts estimated for
the day 1000 against 100 last week
10, 200 last year and 6 800 in 1895.

of SAID city or town within five
days after the presentation OF
said petition to designate and
fix a day, not less than seven
nor more than fifteen days dis
tant for holding an election IN
said city or town for that pur
pose, and also for the election
by ballot at the same time OF a
board of six directors for said
city or town." Other sections
of the act provides in detail
the method of holding the cleo
ton and confers upon the
school directors ample power to
manage and control the public
schools to the best advantage:
The first thing, therefore. for
the city council to do is to
provide for the levy and assess
ment of sufficlentrevenuet to sup
port a free school system and
appropriate it for that purpose.
The next thing to be done
would be for twenty voters to
present to me as mayor a pc
tition calling for the election of
board of school directors, and
the establishment of a school
district under the act referred
to. Whenever such a petition
is presented to me, | will
promptly call an election and
start the ball to rolling. Ev-
erybody will concede that we
must be cautious and not Incur
too much liability nor raise the
taxes too high. There are nc
public school buildings in Ard
more, but it has occurred to me
that the city council and schOo
directors could make provisions
by which children could attene
any of the private or denomina-
tional schools already organized
| in Ardmore and have theil
pro rata of the school funC
paid for tuition. In this way
many children heretofore un'
able to go to school would gel
a start and the benefits to indl
vlduaI instances and to the
town at large would be very
great.
| throw this out as a suggest
ion for the people to think
about, for after all, | and the
other officers simply execute
tie peoples will.
