Johnson WENT Give Up.

Washington. Senator Hansbrough
won the first round in the fight over
the Bismarck postmastership. Not
withstanding the fact that Representa-
tive Johnson has strenuously urged
President Mckinley not to send the
nomination of Mrs. Patterson to the
senate, it was posted as a recess ap-
pointment in the senate wing of the
capitol yesterday afternoon. The
nomination. as is customary d
such circumstances, was referred to
the committee on p%ostotfices and post
roads, of which Senator WOlcott of
Colorado is chairman. Representative
johnson decided to continue the fight
against Hansbrough's choice. He
therefore went before the committee
and asked for an immediate hearing.
Chairman Wolcott, at the urgent re-
quest of Representative Johnson. APP
pointed a subcommittee to consider the
Bismarck case consisting of Senators
Carter and Money. 1t was then de-
cided to give Representative johnson
and opportunity to explain his oppose
ton to Mrs. Patterson at a special SEES
sion. In addition to the objection
which MI. johnson will lodge with the
committee against the Bismarck APP
pointee he will also argue against a
favorable report upon the appointment
Of Harry Oliver, recently appointed
postmaster at Lisbon.

CHICKENS AND DOGS.

Quantity.

They Are on Show in Fargo In Great
Quantity.
|. Fargo. n. D. - The fourth annual
show Of the North Dakota and North
ern Minnesota Poultry association be-
gan here. The two. first meetings of
the association were held at Grand
Forks. Last year it was held here,
and was such a success that it was
voted to meet here again this year.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the event and the meeting
will be decidedly the most successful
in the history of the association.
About 500 birds will be shown, an in
crease of 40 to so per cent over last
year. Nearly every town of any i'm
portance in the valley has sent chick
ems. George Holden Of Owatonna will
be official scorer. He acted in that Ca
pacity last year, and is said to be n
Of the best chicken experts in the
Northwest.
In addition to the poultry show it
has been decided to increase the inter-
est in the meeting by holding a kennel
show at the same time. This is under
the auspices of the poultry association,
but a kennel club will be organized at
the meeting. Local owners of blooded
CANNES have taken the matter up and
a long list of prizes has been arranged.
From the advance entries, about $50
dogs are expected. The judges are'Mr.
Bisbee. a we'll known breeder of Far
20, and Mr.. Hooley, formerly Of New
York. Hereafter these meetings will
be held either just before or after
those held in the Twin Cities, so
Eastern breeders will be represented.
A number of dogs from st. Paul and
Minneapolis have been entered for
this meeting.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
vILLERs ON TRIAL.
The Old Man Charged With Murder

The Old MAJ Charged With Murder
in the Dock at JamcstOwn.
jamestown, n. D.-The twelfth juror
! has been secured for the Villers muir
der trial. 1t took three days eXamina-
ton of a hundred veniremen from the
northern part of the county, most dis
tant from the scene of the crime, and
all but one of the peremptory chal-
lenges of the defense to get the jury.
Eight of the jury are from Courtenay
and two each from kensal and Ed
munEis.
After the jury was selected the state,
assisted by Attorney l.. Guthrie or
Grand Forks, briefly addressed the
jury and at nce began taking testi-
mony. Edward Tromer told Of his
fathers departure from home the last
night he was ever seen alive. Then
relics Of the murdered man were in
troduced in evidence. Among them
was his shoe, still containing the foot.
his pipe and knife. pieces OF his skull
with scalp and hair yet attached,
broken jaw bones, shreds Of his cloth
ing from the body picked up where
brought to the surface from the grave
Of the murdered man by wild badgers,
and his silk Northumberland. still as
k1OllcU ny HIS NIlc luC ulSuI liz ACAC
home four years ago. The prisoner
was visibiy agitated during the exam
ination of the relics.
Mrs. Pauline Tromer, wife of the
murdered man, was the principal wit
ness. She is a oma of less than the
average weight and height and spoke
English imperfectly. She almost
broke down when asked to describe
her last meeting with her husband,
and restrained her sobs with the great
est difficulty. During the arguments
as to the admissibility Of her testi-
mcny regarding Mr.. Tromer's remarks
she tainted. Her little daughter, Hill
degaard, ran to her, patted her cheeks
and pressed her face against her
mothers. The witness revived only to
20 into another and longer faint, and
soon after was removed from the court
room and went into violent Mysteries.
In the confusion Villers glanced about
uneasily, as if apprehensive of his
safety. The hysterical cries and sobs
Of the witness penetrated the room
and there was much excitement, but
no demonstration other than black
looks against the prisoner. Court was
adjourned to await the recovery OF
the witness. Popular sentiment Is
strong against the prisoner, but no
demonstration is feared. The jury is
considered above the average III abil-
ity and intelligence.

AN INDIAN ARTIST.
Miss Angel De Cora Who IL
at tho Drcxel Institute.

Miss Angel De Corn Who II
Mt tho Drcxel Institute.
Bismarck, N. D. - Miss Angel ne
Cora, a full blooded Indian OF the
Winnebagoes, during last summer anu
fall was housed in a pleasant caDll on
the Fort Berthold reservation, faf up
the wide Missouri, above Bismarck.
She is an advanced student at the
Drexel institute, Philadelphia, anu re-
turned to civilization to resume mel
studies in painting. She carried Daek
to the East with her several poftraits
of the far Western Indian cale1s,
Sioux and Arickaree, and all who sa"
them in her modest little place ut the
fort claim they are the finest specl-
mems of Indian portraits since the days
of Catlin.
While the wild Indians have always
excelled in hieroglyphic drawing, very
few of the educated members OF tne
tribes have eXcelled in the art, ana,
indeed, it is a rare occurrence when
the artistic idea is so developed that al
Indian will care to make any attempt
to paint or draw. But Miss De Cora
is an exception, and stands at the head
of her race, and we'll in front OF the
profession as we'll in her chosen call
ing. She found her talent at n gov.
eminent school at Hampton, Va. II
from. there she went to Smith college,
and the Drexel institute. She spent
her summer here in drawing from the
life scenes in Longfellow's "Hla-
watha." and in making portraits, the
most notable of which are of n ven,
cradle chief of the Sioux nation, Old
Bull Head, one of the most pictur-
esque and interesting figures of ab-
r iginal life, and of Standing Bear, the
head chief of the Arickarees. whose
Headquarters are at BerthOld.

scARclY OF MILLING WHEAT.
Red River Valley Association Dis
cusses the Situation.

cusses the Situation.
Fargo, n. D.-The Red River Valley
Milling company held its meeting Of
tile year here with an unusually large
attendance. Aside from the usual rou-
tine business transacted and the sotial
session, there was a great deal Of dis
cussion as to the outlook for wheat
from now until harvest. The indica-
lions are there will not be enough left
in the state to keep all the mills in
operation. Some think the majority
of the mills will have to shut down by
June unless wheat is bought in the
Eastern markets and shipped here.
This. of course, would not be protita-
bic, as 90 per cent of the trade is at
Eastern points. The premium paid
last fall on old wheat took absolutely
every bit of 1t cut Of the country.
The Letter deal has emptied every ele-
vator in the state, and a great many
farmers thought it a good time to un-
load. Hereafter an effort will be made
by the milling association to buy all
tile wheat offered, so none will be
shipped out of the state. Representa-
tives of Minneapolis mills have been
in the valley sizing up the situation
and have returned convinced tina
will be compelled to purchase
grain from the Chicago end.

%toxication advanced by an illegal voter
in e%xtenuation of his offense, a Phila-
delphia judge has taken a stand which
good citizens will generally support,
and which has reason. judgment and
common sense back of it. In a vigor-
GUS manner the judge charged the jury
that if they found the prisoner had vot-
ed illegally, as charged, it was their
duty to convict him without regard to
his condition at the time, whether he
was drunk or sober. The jury prompt
ly convicted the man.

The punishment Of a cartoon pub
Usher and several other German citi-
zens for disrespect to the kaiser is evil
dence that his majesty has a cheap
head as we'll as a thin skin. Men
worthy of the cartoon recognize the
compliment involved in it, however
severe it may be; and the right of
criticism belongs to every man who
pays taxes to his government. And
the kaiser must inevitably suffer more
as a result of his childishness than any
of the men he puts in Jail.

But in order to get there it is necessary
that a man should be possessed OF the

rance and considerable means He
leaves his wife and his family for a con-

has to endure are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her
golden grain. This year the crop OF
Manitoba, lying directly north of North
Dakota, yielded 81, 000, 900 bushels of
wheat alone. The current price aver
ages rs cents, which, as a local paper
puts it, "makes the product In gold his
year, for wheat alone, equal to a value
Of SIS, 900, OOO." Twenty thousand farm
ers did this, or an average to each pro-
Queer of about $798.
"But these same farmers are not liv-
ing by wheat alone. This is only n
source of revenue to them out OF many.
They have also beef, butter, potatoes,
oats, barley and poultry to sell. and
sometimes other things, so that it may
be fairly estimated that their incomes
will average at least $1,000 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded

After counting the cost Of stamp
mills, expenses of men, etc. rich as is
the Klondike, such vast wes:lth as is be-
ing taken out of the soil in raising
wheat in this one province, cannot pos
sib;y be secured in any mining district.
OF course mining development assists
agricultural development, and that ia
why the Government of Canada feels
SO much assurance in predicting pros
perity to all who take up farms in Can
ada. Western Canada today promises
more than any other known field that is
open to immigration. Farms of 16O
acres, capable of producing the best
No. / hard wheat, yielding thirty to for
ty bushels to the acre, are given away
free. Railways, markets, schools,
churches-all are convenient. The
Canadian form of government is n of
the most liberal known. and a hearty
welcome is given to- settlers Of all ma
ticnalities. Already there are many set
tiers gone in from the states, and the

ment of the Interior, Ottawa, or to any
