Noble, enraged over his being disin-
herited, swore to take mis- brothers life
if the Will was not set aside and an
equal distribution made. This was re-
fused. Fearing his brothers wrath.
William did not attend his fathers fun
eral but went to Carlinville and probated

learning that Noble had gone back 10
his home in Peoria. Several weeks aft
erward Noble, under cover of darkness
shot and seriously wounded his brother
through n window while William was
eating his supper with his mother. No
BILE escaped, but not until he had been
recognized. a reward of 800 was offer
cd for his capture. He was traced to
st. Louis, Omaha and Topeka, Kan. At
the last place he was apprehended, but
he escaped through some Connivance.
Several months later he appeared Al
the home place and asked for q confer
Cnce with William, but was not allowed
to enter tie house. That night he was
apprehended in Springfield William.

nervous wreck, was unable to raise the
reward money until a few days ago.

raising the amount. This preyed on
Williams mind. Saturday. in accord
ance with his orders. Sheriff p. c Dav-
export went to Springfield. and the re-
ward being paid the prisoner was turned
over to him. They were en- route to
this city on the train and at Girard
when William. who had been on the
train unknown to the sheriff, rushed
into the coach.
Covering the officer and prisoner with
two revolvers, he shot his brother six
times Noble died instantly. The sher-
if was so close that ne was burned by
the powder flashes. The murderer then
jumped from the moving train with the
sheriff in hot pursuit, and managed to
escape in the darkness The bringing of
Noble Kent to this city to stand trial
on an Indictment for assault to murder
was Sheriff Davenport's last official
duty, as his term expired Saturday. It
was a dramatic climax. williams mo-
tive in killing his brother was fear that
in the legal investigation Noble might
be acquitted when his own life wouIc
be again ieopardizcd.

The Grand Forks Herald has found
it's bearings again and flies to the de-
Tense of Congressman johnson in the
matter of the Bismarck postofice al
though the senate committee was
heartily disgusted with Johuson's
methods and charges, none of which
were substantiated-and which John
son now denies having made-in some
instances. The Herald is fortunate in
having it's bearings in this matter for it
enables it to get on the right side of
johnson. Not long age, in a powerful
editorial entitled the "Spoils Hunters
Yelp," the Herald a~rraigned bitterly
those republican congressman who were
seeking to get through the wires of the
civil service law into the appointment
clover. johnson was one of the most
active of the "yelpers," as the Herald
termed them-but unfortunately the
Herald did not know it at the time
hence it's recent extreme quiet in refer
ence to the congressman-desiring to
know positively on which side johnson
is to be found--before essaying any
more criticisms of congressional meth

Now that it has been proven before
the senate committee that it was i'm
possible for the operator at Bismarck
now employed in the po~stoflce, to have
withheld kilograms Of johnson, not
having been here for ten months after
the time the alleged hold up happened
Congressman johnson states-accord-
ing to Major Edwards letter in the
Forum-that he never charged-that
the employe in question-held up his
kilograms. This appears to raise a
direct question of veracity between
johnson and the correspondent of the
Minneapolis Journal, who will no doubt
be ready to defend his interview with
johnson. The Major also says: "Senator
Davis of Minnesota, who has been
charged with having taken part in the
Bismarck p. Q. fight, eays-he neaver
heard of it until T mentioned it, and that
it's not in his province. The senator
further said he not only had not, but
would not touch it. That it was a
matter in Senator Hansbrough's pro.
vince and that is was solely in Senator
HIS jurisdiction and that Senator H.
| was a very strong man, stood we'll in
the senate, and he would take care of it.
That he, Senator Davis, would not in.
terfere."

The decision of the supreme court ir

The decision of the supreme court in
the Wells county tax case practically
afirms the legality of the tax claim of
the county against the railroad COM
pany, with the exception of the place
lands for the years 1887 and 1888, this
latter exception being in accord with
the decision af the supreme court of the
United States in a Richland county
case decided but not yet reported. The
court also specifies the amounts of
penalty and interest due upon the taxes
for the several years, a point which will
be valuable for other counties in figur-
ing up claims for delinquent taxes.
Under the contract of Wells county with
it's attorney, however, the county will
not be more greatly benefited by the
decision than it would have been had il
compromised with the railroad company
since it is to pay it's attorney so pei
cent OF the amount collected. The de.
cision however, will be valuable to those
other other counties where similar
points have been raised by the company
to combat the tax.

of the city, county and state, appearsto
have adopted the same course with re-
ference to the LaMoure postofice, and
the LaMoure Chronicle says:
If Congressman NJ. N. johnson had
deliberately set about to destroy his
political standing in this county, he
could not have hoped to succeed so ad.
mlrably by any other method as that
employed by him in urging and secur-
ing the appointment of f. o. Ellison
to be postmaster at LaMoure during
the next four years. This appointment
is in direct opposition to the expressed
wishes of the patrons of this office and
to the recommendations of those whose
desire in the matter was entitled to
some consideration. The Chronicle
wishes it to be understood that it is en-.
tirely friendly to Mr.. Ellison, and
nothing here stated is intended to re-
fleet upon him in any way or sense. But
disappointment vas entirely unwarrant
ed, and it's effect will be to change our
congressman's name from johnson to
"Dennis,' so far az this county is con-
cerned. s. r. Brown, of this city, was
entitled to this appointment by right
of priority of application, the support
of nine. tenths of the patrons of the Of
flee and cordial endorsement of leading
republicans who are supposed to have
something to say about the distribution
of local patronage. The appointment
was not looked for at this time, and is
believed to have been made prematurely
to head off anticipated protests against
the appointment of Mr.. Ellison. The
people are thoroughly disgusted with
the sort of political trickery and the
peculiarly J~ohnsonian habit of playing
upon the nationality string.

CONFLICTING reports come from the
| Klondike, and it is the drift of sound
opinion that thousands will lose their
stakes and return poorer than when they
entered the country. With several
hundred thousand immigrants to the
gold fields, ever if the country is rich
enough to produce millions, it must be
remembered that it requires 81, 100000
to give every man of a hundred thous-
and miners an average of $40 apiece,
and should the country yield a hundred
million the coming year, it would be but
an average of $1,000 each for a hundred
thousand people. OF course, there are
some who will make lucky strikes and
return rich. And every man who goes
thinks he will be the lucky one. But
there will be thousands of disappointed
ones, who will have spent a year of
hardship and privation. and return pen
niless. But it is useless to discourage
those who are determined to go. Elk
perience is the only teacher whose les
sons will be of value to them.

The white settlers on the Sisseton
reservation, which is partly in South
Dakota and North Dakota, have every
good reasons for desiring the passage Of
the free homestead bill. The reserva.
ton was opened in 1892 to settlement,
conditioned On the payment of $3.50 an
acre and compliance with the terms oil
the homestead law. The Sisseton In
dams had selected their lands before
the white settlers had a chance, and the
land was given to them for their loyalty
to the government during the Indian
trouble and they got the cream of the
land. The white settlers are a thrifty
people, many being old union soldiers.
but have been unfortunate with their
crops and have had to buy feed for their

they have had a hard time, and they
ask that they may be freed from the OBJ

the land. Otherwise they will lose all
the improvements they have made.

northwest Oregon, Washington and
Idaho) which will be unprecedented in
it's rapidity. At present all eyes are
turned to the rich fields and the gold
hunters are on the move. But if the
number of these proves to be large and
the rich fields of such extent az to insure
their remaining, it necessarily cannot
be long until those who desire to secure
a share of the benefits withoutthe hard
ships and privations attendant upon
mining and a rigorous climate will turn
their attention to that section which
must derive tn" greatest and most direct
benefits, and this section is the Pacific
northwest. By reason of the nature of
the country and the character of it's
climate, agriculture, to any considerable
extent, is impossible in Alaska, and
general manufacturing impracticable,
so that in developing its mineral wealth,
it's population must draw their supplies
OF all kinds from the outside. AS the
agricultural section nearest thereto, the
Pacific northwest will be the natural
source of food supplies, while it's sea-
ports, having ample railroad facilities
and the advantage of proximity, will
naturally be the base of other supplies,
at least until such time as Alaska is
supplied with direct railroad COM
m%unication.

of the United States containing 41215
grains of standard silver, and that the
making such coins a legal tender in
payment of such bonds is not in viola
ton Of the public faith nor in derogation
of the rights of the public crediror.
The calling up of the resolution led to
one of the debates rendered so familiar
during the last few years. Mr.. Vest,
upon whose motion the Teller resolution
was taken up, frankly admitted that
the measure aimed at the free and un-
limited coinage Of s liver. Several amend
ments to or substitutes to the resolution
were proposed in the course of the
the week. One of these, proposed by
Senator Nelson of Minnesota, declared
it to be the duty of the government,
urder the existing laws, to maintain the
parity in value of it's gold and silver
money; another, in the nature of a sub
s%titute, proposed by Senator Spooner,
declared it to be the financial policy of
the United States to maintain the ex-
listing gold standard until an Internal
ional agreement with the leading com
mercial nations of the world for the free
coinage of silver shall be reported, and
still another, brought forward by Sena-
tor Lodge, insisted that all bonds of the
United States issued or authorized to be
issued under the acts of congress are
payable, principal and interest, in gold
coin or its equivalent, and that any
other payment without the consent of
the creditors of the country would be
in derogation of their rights and in vio-
lation of public faith. The resolution
was introduced more as a strategic
nov of the silverites to embarrass the
administration and the party in the
coming congressional campaign than
with an idea to the advancement of the
u of silver. since its adoption is i'm
possible, and would mean an immediate
transition to the silver standard basis,
if put into effect, and the cause of bime-
tallism would indeed be gone glimmer-
ing in that event.

strengthening of my nerves to Paine's
celery compound. Yours truly,
S1LAs d. DRAKE.
Nothing demoralizes the health sooner
or more completely than even the &C.
casional loss of sleep. To start a new
day with the brain unrefreshed is like
trying to keep a orn.out horse up to
his work with the whip instead Of by
feeding. The incessant brain activity
is as it the skull we're laid bare and the
surface of the brain we're struck lightly
every few seconds and without a sign Of
a ''let up"
Thus sleeplessness i~mperceptibly, but
no less surely, destroys the brain cells
that are the sources of mental power
and the health Of every organ Of the
body.
Paine's celery compound gets the
nervous system out of this dangerous
rut Of sleeplessness. It supplies nourish-
ment to the nervous tissues faster than
they are worn out, and does not let the
nutrition of these delicate parts get low
enough to bring on insomnia.
One OF the earliest evidences of the
final success of Paine's celery compound
in curing debility, nervousness, sleep
lessness and arrangements of liver and
Kidneys is the increased appetite, the
clearer skin, and that indescribable
precursor Of health, a feeling of "wellI
being" that takes the place Of the tired,
ianguid, melancholy condition.

principal among whom is the Grand

loyalty of the senator to his party in his
vote on the Teller resolution, when
other republican senators, particularly

to remain steadfast. Senator Hans

which provides that all bonds of the
