are not new to the public, except in a
few instances. Most of them have
served as state or county officials in the
past, and all are men of honor and
ability. All parties are not satisfied
with the choice of the convention, but
such a result was impossible. 1t is
certainly a fact that no ticket has ever
been nominated in this state that needs
so little apology as the one presented to
the voters this year.
Langdon Times: The Times supports
it from top to bottom and will use it's
best endeavors to secure the election of
every man init. While the ticket is
not exactly as this paper would have
arranged it, The Times is convinced,
from the long and intimate acquaint-
ance Of its publisher with the nominees,
that they are good men for the Offices
named and are, one and all, well quail
fed to administer the departments over
which they will soon preside for the
best interests of the taxpayers. Each
of the nominees is a time tried repub-
lican and the party can safely depend
on them to carry out the principles
enunciated in the platform.

THE DREADED
CONSUMPTION

7. A. Slocum, M. c., the Great Chem
list and Scientist, Will Send Free,
to the Afflicted, Three Bottles of
His Newly Discovered Remedies to
Cure Consumption and All Lung
Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more JOY to the afflicted,
than the offer Oft. A. Slocum, M. G.,
of 1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make it's
great merits known, he will send, free,
three bottles of medicine, to any reader
of the Bismarck TRIBUNE who is suffer-
ing from chest, bronchial, throat and
lung troubles or consumption.
Already this thew scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to human
ity-to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend
it, and more so is the perfect confidence
of the great chemist making the propo-
sition.
He has proved the dreaded consump-
ton to be a durable disease beyond any
loubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be. in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured, in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Adj

HIT With A ROCK.
Brakeman Stevens Has an Experience
with a Hobo that He'll Not
Soon Forget.
Only the Nickel Badge on His Cap
Saved the Crushing Of His
Soul.
The Assailant Run Down by Stevens
and Hackman casselman after
an Exciting Chase.
A Vicious Assault.

At4:30S Saturday morning as train No.
was about to pull out Fred Stevens, the
brakeman saw a man trying, as he
thought, to "beat his way" The man
got on the platform of one the cars and
Stevens asked him where was going. The
man said, "West." Stevens told the
man that he could not ride on the plat
form, that he must either go inside the
car or get off. The man refused to do
as requested. Stevens then pushed the
man from the lower step of the platform.
The man moved back about a rod and
picked up a rock and threw it at the
brakeman. This rock weighed about a
pound. 1t struck the ~brakeman's head
with great force, striking the nickel
plate cap badge, which is worn, just
above the cap brim. It bent the heavy
plate and though there was a thick
band between the plate badge and fore
head it cut deep into Stevens head.
Stevens ran across the track, met John
Casselman, the hackman, told him what
had occurred and asked for a pistol;
Casselman volunteered to join in the
chase, and the two, Stevens and Cassel-
man, again crossed the track. They
saw the man Q the ice house. They
ordered him to stop or he would be shot.
He stopped and said to Casselman as he
came up, swell I guess I'm in a bad
fix" Stevens wound was dressed by
DR.. Smyth and later complaint was
made by Stevens before Justice Tibbels.
The prisoner was taken before Justice
Tibbels at 10 o'clock a. m. for a hear
ing. Stevens testified as to the facts as
above stated. John Casselman also
testified to the chase, arrest of the
prisoner, and to finding the stone that
was thrown, and the condition Stevens
was in when he asked Casselman for a
pistol-"blood running down his face
and breast.' Sheriff Taylor also testi-
fed to the prisoners admission of the
assault.
The prisoner gave his name as Robt.
Schmidt. He wanted no attorney and
plead not guilty. He said Stevens
struck him; admitted trying to beat.his
way; admitted throwing of the stone,
and said Stevens had a club and threat
ened to shoot him, and that he picked
up a rock like the one shown him by
the states attorney, and threw it at the
brakeman. He said he came from
Jamestown; was going west; did not
pay his way from Jamestown to Bis
marck, and was trying to get weet on
the train when the brakeman put him
off.
Justice Tibbels bound Robt. Schmidt
ver to the district court under $500 bail.
Schmidt showed no fear or feeling
about the affair, and he aver bowed and
spoke to Brakeman Stevens when
brought into court.
The stone shown in court is smooth,
like a pocket worn boulder, and as it
was thrown Immediately after he was
put off the platform it is believed
Schmidt carried it in his pocket.
The prisoner was advised by the JUS
tice of his rights, but declined to ask
for an attorney.
Mr.. Stevens is an old-time brakeman
and n of the most reliable employees Of
the road.

A brother of Captain Clark Of the

Dakota and is visiting friends at the
Ayr farm in Cass county. He has some
good stories about his brother. Captain,
Clark was born on the same street as
Admiral Dewey and the two Vermonters
have gained fame in the same line.
When Captain Clark was a kid he raised
so much sheol around home that his
father attempted to get him into the
army. He wrote to Senator Morrill,,
who wanted to 9 the boy, and after q
talk finally persuaded him to go into the

G. A. KING DEAD.
An Old Resident of the Slope Passed
Away at al Early Hour this
Morning.
Fargo Argus Gets a New Editor and
Fargo a New Daily Paper.
J. Jordon, Editor.
Chester A. King Dead.

The not unexpected news of the death
of G. A. King, at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Eustic, Minneapolis, was received in
the city Monday morning. The demise
happened at 2 a. M, and was caused by
cancer of the stomach. He had
been failing for over a year and
as a last resort was taken to st. Paul to
have an operation performed, but the
disease had run too far to enable the
patient to successfully Withstand the
shock and vas removed to his sisters
residence. The remains will be in
tered in Lakewood cemetary, Minneap-
oils, on Wednesday.
Chester A. King was in the 57th year
of his age and leaves to mourn his loss
a wife and eight children. Of these
Mrs. King and seven of the children are
here now. The other daughter, Mrs.
Boyd, is a resident of Omaha. Mr.,
King was an honored veteran of the re-
bellion and served with great distinc-
ton in tho Eighth cavalry, which or
ganization he entered as a private and
was mustered out in 1865 as first lieu
tenant. He carried to his grave several
bullets received on the battle field and
was for a short time confined in Libby
prison. While in Libby Mr.. Kings
father, a captain in the Twelfth cavalry,
died there, himself a prisoner. After re-
ceiving his discharge he returned to his
old home in Franklin county, N. Y, and
managed the old homestead for a time,
afterwards removing to Brainered, MINI.
From this place he went to Fort
Berthold and was engaged there a con.
siderable period. From Berthold he
came to Bismarck, in the seventies, and
managed for a time the Capitol hotel.
At the time of his death he was q resi-
dent of Menoken, engaged in the dairy.
ing business as we'll as general farming.
Mr.. King was of kindly disposition, a
good friend and his death removes one
of the old landmarks of the Missouri
slope history. The sympathy of a large
number of friends go out to the
bereaved widow and fatherless children.

A Game Kid.

"a S0lnS ClUs
Fargo Forum: There was lots of ex.
citement in the Sixth Ward for awhile
last evening. The little 3-year old child
OF Christ Hanson was playing in Tiet-
gems yard when it fell IN the we'll. The
curbing was so small that several inef-
fectual efforts were made to get the
baby out and it seemed an impossibility
for awhile. A rope was attached to one
boy and he was lowered part of the way
but finally screamed so he had to be
taken out. Finally the little son of
Officer Barnes was lowered into the
we'll headforemost by rope attached to
his feet. He caught the girl by the
shoulders and nervily held on till both
were pulled to the top. It was a game
trick for the kid. The child was in the
water about twenty minutes but was
not injured. The water came up to it's
chin. The women and children in the
neighborhood were very much excited.

ing IN Regions or Alaska.
Washington, Feb. 12.-The war de-
partment has made public the advices
received from Capt. Ray. of the Eigh-
teenth infantry, who was sent to
Alaska to report on conditions in the
mining country. The report embraces
period from October 3 to November
and Is dated from Circle City and Fort
Yukon. The report shows serious
state of affairs; that trouble is threat
ened at various places and that there
IS serious danger at some points of lack
ot f5Od. owing to the failure of the
transportation companies to get in
sufficient supplies. Capt. Ray recon-
mends the esta blishment of post upon
the upper river and that the mouth of
Mission or American creek be chosen
as the site, with a sub-post if necessary
at Circle City. On the food question
he says:
The question of food here is a very
serious one and the action of the \. A.
I. and L. Co. is causing much friction.
try to reconcile all differences peace
ably and get all people who are with
out provisions down to Fort Yukon as
soon as possible, where there is an
abundance of food. / learn that while
food is scarce in Dawson City, the min
ers in the outlying camps are fairly
well supplied. While the situation is
critical, do not believe there will be
any great loss of life oeyond that Incl
dent to climate so rigorous as this.
That there will be much suffering
along the river and the trail no one
here will deny, but there is nothing
that should cause undue anxiety among
people in the states who have friends
in this country"
while here / am constantly being
appealed to to act where | have no
authority. | can only act as an arbi
traitor in the cause of peace. Appeals
come to me to know when, if ever,
the government is going to send in
officials to enforce the law. Miners
complain that they cannot perfect any
title to their mines, owing to the abb
sence of any land office. The depart
ments are sending out commissions to
commissioners, receivers and registers
who cannot qualify for obvious reasons,
the principal one being that there is
no official qualified to administer an
oath within a thousand miles of this
place. A commissioner is powerless.
as he has no power to enforce his de-
cisions. am only surprised that mat
terS are not worSeo
Il am satisfied that the greater part
of the gold belt lies in our territory.
along the range known as the Upper
Ramparts. Along the Tananah, Ma
nook creek, Birch creek and the head
of Forty Mile creek there are diggings
that will pay from $40 to $40 per day
per man now lying idle, as they will
not pay expenses at the present prices
of food. | am satisfied that with ade-
quate means of transportation and
cheaper food this will develop into one
of the greatest gold producing regions
in the world"
