THB fusion TICKET.
The Fusion Committees After Con-
siderable Travail Nominate a State
Ticket at Fargo.
Headed by D. M. Holmes Of Grand
Forks for Governor, With Bentley
Lieutenant Governor.
Other Nominees are Gathered in
Through the State and Persuaded
to Accept.
The Fusion Ticket.

The committees appointed by the
populists and democrats to fix up a
ticket for the ''people"-as represented
by a pat few of the democrats and popu-
lists-named a ticket at Fargo Wednes-
day night and announced the men for
whom the %fusionists will make their
state campaign. The nominations are
as follows:
Member of Congress-H. M. Creel of
Ramsey.
Governor-D. NJ. Holmes of Grand
Forks.
Lieutenant Governor-W. A. Bentley
of Burleigh.
Secretary of State-Samuel. Torger.
son of Trail.
Auditor-C. G. Babe of Richland.
Treasurer-Thos. Bolton of Walsh.
Attorney Generals. B. Bartlett of
Cass.
Superintendent Public instruction
G. G. Schmitt of Stutsman.
1llol1 hIlSC SOlQl1lSSlOuCI w. WI,
Campbell.
Commissioner of Agricultural. l..
Whipple of Ransom.
Judge of the Supreme Court-C. j.
Fisk of Grand Forks.
Railroad Commissioners-Robt. Elem
ing of Cavalier, N. H. Bjornson Of
Dickey and H. L. Hevener of Stutsman.
In c%ortrast'to the nomination of the
republican ticket-which was made by
delegated representatives from all over
the state-550 delegates and not to ex-
coed twenty-five proxies in the conven-
tion-the fusion ticket was put up by a
select committee which was empowered
to name whatever candidates stood the
best chance of winning-and the fusion
organs talk about machine conventions.
The nomination for supreme Judge was
offered to Judge Corliss-but the Judge
understands the cause of his defeat in
the republican state convention-from
the inside knowledge of the Grand
Forks delegation-the Herald and
Straub's cartoons to the contrary not
withstandipg-and declined to accept
the nomination. It is further reported
on reliable authority that Judge Corliss
will resign from the supreme bench be-
fore long and go into a law partnership
with John NJ. Cochrane of Grand Forks
which will make one Of the best law
firms in the state.
Holmes, the fusion candidate for gov
ernor, has been treasurer of Grand
Forks county and was decided on after
much discussion as to the most avail.
able man for the job. DR.. Bentley was
wanted by the populists as their nominee
for congress, but got the lieutenant COVER
norship-while Creel was nominated for
congress-which ought to tickle Spald-
ing, who could not have named a better
man-to run against. After Judge Cor
liss refused to accept the nomination
Charley Fisk of Grand Forks was named
as candidate for supreme judge-as he
has IN Office now as district Judge, and
it will be no especial inconvenience for
him to make the race, and he will not
be out of an Office when the campaign is
over-like the other fellows. Bolton of
Walsh is one of the old time democrats
of Walsh county-where the republican
candidate for the anne Office halls from.

Tried to Wreck a Train.

The Fargo Argus of Saturday con-
tains the following account of the at
tempt to wreck a Northern Pacific train:
Last evening as No. 4 the N. P. pas.
senger from the west pulled from the
station at Sanborn and after it had
nearly passed the yard limits, great ex-
citement prevailed among the passen-
gers aboard, some twenty in number, by
the sudden application OF the air breaks.
The cause of the sudden stop was soon
made known as a man was seen running
across the the field headed for the ad-
joining wheat field to conceal from pur-
suers..
The train left the station shortly after
6 O'Clock and as it approached the
switch at the east end of the yards En-
gineer Trueman noticeda man standing
at the switch. AS the train drew near
the switch Mr.. Trueman saw the man
suddenly turn the switch and quickly
make his flight. The air was applied
and the train came to a sudden stop.
Superintendent Wilson was aboard the
train and he at once ordered the train
pulled back to the station and a posse
of men vas dispatched to give chase
after the man who had undoubtedly in
tended to wreck the train.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Wilson that
the work was that of one the numerous

Winship Not as Big a Man.

Dickey County Ledger: It has been
stated that Geo. B. Winship will accept
a nomination for governor on the "what
is it" ticket. Failing to secure the
nomination in the republican owen
ton, Mr.. Winship's Herald is already
shouting 'gang" rule and intimates
the personnel of the ticket unworthy
and unrepresentative" though in what
particular he sayeth not. Mr.. Winship's
expressions in the Herald, however, are
not IN accord with those made by that
grand statesman and able representative
of the Grand Forks delegation in the
state convention, John M. Cochrane. who,
regretting sadly the defeat of his county
candidates, paid a glowing eulogy to N.
G. Young and F. B. Fancher and
pledged the support Of Grand Forks
county to the ticket.

Shipments of Range Cattle.

Shipments of cattle from the ranges in
the western part of the state have begun,
the first trainloads passing through the
city the first Of the week. The ship
ments will be heavy ssthis year for the
reason that three of the largest cattle
outfits in the western part of the state
are going out of the business, and have
instructed their range foremen to
gather all animals that are any way fit
for shipment and market them. These
firms are the 'sThree Sevens, the COX"
and the "Seven Bar Seven" H. s..
Boice is the manager of the first and
one of the principal owners, Towers and
Gudgell of the second, and the third
brand is owned by the Custer Cattle
company. The total number of head Of
stock owned by the three firms is prob
ably $4,000.
The focking of the small ranchmen to
the big ranges is the reason for the SELL
ing out of the big fellows. All of the
watering places have been taken up and
fenced in many instances and it is diff
cult to keep cattle on the range at
large.

Three Little Lovers Of Nature.

Happy children are welcome visitors
to our homes, and am sure you will be
glad to become acquainted with the
three little children that will introduce
to you.
Marjery, a lively girl 10 years old,
with big black eyes and light curly hair,
was always running or jumping and
couldn't be still five minutes at a time,
Helen, her sister, only two years
younger, had an entirely different ma
ture, quiet and sober and was too fat
to run or jump very much.
Their brother Harry, just years old,
was like Margery, full Of life and al
ways In mischief. One reason for their
happiness was that they were always
busy.
The children almost dreaded the hot
summer days, but their mamma told
them one day that they were going to
take long journey to the seashore.
OF course this was glad news, and even
their dreams were full Of happiness.
When they arrived at Wildwood, their
summer home, they found q beautiful
wood full of old holly and cedar trees
covered with long hanging moss, with
bright flowers growing underneath like
q beautiful poppy on one side Of the
railroad. On the other side was q wide
smooth beach over which the blue wa
ters Of the ocean rolled and tumbled;
Che children thought they must surely
have arrived in heaven. Oh, the bright,
happy days they spent ON that beach,
digging In the sand, making sand cakes
and pies, forts and caves, hunting for
crabs and sea shells, and once In while
seioicing to find live star fish.
when papa comes / mean to ask him
to take US TO the light house and see
how they make such bright light,
\ said Harry.
So the next time papa came to see
them the children begged him as soon
N as he stepped from the train, to take
them to the Cape May light house. Papa
said he would, so OFF they started on the
very next train. When they arrived at
Cape May City they took an electric car
To the light house, which was quite a
4long distance down the beach. How

ing to instructions.
"Four days later had the happiest
hours / had known for years. That night
went to sleep easily and slept sOundly as
a child and awoke refreshed.
"After / had taken four boxes Of the
pills, found that was cured and had also
increased 27 pounds in weight.
This greatly surprised my friends, who
thought my case was hopeless one. | be-
gan my work again and have continued
ever since In excellent health.
Another valuable gain to me was, that

formed when was boy and had clung
to me ali these years. The craving for
tobacco left me and | have never expe-
rienced II since.
II cannot say enough for these pills and

made affidavit to its truthfulness before

Lighting the Stars.

Mabel Green is a Brooklyn five-year-
old. She is full of odd conceits. The
other evening she stood at the window
of her home with her pretty face fiat
tened against the pane, intently watch
ing slowly gathering storm. Darker
grew the low hanging clouds, but Mabel
showed no signs of fear. Instead her
features were animated and she ap-
peared to be absorbed in the scene. Even
when a violent clap of thunder seemed
to rend the heavens and forked lightning
flashed, the child was unmoved. At
last, firing of the sight, Mabe turned to
her mother, sitting near:

Mamma thanked the fisherman for all
he had told them and said they would
come again to Angelsea to learn more
about fish. The fisherman gave mamma
some fish to take with them to Wild
wood for their supper. The children
carried them home, and when they were
cooked they thought they tasted better
