Durrant, the California mur.
derer, was hanged last Friday.
His has been a checkered career
since he was first sentenced, and
the legal battle fought by his at
torneys is unprecedented. He
was sentenced to hang on four
different occasions. three of
which he escaped by the shrewd.
ness of his lawyers. Every eff
fort was made to save the mur-
derer's neck, the last resort be-
ing an appeal to the United States
supreme court, but that body re.
fused to act and the murderer
has paid the penalty of his crime.
He died declaring his innocence.
It would be horrible if at some
later day it was discovered that
Durrant was innocent-yet such
things do occur once in a great
while.

There never was a time that
we can remember that the boys
of the state press we're SO busy
calling each other endearing
terms as at the this writing. 1t
augurs we'll for a lively campaign
but is at the same time ridiculous.
Two or three quarrelsome editors
start in snarling and backbiting
and of course draw other fellows
in against oheir wish and the re-
suit is that several papers are in
drlging in cat and parrot til,e
without any valid reason. This
may seem all right to the editors
but it is certainly anything but
news to the readers of the differ
ent papers. If news is scarce
fill up with snake" but let per-
sonalities alone. There is no
need of this everlasting swapping
and snarling at each other. Give
us a rest.

AS an indication of prosperity
we would call your attention to
the fact that right on top of pay
ing their 1896 taxes the farmers
of Griggs county have paid over
$27, 900 Of 1897 taxes, the largest
amount yet paid in so short a
time. This amount is over half
the total amount of taxes to be
collected and certainly shows
that our people are getting them
selves in better shape financially.
This state of. affairs exists all
over the state. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars of chattel
mortgage security has been re-
leased in this state in the last
twelve months. We do not lay
this to Mckinley or any other
man, but it certainly shows that
the northwestis prosperous and
that there is no use for calamity
howlers in this part of the coun-
try. The conditions speak for
themselves. We can't get around
the facts. You have got accept
