North Dakota in the War.

"AaAudA loilCSl.- Wv HeIl lIlc WdT IS dill
over, book should be written, entitled
"North Dakota in the War;" 1t should
be personal history of the men-oficers
and privates-who have gone to Cuba,
Manila and other points in the service
of their country. Some of the material
should be gathered for this work at once.
A literary man of native talent should
take it up. There is everything in the
world in the manner of writing. The
narratives of the soldiers should be care
fully winnowed. There would be good
deal of chaff as we'll as wheat, if every
thing we're taken. Much should be
omitted from this proposed permanent
record of North Dakota in the war.
Penny-a-liners have written good deal
extolling themselves or their friends, and
many of the soldiers already occupy
false position before the public. The
Pioneer may be pardoned if it names
few of the gallant men who have gone
from this state to represent their country
wherever duty might call. This list is
not in any sense exhaustive, but enough
will be said to indicate that there is fer
tile field to work in.
There is Captain Auld of Dickinson,
and we put him in the front advisedly.
Captain Aud was in the civil war, and
we should say he is e. years of age. He
went to the front in 1893 as he did in 1861,
but in 1893 he left his Office of register
of deeds and his family behind him, for
he believed that he heard the voice of
duty calling. There is Will Smith, for
merly of Mandan, an officer from Wis
consin. He has some good stories to tell
of army life in the tropics. Editor
Moffet at Manila is making an excellent
record, and his newspaper experience
enables him to properly exploit himself
through the columns of the northwestern
press. Moffet seems to have struck his
proper gait beyond all question. At
torney Simpson OF Dickinson, did not do
any actual fighting of Spaniards, but he
was one of the quarter of million of
brave boys who were ready to fire at the
drop of the hat. Attorney Hildreth of
Fargo, left the delightful occupation of
securing divorces for blonde mis6ts, and
is at the war in the Philippines, chafng
to get home and wallop the pops who
put him on the ticket of the lost cause.
He will have hundredsof good narratives
to give his chums when he once more
gets to the banks Of the Red River of
the North.
And SO it goes; Just the mere mention
of this handful of soldiers is enough to
convince anybody that if the right man
takes hold of this subject, there is mine
of interest in it. There is measure of
health and strength in the North Dakota
boys that is unexcelled by those Of any
other state, and this very fact will 60 far
to make their experiences all the more
interesting. Every soldier should have
a place in the proposed book, and every
body would want copy.

Council Meeting Fails,

The city council failed of a quorum last
night and after waiting until $40 o'clock
the four members present adjourned until
tonight. The absentees were Barrett, Kelly,
Wear and Fanferlik. Mayor Ensor was
considerably put out on account Of the negli-
gence Of the members and did not hesitate
to say so. He remarked that 1t was strange
that the council could not get together once
a month and transact business. Continuing
the mayor said that he could not under
stand how people would seek an office and
then fail to attend to the duties devolving
upon them after being elected. The en-
ployes Of the city were waiting for their last
months pay and he considered it an out
rage that the council should treat the city's
servants in that manner. No one seemed
to know what kept four Of the members
away, but 1t was openly asserted that a
deal Of som sort Is undergoing the incu-
batting process. The mayor stated that
Kelly had t%elephoned him as late as 5
o'clock, announcing that he would be out
Of the city. Wear was seen on the streets
in the early evening and told a friend that
he would attend the meeting. but when 1t
came to a count Of noses he was missing.
