T. c. RANSOM DEAD.
Ex-Assistant Attorney General of til.
State Passes Away Suddenly
At Grafton.

Bismarck people will remember Hon.
7. G. Ransom, who was a resident Of the
city for two years as assistant attorney
general under G. A. M. Spencer. His
sudden death is thus noted by the Walsh
County Record: "For the second time
during the last week the death call was
heard within our little city. Following
SO closely the death Of Mr., Bates on Sun
day morning, Oct. 80, the announcement
of the death Of Mr.. Ransom on the morn
ing of Wednesday, Nov. 2, came like a
shock upon the people. Although MI.
Ransom had passed his allotted three
score years and ten and had been in
somewhat feeble health for nearly a year,
yet he was about the house and grounds
each day and was expecting soon to be
up town again. On Wednesday morning
he had arisen at his usual time at 1880
and Dor after the family heard a noise
in his room as though something had
been dropped, but hearing nothing fur
ther, thought nothing Of it. At o'clock
Mr.. Spencer came down and as usual
went to Mr.. Ransom's room and found
him stretched at full length on the floor
and dead, apparently having died with.
out a struggle. In his hand was a comb
with which he had apparently been
combing his beard before the glass. DR..
Glaspel was at once summoned and pro-
nounced the death probably caused by
the rupture Of a blood vessel at the base
Of the brain. The funeral was held at
the Presbyterian church Friday after.
noon at 2 o'clock, Rev. DR.. Mcdonald
officiating. It was under the direct con
troll Of Crescent Lodge, No. II, A. F. and
A. NJ; of which body Mr.. Ransom had
been a member for many years and Of
which he was q past master.

two floors are filled with tho large stock
essential to a first class grocery estab-
lishment. The building is lighted by a
large skylight and the arrangement of
goods on tho second floor is visible from
below, making an effective display. The
store is lighted by two large arc lights
and heated by furnace. On the main
floor last night was to be seer an effec-
tive and elaborate display Of every gro
GERS staple and fancy article. The
shelves are laden with goods displayed
in all styles. One side is devoted to q
display of canned goods, fancy groceries,
ETC., and the other to the crockery and
glassware department, which there is
q full assortment. The counters are SO
constructed as to permit of the display
of goods underneath, and the shelves
constructed to give the most effective
prominence to goods placed thereon.
At the rear of the building is the meat
department, everything there being new,
conveniently arranged and accessible.
Fish troughs, oyster racks, ice boxes.
everything is found, durable, handsome
and convenient. Although the establish
ment is extensive there is barely room
for the large stock Of goods carried, and
all available space is occupied.
There was a large number of visitors
at the store last evening and all were
pleased at the display, the store, and
were liberal in their praises Of the whole
establishment. Each lady purchaser
was given q souvenir printed ribbon and
q flower, which had been provided for
the occasion.

supported himself. He worked on "a
farm until he waesixteen,years Of age,
obtaining as compensation his board and
clothing and three months schooling in
the winter. When sixteonyears old he
entered a country store, where he re-
manned two years, receiving e4S as com
pensation for the first years services
and $72 for the second. Subsequently
he went to st. %Johnsbury, VT, where he
was employed for two years in the store
Of the Fairbanks Scale manufacturers,
after which he devoted himself to secur-
ing an education. BY teaching winters
and laboring on a farm summers and
doing other odd jobs he was enabled to
graduate from the Norwich University
in the class Of 1877. He was principal Of
Albany Academy during the school year
of 1877 and 1873 and then read law in
Montpelier, VT, until he was admitted
to the bar on the 18th Of March, 1880.
He served as a clerk in the legislature
OF Vermont during the session of 1873.
Quite a number of young men who
subsequently be came residents of North
Dakota were reading law in Montpelier
at the same time Mr.. Spalding was there
among them being Judge Templeton
and George B. Clifford Of Grand Forks.
Mi. Spalding's ancestors were English.
On his fathers side his ancestor settled
in Virginia in 1919, and in 1880 located
in Massachusetts,. and the Folsom ances-
tor settled in Massachusetts, in 1858.
Members in both families in great num-
Der have been engaged in all the colonial
and other wars of the country. Four
great grandfathers served in the war Of
of the revolution, and his grandfather
Spalding in the wal Of 1912.
Nj. Spalding located in Fargo March
81, 1880, and this city has been his home
since that time. He has never been a
seeker for Office although he has taken
an active interest in all, political ques.
tions, and in 1892, 1898 and 1894 was
! chairman of the republican state com
mittee, and inl 1855 wa chairman Of the
Cass county republican committee.
; He has been a member of every re
publican state committee and in the two
, state conventions of 1895, was chairman
of the committee on resolutions and
author of the platforms which included
lucid and forceful statements Of the re,
publican principle of sound money.
I In 1882 to 1884 he was superintedent
of public instruction for Cass county.
In 1880 he was elected from this count,
3 as a member of the convention which
framed the constitution of the state, ant
, served while there on the committees OF
judicial department and school and pub
lie lands. He was also a member on tn,
. joint commission provided by the Enab
ling act to divide the property ant
archives of the territory of Dakota be
3 tween the two new states. He was al

explanation Of. the situation in North
Dakota and pays a tribute to Editor
Winship thus: North Dakota republi-
cans are on the anxious seat about their
candidate for the governorship, although
they think they will elect the congress-
man by about 1900 plurality. It appears
that the editor Of oneot their most infu-
ential papers, the Grand Forks Herald,
wanted to be- governor, but was beaten
in the convention. He has retired tenn
porarily from the state, to nurse his dis
appointment, but in the meantime his
paper continues publication andis largely
given over to signed articles by "Old
Soldier" and "Vox Populi," advising
Grand Forks republicans to administer
a rebukes to the party bosses by electing
to the governorshipth the democraticc andi.
date, David B. Holmes. The latter is
very popular at home and in adjoining
counties and the republicans admit that
he may pull through.
In the Mandan Pioneer, both candi-
dates for the state senate have cards
thanking theSyoters for electing them.
The election there will probably result
in q contest q it is claimed by therepub-
licans that the votes for McDougall by
sticker we're in many cases illegal-that
sample ballots were plastered with Nc
Dougall stickers, etc. McDougall has
majority of the vote as returned.
Editor Packard was defeated for the
states attorneyship over in Morton
county by the democratic leader, Jim
Campbell.
As the returns from the counties con-
tinue to be received the republican
majorities are increased and the ton
thousand figure promises to be reached
or exceeded.
Returns from the legislative districts
show an overwhelming republican
majority in both houses Of the lcgisla-
ture and on joint ballot. According 10
the latest indications, there will be only
seven fusion members in hesitate senate
and eight in the house, or a total men,
bership Of only fifteen out of ninety
three, giving the republicans a member
ship of seventy-eight or a majority Of
sixty-three, on joint ballot. Only four
counties in the state return fusion mem
bers of the house.

navies In building for the last five years battle

struction Bureau has rejected Commodore Mel

In the least believe in the need Of mobility, SUI
cling TO the coastdefence fetch, and were bulld-
Ing battle ships rather than monitors or hoat-
inc batteries simply because Congress ordered
some battle-shps. They are apparently TO De

.,rct plan is the one already made, because II
saves trouble II does save little time, too;
but inasmuch as five other batte-ships are
nearly completed. and monitors which are
quickly built are to be laid down. it would seem
as II proceedings were being taken with re-
markable blindness to orr chief naval weak
ness which happens to be at the one point
where, In view Of new sea conditions. navy
ought to be particularly strong.
Commodore MelvIlle's design for quadrupe-
expansion engines and water-tube boilers does
not mean superiority simply in the matter OF
two knots. 1t means greater coal-carryins

in both elements which go to make moDlllty.
