A little corn on a mans foot grew,
Aching and throbbing as corn will

Pinched and rubbed by misfit shoe,
It grew.
One day the pain, it likewise grew,
Till the man exclaimed, what shall

This pain surely must subdue,
If but knew.
His friend then said, why haven't you

That is used everywhere with comfort

Mr.. Tufte is telling people that
the editor of this paper lied when
we said he was nota legal voter.
1t is no use in Mr.. Tufte telling
any such yarn. He knows, and
everybody else knows. that he
came to Cooperstown to locate
last October and that he has to
be in the state one year, which
would make him a legal voter
next month. Mr.. Tufte was an
nounced by the Minneapolis
journal as coming here to locate,
the said announcement being
made couple of weeks or so
prior to his arrival here. The
fact that Mr.. Tufte visited North
Dakota previous to this time
does not make him a citizen of
this state. We have visited
Minneapolis and st. Paul for the
past fifteen years but we are not
q resident of either place. The
bluff won't work, BENJAMIN.

Nailed Again.

of North Dakota a law fixing the
assessed valuation of railroads at
$4,000 per mile. When the board
of equalization met last year the
railroad lobbyists, of course,
were there, and offered to accept
$4,000 per mile as suitable as
sessment. After taking a recess
and presumably sharing in the
good cheer of the railway repre-.
sentatives, the board, upon mo-
tion, decided to place the assess
ment at $3,O00>per mile $4,000
less than the sum the railroads
were willing to accept.-Griggs
County Sentinel.
There is no law on the statute
books of North Dakota fixing the
assessed valuation of railroads
at $4,000 per mile. The legis-
lature of 1887 passed ajoint reso-
lution declaring that it was the
sense of that body that the rail
roads should be assessed at S., 600
prr mile. This was in no sense
law, but it was an instruction,
and whether the equalizing board
acted for the best interests of
the state in adopting a less sum
is an open question. Whatever
they did was in the belief that it
would contribute to the settle
ment of the unpaid railroad
taxes, and it is true they have
been paid as it was then under
stood they would be. There is
no truth in the statement that
the railroad lobbyists offered to
accept $4,000. The attorneys Of
the roads insisted upon the old
assessment, but the board raised
it considerably, but not to the
point demanded by the people,
but there is no reason to suppose
that they acted corruptly. An
examination of the records of as
sessments and a comparison of
assessed values will show that
the property of the state is as
sessed at about one-third it's
actual value. Even the Forum,
which takes the lead in tax fight
ing, does not pay a great proper
tion on it's actual valuation than
the. railroads are not taxed. Tax
reform should extend all along
the line, and all property should
pay its just proportion. Fargo

The middle-of.the.road popu.

The middle-of -the.road popu.|
list in convention assembled last
last week nominated Wharton
Barton, Of Pennsylvania, and
Ignatius Dornelly, of Mime
sofa, for vice-president, to run
on their ticket in 1900. The
straight out-and-out populists
have determined to cut loose
from the democrats and the
chances now are that there will
be three tickets in the field next
trip instead of two.
The Wimbledon News has been
sold to Messrs. Chas. White and
j. g. Grimmer, two ministers Of
that town. The '.devil" will have
a warm time of it in that Office
hereafter with two preachers
standing over him. The first
number under the new manage.
ment is somewhat spicy and
when the new editors get down
to work we expect to see them
evolve fine paper. Bro. Val
landigham did not state what he
was going to do and we hope to
see him embark in the newspa-
per business elsewhere. We
presume he would not accept the
management of our ball club next
season. How is it, Val?
The Trail county w. G. T. u.
has passed resolutions deroga-
tory to the character of State
Superintendent John G. Halland,
and the charge contained in the
sesolutions are said to be i'm
morality. This isa grave charge
and Mr.. Halland should immedi-
ately hasten to disprove the
charges if he can. The Courier
is 10th to believe the charges
made knowing that during q
campaign the opposition is very
apt to start canards, ETC., to the
detriment of some particular
candidate. The Courier will give
Mr.. Halland the benefit of the
doubt until he can be heard from
and if he does not clear himself
of the charge quickly we shall
have to accept the resolutions of
the Trail county ladies as being
true.
While the populist papers are
enjoying themselves by making
a big howl about the republican
board of equalization not asses
sing railroads enough last year,
it would be as well for these re-
formers who are always looking
after the interests of the dear
people-for' ofice-to pull the
beam out of their own eye first.
and then tell the people how the
populist board at the first and
only chance they had to do some
thing for the people when they
elected Mr.. Shortridge governor,
was to lower the assessment on
the branch lines of our railroads
$500 per mile or a total of
$Az,WO.
Yes, the populists are great peo-
pie to make promises but they
don't carry them out. The re.
publican board of equalization
this year raised the assessments
of the railroads to $4,000, a raise
of 81, 500 per mile or a total raise
in favor of the people of nearly
$4,oOO,O0O
on the main line and branches.

Young Jones things Rev. Ward is

The trouble is the outcome of one OF

to Atlanta as a rotten town.
Rev. Ward did not like this, and came
back at the evangelist, declaring Atlanta
to be very good SOFT of place.
