they have become the representative Of
the corporate power of wealth Of this
nation. To belong to the republican

10 these days and think for yourself, and
the control of that party rests in New

west, men will not stand it. Theresre not
enough gold republicans left west OF the
Missouri river to carry county in any
state, hardly. And when the Teller res
olution passed the senate the other day,
and those republican party senators from
the west who had betrayed their people
and supported Mckinley, and voted for,
that resolution, they helped the cause Of
silver, because their followers in the
western country went over to the other
republicans.
The silver republicans of the United
States did not leave the republican party
to join the the democratic party; they
did not leave the republican party to
join the populist party; they left the
republica party to follow principle, and
wherever the banner is raised which
stands for fight against corporate
greed, against the money power Of the

there you will find the silver republicans

In this hall, in 1892, I sat as delegate
when Mr.. Harrison was nominated on q

party for it's reoresrcy to silver, and
pledginR the republican party to restore
silver as basic money. l doubted them
then, but in the face of their platform

and went as delegate again at the head
OF my delegation to St. Louis. WAS q
candidate OF the silver forces for the
chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tions, and was badly beaten by Mr., For
aker, ss you can easily imagine. In that
committee on resolutions their plank Of
fered by the silver men was voted down.
Finally, when, with tears in their eyes,
the middle western republican congress-
men begged the committee to put some
thing in by which they could fool their
people they gave them their internstion-

A new ERA
In Threshing Grain Promised
"A N. ID. Mans Scheme For
Cutting Expenses.

Henry Vessey OF Eldridge, who has
recently returned from Minneapolis, has
an enterprise in hand OF the greatest
Importance to the farmers 1t this
county. Speaking Of it be says:
II have made arrangements whereby
I will be able to furnish threshing ma.
chimes that can be had for one third the
price OF the ordinary machines, and
which can thresh all kinds o: grain for
half the sum usually paid. We can
thresh wheat for four cents bushel.
The new machine is not yet on the
market, but will be this summer.
I'VE have formed q company for the
manufacture of these QUITS and took
the idea from John Buckwslrer of Wind
sor, q farmer of this county who has for
two seasons threshed grain with CON-
b,nstlon gasoline engine attached in q
rough way to q separator and moved on
the separator, dong away with sll
danger Of explosions and the expenses Of
steam power, extra crews, etc. There is
no change in separstors. the reduction
IN cost comes in the power.
1T will be something OF a revolution
10 the threshing machine business and
many farmers can afford to have ma
chimes OF their own: As for power the
gasoline engine will afford all the power
that feeders can lay to. We expect to
manufacture halt a dozen machines in a
short time when their operations can be
fully demonstrated.

SHEEP PROSPECTS.
North Dakota Fat Stock Bring
Higher Prices Than any
Range stock.

Hon. A. C. Sanford OF Cathsy, Wells
county, returned home today from trip
to Chicago and eastern points. he took
with him to Chicago car of sheep raised
on North Dakota grass. The lsmbe
realized IS. 60 and the old sheep $3.50.
He met good many stockmen while
gone and discussed the outlook for stock
with men who are we'll posted from all
parts OF the United States. Mr.. Sanford
Gays.
1.-The prospect for good prices for
sheep Is better now than it has been for
years and they will probably be higher
this fell than ever before in North Da-
kota. There is more money now in
sheep than cattle. The reasons for higher
prices IN sheep are that buyers picked
up all available sheep very close last fall
all over the United States. Feeders
will next fall be scarce and the lambs
are worth more to keep than to SELL The
weathers will be sold bnt there will not
be enough to supply the demand"
"The Australian losses last year we're
immense owing to the great drouth
which cleaned out many big ranches
that we're over stocked. In Montana
breeding ewes are said to be worth s4.45.
Sheep men do not care to cell at all.
This condition is unusual and feeders
are bound to bring big price.
Cattle raising in North Dakota will
soon be more profitable than in Mon
tans. North Dakota fat cattle are fat
ter and in better condition when proper
ly marketed than Montana beef. There
is more money, in raising stock on wheat
farms than raising wheat. A quarter
section OF CORD cnt with corn binder
makes feed that IS the very best in the
world. An acre Of corn Stake will carry
g steer through the winter and in my
own experience have never sold we'll
bred steers for less than from go to $40,
sometimes more figure that it costs
50 for every expense Of raising steer
three years old in this part OF North
Dakota. This includes herd,Dg, feeding,
winter,nR and every incidental ex>
pense in this part OF the northwest"
Druggist Coulter has reopeped his
drug store at Dawson, and it is stated
the prohios have dropped the case
against him. and it appears that it was
the result Of personal prejudice rather
than justice.

A GRAND OPENING.
Of Good "Hot Stuff" at The
Court House.. .-BarrelIs,
Kegs and Bottles.
Jugs, Casks and Packages Bro.
ken and Contents Spilled
On the THIRSTY Ground.
An Emotional Crowd Sees a
Tribute Paid to the Pro-
hibitiOn Law.

The stock of liquors seized IN the City
Drug store by order of the court last
September was Saturday removed from
court house, where they have been in
the custody of the sheriff, and publicly
destroyed in the presence Of large
crowd OF spectators. The liquors have
been kept in cell in the Jail and one by
one the packages, about $50 all told,
were carried out solemnly by the depu.
ties to the rear OF the court house
grounds where the sheriff waited with
Ak and torch. The heads of the barrels
were knocked IN and the contents gushed
out on the ground and mingled with the
fallen snow and the grosns of the spec.
tators. Every blow that crushed bottles,
jugs, casks, and barrels brought out q
kick from come one, josh for the sheriff
and jokes with one another. A sacri-
ticlal pyre composed of barrels and
wooden casks was set afre and
as the flames communicated with
the flood on the ground aud little
tongues Of flames f1oated here and there
over the mixed drinks" visions OF what
might have been, appeared to the as.
semblage. The temporary escape of an
"original package" from the ak, that let
nothing escape, was greeted with shout.
Cases OF pint and quart bottles were
thrown on the ground and the head Of
the AK soon commingled broken glass
with the contents of Old Pepper, Black
Hawk whiskey, wine, claret and plain
alcohol. One by one bottles of Holland
gin were destroyed aud one blow of the
Ak wasted Jug Of histrolc New England
rum. Nothing but the corks we're left
to smell and tell the tale. It was the
highest priced bon fire Jamestown has
seen for many day.
When the drug store was closed by the
sheriff large amount OF liquors we're
seized in bottles, barrels, casks and jugs.
According to the inventory OF the sheriff
there were seized SS packages of whisky
Bourbon, rye, Black Hawk and Old
Pepper-aggregsting about lO5 gallons.
This, if sold at retail, would have pro.
duced about 1915. There was seized a
barrel and bottle OF alcohol, containing
about 20 gallons that would have sold
for about $50. The Is packages Of port,
sherry and sweet claret wlne-ten gal.
Ions would have retslled for about $50
and the 81 packages Of grape and French
brsndy--sggreRating about 9 gallons
would have cold for about S72. A keg
and five bottles Of Holland gin, con-
tanned about two and half gallons and
are ssld to be worth, at retail, about $40.
A jug of New England rum, q Jug of
Jamaica rum and two quart bottle Of
rum would have brought at retail about
$50. Altogether there was seized $50
Rsllons OF liquor which at retail prices
was worth 51,10O.
