Military Company.

company
The second meeting for the purpose OF
forming military company was held In
Edson's hail Monday evening. During
the meeting Col. r. J. Kimball gave very
pleasant, Instructive and encouraging
talk. He said In part that military disci-
pline Is a fine thing for young men, but
he emphasized the fact that II military
company is formed here its members
should consider II serious matter and
should form 1t with the intention OF 60
ing into active service IL the governor
calls. He said 1t would be a disgrace II
members should refuse to go under such
conditions. He stated that since he was
on the governors staff In 80 he had been
interested In the formation OF military
company In Randolph and that he had
talked with the governor TO that effect;
and II II was considered best to form a
company pledged to serve in case 1t was
called upon he would equip 1t in first class
shape and see that II has everything to
make it comfortable and effective. In
closing Mr.. kimball said, 81 cannot enlist
myself, but am anxious to be OF some
service to my country. What little can
do is meager indeed in comparison with
what those OF you can do who give your
service; for there is nothing SO heroic as
the giving of ones self" Next Monday
evening, June 9th, at go, there will be
another meeting OF the military company
at Edson's hall. Every person who has
signed the roll OF membership is requested
to attend. At this meeting those that do

some Statistics.

By courtesy of Auditor Braddock, we
are enabled to give the followin E statistics
for the year 1897:
There were 104,5s0 pounds of butter
made in Emmons county. The value of
the poultry and eggs sold was $S47.OO.
There were II, ,638 sheep sheared, produc.
ing 95,836 pounds of wool. The value
of the animals fattened and killed for
home use was se,s75.oo. The value Of
cattle. sheep and hogs shipped was 3e7..
1900. The value of horses sold was
$9,293. The value Of all kinds of stock
brought into the county was SIS 900 90.
The number Of bushels 81 wheat harvested
was 295. 554; Of fax, 9,118 bushels. De-
Quoting say 10000 bushels Of wheat for
seed, and allowing say IS cents per
bushel for the balance, then adding the
cattle sold. and the wool at IA cents per
pound, and we have nearly quarter Of a
million of dollars. 10 this total no &C.
count is taken Of the flax. corn. oats and
butter. Certainly these items. with the
garden suff. would come near providing
for the liviDRsof the people. II will thus
be seen that the money brought into the
county during the year '97 is pretty near
q squarter Of million, 10 addition to the
food and clothing of the people. Which
Is not so bad for county no part Of
which 10 near railroad.

The Grand Forks Herald, true to its
principles of antagonism to the true and
tried leaders of the republican party in
all parts Of the country, has been singing
the praises of Ex- Congressman LaFol-
lette, who has been moving might and
main to defeat for reelection Gov. Sco-
field. of Wisconsin, said to be one of the
best executives that Wisconsin has ever
had. He has used the Winshipian cry of
ttMachinel" "Machinep' and denounced
everybody as corrupt who wouldn't train
under his banner. One day last week
the Wisconsin convention met, and, when
the votes had been counted, LaFollette
lacked about 200 of having as many as
Scofeld. 1t seems that it is just as up
hill work for a demagogue in Wisconsin
to fool all the people all the time as it is
for demagogue in North Dakota to do
the same thug.

NEWS was received last week that on
Saturday, August 18th, before news of
peace reached Admiral Dewey and General
Merritt, the city of Manila was captured
by their forces. The Spanish commander
was summoned to surrender inside of 48
hours, and, on his refusal to do so. the
American ships bombarded the forts in
the suburbs, while the land forces as
saulted the Spanish position and drove
the Spanish troops inside of the walled
city. The city was then surrendered to
the Americans. The attacking soldiers
lost about 40 killed and 100 wounded
The Spaniards lost about 500 in killed
and wounded, and about 1900 Spanish
troops were made prisoners.
