Wears Two Kinds of Labels.

The Grand Forks Herald has gone
back on its record, or else some mis-
creant has run in "a paragraph with
out Georges O.. K. An editorial ex-
pressing satisfaction with the nomin-
alton of Mayor johnson of Fargo for
state senator winds up with the dec
laration that "the Herald believes it
pretty good republicanism for the
majority of the voters to have their
way" This is so contrary to the re-
cord of the Herald that we cannot be-
lieve the paragraph was authoritively
inserted. The policy of the Herald
has always been that "the voice of
the majority shouldn't count unless
the Macedonian cry was for Winship.
1t cannot be that the supreme selfish
ness of the g rand Forks Herald bolt
er would allow the insertion of such
sentiment as-''the majority should
rule" Only few days ago the Her
aid reache d over Traill, Cass and
Richland county and declared that
the republicans nominees for the leg
| islature in Sargent county should
not or would not be elected. Where.
ever the Herald finds an opportunity
to out do its pop contemporary, the
Plaindealer, in throwing rocks at re-
publican candidates and republican
workers it doesn't fail to take advan-
tage of it. That is the kind of a re-
publian Winship is.--Blsmarck Trib.

They Can do it if They Will.

The firm of F. w. Mann & Son at
Devils Lake publish an advertise
ment in the Free Press of that city
which other firms throughout the
country may we'll take as a model.
Mann & Son are confident that they
can undersell the peddler, they know
that they do it right along, and they
take the proper means to let the peo-
pie know about it. In their big ad-
vertisement they publish statement
of the prices and amount of a bill
ordered by one of their customers
from foreign concern, and right
along side print their own figures on
the same goods. On a $40 bill of
groceries Mann Il Son saved their
customers $3.50. The result was
that after seeing Mann & Sons esti-
mate on the list the customer cancel
led his order to the foreign concern
and bought his goods at home. The
advertising of this through the col
umns of the home paper will send it
to nearly every person in Ramsey
county. It will add prestige to the
already advanced and prominent
position which Mann & Son have
scored in their campaign for trade
IN Ramsey county and the western
part Of the state. 1t is an example OF
business sagacity worthy OF being
followed by every business man in
h9 state.-Pt

A CORPORATION Soul.

A humane order has just been is
sued by the Chicago & North West
ern railway.
Impressed with the pitiable con-
dition OF a majority of the returning
soldiers, General Manager Whitman
of this road has determined that
none of the boys i'll blue who may
come into contact with his company
shall suffer for lack OF attention. The
North Western system covers five or
six states which furnished a large
proportion of the volunteers, and in
order that the boys may be treated
kindly on their way home, whether
discharged or on furlough, Mr..
Whitman has issued special instruc-
tions to every agent and conductor
on the entire system to give special
care and atten ton to returning SOL
diers en- route from camps to their
homes while upon the trains or at the
stations of the North Western. The
employees are instructed to be dill
gent to ascertain if any of the soldiers
are in need of food, and more par
ticularly if they are sick and require
medical attention. and if any such
are found he is to be attended to at
the expense of the company, if neces
sary. It will not be necessary for
the soldier to be in uniform to get
the advantage of the roads hospital
ity, for if he can show the proper
papers of discharge or furlough, he
will receive the same consideration.
"We cannot do enough for the re-
turning soldiers" said General Su-
perintendent Sanborn. in speaking of
the order. "The boys went down
there and faced death in a hundred
different ways, and those who escaped
are returning home debilitated and
worn out. They did this for what
Not for money; it is not in any sane
man to resign himself to death for a
money consideration. They did it
for the love Of country"
Other roads probably may follow
the North h-Western's humane move

Needs the 500.

Fargo needs the 500 railway as
badly as it nee.'sanything. The 500
has but little distance TO build to
enter Fargo. The 500 is the only
road having a main line in North
Dakota that was not brought under
the Hill influence to fight the people
and the laws. The 500 needs Fargo
but not as badly as Fargo needs
the Soo.-Forum.

HalIand's Defense.

A Hillsbro exchange publishes
the following in defense of Halland:
We are authorized to state by j. G..
Halland, relative to the insinuations
circulating throughout the state, and
used by his enemies and political op-
ponents to injure his candidacy for
re- election, that he emphatically de-
MES all such charges and insinu-
atoms. He desires to say to the
voters of this state that no such in
situations have been substantiated
by any competent witness or by affi.
davits or otherwise. At no time has
any member of the two families in
volved questioned the fact that the
two parties whose character has been
assailed are innocent. In further
evidence of this fact he produces the
sworn statement of the husband of
the lady in question, the same stat
ing: "That he is satisfied that each
and every statement or insinuation
in said atfidavits (referring to the
atfidavits circulated by the w. G. I.
w. contained so far as they imply
any immoral act on the part of his
wife or said J. G.. Halland, is false
and untrue The sworn statement
is dated HiIlsboro. North Dakota,
September 21, 1898, and attested by
the clerk of court for Traill county.
A similar statement of same date,
similarly attested and worded is
made and sworn to by Mrs. j. g..
Halland.
Furthermore, on the I'd day of
July 1898, a committee consisting OF
Rev. P, Langseth: supply pastor
of Rev. J.. Rorvik, who was abroad
for vacation, Mr.. George Festvog,
trustee of the Emmanuel Norwegian
Evangelical Lutheran Congregation
OF f1lllSDOTO, NOTGu DdhOGd. huA NIl'
A. Steenson, county treasurer OF
Traill county, Investigated the matter
at the request of the two families
concerned and made the following
written statement:
We, the committee find:
First. That the two families whose
rights are in question are aware OF
the facts in the case and especially
the husband of the lady in question
and Mrs, j. G.. Halland have no COM
plant to make, but that the families
are on friendly terms and are salts
fed that no rights have been infringed
on.
Second. That the rumors and evil
dence in the case do not indicate tina t
any wrong was done nor that there
is any probability of wrong doing
Third. That a certain amount Of
carelessness is evident in this, that
the parties have not on all occas ions
