Prof. Hastings Leaves Fort rotter

Prof. Hastings Leaves Fort Totem.
Prof. H. w. Hastings was in the city
Wednesday and states that he has
severed his connection with the Fort
Totten industrial school, his resigna-
ton taking effect today. He will put
in a harness shop at Oberon.
Mr.. Hastings has been the instructor
in charge of the harness department
at the industrial school for some six
or seven years and the character of
the work turned out by his pupils is
good evidence Of his own proficiency.
In addition he organized and in
structed the Indian band, which under
his leadership has gained the reputa-
ton of being one of the finest musical
organizations in the Northwest. While
it does not necessarily follow that be-
cause Mr. Hastings is leaving Fort
Totten the band will 20 out of
existence, it will certainly be hard to
find a leader who will be as successful
in training the Indian youths as he
has been.
The INTER-OcEAN and Mr.. Hastings
many friends in Devils Lake hope that
he will meet with unlimited success in
his new field.

Card to the Voters of Ramse,
County.

A Card to the Voters of Ramsey
County.
In Offering myself a candidate for
county auditor, to those of my fellow
citizens who do not know me, 1 would
respectfully state that I have received
a commercial and literary education.
Before coming to this country, /
commenced O nine year career in
London as a clerk in a postofice, and
later clerking in a large general store,
being next to the manager.
A year before leaving England I was
Her Majesty's postmaster Of my native
place, a large country district spread
over, and including several parishes,
with a general delivery of letters,
money order office, inland revenue
licenses, and savings bank.
Giving up that to emigrate to
America, to obtain, as l figured then
q landed estate out of Uncle Sans
free domain.
J. came direct to North Dakota in
April, 1884, and settled at Freshwater
where my neighbors, without s%olicita-
ton, have repeatedly and kindly
honored me in %electing me to the
various offices Of supervisor, town
clerk, justice'of the peace and clerk
of the school board, having held the
last named offices several years and
still hold them.
Last general election, 1 was elected
county surveyor, but failed to qualify
as I could not afford to buy the expen-
sive surveyors outfit, taking everything
into consideration. AS to my prin-
ciples and character as a citizen, / can
refer anyone with whom I am not &C.
quainted to my neighbors of Fresh
water and Webster townships. If
elected my whole time will be devoted
to a conscientious and faithful dis
charge of my duties.
Assuring my friends and all the
voters of Ramsey county it will be my
aim to have always my actions and
influence range on the side of pro-
erosion, economy and good govern
ment. I hope to be, respectfully,
Your faithful servant,

Killed by Lightning.

John Plouyum and Hans Anderson,
of Benson county, two well-to-do
Norwegian farmers, we're struck by
lightning and instantly killed last
Friday afternoon. Another man named
Larson was struck blind by the same
fash. It happened at the dedication
of a new Lutheran church in Albert
township, twelve miles west of Mime
waukan. Some 300 people were present
at the dedication services and they
we're leaving the church as the storm
approached. The lightning flash
which killed the men also destroyed
the belfry of the church and did con-
siderable other damage.

The Sultan and our Missionaries.


The Porte has demanded the recall
of two American missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on the pretext
that their mission is likely to cause
disturbances. "The sick man of
Europe" is as unreasonable as his
political health is feeble. AS a bright
contrast to his obstinacy and stupidity,
the people of America are acknowl-
edging far and wide the benef1cence of
the mission of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, namely, to relieve and prevent
malaria, rheumatism and kidney COM
plant, chronic dyspepsia, constipation
and liver trouble. The nervous, the
weak and the inf1rm derive unspeak-
able benefit from its use, and it greatly
mitigates the weakness and inirmities
which are specially incident to ad-
vancing years.

Judging by present appearances
Ramsey county will not be apt to turn
out a record breaking wheat crop this
year. The grain seems to be thin on
the ground and very weedy. Much de-

been of great benefit. Flax, barley

The report that the Great Northern
has made a decided reduction in its
freight rates in this state is
in line with statements made
by officials of the road some
time ago. A reduction was made
throughout Minnesota some days ago

North Dakota would naturally follow.

its competitors. Whatever else may be
said of the Great Northern, it is the
first road to reduce freight rates-it

leader in the work of bringing new
settlers into the state.

The Light Plant.

Allen Tompkins and his corps of
assistants are busy in an effort to
hasten as much as possible the time
when Devils Lake, by night. will be
lighted by electricity. just when that
time will be it is impossible now to
state, but it will not be many days
before the dynamos will commence to
%revolve and transmit the lightning
thus generated to all parts of town.
The Offices and plant of the Devils
Lake Electric Light and Telephone
Exchange are situated on Fifth street,
two doors east of Kelly avenue. The
plant to furnish the lights occupies a
room 25x65 feet and consists of a
dynamo and engine with their neces-
sary appurtenances. The dynamo, to
use phrases with which the student of
electricity is familiar, is 40 kilo watts,
equal to 10000 watts; 3T watts making
one candle power. Consequently the
dynamo now set up Is capable of
furnishing ia sixteen candle power
lights, which a be increased to 1000
lights.
The company now have orders for
$50 incandescent and two arc lights
but, yet, no contract has been made
with the city to light the streets and
thoroughfares.
The telephone company is doing q
splendid business and the citizens,
who have awaited themselves of the
opportunity for its use, speak in high
terms of the service that is being
rendered. There are already SO tele.
phones in 8 and between Is and &c
