Democrats to Down Bryan.

Democrats to Down Bryan.
The refusal to invite Col. Bryan
to the Jefferson birthday anniver-
sary celebration whiclf Tammany
is to have next month, and the
movement to nominate Agustus
Van Wyck for President in the
Democratic National Convention in
1900, plrtend q disturbance in the
Democracy even more serious than
was that which rent it three years
ago. The shutting out of Bryan
from the Tammany gathering is
such an unusual circumstance that
it will arouse a good deal of con-
Germ among Democrats and attract
the interested attention of Republi-
cans. 1t has beon the custom for
Tammany to invite distinguished
Democrats of all factions to its
gatherings. Cleveland was often
biddcn to attend although Give
land was never favored by Tam
many for any Office. Bryan's cx-
clusion, therefore. has deep signifi-
cancc.
Equally portentolss> is the move
ment to give Van Wyck the nomi-
nation. The fact that many South
ern Democrats are cnEsting under
the Van Wyck banner .makes this
assault on Bryan particularly seri-
Gus. This schis1n in the Democrat
ic ranks means that the split of
1900 in the Democracy will strike
that party nearer the middle than
| the one in 1896 did. Then it was
the East, or a section of it, against
the West and South. Next year it
promises to be the East and the
South, or a large part of the South
against the West. Croker has
more than once intimatc1E in the
past twelve months that the New
York Democracy would never sup
port Bryan again. Apparently
now the South is drifting over tc
Tammany's side. This fact is scri-
ous for the Democrats, because OF
the evident intention Of the West
ern end OF the party to put up
Bryan regardless Of the consequcn-
cc.
All this means that there will b(
cyelonic times in the Democrat,
convention which meets about {:
year and quarter hence. Thai

past two years, especially in the
past three months, make this poin!

Whether the opposition to him il

There is no doubt at all, however
that split in the Democracy is dc

to that party whatever candidate
it nominates next year. The di

Mrs. siayan Conc to Her Iess.

Mrs. Maria L. Hagan died Tuesday
afternoon at 4:1o o'clock, after an illness
Of three weeks and four DAYS. She suf-
fered from liver trouble which developed
into pneumonia, resulting in death.
Mrs. Hagan was born in Ohio and was
63 years of age at death. Her husband
died in 1873, since which she had lived
with her childrena at their different homes,
and at Wymore, Ncb., being free to come
and go as she liked. A daughter and
son live in St. Joe, Mo-, one daughter in
Seattle, and the eldest son, Elmer Hagan,
a resident of Dickinson, where Mrs. Ha-
gan had spent the greater part of her
time for the pasttwo years. Mrs. Hagan
made her first visit to Dickinson in 1884,
selecting a homestead some four miles
south of town.
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock SER
vices were conducted from the Congrc-
g%ational church by Rev. U. G. Rich.
The Eastern Star, Golden Rule No. II,
took charge of the service at the close of
the sermon.
The remains left Wednesday evening,
accompanied by Elmer Hagan, for St. Joe,
where interment will probably place
today.
Mrs. Hagan was a most estimable lady,
much respected by all who knew her, and
her death comes especially hard t 0 her
son Elmer.

DICKINSON is the best town of
its size in the state. A big lum-
Der yard, grain elevator, a fine
brick blacksmith shop, a new
state bank, a cigar mandatory,
and the installing of the finest
pressed brick plant in the North
west are among the new indus
tries and improvements which
have come to Dickinson during
the year of 1899. Further than
this the citizens of the place have
during the past week, subscribed
nearly $4,000 for an electric light
plant to be owned and controlled
by home people. 1t will take a
little time to incorporate and get
bids for putting in a plant but it
is surely coming during the next
six months. Every body is pros
porous around Dickinson and
with the vast stretch of rich farm
ing and grazing country tributary,
the place is destined to become
one of the most important bust
ness centers in North Dakota.

Output of the kiondike.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the klondike
fields the past season. Since the Eng
fish government imposed a royalty, the
miners have adopted all sorts of ruses to
evade the law. 1t is rather difficult to
dodge taxes, but it is more difficult to
dodge a bad cold and the grip at this
time of the year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the blood
becomes thin and impoverished, the best
medicine to take is Hostctter's Stomach
Bitters. This remedy builds up the sys-
tenn. Besides regulating digestion, it
overcomes constipation. 1t is good for
the kidneys and liver, too, stimulating
these organs into the proper performance
of their functions. Nothing is so good
for malaria.

Literary Note.

The December number Of the De-
lineator is called the Yuletide number,
and with its beautiful new cover and in
Vulnerable illustrations is certainly n
of the most artistic magazines ever sent
out. Aside from being the leading fash
ion magazine it contains much choice
literary matter from the pens of we'll
known authors. The household and So
cial discussions are ably dealt with and
are of real worth. The delightfully."- hum
orous fantasia over the plum pudding, by
John Kendrick Bangs, is thoroughly wit
ty and enjoyable. There is an admir-
ably illustrated article on the Dewey
celebration in New York.
"The Cosmopolitan" Magazine is the
first to exploit the beauties and at
fractions that are to come at the Paris
Exposition. 1t has secured a notable
contribution for its November number
from Vance Thompson, who is now in
Paris, who has been over the ground es-
pecially for "The Cosmopolitan and
who is, undoubtedly, the most brilliant
of the younger American writer's. The
article is copiously illustrated. There
will be a second Paris Exposition article
in 1.-THE Cosmopolitan" for December.
This one is written by the Hon. Charles
A. Towne, the eloquent Minnesota Rep
resentative in Congress, and it, also, will
have many fine pictures.

Voting Device Belongs to Dickinson Man

A Custer county man in Montana has
a novel way Of w%oling with a portable
dog-cagc which is made to attach onto
the rear of a blackboard. The cage is
light, made of lattice work, and will cas-
lily carry four or five wolf-hounds. Bv
means Of a cord, the driver can drop the
door Of the cage at the rear end without
stopping his team, and let the dogs out
to give chase to the wolves. In this way
a person can easily get near the wolves,
which gives the trained dogs a big ad-
vantage, and they seldom fail to over
take their prey.
In the current number of the North
west Magazine appeared the above para
graph, which should have been credited
to a Stark county man, c. H. Merry.
The item first appeared in the Dickinson
Press last summer, chronicling the fact
that c. H. Merry, a resident of Dickin-
son, had invented a woltng dog-cage,
giving the above description of the de-
vice, and now it is being published as the
invention of a Montana man.

K BOYS Are with Bell.

Col. Bell, Of the goth U. S. Volunteers,
in which are most of the re-enlisted
North Dakota boys, is one of the ablest
and most dashing young officers in the
Philippines, and his regiment is sure to
be in the thickest of the fight whenever
anything is being done. The North Da-
kotas first made his acquaintance in San
Francisco, where he was designated to
assist in outfitting our regiment. His
kindness and efficiency won him the
friendship and confidence of every Off
Ger with whom he did business. He was
then a lieutenant in the 9TH Cavalry, but
was about that time appointed a major
and transferred to the engineer corps.
After the capture of Manila he was
brevetted aforementioned for gallan-
try and meritorious service, and for sew
eral months was in charge of the depart
ment of military information, perform
ing many difficult and often hazardous
duties in the line Of secret service work.

When it was decided to organize a regi-

Major Bell was promptly selected for
that duty and recommended to the
President for appointment as its Colonel
From the active and substantial work
which the cablegrams attribute to Bells

The Victory of tuesday,.

The results of the election indicate
very clearly the denomination of Mr..
Bryan next year and not less unmistak-
ably that of Mr.. Mckinley.
No possible rival of Bryan was brought
out, which Mclean, in running for the
G~overnorship OF Ohio, hoped to become.
Bryan carried his home State, the loss of
which by him might have introduced an
element of doubt into the situation, so
far as concerned his continued leader
ship of the Democratic party. The vic
tory of the Republicans in Kentucky
was no blow to him, for, while he enter
ed into the campaign for Goebel as a
necessity of party regularity, he was in
no way responsible for Goebel's candi-
dacy and it was not made in his interest.
At the South Bryan's strength is un-
diminished. The Democratic victory in
Maryland inures to his advantage. The
victory. of Tammany in the city of New
York, after formally aud heartily COM
hitting itself to his leadership, presages
an undivided Bryan delegation from
New York to the Democratic National
Convention next year.
Bryan remains, therefore, the unques-
tionable and unopposed leader Of the
Democratic party, with the probability
of his unanimous denomination next year
increased to a substantial certainty.
Moreover, the election having demon
strated that the issue of "anti-imperial-
ism" is without force with the people of
either party, the chances of its entering
significantly into the Presidential cam
paign next year are reduced greatly.
Meantime, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the military campaign for the
paci6cation of the Philippines will be
carried to a successful conclusion, and
the next Congress will provide for the
islands a just and orderly civil govern
ment, which will have brought to them
the advantages of the quietude of peace
long before the election of mex year oc.
ours. This will leave the Democratic
party with no other notable issues to stir
its passions than those represented by
Bryan.
The great victory Of Tuesday was Of
the policy of expansion of the admins
t%ration; the great defeat was of the hum
bug and reactionary spirit of "anti-im-
perialism."-New York Sun.
