Town meeting passed off quietly. S. G.
Brown, jr., presided with clearness of die
ton and parliamentary efficiency it was
said. Reading of annual report consumed
an hour, and was not so inspiring in its
figures as current literature. One man at
least was heard to question its need on the
ground that every voter had an opportuni-
ty TO be familiar beforehand with printed
report. However that may be it was a
good thing to listen TO the school superin-
tendent's report which ought to have left
an impression for the necessity of firstrate
school work The superintendent fears
that we are not getting full equivalent
for our outlay of money. Not that we are
paying too much, but that we should rea-
sonably expect greater progress. Mrs
Morse presses home the responsibility of
parents and citizens generally in co0pera-
ton with teachers and school officers.
Too frequent changes of teachers, espe-
cally for the short terms, is lamented.
Another cause for lament is lack of en-
couraging attendance by parents and even
school officials when educational meetings
have been held.
"A wave of vertical writing has swept
over our land, and not to be behndhand
we have adopted it. Whether it is an i'm
provement or not time will tell; it may
not show so much individuality, but it has
the merit of being legible and one of the
best writers of the shorthand in our
schools says that she can write the vertical
hand much more rapidly, and she writes
it well. Legibility and rapidity are in its
favor" Thus witnesses the report on the
"vertical hand"

WANT THE ROAD 10 QUIZ

Proceedings are now in progress. and
papers will be filed within a short time
in the United States circuit court at
Fargo in an important case between.
the United States government and the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
The suit is in the nature of an applica-
ton for an injunction to restrain the
company from continuing the work of
elevating the depression in the track
north Of the depot at Grand Forks in
such a way as to interfere with the
navigation of the Red river, and for an
order compelling the company to
dredge out of the river channel. about
$4,000 cubic yards of earth. which is
the amount Of the elevation of the river
bed claimed to be due to the operation
of the company.

HANGING OF COLE.
The Execution of the Negro Murdere,
Not a Very Expensive Affair
for the County.

The execution of the negro murderer
James w. Cole was not a very ex-
pensive affair for the courtyard the
amount paid for the execution reason
able. The total cost of the execution,
including the building of the gallows,
pay of deputies, expenses of the sher-
if and fee of. that official for conduct
ing the execution was $685.. The
amount paid Sheriff Bogue as the fee
for his services was 5000. This is the
amount for which the sheriff presented
a bill and it was promptly allowed by
the commissioners at their meeting to-
day. There is no provision of law for
any specific amount to be paid sheriffs
for executions. In some states there
is Il fee of $500, and in others what
ever the county commissioners choose
to allow. The compensation asked
by Sheriff Bogue and allowed by the
commissioners in this instance is gen
orally considered very reasonable.

THE TwINE PLANT.

Ane 81 raul FlOneer Press saws:
Two members of the committee nm.
pointed by the North Dakota legisla-
tlre to select machinery for the ennin-
ment OF a prison Irvine plant were in
the city yesterday on their way home
from the east where they had received
a number Of proposals and had in
spected suitable machinery. r. T.
Turner of Gladstone, who was recently
appointed to the prison board. arrived
ut the Merchants early in the day and
later Warden n. r. Boucher came I'm
from Saltwater, where he had had =
conference with Warden Wolfer.
This committee is acting nnder +ho
authority vested in it by the last ses.
sion of the legislature. appronriatinp
$15O,O00 for the establishment and
maintenance Of a Irvine plant for the
employment Of prison labor. 1t is in
tended that the daily capacity shall be
io'UVO pounds. but it is possible that
the output may be doubled.
II Will be necessary to purchase a
pia OF thirty acres in the rear Of the
stare institution at Bismarck. erect a
building, probably 10Ox4O, feet, and
supply 1t with modern machinery. It
Is thought that the plant can be COM
pleted by Nov. l. and that Irvine can
be made to supply the demand in 1900.
Mr.. Turner stated yesterday that bids
had been received on all the machinery
necessary which would be submitted
10 the board of managers at their meet
ing early next month. Fifty thous.
and dollars of the amount had been
set apart for the purchase of machin.
cry. but more might be needed. The
dimensions of the building would de
pend on the amount of machinery.
One of the things that the boarG
now has in view is the establishment
OF an electric light plant in connection
with the Irvine factory. 1t was lie
lieved that appropriation was large
enough to admit of this addition. anf
with small cost an electric light plan
could be installed that would furnish
light to the entire penitentiary. Thi.
was one Of the ways in which til,
board might spend the surplus. in cas-,

take that was made in Minnesota

of interest to members of the Rough

The Northern Pacific directors will
probably declare Il second dividend of
1 per cent at the meeting in June.
There is no prospect of anything more
than this ut the present time, although
the annual report will show the COM
pany earned well over 4 per cent on its
stock for the fiscal year, assuming that
business does not go all to pieces the
next two months. A certain interest
in the company would like to see larger
dividends. The conservative elements
will prevail a while longer. State

GUARANTY COMPANY.
Commissioner Harrison Makes a State
ment with Reference to the Mime
apolis Guaranty.

Regarding the Minneapolis Guaranty
Company, whose cas- is now in the
courts, Commissioner Harrison Of the
insurance department says: Letters
of inquiry continue to pour into the in
surance department from farmers all
over the state relative to the Realty
Revenue Guaranty Co. of Minneapolis.
This company is not authorized by the
insurance department to solicit or con
duct an insurance business in this
state. From the best information OBJ
tainable l consider it to be one of the
most clever and catchy constructed
fakes to gull the farmer that was ever
perpetrated on our people. The ques-
ton as to its authority to do IN insur-
ance business is soon to be decided in
the courts of this state. While the
literature Of the company very care
fully omits reference to the word in
surance, the intent, in my Judgment,
can be nothing else. The word guar
anty appears throughout the contract,
mortgage and note, and is also applied
freely in the articles of incorporation
of the company. I would advise the
farmers of North Dakota to have moth
ing to do with it, as l consider it de-
cidedly unsafe and unreliable. A ma
jority of those identified with the COM
pany, and who We're instrumental in
its organization, were formerly con-
nected with insurance companies Of
bad repute, many of which have failed,
defrauding the people Of Minnesota out
of q great many Thousand dollars. It
is not because of any personal reasons
or any prejudices on my part that l
give public utterance of this character,
but because l consider it a duty I owe
the people of the state rs N of it's
servants to guard their interests in so
far as 1t is possible to do sc. Until
the courts render a legal opinion on
the rights of this company l advise the
public to defer its support and pat
! ronage.'

They offered themselves. a national
sacrifice, that our country might be
kept undivided and our flag main
