If the people of Dickinson will
stir themselves a little and incor-
porate the town, a resident, with
plenty of capital, stands ready to
put in a frst-class electric light
plant and other needed improve
ments. The PRESS believes that
the people of this town are letting
slip opportunities for materially
.bene6tting the place without i'm
posing any burden upon the tax
payers, and in so doing our bust
ness men are the greatest lossers.
Another thing that our people are
seemingly not alive to, is the in
vestment of local capital in new
and profitable industries, such as
an ELEVATOR, Touring mill, and
other projects. Outside people
see these opportunities and are
coming here and making invest
ments that should be made with
local capital. Foreign capital
has a perfect right to seek invest
ment in new industries at Dickin-
son and it will if local. capital, of
which there is an abundance, does
not forestall these movements.

The Mandan Pioneer roasted
Col. w. H. Robinson after the
senatorial election, charging
treachery; but since the colonel
commenced a libel suit for $751;
600 damages against the Pioneer
editors that paper has taken the
pains to investigate things a little
and comes to the conclusion that
it did the colonel an injustice.
The Pioneer finds that Colonel
Robinson's appointment as post
trader at Standing Rock was
made by President Mckinley and
Senator Mark Hanna over the
head of Senator Hansbrough and
was agreed upon long before the
North Dakota senatorial election,
but unfortunately was not an
nounced until about this time.
The PRESS is glad that the Pho
neer has discovered that Col.
Robinson is all right-the prince
of good fellows.

J. S. Green is Out.

After being held in suspense for weeks,
]. S. Green of Mandan sees the hand
writing of the senate and rather than
take his fate in the usual way writes a
withdrawal. Green was beaten at the
polls for the office of senator by over 50
votes and was probably the e of de-
feating a large part Of the republican
ticket in Morton county: and yet he evil
IDENTIFY hoped to override the will of the
people and get seated. Morton county
is naturally republican and the election
of McDougal, democrat, owe Green, re-
publican, was not due to the farmers
great popularity or fitness, but because
the people desired to administer a rebuke
to the %latter's high-handed way of mani
pulating the %county's politics.
The following is Green's letter of with
drawal:
MANDAN, N. D., Feb. ~, 1899.
H. F. Arnold, Esq, Chairman Senate
Election Committee:
Dear Sir:-I wish to withdraw my con-
test for the seat in the senate now, held
by J. A. McDougal. l believe in justice
and fairness I am entitled to the seat, but
as the session is almost over, l cannot
see where the interests of my constituents
would be served by the contest being ia
ken up now. Besides, have no desire
to rob Mr.. McDougal of the credit that
will come to him as a result of his ar
duous labors during the full term. 1t may
be that my withdrawal would be to the
best interests of the Republican party in
my district, and being more of a Repub.
lican than a contestant, ask your com
mittee to discontinue consideration of the
| contest.
l hereby withdraw the contest.
Yours Respectfully,
J. S. GREEN.

Danqers Of the Crip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason
able care is used, however, and Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger
will be avoided. Among the tens of thou
sands who have used h isaremedy for la
grippe we have yet to learn of a single
case having resulted in pneumonia which
shows conclusively that this remedy is a
certain preventive of that dangerous dis
ease. 1t will cure la grippe in less time

On Wednesday evening Of last week a
surprise party was given James D. Hen
benson at his ranch IL miles southeast of
this place. A party of young and enter
tanning Dickinson people having planned
the party, procured sufficient con-
veyance and arrived at the aforesaid
ranch just in time to interfere with Mr..
Henderson's slumbers. He was quickly
hustled out and informed that he was ex-
pected to act as host. This he did in a
very creditable manner Dancing was
the order of the evening. After having
spent a good portion of the night with
this most agreeable young rancher, the
party returned to Dickinson without any
serious mishaps on the way.

Explains the Attitude Of the Morton County
Representatives.

Representatives.
1t will be remembered that the Man.
dan Pioneer came out very strongly in
support of Congressman Johnson for U.
S. senator some weeks before the con-
vening of the N. D. legislature and that
Representatives Engelter and Stevenson,
of Morton county, were counted as pledg-
ed to the support of the congressman,
but during the senatorial struggle they
did not give him as much as a compli.
mentary vote. The Pioneer explains
their peculiar action like this:
"Now as to Messrs. Engelter and Ste
venson-what are the facts as to their
votes? MI. Johnson and his friends
knew that at any time the votes of these
gentlemen would do him real good, they
would be available. At no time did Mr..
Johnson have % than 81 votes. He
needed in the caucus 80. At any time
that he could get E more, making him 81.
Messrs. Stevenson and Engelter were pre-.
PoASA ~ give AllAl eIACAl VOlCS duO ClCCI
him. There were other matters that the
members had to consider from Morton
county. The members from Burleigh
county have always been willing to as.
sist Morton county in every way posi-
BILE. Two years ago they worked as
hard for al appropriation for the fair as
anybody could work. They are willing
this season, if occasion arises, to work
equally hard to hold the appropriation
where it is. 1t would not pay for the
members from this county to return evil
for good, by ignoring altogether the
wishes of the people on the east side Of
the river. In view of these facts, our
members voted for Senator Little. There
was n other matter that actuated the
conduct of Messrs. Stevenson and En-.
gelter. They desire TO see Mr.. Green
seated, if possible.

Prayer in the U. S. Senate.

Prayer in the U. S. Senate.
The blind chaplain, Milburn-U S.
Senate-prayed as follows-upon the
opening of that body Of congress:
BY the good providence, triumph has
crowned our arms by land and sea, SO
that peace has come to us from the
Gil chamber. Let thy grace be the por-
ton of our people and may their hearts
be rendered in service to thee and to all
men. We pray that thy blessing may be
with the Queen Regent of Spain and her
young son, and on her nation. May thy
heavenly grace come to ecu and up
hold that stricken people. Grant that
all good may be given to us, to our moth
erland and to all nations, and may we
walk hand in hand with our brethren
across the sea to heights Of Christian
civilization.
1t is more than an even chance that
nobody prayed for the United States

An Excellent Combination.
SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED ON MERIT.
The Importance of informing the Pub
tic Of the Value Of an Article
through the Leading News
papers,.

The few remedies which have attained
to worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions
of people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
~sicians, and presentedlin the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemists, and
of the most successful examples is
the Syrup of Figs manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host
of limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in its
effects, and therefore lives and promotes
good health, while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times if a remedy gave temporary
relief to individuals here and there, it
was thought good; but nowadays a lax
alive remedy must give satisfaction to
all. If you have never used Syrup of
Figs, give it a trial, and you will be
pleased with it, and will recommend it to
your friends or to any who suffer from
constipation, or from overlooking, or
from colds, headaches, biliousness or
other ills resulting from an inactive con.
dition Of the kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co, and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of plant,
known to be incidentally laxative and te
act most bene6cially. As the true and
original remedy, named Syrup of Figs
is manufactured by the California FIJI
Syrup Co., only, a knowledge of tina
fact will assist in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufacturedb by other parties
The Company has selected for yers pas
the leading publications Of the Unites
States through which to inform the pub
lie of the merits of its remedy, AM
among them the PRESS is included, a
will be seen by reference to its adver

Blue and GRAY.

0WOV SssO VuOy
Give back the flags wipe out all trace
OF fratricidal strife;
Forget, forgive, strive to erase
From mem'ries a of life,
The time, when Blue and Gray were ranged,
AZ foes In mortal strife.
We know no North, no East, no West,
No South a line divides;
But common country we love best,
And confidence abides
That Blue and Gray are one to-day,
Whatever else betides.
l believe with our president that this
nation from ocean to ocean from British
Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico is indis-
solubly cemented together and have al
ways felt that the South could be trusted
to help maintain the national govern
ment. On an occasion of the meeting of
confederate soldiers at Selma, Alabama,
l received an invitation to be present
but could not. Just at that time a heat
ed dispute, as to whether we ought t. give
back "rebel" flags or not, was in prog
ress all through the South and North
and l felt very keenly that there was
only n reasonable course to pursue and
so l contributed the enclosed, which was
read at the meeting and was printed all
over the south, more or less. AS time
brings us all some compensations l am
glad to know that there is hardly a man
living now under the protection of "Old
Glory" that differs from the sentiment
embodied in these two little verses.
Respectfully Yours,

Army Bill Agreed Upon.

The administration and its representa-
tives in congress have reached an agree
ment with the minority in congress re-
specting the army reorganization bill.
The compromise is based on an army of
100000 men, of whom $4,000 will be
known as the provisional army and will
be enlisted to serve until 1901. Ar
rangements are made for a full staff
corps. 1t is believed that the agreement
reached removes nearly all danger of an

The Grand Forks Herald seems
to favor H. B. az. The Herald
says: "The bill recently intro
duced by Representative Erick-
son, and now before the house
committee on railroads, defining a
railroads liabilities to its employees
under certain circumstances, is
one which will meet with general
approval throughout the state, and
which ought to receive favorable
consideration at the hands of the
Legislature. The bill provides
that a railway employee shall have
the right to recover from the
company for any injury sustained
by him as the result of the negli-
gence of any other employee, and
that no contract signed by him
shall deprive him of that right.
The provision rendering void any
contract relinquishing this right
may, of course, be objected to by
some as an infringement on the
sacredness, of a contract volun.
tarily entered into. The fact is
however, that no contract should
be considered b ding by
which without adequate reason
the individual relinquishes any o
his natural or inherent rights
The man who enters upon a diff
cult and dangerous undertaking
whose nature is we'll understood
may properly relinquish his RICH
to compensation for injury whicl
is to be anticipated as one of tn
reasonable risks of his occupation
He is entitled, however, to protet
ton from risks which he coul
not have anticipated and whic
are ia no sense connected with tt
