Dunseith Herald: The Daily
Chautauquan was a daisy. Editors
Small and McGahan have added
materially to the success of the
Chautauqua-and still the Inter-

Park River News: P. Axling,
recently elected second vice presi-
dent of the National Association
Of the Deaf was formerly of the
Devils Lake school, and for a long

Pioneer Office. He was a good
printer and very accomplished in
other lines.
Leeds News: The Chautauqua
people are commencing already,
so quick, to make next seasons
session better and more pleasant
than any preceding one. We
suggest that the management
secure the Scandinavian Sextette
Of Leeds, as a part of the musical
programme for next year. Some
Of the members of the sextette are
not excelled by any one they have
had on the Chautauqua grounds
yet, and all are good, and their
musical Norwegian songs would
please every body, we are sure.
Harry Throckmorton, a barber
who lives in Grand Forks, Mon
day received the distressing news
that his arm was out of joint. He
had sustained a fall and thought
that he had only bruised his
shoulder and has carried his arm
in a sling thinking that it would
soon heal. Tuesday in converse
ton with a physician he learned
that his shoulder was out after
carrying his arm in a sling for
twenty-four hours and had no in
tention of seeing a physician.
F. W. Schlaberg of Grand
Forks, who was in Devils Lake
last week, informs the Plaindealer
that everything is progressing
nicely at the Lake. There was a
bad hail storm on last Saturday
evening which passed about five
miles north of Crazy and was very
destructive. It knocked out a
great many hundreds of acres and
left nothing. One man by the
name of Sparks, who has been
hailed out for the last three or
four years again lost all his crop,
amounting to three or four hun
dred acres. He had, however,
gotten into the way of insuring it.
The hail seemed to strike in the
Sdllle place every year. Inc gram
that escaped the storm was looking
good.
st. Thomas Times: It is evil
dent that a change of feeling
towards President Hill Of the
Great Northern, is taking place
among the farmers Of North d.
kota. MI. Hill has appeared be-
fore farmer audiences Of this state
lately, and has convinced them by
his earnest common sense and
practical utterances that he is a
man of the common people, and
has at heart the interests of the
Northwest-as hesays himself-for
selfish motives. Mr.. Hills adj
dress at the farmers institute at
Devils Lake was listened to by
several hundred farmers, all of
whom felt that in Mr.. Hill they
had an advocate for a large market
for cereal products, who would
leave no stone unturned to increase
the price of wheat by diverting
the surplus wheat of the Pacific

coast to the Orient, A careful
study Of Mr.. Hills theory-that
we do not want cheaper methods
of production in order to make
wheat raising profitable, but other
markets save those of Liverpool
will prove that Mr.. Hill has solved
the problem, and if the govern
ment will substitute steamship
lines on the Pacific coast the good
times of 81 wheat will be realized
in the near future.

The supreme court has decided
that express companies are not

Several owners of horses in the
county report the existence among
their stock of a disease in which
one of the symptoms is the swell

The leadership matters down at
Standing Rock are not as rosy as
they might be says, the Mandan
Pioneer. Col. Robinson has been
unable to make satisfactory ar
rangements for the purchase of
the buildings, stock and book &C.
counts of Douglas & Mead, and as
a result of this, Col. Robinson is
beginning the construction of a
new store building of his own.
This will be up in a short time,
and he will begin doing business.
In the meantime it will be
demonstrated if Douglas & Mead
can continue to do business with
out a license.
The Ft. Stevenson reservation
which contains over $4,000 acres
of land will be sold by the govern
ment at public out cry to the high
est bidder at no figure less than
$l.25 an acre. The reservation
says the Washburn Leader, is a
natural beauty spot not surpassed
by any locality in ethis state. It
is located on both sides of the
Missouri, and contains an abund-
ance Of wood, coal, agricultural
and hay lands. It is watered by
three or four fine streams, aside
from the Missouri, the largest
being Douglas river. The rights
of the 'squatter'' or "sooner" will
not be recognized by the govern
ment in the opening Of this
reservation.
The city council in enacting the
bicycle ordinance which was
adopted on Monday night appears
to have stirred up a hornets nest,
or something equally lively. The
ordinance, which received the sig

becomes a law upon it's publication,
prohibits the riding of bicycles on
the sidewalks of any paved street,
limits the speed of bicycles on
other sidewalks to five miles per
hour and elsewhere within the
city limits to eight miles per hour,
and imposes a license fee on ali
resident owners of bicycles. This

Enquirer joins in the echo. Yet,
both Of these yellow sheets know
that the president has no auth GRITTY
to announce a permanen policy
which this country shall assume
toward any of the territory acquir:-
ed from Spain. This prerogative
lies solely with congress, and these
papers we'll know it, but they
count on deceiving people who
may not know. They y. would create
the Impression, and they intimate,
that the president lacks backbone,
and that he is afraid to declare a

Col. Robert Ingersoll was one OF
the most highly indiv idualized OF
the famous men of America. He
was a patriot, a useful public
worker and a true American. His
human sympathies were strong
and always active. The brilliancy
of his gifts as an orator were
phenomenal. But, though he de-
voted many years of his life to
religious discussion, he will not
rank high as a theologian. His
lectures on the subject we're prose
poems rather than convincing
arguments. In balancing the
cadences of a sentence and cloth
ing it in language that thrilled,
Col. Ingersoll has had few equals
among the masters of English.
His verbal felicity was wonderful,
and his presence and delivery were
in keeping. His humor was ex-
haustless and he was most skillful
in giving it expression. Yet
there r just as many churches
and church members as if Inger-
soil had not questioned history
and rejected faith. While per-
haps the most glowing and fascina-
ting Of skeptics, he resembled the
others in a failure to shake
the foundations of Christianity.
He was beyond doubt a man of
genius, and there was much in
his life and character that will be
remembered with lasting admira-
ton.

The York Ledger truthfully re-
marks: The Devils Lake Chau-
tauqua closed last Sunday. The
number of visitors this season has
been far in advance of any former
year which is evidence Of it's popu-
larity as a summer resort. The
management are deserving of great
credit for their arduous labor in
procuring SO many leading attrac-
tions for the entertainment of it's
visitors, and have built up a rep
utation for the Devils Lake
Chautauqua that will enhance it's
popularity for the next assembly.
Mr.. Elihn Root, the new Secre-
tary of War, is. a distinguished
lawyer, a man of general ability,
and in the prime of a vigorous
capacity for work. Secretary
Roots task will be chiefly one of
paciication and development. It
is believed that he has the quail
ties and the training to be of
signal service to the country.
The trust issue comes as a sort
of godsend to the cowed tariff re-
formers. They can now talk about
doing away with protection as the
first step towards getting rid of
the trusts. Everything is grist
which comes to the Democratic
mill, but no man knows from day
to day what is the next issue to be
fed in.
Poor Boston is again sorely
afflicted. In addition to the gypsy
moths, the sparrows, the teredos,
the big augur worms, the kissing
bugs and the anti-expansion pests,
the canker worms have now made
their appearance in countless thou
sands. On Boston Common,
people walking under trees are OBJ
liged to carry umbrellas.
Why should we begrudge the
Democrats the pleasure and profit
they anticipate from digging up
the tariff issue? For the last
three years they have grown thin
and worn sitting up nights with
the corpse of free silver, and they
now only seek a much-needed re-
creation.

GranEeviIIe Tragedy.

Grangeville, July 3.-The entire town
was thrown into a Juror of excitement
yesterday, as result of a shooting scrape
between A. D. Green and j. f. Ailshie,
two well-known citizens of Camas prairie.
Each had a revolver and the chambers of
both weapons were empty when the shoot
ing ceased. Green was hit five times. Ali
SHE passed through the affair without a
scratch. How both men escaped instant
death is remarkable. One shot penetrated
Green's side, breaking rib, another passed
through his right thigh and another
through his right shoulder. The other two
are flesh wounds. While suffering in
tensely, and while either of three OF his
wounds could prove fatal, he has strong
chances of recovery.
