MI. Thompson Meets His Old friend.

A most happy meeting occurred. yes
terday at the Sheridan house lobby be-
tween ]. c. Thompson, at one time post
master of Dickinson and Hon. D. N.
Green, the able representative from
Barnes county. Forty-three years have
passed since the two gentleman last met.
Their friendship dates from 1856 when
they were both members of the memoir
able Michigan convention that gave
what is now known as the republican
party birth and name. 1t will be re-
membered that this convention was call
ed Immediately after the death of the
old wing party by Schuyler Colfax, Zach
Chandler and others for the purpose of
organizing a new party. The gentlemen
state that Chandler, Colfax, Howard and
Hyde and many other men who after
ward became prominent in the history of
the country, were members Of the con-
vention. The call for the convention ex-
tended an invitation to every state to
send representatives and nearly all the
then organized states responded. Zach
Chandler was made chairman of the con-
vention and Mr.. Fairchild, then presi-
dent of the Hillsdale college was chosen
secretary. Chandler made the motion to
name the new party 'the republican
party'-hence the name. The cardinal
features of the platform we're for a revenue
tariff law and a clause against the extern
sion of slavery in territories.-Bismarck

ONE of the problems which
confronts the Dickinson school
board is how to provide school
room for the coming school year.
All of the available room in the
high school building and the
south side building is in use
crowded in every department
and another year there will be an
increased enrolment of from 90
to 80, and where are the new
corners to be putt Some have
suggested that a 2-story wing be
built onto the west side of the
high school building and that the
lower floor be finished and fur
nished for the coming year and
the upper floor to be finished
later. Others have suggested
that a building be rented tempo
rarily. To us it would seem the
part of economy to make the
permanent improvements on the
start,

DURING a German wedding on
Monday considerable hilarity was
expressed in one way and an
other in going TO and from the
Catholic church and one of the
ways, contrary to law and the
best interests of civilization, was
the shooting at random of revolt
vers. One of the bullets passed
through the front door of ]. P.
Tingle's house. Mrs. Jingle was
sitting within and children were
playing in the street just without,
any of whom might have been
killed by the shot had the aim
been a little different. AT the
time the sheriff was not in town
and no arrests were made. Such
things must be stopped. After
an example or two have been
made of these offenders they will
learn to be careful of their acts.

Esrty Divorce at Maodan.

-~t
In the Forum of January IA OCTOPUS"
said:
Over at Mandan they tell that a
wealthy foreigner came there for divorce.
He heard that the Catholic church was
in debt-formed the acquaintance of
Father Collins and cleared off the debt
of over $1,000. He also gave the other
churches a few hundred each-got his
divorce and departed-with the best
wishes Of the parish and the people.
And yet it is said nothing good comes
out of Nazareth.
My friend Bishop Stanley seems a
little mixed on legislation-as we'll as d.
vorce. He wants Jud's divorce bill Ere
called from the judiciary committee not
yet appointed"-and passed-whether or
no. The bill never went to committee
but Jud had it brought right up in the
senate and passed-"quickern seattle
first bill to pass-it was engrossed and
goes to the house, which will get it today
or tomorrow-and there you are. l
think it's generally admitted that the
bishops pronounced views had largely
to do with the haste-but us good Metho-
dists ought to-have a little credit midst
the general rejoicing.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
of the century has been the raising of
some of the Spanish warships which were
apparently shot to pieces at Santiago. 1t

because of the terrible damllage inflicted
by our guns, but the task has been ac-
complished. Disease of the blood, stom-

In the Morton county contest
cases tried in Mandan last week
before Judge Luader, it appears
that Miller received a clear ma
jority of seven or eight votes over
Schallern by the recount of votes,
and will undoubtedly be allowed
to take the office of auditor on
the first of March. The recount
showed no material change of
votes for treasurer and Wickham
has dropped his contest against
Schultz. In the Lorin-Seitz con-
test there was no material change
and unless Lorin gets the latter
out on a technicality he (Lorin)
will not preside over the affairs

both democrats and republicans,
