NO DOUBT ABOUT THE 500.

The Minneapolis Times says: No
doubt now exists as to the intention
Of the 500 road respecting the proposed
Bismarck extension in North Dakota.
The Times was told yesterday by one
of the most prominent politicians of
that state that he had been reliably
informed that Sir William Van Horne
had given as his opinion that the ex-
tension would be u wise move. The
judgment Of the g. P. R. president has
been supplemented by the announced
belief Of Thomas Lowry to the same
effect.
Ex-senator w. D. Washburn is said
to have exerted his influence to have
the 500 make the extension from Brad
dock to Washburn, which is q number
Of miles above Bismarck. In that
event the capital of North Dakota
would not be included in the enterprise.
But the advice of the ex-senator was
Oyerruled.
500 officials r authority for the
statement that rails sufficient for a
sixty-mile extension have been or
dered, and that they will be shipped
to Bradd0ck. The distance from
Braddock to Bismarck slightly exceeds
thirty miles. Evidently 1t is the in
tenti0n Of the 500 to make a greater
extension than is generally supposed.
The Bismarck authorities have been
assured that the 500 will have entered
that town before the end of the sum-
mer.

The supreme court yesterday granted
a writ of habeas corpus for an agent of

DROPPED DEAD.
Boatman Engaged in Trasferring Pas
sengers Drops Dead from Over
Exertion.
From Saturdays Daily.l

There was a tragic end yesterday
afternoon to the efforts of one of the
boatmen who We're engaged in rowing
passengers across the lowlands on the
west side Of the bridge. An old boat
man named Moe from Mandan dropped
dead in the bottom of his boat, while
returning to Mandan on his fifth trip
across the two miles Of water. He
had come to this side and taken in
three passengers, starting across with
them in a small skiff: When about
half way across the water, the oars
dropped from his fingers and he sank
to the bottom of the boat, dying almost
instantly. Death resulted probably
from heart disease caused by over-ex-
ertion. The passengers in the boat
hailed another boat and were lowed
across the remaining stretch Of water.

WOUNDED.
Company |, W%ahpeton-
Private, Herbert L. Files, severe.

The news from Manila, bearing the
names of the North Dakota patriots
who have given up their lives for their
country, is filled with sadness and
mourning for the state of North Dako-
ia. The extreme good fortune Of the
First North Dakota, which has so long
preserved the members of the regiment
from death at the hands Of the enemy,
deserted the boys at last, and a squad
Of eight Of them fell into ambush, only
n man of the eight escaping unhurt.
The names above are those Of the
patriots who fell. Four of the killed
wer from the same company, G, at
Grafton. The other two were from

Major Alfred II. Whitaker, formerly

West Superior. He died of dysentery
at Manila. The deceased soldier was
q resident Of Bismarck up to eight or
nine years ago. One of several
brothers, Oliver H., and Ferd., he was
an employee Of the Northern Pacific
railroad company when a resident of
the city. When the volunteers were
called for from this state and when
Company A Of this city responded, the
deceased wrote to Captain Moffet from
West Superior asking that a place be
kept for him in the company of which
he had been a member when a resident
Of this city, and he Joined the COM
pany at Fargo, being afterwards pro
NOTED to the position of sergeant major
of the first battalion.

HOW ABOUT SUMMER RESORT

Now that the summer IS about over Prescott papers are agitating the matter of a summer resort for valley people. The idea IS a good one. however, and it is safe to pre- dict that there will be more summers possibly several of them-and the Mountain city people will have plenty of time in which to agitate. ' -Phenix Republican. In time of peace prepare for war If Prescott is to furnish accommodations in the mountains for that regiment of visitors which has been promiset us
 from the Salt river valley next sea son. it is time to set about it now and net wait until another season IS upon us. The JOURNAL MINER has found the ideal spot at Spruce mountain. for a summer resort. While good locations are plentiful in this section, Spruce mountain seems to be superior to all others in the aggregate of its qualifications. Will anything be done between now
 and next June towards establishing a summer resort there or elsewhere!

THE .'cONSOLER |"
A New "Graftsr' Who Draws salary for PrOHsrinE sympathy to
 LosSFs at Gambling.

The latest position of an easy nature, and within the reach of the rough-rid- lng brigade, is known as a "conSoler." !" The consoler's duties consist in admin istering balm to those whom the "dger" kicks in vicious md kner and send them home in a state of mind bordering on calm complscency instead of acute re- morse. The consolers are paid a fat salary by a number of the swell up- town gambling houses. They have all the appearance of broker or a wealthy clubmRn. When the player who can't afford to lose-and. by the way, there are many of them-is about to emerge from the .'tiger's" lair considerably minus, is the consoler's time. Advan- cing in an amiable way, he pats the vic tim's shoulder and then the jolly is given. It goes something like this:
 Never mind, old man; you lost only $500. Look at me! Last night dropped Sl,000, yet tonight am as cool as ever. A mere bagatelle, don't you know. It won't hurt a man of your standing"
 Of course, it's a mere bagatelle with the consoler. He didn't lose, but be in vsriabiy manages to send the victim away in such a frame of mind that he is willing to borrow, beg or steal to give the tiger" a round the next night The consoler has only one rival in good mAnners-the foorwalker in a dry goods store-but among his talent his job is what is termed an easy graft"

COULDN'T RESIST HIS HABIT.
COnEreEaman Cannon LOst the FIOsE Because He Shook Hts
 Finger.

Congressman enjoy joke as well as any class of men do, and the tempta- ton to play them on fellow members is too often too great to be resisted. ''0ne ot the funniest things l ever saw in the house" said Gov. McNiiilan, of Ten nessee, was verbal set-to between Cox and Cannon. Cannon gesticulates almost solely with his left index finger, and the way he'll point it at an oP- pOuent in debate 10 emphasize point is a caution. One day Cox said so>ne- thing Cannon didn't like, and Cannon said: MT. Speaker, want to interrupt the gentleman I'll let you have the floor on one condition--that you stop shaking your forefnger at me. I'm afraid it might go oT!' All right said Cannon. and with that he stuck his left hand in his trousers pocket and began to speak. Just as Cannon got warmed up he got excited at the sound of his own voice, and ou7 came his left fore
 finger. and instantly he was pointing it with deadly emphasis at Cox. MT. Speaker said the latter, breaking into Cannon's speech, the gentleman has broken his contract, and refuse to yield him the floor any longer and Cox went on in his best vein and gave Cannon a pretty lively haying. The house burst into roars, and it was a good joke for a month"

IGNORES THE QUESTION.

A three line item in the JOURNAL MINER dissenting from an opinion or an assertion of its contemporary on any subject elicits from a half column to two and a half columns of personal discussion of this paper. We never discuss our contemporary but deal only with its opinions.
 In the JOURNAL MINER of Friday an editorial appeared on the ques- lion Of our national prosperity in winch incidental reference was made to au assertion of its contemporary. In reply thereto the same old "tax- less" "Journsl-Murphy" harangue appears in this mornings issue, the subject discussed by this paper being barely touched. Where it was ac- cidentally touched the most remark able assertion is made that "big ex- ports do not denote the prosperity Oi the people. IT the volume or business done and the relative nun Der of wage earners employed or un- employed do not denote the general condition of a country, then there IS no index to 1t. But of course to the unprejudiced, thinking and intelli- gent mind, the above does fur uish the key to either prosperity or depression of the people of a coun- try. A large volume of business cannot be experienced without good times and 6 large number of people being employed. When our indus trial institutions are closed and men out of employment hard times are experienced.
