A School Excursion.

1t was about noon on Nov. .,
a lovely autumnal day, when the
Archer school of Greenwich
township arrived at beautiful
grove Of native trees near the
Gallatin post office. They were
accompanied by their teacher
and were bent on studying the
book of nature. The woods were
vocal with the parting notes Of
a flock Of black birds about to
start southwark. The notes of
the blue-jay calling out his name
were waited to the ear and his
azure vesture could be seen as he
fitted from tree to tree. The
sights and sounds were all so
strange and unusual to children
brought up on the bare prairie
that they We're 10th to cease

lunches and the hot coffee boiled

American people.

Nothing gives the republican
party so much pleasure as the
showing under of Senator Petit
grew, of South Dakota; Congress-
man Lentz, Of Ohio, and q few
more of these rabid Aguinaldo
sympathizers. The people have
set their stamp of disapproval on
these kickers against the govern
ment in no uncertain manner as
is proved by the heavy landslide
given the republican party
Tuesday of last week. The
American people have never yet
voted down q war president
where the war was not brought
on by him and they never will.
Congress will be solidly republi-
Can for the next two years and
the halls of that body will be free
from the walls and kicks Of a few

occasioned a drive of more than

Notwithstanding the drawback
given North Dakota by u partial
failure of crop, we look for
another large immigration move
ment in this state, next spring.
There is no country on the earth
that offers such good induce
ments than North Dakota. TO
be sure the new settlers who
came here year ago have not
met with any degree of success.
yet at the same time the loss of
crop has not been confined to this
state alone. 1t has extended over
the northwest to a certain extent.
Farming can be carried on much
more cheaply here than it can in
eastern states which is certainly
great mducement to those en-
gagged in this kind of work. Farm
lands have not decreased any on

President McKinley's endorse

President McKinley's endorse
ment by the American people
last week must be very gratify-
ing to him. as he received great
deal bigger majority than he got
in 1896. The American people
are patriotic as we'll as sensible
and history fails to record any
time when the people have voted
down a president who has had
a successful. war on his hands.
The people also realized that the
country is prosperous and voted
to sustain prosperity. Aguin-
aldo and his sympathizers can
now take to the woods they have
no place in the hearts Of the
American people.

Lopez:

Lopez acknowledges that the

demand for independence origin

insurgent leaders who have

"And the consequence to be
drawn from all that is equally in
