Did Not Have Permit.

DR.. ]. E. Bcrns, manager Of a surgical
institute in Fargo, has threatened to
commence a suit in the district court
against the Northern Pacific railroad
company for injuries received to his per-
son and indignities to his personality.
The doctor states that he boarded a
freight train in Mandan last Friday night
for the purpose of going to Bismarck
and that after the train pulled out Of the
yards that Conductor Tom Hatton, who
was in charge of the train, asked him if
he had a permit. The doctor very truth
full answered that he had not. The
conductor then informed him that he
could not ride on that train. Borns said
that if he could not ride he would get off
provided the conductor would run the
train back to the depot. This Hatton re-
fused to do and the doctor declined to
alight. The conductor then elected the
doctor and his baggage. The night was
dark, the train moving and the tempera-
ture down to about IS degrees below
zero. While in the act OF being removed
from the train the doctor fell and had his
hip and back hurt.
The foregoing is one side of the story.
The other is that on the evening in ques-
ton tie doctor did get on the train
mentioned and when Conductor Hatton
came into the caboose he asked the Sew
eral persons who were in that car if they
were all stock shippers. All said yes
except the doctor who said he was not.
Hatton then asked him if he had a per-
NIT. The doctor replied that he had not.
The conductor assured him that he
could not ride on that train if he did not
have a permit as the company was very
strict about that rule and that he, the
conductor, could not make an exception
in his case. The doctor very curtly in
formed the conductor that he knew his
business and began signing up his mile
age book unmindful of the conductors
request Finding the doctor obdurate
the conductor picked up the doctors
valises and set them off the train and
, then approaching the doctor he took him
by the arm and led him out the door.
In the meantime the train had begun
to move slowly, but had not reached
sufficient speed to cause any trouble in
allghting. The spot where the doctor
stepped off was near the west end of the
platform, in full view of the electric
light and less than a block to the depot.
The facts Conductor Hatton has witness
SEES to s~ubstantiate.

what an Old North Dakota Boy Has Do,

What an Old North Dakota Boy Has Done.
There are none of the new states that
have made a better record in recruiting
the ranks Of American authors than
North Dakota. Among the contributors
to a large number of periodicals of the
east are old North Dakota newspaper
boys, who first tried their journalistic
wings in North Dakota. Prominent
among them is Joe Mitchell Chapple, the
author of two popular novels, and now
the successful editor of "The National
Magazine" at Boston, a periodical which
has taken foremost rank under his man.
agement. 1t does not seem so many
years ago that "Joe" as we all called him,
was editor Of "The Grand Rapids
Journal" in La Moure, where he set all
his type, run his hand press and did his
editorial work and cooking besides. Be-
tween stakes" he was "frying his bacon"
and a happier, SUMMER dispositioned and
more determined boy Of 16 never made a
start in life. The farmers brought him
potatoes, pumpkins, chickens and pork,
and the good, motherly farmers wives
often filled his larder with pies, cakes
and good things when they came to town
to trade on Saturday, for they we're all
proud of their boy editor. Every family
within eight miles was on his subscrip.
ton list, and every householder was a
stakeholder. Copies of the old Grand
Rapids Journal" edited by Joe Chapple
are much priced relics. This paper had
bursts of literature and pretentious in
terviews and erudite discussions that in.
Dictated the ambitions of the boy editor in
a prairie village of 100 inhabitants.
A copy of the National Magazine Can
be seer at this Office. 1t will be dubbed
with the PRESS at the low rate of sax.

In 1890 Stark county had a pop
ulation of 1904 and Morton
county, 4,728. The 1900 census
gives Stark 1851 and Morton
county 5000, showing that the
former county has made much the
greater gain. The Pioneer has
noticed this gain of over 800 per
cent in Stark's population and
calls attention to the fact that old
Dun and Hettinger counties were
added to our county under the act
of 1895. And what of this? The
1890 census gave Dun's population
at 15o and Hettinger at 81, a total
of $40; and while the population
has increased in this new territory
north and south, the great increase
has been within the old bound

ALICE CROWLEY
Wins tho Prize Offered BY msnager
Hughes Of the Telephone
ExCho0oe.

Sometime ago Manager Hughes of the
telephone exchange offered a cnsh prize
to the pupil of the Dickinson public
schools who would write a letter not ex-
ceeding 800 words in length, giving the
most convincing arguments why every
home should be provided with a tele-
phone.
The letters we're given to a committee,
consisting Of A. T. Crowl and M. L. Ayers,
to decide who was entitled to the prize.
A large number of pupils participated in
the contest and the committee had diff
Guilty in selecting the winner, as all of
the letters we're very good. Miss Alice
Crowley was given the prize and below
we print her letter in full. Special men,
ton should also be made of the letter of
Miss Mary Kennedy, of South Heart,
whose communication was exceptionally
fine.
Dickinson, N. d., Dec. 3, 1900.
Mr.. Geo. A. Hughes,
DEAR SIR: In this day when the sue
c~essful man is the one who uses his time
to the best advantage, there can be no
question as to the utility of the telephone.
Business in Dickinson is already on a
different basis, although our telephone
exchange has been in operation less than
a month.
Where do we find the first telephones
when an exchange has been established?
In the offices and homes of the leading
business men who know that time is
money; in the Office of the lawyer; in that
of the doctor; every place where up TO.
date methods are used.
In case OF fire we may have the whistle
blown and the fremen called without a
moments delay. In case of accident or
emergency a life may be saved by being
able to summon a physician at once.
The telephone enables US to make in
formal calls, to ascertain if the train is on
time, to send kilograms, to give a burglar
alarm, to correct watches, to order fuel
on stormy days, and to order extras if
company ONE unexpectedly.
In one week of blizzardy weather the
telephone is easily worth all that it costs
for a year, while the sum of n dollar a
month does not begin to pay for the sole
leather that is actually worn out in rum
ming brands. Our rates are so cheap
that no family can afford to be without a
telephone.
The telephone is almost a necessity to
the family of the trainman, whose time
for meals is very uncertain. If a mar
finds it impossible to 60 home to meals,
he may send word to his wife. When he
meets a friend down town he NAV invite
him to dinner, notifying his wife that he
has done so, and not approach the house
in fear and trembling lest he meet with
a cool reception and dine from the re-
mains of yesterday dinner.
