BENNEIT-nORNBtRGER
A Popular Jamestown Couple Will
Walk life's Pathway
as One.

The marriage of Miss Margaret
Hornberger to Arthur Bennett oc-
Cured late Monday afternoon at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Pier
son, the latter being a sister of the
bride. Only few immediate friends
of the contracting parties were pres
ent. Rev. G. H. Phillips of the Con-
gregational church performed the
ceremony. The wedding came as a
surprise to numerous friends as it had
been kept profound secret. A num-
Der Of handsome presents were re-
ceived.
The bride has been a popular resi-
dent of jamestown for number Of
years. She closed a successful term of
school in Wells county a week since.
Mr.. Bennett served with Company H,
in the Philippines and made a good
record for himself. Since returning
he has been engaged in work as con-
tractor and builder and has built a
large number of structures during the
past year. He is an industrious young
man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett left Monday
evening for Valley City. From there
they left, over the 500 for the coast
where they will locate. A large cir
Gle of friends in Jamestown wish them
a happy welded life.

Hundreds MAY Starye.

The Sioux Indians have accepted
the recommendations of Commissioner
Jones that their rationS be immedi-
ately stopped with more philosophy
than might be expected under the
circumstances. That hundreds OF
them will starve slowly to death is a
foregone conclusion. Their condition
as it is is pitiable in the extreme:
their crops were total failure and
their rations are just enough to keep
them alive. This reservation is total
ly unfit for anything but grazing, and
the Indians can never support them
selves by farming. AS for labor, there
is absolutely nothing for them to do.
White men can get all the white la
Dor they want, aud on the reservation,
outside OF government freighting,
there is nothing to do.

BORNS HAD NO PERMIT
Conductor nattOn Put Borns off.
Following Rules and the Latter
is Sore.

DR.. J. E. Borns, manager of a surgi-
Cal institute in Fargo, has grievance
and proposes to air the same in court.
The doctor alleges that he boarded a
special stock tram at Mandan last
Friday night to go to Bismarck. He
took the train because the regular
train for passengers was late and did
SO on the advice of some one else al
though that is not very material. DR..
BornS says that after the train had
pulled out of Mandan Conductor Tom
Hatton of this city asked his paSsen-
ger if he had a permit to ride on that
train. DR.. BornS said he had not and
was informed that he could not ride
on that train--that he would have to
wend his way back to Mandan. Borns
wanted him to run the train back in
to Mandan but, following strictly the
rules Of the company, Mr.. Hatton re
fused to do SO and elected the doctor,
who relates that it was very dark on

One Man Power.

Washington, Nov. 24.-For the first
time in the history of the United
States legislation is being enacted with
a new phrase at the beginning of each
law. as follows:
by the authority Of the President
of the United States, be it enacted by
the Philippine Commission"
Newspapers from Manila contain
many of these laws enacted by the
authority Of the President of the
United States" One of them is quite
interesting. 1t shows an appropria-
tion Of nearly $500, 900 for running the
various departments Of the Philippine
government for the month of October.
\ large proportion of these apprC-
priations are for salaries but pur-
chases of clothing for native police,
purchases of supplies for local govern
ment use, travelling expenses of Off
cials, employment of Chinese coolies,
and rents Of Offices are included.

and he was somewhat chilled. He
also says that in getting from the
train he hurt his hip.
Railroad men agree that Borns had
no right to expect that Conductor
HattOn would run his train back into
the Mandan yards and think it rather
peculiar that Borns knew nothing of
the permit rule-after travelling as
much as he has over North Dakota.
Borns has received frequent write
up in the newspapers of the state and
is now defendant in suit brought by
Dr. Charest of Fargo who alleges
criminal libel. The alleged articles
were published in the Fargo Forum
over the signature of DR.. Borns.

President MeIlen Talks.

Minneapolis Tribune: President c..
S. .Mellen of the Northern Pacific gave
his explanation of the rise in Northern
Pacific securities and incidentally
again denied the rumor that Mr.. Hill
had secured control of the property.
''The report sent out from New Y York. -
said Mr.. Mellen, 'has caused loss
to the Northern Pacific of half a mil
lion dollars. This is not the only way in
which the company has suffered from
the canards. Many of our best men
have become frightened by the per-
sistent report that President Hill of
the Great Northern has secured con-
troll of the stock of the Northern Pa
cific and threaten to stampede. L
thoroughly believe that should these
men, most of whom have been with us
for years, receive good offers from
other companies they would at once
leave the Northern Pacific. -
When questioned as to how the loss
to the company had beenincnrred, Mr..
Mellen stated that the largest Gus
toners of the Northern Pacific were
holding back business and had done SO
for some time, as they wished to get
more definite information in regard to
the reported consolidation.
at was an assinine yarn, said MIR.
Mellen, "and it will take sixty days of
constant denials on the part of the
company to make the general public

ARE NOT TO BE MERGED
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Are Not to be MerQed-niIl's
interests.

A New York special to one of the
St. Paul papers announces that the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
systems are not to be merged. The
same article admits that Mr.. Hill is
the largest stockholder OF the North
ern Pacific, and that with perhaps five
other men he could control both roads.
Attention is then called to the fact
that the existing statutes Of the
northwestern states expressly prohib-
it the consolidation or the joint opera
tion Of two parallel or competing
lines.
But, Notwithstanding the statutory
limitations, the two roads will not be
allowed to s'cut each others throats, y
nor jeopardize their respective reve-
nueS by rate wars.

How the Vote of November 9th
Is being Regarded by
Trust Officers.
c. R. Flint, Organizer of many
Trusts, says They are
Here to Stay.
Claims that Combinations are
Good for Business and
r.
for Country.

New York, Nov. 24.-Chas. R. Flint,
organizer of many trusts and officer in
a score of corporations, told the Out
look Club at Montclair, N. j., yester-
day that the American people at the
last election had indorsed the trust as
completely as they had killed free
silver.
''The trust has come to stay" he
said. "The new method is the scien-
tiic, the civilized one. 1t is built on
the knowledge of the dependence of
men. 1t explodes the fallacy of inde-
pendence.' The new business idea
call it the trust, f:you will-recog-
nizes this principle and developes it to
it's highest form.
'As constitutional, scientific govern
ment has come to supplant the feudal
system, so the consolidation era in
business has come to supplant the old
system.
"And this new consolidation era
has come to stay. Let no young man
think otherwise. That fact was set
tied in our recent presidential election.
The Justice and wisdom in connection
with business of the trust was as dis
tiuct an issue as the single standard,
and it was as emphatically ratified by
the people. They refused to be misled
on this question as clearly as they re-
fused to be misled on free silver.
''The trust is here for good, and un-
der the new system that it brings in
business, increased intelligence and
mental acumen are demanded Of the
business man."

N
Major Lyons Right to Office OF
Superintendent May be
Questioned.
Claimed He is a Resident of James
u town and City is Special
District.
Supreme Court may be Called on to
Decide Constitutionality
of Act.

Attorney Thorp has raised the ques-
tion of whether an electOr OF the City
of jamestown is eligible for holding
the Office of county superintendent OF
schools. Section II of the political
code says that no person is eligible to
office who is not an elector. Sectlon
,,S3s says that 'any voter residing in an
Independent school district, organized
under special act, having board OF
education sand city superintendent of
schools, shall not be qualified for
county superintendent OF schools
The Jamestown school district was Or
gaDized under a special act of the leg
islature in 1888, and amended in 1885,
but not to affect the question: If the
point raised is valid in law it might
affect the election of County Superin-
tendent Lyon, as it is stated that he
is resident of the city. The situa-
tion seems to be that either the pres
ent city school superintendent's office,
and proceedings transacted Hereunder
are questionable as to legality, or no
resident of jamestown is eligible to
the Office of county superintendent. 1t
is possible that there may be a contest
and the notice of same must be filed
within twenty days after canvass OF
votes.
County Superintendent Lyon says
there is nothing in the point raised
above, as the matter has been fully
jcanvassed and considered by the state
superintendent and the attorney gen.
eral and by others. Two years ago he
referred the matter to. State Supt.
Halland for consideration and the at
torney general held that the law only
affected three towns in the state, viz,
Fargo, Grafton and Wahpeton and
Fargo electors vote for school superin-
tendent. The law has never been
tested but if the supreme court should
be given the opportunity it will, he
saws no doubt hold it to be unconstitu-
tional as it is special legislation.
Supt. Lyon also says the jamestown
school district is not organized under
special charter. AS to his residence
he formerly voted in the Eldridge
school district, but having proved up
on his claim has voted in Jamestown
twice, thus establishing residence
here.
