There is something to amuse

thing to entertain, something
to please, but nothing to offend
or bore in "a Breezy Time" at

This morning we got a note

man beat a young lady on Third

Knudt Groto of Freeman is said
to be hopelessly i'll with the
disease.
The school board of Sheyenne
have $55 worth more of new
books for the schools, one of
which commenced on the 18th
inst, with Miss Anna Sheridan
of Oaks in No. 3.
1t appears that the official
stamps to be used next election
are now in custody of the town
clerks, have not the figure 1900
OH it and have to be sent for
repairs to the county auditor.
The town of Sheyenne had
theirs fixed.
The blind pig started in San
doun had a short existence.
The sheriff of Ransom county
raided the place, took the pig
and the best liquor with him
aud gave whole lot of intoxi-
eating stuff to parties in San
doun. Here the sheriff did
what the law prohibits, he
gave it away before the court
could order it destroyed.
Mr.. Moody, our next sheriff,
has sent out a fine lot of cards
with his picture on and the
names of all the c andid a tes
on the winning ticket.
This is a grand thing for
Moody, he is true to the boys.
1t takes smart man to see
the logic between two persons,
when the same argument is
used with reference to them,
why he should and why he
should not be all claimed.
Look at what the Globe says:
"B. w. Schouweiler has for
years run store and bank in
Fairmount; he has loaned
money at big interest has got
rich in the business. Now if
ne could only be treasurer of
the county, put all the county
funds in his bank he could do
land office business. There
fore he should not be treasurer"
In another column the Globe
says: I'D. H. Mcmillan candi-
date for state trea surer is
eminently fitted for the post to
which he aspires, because he
has risen to a prominent posi-
tion in financial circles as one
of the largest merchants and
most substantial bankers in
the state and should therefore
be elected" They did not tell
us that Mcmillan has loaned
money at big interest, but he
has got rich in the business
let him be treasurer, let him
put all the state funds in his
banks, and he can do a land
office business! Reader what
do you really think of such
arguments made for two diff
ferent purposes. Is it not con-
tradicting. Is it proved that
Mcmillan will not put the state
funds into his banks, is it
proved that Mcmillan did not
get rich by loaning at big in
terests, how could he be rich
otherwise, no body runs a bank
for any other purpose than to
draw interest and make money.
A boss republican is no better
than a reform republican. 1t
seems to most people that Mr..
Mcmillan has too much busi-
ness of his own on hand to as
sure the people prompt and
safe handling Of a public office,
and therefore we say right here
Mcmillan is not fitted for that
office, what do we care for
"pedigrees". Dishon est per-
sons may also have good
pedigree, but a person has to
show by his own acts what he
is himself. We want straight
forward, honest and competent
man to handle our state funds,
and such we have in the per-
son of p. Birder of Walsh
county, as are all the rest on
the democratic ticket.

Albert Formaneck talked
over the long distance tele-
phone with his brother the
doctor in Chicago last evening
with reference to the illness of
Wenzel, their brother, who is
worse, and the doctor said he
would try and get away to
come last evening. 1t is
thought Wenzel will need to
be operated upon for appendi-
citis. So the doctor ought to
be here tomorrow morning.
Roosevelt said in so many
words that the constitution of
the United States had at one
time been respected and looked
to as a tribunal of popular
rights, but that it was out of
date now and ought to be re-
modelled. Sooner than have a
section of that honored docu-
ment stand in the way of few
scheming d e m a gogue s, he
would throw the whole docu-
ment overheard and build a
government on a plutocratic
basis.
And now the Hanna Trust
gang are wringing the changes
on the new educational quail
tication law of voters in some
of the southern states, saying
that the negro is disfranchised,
therefore governed without his
consent. Well, that's all right.
The democrats would give the
negro the franchise as soon as
he is able to read and would
give the Philippit his right
to self government as soon as
he is able to maintain the same;
and that would put an end to
the "war," and both would be
right from the qualification

Knute Nelson, the senator, is
a pretty bright man and a
good lawyer, and made one hit
in his little talk at the Roose-
velt show. He said it was
better to have large Philip
pine army than large Coxy
army. But there is this diff
ference between the two armies
one costs the people of these
states a million dollars day,
and threatens to destroy the
constitution of the country and
place the government itself in
centralized power. While the
other cost the people nothing
and promised them no hard
ship.

of IA years of age. The boy has always
been of an adventurous turn and short
time ago left home and went to st. Louis
where he purchased small skif and
started to float down the Mississippi
river to New Orleans. When he reached
point near Herculanium, town about
25 miles south of st. Louis. the boat was
caught and crushed in an ice jam and
the boy was forced to take refuge on the
ice. His cries for assistance we're finally
heard and he was rescued by some train
men who located him by the burning Of
matches as it was very dark, and the
little fellow had an ample supply Of
matches. His father was notified BY
