after danger is past. But the road
is clear, money promises to be
plentiful enough for prosecution of
all legitimate enterprises, and
heavy contracts for raw materials
and manufactured goods are being
negotiated. In the small stocks of
goods carried in almost all lines
there is reason to look for an in
creased volume of business which
will be fairly sustained. Prices
of raw materials, except grain,
show a tendency to improve, and
the working force has been in
creased since election by resump-
ton Of full operation at factories
which had contracts with political
conditions attached.
Hope Progress: The results in
the state show how desperate were
the fusionists in their claim dur
ing the campaign that North Da-
kota was in the doubtful column.

Piggers Pulled.

Unmindful of the warning that
all engaged in a nuisance within
the city would be summarily dealt
with, as provided by section 2l48,
subsection So, Chief of Police
Sparks was emphatically instruct
ed. to have all found engaged in
the blind pig business brought to
justice. 1t is next to impossible
for an officer of the law to gain ac-
cess into places where liquor is,
being illegally sold, and for this
reason it was necessary to obtain
"decoys." During the past two
weeks intoxicating liquor has been
SO openly and defantly distributed
among harvest hands and others
that some action was necessary.
To this end Frank Beemer and E.
Peterson were engaged as "spot-
ters," with the result that William
Evans, Lars Nelson, n. A. Way
and w. McGovern were summoned
before Judge Duell on Tuesday to
answer charges preferred against
them.
Lars Nelson was the first to 60
into the stocks. He demanded a
jury trial, and will be the guest Of
Sheriff Wagness and his successor
for the next lOl days, unless he
produces 800 and costs.
William Evans called for jury
trial, and after the subpoenas were
issued, desired to leave it in the
hands of the Judge. The costs go
with his conviction-$lOO and
costs.
The case against N. A. Way was
dismissed, the evidence of one of
the star witnesses being too con-

Injunctions are placed on Nc
Governs and Evans buildings, and
both have appealed and given
bonds to appear at the next term of
the district court.
That the law as laid down is tc
be enforced against these nuisances
has been effectively shown by
this batch Of convictions. The
section says the city council has
power 'sto declare what shall be q
nuisance and to abate the same
and impose fines upon persons
who may create, continue or suffer
nuisances to exist This law is a

Mandan Times: The Republi-
can national ticket is elected by a
larger majority than of four years
ago. We did not believe that any
party could win in this country
with an unpatriotic platform and
the result shows that when the
Democratic party made anti-im-

it made the worst mistake any
party ever made.

vote for the endorsement of the
present administration. Every
candidate on the Republican,

Mckinley gets larger vote than
four years ago, which goes to show
that Democratic heresy is on the
wane. Four years from now the
Democratic party will abandon
free silver, Bryan, Imperialism,
and get up some new and taking
paramount issues.
Park River Gazette: The great
contest is over. William McKin-
ley will, if his life be spared, con-
tinue to be president for four
years more. His policy, home and
foreign, has been magniicently
endorsed by the nation at large.
The Republican party will have
the opportunity of bringing to a
final issue the unusual problems
which have been forced upon us
for solution. It is not probable
that the words "militarism'' and
imperialism" will again be heard
as party rallying cries. The
ghosts which were conjured up by
Mr., Bryan and his spellbinders
for this campaign have been laid
forever. Bryan was the evil gen
ius in the campaign in the Philip
pines, and, now that his powerless-
ness to help the insurgents has
been SO clearly demonstrated, a
speedy settlement Of the Philip
pine question may be confidently
expected.
American Economist: Once
more the country repudiates the
Democratic party and policy of
paralysis and disaster. Bryan and
Bryanism are rejected; Mckinley
and McKinleyism are approved.
Does this mean the end Of Bryan
and Organism? It is to be hoped
SO. Does it mean the endof Free
Trade as national issue? Pro-
badly not. Warned by their tre-
mendous defeat in the great cent
ers Of population, trade, commerce
and industry, the Democrats may
possibly have sense enough to dis
card l6 to l, but there is no reason
to think that they will learn from
the lesson of 1900 to discard the
folly Of Free-Trade. For the
grand result Of last Tuesdays vot-
ing there is profound cause for
national thanksgiving. 1t will
give new confidence and courage
to industrial and commercial
interests. It insures a continue
tion Of prosperity, peace and good
government. 1t places the solu-
ton Of difficult problems in safe
hands. In all ways it is a splen-
did outcome.

Blue Flowers.-One of the best blue
flowers 1 know of for house culture is
plumbago capensis. This is a free. al
most constant bloomer, and is easily
cared for. Browallia is another easily
grown plant, with blossoms of bright,
clear blue. There are few really good
blue flowers adapted to house culture.
Violets in the House.-The violet is
not adapted 70 house culture. The air
of the living room is too dry and warm

"DrinlIing's bad for people," replied
the little stranger, with grave shake
Of the head. MY father would never

"Ah," said Solomon, rather bitterly,

But haven't you got anyone to play

She glanced at him wonderingly.
Haven't you got any wife, or any
children, or any friends?''

IN his voice. 81 had gal once, lust

Then, as if ashamed of his emotion,
he suddenly turned his back upon her

detain him.
''Wellg'-with a grunt.
Il 'spect if your little girl was alive

wouldn't want the drink at all then"
"And-and p'raps even if now you

For minute or two she seemed
buried in deep thought. Her little
mouth was twitching rather queerly.
1t was evident that some sort of a
struggle was going on in her mind. At
length she gave an excited little Jump.
Eyes, that's just what will dol"
abe cried, triumphantly. "Old man,
how would you like me to come and

GIVES UP IT'S DEAD.
Young Men Lost While sailing
"a Small Yacht.

Muskegon, July 9.-The body Of Don
aid Delamarter, who was drowned in
Lake Michigan June 2s while sailing
with companion, Harry J. Cooper,
was recovered Saturday morning by a
fisherman, who found the corpse on
the beach about eight miles south of
here. The body was badly decom-
posed and the features almost unrecog-
nizable. but the only bruises visible
were the ones caused by the rough
usage of the water. The body was
found near the point where the yacht
in which the boys had been was thrown
up just a week ago. The father, Rev.
Louis Delamarter, had just started out
to patrol the beach, when he was met
by the fisherman, who had started to
notify the authorities. Young Coop
er's body was found Sunday evening
four miles north of Grand Haven.
