Late yesterday afternoon Postmaster
Cunningham received word from the pos
tai officials that Walter c. Griswold had
been appointed as letter carrier.
Some time ago Mr.. Cunningham made
an duplication for a fourth carrier on the
grounds that the territory laid out by the
postal authorities was not covered as
Il should be, for the outlying residents
got but one mail a day. Now with the
fourth carrier ~ is believed that the out
skirts OF the town will get two mails a
day as well as those In the center OF the
town.

he WAS SEEKING A FORTUNE.

Wilkesbarre. Dee. 2o.-After an absence
of twenty-three years oliver II. New
comb has returned TO find his wife still
waiting for him.
He went away a poor man; he returns
with a fortune in Klondike gold.
Newcomb left here I'm 1877 and went
West TO make his fortune.
He commenced prospecting for gold,
but had small success, and dritted from
one camp 10 another.
For two years his wife heard from him
regularly. Then his letters ceased.
One day word came that he had been
killed IN a railroad wreck. and the news
was accepted as the truth.
The wife though, was never satisfied
with the small proof that came with the
story, and through all the years she has
believed that some day he would return
TO her and TO his son. who has grown
from the baby he was when his father
left into fine young man.
The wife never married because OF
this hope and continued 10 live I'm the
same house, SO that when her husband
came back he would find her where he
had left her.
Her friends told her. as the years
grew, that there was no chance of ever
hearing from her husband again, and adj
vised her 10 marry Dut she remained
steadfast and waited.
Tuesday nignt the wanderer returned
somewhat bent, somewhat gray, some
what heavy OF pocket, too.
He stopped at a hotel and inquired
about his wife.
Had he found her married again and
happy he would have gone away as
quietly as he had come. but when he
learned she was still awaiting his coming.
and. in the old home. he sped to her and
revealed his identity.
With cry OF JOY the faithful wife cast
herself sobbing into his arms.
Newcomb says he tried for years to
make a fortune. and finally decided he
would not return until he did
As The years passed and he still strug
gled he got the idea his wife, thinking
him dead. might have married again..
He decided not TO write. but when he
was rich to come back and see for HIM
self how things were.
When the Klondike was opened he was
one OF the first there, and he accumulat-
ed fortune.
The family reunion Is a very happy
one. Next spring father. mother and son
will go to the klondike.

Another Mutual Insurance Co. in Trouble.

Another mutual insurance
has gone into the hands of a receiver,
the Western Mutual at Fessenden, for
which T. F. McCue has been appointed
receiver or the application of Insurance
Commissioner Harrison. The assets of
the company are estimated at $4,000
with total liabilities of $4,000. The
president of the company was T. F.
Beiseker of Darlington. The company
did a hail business and was heavily
caught last season aad unable to pay
its losses. the report Of Commissioner
of Insurance Harrison for the year 1899
credits the company with having insured
2,63S risks Of $40, 800 acres in 1898. The
premiums reported are s64,55S.Io, the
losses incurred s4S,5oo.8o and the losses
paid but s21, $3.50.
In 1898 the Fessenden company sus-
tanned severe losses in Walsh and other
counties of the state. 1t seem that a
number of these losses were unpaid and
suit had been brought in numerous in
stances. An example of the suits
brought is one Of Nicholas Dipple of
Grafton to recover $3.50 claimed to be
due him on a crop insured by the COM
pany in 1893. In his complaint Dipple
recites that the loss was adjusted by the
company in August 1893, and payment

A North Dakota Convert.

The following statement from w. C.
Leistikow, Of Grafton, published in the
Minneapolis Journal, will be interesting
reading for North Dakota democrats:

stuck by Bryan because | did not believe
the free silver issue would develop into a
law. In the last year, however, l have
changed my mind considerably under
the tendency OF the democrats to oppose
expansion as we call it. l think if there
is one country more than another that
ought to expand it is the United States.
| am with Mckinley on the Philippines
and the Puerto Rico tariff.
think the tariff question is settled.
That will take care of itself. We can
compete with any nation. believe the
financial question is settled. am as
enthusiastic for expansion as n one
can be. believe this country has the
resources, the railroads and the genius
to trade with the world. favor holding
the Philippines. Puerto Rico, Hawaii and
! believe Cuba will ask to be annexed.
| also believe that if Bryan, %anti-expan-
sion and free silver is the policy of the
Democratic party they will not carry
many states in the Union. believe the
trade of this country will expand more
in the orient than anywhere else for the
next century. The Philippine islands
will be of more value to this country
than we can nov possibly believe.
| am too enthusiastic an American to
believe that the flag of this country
should be pulled down where it has been
raised-I don't care where.
Mr.. Lcistikow has been one of the
most influential members of his party in
the state, but the policy which Bryan and
his clique seem determined to cram down
the threats Of the members of the party
is such a nauseous dose that MI. Leisti-
kow, like many other democrats, refuses
to swallow it. He realizes that the
Democratic party, under its present
leadership, is engaged in a campaign of
destructiveness, of tearing down what
others have built, and he will have none
of it. His position is that of many other
democrats who do not propose to be used
as tools for the furtherance of the am
bilious schemes of a few politicians like
Bryan who use the prominence into
which they have forced themselves for
purposes of personal gain.-Grand Forks
