and, as the end of his first term draws
near, it is wei! known that the busi-
ness OF the office has been well at
tended to and that he has satisfied the
most eXacting voter in that respect.
Mr.. Niemeyer is as popular now as
when elected two years ago. His ca
pacity has been proved and his faith
full attention to his duties demon
strated. Business men, lawyers, farm
ers, all classes can testify to the fact
that County Auditor Niemeyer has
made good officer and if faithful ser
vice is demanded of our county officers
he is entitled to d second term on that
account alone. More work devolves
on the auditors Office than that of any
Office in the county building. Each
legislature seems to increase the work
and responsibility Of the auditor.
Auditor Niemeyer is at all times
obliging and courteous and his host of
warm friends will rally to his support
this fall, from each ward in the CITY
and from the most distant precincts
in the county.

increase Of TAG since 1890, when the
states population was lS2,7l9 The

In Stutsman County's Affairs Dur
ino JUDGE GlaspeII's
Term.
Records Prove Quite the Contrary
How the County lost Some
$1,000 Cash
IN the N. P. Tax CaSe-fedvy Court
Expenses in the last
-Four Years.

Some of Judge Glaspell's friends are
urging support for him on the GROUND
of economy in court expenses but a
careful review of his record during the
past four years proves quite the con-
trary. 1t was due to Judge Glaspell's
litigious spirit that the Stutsman
county taxes against the Northern
Pacific railroad were not compromised,
but we're kept in court for several
years, at the end of which litigation
the county received some $1,000 less
than was offered by the company be-
fore litigation was commenced. An
article signed Taxpayer, which was
published in the Fargo Forum and in
the Daily Capital of this city over a
year ago, and which has never been
contradicted by Judge Glaspell or his
friends, gave the facts in the case. The
substance of this statement was that
land taxes, amounting, with penalty
and interest, to $50, 856 were claimed
by the county. The railroad company
contested the payment of the claim on
the grounds of certain illegalities in
the levy of the taxes and the nOn-as-
sessibility of the lands for certain
years. The company offered to settle
before litigation was begunfor S2l, $50.
The article above referred to stated
that
'sThe personal views of the board OF
county commissioners were to settle
the tax matter on an equitable basis,
if possible, without a lawsuit. But
Judge Glaspell rather assumed personal
direction of the matter and was at all
times bitterly opposed to any compro,,
mise with the railroad company, ana
urged that any proposition other than
the payment of the full amount would
be approved by him. The county com
missioners being aware OF his position,
decided to follow out the idea ana
wishes of Judge Glaspell and lnstl-
tuted legal proceedings to compel the
railroad company to ante up the full
amount
The United Sttaes court finally de-
cided, after extensive litigation, that
the county was entitled to only about
$ll, 200, which sum was paid into the
county treasury after Judgment. This
gave the county some $4,000 less than
the company offered, besides the ex-
pense of litigation, which amounted
to about 81, 600.
Further, as to the claim OF economy
on the part of the judge, it will be
found on examination OF the bills
allowed by the county for court ex-
penses during the past four years, that
they exceed those Of the last four
years of Judge Roses term as judge,
while the volume of business before
the court in this county has greatly
diminished.
Where the claim that the Judge has
saved the county money during his
term of office comes in is hard to see.
1t is like a good many other claims in
his behalf made at this time for cam
paign purposes only

addressed the International Typo
graphical union convention today as
a representative of the special stand

paper publishing association making
several suggestions in the interests
of harmony between the publishers
and the International Typographical
union. The committee, he said, was
not appointed to provoke controver-
sizes or antagonize labor but on the
contrary to promote better under
standing between members and en-
ployes. "You are asked by publish
ers," he said, ''to unite with them in
establishing a joint arbitration COM
mittee to adjust the disputes between
publishers and local unions that can
not otherwise be settled, and act as
a board of appeal. If you would do
this, long step would be taken to-
ward the abolition of the strike. boy

resolution of the publishers that

Manila, Aug. 14-Reports from the
Visayas islands show there has been
increased activity among the insur-
gents there during the last six weeks.
The American losses in the island of
Panay last month were. greater than
any month since January last. Gen.
Mojica, in Leyte and Gen. Lucban, in
Samar, are harassing the garrisons
shooting into the towns during the
night, ambushing small parties, firing
and then retreating upon larger bod
les. The rebels possess an ample sup
ply of ammunition and are organized
to a considerable degree. The Amer
leans garrisoned three towns in the
Samar island, two of which shelter
one-tenth of the original inhabitants
who suffer from continual 'sniping'
of the rebels from the surrounding
hills. The third is without any native
inhabitants, the rebel outposts a mile
away preventing their return to their
homes. Gen. Lucban punished the
islanders who have any relations with
the Americans. Cebu is likewise dis
turbed, barring those who have taken
the oath of allegiance to the United
States. Rebels are imprisoned in
Manila. When amnesty was pro
claimed It practically was without ef-
feet and the expectation that the proc
lamation would accomplish much is
daily diminishing. Banks. under gov
ernment pressure, restored the ex-
change rate of two Mexican silver
dollars to one gold American dollar
