A LIBERAL OFFER.

The Northwestern newspaper which
is conceded the largest circulation Is
the Minneapolis Tribune. AS an all
round purVeyor Of information and
entertaining reading its popularity is
the best proof Of its ascendency.
What the Daily Tribune is to the
city people the Tw1ce-a-Week edition
Of the same publication, the Farmers
Tribune, is TO that great majority OF
the people Of the state who are too
busy TO read a daily paper.
The Twice-a-Week Farmers Trib-
une, Is, to all intelts and purposes, the
farmers daily. 1t is a condensation
Of the news for the three days preced-

RANSOM COUNTY.

Lisbon, N. D., Nov. 1.-THE repub-
licans had a regular landslide in Ran
som county on Tuesday, and the Off
cial completed figures give the McKin-
ley electors 922 votes, while the Bryan
electors only figure up 1872, making a
republican majority of no less than
430, which is fully double what
the party managers estimated before
the election and a gain of over 200 from
the vote cast in 1896. The total vote
this year is, however, only % more
than was cast four years ago, showing
that the large republican gain is most
" derived from the independent and
democratic party.
In the county Offices there is, too. a
big change. Two years ago the FIJI.
sionists elected five, while this yeal
w M. Jones, auditor, is the only flu.
sionist elected. The present county
treasurer, W. F. Grange. was defeated
sby the republican candidate BY thu
small majority OF four. Tom Curtis
states attorney, and Captain Smith
county judge, failed to stop the repub,
lican tide and dropped short, although
both ran ahead Of their ticket.

The Jamestown Alert thinks the
abuse of Lieutenant Hildreth by the
press OF the state was responsible for
the defeat of many volunteer soldiers
who were candidates for Office. We
fail to see wherein Mr.. Hildreth was
abused. His record was attacked and
rightly so. 1t was stated and pretty
we'll substantiated that he was in favor
OF the policy of the government in the
Philippines until he became a candl-
date for office and then he had to
change his views in order to fit the
Bryan platform. The man who will
forsake the cause of his country for
Office is hardly to be considered a safe
man to honor. But will the Alert
take the case of Major White. He was
a volunteer and did his full duty. He
came home and fought the battles OF
his country as we'll at the polls as N
the field. Certainly the attacks upon
the record of Lieutenant Hildreth did
not harm him, White) for he ran well
up with the head of the ticket and LOST
votes only where personal friendship
and nationality made some for Wiper.
man. When Lieutenant Hildreth lef1
his large practice and went forth t.
wal there were many to do him honor
When he came home and urged al
good citizens to support the govern
ment there were more to do him honor
But when, suddenly, he changed hi
views and felt that the government
was all wrong, it was difficult to SCI
any reason for it except a desire TO
office.

GUN PLAY AT THE SHERIDAN
SEVERAL YEARS AGO IS RE-
CALLED.
Speaking of the attempt to bluff
Alex Mckenzie with a gun at Cape
Nome, the Jamestown Alert says: The
above incident calls up another of a
similar kind that happened in March,
1890. at the Sheridan house in Bis
marck. It was during the excitement
of the last days Of the legislature.
Condo Hamlin, now editor of the Pho
neer Press, had been sent to the state
to roast the members of the legisla-
ture who had e~ndeavored to pass the
old lottery bill. The paper had been
savagely attacking many of the lead
ing men in the state and had printed
sensational reports about bribery of
members, etc. Hamlin, a slight built
man, was about to take the train for
st. Paul, having just emerged from
hiding. He was standing at the Sher-
idan house bar taking a drink, when
Alex Mckenzie stepped UP and placing
a hand on his shoulder said he would
like to speak with him. Hamlin, turn
ing quickly around, pulled a. revolver
without warning, and attempted to fire
lit in McKenzie's face. The weapon
was struck upwards by a bystander,
and Mckenzie seized the barrel with
one hand and held the pistol still in
Hamlin's hand, pointing to the cell
ing. The crowd became enraged at
the effort to kill the big scotchman,
and would have made short work of
Hamlin had not Mckenzie saved his
life. Mckenzie forced Hamlin in a
corner of the room, handed him back
the pistol and throwing back the lapels
of his coat exclaimed: you are a
coward. You would kill me for doing
nothing to you. / am a man; shoot
me now" Hamlin weakened and
wanted to shake hands. Mckenzie
refused but escorted him to the trair
and kept back a dangerous and excited
crowd, who, in the turmoil and passion
of the moment would have undoubted.
ly made short work of the Pioneer
Press man. The scene was witnessed
by a great many who will never forge
the magnanimity and courage shown
by Mckenzie.
