At Sheriff Moody's Home.

ht onerl1 M00dy'S Home.
Here is an extract from the
Madisonian Democrat, near DR..
Moody's Wis c on 8 in HON e,
which speaks complimentary
of that popular gentleman's
candidacy for sheriff of this
county:
1t has come to the notice of
the Madisonian that G. E.
Moody, son of the noted old
time sheriff of Richland county,
this state, has been nominated
for sheriff of Richland county,
North Dakota, by the demo
Gratis of that county. bud
Moody, as he was familiarly
known among his friends at
Richland Center, this state,a and
who also has a number of
friends in this city, promised
to be chip off of the old block.
Sheriff Moody was one of the
most noted sheriffs in this state
in his day, and when young
Bud" got big enough, he was
made marshal of Richland
Center and he proved a success
in every sense of the word.
And now we are of the opinion
that the democrats of Richland
county, North Dakota, have
made no mistake in naming G.
E. Moody fo- sheriff of that
county. He is we'll equipped
to handle the dutieso the posi-
ton. G. E. is a cousin of Prof.
James B. Moody, who has serv-
ed several years as superinten-
dent of schools of Richland
county, this state. The Maids
onion will be pleased to learn
of G. E. Moody's election to the
office of sheriff of Richland
county, North Dakota, and can
bespeak for him good success
in the conduct of the office.
The doctor keeps up his
hustle and is making a careful
canvass aud feels that his hosts
of friends everywhere will stay
by him till the polls close in
November.

DIR. Kaufman improved the
occasion of the late Great
Northern excursion to Win
nipeg to visit the northern part
of the state, not, however, take
in Winnipeg. The doctor visit
ed his friends Mr.. and Mrs.
Lembke at Hamilton, and from
there visited Pembina and
Cavalier. He is much pleased
with the country and people
up there. In fact likes the
people very much. He had an
extended visit with the poll
tical chieftain, Judson LaMoure
at Pembina. The doctor says
the crops there in some in
stances are fair and other in
stances not so good; but that
the people all have good homes
and say they can stand the
shortage of crops this season.
Says the little towns he visited
all have handsome stores and
the county as whole has
progressive appearances.

David McC Cauley Dead.

David McCauley Dead.
David McCauley died Sun
day and the funeral occurred
at the family residence, Nc
Cauleyville, Tuesday, and the
remains were shipped to St.
Paul the evening of that day
for burial in the family lot at
that city, Rev. VIM. Edwards
conducting the funeral serv-
ices.
Mr.. McCauley was born in
Manchester, New Hampshire.
% years ago, came west to ST.
Paul in an early day, and in
1862 came up to the Red River
Valley at the head of a supply
train, and was so we'll pleased
with the beautiful spot which
has for so long borne his name.
that he settled there and made
1T his home for nearly 40 years.
Kind neighbors improvised
seating capacity under the trees
about the family home for the
funeral, taking the pulpit from
the local church, so that the
arrangements seemed quite
complete and tasty, but the
Kew. Edwards eschewed the
pulpit, stood at the head of the
coffin and conducted prelimin-
aries in a beautiful manner and
delivered one of the most i'm
pressive and eloquent funeral
sermons ever heard in the
valley.
David McCauley was the
second white man to settle in
the valley on American terri
tory, Mr.. Cavalier having been
the first. He was an able.
broad-guage, we'll qualified
man and did his part in early
days in helping to direct public
matters, served in various
capacities, school superintend-
ent, ETC., and was indeed a
walking encyclopedia" of the
the historical facts pertaining
to the settlement and develop
ment of this justly famous val
ley. Understood all the facts
and history of the rise of Fort
Abercrombie and the Indian
outbreaks, including the great
siege of the fort in '62.
Two sisters, years ago, came
out from New Hampshire and
made their home at St. Paul,
and died there and the remains
OF the brother are now placed
by their side in the family lot.
Mr.. McCauley leaves a
widow, perhaps 40 years of age
who will remain at the old
home and manage the property,
much as it has been managed
in the past several years.
An highly esteemed and old
time citizen has gone to his
rest.

Outlook for Gold Imports.

Gold shipments present and to come now foot up s9. 150.oO0 and il Is believed the move ment is but begun. All Europe needs raw cotton. and the price of it is high, and this alone has depressed foreign exchange until gold must be sent this way in spite of all efforts in London and the continental capi- tai to retain it. The tightness of money in New York. caused by drains to the south and west promotes the inflow of gold
 As a rally in foreign exchange is improb- able while cotton, wheat and other products are moving freely, it is believed the new movement will go to large fgures-to fig ures large enough at any rate to equal all exports in years time of the yellow metal. If il is maintained 1t will soon lap on to the season in eastern money centers when cur rency for crop-movng purposes will no longer be needed in the south and west In that case morey would become very easy, and speeula ton active, and prices would begin to go upward Even now the prices of staples are moving slowly towards better figures as Bradstreets shows in it's latest number

Russia is Hard Up.

Doubtless Russia's lack of aggressive ness and stiffneckedness in China is ev- plained by the fact that she needs money for railroad building and other develop ment plans, and is not in a condition to withstand the drain of war conducted at enormous expense far from the source of supplies. Her Siberian railroad is in- complete, and supplies cannot be sent over it. The Chinese problem has, in fact come up at a time not opportune for her. It has come five years earlier at least than she hoped it would come, and she is not ready to assert herself as she otherwise would
 She is trying, it is stated, to borrow money in Paris and in New York. She wants for immediate purposes. not con- neoted with Chinese campaign, s150, ,O0O.O0o. rate of interest are now under considera- ton both in Paris and in New York, the belief prevailing that the two cities will absorb the proposed issue of bonds.
 It is fortunate indeed for the world s peace and for trade in coarse cotton goods and iron and lumber that Russia is not a nation of accumulated wealth-that she is hard up. It is about the best guarantee of peace that the world has in connection with the Chinese muddle What Russia wants France will want, and Germany will thus be left alone to contend for aggres- sion and partition and a general ruction in China.

Mr. Bryan in New York.

The reception accorded MT. Bryan in Mad ison Square Garden, the largest theatre in New York, must be considered all indication both of the intensity of public sentiment as well as Of its mmensity. No building could hold the people of the great city who de- sired to hear him, and to do him honor.
 That ovation shows how the city feels and w.u vote. It had never been equalled there. and probably not elsewhere. In five minutes after the opening of the doors sixteen thou- sand people were seated in the Garden, and as many more were outside of it desiring seats. This shows the wonderful hold of the great apostle of Democracy upon the popu- Jar heart No man in all our political his tory ever had such following and no man has better deserved such q following by dis playing greater sincerity or greater cour- age. His triumph in New York may be said to be the crowning triumph of the cam paign, for the city cast an adverse plurality in 1896, and is today the chief seat of the special interests and privileges that are unitedly fighting MT. Bryan and the Demo- cratic platform.
 MT. Bryau's speech was an admirable one. He showed that he stood as the truest and surest conservator of honest wealth, and then he explicitly explained what he would attempt to do in office with that wealth which simply measures the advantages which some citizen has taken over many citizens" He would put on the free list, if he could, every trust article, and he would dn like manner require all trust corporations to take out licenses and undergo strict scrutiny in all other States than those in which they were organized. He expressed the conviction of industrial despotism, "where q few men will control each great branch of industry, when every person who buys finished products will buy at trust raw material will furnish at trust price, and when every man who works for wages will work for the wages fixed by the trust"
 This broadly and accurately defines the industrial and commercial situation, and under the rule of MT. Mckinley and of the McKinley-Dngley tariff it is question whether we have not arrived at the stage of industrial despousm. If are still ap- proachng it, 1t Is at break-neck speed, and four years more of McKinleyism would fully complete the revolution.

A Million Boxes.

It should be source of rejoicing through out the South that Florida orange grow CTS Were not vanqushed by the great freeze of 1885 In the counties around Tampa the groves are in fine condition. and the yield of the present year is esti- mated at 100000 boxes. Before the big freeze the crop of the State had run to 5OOO,00O boxes, but 100000 boxes are worth this year nearly as much as 5,OOO, GOO boxes were before the freeze.
 The groves at Tampa and especially those south of 1t are considered reasonably safe from tree-destroying freezes. The gulf side seems to be safer from such dan gers than the Atlantic slope on like line of latitude. There are groves, however on both sides of the State, and in the in- terior counties, and discouraging as a freeze is to an orange grower on account of the slow growth of the trees, yet the industry Is picking up, and unless nature again assails it hip and thigh 1t will un- doubtedly reach the records of the early nineties.
 The State is growing pine apples. digging phosphate rock. and making lumber and naval stores, but her greatest pride was

SHAKESPEARE AND RoCKEFELLER

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Shakespeare and Rockefeller, Homer and Carnegie, Dante and Pullman stand on the same level of greatness in the opinion of Professor Triggs of Chicago University Furthermore, the professor declares that there will never come a time in America when literature and art will hold higher place than they do at present. Beauty is to give way forever to untility. The con- summate flower of civilization is to be Q flying machine a worldwide organiza- tion which shall at some time in the fu- ture control the supply of fresh air.
 The trouble with the learned professor is that he tries to compare things which in the nature of things have no points of con- tact or resemblance. In so doing he makes both himself and his subjects ridiculous It is true that the Standard Oil Company has lowered the price of kerosene oil and sent light into many corners of the earth hitherto dark or illuminated only with tall low candles Incdently, MT Rockefeller has amassed an enormous fortune. If either riches or illumination was the sole or the highest end of life Professor Triggs might safely set his patron upon the same

GOVERNOR SAVERS
Says Texas Will Certainly do the Proper
 Thing

New York, October Ex-Governor Savers of Texas was asked last night why the Texas State Legislature had taken no re. lief action, when the latest reports show a financial ability of upwards of $10, 900.
 'The principal reason" the Governor replied, lis because a session of the Leg islature has not been called. The Legisla- ture has not been in session since the dis aster To have gotten the members to- gether would have cost more than they would probably have appropriated. How ever, the Legislature meets in two months, and it may be relied upon that Texas will do the proper thing when the time comes ;

pedestal with Shakespeare. Following the same line of reasoning. he should place above all the rest the prehistoric man who clipped out the first stone hammer. With that hammer the whole present structure of civilization has been built But after the kerosene lamp is lit man wants books to read by its light and pictures to look at. It is of course more comfortable to lie down in sleeping car than to ride all night in day coach. but after he. has reached the end of his journey the travel CT possibly wants something more than a square meal before starting back home
 Though Professor Triggs is attempting to make an impossible comparison, it may be well to point out one of the reasons which make it so. The great captains of industry of the present day are in a sense the result of evolution and of circumstances. The Standard oil Company would have been impossible save for natures stores of crude petroleum and for the rapid and enormous growth of population in the United States. The company as it stands today is not the work of any one man, but of hundreds, and in that fact of course is shown the executive ability of it's organizer Shak- speare and the other artists of all time are original and individual They stand alone. What they offer no man need accept But a world which contained only kerosene lamps, sleeping cars, skyscrapers, and oth- CT mechanical and material devices would be poor place for college professors.
 Before Professor Triggs attempts anoth- CT comparison he will do well to wait until he has squared the circle, invented a per petual motion machine, and accomplished certain other impossiblites.

A Big Cargo

Atlanta, Ga, October TIA special from Galveston, Tex, says:
 '"rhe British steamer Irada cleared yes- terday, having on board 26,40O bales of cot ton. She also carried 24,0oO bushels of wheat and 20OO barrels of flour. The largest cargo that ever left here previously was that of the European. The Irada cargo is valued at $1,3 ,S12. The value of the cargo of the European was about half that, be- cause of the great difference in the price of cotton between 1897 and 19OO."
