SOCIALIST TICKET NAMED.
Fl. Adolph Muller Nominated for Con-
rrcsS in This District.

The Socialist Labor party of this Con-
gressional Distric! held q convention at the
partys headquarters, on North Fifth
Street, last night. and nominated Ii.
4AdoEph Muller, of Seven Pines, for Con-
gress, and Joseph z. Madison of Rlcn
mond, for elector. The platform, an ex-
haustive affair, endorses the nomination
of Joseph F. Mallory for President and
Valentine Remmel for Vice-President of
the United States. 1t sets forth in its
first sections that the true theory of poll
les is that the machinery of politics must
be owned and controlled by the whole peo-
pie, and that the theory of production
must likewise belong TO the people in
common. The platform then holds that
the existence of a privileged class s.nd
the alleged corruption OF the Government
by that class are attributable to the fact
that the despotic system of economics III
vogue in this country is direct opposite
of our domestic system of politics.
The Social Labor men further on in their
platform say:
Science and invention are diverted from
their humane purposes, &c the ensiavement
OF men, women and children.
against such a system this convention
enters it's protest. Once moro i reiterates
it's fundamental declarations that private

SUGAR BEETS,

Fargo, Aug. 14.-Prof. z. f. Laid OF
the agricultural college. the state
chemist. has published a long article
on the results of his experiments with
sugar beets. For a number of years
the government experiment station
here has been investigating the mat
ter. and the article is especially apro-
pos now as there is a plan on foot to
erect a big factory at Cakes. Prof.
Ladd claims that Oakes is the center
OF a large territory that possesses the
ideal conditions for sugar beet raising.
The climatic conditions at Cakes are
more favorable than in Michigan,
Utah or California, where the most
successful beet sugar factories are To-
Gated. Prof. Ladd doubts whether
the industry could be carried on in the
Red river valley with success as the
soil is too rich. If sufficient acreage
can be contracted for it is said the
factory is a sur 60, as there is lots of
capital behind the enterprise.

of land. Last year the state board
fixed Cass county's valuation per acre
for farming lands at S6.54. This
year the county board went tue state
board one better and made the valu-
alton SG.M an acre. There was an
increase made over these figures by
the state board. If the other coun-
ties had followed. or nearly so, the
valuations fixed by the state board last
year, no increases would have been
necessary. But when the counties
cut down their own valuation it de-
wolves upon the state board to put
them back where they stood. AS the
matter stands now, Cass county is val
ued at only 10 cents an acre below
Trail, and it is generally admitted
that the superiority of Trail county
lands over Cass is not adequately rep
resented by that difference. One rea-
son why Trail was not raiseu to the
same figure as last year was because
the county has suffered severely from
drouth. followed by two severe hail
storms that cleaned out what little
grain there was left, so that the farm
ing lands of the county will not be
very profitable this year.
Hon. Jud LaMoure was before the
board to look after the interests of
Pembina county. Pembina was re-
turnedat $3.m an acre where last
year it was assessed at SILT. The
board raised the county above last
years figures and made the value this
year $4.27.

sets forth the claim that until August

time. and that he on that visit sub
mitted a proposition from her husband

eating about $500. She asked for and
obtained IN injunction restraining
him from drawing out any money from
either bank or from either bank or
