Cass County Casts Big Majority
Other Interesting Items
of Election.

Mrs. Matte NJ. Davis, fusion candi-

carried Cass county by 1,6OO majority.
Her ticket was showed under by about
1000.
Bjornson defeated Diesem, Rep, for
the house in LaMoure.
F%usionists defeated Lieut.. Pray in

A hack driver was hot footing his
team to the polls in Grand Forks with
five ladies in the vehicle bound for the
county superintendent ballot box
when the bottom of the rig fell out,
scattering millinery and displaying
lingerie over half a block. Things
were said freely.
jamestown Capital: Mr.. McHarg
is not grieving much over the loss of
the senatorial toga for it's warmth is
more than made up in the gain of a
handsome and accomplished Michigan

Foted Copper King Dies of Bright's
Disease at New York City
Early This Morning.
Montana Millionaire Who Was At One
End of the Feud With Million
aire w. A. Clark.
Has Been Ill For Months But His Nerve
and Vitality Delayed the
memorable End.

New York, Nov. 12.-Marcus DAILY,
Tie copper king, died at 1850 this
morning Of Bright's disease at the
Hotel Netherlands. Several times re-
Gently the end seemed near but Daily
showed wonderful vitality and rallied.
His wife, son and three daughters
were at the bedside when the end
came.
DAILY was of the best known men
in Montana, and was best known, per-
haps, through his undying enmity
with w. A. Clark, the Butte cope
king. Daily worked his way up from
a poor boy to the possession of mil
lions, and from an early falling out
with Clark, the feud has continued un-
til each man has spent thousands, il
not millions, in attempting to defeat
the wishes Of the other. When the
capital fight was on in Montana, Daily
threw all his influence in favor of his
own town, Anaconda, and Clark spent
thousands for Helena. The latter
town was the successful contestant for
the place. When the legislature con-
vened two years ago in Montana, Clark
was a candidate for the senate, and
DAILY was there to defeat him. Clark
was elected, after a session odorous
with scandal, and then DAILY set about
to have Clark shut out of the senate.
A long senatorial investigation of the
methods employed in Clark's election
resulted in his being denied the seat.
II this was victory for DAILY. The
latter has been i'll in New York for
several months, and during much of
the time he and Clark have been
guests under the same roof.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Nov. 12.-The

o'clock. Two are fatally injured, a
dozen more badly ~inju-~1 and eight or

P. w. Eddy, sheriff.
In Judge Pollock's district, he was
reelected by a larger majority than
before, receiving about 100 more
than his opponent, Edward Engerud.
He gets about 1000 majority in Cass,
and carries Steele and Trail also.
There were about 1GO straight re-
publiran votes cast in the city of Bis
marck.
Jim Anielso Sol ran for judge against
Fisk in the Grand Forks district, but
Fisk had an easy walkaway and was
re elected by an overwhelming ma
joriry
JOHN CcWaE ran ahead of Burke in
the Second judicial district and is
elected Judge to succeed Judge Nor
gan-unanimously elected to the SUI
preme bench. In the Seventh district
the result seems to hinge on Cavalier
county, where it is said Kneeshaw had
a majority, which will probably elect
him over Spencer.
First reports tended to show that
White had carried Richland county
but revised estimates gave the county
to Wipperman by a few over 100.
This is a great showing for White, as
Wipperman several years ago carried
the county by 600 votes for auditor.
Griggs county, that four years ago
cast II majority against Mckinley and
two years ago gave a republican ma
jority of 80 on congressman, this year
is republican by 100 majority. An
other county redeemed from populism.

MAY BE CLOSED.

DRUG STORES MAY BE CLOSED
BY INJUNCTIONAL PROCEED
INGs, SAYS THE SUPREME
COURT.
The appeal in the case of the state
against McGruer had been decided in
favor Of the state.
This case is in which a great
deal of interest has been manifested,
as it has a very decided bearing on the
enforcement of the prohibition law
throughout the entire state. The en-
forcement league, through its attor-
neys. caused injunction proceedings
20 be brought in the usual manner
against the defendant. McGruer, and
two other Langdon druggists. The
McGruer case was taken up for the
purpose of making a test case. \ de-
cision was rendered by Judge Fisk,
who ruled that an injunction would
not lie against a druggist holding a
permit. This, if sustained, would
have been a sad blow to the prohibi-
tionists, as it would have rendered in
operative the injunction feature of the
law in perhaps the majority of cases
which the league has occasion to bring,
The case was promptly appealed with
the result that the lower court was re-
versed, and the fact established that
drug stores in which liquor is illegally
sold may be closed under the provi-
sions of the statute, just as other places
are.

Up to the Fusionists.

One of our fusion county ex-
changes last week had half col
umn of queries under the caption
OLA few " Why's" The following is
a sample of the why's"
"Why was Auditor Bragaw al
lowed but 81 200 for deputy hire
in 1891, when the amount was in
creased to $4,000 in 1892"
1t is sufficient reply 70 the above
to call attention to the fact that in
1892 w. J. Pilling and Charles l..
Daggett constituted the democratic
majority on the board of county
commissioners, which body regu-
lates the matter of deputy hire.
That being the case, we respectfully
submit that the question is up to
The Fusionists for an answer, as
the increase was made by a demo
cratic board.
The rest of the half column OF
why's" are as silly as the one
quoted and decidedly amateur in
editorial method.

SUPPRESSION OF TRUSTS.
We ere in favor of amending the
constitution of The United States so
as 10 give congress the power more
fully to regulate and suppress

of the democratic party in the pres

of the United States for their
ratification.
