Personally confess TO have misread
grievously the sign of the times. This
was an easy error because my premises
were wrong. I trusted too much to the
theory that wide diffusion of education

Under these circumstances II is easy
TO see that the leaders OF the victorious
party will construe the election as a
blank Endorsement OF the full programme

GOT THE PRIZE.

Fargo, Oct. 2O.-North Dakotans
are elated over the fact that the state
captured the gold medal at the Paris
exposition on wheat. This honor is
especially noteworthy, when it is con-
sidered that it was won in open COM
petition against the world. The ex-
hlbit was prepared by Professor Shep-
perd of the state agricultural college
at Fargo He sent samples of Scotch
fife and blue stem, showing the i'm
provement in breeding by giving
samples of the improved and the ORR
ginal grain. The professor feared the
Minnesota competition most, because
of the well known reputation of Pro-
fessor. Hayes, of Minnesota expert
ment farm, who is one of the recog-
nized wheat authorities Of the United
States. There was considerable good
natured rivalry between the gentlemen
and North Dakotans are certain that
their wheat and Professor Shepperd
are both the real thing, when Min
nesota and Professor Hayes can be
defeated in worlds contest.

OF the jamestown company being les
sened. This Mr.. Baldwin regarded
as a calamity fearful to contemplate.
Mr.. Baldwin said some would never
be satisfied until the earth was again
punctured by deep hole for the pur-
pose of tapping the power down be-
low, When this well was drilled the
problem of lights might be solved.
Anyway, Mr.. Baldwin thought Alex
ander Hughes was coming here to
make money and he would surely
make it out of some one. us.
Mr.. Lutz thought that the granting
of franchise to corporation a SER
ious matter. The use of electric
lights was becoming greater every day
and it would be better for the city if
every one could use the same. There
was a sense of justice in it, Mr.. Lutz
thought, and if one were allowed a.
franchise it should also be granted an
other. A company granted a fran
chise should give the city good re-
turns. He thought the matter of
lighting the city and pumping water
should be treated separately. He
thought provisions should be made in
the ordinance for the revision of
prices every five OF ten years, as the
manufacture of electricity was becom-
ing Cheaper every year.

INDIANS SELL A LARGE GUAM
TITY OF BEEF TO THE GOVERN
MENT. 49,"
Cannon Ball, N. D., Oct. 2O-The
Indians have sold to the government
over 100000 pounds of gross beef
this week at cents per pound The
cattle were of fine quality and will net
the Indians nearly $4,000.
Louis Primeau, halfbreed Indian
trader and famous Sioux interpreter,
procured a case or two of beer from
one Andy Marsh at Vanderbilt, S. D.,
and, as result, stabbed and nearly
killed another halfbreed. Mr.. Marsh
will be tried shortly at Sioux Falls for
selling liquor to PTimeau. AS Primeau
is not distinguishable from white
man, and has always procured liquor
at such cities as Fargo, Pierre, Sioux
Falls, etc., during terms of court.
while acting as interpreter, the prose-,
cution of Marsh is looked upon as
somewhat of hardship.
A delegation of Indians recently at
tended street fair at Casselton and
returned immensely pleased at the
hospitable and kindly treatment given
them.
There has been some speculation as
to which way the Indians will vote if
permitted to go to the polls 1t is en-
tirely probable the vote at the present
time would be solidly democratic, as
the recent reduction of rations and loss
of annuities has not endeared the pres
ent administration to poor Lo. If the
democratic party were in power the
vote would be republican,

quartermaster in the Philippines:
am pleased to acknowledge ra-
ceipt of your invitation to attend the
dedication of the monument erected
to the memory of the members of Co.
c, First North Dakota VOL Inf, and
who died in the Philippine islands, and
beg to express my regret that I am
unable to attend.
Having been stationed year at
Bismarck, shortly before the Spanish
war, knew many of the members of
the First North Dakota volunteers
personally and officially, and took
very great interest in the regiment.
was pleased to find that, before the
regiment left, the whole Philippine
army recognized this organization as
one of the best bodies of troops in the
Islands.
Those of the regiment who died
in the war in Luzon richly merit such
a monument as you have erected TO
the memory of the deceased heroes of
Company c, First North Dakota vol
unte9rs.'
These letters are tributes of which
the members of the regiment may be
proud, and which go to prove the ex-
cellent record of the First North Da-
kota. ..... De - .sr -. .s%5a.

TRIBUTE.

MILITARY MEN.

PAID THE FIRST NORTH DAKOTA
REGIMENT BY DISTINGUISHED
MILITARY MEN.
When the monument to the First
North Dakota soldiers was dedicated
at Grafton, several letters of regret
were received from distinguished mill
tary men, who pay high tribute to the
services of the First North Dakota.
General E. S. Otis, who was in COM
mand in the islands, wrote:
Il have just received, through
Washington, an invitation to attend
at the dedication of the monument
erected to the memory of the members
of Company c, First North Dakota
Vol. Infantry who gave their lives
while serving their country in the
Philippines.
Il regret my inability to attend, as
nothing could give me more peasure
than to respond in person to the invi-
tation. give testimony to the valor and
soldierly qualities of those men, and
to express in some measure the debt
of gratitude which the country owes
them for their services. Although
unable to be present on the occasion,
permit me to send greetings to their
comrades and friends and my assur-
ances of the high appreciation which
l entertain of the value of the work
accomplished by the First North Da-
kota regiment, of the patriotism which
inspired it, and the individual sacri-
fees rendered by it's members to sus-
tain the honor and integrity of their
national government.
General Charles King wrote:
II beg leave to express to you and
through you to the citizens committee
OF Walsh county, and the city of Graf
ton, for the invitation to attend the
dedication OF the monument to the i
memory of the members of Company
c, First North Dakota Vol. Inf, and /
deeply regret my inability to attend.
There are men, not even residents +
lxoreh Dakota, in whose hearts the
memory of that particular regiment
will need no monument. It is right
and good that citizens should so honor
them. We who knew and served
with them in the stirring days in front
Of Manila can not, if we would, forget
them. Y
The following letter was received
from Col. ]. w. Pope, formerly sta.
TONED in this city. afterward chief
