AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.

In his farewell message to the
legislature on Tuesday, in conclu-
sion, Governor Lind made the fol-
low ing extraordinary statement:
"ln view of the fact that in the last
three gubernatorial electionsin this
state, certificates of election have
been issued in two instances to
candidates who only received a
minority of the votes cast and that
the integrity of the result as de-
clared has been questioned by a
large body of our people, feel IT
my duty to call your attention to
the fact that our statutes provide
no method for reviewing the cleo
ton returns for a state office or the
result declared. If a candidate for
q state office is deprived of his elec-
ton certificate by fraud or error,
he is entitled to speedy remedy"
With the concluding proposition no
one will take issue. 1t is too evil
dent for argument. But for Mr.. Lind
to openly declare that he has twice
been counted out of the office of
governor, after being legally elected,
is a startling assertion, rejecting
seriously upon the integrity not
only of the republican party, but
of the state itself. Furthermore it
is simply prepOSterOuS-and untrue.
Governor Van SAINT, who was sitting
beside him awaiting to deliyer his
inaugural at the conclusion of Mr..
Lind's message, in reply took &C.
casion to say thai he was surprised
at the charge; and if it could be
substantiated, that he, Governor
Van SAINT, would at once vacate the
office. He had no disposition nor
desire to hold an office to which he
was not legally elected.

Death of Mrs. ThoS. TAFT.


Indirect advices have been received
in this city that Mrs. Thomas TAFT,
mother of Samuel, William, Ezra, and
Lizzie, who removed with the two last
named to California four or five years
ago, had died there last week. For
more than twenty years she was res
ident either in this city, or near it
her home being for a long time on the
so-called ''Tait place." north of the
city, and during that time she enjoyed
the friendship and esteem of large
circle of friends. She was an estim.
able woman-a mother in Israel, in.
deed. Bright and cheerful ever, al.
though at times she was sorely atfiict
ed. Her beautiful faith, and quiet
unassuming devotion to duty in its
every phase made this weak little
body strong character indeed. Nc
mother was ever more devoted to hel
children-and they in turn were de-
voted to her. 1t may seem that she
filled no great place in this world
but her departure has left vast void

sage is long one-too long to be
produced in the HERALD, and is
full of judicious recommendations
His advocacy of commission to
revise the tax laws of the state. is
perhaps its strongest feature
His recommendation for Legislation
to secure good roads demands care
full consideration. He advocates a
board o: control for the asylums
prisons and hospitals-in the inter
est of more efficient and economi,
cal administration. This, too, will
meet with universal favor. The
message is a good one.

than .expend funds in a permanent line

chosen. The cutoff at Curlew is one of

tatoes yielded 100 bushels to the acre,
and another kind 200, this being due to
the variety. Mr.. Dennis concludes:
"The summer fallow and humus Of de-
caying manure used on the land held
the moisture. The early dragging served
the same purpose. The early planting
gave the vigorous grower time to get
long roots before the drought. The
large pieces furnished the young plants
with little cisterns to draw from-pota-
toes being two-thirds water. By the
method of planting used, the young
plants neither had to struggle up to sun
light and air from hard, deep bed, ner
were they dried out from being too near
the surface. And lastly to cultivate
when the soil is SO dry on top seems
waste of time and energy, but it is said
to bring up moisture from below"

REMARKABLE STORY.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 23.-The mystery
surrounding the death of Capt. Oliver
Dotson, one of the men who laid out
Denver, and a former character in the
Black Hills, whose body was found in a
cabin, promises to develop one of the
remarkable stories of crime. The Off
GERS report finding the alleged confession
signed by Dotson, which declares his son
Clinton ..Dotson, his grandson Oliver
Bensen, and Ellis Persinger, the latter a
youth from Missouri, innocent of the
murder of Eugene Cullinane, which oc-
Cured in August, 1889, far which young
Dotson is serving SO year term and the
other two ten-year terms in the peniten-
ftiary; DoSson in his confession states
that doubt cannot exist, and that he
made the confession in the hope of free
ing innocent men. The officers consider
the confession forgery. Warden Penite
learned that the convict released in De.
cember had declared that he would kill
Dotson and would leave both confessions
for the parpose of exonerating the three
men. 1t is claimed that Clinton Dot
son promised to divide $4,000 he is
claimed to have buried in Wyoming.

officers in considering the manner in
which they handled the fire last night.
The writer has witnessed many large

ter work by any company, and have
often seen inferior work by companies
thoroughly trained, whose whole time
was given to the, fire departments in tho
large cities. The position of d fireman
when on duty is one Of hazard and
danger, often calling for acts 81 heroism
which, if performed Oh The battlefield,
would call forth the admiration OF all
patriotic citizens, and be rewarded by
honors conferred by the chief executive
Of the ,natior1, s.,...~
/. In this northern climate where the
thermometer reaches 20 to 30 degrees be-

More Of Lindelie.

The Valley City Times-Record says
Secretary, Lindelie Of the enforcement
league tried to work his graft in Barnes
county, and has this to say:
Investigation shows that the repre-
sentatives of the enforcement league
have been trying to do business in
Barnes county on the same plan as in
'Pembina county. The letter published
elsewhere, written by Bosard & Bosard
to States Attorney Burke of Pembina
county, explains their methods in the
northern part of the state. Here they
were not SO successful in getting money.
About a year ago, without consulting
States Attorney Winterer, the league,
through its agents, started two actions
against residents of this city, the title of
the cases being the state ex rel. Carlton
against Kate Schilling and G. F. Clark
and; 1.-The state ex rel. Carlton VS.. Albert
and Charles Ano and S. Thoreson. The
cases were never brought to play, and
the evidence is said to have been of a
very tlimsy nature. The matter drifted
along for some time, and finally Secre-
tary Lindelie showed up in the city one
day and approached Zuger & Paulson
whyhad been retained as attorneys for
the defendants, with an offer for settle
ment. Lindelie wanted the defendants
to pay the costs and expenses. in which
event he agreed to dismiss the cases
Zuger & Paulson refused to pay him
anything, and then Lindelie went to A.
II. Gray and Cashier Grady, who owned
one Of the buildings, and asked them fo,
naonay tThav a1Sn raf,1cn9 Tn ha hi or
mailed, and finding there was no chance
to get any money out of the deal. Linde

fees and other costs in the case amounted
to quite a. sum and the county had tt
pay them. Senator LaMoure's bill i:
intended to stop such practices.
