Band Concert.


Noevent in Kinsiey has been looked
forward to with as much interest as
the concert given by the Kinsley band
last Friday evening at Flohr's opera
house.
The audience packed the hall and
every number was most enthusiastic-
ly encored. The band simply took the
people by storm. The fact that they
have been organized so short time
led people to believe that they were
probably playing very simple music.
They played excellent selections with
fine expression and good time.
1t Is a splendid thing for Kinsley to
have a large band, and we believe ev-
cry man, woman ard child in the city
fully appreciates the fact. The band
was organized about two and a half
months ago under the leadership of
w. I. Burnsides and consists of the
following members:
DR.. G.. Nj. Mosher. solo B. Flat
Cornet.
Owen Young, Solo B Flat cornet.
Will Bishop. First B Flat Cornet.
Harry Schnatterly. Second B Flat
cOrnet.
w. I. Burnsides, E. Flat Clarion
ct.
H. Draught, First B. Flat Clar-
iOnet.
w. I. Fravel, Second B. Flat Clar-
ionet.
Corliss Schnatterly, Baritone.
Frank Lippoldt, Solo Alto.
Frank Ketelson, First Alto
Elmer Richardson, Second Alto.
Herman Wilson. First Tenor.
Fred Andrews, First Tenor.
Ed Sears SecOnd Tenor
Sherman Misner, Second Tenor.
Charles Alexander, e Flat Baso.
John Husser, E. Flat Baso.
FRANK Bishop, Bass Drum.
Hugh Nelson, Snare Drum.
A band consisting of nineteen men,
bers is an unusually strong one for a
town of Klnsley's size.
The boys bought their own instru-
ments and as they are expensive ones
they are well equipped. The leader,
Mr.. Burnsides. is an all around mu-
sician, and Kinsley is fortunate to
number him among her citizens. The
man who brings music into com
munity in any form contributes a
great thing to the moral welfare, as
well as to the things that make life
pleasant. When the opportunity pre-

Bank Examiner Wallace.

State Bank Examiner r. E. Wallace
returned from Bismarck Saturday and
is receiving the congratulations Of his
friends here on his appointment and
confirmation by the senate. Mr.. Wal
lace has made a thorough and compe-
tent official and has many friends
throughout the state who will be
pleased to know that he will have
charge of the office for the ensuing
two years. The legislature left the
force of the examiners Office as it has
been during the last two years, to con-
SiSt of the examiner, assistant exam
iner and clerk, and in addit tiOn a bill
was passed authorizing the governor
to appoint special examiner in case
of need for such, which said special
examiner shall draw pay at the rate
of SO per day for time actually en-
plOyed in his work.

His Legislative Experience.

NJ. ID. Williams: 1t is true that I
and that l attempted to do little but
vote as | deemed my constituents
wanted on all measures. | had what
| deemed good authority for believing
that the republican majority would
not allow any measures Of mine to
pass, and that the word had gone out
that as senator. | was not to be ac-
corded the usual privileges of a repre-
sentative Of this county, therefore l
did not put myself in a position to be
turned down. There were but five
democrats in the senate and they had
little to say. / voted against the bills
[ deemed eXtravagant such as the
extra clerk hire in the treasurer
office, the pportionment bill, the in
crease in the salaries of state officers
etc. Personally my relations with all
the members were of the pleasanteSt.
There were many well meaning men
in both branches but there never was
a legislature as eNtravagant since
statehood. | attribute it largely to
the unwieldly party majority. The
appropriations for the educational in
stitutions were greater than ever be-
fore. A number of members express
ed the wish that the next legislature
contain more democrats to act as a
balance wheel and give support to
those of the majority party who want
ed to see different course taken in
many legislature matters.

On the War Path.

a Bismarck correspondent writes:
Attorney General Comstock is bent on
making a record in the matter of en-
forcing the prohibition law, having
yesterday expressed determination
to close up every blind pig in the state
that he knows to exist. All of the
saloons in Bismarck except one, which
has back door entrance, are closed
up tight and from present indications
they will not be opened for some time.
In Mandan they are still running wide
open in defiance of all laws, but from
what can be learned raid will be
made in the near future. At Dckin-
son the saloons and gambling houses
are also wide open. General Comstock
told me last evening that he is now
directing his efforts to closing up the
pigs at Darlington, where they have
been run in a disgraceful manner for
some time. Mr.. Comstock says that
arrests will be made this week and
the cases prosecuted to the limit.
1t is said that Capt. :Moffett is going
to retire from the newspaper business
here and is already negotiating for the
sale of his plant. Mr.. Moffett has
never been impressed with Bismarck,
as he has never had much to do with
the politics of the slope, the element
opposing him having all of the ma
chinery in hand. The captain, how
ever, is likely to get an important ap-
pointment in the army and his many
friends throughout the state are max
ing every effort in his behalf. There
is some talk to the effect that Mayor
Patterson will buy the Settler and run
it as daily during the spring cam
paign.

TELEcRAMs OF SYMPATHY.
Universal Sorrow at the Approaching
End Of the Ex-Presdent.

Indianapolis, March 13.-Thousands
of kilograms, telephone calls and per-
sonal inquiries and expressions Ct
grief and sympathy poured in all day
at the Harrison home, while in the
street, before the newspapers and
telegraph offices, crowds watched
anxiously for the hourly bulletins
which told of the fight against death.
In these bulletins there was no
hope extended of recovery, and it was
apparent after 8 a. m. that General
Harrison was not expected by the
physicians to live more than a few
hours.
Doctors Jameson and Dorsey, the
nurses, Mr.. Tibbott, the generals
secretary, his lifelong friend and for
mer law partner, w. H. H. Miller,
and Mrs. Harrison were in the room
throughout the night. None of them
remained constantly at the bedside,
for they were so wearied by the
strain of the anxious hours since the
patients condition became critical.
that they were forced to seek little
rest during the night. However, one
of the physicians, one of the nurses
and one of the members of the
family were in constant attendance.

Land Sales in Prospect.

Minneapolis Journal: AS far as
actual sales 60, the yearIis new. The
market will not begin to reach real
activity for thirty Or sixty days, but
the many inquiries received and the
start already made point to a wonder
full year. Last Wednesday the North
ern Pacific sent out a two-section
train with fifteen cars loaded down
with land seekers. Many stop in
Minnesota, Others 60 to North and
South Dakota and,a small percentage
to the coast states. Iowa and Illinois
furnish the bulk. The sale of big
tracts by the Northern Pacific in
North Dakota gave this year a boom
start. H. A. Hunter OF the Hunter
Land Co, which has the disposition of
much of the Northern Pacific lands,
says that the transfers Of their office
during the past year will total over
], 100000 acres. This land is all in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. He ex-
poets to see the land market this year
show a big increase over the totals of
1900, and in fact, any year since the
northwest was settled. While much
of this land has been sold to specula-
tors in large tracts, they are placing
it on the market and the settlers and
smaller spectators are getting their
chance at it. \ year ago the North
ern Pacific lands in Stuusman County,
North Dakota, were put on the mar
ket at a very reasonable price, in lO,-
900 acre lots. There We're no takers.
This year the company has offers for
the whole tract owned by them in
that county at price 40 per cent.
better than their own figure Of year
ago. This is the first year that the
Northern Pacific has made real
effort to interest actual settlers in
their lands. The demand is 50 strong

Worst Storm Since 1869 Swept Over
Number of States Doing
Great Damage.
Chicago Property Damaged to Extent
Nearly Two Hundred Thous-
and Dollars.
Telegraph and Telephone Poles Blown
Down and Messages are
Greatly Delayed.

| Chicago, March 10.-Worst winter
storm Of the season struck Chicago
early today and during the late hours
there was property damaged through
out the city extent Of S175,OOO. Many
heavy plate glass windows were blown
in. Telegraph and telephone compa-
MES were the worst sufferers and it
will be sometime before order can be
restored. Thousands of poles were
blown down and Chicago was practi-
cally isolated from the west and north
west by telegraph and telephone last
night and all day today. The long
distance telephone service was Grip
pied badly and was OF little or no value
up to a late hour tonight, neither
Milwaukee nor Minneapolis could be
reached by long distance telephone.
The storm is believed to have been
the most severe in Wisconsin. Along
the short stretch of the Milwaukee in
southern Wisconsin 500 telegraph
poles are down. Reports from many
points in Indiana and Kentucky also
indicate heavy damage from the
storm. The Western Union and Pos
tai Telegraph companies suffered
severely by fallen poles. 1t was esti-
mated that there were no fewer than
5000 poles in the city thrown by the
fury of the winds and storm. Tele-
graph service as far west as Omaha
was stripped. All railroads suffered
damage to their tracks and switch
yards.
At the life saving station at the
mouth of the Chicago river it was con-
sidered the worst gale that has struck
Chicago harbor since 1869. The water,
lashed into fury came up to the life
saving station and flooded the floor for
the first time in twelve years. Most
OF the shipping was protected in win
ter quarters SO that the damage done
was Slight. For time Minneapolis
was almost shut off from cOmmunica-
! tiOn with the east. Western Union
messages were sent to Omaha. The
times began to receive the dispatches
that should have been in type hours
before they were received Then the
reports had to come over roundabout
way of Winnepeg.

parties to see if such an arrangement
can be made.
DIR. Kohrn was taken to the proposed
site OF the plant near the river, and
was well satisfied with it..
He stated to the committee an i'm
portant point in favor Of the location
OF a sugar making plant in this state,
ana that he had been urging on sugar
men the advantages we possessed here
for the industry. This is that the
campaign for the manufacture of beet
sugar in the southern and central
parts OF the country is from 60 to 80
days, while in this state it is from ITO
to l2O days. The longer time enables
a factory to turn out more sugar. In
warmer climate beets sprout sooner
than here, and after they have begun
to sprout their value for sugar pur-
poses is destroyed. In other respects
the conditions for making beet sugar
here are fine. There is no excess Of
moisture which interferes with the
sugar properties Of the beets. The
committee was greatly interested in
the information obtained, and will see
what can be done to further the pro-
ject.
