337.-ANAGRAM.

o happy vale. now lost! Sweet roses wild
His every thorn, and through a shinig veil
The dark lake, where the silvery lilies
smiled,
Reflected heavens lamps, serene and pale.
Liquid the sky, and every bloom of earth,
Chalice or tuft, heart, shield or bell,
Grew in that realm of innocence and mirth.
One thought, one act; the vale became a
hell.
First, innocence departed; mirth fed fast;
The flowers to ashes turned. The gloomy
lake
Swallowed its lilies up. Hope stood aghast,
Betrayed; and winter reigned with ice and
flake.
o LAST DESPAIR of noble souls that fail!
Gope took reluctant flight. Alone re-
manned
Remorse, too sad, too humble even TO wall,
Pray, stranger, can that lost bliss be re-
gained? ARCANUS.

FINE EXHIBIT.

An exhibition Of drawing, work by
the scholars of the Devils Lake schools
was given in the Assembly room Sat-
urday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock.
The affair was conducted in a man
ner rejecting great credit to those in
charge. Artistically arranged around
the large room the work Of the scholars
in each grade. was Hastily dis
played and it was creditable alike
to the scholars and their capable in
structor, Miss Willard, who is being
highly commended for the excellent
work she has accomplished in this
department. Those who attended the
exhibition Saturday were well repaid
for the time expended, and it is to be
hoped the practice will be continued,
as it would have a strong tendency to
interest parents and scholars alike in
school work. AS a rule parents pay
too little attention to school work, and
any innovation that awakens an inter.
est in this particular should be en-.
%couraged. The progress made in all
departments of the Devils Lake schools
during the past year has been very
gratifying, and the teachers and sup.
e~rintendent are to be congratulated or
the splendid record attained.

tives for the Twenty-frst Legislative
District; for the purpose of selecting
twenty-three delegates to the Republi-
can State Convention at Fargo, July
23rd to nominate state officers.
The basis of representation in the
county convention will be one delegate
for each twenty-five votes or major
fraction thereof cast for the Republi-
a nominee for governor at the No
vember election in 1900, and in addi-
tion thereto, one delegate for each
organized precinct as such. The

representation as follows:

DEFYING THE CONSTITU
TON.

The constitution of the state of
North Dakota contains the following
important provision:
"Sec. 119. No judge of the supreme
or district courts shall be ell
ected O. appointed to any other
judicial offices or be than thereto
during the term for which he
was elected or appointed such judge.
All votes Or appointments for either of
them for any elective or appointive
Office except that of judge of the SUI
preme court or district court, given by
the legislative assembly or the people
shall be void"
Under this constitutional provision
every vote cast for Mr.. Cowan sis
void" whether directly or Indirectly
given. This puts MI Cowan in the
attitude of asking his friends to COM
nit an illegal act. The people them
selves should teach this political judge
a lesson in constitutional law. They
should not permit him to disgrace the
judiciary in this way.

The two Dakotas are having a boom
of the healthiest kind. North Dakota s
population increased rs per cent in the
last ten years. Last year $50, 600 i'm
migrants found homes there, and this
year it is estimated 200, 900 nor will
go there. The productiveness of the
;soil is a great attraction for the farm
'ers. The Dakotas are not only the
great wheat fields of the world but
they r suitable for diversified farm
ing. The corn crop is larger than the
crop of the entire United States has
been in recent years, and will be more
than half the country's crop this sea-
son. North Dakota has a grass area
of 40 million acres, and over. this
whole area the average rainfall is sew
enteen inches. The farmers of the
Dakotas have paid off their mortgages
and are accommodating money. AS q
rule two seasons will clear off in.

penses and the purchase price. This

THE COUNTY

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
Devils Lake Free Press.
The republican county conven-
ton to be held June 9TH will select
a SET of delegates to the state
convention and nominate three
candidates for the legislature. 1t
is inconceivable to think pt a
situation under which there should
be any doubt as to what the con-
vention should do. This county
is the home of Senator Hans
brough who has served the state
with honor and distinction. No
sane man believes chat it would
be good policy for the party or
decent treatment of the senator
personally for the convention to
lndorse the action of a few local
schemers in their attempt to turn
the senator down in the interest
of some entirely unknown person
residing in another part of, the
state. Such politics is the acme
of reckless absurdity. Two years
ago Judge Morgan had the united
support of the republicans of
this county and this judicial dis
trict. The same was true IS re-
spects the candidacy OF Judge
Cowan for the district bench.
They have been no more faithful
to their trust than has Senator
Hansbrough to the trust SO wisely
reposed in him. The machina-
tons of some of Judge Cowan's
friends who assert that he is a
candidate for the senate are by
no means creditable to them OF to
Judge Cowan, if he is a party to
them.
The republicans OF Ramsey
county should not allow a little
coterie of disappointed office
seekers to put the party in such
a position before the state and
county.

The people of Ramsey county have
this week witnessed the humiliating
spectacle of a district judge besmirch-
ing the ermine Of the bench by wal
lowing in the mire of ward politics.
The judiciary is supposed to be strictly
bipartisan, and the trainers of our
constitution were careful to surround
the position with such restrictions that
men of high integrity and honor
would be bound to respect. In his
lvaulting ambition to "do" Senator
Hansbrough, Judge Cowan is now
riding day and night throughout the
county, begging and imploring some,
threatening and coercing others, to
lend their aid in the attempt to take
from Ramsey county the United States
senatorship. Cowan is not even a
possibility in the senatorial fight, yet
he would create the impression that
he is a candidate, for the purpose of
aleniating support from Senator Hans
brough. The greatest mistake he is
making is in his presumption that the
people Of this county are such fools
that they cannot see through his game.

Prices paid for fat cattle in the
large markets reached the high point
of this season last week. Live stock
statesmen and other disinterested part
les who are in a position to know, say
that the packers are losing 81 per
hundred weight on fat cattle, buying
at present prices. Retail dealers adj
NIT that the packers must be losing
money, but some Of them think that
they cannot afford to put up prices
much higher owing to the present
state of public sentiment against them.
Cattlemen claim that packers are not
getting enough for their dressed beef
proportionate to the cost price. They
are awaiting another advance in prices
anxiously, and say that unless it comes
prices for fat cattle cannot advance.
