taken, and $4,000 in cash.

Winter is almost here and the
coal strike apparently as far from
settlement as ever. Hard coal is
worth almost its weight in gold
and intense suffering among the
poor of large cities must result,
even should the strike be settled
at once, as prices for all kinds of
fuel will be high. The residents
of western North Dakota are es-
.pecially favored in having good
quality Of soft coal and plenty Of
it at their very door, Dickinson

There are Contests Galore.

We have at this time in the
Minot land district contests by the
hundreds. There was a time when
a contest Oh a homestead meant a
funeral the same week, but people
look on the matter very lightly,
1t is not hard to WIN when one de-
finds a contest. One clerk at the
land office does nothing but file the
dockets for contests. In the
Minot land office perhaps so per
cent. Of those who contest claims
win, but they do this only because
the contestee fails to appear.
When the contestee appears he
loses but 10 per cent Of the cases,
and then because it is proven that
he has been grossly negligent.
Uncle Sam is with the homestead

An unknown writer says that
there are a class of men who sell
dom, if ever, appreciate their, true
value. In this enlightened age
they are commonly called "Dad.''
It is dad that bumps himself year
in and year out; on the farm, in
the office, store or work shop, in
order that his boy or girl may go
off to school, and upon their return
the boy may have fine horse and
top buggy and the girl a piano.
1t is dad that hustles and cult
Yates big calloused knots on his
hands and becomes stoop should
cred iii order that his. offspring
may revel in luxury and make
tarnal fools Of themselves. But,
as is frequently the case, how mis-
erably is he rewarded for his kind
ness! His sons and daughters
have learned at his expense to-
despise his old fashioned ways.
They secretly laugh at the style Of
his Sunday coat and old fashioned
hat. On Sunday when his daugh-
ter has company he would like to
sit in the parlor and listen to the
music, but is given to understand
in various ways that his presence
is not desired and the poor man
goes into the kitchen and stays
the remainder Of the afternoon.

The season Of the year is coming
which is marked by its number Of
prairie fires. During the past year
large quantities of hay and other
property has been consumed and
with the heavy vegetation on the
wild land this year the danger from
the fire demon is greater. than in
most years. Too much care can
not be taken in the matter of start
ing fires. A spark often does it
and let's loose food of fame
which will do thousands of dollars
worth of damage, and again, the
care Of having all stacks and build
ings protected by a good fire brake
is the best investment that can be
made, One stack Of hay protected
is worth two with no protection.

HARDIN WILL FIGHT ALBRooK.
Tax Ferret Row Will Divide Eldora
Mans Home County Against Him.

Late this afternoon Il prominent fe-
publican editor of Hardin county sent q
telegram to the Times Republican,
which indicates III n measure that the
tax ferret row that 50 seriously dis
turbed Hardin county last winter is go
ing to handicap the Eldora man in his
candidacy for the Hampton nomination.
Our editors telegram says:
any one as all conNersant with the
facts knows that there is going to be q
fight in the Third congressional district
this fall and it hehooves the conven-
ton at Hampton to be mighty careful
regarding the selection of nominee.
The man selected must be somewhat
acceptable to most republicans. Boies
will get a heavy vote in BlackhaWk
county. Dubuque will be sore. 1t is
time to be careful with the rest of the
district. A few people in Hardin coun-
ty are pushing the candidacy of c. u.
Albrook, of Eldora. The conditions are
such in Hardin county that Albrook
would lose the county at the November
election by ], 500 to 1000 votes. AT least
three and possibly four republican pa
pers in this county would fight him
from the moment he Is nominated. Al
brook was the most censured of the re-
cent tax ferret hooters OF Hardin coun-
tvs treasury. This scandal caused the
defeat OF one of Albrook's associates
for county supervisor and the election
of a democrat by big majority in a
county easily 1000 republican. Albrook
still has number of thousand dollars
of Hardin county's money. which Judge
KENYON decided had been Illegally TAX
en- The voters of this county want to
know when he will pay 1t back. Al
brook voted to turn Governor Cummins
down as national committeeman, he
fought any expression on tariff revision
at the recent state convention and has
an endless number Of minor troubles
to account for if nominated. Can such
a man be elected against Horace Boies?
