PrOhibitiOnists.

Hillsboro, n. D. Aug THE mass
meeting Of the prohibition party of
North: Dakota resulted in fourteen
delegates outside of Hillsboro being
present. After several conferences it
was decided to make two nominations
and leave the rest of the places va
can't to be filed by the executive COM
mittee.
The two places filled and the nomi-
nees were:
GOVERNOR. O. Siverson, Churchs
Ferry.
Lieutenant Governor-Chas. Fl
Mott, Lisbon.
The resolutions roasted the repub-
llcan party for its silence on the prohi-
bition question and the democrats for
their plank favoring resubmission.
The small attendance was discour-
aging to the advocates of prohibition.

SOME BARLEY InRESntD
Heavy Crop Of Barley, Requiring
Great Deal Of Binding Twine
Per Acre.

Barley harvest is general through.
out Stutsman county and theIIJames
river valley. Barley is fine crop and
the yield will be heavy. Mike Tuoy
reports that on 10 acres Of barley he
used 60 pounds Of binding twine. This
would indicate q remarkably heavy
growth Of grain.
Some threshing of barley has been
done to secure the cropSfor feed which
is scarce and high priced. The syield
has been excellent and is an indica.
tion of what may be expected from
the other grain.
Wheat harvest will not begin for a
week in Stutsman county. The
weather has been ideal and the grain
is filling nicely.
So far the farmers have been able to
secure help enough but it is believed
when harvest becomes general over
the state there will be quite a scar.

BRUTAL MURDER.
Aged German Found With His
Head Cut off at Dev-
lis Lake.
tragedy Shrouded in Mystery But
Motive Supposed to be
Robbery.
Murdered Man Supposed to Have
Had Several Hundred
Dollars.

Devils Lake, n. D., Aug. 5.-Nich
Nachtsheim, an old German, was
found dead in his house near the
roundhouse yesterday with a bullet
hole through his head and his head
cut off. He had not been seen for ten
days.
A horrible sight was presented
when the dead body was raised from
the cellar to the room The head was
severed from the shoulders and had a
| deep bullet hole in it's crown. AS the
body was in a bad state Of decomposi
tion, it is evident the crime was COM
mitted at least eight or ten days ago,
and the absence Of any blood stains
shows that the man was killed out
side and his body placed in the cellar.
The bullet was found in the head and
is Of 80 caliber.
The tragedy is shouded in mystery
and the only motive apparent is roE-
berry. Nachtsheim during the recent
Chautaqua session sold much beer and
must have had several hundred dollars
on his person when killed, but only Is
cents was found in his vest pocket.
this morning. He was employed in
the Great Northern coal shed and was
about 55 years old and came from st.
Paul many years ago. He was of a
quiet, unassuming and peaceful dis
position and not known to have had
any enemies.
There is absolutely no clue to iden-
tify his murderers, although the
officers are shadowing several suspic-
ious characters. The remains were
buried from the Catholic church OF

After the Wedding.

The Gage-Russell wedding party
left on Wednesday evenings train for
the east and many of the guests and
friends or the young people were at
the Train to see the departure and
SEND after them rain of rice and to
otherwise make it interesting. In
this case the Joke was on the jokers
who placarded, with large paper
hearts. the wrong trunk-t that of Mrs.
Gage, Sr who let them know about
it just as the train was leaving.
The wedding arrangements were
carried out in every detail. The
bride never looked as charming and
her matrons were not less SO.
The church decorations were elabor-
ate and the reception afterwards at
the house was q very enjoyable affair.
B. 5. Russell, grandfather Of the
bride, recollects thatlone of the grooms

magnificent solid silver carving set, a

system or local option by townships,
cities or villages, and we favor the
legislation and enactment of laws in
that direction.
Ever mindful of the duty of all Cit
liens to favor good government and
economy in taxation and protection OF
the sacred rights Of the people, we
present the foregoing principles and
platform to the people OF this state
and ask the voters, regardless OF all
former political Affiliations, to unite
with us in the election OF our ticket,
pledging orr candidates for the carry
ing out of these much needed reforms
in the government of this state.
The convention was called to order
Friday morning, r. FL. Shadrick was
chosen as Temporary chairman. He
made an eloquent address. He
thought the equitable taxation Of
corporations was an important ques-
tion to be decided upon. The speaker
paid his respects to Governor White,
whose course he referred to sarcastic
cally, and the executive was charged
with vacillation in the merger propo-
sition. He said that If Mr.. White
! was reelected the claim would be
made by eastern corporate interests
that North Dakota had endorsed the
moneyed power and was corporation
ridden in every respect.
The resubmission question came up
on a motion that the resubmission
plank be stricken from the platform.
The matter was discussed at great
length and with considerable fervor--
but when it came to a vote the motion
to strike the plank from the platform
was lost-25l to 12l.
The discussion brought out some
supporters Of resubmission who had
heretofore been classed as prohibi-
tionists-or acting with them.
The arguments in favor Of resub-
mission were based largely on the
claim that the effort to enforce the
law had been a failure. The claim
was also made by some of the adyo-
Gates OF resubmission that the people
should rule and if they wanted to
vote on the subject they should be
given an opportunity.
A number of the speakers declared
themselves in favor of the resubmis-
sion plank for the reason that at the
present time liquor was sold by drug
stores in immense quantities, and lit
tie revenue was derived therefrom. 1t
seemed to be only case where the
drug store menmade all the profit and
the state spent lot of money protect
lug them in chasing alleged yiolators.
The drug store men We're rabidly op-
posed to resubmission as it would
break up their money-making mOnop-
oily and they are the staunch allies Of
the prohibition party.
A resolution introduced by Captain
McGlnnis, deploring the demise of the
late William Mckinley and condemn
ing the power by which the same was
consummated, was adopted by the con-
ventiOn.

THE NEW LICENSE TAX ORDINANCE.

An ordinance passed by the city council at the last regular meeting provides schedule of license taxes various kinds of business conducted within the corporate limits of Nome. The ordinance will not go into effect before June l. In the mean time the various businesses will have the opportunity of benefting by the much lower tax schedules i'm posed by similar ordinance, now in force.
 The ordinance is designed to afford protection to what may be termed the legitimate business man, who has established business against that class of transient traders or itinerant dealers who every spring, upon the opening of navigation, come to Nome and proceed to do business for few weeks or months and then, with the proceeds and the usufruct, hies himself south, to return the next and repeat the experiment..
 The NUGGET has heretofore referred to this evil for such it is deemed. The permanent dealer who stays here the year through is the chief sufferer and we submit that he is entitled to degree of pro- lection. It is for this that the NUGGET has constantly agitated this question, and it is to be sincerely hoped that the new ordinance. to which reference has been made and which will be found in full in another part of this paper will give relief from the incursors of the predatory trader. We are free to confess that this sort of protecon" is dis tasteful in many respects, but it may be urged that the conditions that surround the business interests of this community by of our long winter isolation and our remoteness during the winter period from commercial ceners, seem to us to justify the course taken. What is absolutely right is not always ex- pedient. and submit that this is essentially a question of expediency. As for the 'license taxes imposed by the ordinance, we believe that some
 lines of business taxed excessively. It is a bad policy to attempt to enforce prohibitive tax but it is conceded that it is difficult to enforce "sdng scale" that will be perfectly equitable We only hope that the rev ordinance will meet the expectations of those who originated it and in whose interests it was passed.

AS TO THE KOYUKUk BOOM.

Notwithstanding the favorable reports that con. tinue to from the Koyukuk country, reiterate that so far authentic information can show there is nothing to warrant stampede to that section But there is little doubt that many people will 20 tc the koyukuk region this season filled with extrava gan hopes that sure 10 receive the blight of dis appointment It is noted in the news from the Koy. ukuk which has been published by the NUGGET dur. ing the winter and spring that very little of definite value is known concerning the gold deposits of that section That there is gold there is certain that the cost of extracting it from the ground is great is also known. Some quite large nuggets seem to have been found lately but that fact is not indicative of an ex. tensive gold-bearing belt.
 Some twenty or more people who had spent from one to three years in the Koyukuk country came down last fall and stopped in Nome en route to the outside. None of them so far as we know, was very sanguine the future of that country though most agreed that it was at least "wage proposition, J Further than this few with whom NUGGET repre- sentatves talked would declare themselves.
 We have written this article because of many questions that have been asked the NUGGET of late concerning the Koyukuk, and we have tried to be candid and fair We advise against stampede most emphatcally. and do not hesitate to say that in our opinion, almost universal disappointment will result from the "Koyukuk boom" On the other hand, we unhesitatngly recommend those who are in Nome and this section to stay here, pin their faith to it, work hard and intelligentIy, be economical and and success will be ultimately achieved.
