Tells OF His Bravery Christmas Day
and Don't Mind Peoples Estimate
of His TruthfuIness.

Editor Alert-I noticed in two OF
the dailies Of the Twin Cities that
correspondent from jamestown had
attempted to gather some news of an
analr that transpired in jamestown
on Christmas night. That de-
mands not only correction but a
revision. Now if that man is no
straighter in business than in report
ing he would never do to be at the
head OF either of our banking institu-
tlons OF jamestown. And il placed on
TRIAL Tor any crime known in our
statute, his face alone would be suffI-
cent for a conviction. The people OF
jamestown have formed an estimate
OF my truth and veracity years ago,
and we would not alter it if we could.
Therefore we make bold to state some
facts in regard to King Alcohol try
ing to celebrate Christmas IA right
claimed bysome of our city attorneys
but which we deny.) Had our per-
son been assailed we should have
sought some back street or blind alley
and went home in haste. But when
our property was assailed, entered il
as bravely as Hannibal's attack on
the Alps mountains inItaly, and with
no more fear. l supposed that our
police force was equal to the emer-
gency and that the only thing for me
to DO was to view the battle from
afar. But you might as well have
tried to quench Vesuvius with a bot
tie OF Buckley & Niemeyer's pop.
And before had time to think of
home, wife or family, was in the
midst OF the great destroying enemy
OF mankind, King Alcohol and while
our officer was vainly struggling on
the sidewalk, l was calmly looking on
and wondering how the battle would
end. 1t was not true as that reporter
said that was knocked out, but was
in at the beginning and was there at
the killing, and have been informed
by my friends that exhibited just as
much nerve as Bill Goodrich or Ed.
Rose, for / carried the prisoners coat.
This has always been my motto:
"He that fights and runs away,
Lives to fight another day."
After the battle had been success
fully fought and won, took an inven-
tory OF what we had on hand, two
prisoners safely lodged in warm
room lighted and heated by the city
fathers containing at least two quarts
OF blind-pig whiskey or licensed drug
store champagne. On the side of law
and order one mans scalp loosened,
another walking on one foot, another
minus coat collar, and your humble
correspondent ready to shout victory,
safe and sound but nerves badly shat
tered. After the smoke OF battle had
rolled away and peace and quiet
reigned supreme, and King Alcohol
had evaporated, l discovered that the
leading actor of the drama was gen.
tleman when himself. They paid the
city for the violation of one OF it's
most sacred ordinances, and urged
your correspondent to be remunerated
for his loss. But the only thing he
exacted was a promise to discontinue
the use Of blind-pig whisky or licensed
drug store champagne.

called merger, the calling Of an extra
session and appeal to the courts and q
mere conference to ascertain the
facts In the matter, whether any state
laws are being violated by the change
Of ownership of the stock in these
companies, and whether any radical
action or agitation calculated to en-
gender open hostility to the railroads
of the northwest at this time, when
SO much is desired Of the railroad
companies in the way Of extensions Is
advisable. The sober, second consid-
Grafton OF this railroad proposition in
the light Of information secured not
from individuals actuated by pre-
judice or political bias, but from the
judgment of broad minded men OF
affairs in business and financial circles
is In favor of a more conservative
course. So far as the people OF North
Dakota are concerned, there has been
no demand on the governor from any
source to mix in this matter. On the
other Lhand, millers, shippers and
other North Dakota interests that
have been affected in the past by unr
just discrimination in favor OF the
twin cities see in the outcome OF the
railroad merger nothing to fear at
this time and the governor has been
.importuned not to involve the state in
a railroad war that might result in
disaster to the present, unprecedented
prosperous conditions Of our people.
Governor Van SAINT has mapped out
a course Of action for Minnesota, 1t
Is reported that he will call an extra
session Of the legislature and favor
other radical measures against the
railroads. North Dakota does not de-
sire radical action and the presence OF
Governor White at the Helena con-
ference which has been heralded all
over the country as hostile demon
stration on the part Of our people
would be misrepresented and miscon-
strued. The people Of North Dakota
are not SO much alarmed over the
proposition as to be blinded to the
fact that regardless Of ownership. SO
far as rates and general regulation OF
railroads are concerned, they will part
with none Of the power at present
possessed. Whenever the railroads
oppress our people we will find a rem
edy. Thus far we have not been in
jured by the so-called merger and it
is best to await developments"

Washington, Dec. 9.-The state de-

from United States Minister Bowen,
at Caracas, saying that the president
of Venezuela has published a letter
in the newspapers there saying that
foreign creditors must await the re.
establishment Of peace; then all prom.
ises will be fulfilled. According TO
President Castros statements, the
revolutionary movement in Venezuela
has been crushed in the west and only
few towns in the Orient are still in
the possession of the rebels. 1t was
estimated that these would fall into

LEGISLATION FOR THE MINERS.
Believed That tlen VIII Get All They
Ask for and Tat Coal Roads
VIII BE Disciplined.

Philadelphia, Dec. Sit is stated
upon authority of Republican leaders
that there will be considerable legis-
lation in the interest of the anthracite
miners enacted at the coming session
Those who are able to anticipate such
events say that the miners will get
everything in reason they may ask
for.
Conferences between state leaders
have been held frequently Of late and
a general outline Of what is to be done
has been agreed upon. The company
store act Of last session does not, the
miners say, give the relief asked, and
this law is to be whipped into desired
form and re-enacted. Another bin
governing the weighing of coal at the
mines, in accordance with the plea
made by the miners, is also under
favorable consideration, and there are
still others which will be Endorsed and
become laws.
With coal selling as high rs So per
ton in Philadelphia and almost unob
tainable at this price; with a hard
coal famine in Washington, New York
and other cities, popular sentiment, it
Is believed. will welcome legislation
ef remedial character. Members-elect
Ct beth senate and house from the an
taraeite districts are confident that
they will get all the legislation they
are entitled to. They claim that the
solid delegation from Philadelphia
will support the proposed bills and
there appears to be good grounds for
this confidence. The disposition to
discipline the coal carrying roads, par
ticularly the Reading and Lehigh Val
ley, is not localized. Senators and
members-elect from all parts of the
state have expressed willingness to
join in some action which will disil
fusion those who have accepted the
idea that they are trustees of Provi-
dence."
