The May number of the North
west Magazine comes to US in a
different style. 1t is now printed
and bound the same as other liter
ary periodicals and is much more
handy to handle. The magazine
will not be changed any in policy
and it's field will still be devote d
to the great west, and, as in the
past, it's pages will reflect life n
the prairies, OH the mountains
and in the mines-depicting in
word and picture the most inter.
esting features that have caused
the eyes of the east to gaze long
ingly at the broad western
domains. The Northwest Maga'
zine in its new dress and style is
very handsome and is a magazine
that should be very popular
with the western people,

Ex-Mayor Ames, of Minneapo-
lis, has been convicted for accept
ing bribe money from fallen
women o; Minneapolis during his
term as mayor Of that city. The
Judge can impose a sentence of
from one cent to ten thor sand
dollars or ten years in the peni-
tentiary or less or both. Consid-
ering the fact that other officers
convicted for DO ,lling under his
administration got rather heavy
sentences it would seem as if the
head of the gang would get a stiff
sentence. His age and health
may help him get aIightsen,ence.
The work of cleaning out the gang
of tough boodlers of Minneapolis
should have a good effect on those
who follow, and put a stop to
such corrupt practices.

New Management.

We understand that the First State
Bank of Binford, passed into the hands
of new management, on the 25th Of
April. The new officers are, Z. c.
Kittel, Pres, Casselton; Hon. r. NJ.
Pollock, Vice-Pres., Fargo; d. w.
Thomas, Cashier, Minneapolis, and A.
G. Bonhus, Asst. Cash'r, Binford.
From our knowledge of the new pro-
prietors, we would say that they will
be valuable acquisition to the insti
tuition. They are all successful busi-
ness men, and having business inter
ests here, will do all in their power to
make Binford a prosperous little city.
With such financial backing as Kit
tel, Pollock and Thomas, the bank will
be able to supply your wants. The in
stitution will, in short time be sup
piled with more help, and will thus be
enabled to better take care of your
needs. If you want a farm loan, they
have the money: if you want to sci
your farm, they can sell it for you; If
you want to buy farm, they will help
you to get what you want: in short, If
you want anything at all, tell your
troubles to the First State Bank, they
will help you.-Tlmes.

A Chronicle special from Bos-
ton says: A coterie of big Boston
and New York financiers, includ-
J. P. Morgan end J. ]. Hill, but
not including Mr.. Hartman, are
looking around for a candidate to
beat Roosevelt because of his
antitrust ideas.
"A careful canvass has just been
completed for them, which shows
that Bryan may not be able to
dictate the next democratic nomi-
nation, and the com bination has
decided to finance the Cleveland
boom. Judge Parker, it is said,
has been used merely as a ''chair-
warmer" for Cleveland. The
latter is to be pushed steadily
from now on, if the financial iu-
terests confirm the news they
have jnst received from IL high
democratic source that the next
democratic platform will not be
based on silver. So far Cleve-
lands s direct assent has not been
squarely asked. 1t has been
rather taken for granted. Their
aim is anything to beat Roose-
velt."
President Roosevelt will un-
doubtedly have the combined in
fluence of the Wall street oper-
ators and trust magnates against
him and even if he should win the
nomination these same interests
would spend millions of dollars
to accomplish his defeat at the
polls. Mr.. Roosevelt hasa mind
of his own and will not cater to
the monied interests or to the
professional politicians, therefore
it has been decreed that he must
be downed. If Cleveland is nomi-
Lated we cannot see how the peo-
pie can vote him into the Office
again. His record the last term
certainly cannot have faded out
of the minds of the people. With
a record of making millions for
himself in four years and leaving
a legacy Of 1882, 100000 of bonds
for the people to carry should
notinspire much enthusias 10 from
the masses-but then the people
are tickle and may want change,
with it's free soup houses, Coxey S
army, no employmen more
bonds and 3Oc wheat. Let the
motto of the democratic party in
the next campaign be: "Grover
and Wall street, four more years
of Groyet, down with REQ sevelt,
and the r oIle's frierd.

This from a Ramsey county
paper, the Edmore Herald, will
furnish food fC, reflection to that
portion of the state press, at least,
that has made a practice of an
nually donating many columns of
valuable space to aid in booming
the Devils Lake Chantauqua:
''There is 10 institution in the
state that has been given more
free advertising than the Devils
Lake Chautauqua. That institu-
ton is owned and controlled by
stockholders who are init simply
for the coin. Now that the insti-
tuition is on paying basis, and is
making big money each year for
the owners, we believe that they
should pay the newspapers some
thing for their work, and we are
Of the opinion that every, news
paper in the state should refuse
to give it any more free advertis-
ing. If it were state institution
we would feel differently towards
it, but as we said before, it is a
private institution and is run for
the money there is in it,"
Let's cut it out, boys.

With hundreds of miles of new
railroad being built in various
parts of the state, new settlers
coming in by the thousands, there
is no section of thisgrand country
of urs that is developing as rap
idly as North Dakota. It is only
a question of a few years until
all the free homestead land will
be gone. The rush of settlers
into Canada is Offset several times
over by the new settlers from the
eastern states that are pouring
int, the state by the train loads.
Nhe first issue of the Binford
Times lies on our desk with an

with the request and the Courier

at that Office. The Times is a
very creditable paper and starts
out with substantialsupportfrom
the business men Of that place.
That it will be a great help to
Binford there can be no ques-
tion. Politically it is with tire
majority republican, but says
that it will be non-partizan in
county affairs. The Courier cer-
t'.lnly wishes the new paper and
it's editor, Theo K. Curry a sue
cessful career.

more sidewalks. From this dis
tance it would seem as if q place
like Darlington with full city
government, electric lights, tele-
neexchange ETC., ougntto have
pride enough to build a few side
walks. Send your back number
aldermen over to Cooperstown,
boys, and let them see a town
that has miles of sidewalk
town whose board does not hesi.
tate to order a walk where it is
necessary and then sees that it
is built after it is ordered. Gin
ger up there, you Darlington al
dermen or else resign and import

The gas and electric light pro
position has finally been decided
and we sincerely hope this will
end the matter for some time to
come. The meeting held last
Saturday night to vote on the
proposition as to whether the
town should granta gas franchise
10 G. j. Lucken & Co, unani
mously voted not to grant the
franchise. This leaves a clear
field to the electric light company
which will now be given a chance
to make good. If this company
does not do the right thing it will
be very easy to grant another
franchise after giving a fair tria
to the electric light fellows. Sc
far as the Courier is concerned
we believe that the Northwestern
Electric Co., will not only put in
a first class plant but will do the
right thing by the town and citi-
zens No business will come in
here and put in the amount OF
capital to install a plant of this
character with any other idea
than to do what is right.

me how this remedy had cured her little

posed slip to the grocer, who pro-
posed to fill it. The first scoopful
went plump through it to floor.
When he raised it up to see what
was the matter, and displayed two
outlets at the bottom heavily firing

word. The grocer laid the article
away to wait her return, but up to
date she not appeared in the vicin-

He Saved the Baby,

Logan Huffman of Lewiston, ILL.,, writes:
About the middle of March, 1901, my little
girl about years old was suffering from a
bad cold. One day she grew worse and a
severe attack of Group followed. Various
remedies were used but failed to relive her
and believe she would have died had
not been able to secure bottle of Harris
Honey and Horehound. few doses OF that
medicine saved her life. 1t is a most won
derful remedy for Group The first symp-
tom of Group is hoarseness, which is soon
followed by singular rough cough, easily
recognized by anyone who has ever heard
it. The time to act is when the child first
becomes hoarse and ii Harris Honey and
Horehound is freely given, a cure is GER
tain. There is no danger in giving large
doses of this medicine as it contains nothing
injurious. Sold by JOS. Bennett.

"A Joplin, Mo-, paper says that
woman preacher at that place
recently stopped in the middle of
discourse and, picking up bible,
said she was going to throw it at a
man who was unfaithful to his wife.
AS she swung her arm forward every
man in the church but one ducked
under The seat. After giving the
man who stood the test without
finching a good puff, as the paper
calls it, the preacher learned that he
was a deaf mute. The revelation
was little discouraging until the
dodgers explained that they had
seen a woman throw stone at a
hen and knew mighty well she
would not hit the fellow she was
throwing at, and lodged as a mat

majority of the business will go to
the man who does the most to de-
serve it and who is best fitted for
handling what comes. Stock buy
ing is the first step to good business,
but telling about stock and why it
was bought will do much to help the
volume of business. Side remarks
about advantages in buying and ex
cellence of values obtained will be
appreciated by the ones who need
the goods and who can be interested
