ever, the officers who awarded the

Ignorance OF Mr. Littaucr's interest
IN the matter. The facts appear
to be these; Littauer, as a member
OF the firm Of .l,ittauer Bros, man
utacturers OF gloves, enjoy the Gus
tom Of Lyon. When Lyon was a.
bout to bid fortbe contract Littauer
went to the War Department. and
used his influence to secure the
contract for Lyon. The latter
was the lowest bidder and the con.
tract WAS awarded to him. Lyon
b
then asked Littancr for u price on
the gloves uhd llttauer refused to
quote price than that bid by Lyon
but finally offered TO make the
gloves for the price named ard to
credit Lyons account with onc-half
OF ANY profit which might be made
in manufacturing the goods a. the
price stipulated. The profit which
lyon aud littaucr subsequently,
divided amounted to 3.F37 ,05,
which was divided evenly. There
is, however, United States statute
which forblds the sharing III any
contract awarded by the Govern.

which stipuIatoS that In the event
OF such contract having been award

to recover the sum paid ont. 1t is

The CIRCUS MONDAY.

Betore-CroWds Already Coming
for Circus Monday.

There is already signs of the COM
ing of the ,ircus, billed here for Mon
day, the 23rd.
At the hotels the registers are show.
ing unusually lengthy lists Of names
and the wagon yards are not without
their full contingent Of wagoners and
campers who are here thus early in
order to be in time.
And while these unmistakable signs
are in evidence the impscunious small

the people in advance of the attract

But along with the stir and intense
interest on the part Of those who are
bent upon but one thing and that OF
"seeing the show" there is a sprink-
ling of those who are in the city on
business, mott ceably among whom
are two country merchants who are
making extensive wholesale purchases
from the Fain Grocery Company,
Hawkins & Co., and each OF whom
left orders with Dozier for five dozen
bottles Of Bitter Apple Bitters, saying
that a demand has sprung up for it
in their neighborhood such as they
have never experienced for any other
remedy and that they just had to
have it.

Good For 60 Days Extension.

What They Really Think Of Us.

Ashley Republican: About 400 peo-
pie from the different towns on this
branch of the 500 Line took in last
Sundays excursion to Bismarck. Ac-
cording to the report of Agent Mccoy
81 tickets were sold alone to Ashley
people. The excursion train left Ash
ley shortly after 9 a. M, arriving at
the capitol city at 1 p. m.
After the excursionists had satisfied
their appetites at the different hotels
and restaurants, they took in the
sights of the city. Bismarck has
clean streets and many fine business
buildings and beautiful private dwell
lings surrounded by nice shade trees.
As the heat was extraordinarily op-
pressive sightseeing was of short dura-
ton with q majority of the excur-
s%ionists, who sought with eagerness
a shady place for protection from the
burning sun. 1t goes without saying
that under such climatic circumstan-
ces cooling refreshments were in great
demand. Poor lemonade and soda
water was sold at 5 and 10 cents a
glass at several places. but this did
not satisfy the many German visitors
who soon came to the conclusion that
they had struck a prohibition town.
Many of the visitors took in the
base ball game and paid so cents to
witness a poorly played game between
Bismarck and Dickinson. We are of
the opinion that our local ball players
could easily defeat either club.
Many visitors had planned to view
the different state institutions, the
big railroad bridge over the Missouri.
and the new Fort Lincoln, but on ac-
count of these places being a great
distance from Bismarck, the hack
drivers excessive demands. (who per-
haps thought the excursionists were
all m~illionaires), and also the oppres-
sive heat. the plan was abandoned.
Long before the time set for the
return trip most Of the visitors, tired
of running the streets, had gone to
the 500 depot. Shortly after Z O'Clock
p. m. the homeward bound train left
the. station. arriving in Ashley at
midnight.

Refuses to Resign.

Fargo Forum: Why does not City
Attorney Hildreth resign?
That has been a very common ques-

made public the heated controversy be-

or Sweet in council chambers Thurs
day afternoon.
During the progress of the aforesaid
controversy the same question sug-
gested itself to the mayor and he ask
ed:
"Mr. Hildreth, it seems to me you
are not in harmony with the present
administration. Why do you not re
sign?'
Resign h-l!" shouted the attor
ney.
81 will not resign for two reasons
First. because the people are will
me in this matter. If you and I wer'
to run for the same Office in the cit

times as many votes as you.
Second. I do not propose to Civ
up the fight at this juncture. I W..
