AN OPEN LETTER.
To the Voters of Lanntlon =

To the Voters OF Langdon =
Having received the nomination for
mayorship of this city at the citizens
mass meeting, held at the city hall last
evening. I feel that I owe it to the vot-
ing public toinform them as to my ideasl
I wish to publicly declare that I have
neither pledged myself nor made any
promises to any man or clique, and am
free to use my best judgment in adj
ministering tho municipal affairs. I
wear my own collar and am no mans
man. Certain improvements, although
very necessary are quite costly and in
the present condition of things, We
should retrench until we get on better
footing. I do not believe in being too
marrow gauged" in municipal affairs,
but claim that they should be admins
tered in a careful, painstaking manner
and the same judgment applied that is
used in making private undertakings a
success.
Sincerely Yours
PETER p, KoPR1yA,

SUCCESS IN DAIRYlNG.
D L. Not Achieved While Working L

, Is Not Achieved While Working In
the Dark, Says Maine Man.
w. S. Keene. successful dairyman
Of Palmyra, Me-, at the Maine Dairy
mems association told an interesting
story of his experience in trying to es-
tablish his business by the haphazard
methods SO commonly employed by
farmers. His experience will be of val
ue to the farmers of the western states
who are trying the dairy business or
who contemplate engaging in it. says
the Chicago Record Herald. Mr. keene
said:
II began nine years ago; bought six
I paid $50 apiece for them. worked
along and used scrub bulls and raised a
few calves for three years, but did
not get ahead any for the reason that
had no means of knowing what my
cows were doing. mean by this that
I did not keep an account with each
COW to see what she was doing.
''SiX years ago began to keep an ac
count with my cows. bought set Of
scales and put them in the tie-up, and
from that time to the present every COW
has had to stand on her own merits. I
bought me registered Holstein bull
and began to raise my own cows. To-
day have about forty cows and heif'
ers, and last fall won fifty ribbons at
the Bangor and Lewiston fairs. My
standard when began was $500 quarts
a year, and today my two-year-old heif-
ers are averaging 1000 quarts year
and my mature cows about !, 600 quarts.
II am able to get $40 apiece for all
my grade heifer calves when few
days old. My grade bull calves sell
readily for from S. to $40 at the same
age to feed for veal or raise for steers.
I have never sold any Of my registered
heifer calves because am getting my
whole herd into registered stock, but
my thoroughbred bull calves sell at $50
to $40 when dropped, and sold one at
five months old for $50.
"Now, the only way ever got start
ed was in knowing, first, what every
COW was doing. Lots of COWS start out
with big mess and dry up in a few
months, so that they do not pay their
keeping. I sell that kind as soon as l
find them out, but never could find
them out if l did not weigh their milk.
I produce milk for factory at New
port. They buy milk by the pound,
so do not test my milk for butter
fat, but they test all the milk they
buy about once week, and they report
that my milk tests on an average of
about 4 per cent, and that, they say. is
good enough for them. If was selling
cream, would send a sample of every
cows milk to the creamery about once
a month and have them test it for but
ter fat, and in this way 1 would weed
out any cow that was not profitable as
q buttermaker.''

ANNOUNCEMENT.

To the Voters Of Langdon;-
Having been urged by large number
of the city's tax payers to consent to be
a candidate for the office of Mayor of
the City of Langdon. I have allowed
my name to be used, and in this con-
nection I beg to say that owing to our
city being already burdened with a
heavy tax 1 do not consider that it
would be the best judgment to advocate
or favor the building Of new city hall,
or the putting in Of water works the
coming summer, as has been talked of.
If elected shall use my best en-
deayors for the promotion and welfare
of the city generally.
Respectfully Yours

THE BARRY CASE.

Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock the
state supreme court, which is in session
at Fargo, took up the argument on the
writ of certiorari in the Barry case,
which was granted the defendant about
ten days:ago on motion of his counsel,
Judge Cleary. The question to be de-
cided by the supreme court is rather an
unique one, as it has never before been
raised in the state. Generally the ap-
plication for change of venue comes
from the defendant, and it Is rarely
necessary that the commonwealth is
compelled to question the possibility of
getting fair trial. At Tuesdays ad-
journment the defense were allowed five
days in which to file brief and the
state will then be given the same length
of time in which to file supplementary
briefs. From this it is certain the
supreme court will be unable to arrive
at a decision on the legality of the order
fora change of venue in the Barry case,
issued by Judge Cowan in less than ten
days or two weeks time.
Last week the Milton Globe announced
that when interviewed Mr.. Helgeson
denied being candidate, although he
has been urged by number of influential
friends through the state to place his
name before the convention. The game
is still young and Mr.. Helgeson may
come to different way of thinking ere
the actual pre-convention campaign
opens up. He is the author of the
plank in the league platform denounc-
ing the use of the unit rule-thatcudgel
of power in the hands of the political
bosses-and an assurance of its aboli-
ton at the coming state convention
would probably have tendency to make
him regard his own candidacy with
favor.

DlSGRACEFUL SCENES.
Officers and Men of Baltic Fleet
Drunk and DiSOrderly on
Shore at Canea.

Canea, Island of Crete, Nov. 21.-
Disgraceful scenes transpired yester-
day, when several groups of officers
and men Of the vessels belonging to the
Baltic fleet, in this port, left various
drinking houses and paraded the streets.
The Russians were evidently intoxi-
Gated. Brandishing their swords and
other weapons, they made wild rush
att the peaceful passers by.
At least five of these were murdered
by the drunken Russians, many others
wounded and a large mum Der cuffed
and beaten. The brawls continued un-
til late into the night. Under cover
of darkness the drunkaras grew wilder
still and their shouts and loud talk
scared most people into their houses.
The streets became practically deserted
by the residents.
1t is reported that at least forty Of
the Russian sailors have so far desert
ed. Evidence Of unimpeac liable char
acter exists showing that the discipline
on board the Russian ships is unpar-
alleled in it's laxlty and that the men,
being intoxicated most Of the tie, can
not be controlled by the few of their
sober and serious minded officers.

UnskiIIed Laborers Placed Under Pro-
lection of System.
Washington, Nov. 19.-The presi-
dent has promulgated regulations for
the appointment of unskilled laborers
in the civil service and for the selec-
ton of eligibles for such appointments,
and has authorized the creation OF a
board to be composed of representa-
tive from each department.. This
board is to be under the general super
vision of the civil service commission,
but will operate largely on independent
lines. It will be required to make ex-
aminations of applicants for labor po-
sitions in the service and to prepare
list of eligi bles from which all ap-
pointments are to be made. Applicants
for appointment are required to be cit
liens of the United States, physically
and mentally qualified, of good char
acter and ha bits, and of requisite ex-
perience, as attested by vouchers.

BRADY HOLDS ON.
PRESIDENT Decides to ReappOint Him /
Governor of Alaska.

President Decides to Reapp0inf HIM
Governor Of Alaska.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The presi-
dent has announced that he has decid-
ed to reappoint John G.. Brady govern
or of Alaska. Gov. Brady's term ex-
pired on June last, but the appoint
ment of his successor was deferred
pending the investigation Of federal
affairs in Alaska which has recently
been completed by Judge Day.
Judge Day found and so reported to
the president that there was no OBJ
stacle to the reappointment of Gov.
Brady, so far as his character was
concerned, and that such opposition 20
the governor as existed among the
Alaska people was not based on any
particular fault in his administration.
The president would not have ap-
pointed Mr. Brady if the Office had
been one of considerable power and
authority. The office under the pres
emit law is not only an anomaly, but
an absurdity, for the governor exer-
cises no function comparable in i'm
portnce to those of an ordinary Justice
of the peace in the United States.
Mr. Roosevelt hopes that the powers
of the Alaska governorship may be in.
creased. In the meantime he sees no
re ason for declining to reappoint Gov.
Brady.
Considering the difficulties of travel
during the winter season, the presi-
dent has decided not to make perma-
nent appointment Of United States
marshal at Nome to succeed Frank 81.
Richards, removed. until next spring.
Orders have been telegraphed to Judge
Moore, therefore, to appoint marshal
temporarily, as he is empowered to
do by the statutes. Judge Moore has
not yet notified the department of just
ice of his selection.
