PELICAN POINT BRIDGE.

The best way to reach the Devils
Lake Indian reservation which has
just been opened for settlement, is
from the city of Devils Lake. The
reservation lies directly south of the
lake from which it takes its name.,
There are two divisions of the lake
connected by narrow passage three
fourths of mile wide at Pelican
Point. This passage is five miles,
from the city of Devils Lake, and is
in the center of the reservation hav
ing a position somewhat like the CEN
ter of the inner lining ST a crescent.
This passage is crossed by stupen-
dous and substantial bridge. The
work is in fact an immense embark
ment of solid rock and surfaced with.
dirt It is sufficiently wide to per
NIT teams to pass, and in some places
is forty feet in depth. The lake is
thus cut into two parts by this i'm
mense artificial highway. It was
constr ucted by the business men of
the city of Devils Lake at cost of
$40, 900 nearly ali by means of private
subscription The u. S. Land Office
at which all registrations and entries
for land on the reservation must be
made, is located at the city of Devils
Lake. The hotel and livery accom-
modations are amply sufficient for the
handling of the people who may go
there for the opening. A drive #
five miles through one of the most
beautiful regions Of the northwest
will bring the homeseeker to the great
inland lake, while another mile over
the Pelican Point bridge places him
in the very center of the reservation.
from which point he can inspect the
entire tract with far less expense and
travel than from any of the other
towns on the extreme borders. Ina g
much as all prospective homeseekers
must go to the land Office at the city
Of Devils Lake to transact all bust
ness concerning the reservation lands,
it is evident that homeseekers will
first 90 to that point. For this rea
son, tickets from Chicago or the
Twin Cities should be purchased via
the Great Northern railroads direct te

If you buy the necessaries of life
on tick, you are sure to be appalled,
when the bill comes in. It scares
you; it lifts your hat off; il makes
you blood run cold. You are dead
sure that you never bought half the.
stuff charged against you, but the
merchant points with pride to his old
ledgers and day books and bill files
and things, and says that figures
don't lie. or words to that effect.
The merchant has cinch on you
his books will be &C :epted as con-,
elusive evidence every time: they are
like the laws of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS, whatever they were; and
nothing that you can say or do,
except pay up eheeffully, will cut
any ice. It seems to be ia best plane
to pay cash for every thing. even if
you have to borrow money to do it.

shape with Pelican Point for the
acute corner. and contains 1900 acres.
It is generally heavily wooded and is
we'll planned and arranged for a
military reservation. The Pelican
Point bridge across narrow neck of
Devils Lake, has its northern ter.

TRIAL AFTERMATH IN POLITICS
Democrats of Grundy Would Turn Sen
timent of Sympathy for SIifer Into
Opposition to County Attorney for
His vigor in Prosecuting the States
Case.
,ecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Grundy Center, Oct. 1.-THE after
math of the sensational Slifer trial is
being felt both in politics and street
disturbances. An effort is being made
| in democratic circles to capitalize the
sentiment of sympathy for young Slit
err into opposition to County Attorney
Reisinger who prosecuted the state
case with all the vigor he could COM
mand. Slifer was acquitted and was
probably innocent. He was adjudged
so and now it is contended that the
county attorney was altogether too &C
tive in trying to send an innocent man
to the penitentiary for life and in piling
up costs on the county. Friends of the
attorney reply that he did only his duty
as public officer.
Another fellow in Jail has been made
to suffer torrents of the damned, how
ever as the result of the excitement of
this murder trial. T.. j. Christie, in
Jail charged with swindling was the
object of small boys malicious joking.
Thursday night. right after the trial.
They started a terrific din outside the
Jail through which could be heard
cries for Christie. Hang him." Get a
rope Bring him out" Tar and feath-
ers" and everything crowd Of boys
can think of were heard. Finally some
one of the bars of the windows. BY
saving back and forth with the chain
on the iron bar a noise was produced
q: ,f.
whole side Of the Jail was being torn
out.
The Republican says that while all
this was fun tor the boys it was no fun
for the follow on the inside. The sher-
if was absent or this thing might not
have happened. When he arrived on
the scene he went to see how his pris-
oner was getting along. He found him
huddled in corner of his cell, grasp
the bars and shaking as if with ague.
For Gods sake and my mothers sake.
save me WILL" he exclaimed between
shakes. Morrison tried to assure him
that the boys were only making a noise
and that they wouldn't touch him il
they could. bu the unhappy man could
not be quieted. DR.. Grouse was sum-
moned and remained with him until
1890 and succeeded in getting him
quiet so that he finally fell asleep about
l a. m.
The boys on, the outside had no I'M
lawful intentions but a guilty con-
science and visions of his victims were
more than his cowardly spirit could
stand up against and the nervous COL
lapse of q. j. Christie was as real as
the fact that the Neptune Mining
Company will never pay dividend.
