IT you own or expect to operate a

have one of the DEMOCRATS thresher-
mans account books. Orders filed by

During the week it has come to the
knowledge of the DEMOCRAT that a
couple of grocery peddlers are travelling
through the country endeavoring to
work the farmers for their harvest sup
plies. Look out for them.
In the eastern part of the county a
number of the farmers are posting no.
tices on their land and propose to en-
Joy the privilege of shooting chickens to
the exclusion of others. This means
that trespassers on their land will be
prosecuted.
Hon. John I. Duffy, whose circle of
acquaintance in Langdon is without

Gratis in North Dakota has been selected
to fill the position of secretary to the
democratic state central committee dur

Monday afternoon the country to the
north of us, including sections of Hope
and Mt. Carmel township, was visited
by hail. Hailstones as large as hens
egg are reported as having fallen from a
clear sky. The duration of the storm
was almost momentary, being over be-

happened. Reports reaching the city
Tuesday would indicate that the dam

Co. Auditor Work says that after in
vestigation he considers this rumor of
our crop being injured by rust entirely
without foundation. What rust has ap-
peared on the crop around here is of
the red variety and affects crops every
year more or less. Several years ago he
recalls the rust being so heavy that the
canvas carriers of his binder was en-
tirely covered and that year the crop
and sample of grain were as good as any
that he has had.
A fine new line of box stationery and
paper supplies has been received this

An old colored nanny, who had
served the mistress Of a Baltimore
family many years, was telling that
lady's daughter some of her own per-
sonal experiences In her younger
days. Nanny was known as "Aunty
Prior" to the household and as isis

against one, Emeline Dorsey, a fel-
low servant, but bided her time for
revenge. The opportunity came when
Emeline appeared at meeting in new
Easter bonnet, and Sis Prior, catching
a glimpse Of 1t, seated herself directly
behind the wearer in the church.
Every time the speaker paused in
his address, Sis Prior uttered a fer
vent amen" BY degrees she be-

and finally the spirit moved her to
lay violent hands upon the finery
adjoining Emeline Dorsey's head.

NAVAL S0RTlE IS EXPECTED

Toxic, Dec 6. - Advices from Port
Arthur indicate that the Japanese are
planning final blow upon the fort
ress.
The advantage of the capture of 203-
Meter hill is widely discussed here
and Is considered a turning point in
the closing operations.
Gen. Nogi has begun mounting
heavy guns on the hill, and positions
for twenty of them have been con-
structed. 1t Is expected that the jap

To Sweep the Harbor
and the surrounding Notifications at
once, and end in one terrific blow the
long siege Of the fortress.
The first armistice between the
c0mbattants at Port Arthur was de-
clared on Dec. for the purpose Of
burying the dead. 1t lasted for a
period of six hours.
The Port Arthur besiegers report
that Friday bearers of flags of truce in
the direction of the left wing arranged
for partial armistice to extend from
10 o'clock in the morning to in the
afternoon for the removal Of the dead
and wounded.
Naval sortie Expected.
It is the general opinion here that
the Port Arthur feet will attempt to
make sortie when the harbor be-
comes untenable or when the Russian
plans for escape mature.
1t is evident that most of the ships
are badly damaged and unfit for SER
vice, but some have fighting powers.
The Russians continue nnine-clear.

pose Of preserving an avenue Of es"

Believe Japs Cannot Hold It.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 6.-Neither the
admiralty nor the war Office is able to
confirm a report from Chefu that the
Japanese have been unable to hold
203-Meter hill, but this news is quite
in accordance with their expectations.
Experts here are convinced that the
capture of 203-Meter hill will be OF
no advantage TO the Japanese unless
they can gain possession Of the neigh
boring forts.
Unimportant skirmlshes.
Gen. Kuropatkin telegraphs under
date of Dec. 3, reporting unimportant
skirmishes. He states that Russian
scouts found at one point on the left
flank seventeen Japanese corpses en-
titrely stripped Of clothing, probably
by local Inhabitants.
Gen. Kuropatkin also relates the dis.
covery Of two wounded Russians who
had been overlooked and left in the
trenches since Oct 16. One of them,
who had been less severely wounded
than his fellow, procured food by
searching the bodies of the slain, and
upon this they had subsisted for
forty-hve days.

Who Are They?

The spectacle OF an alleged "pri-
mary reform" ticket in THIS county
without any semblance Of organization
Is enough to disgust any man who
ever cast a vote. The Boyns City
convention placed in nomination q
bunch of candidates and, as vet, these
men have not been officially Notified
of such action. A number OF these
had no knowledge whatever that their
names we're to be used and are very
emphatic in their refusal to allow
thsir names to appear on such a COM
gIomerased. unprln ;ipled ticket
They are ia questionable company
and thoroughly realize it. They have
had no opportunity to resign and
have made strong effort TO find out
whom to notify, witout avail. lftheir
Games are placed on the so-called
primary Reform ticket" without a
chance to resign we predict one OF the
iiveliest scraps ever seen in this neck
of the wood. Yeu can nominate a
man without his knowledge or con-
sent but when il comes to forcing him
TO run for office on a ticket It's an
other question. There wss never a
bigger injustice done TO the cause OF
primary reform than when a bunch OF
sore headed, would-be politicians met
under the disguise OF democrat con
vention and after nominating them
selves latter row. placed "a few good
