Excursion steamer AbIaze.

The steam yacht Castanet, of the Wis.,
gor line. returning from Kingston, Ont,
to Clayton, n. Y, yesterday afternoon
with a load of $50 excursionists, caught
fire in midstream, and only by the most
fortunate circumstances was an awful
accident averted. The yacht was four
miles from Kingston and mile from
shore. a stiff breeze was blowing and the
passengers were enjoying the ride, when
suddenly sheet of flame shot up through
the hatchways. The passengers at once
ran to the ends of the boat The flames
swept up to the canvas awnings, and in
\ moment these were ablaze While the
Messengers were huddled forward and
aft the engineer and firemen made their
way through the flames from the en-
sineroom. The crew, after distributing
ife-preservers to the passengers, began
TO fight the flames. Capt. Barney Num-
headed the Castanet toward shore, and
was followed by the steam yacht Noko-
mis-. belonging to w. H. Nichols, OF
New York. which was mile away when
the blaze burst out. The burning boat
was beached on Cedar Island, and in a
moment the Nokomis was run behind
her. The passengers were transferred
without the loss of life, and the hre
was extinguished by the united efforts OF
both crews. Engineer Charles Wood and
his son, Raymond Wood, the fireman,
we're both badly burned, but will recover.
The cause of the accident was an explo-
sion of gas in the fire box, which threw
the hot Goals out into the engineroom
and down the galley.

history Of my candidacy from it's
inception two years ago know
that it sprang from the sugges-
tions of personal friends, who
we're not recognized as political
leaders. At first l did not take
this seriously, but receiving en-
couragement and promises of
support from various parts of
the state I finally consented to
become q candidate. subject of
course, to the decision of the re
publican party of my own county
and the state. The unanimous
support of Trail was given me,
but I failed in the st:te conven-
tion. It was then that many
leading republicans voluntarily
offered me their support should

Speaking about E. Y. Sarles,
who is seeking a nomination for
governor, the Hillsboro Banner
says:
It has been suggested to US
that as various rumors have been
placed in circulation regarding
e. Y. Sarles' views on certain
important public questions, a de-
claration by him to the public
would be in order and would tend
to quiet much of the idle talk of
the past few weeks. Accord
ingly the writer called on Mr..
Sarles and obtained from him
the following plain and uneqnivo-
cal statement:
.tAs to my position on public
questions you may state that I
have full faith in the republican
party of North Dakota; its desire
to serve the best interests of the
people; its sound judgment and
patriotism. The principles laid
down in it's platform two years
ago, are, / believe, a faithful ex.
preston of the wishes Of the re-
publicans of this state. My views
are in full accord with the plat.
form.
''In my opinion, the enactment
of q direct primary election law
would meet the wishes of the
great mass of the citizens Of
North Dakota regardless Of poll
tical afiliation or belief.
'sOn the prohibition question
you may ::quote me as standing
with the party for the mainten-
ance Of the present law and its
strict enforcement.

Unfortunate Accident.

The little two year cid son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Haaland, who
live about. six miles south of
town, lost both his feet by being
run over by the train which was
coming north Monday morning.
It appears that the little boys
father was working in the field
on the other side of the track
and the little fellow wanted to go
to him. He had a little express
wagon with him with some
things in it. The boy had got
clear of the track when he saw
the train coming but his wagon
was on the track and he went
back to get it. The engineer
slowed down the engine but did
not stop quick enough and the
little fellows two feet were cut
off by the front trucks just above
the ankle. The poor little boy
was picked up and brought to
Cooperstown as quickly as pos
sible where he was cared for by
Doctors Kerr and Bergstrom.
We understand that the boys
mother is sick in bed and those
who were taking care of her lost
sight of the little boy for a few
minutes. It is certainly hard
luck for the family and the little
boy. who, if he lives, will have to
go through life a cripple. We
do not know whether the ac-
cident could have been avoided
or not. Parties on the train at
the time are divided in opinion,
but there is one thing sure that
no engineer is going to run any
one down If il can be avoided and
we are going to reserve jndg-
ment until the matter has been
thoroughly looked into.

Hon. E T. Burke, republican
nominee for district Judge, is q
good lawyer, very pleasant
gentleman, and we feel sure that
il elected he will administer the
duties of his Office in q fair and
impartial manner. He is court
eous aud the attorneys Of the
district will oubtedly receive
kind and considerate treatment
at his hands. Here's hoping that
Judge Burke will hit out q home
run in November and come un-
der the wire with q great big
majority to his credit.

1t is chiefly the animus of pre-
hibition, the spirit that makes it
that does injury to q com munity.
It is the narrow, meddlesome,
fanatical and inquistorlal spirit
that stands behind prohibition
that so many detest. They want
no espionage by officials and
spies; they wish to be free from
the anoyance and insult of domi
ciliary visitation and from the
bitter and ceaseless contention
which prevails wherever pro-
hibitory laws prevail. No state
can afford to lose this great class
of people; no state can afford to
say that it does not want such
class to come and live within it.
This is one reason why our pro-
hibition states are unprogressive.
Portland Oregonian.
The editor Of the Portland
Oregonian probably has never
been outside the moss covered
confines Of his state and is not q
competent Judge Of the situation.
He is too bigoted and narrow
minded to rightly give the con-
ditions as they exist. North
Dakota has been q prohibition
state for years and we venture
the statement that no state in
the union is more prosperous
and that we have more wealth
per capita than any state in the
union. The COURIER editor has
lived in saloon states and pro
hibition states and Of the two we
know that in the latter the morals
are better, the conditions more
prosperous and we are positive
that the atmosphere is healthier
all the way round. We would IN
vite the editor of the Oregoniau
to spend a few weeks in peer
less and prosperous North Dako'
ta-we think he would retract
his statement above.

born in Clifford county, N. G. in
1874 and was nearly 60 years old.

David Ward and family moved to
Griggs county six years ago last

he had made many friends. He
was one of those genial old SOL
diers who always looked on the
bright side of life and was cheer
full at all times. The Courier
joins with many friends in ex-
tending sympathy to Mrs. Ward
and family in this hour of ber-
eavement. The nation has not
lost a great hero whose name
has been blazoned from the house
tops for fame achieved, but it has
lost a modest hero who gave his
life to the nation, if need be, for
the purpose of perpetuating our
glorious union. Let US hope that
he will meet with his reward in
the realms of eternal glory. The
funeral took place at the Baptist

to ashes by a terrible fire hat broke
out in P. G. Gordon's store at 3
o'clock. The flames made such snd-
den Roadway that wen the cash till
containing 800 in money could not
be saved. Two big hotels. one on
each side of the store building, were
in five minutes enveloped in a sheet
of flames. So rapid was the Roadway
of the fire that ever the contents of
the hotels could not be saved. A to-
tai of five buildings were consumed
and two other buildings badly dam
aged. 1t is a total loss without in
surance of about 5000. Several
parties had narrow escapes from be-
ing burned to death. and many were
seriously scorched. The fire started
from a disjointed s~toveripe in the

Making Legal Domicile at Havana.
New York, March 80. A special
from Havana to the World says:
The topic of the hour in Cuban
financial. commercial, political and
social circles, is the proposition of
several of the more powerful Ameri-
can trusts to remove their legal DOM
icile from the United States to this
city in order to evade the laws OF the
United States.
Through the support of a powerful
lobby organized here in the interest
of J. p. Morgan. the Rockefellers. J. J.
Hill, Levi P. Morton, Jacob Schiff,
Henry NJ. Flagler and their associates
affiliating with Sir William Van
Horne of the Cuba railways, or the
American Tobacco trust here. the ma
jority of the senators and representa-
tives in the insular congress, which
body is expected to reconvene in Ha-
vana on April /, have been persuaded
that it would be a great thing for
Cuba to make this capital the home
of the trusts controlling the COM
MERGE and trade of the New World.
There is no doubt the bill will be
passed promptly early next month,
and once it gets through the two
houses of congress-, the proposition is
to create a consolidated trust agency
company, with a billion dollars or
more capital and equipped to cover
the West Indies and Caribbean sea
coast countries of Panama, Central
and South America.
Securities Company Not in Deal.
Havana, March 29.-Rumors which

itself in Cuba came as a surprise to
President Palma. The president in

day that he had no knowledge, writ
ten, verbal or otherwise that such an
effort would be made.
