John Nelson took five of his
lady friends out on the hill New
Years eve for a toboggan ride.

struck a bump and the girls went
in all directions. No one was
seriously injured.
County Treasurer Williams and
assistants have been doing q
vast amount of work of late
sending out personal tax notices.
They have sent out over 5000

number of tax payers in Ward
county is q great deal larger than
many suppose.
Jailer Roller states that there

The above clipping certainly
gives us food for thought. All

OF approaching dissension in the

before the convention to be held
at Chicago next June.
The followers Of Mark Hanna
are simply waiting for a chance
to Stampede the party in favor
Of 'the big boss. There is no
doubt that so far as he himself is
concerned that he would be per-
fectly willing to. make the sacri-
fee, But there is still the will OF
a people who are awakening to

In the popular mind there is
Done who would make as good
a president as the man who has
served us so faithfully since the
assassination of President Nc
kinley. A man who is neither
afraid of the machine or the
money which is behind it. A

the unions found that the man

dare not vouch.
An old soldier started out in
the face Of a raging blizzard from
Palermo to walk to his claim a
little over four miles from that
place and got tired out and lay
down to rest, and fell asleep; but
the strangest part of it is that
he was not frozen to death, and
his experience cost him nothing
more than a severe cold.

Better Than Last Year

The Minot merchants are about
through with their invoices and
state that they are we'll pleased
with the business which they did
in the year 1903. Most Of them

averaged very well indeed.
