1t is happy state of affairs, and
we take pleasure in complmcnting
the citizens of Mclean county on
their good fortune in having their
county government in such good con
dition financially. There are but few
counties in North Dakota able to make
better showing And we say that ii
reflects credit upon every officer con
nected with the administration OF
county affairs during the past eight
years-it shows them to have been
conservative. and ii shows them to
have been honest. 1t shows them to
have been faithful to the trust that
the electors of the county reposed in
them when they elevated them to the
positions that they have occupied. 1t
shows that the republican party did
not err when they recommended these
men, who have identified themselves
with county affairs during the past
eight years for the suffrage Of the
voters of Mclean county. True. they
have done nothing but their duty. but
in the performance of their duty they
have been honest they have been
faithful.
The republican county nominees of
1904. collectively and individually
stand upon the past record of the
party, aad the financial statement of
the county for 1904. is the true and
verified record of the republican party
of Mclean county in the management
OF county affairs and every nominee
on the ticket of 1904 is pledged by tn"
party 10 continuation of past honesty
and past conservativeness. We do
not pretend to dictate what the verdict
of the electors should be. but we do
say that the republican party and its
nominees are entitled to the respect
and the confidence OF the taxpayers
of Mclean county. and to their support
at the polls next November.

HOWS THIS FOR WINTER?

Corry, Pa, Jan. IA renew al ofThursday's blizzard last night has again interfered greatly with traffic on all roads. The Chicago limited on the Erie was ten hours late this morning and the Cleve- land express five. Last night a Pennsylvania passenger train stalled in a drift for hours. The snow blows are constantly in use, and heroic efforts are being made to keep traffic open. The James town, Chautauqua & Lake Erie is completely tied up on account of disabling of the snow blow. Men are now shoYeIing the snow off the road, and it may be open by tomorrow.

 1 write this with the electricity of an expert. Some people, you know, were always slow; but 1 never was. To illustrate: Me and the professor were putting up a stoVepipe in my ten-story resi- dence. We slipped and fell. l hit the ground, jumped up, walk ed ten blocks, brought a bottle of liniment to rub myself and got half way up the ladder before the professor hit the ground.
 The next thing I got into, the professor and me went to Cuba to fight the Spaniards. We were put in charge Of one of those big guns. We rammed down 300 pound ball with 10 kegs of powder be- hind it. The lock was out of whack and it would not shoot. The captain came around and told me to go in the thing and chop the ball out with my hatchet. While in there at work I lit a ci- gar and the blamed thing caught fire and went off. 1 rode that ball 20 miles right through a blamed o'clock hedge and 1 tell you l had to chop like the devil to keep them brush from scratching my eyes out, but when the ball stopped l was i'll % steps Of home. 1 got there just in time to go to the pro- fessor's exhibition he had out at Oakland for the purpose of re- painting the old school house and replacing the pump handle that Fate McClain's old one-eyed mule broke off three years ago.

JEFF AND WOOD FINED

Hope, Jan. 16.-In Mayor J.H. Black s court the trial of Gov. Jeff Davis and Judge Carroll D. Wood, growing out of their personal en- counter during the joint discussion in the opera house here on Decem- ber IS last, terminated at 5:30 this afternoon.
 Mayor Black assessed a fine of $10 against each of the defendants for breach of the peace. In addi tion, he fined Gov. Davis $50 for aggravated assault. Each of the defendants, by their attorneys, filed notice of an appeal to the circuit court.
 The testimony of twenty-one witnesses was taken before Mayor Black. A preponderance of the evidence pointed to the conclusion that Gov. Davis was the aggressor in the trouble, and the fact that the governor was fined for aggra- vated assault shows that the court believed from the testimony that the clash was precipitated by the governor.
 Judge Wood was again present today, but Gov. Davis did not ap- pear, not having come to Hope for the trial. When all the evi- dence was in Hon. W. M. Green addressed the court in behalf of Judge Wood, and was followed by Judge James B. Wood of Hot Springs, also on the part of Judge Carroll Wood. The argument was closed by Hon. c. c. Hamby of Prescott, who appeared as the attorney for Gov. Davis. Mayor Black at once announced hls de- cision in the twoacases7a1odeefsses1f the notice of appeal had been giv- en the proceedings were closed.
 Each side had waived the right of trial by jury, agreeing to sub- init the case on the evidence ad- duced. There was practically nothing new developed in the sworn statements of the witnesses, the testimony being substantial ly in line with that published in the form of affidayits soon after the fight.
 Quietude prevailed in the court room today, and Mayor Black did not deem it necessary to renew his order of yesterday requiring those in the room to be searched.
