REPUBLICANS SWEPT THE
CITY AFTER ACTIVE FIGHT

booth. place the ballot he had just re-
ceived in his pocket, take the already
marked Democratic ballot from his
pocket and give it to the election of
ficers TO be deposited in the box. On
leaving the polling place the voter was
to give the. new ballot he had received
from the election officers to a man in
the house waiting for him, and "get
his" if anything was forthcoming. The
scheme was worked for some time un-
til Jacob II. Lewis intercepted a col
Ored man going from a house to a poll
ing place, and took from him a ballot
marked for the Democratic ticket. The
Republicans now have the ballot, and
it may figure in some interesting de-
velopments later.
Taking into consideration the inter-
est that centeredi in the fight for may
or and Council there was less disor-
der than at any election ever held in
the city. The members of the Depart
ment of Elections made rounds of the
voting places ins cabs all day. The en-
tire police force was on duty. but the
officers had nothing unusual to do.
In the Third and Orange district of
/ the First ward the Democrats COM
planned during the afternoon that Otto
Scheu, Republican inspector, accepted
a vote that should have been rejected.
They alleged that the man who voted
did not live in the district, although he
was registered from the district
Democratic Chairman. John f. Malloy
caused the arrest of Inspector Scheu
in the evening. but he Immediately
furnished bail. William ]. Martin be-
coming his surety.
Nayor-elect Wilson and the other
newly elected officers will take office
on July l. Council has some patron
lage to distribute. Mayor Wilson dur
ling his term will name a new Board OF
Health in May next, and toward the
end of his term will name a new water
commissioner and a new director Of
1.-THE Street and Sewer Department
which will give the Republicans con-
troll Of the Street and Sewer Depart
Ement
CORRUPTIO NFUND.
1t is said that only by a corruption
fund We're the Democrats able to carry
1.-THE Second and Twelfth wards. 1t il
lestimated that they used more MONEY
lin those two wards than was eve
lspent at any previous city election
The Democrats thought If those ward
we're carried that they were sure T.

used principally in securing the col
ored vote.

Sioux Falls Press Says 500 Will Build
North, from Aberdeen. :.

The Sioux Falls, IS. D., Press says
eddtorially: During several recent
years g. railroad called the "Soo-P Pa
cific" has been wandering about lin
southern North Dakota and northern
South Dakota, apparently without par
entage, but really attached to- a, line
running from Sault, Ste. Marie, Michi.
gan, to Vancouver, British Columbia,
Its entire name is the Minneapolis, Et:
Paul g. Sault Stes, Marie railroad. ;.
!, A,vbranch from the main line (, las
been built from nHankinson to 4 Big
marck, IN. D., and a branch of the
branch runs, into the northern edge kof
South Dakota, with almost right
angledr curve, and terminates at PplE
lock, ION the rMissour1Trlver. =
The Minneapolis & st. Louis ran:
road. presumed to heve family rela?!
tons with the $500 Pacific" is already
in existence between Minneapolis and
tWatertown, South Dakota.
1.-The activity of party of surveyors
in the vicinity of Aberdeen has at
tracted the attention of the curious
and the course Of the party has been
studied closely enough to give rise to
the belief that it is running line for
a railroad connection between the
Minneapolis G. st. Louis at WATERFOWL
and point on the $500. Pacific" branch
chat terminates at Pollock. Aberdeen
expects a visit from the WATERFOWL
extension as it proceeds northwest.
wardly to join the main line.
Arthur Brundage,' noting the above.
writes from rBridgewater, 8. D., to the
Press as follows: "Color is lent to
your theory of the probable extern.
sion of the M. & St. L. by the fact that
the 500 owns right-of-way. and grade
from Aberdeen through Leola, the
county seat ofGMcPherson county and
connecting with the branch of the
branch at Ashley the county seat of
Mcintosh county, North Dakota. This
grade was completed in 1887, and
historically it may be of some interest
to state that the line was projected
and the right-of-way secured by "Ord.
way johnson II have forgotten his
lnllials)' who was during the later
territorial days quite prominent fac
Tor IN democratic councils and resided
at ordway, in Brown county"

Consolidated With Devils Lake.

Secretary Hitchcock of the depart
ment of the interior at Washington,
has promulgated an order consolidat-
ing the Grand Forks and Devils Lake
land Office, at Devils Lake.
This will retire; Col. w. H. Brown,
register of the Grand Forks Office, and
John Nelson, receiver, who some time
ago rendered his resignation to take
effect the first Of the present month.
No action was taken on his resignation
and Mr.. Nelson returned to Grand
Forks the first of, the month to make
out the. monthly report.
4 The Grand Forks land Office was es.
tablished in June, 1880, and D. CsTf-
fanny was the first register and w. ].
Anderson the first receiver. There
has been no land settlement, in the
Grand Forks district for some time,
and the Office. was kept open onlyrfor
the purpose of transacting such bust
ness as naturally came in from the
district in the way of contests and
final proofs.
r. An effort was made to, consolidate
the Grand Forks Office with that ct
Fargo at the latter point, but failed.
