Replying to the Abba Republicans
argument that there should be no fac
tions in q town or community, the
Lomlia Tribune says "That kind of
moonshine talk might go with sheen,
but with human beings that think it
is different. A good strong, healthy
faction or two is the life of any town.
1t is the power that keeps things
moving We know of town that for
years was run on the one-idea plan
and the result was complete stagna-
ton Then faction was formed and
soon life and vigpr was manifest on
new buildings, new sidewalks and new
residents. 1t is not that we don't need
the right kind"

Nearly Kills LabOrer

The scaffold on which six brick
layers were standing at the new
City Hall Luilding, broke Mon
day afternoon under it's weight
of brick. mortar and men, letting
all the workmen fall to the floor
a distance Of nearly ten feet.
None OF them were injured much,
but a laborer who was wheeling
a load under the scaffold nearly
met instant death. The heavy
weight Of the wreckage pinned
him to the floor, injuring him
internally. 1t was 20 minutes
before the men could extricate
their companion. He was car
ried to a physicians Office at
once, where he was given treat
ment. 1t is not known Just what
the extent OF his injuries are.
D. A. Dinnie is the contractor in
charge Of the work.

DEAD CHINESE
THROUGH MINOT

A gruesome cargo, a car con-
tanning the bodies of 100 Chinese
will pass thru Minot this week,
from Chicago. The bodies have
been disinterred from a Chinese
burying ground at Chicago, and
the remains are being taken back
to tie native land of the dead
Chinese, there to be buried. The
work is under the supervision of
a large Chicago Chinese society.
The Chinese believe that to enjoy
the blessings Of a hereafter, it is
necessary to be buried on native
soil. They always plan to lay
aside enough money to take
their remains to their old home.
They believe it is also necessary
to preserve their cue, and take
great pains with their hirsute
appendage.

instances where the votes have
not yet been recorded.
Since writing the above, a
letter from White Earth brot us
221O votes for Miss McGlynn.
In a letter we are lead to believe
that a ball is soon to be given at
White Earth, for the benefit OF
Miss McGlynn. A basket ball
game will probably be given the
same evening between the White
Earth team, and perhaps a team
from Minot. Miss McGlynn in
forms us that she will try to
duplicate Miss Lindsay's feat in
the Optics piano contest. 1t
will be remembered that Miss
Lindsay raised several thousand
votes in one evening with a ball.
Miss Anderson is thinking
strongly OF giving a public social
OF some kind, as many OF her
friends would be only too glad
to assist her in this. Miss NC
Glynn is a very formidable candi-
date. Look for something do
ing from the western part OF
Ward county.
The result OF the contest will
be made known in this office
sometime Saturday night Dec.
16., or the next morning, as soon
as the judges can finish the count
of the great volume Of votes.
Disinterested and fair jndges will

Competitoon Brisk.

The sale of delinquent tax real
estate began in minot Tuesday,
attracting a large number Of
capitalists from all parts OF the
county. Competition was strong
and many bid in the taxes at
one per cent. A good many OF
the business men "became wise"
to this fact and rather than pay
their taxes, allowed the bidders
to do SO, as at that rate, the
money would be worth but six
per cent.

the driver started for Minot, and
when but a mile from Burlington,
were thrown from the cutter in

from the driver. Mrs. Bach Sc

the party went to the depot at
that hour and remained in the
cold building until morning.
