perfect; but he has received scant
support. Col. Gorgas is trying to
make the Panama sanitary. Hecame two

A sewerage system has been install

water supply. This has been done in
Colon also. The French did not do
this or contribute one iota to Pana-

Indifferent, indolent people. The
United States government is showing
them how to live. President Roose-

GOT THE $76. PRIZE
Editor Matt Johnson of the
Herald Wins.
His Excellent Article Descriptive of Bot
tineau County Won First Prize.
We Congratulate him.

We are very pleased to note that
Editor Matt johnson, of the Omemee
Herald, drew SIS prize for his excel
lent article on Bottineau county's ad-
vantages and resources. We extend
our warmest congratulations. He de-
serves them. And he certainly de-
served the prize which he has receiv-
ed. We believe Editor johnson is
one of the most capable newspaper
men in the state and that Omemee is
not doing as we'll by him as she
should. He is active, progressive,
wide-awake and is giving Omemee
what she Las never had before-a live
newspaper. Once more we congratu-
late him that, even if not fully appre-
ciated at home. his efforts are meet
ing with outside approval.

SCHOOL LANDS
Sold on Friday Brought a Good
Reasonable Price.

The sale of school lands last week
amounted in the aggregate to $751;
OO0,. The maximum price paid for
one quarter was $32 per acre. This is
indicative of the confidence the farmer
has in Bottineau county soil. The
heaviest purchasers of the school lands
are the old timers who have had suffi-
cient chance to test the value of the
country. Treasurer Scully received
over $50, 900 in cash of the sales made,
which represents one fifth of the pur-
chesa price which was to be paid.

ARIEL QUARTETTE
Gave a Successful Concert
Friday Night.
The Local Lecture Bureau Is Making good.
Other Splendid Numbers are
,r Coming.

The lecture course of the winter
season is on the road to success and
bids fair to be winner. The seats

for the remaining three numbers, the
balance of the course. The following
numbers are yet to come: Father
Vaughan on ths second Of January,
Columbia entertainers on February
21st and Ash Davis on March Goth.
These dates are official as arranged by
the lecture committee. It is the OBJ
ject, both Of the lecture bureau and
the local lecture association, to be true
to the arrangements as far as weather
will permit. The Ariel Quartet ar.
rived at 8 80 and rendered their con-
cert according to contract. It was
thought at one time that it would
be best to call it off, replace it with
another number as speedily as pos
sible, but a large number of the
season ticket holders gathered max
ing about $50, and under those cir
cumstances the concert was rendered.
and no one would have missed it il
they could have helped. Every mum
Der was encored, not weak number
among them. The voices blended
superbly. The reader was very salts

excellent display Of her skill and

BIoG RAPnICAL
Sketch of the late John
w. Bennett.
A VERY ABLE MAN.
History of our State. A wellknown
Lawyer, Journalist, etc.

Judge J. w. Bennett, whose death
was reported in these columns of the
last issue which occurred at Washing
ton, D. c. was a very interesting
character in some of the early history
Of Bottineau and Bottineau county.
He was born in New York state and
educated in the University of New
York, one of his classmates was the
renowned DR.. T. Dewitt Talmaee
whose friendship he retained all his
life. And he certainly held this
friendship in very high esteem, which
might be seen from the many refer
ences made to him in the Bottineau
Pioneer, of which he was editor in
the early days of the county
He was lawyer by profession and
first came to Dakota in territorial
times and located for q while at Grand
Forks in 1888. from there he went to
Devils Lake and took up the practice
of law until 1885, after which he was
appointed by Judge Thomas of the
district court as clerk of court for Bot
tineau. In 1885 he purchased the
Pioneer, which was founded by w. L.
Bickham. The sheet not only changed
hands at this time, but it's politics
also. It had up to now represented
the republican interests of the terri
tory But Judge Bennett was in pol
itics democrat and one time allied
with that powerful organization -
Tammany of New York.
He was a man of considerable poll
tical and journalistic ability which
I is evidenced by ihe old file on record
in this Office of the Courant. And
he filled no mean or limited space in
the history Of Bottineau and Botti-
neau county. Those were evidently
the history making days of this com.
mnnity 's''- - - = '''' $3.50 'sff5----
In 1889 when this state was admit
ted to the union, the office of the
clerk of court Immediately became
elective, and in the democratic con-
vention which folio we'd Judge Bennett
was defeated by Dave Williamson.
But the judge speedily declared him.
self an independent candidate. The
Republicans nom n a ted William
Smith and in the election which fol.
lowed Bennett was elected. In the
year 1890 the democratic convention
nominated him for the senate but no
was defeated by Anton Svensrud.
President Cleveland appointed him to
clerkship in the. treasury depart
ment at Washington. which position
he held up to the time of his death.
During his residence in Bottineau
county he occupied many honorary
and responsible positions of trust.
One only need to look through the
file of the old papers to be aware of
his ability and the Importance of his
life in this city He was honored as
president of the state editorial asso.
citation, president of the democratic
state convention. offices for which he
was thoroughly and we'll qualified.
He will be remembered long by
many an old pioneer in this county as
a whole -souled, kind hearted and
congenial citizen and friend, and this
scant and inadequate reference to his
life will call up to many an old COM
paniou the days when they took q
hand in shaping the affairs, which
they have now passed on to the pres
ent generation.

THIS IS MIKADO'S BIRTHDAY
BIGGEST CELEBRATION EVER
HELD IN THE LAND OF THE
HRYSANTHEMUM.
Monster Parade Took Place at Toxic
This Morning, Thousands of
Troops Participating.

TOXIC, Nov. 3.-Today is the birth
day of the Mokado, and, it is safe
to say that the anniversary of Novem-
Der 8, 1852, on which day Emperor
Mutsushita was born, was never cell
ebrated with SO much enthusiasm and
so generally as this year. Chysantne-
NUNS ruled the day. The sixteen-pet-
aled chrysanthemum, being the crest
of the emperor, the flower stands in
high esteem in Japan and is extensive
ly used on the occasion of the en-
peror's birthday, to add beauty and
color to the artistic decorations in
which the Japanese excel.
The victorious ending of the war, but
few weeks ago, the warlike enthu-
siasm so recently rekindlej by the tri-
umphant return of the Japanese fleet
and the presence in the city of a large
body of soldiers greatly contributed
to give to the celebration today de-
cidedly martial color.
AS usual the morning was devoted
to a review of the troops on the Tn
yama palace grounds. The streets
through which the troops marched
We're goregously decorated with flags,
banners and other artistic decorations
and were lined with enormous crowds,
which cheered the brave soldiers with
enthusiastic ~banzais. The cheers of
the crowd increased to a laundering
roar, when the Mikado, dressed in mil
itary uniform, and surrounded by a
brilliant staff, approached. Thou
sands of people surrounded the Aoya-
ma palace to obtain a glimpse of the
emperor and his suite and to see the
troops. marching past the imperial
stand in review.
One of the most attractive features
of the celebration was the display of
chysanthemums in all parts of the
city. Flowers of every hue and shade,
from the height of a few inches to
that of a tall man, were displayed in
every street and transformed the city
into a big flower garden. In the even
ing Baron Komura, the minister of
foreign affairs, will give a reception at
the Imperial hotel, to which three
thousand persons have been invited.
