The Printing Graft.

Emmons County Record: The Grand
Forks Times, which unearthed the
printing steal Of the Grand Forks
Herald in combination with other firms,
has now sprung a new sensation. It
publishes the affidavit of young lady
formerly employed by Walker Bros &
Hardy, of Fargo, in which she AYERS
that she saw several hundred dollars of
percentage" Doodle paid by member
of that firm to the then auditor of Rich
land county. If Walker Bros. & Hardy
are in that line of business, it would be
interesting to know how many other
county purchasing officers throughout
the state have been tarred with the
same stick. Twenty-three years ago a
young man named Thomas Wright,
who was travelling for printing firm,
told the writer in Bismarck that he had
to Doodle a good many of the county
auditors of Montana and Dakota before
he could sell them books and stationery.
The scheme was the same as that
adopted by the Fargo firm. The price
would be raised about Is per cent, anc
the raise would go to the thievish of.

A Human Slave.


There is a sensational death in the
first act of IA Human Slave'' which
comes to the Oakes opera house next
Tuesday, Sept. 18th, under the direction
Of Sweet & Brown, which is exceedingly
effective and dramatic. An aged iron
master, suffering from aneurism of the
heart, learns that his daughter, q
beautiful girl, and the pride of his
heart, is in love with young man who
is a working foreman, and who applies
to him for a position as superintendent
Of his rolling mills. In a rage he
drives his daughter from his Office, but
the excitement is so intense that he
falls dead. Bya clever trick, the dead
mans Junior partner, who is an un-
mitigated scoundrel, and who is himself
in love with the daughter, has secured
the signature of the deceased to a
fraudulent will which disinherits the
child. The unfortunate couple are
married, but it is not until the end of
the play that they come again into
their own. Managers Sweet & Brown
has made superb scenic production of
"a Human Slave, and a fine company
of artists Of established reputation will
be seen in the different parts.

Our Visit to DeLamere.

While in DeLamere last Sunday ye
editor and wife had the pleasure Of
being entertained at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. D. E. Blake. Mr.. Blake had
just returned from Forman where he
attended a meeting Of the drainage
commissioners. Sargent, Ransom and
Richland are uniting to drain the low
lands Of the three counties. The land
is 80 wet there that considerable Of
it can not be seeded in the spring
or when cropped it is drowned out or is
too soft to allow of machinery and
horses. The drain from DeLamere
will be twenty-five miles long, will cost
about $40 per quarter section, or a
total of $50, ZOO.
Mr.. Blake is cashier Of the bank
there and also has charge Of the lum-
ber yard. He has a very nice family
Of five children-two boys and three
girls is the leader in all things for
the upbuilding of his community. He
is much interested in church matters,
and until recently was superintendent
of the Sabbath school. He is q good
clean man and we are pleased to note
that the Republicans of Sargent county
recognized his ability in nominating
him for the legislature at the primary
election in June. He looks to us like a
two-time winner, and from days. as
sociation with him we know that the
voters will make no mistake in electing
him.

Herr Hager, wealthy and absent
minded banker who lived in Berlin
many years ago, frequently had watch
es picked from his pocket. At first he
had recourse to all kinds Of safety
chains; then one fine morning he took
no precaution whatever and quietly al
lowed himself to be robbed. At night,
on returning from business, he took up
the evening paper, when he uttered an
exclamation Of delight. A watch had
exploded in a mans hands. The hands
Of the victim were shattered and the
left eye gone. The crafty banker had
filed the watch case with dynamite,
which exploded during the operation of

On Monday morning, August 10Th,
between three and four o'clock fire was
discovered in the barn on the farm
known as the Osterloh farm near Hecla.
The barn and contents were complete
loss, including eight head of horses.
The loss falls mostly on Ebert Hubert,
who lost six Of eight horses burned and
also all of his harness. MIR. Hubert
operates a threshing outfit and had
everything in readiness to begin thresh-
ing on the day the fire occurred. Eleven
of his threshing crew were sleeping in
the hay and barely escaped, in fact
they considered themselves fortunate
to get out with the clothes they were
sleeping in. Henry Kytenon who
operates the engine and who discovered
the fire, saved his team but lost all Of
his clothes excepting the suit of under.
wear that he was sleeping in. He also
lost valuable watch, q small sum o1
money and some papers. One Of the
threshers lost a team of mules, one
mule belonging to Mr.. Hubert broke
the tie strap and escaped. On Thurs
day c. E. Nutten began to circulate {
subscription paper and in a short time
had between $4OO and $500 subscribed
in sums ranging from $40 down. Thi'
money will be used in buying horses tt
replace in part the ones lost by Mr.
Hubert and will be great help to him
as it will reduce his loss about one-half

IF CUBA WERE A STATE.
Speculation of n Southern Paper Gs

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The notion that Cuba would consent TO
annexation, conditioned upon entrance
into the American Union as a sovereign
State Is speculative. but, accepting IL as
true. what would be the political com
plexiOn of the island State? Would II be
Democratic or Republican, and If the
former, would il have Hearst or Bryan or
Cleveland tints? Or, II Republican,
would the "stand-patters" or the re
visionists' predominate2
We incline to the opinion that the
State of Cuba" would in time settle
down as part OF the Democratic solid
South" but there is no certainty that it
would glide into the Southern group and
accommodate itself to their political COM
pany with the naturalness Of Texas when
that republic was admitted into the Union
more than half a century ago
Were the people Of Cuba TO be suddenly
converted into voting American citizens.
il is difficult to predict with what party
the alignment Of the negroes and the
poorer whites would be. The majority
OF the people Of station and prominence
would be Democrats. just as they are
Democrats In South Carolina, but those
classes Of Cubans who have fought under
negro officers might accept their leader

that the Washington government now,
