Only a Dollar.

A local paper at Greenwood
Miss, has put importation a unique
scheme TO emphasize the ben
efits of spending your money
at home. A silver dollar has been
placed in circulation with a card
attached on which each man who
receives it in the regular channels
of business eau register the date
and his name. The paper in ques-
ton offers to give years subscrip-
tiOR for this dollar every time it is
offered at the office. although the
regular price of the paper is s. so.
Other business men will likely
offer 4 premium on,the dollar and
II will be much sought after. The
plan of this Greenwood newspaper
is a good one and worthy of
emulation everywhere. The mail
order concerns of the north and
east are taking countless thousands
of dollars from the channel of
southern trade, and that too for

When EIoquence Failed.

A certain excellent, but loudvoic-
ed members of the bar was address
ing jury. Finally, in a perfect
hurricane of sound he closed his
argument and sat down The jury
were impressed and the other side
was in danger
The barrister opposite had sad,
watery eye and a Ratchet like face.
He sat patiently through the tu-
multuous gusts of his friend, and
after the reverberations of the
closing crash, he rose quietly from
his seat.
As I listened to the thumderous
appeal Of my learned friend" he
said, addressing the jury in
drawing tone, I recalled an old
fable. You will remember, gentle
men, how the lion and the ass
agreed to STAY the beasts of the field
and divide the spoil. The ass was
to go into the thicket and bray and
brighten the animals out, while the
lion was to lie in wait and kill the
fugitives as fast as they appeared.
The ass sought the darkest part of
the Jungle and, lifting up his aw-
full voice, prayed and brayed and
prayed. The ass was quite intox
icated with his uproar, and thought
he'd return and see what the lion
thought of it. With light heart
he went back and found the lion
looking doubtfully about him.
What do you think of that?'
aid the exultant ass. Don't you

ion, in a scared tone. Why,
you d a scared me if l didn' t know
you were a jackass. -

Nerve Cures.

When worn out, so tired that be
can hardly stand, the Hindoo will
drag himself to the window and
rest upon his feet. He will open
his arms wide and breathe deeply
This is his way of resting his lungs
and his stomach. He will stand
by the window. taking in deep
breaths of pure air; meanwhile he
will say his prayers. The two to-
gether-the deep breathing and the
prayers restore him. He turns
from the window rested in mind
and body. His nerves are light
and free again.
The pet nerve cure of the Ameri-
can woman is a nap. Her forty
winks restore not only her body
but her mind. To secure her
forty winks she needs only
darkened room and a pillow, with
the privilege of loosening her neck,
and belt, and shoes. The Chinese
also believe in the forty mods of
rest, and are able to go on with
their work for an indefinite time,
stopping every little while for
their forty winks. The Chinese
can work weeks without going to
bed, if allowed to drop of when the
nerves begin to give out.
As nerve cure the French sit
with the bare feet buried in fur
rugs for two hours every day.
Thus their feet breathe and rest.
Stop fussing. This is Lillian
Russell's motto.
Don't worry. Worry wears you
out quickly.
Don Midget. One hour OF hdg-
ETY. movements will set your
nerves flying.
Don't borrow trouble. Keep as
tranquil as you can.
Try the nerve cures. One of
them is surely adapted to your
case. Try each one until you come
to the one that is meant for you.
Don't give way to your nerves.
Keep on training them. You will
surely discover something that is
quoting, something that is intend
ed for your case. -Ex.

Logan County Pioneers.

The Napoleon Homestead gives an
account of the visit to Napoleon last
week of Peter A.Sjaberg the first set
tier in Logan county, who filed on
claim near Beaver lake in the spring
% years ago. He was accom- panied
by an old friend, Ole Lunde, and the
two were the first known white men
to settle and live IN Logan county,
They left Bismarck in April and
camped near a lake where they could
get some timber for fire wood and
where fish were plenty with good
prospects for trapping the following
winter. Sjaberg bought team of
oxen in Bismarck for Sl65. returned
to his claim and broke some of the
ground.
The first furrow broken was done
by the oxen following an old buffalo
trail. The claim was ~ miles from
Steele the nearest trading point. In
the winter they ran out Of matches
and tobacco and Lunde started to
Steele to get some supplies, got lost
on the prairies and was absent three
weeks. Sjaberg managed to light
fires in the house by shooting powder
into old rags which ignited. During
the winter the men trapped 33 bea-
YER, "a otter, Is fischer, about so
badgers, 107 foxes, and between 200
and 300 mink.
Both men have left the county.
Sjaberg is IS years old and was SOL
dier in the civil war. He lives in

That Petition FOR GOVERNOR
Widely Circulated Around the County for Alfred
Steel of Jamestown.
Intended to rlsrepresent nany Republican signers
Not in Sympathy With the Insurgents.

A small gathering or local politi
cans assembled in Jamestown Wednes
day. the 9th at which meeting it i
claimed, an "organization'' wal
effected to lay plans for a politica
campaign in Stutsman county. M
public notice of such meeting wa
given. The object of the meeting
was pretended to be for good govern
ment and reform in Stutsman county
The real purpose was to displace, Il
possible, the regular republican
organization of the county and secure
offices for those who attended this
meeting or in whose interests it was
held. A report Of the meeting states
that it was presided over by E. J.
Gleason, Frank McElroy acting as
secretary. Resolutions we're adopted
and ticket of candidates :or the
various offices discussed.
It was also published IN the Daily
Capital on the following..day, in con-
nection with the resolutions and a
report of the insurgents secret meet
ing, that petition for Alfred Stee
for governor had been largely signed
and list of Jamestown residents was
printed as fayoring MI. Steel for gov
ernor. This list of names, together
with an account of the meeting has
been widely distributed around the
county, with the intent to create the
impression that the majority OF the
republicans of Jamestown were favor
fable to an insurgent ticket and
against the regular party organiza'
tion. -
The petition circulated for Mr.
Steel did not include any names OF
candidates as delegates to the state
convention, was not in the form pre-
scribed by law and has not been pre-
sented to the county auditor as a
petition for such purpose.
1t now appears that Mr.. Steel was
not party to this use of his name
and does not approve of the proceed
ings, although he is naturally sensible
of the honor and good wishes ex'
pressed by his friends In attaching
their names to the paper circulated
While every one in jamestown
would be pleased to see Mr.. Stee
governor, recognizing it as an honol
both to himself and the city, the
signing of the paper by number Of
republicans was done with a state
Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1906-05-17

+, m.nt that they did not endorse any
insus4Hnt movement, but intended to
support the regular republican organ
ization and the candidates elected at
the republican primary. Others who
signed the petition we're under mis-
apprehension of the real object of the
same. which, by using the name of
Mr.Steel in this manner, was intend
ed, no: doubt, to aid an insurgent
campaign scheme.
The ,circulation and publication of
the petition may have deceived some
of the republican voters of the coun-
ty, not familiar with the circumstan-
ces. Whether that was the intent or
not, the names of we'll known re-
publicans in the city who are identi-
fed with and cordially support the
republican party organization of the
county, were thus secured to appar-
emily endorse an insurgent league, on
the pretext of favoring Mr.Steef for a
nomination which he had not sought,
and by proceedings which he did not
sanction. These. men object to being
classified with any insurgent move
ment in the county or state, as they
are unqualifiedly opposed to it. They
endorse the excellent administra-
tion Of both our county and state
officials and are satisfied with the
work of&orr republican members of
congress-.
Those who signed Mr.. Steel's petit
tion did not sign list of names for
delegates to the state convention as
required by law in the nomination of
a candidate for office, therefore are
perfectly free to sign any other petit
tion in. the regular form for delegates
to the sssnvention- in favor: of any
candidate for any state Office.
The insurgents main argument in
absence of any good grounds to criti-
else the present county and state ad-
ministrations, is cry against "ma-
chine dictation" and for s'honest and
upright methods in the conduct of
party politics. To an outsider it
looks as if the attempt as above de-
scribed, to deceive many voters of the
county, by means of the petition for
Mr.. Steel, does not warrant much
confidence being placed in the so call
ed movement for "honest' methods,
and "reform'' by the so called "good
government league' which sprouted
in this city last Wednesday.

made at the meeting by Chairman
Knauf who at the request OF Mr..
Eilertson of Gerber, explained at some
length the provisions Of the primary
law, it's cost, some Of it's difficulties
and the advantages of it's workings
and stating that while in favor OF the
primary election law personally, tnat
if it is good thing, then it should be
made to include all state officials and
if not good thing it should be repeal
ed in all things. ......
Mr.. Richard Pendray of Eldridge
said he thought the new law operated
against the farmers-the heavy tax
payers-or those who lived in the
country distant from towns. as it was
a hardship to travel around and get
the necessary number of signatures
at time when the farmers are busy.
He said he was not a candidate for any
Office, but he might be some day or
his son might be and he did not BE-
lieve the primary law was square
deal as far as the distant residents
from town were concerned.
A delegate from the northwestern
corner the county had an opinion that
a candidate living IS miles distant
from the county seat was placed at a
disad advantage with the city candidates
as it is a hard matter for distant resi-
dents to become acquainted with each
other, while under the convention way
the best men Of the various precincts
would gather each year and
acquaint with one another, their de-
sires and capabilities.
Mr.. Cooper Of Corrine was OF the
opinion that the. incest and best way
to present instructions to the legislar
tive delegation on the subject Of the
primary law was for tile electors to ex-
press themselves s'for" or against
the law at tho general election IN
November. *y \
