stranger to us and his nomination Was
urged and accomplished by the "slope"
delegates who know him best.s If the
Valley delegates had had their choice
one of the eastern men would have teen
nominated. It is proof however that
the majority is nox west instead of east
of the James river.
The regulars got the candidates and
the insurgents the platform. A plank
was put in favoring the doing away with
state conventions and the selection oi
candidates for state and congressional
Offices. including preference for senator,
to be made by direct vote of the people.
1t will be easy to pass this as a law,
but the people will be up against i,
when they come to make the selections
For governor, for congress and for sena.
tor it will not be hard for the average
voter to express his preference, fol
these are mostly fairly we'll known to
everybody, at least those who have held
office, bnt when it comes to minor Offices
ithe voter will only be able to vote in
teliigently on one or two candidates
from his own locality.
The feeling at the convention was moi
nearly SO bitter between the factions as
might have been indicated by the vitu.
perations Of the primary election. In
fact it appeared as though large part o.
''insurgent" feeling was really on purely
local county issues and not those o.
state and congressional matters.
Of the candidates the Pioneer Express
will have more to say in the future.
But the campaign will not really be or
until the meeting of the Democrats a,
Minot on August 2nd.-in the opinion o
that party.

STATE MEAT INSPECTION.

Inc laws aHectlng the inspection o.
the great packing houses by the govern
ment passed by the late congress, are
just what are needed in theory and will
be amended where needed when put ir
practice.
We really believe that there has beer
much exaggeration as to the dirt, filth
and general unclean conditions of the
packing houses. Certainly but small
part of the buildings, the operations
and the output have been snbject tc
unsanitary conditions. Thousands o.
people go through the stock-yards ir
Chicago every day, and While they dc
not perhaps see everything, they do see
the most OF it, and so far as the public
have seen, the utmost cleanliness is
observed. Besides this the diseased and
tainted meats must necessarily be but a
small part Of the output. But it is an
old proverb that Everybody has to eat
a peck Of Dirt.
On the other hand it is quite probable
that there are abuses and unsanitary
conditions in these great packing houses
that need inspection and correction, but
not to the extent that the recent talk
would indicate. One would think that
most Of the animals shipped by our
western farmers and breeders were
nothing but the off-scourings Of the earth
and that healthy fat beef was an ex-
ception.
But we want to call attention to anoth.
erfact, and that is, that ii IS not only the
great city abbatoirs that need supervision
but the slaughter houses Of the small
cities and towns as well. Almost every
small town has had in its history just
such questions locally to deal with. We
have had them3in the past IN this little
cityof Pembina, and it is not an easy
thing o deal with BY municipal ordin-
ance.

The resignation Of Judge N. c. Young
from the supreme bench is a matter OF
interest to many old friends in this coun-
~, who used to be his neighbors. Judge
Young, since promotion to the supreme
court has made an enviable record as to
fairness and ability. He is to take a
partnership with the we'll known Fargo
firm, Ball & Wallin, and no doubt the
change will be benefit in a pecuniary
way. His MANY friends in this county
wish him continued success.

THE CONVENTION.

Well, the convention is over. As we
remarked last week, owing to the in.
surgent movement there were not many
changes from the former state officials.
The fight of the malcontents made it.al-
most necessary to renominate the pre-
sent administration, as the fight had
been made so directly upon these officials.
In all probability there would have been
some changes if the party nominations
had been made in the usual manner.
Not because any Of the candidates
nominated are particularly Objectionable
but because that is the, usual way of the
North Dakota republican conventions.
Many Of the regulars who would have
been willing to have made changes,
could not do so in this instance except
BY joining the insurg ents. who had made
such q union impossible by the. .vitupera-
tive campaign they saw fit 10 carry on
before the primaries. Its another i'll

Court.

Friday. Goldstein VS.. Atkinson
This was suit for damages for g., 600 ii
which the plaintiff charged the.defendan
with assaultihg him and throwing him te
the ground, and by this rough usage
caused rupture permanently disabling
him from active labor.
The defendant claimed that armed
with writ of replevin he went to the
store Of the plaintiff and served the re
plevin papers on him.
Plaintiff became very angry and excit
ed, scattered the papers on the floor ane
the defendant took him by the shoulder.
and walked him to the door. Here the
plaintiff took hold OF the door frame anc
attempted to stop, but the sheriff tool
his hands away from the door and ther
pushed him by the shoulders into the
street. Here the plaintiff continued te
dance around and struggle, the sheriff
still holding him by the shoulders. Ii
this fracas, the plaintiff fell to his knee.
and was lifted up again by the sheriff
While here the plaintiff took out the
store keys from his pocket and Atkinson
grabbed his wrist and they fell to the
ground and Atkinson picked them up
The plaintiffs story does not differ
materially from that Of the sheriff as
stated, except tnat he alleged fal
greater violence, and that he was thrown
instead of falling in the street, and that
Atkinson reached in his pockets when
down and took out the keys. OF course
he also alleges that he was ruptYred at
this. time. There was some medical
testimony on this subject but the most
effective was some testimony that the
plaintiffs attorneys refused to allow be-
ing heard, taking advantage of statute
that treats such communications from
patient to doctor as privileged and
sacred. .@
Several witness from Hamilton includ-
ing o. II. Johnson, r. A. Thacker and
Duncan Macarthur testified that Goldstein
had told them at times several months
or q year previous tothe assault that he
was then ruptured. The jury brought 10
q verdict after q very short deliberation
iu favor Of the defendant. Bangs ,&

The bar meeting that was stated to be
held in Fargo and that protested against
the nomination of Attorney Knauft OF
Jamestown as a candidate for supreme
judge, turns out to have been a meeting
of few lawyers many of whom were
democrats, and in no way an official
expression of the bar.

ICE SHOULD BE REMOvED.
Tho Habit Of Leaving Layers Of Ice
Laying ON the Sidewalks is .
Dangerous, One.

The present winter has been an un-
usually bad one for accumulating ice
on the sidewalks. The heavy snow
falls and the 'thaws and the frosty
weather Immediately following have
all tended to keep the walks in a con-
dition which bids broken limbs to be
numerous. ALL public spirited citizens
who have the interests OF their neigh
Dor and the city at heart. should take
the pains to remove the obstacle which
confronts every person as he steps on
the walks. It has been common oc-
curence this winter to see aged women
and men passing along suddenly fall
with such force as to break their limbs
if Ill fortune happened to favor them.
1t is a wonder that many cases of
breaks and bruises have not resulted
and 1t is only luck that more have not
been. If the male sex would spend a
few minutes after each snowfall with
shovel the community would be
mpch better OF. y

FAST BASKET BALL GAME.
High School Team Defeated the In.
dependents.

Yesterday afternoon the Minot high
school basket ball team played the
Independents of Minot in hotly con-
tested game in which the latter de-
feated the former by score of IA to
10. The game was played in the Ehr
block. The successful team was COM
posed of Messrs.H Hartnets, vanden-
over, Thowerc, Gammons and Thomp-
son; the players on the high school
team were Olesgard, Stenerson, Nor
row. Perry and Mulick. Previous to
the commencing of the game the Minot
high school band gave short public
concert in front of the Merrill house.
Negotiations are in progress for the
high school team to go to Williston
next Friday or Saturday to play the
Williston boys. The boys hope to be
able to take their band with them and
give the Williston people free band
concert.

lively. The dam, which ds q large one

more power than needed. The ques-
ton Of lighting botn East and West

the contract IL secured by either party

local places need power and light. but
the farmers and cities between here

air and water that we can help nature
produce, then save the seeds from
those plants for future trial under
similar conditions year after year.
This 10 q new method In experimental
work and has given astonishing re-
suits with the flax plants both with
reference to rust and wilt. Though
the experiments have not run as long
time we have even more successful
results with potato blight, wheat rust
and wheat smut. We now know that
we are on the right track to procure
resistant and immune varieties. The
processes are simple and every farm
er can take part in the work.
What Do These Experiments and
Observations Teach? Much which is
of great worth to wheat growers: ~
That the methods of grading and se-
lecting farm seeds heretofore recon-
mended and in use by most able farm
ers are along correct lines and should
be followed rigidly: because these
grading processes not only tend to
save the naturally big yielders but to
discard the, weak and nom disease re-
sisting strains Of grain; (2) 1t teaches
that, when farmer removes light
weight, shrfVeled grain either by fan
ming or screening he Semoves from the
seed grain which came from a weak,
sick plant or from one which could
not produce good plump grain under
the conditions In which his crop grew;
(S) That the farmer fought not to con-
tinuously change his type of seed
grain but should breed up a strong
strain to fit his own local conditions.
To do this, he should grade out all
of the lightweight, imperfectly shaped
grains and save the plump perfect
ones. These last grew on plants
which could resist trouble, plants
which were strong and resistant of
disease and hard conditions of soil and
weather.
Wheat from a Rusty Crop: All this
applies very directly to the question
of using seed from the present rusty
crop. Because of the reasons just
given, recommend that the farmers
in the rust infected districts procure
the seed for next year from their own
crop II it is possible to screen out
enough heavy grain for that purpose.
II one-third of the grains are heavy
weights, most farmers will be able to
do this by little extra work with the
tanning mill. Remember that this is
a good year to sort out good vigor-
GUS strain of seed wheat; for the rust
shriveled the grains of all of the
plants which could not resist rust,
and hard weather and soil conditions.
Clean out the light stuff. 49,.
A Goog Year to Purify the Durum
Wheat: also call attention to the
fact that there are several varieties
of durum wheat being grown in this
state and that while most dnrum
wheats are more resistant to rust
than the ordinary wheats, some of
them rust very badly and are of less
value than others. This is an ideal
chance to jurify the durum seed. Good
rust resistant durum is plump as in
ordinary years. Where it is mixed
with poorer types of durum and has
an admixture of the ordinary soft
wheats, the soft wheats and waek dur
ums are badly shriveled and therefore
can be easily removed by use of the
tanning mill or seed grader. Don't
forget it. 1t will pay you to purify

as he stood before the division super

the questions put to him:
$50 you say you would like to be-
come a porter?" said the superin-
tendent.
Eyes, sir.
What railroad work have you done?
II was a month on the -- road,
and recently at the club.
What have you been doing the last
couple Of years?
Il was in the ministry, but l

og gave me. but it didn't give me
enough money to keep me going.
well, there are no openings at pres
ent. but you take this application form
and fill 1t out" said the superintend-
ent.
This is the first minister who has
applied at the st. Paul Office for job

earning $35 to $40 a month, with what
ever extras the passengers may be

Prisoners Ordered to Work.


Rugby Tribune: A part of the SEN
tence imposed, upon the prisoners at
the close of the term of court Wednes-
day by Judge Cowan was that they
should be kept at hard labor and in
this connection Mr.. Cowan called the
attention of the sheriff to the fact that
these men should be given shovels and
put to work on the streets of Rugby
shoveling the snow from the sidewalks
so it!would be possible for person to
walk without being in danger of fall
ing. The Judge said it was dangerous
to try to walk down the streets on ac-
count Of the snow and ice and there is
no question about the truth of the
statement and 1t would not be surpris-
ing II scomeone gets fall and re-
ceives injuries which will result in an
expensive lawsuit to the city. The
walks ought to be cleaned of.
