The Cando Democrat denies
the report that John Burke, the
Democratic candidate for COVER
nor is a boozer. No, Burke is
not a booze fighter. He isrecog-
nized throughout the state as a
good clean fellow and he will poll
a lot of Republican votes.
An unknown dead man was
found in Minneapolis. Upon his
person was a letter from Mamie
Thompson of Fargo and the wo-
man being located, informed the
police that the name Of the de-
cedent was Frank Orman, who
was her lover. The woman went
to Minneapolis to take charge of
the remains.

Sixteen Minot attorneys, two
of whom are Democrats and the
rest Republicans, signed a reso-
luton recommending the selec-
ton Of Judge Fisk for the SUI
preme bench. Fisk is a Democrat
but in the judiciary, there should
be divorce from politics and the
Minot attorneys are right. Fisk
by his long judicial service, has
remarkable fitness for the office.
Preventics, as the name implies, pre-
vent all Cold and Grippe when "taken
at the sneeze stage"
j Preventics are toothsome candy tab
lets. Preventics dissipate all colds
quickly, and taken early, when you first
feel that cold is coming, they check
and prevent them. Prcventlcs are thor
oughly safe for children, and as effectual
for adults. Sold and recommended in 5
cent and Is cent boxes by A. P. SLoCUM,
Druggist.
Atty Pearson of Bowbells
while in Minot Saturday said that
Bowbells would fight against
voting for $40, 900 bonds to erect
a new court house 40 Minot, un-
less it is plainly stipulated that
in case the county is ever divid-
ed, the other parts Of the county
will be reimbursed proportion
ately. This would seem a very
fair way.
Gordon Campbell from Olive
was in Minot Saturday and in
| formed the Independent that he
won his suit against VIM. Smith,
the Olive postmaster, in county
: court, for SANDER. Smith, ac-
cording to Campbell's statement,
claimed that Campbell had stolen
, SO bushels Of speltz when as a
matter of fact, Campbell says he
was fourteen miles away at the
time. Campbell was given a
judgment of $500.
At meeting of the Northwest
:. Medical Society recently, the Sec
rotary who has been making a
collection of newspaper clippings,
|, in which the names of physi-
clans were mentioned, read the
collection which afforded the doc
tors a great deal of amusement.
: An effort is being made every
where to cause newspaper men
to desist in mentioning the names
of the doctor in connection with
a news item.
+ Patten & Perry's comedy gave
, the best of satisfaction. It is a
pleasure to attend a show with
real merit. Jerry from Kerry
was really funny and the crowd
I was kept in a continual state OF
laughter. The Independent is
{ glad to welcome shows of real
merit to Minot. In the past we
e have been too merciful with in.
I ferior attractions having been led
}. to believe that unfortunate cir.
: cumstances compelled them tc
hoodwink the people. We have
about concluded that bum actors
are employed on purpose to gel
the peoples money and hereafter
will call a spade a spade. We
hope that we will not be com.
PEELED to lampoon ANYBODY.
