Interstate Fair

The good start made on build
ings and grounds last year
gives time to select better attrac-
tions.
With the completion of the
new administration building, the
new barns for horses, and for
sheep, the Interstate Fair
Ground will be as complete and
as pretty as any similar grounds
in the west. The arrangement of
the grounds is beautiful and the
symetry conformed to in the To-
cation of buildings has called
forth the admiration of all.
More than two thousand addi-
tional lineal feet Of cement
walks have been added to line
the boulevards leading to each of
the buildings on the grounds.
Thousands of dollars have
been appropriated for races this
year, while additional thousands
more than ever offered by any
fair in the state-will be given
for stock, poultry, agricultural,
commercial, industrial and edu-
cational exhibits. This means
more and better races and larg-
er and better exhibits and attrac-
tons than last year.
The Interstate Fair will be
held July 20 to Aug. 3 and Sec
rotary Wilson says that anyone
who addresses him at Fargo will

plains everything and shows
the great magnitude of this I'M
dertaking.

on the infinite consolation held
out to us by that fact. Rev. N.

F. JAMES DROWNED
A Pail Thrown Over the Community
Sunday When Learning of
His Death

Sucked into the depths of a
treacherous whirlpool in the wa
ter of the Heart River at Man
dan, Fred James, the sixteen
year old son of the Rev z. James,
Methodist minister at that place,
lost his life last Saturday eve
ming about six o'clock, while in
bathing with is brother John and
a companion, Ray Matney.
The drowned boy, who could
not swim a stroke, ventured too
near the water hole, which was
about fifteen feet deep, none of
the bathers being aware of it's
existance. He sank at once, but
upon coming to the surface, his
brother made a frantic effort to
save him. This attempt proved
futile, he pulling John down with
him. John then made another
effort to save the drowning boys
life, which also proved useless,
as Fred twined his arms around
his brothers. body in such a man
ner that swimming was impos-
sible. A third time John grasped
the body, and with the help of
young Matney attempted to keep
the body on the surface, but to
no avail. He finally reached the
shore in a thoroughly exhausted
condition, and lapsed into I'M
consciousness. quite a few NOM

our IcoNocLAsrlc PRESIDENT.
Jaustlc Criticism from High Rcpub-
lican SOurce

One important Memorial Day adj
dress has been somewhat overlooked
in which Lieut.. Gov. Sherman, Of
Illinois, pointedly attacked some Of
President Roosevelts policies, aud
especially his attempt to dictate to
congress and overthrow states rights
and home rule.
1.-The crying lawlessness of the
age, said Gov. Sherman, "is the
gradual weakening OF the legislative
branch Of the government. We need
not denouuce the cause. We de
rlore the fact. The cause may be
the personality Of ITS members. 1t
may be the insidious attacks of the
executive from time to time The
legislature originally was the strong
est and most representative. 1t is
so no longer
"Ihe state governments are pow
erful agencies TO train the citizen to
an appreciation and understanding
Of civic duties, either in state or
general government. The state can
not be reduced TO a mere outlying
federal province, dependent upon
the general government for its gen.
eral local welfare"
Such advice from Republican
official shows that there is a deep
uIdercurrent swirling to the surface
for the Democratic policy of the
freedom Of the representative of the
people from executive dictation and
the resuscitation of the reserved
rights of the states and home rule.
This Republican protest against
the "insidious attacks of the execu-
tive" and 'the usurpauon of those
In power, drunk with the lust Of off d.
cial might" as Gen. Sherman puts
it, is much more caustc criticism
of the acts of President Roosevelt
than has come from any Democrat.
Politically 1t is very important, as
Gov Sherman is close friend of
Speaker Cannon and would hardly
have made this attack without his
counsel or consent. The old school
Lincoln Republicans are evidently
combined to prevent the dictation
of their present strenuous but cratic
chief.
Democrats have long viewed with
alarm the iconoclastic policies that
have been fostered by the Roosevelt
faction Of the Republican party that
in the name Of reform is attempting
to tear down the constitutional edi.
fee reared 10y the fathers of the re-
public without even insuring solid
foundation for the Capitalization
they plan in Its place.
While President Roosevelt is given
full credit for his adoption OF some
Democratic policies, il is feared that
the effect of his Hamiltonian sfalse
doctrines Will bring disaster. The
fact is that President Roosevelt is
an opporIunist ready to grasp at any
| bubble that rises 10 the surface Of
the political pond that he thinks will
aid Roosevelt renown.

Pumpkin Pie.

Some low-browed, pessimistical sta
tistician has arrived at the deduction
that pumpkins are growing scarcer

that by the time the city folks get a

country, the pumpkin pies will be all
gone. Some time ago the great prob
lem was Shall we open the mints to

IN LiFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships Of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
Of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience Of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal Of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over Us In bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays. when the
smoke Of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud
a vapor, passes away,-Matthew Hale

Snake Story.

A story is current of a man living
near Kirk, In Banner county. being
bitten twice by rattlesnakes. 1t seems
he had stepped over fence when one
snake struck him in the ankle. He
killed the snake and sat down to open
the wound with his knife. and while
thus occupied another rattler bit him
on the back of the hand. He trans
ferred the knife to his left hand and
opened that also and then hastened
to the house. caught and opened a
chicken and placed it on the wounds.
Beyond some swelling neither bite
proved serious and he is getting along
nicely. We could not learn the mans
name.-Missouri Exchange.
