The third and last proposition is
one of great Importance to the city,
the securing proper wharfage facili-
ties. Some time ago when negotla.
tons were being gotten under way
for the building OF the F. NJ. & p.
branch line in the First ward, the
question was asked OF President Muir.

the wharf for the river interests at
Fairmont Mr.. Murray said there was
no disposition whatever to interfere
with the city's securing proper and
ample wharfage facilities. So here
we have the highest authority for the
statement that the B. 6 o. Is willing

Aolt speak,
First let me Introduce Governor
Hoch. OF kansas. In his second inau.
gural address. referring to drink and
the saloon.
He says:
Not a single good thing can be said
Of the saloon.
It Is everywhere and always an enc.
my to society and TO good govern
ment.
1t is disturber of the peace.
It is a promoter of strife.
It Is a faithful source Of crime.
It is the devils best recruiting
camp,
It imposes more burdens Of taxa.
ton upon the people than any other
agency in existence.
No human interest IS sacred to II.
It voluntarily obeys no law.
1t desecrates the Sabbath, and re.
fuses to close its doors on this holy
day except when a policeman with
righteous orders from some coura-
geous mayor is on that beat.
It dsbauches childhood, in defiance
of the law against selling to minors.
1t makes day lnrid with its profan-
tiles and night hideous with its orgies.
It Is everywhere and always an.
archist.
Some one Is likely to remark that
he Is a temperance crank.
My only answer to such accusation
Is. that in a State with a population
OF asOO.O0 there must be many other
eraniss OF the same kind or this Gov
ernor could not have been elected to
a second term.
Next let me Introduce to you man
whom hive never heard accused Of
being q temperance crank, nor Of pre-.
mature old age by long attendance on
church services or temperance meet,

+. ROAD COMPANY TOWARD
FAiRMoNT. 49,
In conference of considerable
length yesterday with Mr.. W. w.
Wood, Industrial agent OF the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad Company, We
learned several things which we feel
the people Of this city ought to know.
In the first place. Fairmont people
ought to realize that the city has not
made as rapid advancement within
the past few years as Its possibilities
and advantages would seem to warrant
one in looking for. Since that is the
case. there must be, some reason for
Il, Again. other towns Of no better
advantages, and indeed not so good,
have surpassed ours in the essential
points that go to make prosperous
city, namely. the location Of mills and
factories. That is Fairmont's great
est need to-day and Mr.. Wood is quito
earnest in his appeal for Falrmont peo-
pie to cooperate with him In trying
to place industries in this vicinity.
But Mr. Wood knows that there are
three or four things which stand as
barriers In the way OF the city's Inn
mediate and rapid development. None
of them ought to be insurmountabie.
Not one OF them ought to be in the
why II properly looked after. Among
the things Of prime importance just
now are ~ a means of access to and
fran F,airmont's only immediate avail
able factory, district, the beautiful
and extensive grounds of the Mononga.
hela Valley Industrial Company. (2)
A branch line of road through First
ward 10 avoid congestion in handling
freight from the factory district. (3)
Ample wharfage facilities for the de.
yeiopment Of The river trade.
The first Of these is on the way to
solution, but still not solved. A con
tract has been awarded for nav
bridge across the Monongahela, thus
connecting the two parts of the city.

WORRIED over
HIS FINANCES
FARMER HANGS

Tol1ey, N D., Oct. % The peace,
full little village of Tol1ey was hor-
rified to learn today that John Hakin-
son had committed suicide by hang
ing himself. to a rafter in the coal
shed adjoining the granary on his
farm. The exact cause of the rash
act is NOT definitely known, although
it is thought that worry over his a.
nancial embarrassment, together
with small crop was too much for
him to Withstand preferring death
to facing his creditors. 55sFg
Mr.. Hakinson enigrated from
Vermland, Sweden, about 1877, and
took up his residence near Farwell
Mimi, where he married and lived
until he came to North Dakota about
seven years ago and filed on his
homestead three miles northwest Of
Tolley, where he lived with his fam
lily since. He was a peaceful citizen
and neighbor, and no one ever sus-
pected that thus would he end his
career after sixty-fiye years of exist
ence. B, j

Peterson, the famous driver OF the

Williston State: The boat Bismarck
returned Thursday from its second
larger load than last time. 4.
1t is expected that this is the last
trip to be made by the boat, as they
are unable to buy grain. ..s
The captain says they have not time
to wait there a week while they, look
around the country for the grain, and
SO he expects to take the boat back
to Bismarck. Il.
The business men Of this city, or

should have had a grain buyer in that
district, thus saving much time.
