Letter Drives
Man Mad

A letter received by Eugene Nor
mand, a Kenmare miner from
his wife in France, whom he had
deserted several years ago, drove
him stark mad. Normand was ad-
judged insane and was taken to
JAMESTOWN by: Deputy Sheriff Hoffine
and Mr.. Montgomery last week. Sew
eral years ago, Normand left his
wife in France, and eloped to Amer
lea with another woman. He lived
with this woman as his wife in Pit
tsburg for some time, and later de-
serted her for another. The other
day he received letter from his
wife, telling him that she forgave
MIN all, and that she wished that
ne would return to her and their lit.
tie ones. The letter was so mex-
pected, that for sheer remorse, the
man went stark mad, and is now a
raving maniac. He imagines that
every man he meets is his father
and every woman his mother.
Normand was struck over the
head with a beer bottle in Montana
several years ago, and this may IN
a degree be cause of his mental
arrangement.

The meeting OF tn city council
Tuesday evening was full Of intrest,
and work was done with great dis
patch. VIM. P. White was granted
the right to erect brick block, 50x
$50 feet, at the corner of Reishus
and Second streets.
A resolution providing for the
building of certain cement walks by
the city, was adopted and work or
dered to commence at once. The
City Fathers are determined to see
that good cement walks are placed
over the entire city.
The ordinance providing for the
grading of Welcome street from
Sixth street south, was passed at
its first reading.
A resolution to extend the sewer
system was passed, and bids will
be called for soon.
An ordinance providing for the
erection of a foot viaduct over the
Great Northern tracks, was passed
at it's first reading. The viaduct will
commence at the south end of Anne
street and land on Main street. The
Great Northern will stand half of
the expense of the viaduct which
will cost about $4,000.
Attorney Schulz appeared before
the council and pointed out the fact
that owing to the insufficient number
of catch basins on Belyea avenue,
the Meyer Lumber yard is often
flooded and he asked for extra bas-
ms. The matter wasreferred to the
proper committee.
Judge Murray reported having
collected $205 in fines and this mon
ey was turned over ITO the city and
his report accepted.
Mr. Murray called the attention of
the council to the fact that no
light has yet been placed at the
foot of the G. N. viaduct. The
electric light company has promised
to see that a light is installed as
soon as the power is increased.
The report OF the appropriation
committee was received and accept
ed. The committee first figured that

A MOTHER WRITES

About week ago there was an
article in one Of the Minot local
papers written by a doctor. This
doctor stated that many people who
could barely support one child
were trying to clothe and care for
six. Money to him seemed the most
necessary commodity for health
full existence.
1t seems to me that the things Of
earth that are free are more con-
ductive to strong bodies than mis-
sion furniture and medicine.
Fine surroundings have become a
Rtish with humanity and therein
lies the secret of much immortality.

came as a natural result-"most

$4,000, but the aldermen did not see
fit to do this. Mr.. Nestos stated that
an effort was being made to secure
a. Carnegie library for Minot and the
association was trying to secure
enough money to pay for a lot, as
we'll as furnish it.
Another election is to be called

Gently held and carried for the

Quite a gathering Of the Republl-
cans, including several of the editors
OF the Northwestern part of the
state, was held at the opera house
in this city this afternoon. They
xere gathered for the purpose "
aiking over plans for the campaign,
and patching up any breaches in he
political fences if any. The best Of
feeling prevailed at the meeting,
everyone attending expressing him
self as being in favor of electing the
Republican ticket from top to bot
tom. State Chairman James Johu-
son was chairman of the meeting
and John H. Stenersen, secretary.
Secretary Thompson of Fargo,
secretary of the Republican Execu-
tive committee was present, and ex-
planned a plan whereby a poll was
being taken in every precinct in each
county in the state, giving the poll
cies of the voter, his nationality, and
such other facts concerning him as
might be useful in a strenuous cam
paign. Little books have been pub
lished, which may be sent to each
precinct. The work will be done by
the precinct committeeman assisted
by the candidates.
Chairman Johnson stated that the
main object of the meeting, was to
ascertain where it was necessary to
do work in the republican sause and
devise ways and means of accom-
plishing this work.
From the speeches which were
made by men in different localities,
the Independent learned that there
is absolutely no danger but what
there will be a Republican victory,
only they do not want to appear too
confident. It will be necessary for
every Repu bhcan to get out and
vote, for the Democrats were never
known ITO stay. away from an election
only in rare instances.
1t is generally believed that Ward
county will go Republican three to
one.
E. c. Cooper, the present Insur
ance commissioner, who IS a nominee
for reelection, was present, and stat.
ed for the benefit Of the newspaper
men present, that during the past
it was possible for him to distribute
only 81 insurance statements in
Ward county but with Bottineau
and McHenry counties in another
Judicial district, it would be pos
sible to distribute 70 in this county
next year. Mr.. Cooper stated that
he would distribute the statements
in accordance with the wishes of the
county organization.

Person Talks Of The West

While in the west, as a private
with Co. D, Major Pearson had an
excellent opportunity to study the
western conditions, and having done
so, he comes back to Minot feeling
better in every way towards our
thriving little city. There is little
in the west that surpasses what we
have right in North Dakota. The
scenery may be a little different and
in some ways more magnificent, but
the opportunities here are away and
ahead of those of the west. Not
much is raised with the exception Of
fruit and there is a tremendous lot
of poor country all thru the west,
fit for practically nothing. The west
ern climate seems to be quite gener-

ally misunderstood by those who
have never been there. The boys in
camp were compelled to arise in the
night and secure extra covers in or
der to keep warm, and in the morn
ing, they shivered as they went to
drill. The dust arose in the faces of
the men nearly suffocating them.
The Major thinks Seattle is a great
city, but believes that the city will
be dead after the fair next year,
Seattle depends almost entirely on
her coast trade and especially that
of Alaska. Tacoma is a growing
city of $4,000 inhabitants, having
Increased from $4,000 in the past six
years. Spokane is also a thriving
city.
