happened with rather a peculiar accident.

prairie fire and took out the mail bag from
the rig in order to get some sacks out to
use as means of extinguishing the blaze.
and while he was fighting fire left the mail
bag on the ground near the rig, where it
caught fire during his absence and no part
of it was saved except the lock and other
irons which he brot to town.

the republican candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Cooper is especially qualified for the
important position he occupies owing to
the fact that he has made the subject of
insurance life study. Since he has held
the position of insurance commissioner the
companies permitted to operate in North
Dakota have been subjected to the closest
scrutiny, and the people who have resorted
to protect their interests with life and fire
insurance have every reason to feel conf
dent that their interests are ably safe
gaurded.
Ever since he has resided in the state
he has been an ardent worker in the ranks
OF the republican party, and from the fact
that he has been such prominent politi-
cal worker, and because of his successful
career as public official he has gained a
gratifying and popular acquaintance all
over the state. At the last election he
proved tower of strength to the republi-
can ticket, being elected by the largest
majority of any candidate on the ticket,
demonstrating beyond all possible doubt,
the profound respect and absolute conf
dence the people had reposed in him, all
of which being true it would naturally fol-
low he will he reelected at the coming
election with practically the same rousing
majority.

Candidates Get Equal Show?

That all candidates get a fair show ac-
cording to the new primary law which goes
into effect when the voters make known
their choice June "a, at the polls, is not
certain. According to one clause of the
measure each candidate will have his name
placed at the top of the list an equal num-
ber of times. 1t has been conceded among
many candidates that the name which has
the top position has an unfair advantage
over the remainder.
A mathematical problem will soon con-
front the county auditors when ballots are
ordered printed, that some will probably
scratch their heads over There will b..
changes in legislative and commissioner
districts and the rotation of candidates
names besides. The distribution will be
another rather difficult job as every voting
precinct must receive an equal number of
the different forms and there will lie
several. Fargo Call

How to Kill Your Town.

NlSk
Keep kicking.
And don't quit Kicking.
One pull one way and one fother.
Go to other towns and buy your goods.
Denounce your merchants because they
make a profit on their goods.
Knife every man that disagrees with you
on the method of increasing business.
Make your own town out very bad place,
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for the
betterment of the material interests of the
people.
Tell your merchant that you can buy
your goods a great deal cheaperin in another
town and charge him with extortion.
Keep every cent you get. and don't do
anything Of public nature unless you can
make something out of it directly.
When you say anything of your town say
it in such a way that it will leave the i'm
preston that you have no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers to the ex-
clusion of your own, and then denounce
them for not being as large as the city
papers.
Don't we need more backbone for the
interests of humanity? Not spinal col
umn that cannot yield or bend; but upright,
and that will fearlessly express upright and
just opinions-a gentle, honest steadfast-
ness, which is cruel never.
The village dads passed a resolution at
their last meeting to hire an attorney to
make complaint to the interstate COM
merce commission in regard to the discrim-
ination in freight rates between Sentinel
Butte and Beach. All freight to Beach
has been shipped under Montana rates in
stead of Dakota which makes our freight
rates much higher here than at Sentinel
Butte. This should have been looked
after long ago and we are glad that some
thing is to be done at last.
