The Insurgent machine breaks down.

The Insurgent machine breaks down.
1t is to be feared that the campaign
prior to the Minot convention has
disposed OF the future Of Sid d.
Adams as a political manager. Thorn.
as F. Marshall undoubtedly secured
the services of Mr.. Adams to manage
his literary bureau and act as his
personal manager with the particu-
lar point in view Of profiting by Mr..
Adams personal popularity to carry
Ransom county.
Mr.. Adams entrance into the polit-
ical arena was announced with fam
flare Of trumpets: he was to "raise
the methods to higher standard"
and be to North Dakota what Theo.
dore Roosevelt was to New York.
Alas! Mr.. Adams has met his Wat
erloo early in the game. The Stall
warts carried Ransom county four to
one and he was defeated in his effort
to 60 as delegate to the county con-
vention from his own precinct at
Lisbon.
Perhaps Mr.. Adams will net be dis
couraged over his essay to reform
politics. but 1t is very awkward to
have the Marshall machine. of which
he is the chauffeur break down be-
fore it got off tie city pavements and
onto one country roads.

A Startling Debut.

A comedy of errors describes the
drst appearance on the stage of Mr..
Huntley Wright. He was supposed to
tmpersonate the warder of mad
house, and the scene opened with the
brutal Ill treatment Of the hero, and it
ended with gunpowder explosion. In
his nervousness the warder dropped
his cap, and, being agitated and short
sighted, he picked up the pan Of gun
powder instead. 1t instantly blew up,
nearly frightening him out of his wits.
He rushed from the stage and col
lapsed, as he thought, on a stool in the

INIQU1Al OF THE TARIFF.

II IL our present tariff system"
| which Governor Johnson denounces
in his speeches, etc. The inference is
plain that tariff system is not In
itself an iniQuity. but the present one
Is so. The democrats solicit from the
voters the task Of abstracting the In
EQUITY from the system and leaving II
pure. The trouble with this de-
nouncement and this plea Is that 1t
will fall on ears that have been de-
ceived by the same cry before. The
democrats got hold OF the tariff In
1893 and shook the iniquity out of
It. They found that 1t amounted, on
the average, to three per cent. But
In disposing of the iniquity the DEM
ocrats disposed OF everything else of
value in the country. For three per
cent. reduction In the tariff the busi-
ness of the country gave itself dead
>away--and 1t remained dead and
away until the republicans returned
and galvanized 1t into life.
II Governor Johnson Is going to be
a sure enough candidate for presi-
dent he ought to quit making noise
like spellbinder and get down to
facts. Is he in favor of a tariff sys-
tenn at all? Is a tariff iniquitous per
Sc, or Is 1t only the Dingley tariff that
IL crime-soaked? Answers to these
questions would put the governor out !

plenty Of room here. In fact there Is |
q vacant lot where should be the
crowd Of democratic statesmen who
know and can tell what are their

For a new revenue system for the fed
aral government.
The last time the Democrats re-
'ormed the tariff is so comparatively
'ecent that men stiA young have a
'ivid recollection OF it. and those who
we're not old enough to realize the
disasters OF the Wilson bill as a per-
onal experience, have learned of It

nent there may be for tariff reform
Is safe to say there is not much de-
nand for tariff revision at the hands

kindergarten to the high school in their
studies
The enrolment registers l26 in the
Central school, l59 in the Ellis school
and LOG in the Second Ward school. This
number will undoubtedly be increased
during the month. There are quite a
large. number Of foreign scholars who
come here to take advantage Of the ex-
cellent instruction afforded.
The crying need of the school is for
more room. In the 9TH grade there is
seating capacity for 48 pupils and So are
crowded in the room. The high school is
filled and five pupils are obliged to occupy
seats in the recitation room The law
compels the attendance OF children and
that puts it up to the citizens to provide
place for them.
The out Of town teachers are located
as follows: Iva Borner at E B. Laphams,
Cora Adams at Mrs F. E. Barnard's,
Edith Shaw at Dan Skellengers, Ida

A BIT OF HISTORY

"reminiscences % Sfxty-Six Years Ago
Man Frozen TO Death
Lyman Luscombe was down town one
day last week. He is an old resident Of
Otisco township, seventy-eight years old.
In conversation with him as to how long
he had lived here, he stated that it was
sixty-six years ago he came to the town
ship and the winter which followed was d
cold one with deep snow, making it very
hard to get out around in those days when
there were but few roads and few settlers.
He said that he we'll recollected the cir
oumstance Of man freezing to death on
Wabasis lake that winter Il was in
March and the man was making his way
from Washtenaw county through here to
David Gilbert's in the Tower neighborhood
in Oakfeld. He said the man was max
ing the journey on foot and came through
from Lyons that day, stopping at his
neighbor's, Samuel Combs, the farm
where Frank White now lives, quite late
in the afternoon, where he got lunch
and bowl Of bread and milk. He said
he wanted to get to the Tower place that
night, but Mr.. Combs tried to have him
stay until morning, saying that it would
be impossible to reach there as it was so
cold and the snow deep, but he thought
he would try it. A few days later an
Indian and squaw discovered the body on
the lake partly covered with snow. frozen
to death. They went to Mr.. Towers on
the bank of the lake and told them that
''che moka man was dead" and finally
persuaded Mr., Tower and other early
settlers near there to follow them to the
place. It was then soon found to be Grin
Gilbert, the brother Of David Gilbert. He
had evidently become exhausted after
reaching Wabasis lake and was unable
to get only half way across.
The editor was much interested in this
bit Of history, as Grin Gilbert was his un-
Gle and many time when boy he had
heard his father, Smith Lapham, and his
uncle, David Gilbert, recall the incident

A M u s E NJ E N Il s

Fred Raymond's big melodrama, "Old
Arkansas which comes to the opera
house on Saturday. Sept. l9, brings with
it the highest possible recommendation
from both the press and theatre managers
where it has appeared, and we can assure
our people Of rare treat in the theatrical
line
"Old Arkansas is brain bath, as re-
freshng to the mind as a cool bath is to
the body at the close Of long summer
day. 1t is pretty play, filled with roll
licking, numerous characters. There is
not dull moment in the play. To descend
to slang, There's somethin' doin' all the
while"
No show that has visited our city in the
past has brought with it such a large and
reliable amount Of recommendations as
"Old Arkansas" and IL our people want to
see one OF the best things that has ever
visited our city, see "Old Arkansas"
