Next week the Prohibition party Gel
ebrates its fortieth anniversary with
parades and speech making out in
Chicago. Its recent successes will
centre the nations attention on it.
While as national party it has been
somewhat of failure, in local politics
it has cut a broad swath in recent
years. 1t will probably be many years
before it will be able to muster it's
adherents in genuine national battle.

Baltimore Snu.)

He tied up bundle of winter clothes,
And he quietly stored some meat;
And how he came through it the good
Lord knows
AS he watched from His mercy seat,
He cuddled the Eskimos under his
wing,
With a gumdrop twice day;
Then he left the rest to a heavenly
king
And silently stole away;
The man without a band was he,
To blazen his venture from sea to sea;
But an earnest heart and level head,
And bunch of dogs and a steady sled.
He took some horse-sense and some
grit
And he waited till things were right;
And he used his brains and he used
his wit,
And he kept his mouth shut tight.
He made no boasts of his daring plan,
But he stuck with a hero's zeal
To the high resolve of a manly man
On mission sublime and real;
There was no tarra-boom-de-ay
To wake the world when he went
away
And nobody says that the welkin rang
With noise and buster and clash and.
clang.
He made no fuss and he raised no cry.
But he laid in plenty of fat,
And walrus hide and pumpkin pie
And pemmican and all that.
He picked good dogs, and the Eskimos
That he won to his mission great,
He knew they would stick till they
froze their toes,
If he used gumdrops for bait:
Two barrels of candy, and not a band
SO he sledded and sledded across the
land.
And the frozen seas and the lifeless
world
Where naught but the icebergs swan
and swirled.
So many tried it and always failed,
Though the bands they hired were
fine;
That he said, as he packed his buds
and sailed:
III try something else in mine!"
IL was death to the left and death to
the right,
-AiiN' NSoIh III II OllI dllu rear,
And death in an unknown frozen night
But faith in his heart burned clear;
Faith in his heart and God in his soul
No bugles to blow or drums to roll;
Just plain, sweet, quiet ways to win
In world where only God had been.
He wandered away when no one knew,
And only his heart knew best
The spirit that guided him safe and
true
To the goal of his dauntless quest.
And this is the lesson from end to
end:
That the quiet and earnest deed
Where spiritual purpose and science
blend
Is the thing that the ages need;
Is better than trumpets of brass and
drums,
And better than fuss when a hero
comes;
For the man who conquers with heart
and hand
is the man who conquers without any
band

WAS he A Detective?
LEFT here SUDDENLY Y

j. F. M. O'Connor. who represented
himself as the advance agent of a New
Jersey canning factory, left Dickinson
suddenly on Sunday. and people are
wondering now what his business was
in the city for three long weeks.
Previous to coming to Dickinson
about the middle of August. O'Connor
had been in Bismarck for week or
two, where he received letters of intro
duction from Gov. Burke to some of our
citizens. A committee was appointed
by the Commercial club to wait on
MIR. O'Connor and see what he really
had in the way OF a manufacturing
proposition, but it was soon s,lrmised
that he knew nothing about a canning
factory and the matter was dropped.
The gentleman stayed on and apparent
ly was having the best kind of time
in Dickinson. He was pleasant, a good
spender and paid his bills.
The fact that Senator Simpson left on
No. 4 Sunday for Boston and Mr..
O'Connor on the next train has led
some to think that he was interested in
the Dan Russell case. However, this
is a mere guess.

autoed out to Ok up the auto that ought

GLADSTONE DAe0 ROW
RESULTS IN ARREST

There was one big row in the Italian
camps at Gladstone last Saturday even
ing. Report has it that the regular
section crew Of six was pitted against
the extra gang of IT'S. A few shots
were fired and one fellow sustained
two flesh wounds. The trouble stared
by one fellow stealing a little of the
other fellows wood. Six arrests were

On Tusday Attorney H. C. Berry went
to Gladstone to get the crippled man
out of trouble and succeeded. The ex-
animation was held before Justice A.
F. REILLY and wholesale number of
witnesses were called. The fact was
brought out that not all of the guilty
parties had been arrested. In fact, the
justice concluded that he had best to
apply the term riot and thereupon fined
the whole crowd.
States Attorney Mcbride stated
Wednesday night. that he had not issued
any papers in the matter and that he
knew very-little about..it other than by
hearsay and what came to him over the

WHAT wheat GAMBLERS
DO FOR THE Farmers

The annual mark down of prices of
grain is now going on at the Chicago
Board of Trade. this is in conformity
with the plans of the gamblers and the
elevator trusts.
Before the days of the board of trade
the method used to rob the farmer of
his toll, was to take from him by physi-
cal force. all of the products of the
sweat of his brow. leaving him just
enough on which to live until the next
crop. this was in the days of the rob-
Der barons
Today we have civilization, the
methods of despoilina a farmer are
more refined, the board of trade men
figure Out about what a grain grower
needs to carry him until next crop, then
by the use of lies, circulated in the
press. showing an immense crop pro-
duced. the price of grain is manipulated
to point that will deprive the pro-
ducer of profit, leaving him only a
subsistence.
The question of dealing with this
problem has been fully worked out by
the society of equity, who have been
educating their members to pool their
crops and market them at a fair profit,
by control of the selling, so adjusted
that only the demand from day to day
is supplied.
While the equity members know what
to do, there are thousands of grain
growers who do not, they will not lis
ten to what the society teaches. per-
haps they will pay attention to what
men of national prominence have to
say.
Senator McCumber stated recently on
the floor of the United States senate,
THAT plan was on foot to plunder
the producers of grain. and that they
must combine, use all of their force as
a unit, stop the dealings in future,
and relegate the gamblers to Jail if need
be, but stop gambling they must if they
would prevent themselves from being
reduced to serfdom.
The society of equity will guide the
farmer through the struggle and bring
him to the safe and honest market fol
his grain.

MORE WATER USERS
ARE wanted BY CITY

Our citizens will be pleased to know
that Supt W. J. Littlehales has got the
city water supply down to a basis where
it shows profit of SIS per month. Al
least this is practically the record for
July and August.
His report for July showed 1864, III
gallons of water used for which the city
received $415.45, against total ex-
pense for coal and labor of 1898. 48,
leaving net balance of $2l.98. For
August. 1, 098, 400 gallons of water was
used, for which the city received 1884,
IS, against a total of expense OF $268. :
4S, leaving net balance of $126. II.
In addition to this the city had on hand
the first of September is tons of coal.
Thus it will be seen that the average
net revenue to the city for the two past
months has been better than SIS per
month.
There are about $50 users of water in
the city at the present time and there
ought to be 30 more at least. The
present water supply would take care of
100 more very nicely and it would make
a fine revenue for the city.
The resident users, at cost of so to
35c. per 1000 gallons. are the class that
make the profit for the city. Some of
the down town places get into the
10, 600 gallon class, with rate of 20 to
15c., but it is figured that the actual
cost of pumping is 13c. per /. 600 gallons.
