Well, here we stand onct agi1
on the thresh-hold of another year
as we might say. Here we stand
at the entranct to the year Of 1912
which is about to bust in on US
with all its wonderful opportunit-
ties & possibilities. Here we be
right at the beginning Of mother
glorious per annum of the goth CEN
fury A. D.
stretching ahead in front of us
is IL months or So wks. or 365
days or one yr & what be we a
going to do with all this time which
stares US in the face we ask? Are
we agoing to make new resolush-
ions to live a better & nobuller life
and do somethink to make up for
lost time? Are we agoing to take
time by the forelock and live ac-
|cording to the dicl1tates of our own
Conscience or are we agoing to
slump along in the same old mean
way as we have did heretofore do
ing dirt to one another whenever
we git the chanst and taking adj
vantage of our nabers in every
transackshion we have with EN- jest
like they would take advantage of
us if they got the chanst7
Are we a going to pursue the Al
mighty Doller as fast as we can
pursue same regardless of homer
or integrity and endeavor to put
salt on the tail feathers of the Eagle
or are we a going to pay more at
tens1ion than heretofore to doing
good in the world and try to argy
ourselfs into the belief that it IS
better to have a clear Conscience
than it is to have riches? There is
some folks in Bingville who will
have a turrible hard time of it try
ing to convince theirselfs that
clear Conscience is rather to be pre-
ferred than great riches. Most
Bingville folks we know don't keer
a dad-bing how smeared up their
conshiences is perviding they kin
have a few dollers in their pockets.
Most of our most respeckted citi-I
zens would be willin to smooth up
their conshiences with evil doing
until they couldn't get the stains
out even with gasolene so long as
by so doing they could make few
cents and we could mentchion their
names too if we had mind to and
we callxilate we will mentchion their
names if they don't pay up their

AS we as editor & prop of the
Bugle stand gazing into the fuchure
of 1912 we don't seem to see much
to hope for. The past year jest
closed has been a awful struggle
for us and we don't know whether
we kin weather the financial
storms of 1912 or not. We have
sweat blood as you might say to git
out the Bugle onct week during
/ the past year and there has been
times when we thort to goodness it
wouldn't come out until the week
after. Old Dad Henderson who
has been a faithful subscriber to
the Bug1e sinst 1874 and aint only
paid for the first year he took it
stopped us on the street tother day
and said he couldn't git along with
out the Bugle being as he read it
faithful every wk. and couldn't
skeerce1y wait until it come out.
Dad asked us if it would be askin
too much to publish the Bugle twict
per week instead of only onct and
we had to stuff our hands into our
pants pockets and walk away to
keep from hitting Dad a smash in
the face old and INDECENT though he
be. IF Dad knowed what a turri-
bic chore it is to git out the Bugle
even onct week he'd be ashamed
to mentckion twict per week and
whoever makes SIGH sujjestchion
to us agin does so at his own risk
of life and limb.
In conclooshion suppose if you
make emmy new resolooshions this
year you resolute to pay somethink
on what you owe us on back sub
scripshions and thus cheer up our
faint heart & tagging SPIRIT. En-
nythink in the way of money thank

scribe for the Bugle resolute to pay

intellect. He will also be here some

The third attraction will undoubt-
eddy be the University OF Wisconsin

citation owns big building with a

paper men Of Fargo and Moorhead at
which Mr.. Gunckel will be the guest
of honor.
The last number OF the course win
be Frank J. Cannon, first u. 8. SEN

vital interest which attaches to this
subject Though a great deal has been
said and written by teachers of the
past, yet many are dissatisfied with
the conclusions reached, and are look
ng for still further rolling away of
the mists that becloud the great be-
yond.
E. P. Taliaferro, the noted lecturer.
of New York, is promised as the
speaker of the occasion. He is a man

theme he Is discussing and has lectur-

Biblical topics.
He has no theory or speculatfons of
his own to advance, but reasons from
the scriptures and from the facts in
life, and offers satisfactory founda-
ton for every view advanced.
we are assured that the lectures
delivered by Mr.. Taliaferro are en-
tirely free, no collections are taken
nor any admittance fee charged. all

M'BRIDE TALKS
ON POSTAL SERVICE
SUPERINTENDENT or THIS DIS
TRlcT or THE POSTAL SERVICE
VISITED FARGO - MET WITH
BUSINESS MEN-cANNoT ACT.
IN THE MATTER.

Frank f. Mcbride OF st. Paul, the
superintendent Of this division Of the
| postal service was in the city yes
terday and talked over the postal
service out Of Fargo with a number
OF business men.
| At the postoffice the superintendent
had a conference with the postmaster
regarding certain service for the local
office. In the afternoon he met a
number of business men at the COM
mercial club to discuss the service out
OF Fargo on the Southwestern and
500 lines.
AS the situation now stands Fargo
jobbing houses have been receiving
very poor service north on the 500.
Mail leaving here In the morning
would sometimes not reach towns on
the 500 until after twenty -four hours
Twin city job houses have been able
to compete with the Fargo houses
relative to mail service.
1t appears that the 500 line train
which runs north from Valley City
leaves that city twenty minutes before
N. p. train No, 3 reaches Valley City
in the morning. Train No carries a
lot of Fargo mail and any mail for
500 line towns north OF Valley City
on No. 8 must lay over there twelve
hours OF more.
The division superintendent cannot
do anything for the benefit Of the
Fargo business men. The only way that
there can be a change made Is to have
the time of the trains made different
and thus give Fargo better service.
A representative Of The Forum in
quired at the postoffice today to Sc
cure information for the merchants and
business men regarding under what
conditions they could get the best
mali service out of here on the 500.
Mail placed in the postoffice in the
afternoon not later than 4:30 and |
at the least can get out on the 500 |
line towns that same evening. The |
letters will leave Fargo on No. i of |
the N. p. and be transferred at Val |
ley City. Packages being mailed here |
in the evening cannot get out until |
the next morning going west and miss
connections at Valley City by eigh- |
teen minutes.
If the business men of the city are
careful they can also secure fast serv-
ice to Chicago. BY posting the mail /
with the local Office at not later than
8 D. m, the Chicago mail will get out
on No. of the Northern Pacific and |
will reach the windy city at 10:SO the
next morning. making remarkable
time.

Topeka, Kan.--Legally dead, but act
ually alive, William H. Cooper OF Gar
nett is appearing before the United
States pension officers trying to prove
that he Is alive, although the RECORDS
show that he died while in the service
of the government during the civil war.
Senator's Curtis and Bristow have en-
listed in the effort William II. Coop
err went to the war but returned home
on sick furlough. When the time came
for Cooper to return to his regiment he
was too i'll. His brother, Samuel Coop
err, volunteered to go as his substitute.
He Joined his brothers regiment and
when the name of William Cooper was
called Samuel Cooper responded
| Here"
The substitution was explained. SO
1t was that Samuel Cooper continued
to serve as a soldier in his brothers
stead until he was taken sick. Samuel
Cooper was sent to a field hospiS4ne'
der his brothers name. There he u Ii,
! He was buried as William II. Cooper
Meanwhile, William II. Cooper has in
| fact been living in Anderson county
AS he has advanced in years, ne
has been overtaken by desire to sci
| his own military record right in order
that he might die with an honor
able discharge from the United States
army. Cooper is striving to secure al
honorable discharge through depart
ment. the records of which would be
accepted in court as evidence that ne
has been dead half century. ut Is
not a pension am seeking" Cooper
said to Senator Curtis. "it is an hon
orable discharge"
