That the little bunch of socialists who
represent Milwaukee has been the
governing factor in the present legisla-
ture is too well emphasized to merit
contradiction. They made the sppor-
tionment bill, and in fact were used to
carry the underground schemes of most
of the tlattering politicians who blazed
the way for big appropriations and
other schemes the people will pay for.

PHILIPPINE VET.
gets A MEDAL

Grand Forks, N. D.. April 10.-Dep-
uty Sheriff H. M. Fisher is feeling
justly proud Of a congressional medal
for loyalty which arrived this morn
ing. These medals were granted at
the request of the late President Me-
Kinley as an appreciation of the 10y
atty and patriotism of the members
of the Eighth army corps who re-
manned in the service during the Fill
ipino instruction in Luzon.
This corps had enlisted only for
the war with Spain and their term OF
service expired with the making Of
the treaty of peace Nevertheless
when the instruction broke out. they
went to the front and remained in the
seryiee while their country required
them. Mr.. Fisher was a sergeant In
Company NJ, Thirteenth Minnesota,
which formed a part of the Eighth
corps and he was one Of those who
stayed by his post although his time
OF enlistment had expired.
1t has taken quite lang time for
Mr.. Fisher to receive this well de-
served recognition, but the war de-
partment is very exact in the matter
OF investigation in order that no mis-
takes should be made.
The medal is made of bronze. On
one side it bears the inscription,
philippine Insurrection 1893" and on
the reverse side are the words For
Patriotism, Fortitude and Loyalty"
The recipient may well feel proud
over this very high recognition.

PRISONERS SAW
WAY OUT OF JAIL

Bison, S. D., April 10.--George Dively
and Andrew Parker. two prisoners con-
fined in the Perkins county jail at BIZ
son, made their escape from that insti-
tuition by saving through an iron bar
by means of a silver knife and then
prying off a bar which held the outer
door to the Jail. The escape was ef-
fected between 1870 and 900 o'clock
at night, as Deputy Sheriff Ellefson
had been absent from the jail about
that time, and upon returning at 900
found the cell empty and the prisoners
gone. Dively, who is described as
about 81 years old. feet inches in
height, blue eyes, light curly hair and
a light mustache, weighing about 165
pounds, was in Jail on a charge Of
grand larceny, committed at Lennon.
Andrew Parker, who was held on a
charge OF burglarizing hemesteader's
shack, is 26 years old, weighs about
las pounds, is feet inches tall, has
light hair and blue eyes.
Dively is well supplied with monsy.
as he had $1,000 on deposit in the
Farmers State bank at Bison, but drew
It out, on some pretext, few DAYS
before the escape. 1t is believed the
prisoners had outside help to enable
them to make their getaway, as no
trace has been found of them. Mrs.
Andrew Parker, wife Of one Of the
prisoners. spent the day they escaped
in Bison, and 1t was thought she may
have aided Dively and Parker, and she
was placed under arrest but later re-
leased, as no evidence connecting her
with the escape could be brought to
light.

ORAL PARK.

Grand Forks, N. D.. April l0.-A
joint committee Of the commercial
club municipal committee appointed
by Mayor Murphy to look into the
matter of extending the city limits,

posed OF Aldermen Wadsley, Sorlie and
Salisbury and City Attorney Wine
man, were instructed to investigate
the matter.
This committee met with the NUM-
cipal committee of the commercial
club, composed of Messrs. Dinnie, o.
M. Webster, Lander and DIR. Healy,
and the propositions set forth by va
rious property owners were threshed
over. The joint committee has prac-
tically decided to extend the city lin
It's, so as to take in :he university
and the cemetery property.
The question has been raised
whether In extending the city limits
IL would be best to include the prop
erty of the state fair grounds. This
matter will yet have to be decided
It has been proposed to include the
fair grounds and the property be
tween the north line of the fair
grounds property straight east to the
Red river.
The committee of the city council
will report to the city fathers on this
matter on Tuesday evening, and will
report in favor Of annexing the uni
versity and the district in the vicinity

fair grounds being included in the ex-
tension will probably be left to the
decision. of the council.
