SAFE AND SANE.

Tomorrow is the Fourth Of July,
For the first time in it's history Fargo
has planned a real safe and sane cele-
bration. There will be patriotic ex-
e~rcises, oratory, parades, games, fetes
and other attractions. Through these
it is planned to preserve the lives OF
the youth and conserve their fingers
and hands and ,eyes-and return the
boys to their mothers whole and un-
injured.
The plan should have the endorse
ment n cooperation Of every man
and oma in Fargo. Men are want
ed for a parade tomorrow. Get in
lire. Help to make the day a success

FAMILIES or coNvIcTs.

There are radical changes being
made in the methods of handling con-
victs. IN North Dakota the military
system has been adopted and the
prisoners are courtmartialed for Of
f~enses--other prisoners sitting as
their judges.
In the state of Washington the hon
or system il in vogue Prisoners are
sent out to work On public roads with
out guards. The number OF escapes
is astonishingly small-and some OF
these who ran away, voluntarily re-
turned and surrendered. The old days
Of arnned guards may soon become q
thing Of the past.
The abolition Of brutal methods q
handling prisoners is an encouraging
sign Of the times. It means more hui
mauitarianism-and Is rich in promise

name of John Burke as the real CUB
ernatorial candidate OF the democrats.
No credence should be given such
idle talk. While both John Burke,
during his incumbency as chief execu-
tive, and Mr.. Hellstrom, as warden of
the penitentiary, have been rather
severely criticized for some of their
actions, they are men OF a higher type
than to become parties to such low
down political treachery, and some of
the insurgents whose political wishes
may give ~parentage to such thoughts,
may as well quit considering such q
diabolical plan.
Mr.. Hanna is entitled to the full
support this fall of both the warning
factions within the republican party Of
the state. Both he n Mr.. Buchanan
have gone before the republican voters
of the state in a most bitter primary
contest. The people have had ample
opportunity to become familiar with
the merits Of both men, they have also
had opportunity to become thoroughly
familiar with the principles they repre-
sented, and with all the facts and cir
cumstances that could be supplied from
both sides the republican voters by the
exercise of their sacred ballot have
chosen Mr.. Hanna as the banner bearer
of the entire party of this state this
Mr.. Hanna has a public career in
North Dakota of long standing. He is a
man who has made q gratifying success
of his private affairs. Establishing his
nome years ago IN a remote naInlSL OK
Cass county he rapidly came to the
front as a prominent character in stats
affairs. For years he was a. prominent
factor in the Legislature as q membe
first of the house and later of h sem
ate. He has been a worthy member
of congress from North Dakota, and
though muckrakers of b vilest type
have attacked his record they were un-
able to establish anything to his dis
credit. He is a man of high ideals and
is thoroughly familiar with the con
ditions of the state, he has never been
backward in putting forth his best
efforts for the welfare of his people,
and is just the type of a man to guide
the reins of state government through
the toughest sea Of political diorder.

CHAPTER XVIII.
At Cross Purposes.


It could not be considered an I'M
pleasant place of Imprisonment, yet
it, was useless for me to contrive any
plans Of immediate escape, for the
door was securely locked, and two
heavily armed dragons sat within eye
ing me rather malevolently. My at
tempt at approaching the window was
instantly checked by a threatening
gesture, and sat down in the reading
chair to await developments. The
could not mufle my ears, however,
and heard the swift hoofbeats of an
approaching horse being ridden furi-
ously up the gravel driveway. At the
door he was hastily checked, and a
voice spoke peremptorily:
Here you, take the rein!"
The fellow came up the steps hur-
riedly. almost ignoring the sentry at
the door.
IT haven't time to stand here, you
fool" he exclaimed roughly, my uni
form is pass enough. l wish to see
Colonel Mortimer at once-at once"
There was a pause, and then the same
voice, and I recognized it now as
Grants beyond doubt. "Ah, colonel,
what in Gods name has happened
here? heard that you were out
hunting us at Farrell's blacksmith
shop, and came back as swiftly as ]
could ride. But / never suspected
this. Who were the miscreants?"
"That is a question not yet an
swered, Captain Grant," replied Nor
timer slowly. 1T looks like the work
OF Pine Robbers. Do you recognize
this fellow?"
"Ay," and from the mufied tone he
must have been bending over the body,

indiscretion of such a suspicion.
"Oh, no, captain; you do the lady
