Found-An Honest Man.

The other night, while the edi-
tor of this great family journal
was at Bismarck. N. D., he in
advertently and unexpectedly
discovered an honest man-not
intimating, of course, that hon
est men are especially rare in the
capital city of North Dakota.
But the particular man we refer
to was an exception to the es-
tablished standard of honesty.
He came to our room in the Hotel
Mckenzie, one evening, and
asked us if we were a brother of
the late C. C. Knappen. On be-
ing assured that we were. he
said that several years ago, while
Z. C. was in business at Grand
Forks, N. D., he (the speaker)
had become indebted to Charlie
in the sum of 50, and that he
thought at this time the interest
on the debt would amount to
about 81. He therefore request
ed us to accept his check, made
in favor Of the widow of the late
C. C. Knappen, for the sum of
SIS which we accordingly did, in
admiration and amazement. The
name Of this exceptional gentle
man is I. C. Davies, and he is a
practicing attorney at Bismarck.
N. ". If the people are looking
for honest men, they will GER
tainly elevate Mr.. Davies to one
of the highest positions within
their gift.

Nice Notice from North Dakota,

Nice Notice from North Dakota
We see by the Sisseton papers
that O. E. Lien of that city, will
be a republican candidate for
auditor of Roberts county. Mr..
Lien was an early settler of Lien
township and has always been
active in every project for the
betterment of farming conditions
and the best interests of the
farmers. He is we'll qualified in
every way for the position and
has a host of friends on this side
of the line who only regret that
they are unable to assist him in
landing the place. If they have
any more genial and honest citi-
zens in Roberts county than O.
E. Lien, it hasn't been our pleas
ure to meet them. -Hankinson

A Sizeable County.

Roberts county, S. D., is the
largest county in the world :
Judging from the length of time
1T takes to get out Of it via the
railroad. Some days ago we
left Sisseton at7;30 D. M, bound
for Bismarck, N. D. After a
short lay-over at Milbank. we
proceeded on our journey. and at
$3.50 the next morning we passed
White Rock, still speeding north
ward. And if that doesn't war
rant a fellow in stating that Rob
erts county is the largest county
in the world, we don't know

Egan Draws Full House.

George Washington Egan can
didate for governor, played to
a full house at the opera hou Sc
last night and outside of being
a good actor" we cannot see
but what George is just like the
average Office hunting politician;
making promises to reform the
world and still unable to create
even a shadow of reform in his
own precinct. In the midst
of his speech the fuse burned
out in the electric light and
left Egan and his audience in
the dark, which of course put
Egan's playing to the galleries
on the blink, and as it is well
known to be his stock in trade
he was soon hollerin' for light,
that the audience might behold
the only "simon pure" /" dyed
in the wool' reformer, in cap
tivity.

A Decided Success.

Good morning! Did you attend
the leap year dance given by the
ladies of the Jubilee Dancing
Club at the opera house, Monday
evening? If you didn't, you
missed the event of the season.
1t sure was some dance. The
opera house was tastefully deco
rated in the national colors, in
honor of the day (Lincoln's
birthday; the floor was in excel
lent condition; the music was
furnished by the celebrated
Stewart orchestra. and the ladies
(God bless them) were at their
very best-all of which made the
affair one long to be pleasantly
remembered. About fifty coup
les participated in the festivities,
and everybody reports 'just a
dandy time" The decorations
were decidedly distinctive and
appropriate, and were arranged
by Miss Mabel Sweeney and Hub
Bollenbeck. The success of the
function was largely due to the
untiring efforts of Mrs. Arthur
Bennett and Miss Sweeney.
