between leaders and bosses, and they
are easily distinguishable. We have
passed through an era which it might
be well for the fair fame of our
overlook but for the fact that it's
overthrow is proof additional of the
virture and courage of a righteous
people. We have always had machin-
es and bosses and always will have
them in some form or other but for
time at least the former are out of
commission and the latter are tabooed
1t is under circumstances thus al
most normidably favorable that the
Democrats, who are primarily if not
decisively responsible for conditions,
meet in a few days in Baltimore to
nominate their candidates for premier
places of power and service in the
government. The old party's face is
radiant with expectancy, its heart is
beating to the baton of victory's
music and its mind is clear to it's
duty. 1t will as stated before in this
series of letters be an open conven-

not blinded any eyes to a sense of
responsibility. Opportunity is not to

The men nominated will represent
the wisest and most patriotic Judge

of progressive people. They should
be of full party stature, strong for the
duties they shall be designated to
perform. No man, save he who reck-
lessly hazards, can predict by name
the winners. The man in the lead to-
day may be first dropped in the bal
loting, He surely will be if after due
consideration, he is not believed to

On the other hand he may on early
ballot be enthusiastically awarded the

by hearty encore, when jeanette, the
petite curly-haired, sweet-voiced little
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. T. B. Wright,
recited. She was heartily encored
and for the fourth time responded to
the applause, each time catching the
audience by her bewitching child reci-
tations.
Euodius Perry, in character song,
with "angel voices" in echo, with the
song "Old Black joe" received a
hearty encore.

vey From Wallace To
Webster And Through
North Dakota

There is more than talk in the Min
neapolis and st. Louis railroad looking
toward Webster for increased BUSH
ness. We are quite reliably informed
that a gentleman visited Wallace this
week and arranged for men and teams
to take care of a surveying party
which will leave Wallace the last of
this month and correct the survey
made a couple of years ago up into
North Dakota going through Webster.
Supt. Bayard of the road was in
Webster Tuesday and had a consulta-
ton with several of our business men.
None of the gentlemen interested have
anything to offer for publication.
From the reports in the past few
months in all of the caste IN papers it
looks verv much as though the Mime
apolis and st. Louis is going up into
North Dakota and are going to branch
off somewhere from their present line
from WATERFOWL to Aberdeen. We
know of no section of country that is
more productive and more in need of
a railroad than that traversed by the
proposed line from Wallace north to
the North Dakota line.

Former Chief Police of Webster
Gets Bad Wound in the Neck
From Knife in the Hands
Boyd Tooley, Colored,
From Ho1mquist.

Monday evening when the passenger
train coming east pulled out of Bristol
a bunch of negroes who had been cele-
brating boarded the train. They had
not purchased tickets to Holmquist and
the conductor insisted upon having the
ten cents extra that the company orders
when fares are paid upon the train.
The negroes objected and made some
trouble and j. V. Martin, who was on
the train and is an officer at Butler was
pressed into service by the conductor
who desired the men arrested and
brought to Webster. Mr.. Martin made
the arrests and was bringing the men
here for appearance the next morning.
Just as the train neared Holmquist
n of the negroes rushed behind Mr..
Martin and plunged a knife into the
back of his neck and then he and the
others made a break for the door and
jumped off the train. The baggageman
stopped one, James Stewart, who was
brought on to Webster.
DR.. M. C. S~chendcker happened to be
on the train and stopped the flow of
blood from Martins wound and upon
arrival in this city took him to the city
hospital where Doctors Schenecker and
Herman dressed the wound, and Martin
is now getting along very nicely and
unless blood poisoning sets in will be
out and around in a few days.
James Stewart, the negro who was
brought to Webster was placed in the
city Jail. Tuesday morning Chief of
Police, Garrick and j. j. Adams waited
upon him and told him that Mr.. Martin
was in a very precarious condition.
Stewart immediately denied all inten-
ton of anyharm and gave the name of
he man who did the cutting.
Garrick and Sheriff Lindquist went up
to Holmquist and found Boyd Tooley,
the mar accused and brought him to
Webster and confined him in the county
Jail. Tuesday afternoon Tooley con-
fessed he was the man who did the
stabbing. The hearing is today.
"Jack" Martin is at the city hospital
and is getting along in fine shape.
