ANOTHER oLp1IMER GONE,

The passing Of John Flittie to the
Great Beyond, which occurred in viii.
liston on the 21st instant, marks the
removal of another of the old time
characters of territorial days, and of
early state hood. John IFittie was
the first secretary of state for the
state of North Dakota. He was elect.
ed in the fall Of 1899, and took office
upon the establishment Of state gov.
eminent.
Mr.. Flittie was of a quiet, unassum-
ing nature, and exceptionally well
posted. He was a lawyer, though new
er practicing extensively. At the time
Of his election he was a resident of
Trail county; but later moved to viii.
liston where he resided at the time Of
his death.
Mr.. Flittie a a straightforward
gentleman and figured in the councils
OF the construction OF the state, and
his death marks the passing OF anoth-

While it is natural that we all regret
TO see the fleeing years of youth pass,
and with q pang of sadness realize
that we are gradually facing the set
ting sun of life, yet there ia genuine
pleasure In the realization that the ma.
turing years finds II able to look
back over Il busy and well spent life.
Such is the cast with Uncle John.
ny" Soaring, cashier Of the Fargo For.
UNI, who celebrated his seventy-fourth
birthday on Tuesday OF this week, and
who for thirtylthree years has been
connected In some way or other with
that publication.
It was away back in 1878 that Mr..
Soaring, a man in his prime, entered
the Office of the Fargo Republican. He
saw it through the palmy days of pros
perity as well as through the days OF
adversely and final failure. Over
twenty years ago the writer set Jud
,Jordan's copy Oil that sheet, and Uncle
Johnny was just as busy and just as
happy then as he is now. ~
Time ran along, things didn't 60
right, the big fire came, and the Re.
publican went into a decline. Major
Edwards and II. G.. Plumley were push
Ing the Forum pretty hard Finally
through one cause or another the Re-
publican got cornered and it was TAX
en- over by the Forum. Uncle Johnny
went with it. Somehow, the writer
went too, and for some time was one
OF the six men who set up the Forum
by hand every day. There was one
smiling face always around the instl-
tuition; it was that Of Uncle Johnny.
No matter whether one had a sour
stomach, a big head, had lost in poker,
been turned down by sweetheart, or
had a general crouch, Uncle Johnny's
smiling countenance was there push.
ing back the clouds for the day.
Uncle Johnny is a sincere Christian
and is V e or the alert to do good in
any way possible to help a fellow man
along.
He is still on the job, lively as a
cricket, and no bigger than a half pint
of cider. He is true blue, courteous,
full Of business, and can deal with the
hard customer, leaving him in good
spirits.
Here is hoping Uncle Johnny may
live many years and be blessed with
good health to serve his employer, the
public and his Master, and when his
time to Strike a balance in
the ledger OF life it will be with the as
surance that it will not be one cent
off and that it will show a large
amount of assets in the good things of
life.

which Mr.. Elakcmorc Is particularly in.
terested is House Bill No. 80. a constitu-

Mrs. Alice Nelson Page the vel
known newspaper worker from Grand
Forks has arrived in the city and is busy
in the interests Of the woman's suffrage
movement in his state n states tina
she is well satisfied that 4 law extend
ing the right to vote TO the gentler sex
will be passed at this session Of the leg
islators. Mrs. Page is well posted on
all public subjects and there are few
women Of the state who could have been
sent here to work in the interests Of the
bin who would have had more influence
with the members Of both houses. There
appears 10 be a pretty general senti-
for woman's suffrage will meet with but
little opposition at this session.
Some of the members are becoming a
little restless n there is more or less
talk of another short adjournment in the
course Of a few days. Some have ad-
vanced the idea that it would be a wise
idea, to adjourn Friday afternoon until
the following Tuesday. At that time
there win be plenty Of work to keep the
committees busy for q few days and
those members whose business interests
demand that they be at home for a short
time can take the trip. The next ad-
journment will probably be the last at
this session as there is work enough in
sight after that time to keep the law
makers pretty busy.
