Devils LAKE MAN
>.F|NOS lNO|AN MOUND

Devils Lake, N. D., July 6.-An
Indian burial mound, perhaps the
best from a scientific standpoint yet
discovered in this vicinity, was re-
Gently unearthed at the Chas. Hol-
linger farm In Morris township
The mound stands right by the
house where the family lived for
many years, but as it appears as a
natural hill it never excited any
curiosity. Recently in digging,
skeletons were discovered and
further investigation proved that it
was regular native cemetery.
The bodies were evidently deposit
ed between tiers of stone, several
sometimes being placed in the
same trough. slab Of artificial
stone, resembling lime mixture
was placed above to seal the grave
and five or six feet Of dirt shovel
ed over that. The skulls, es,
pecially, are in a state Of remark
able preservation. In one all of
the teeth except one in the upper
jaw in the front are intact.

NONPART|SAN LEAGUE
SWEEPS THE STATE

The NOnpartisan League won tho
biggest political victory at the prf-
maries on Wednesday of last week
ever won in the state Of North Da-
kota. and fully proved to the world
that the farmers OF this state CAP
get most anything they want il
they go after 1t. Every candidate
endorsed by the league came oft
victorious. and in mostly. all case9
the league candidates received moro
votes than all their opponents put
together. In only one or two In
stances did the league candidates
lose out for the legislature, and It
is estimated that big majority Of
the lower house at the next session
In other words the league will
have full control Of the legislature
next winter. This is the first TING
in the history of the country that
the farmers Of state organized,
and the sesults OF their campaign
here this year were watched by
people from all over the country,
Now that the farmers have demon
strated that they can have things
their own way If they only get to-.
gether, it is generally believed that
in the future this state will be
controlled by the league. and not
by bankers, lawyers, and other
classes of business men. 1t was
big victory for the farmers, and
they are feeling highly elated over
1t.
The two league candidates for
the legislature in this district won
out by big majority. and Staale
Hendrickson of Coteau will be the
third member of the lower house.
Lawrence Larsen won the nomina
ton over Lars Nelson by about 100
votes for county treasurer, w. c.
Martin won over Thomas Peterson
and Geo. Dolphin for clerk Of court.
The balance Of the county candi-
dates had no opposition. In the
second commissioner district 1t ap-
pears that Erickson is about six
votes in the lead of Kostad for
commissioner, but this might be
changed when the canvassing board
finishes it's work. John O. Grubb
was nominated for commissioner In
the third district without opposi-
ton. The complete Burke county
vote will be published in The Trib-
une as soon as the canvassing
board announces its findings.

CONRAD RETURNS
FROM TRIP WEST

Chas. w. Conrad returned on
Sunday from Kalispel and Poison,
Mont. where he spent about a week
visiting at the home of his father
and at the same time looking over
the country. He found the elder
Conrad comfortably located at Kali
ispel, well satisfied with his sur
roundings, and in good health.
The balance Of the family were in
about the same condition. While
visiting his father Charlie took a
trip by steamboat to Poison to sc !.
'akftan : Biekford and soc Mahpsys
both former residents of this city,
and found both doing splendidiy.
Mr.. Bickford is in the real estate
business, while Mrs. BCkford con-
ducts an up-to-date ladies' furnish
ing store. Mr.. Matulys is more
than going after things in the drug
business, and seems to be doing
everything there is to be done in
his line. He is enjoying tremen-
duous business, and his store seems
to be the most popular pla'e in
Poison. During his stay in Poison
Charlie learned that an old Indian
by the name of Big Snake and AL
len Bickford were the only two
Indians in the Flathead country
that really knew how to fish. They
could always get a big string when
the others came home emptyhand-
ed. The crops there all look good,
both the grain and fruit trees. hav
ing done better this year than they
have done for some time past.

The Mcdonald Bros. show here
on Friday Of last week was pro-
claimed by all who saw it to be
absolutely rotten. and our people

allows to play in this city. He in
tends to look up the shows before
granting them license to show here.

spending a few days here on busi-
ness. While here he secured the
contract for furnishing 400 large
ash trees to the city Of Flaxtop. for
planting on the streets, the same
to be shipped next spring. 1.-THE
Flaxton city council had investigat.
ed the class Of trees shipped here
by the various nurseries,, and found
that Mr.. Brown was more entitled
to the patronage Of the people here
than were any Of the other tree
men. Mr.. Brown was unable to
stay here as long as he would have
liked to, and he >eft his entire
business here In charge of B. A.,

WHY NOT MARION?

A PROMINENT political statistician admitted yester.
~ day that the result Of the second district election
was a clear indication that the Republican party
would carry every county in the state at the general cleo
hon with the possible exception of Marion. This coming
" Il. does from such a source is worthy OF consideration.
II brings up one point, however. Is It not possible for
course, the odds are very heavy. The Democrats have
The machinery In power, they have unlimited financial
lneansE in this section; but, even so, there is a very excel.
lent chance for the Republicans to sweep ta:s county
along with the others.
Good, hard earnest and united effort will overcome
money and the machinery Of office. Marion counyt Re.
publicans are united. Each and every member Of the
party Is fighting for the good of the party at large. There
are no factions. II every man will get out and do his
fall, we believe that there is a splendid opportunity to
land the county for the g. o. F.
The Democrats came into power here by reason Of an
unfortunate split in the ranks Of the Republicans. Their
Victory was not a true victory. Would It not be a great
accomplishment for the Republican Of Marion county to
gain a clean;cut decision at the general election?
You, Mr.! Republican citizen, are sick and tired of Dem.
bcratcs misrule and mismanagement. You do not want
to allow the Democratic party to continue in power. 1t
ts upIto you whether they shall or shall not. What shall
the answer be?
Let every loyal Republican rally to the standards. Let
Every true member Of the party Of Lincoln and Mckinley
consecrate himself to the work Of bringing a Republican
victory here. Let every man from this day forth bend
avery effort to gain the desired end. We believe that the
hshttng spirit is aroused in every Republican in this
