these cunning fishermen were always
planning some mischief for Jimmy
Coon.
You see Dick Otter and Benny
Mink were two Of the most wonder

they always laughed atN Jimmy Coon,
because his basket of fish was never
as full as theirs.
So Jimmy Coon said to himself.

And as he cantered along the edge
of Chestnut Grove. he saw Jack Crow
sitting on top OF a dead spruce: and
he called out Jack Grow, will you

Here he told his family of his plan to

And rather Coon exclaimed. "Jim-

in Towner county have volunteered
their active support of the Republican
candidate for congress.
Thus the sentiment of the district
continues to assert itself with ever
increasing effect. From day to day
encouraging reports keep coming in,
unanimously indicating not only that
the Townley candidate Is losing
ground, but also that Olger B. Burt
ness is steadily advancing.
1t is one Of the most interesting
phenomena of the present campaign
that such a great number of Non
partisan league men, while still in the
main remaining loyal to the league,
repudiate its leaders and the man who
was chosen by an irresponsible
minority to be a standard bearer.
There Is only one Interpretation
possible-and that is that the league
membership is coming to think indie
pendently.
Burtness Highly Pleased.
Mr.. Burtness himself who spent a
few hours in town yesterday enroute
from Cass to Pembina county, ex-
pressed surprise at the rapid increase
of supporters which had beer report
ed from various parts of h district.
He felt highly encouraged, and the
fact that such great numbers of vot-
ers are rallying to his support. will
undoubtedly put even more zest into
the vigorous and energetic campaign
he now Is making.
This morning the Olger B. Burt
ness headquarters employed an ad-
ditional staff of clerks, and as the
officers at headquarters proved too
small, additional space was obtained
in an apartment on the second floor of
the Normanden building, P. o. Thor
son, chairman Of the Republican cam
paign committee, supervises the work
done by the greatly increased clerical
force, and thousands Of letters are
going out every hour of the day.
North Counties Next.
The Republican candidate left last
night for the north. Today he was
scheduled to speak at Drayton. Penn
bina, Cavalier and other towns in
Pembina county. Tomorrow's sched-
ule for Walsh county ia as follows:
Hoople. 10 a. M; Edinburg. 1880
p. M; Fairdale, 3 p. M; Adams, S
p. M, and Park River, 8 p. m.
Saturday was q busy and strenuous
day for Mr. Burtness who toured the
southern part of Cass county, accom-
panied by r. M. Pollock, a leading
progressive Republican. and Judge B.
NJ. Spalding, former member of con-
gress. The meetings of the day were
largely attended, and Mr.. Burtness
had an opportunity to point out his
stand on national affairs to the voters
of Cass county. Reports coming from
the southern part of the state say Mr..
Burtness spoke impressively and that
his campaigning appears to have had
a telling effect. He was eloquently
and ~convincingly seconded by Mr..
Pollock as we'll as by Judge Spalding.
Burtness is Feeling Fine.
Yesterday Mr.. Burtness said that
he never felt better in his life than
at the end of the past weeks cam
