N. P. Improvements. From the report of the chief engi neer of the road it is seen that eight een steel bridges, with masonry piers, have been completed by the Northern Pacific during the past year. Two hundred and sixty-two timber brid ges, measuring 4J miles in length, have been replaced by steel trusses, plate girders and I-beams, or embank ment. The company has altogether on its lines 3,534 bridges and open cul verts, with an aggregate length of 76 miles, including 119 steel, iron and stone permanent structures, having an aggregate length of about 5 miles. To June 30, all told, the company had replaced 2,970 timber bridges, exclu sive of culverts, having an aggregate length of 73 miles, and the cost of this work has been approximately 10 per cent in excess of the estimated cost of renewing the original timber struc tures. During the current year 15 steel bridges of considerable magnitude and a number of smaller structures will be built. By the end of the year all of the large truss bridges east of Bil lings, save two, will be permanent structures. The work of tilling the Cascade mountain trestles by sluicing has been continued, about 80,000 cubic yards having been deposited during the year.

The work of filling the trestles on the line between Logan and Butte is in pro gress. All of the tunnels on the main line are now permanently lined with concrete and masonry. New passenger and freight stations have been constructed at Little Falls, Minn., brick freight houses 50x252 and 60x342 feet respectively at Billings and Butte, several large warehouses at Tacoma and Seattle, and other buildings at various points. Farmers' Institutes. The season for holding farmers' in stitutes is now approaching, and I wish to call attention to the fact that funds for holding about twenty institutes are available, and any locality desiring an institute should make application for the same as soon as possible. The institutes held last winter were a decided success, but the time for making the necessary arrangements was too short in many cases. Let the farmers and business men talk the matter over among themselves, ap point a secretary who can take the matter up at once, specifying the time preferred for holding the meeting, and I will set about arranging a schedule conforming as nearly as possible to the requests of the various secretaries. The only expense will be for a hall, properly heated and lighted. All other expenses will be met by the state. 1 prefer to hold ten of these insti tutes before the holidays, so it is neces cessary to move quickly in the matter. The past season has fully demon strated the value of diversitied farm ing. The farmers' institute is just the place to get a few pointers on it. Send in your application early and you stand a better chance to get a meet ing. E. E. KAUFMAN, Director of Farmers' Institute, Fargo, I) Big Election Ballot.

ROOSEVELT CORRESPONDENT Likely to Lose His Job for Lying IWell's Letter. Mr. The Alert hears that some persons in the county do not believe that the correspondent who was with the Roose velt party ever sent such a libelous roast to the eastern papers as appear ed some time since regarding James town. TIiey say it was done by some local democrat in order to lay blame on the republicans. It is no wonder such an uncalled for slander aroused the condemnation of all. But the Roosevelt correspondent was alone guilty of-the trick and the managing editor of the Chicago Trib une writes to Mr. E. P. Wells as fol lows: "The man who made the mis take will not sin again. I am going to wait until the man who is with Roosevelt returns to Chicago. Then I shall require an explanation from him and on that explanation will de pend his position with the Tribune." As many have not seen the spirited reply written by Mr. Wells to the Tribune, and published in that paper, it is given below as follows: Jamestown, N. D., Sept. 18.—[Edi tor of The Tribune.]—There appears in your issue of Sunday, Sept. 16, in a dispatch from Bismarck the state ment that "J amestown is a village of twelve or more houses, half of them open to the wind and rain, an opera house, upon the stage of which a play has not been enacted for fifteen years" and several other and similar mis statements. The facts are that •Jamestown has an educated and intel ligent population of 3.000 souls there is not an unoccupied house in the town, nor one open to the wind and rain at no time in the history of the place has red liquor run in rivulets in the streets nor the "cowmen ridden in hundreds over the surrounding country." The opera house, built seven or eight years ago at a cost of over $65,000, from plans by Architect Cobb of Chicago, in elegance of ap pointment has no equal between St. Paul and the Pacific coast, and its stage has been occupied at regular and frequent intervals by leading ar tists and companies en route be tween the east and the Pa cific coast. Jamestown has electric lights, water supply, sewers, telephone system, two banks, nine churches, graded and high schools with an enrollment of nearly 900 pupils, a country club with golf links and tennis courts, and beside supporting two daily papers it reads daily about 300 copies of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chi cogo papers. The little city is more than 200 miles from the so-called cattle country and a ranchman or "cowman" is never seen on its streets. The farm ing community tributary, in its diver sified industries, its intelligence, and its capacity for forming intelligent judgment on the issues of public in terest, is, modestly stated, quite equal to that of any general audience that will be addressed by either presiden tial or vice-presidential candidate during the campaign, as witness the majority given in 1896 for sound money and honest government.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and thiB tube restored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an Inflamed con dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

Spoo num, a resident of Bismarck, with his family, consisting of a wife and two children. Spoonum was working on the painting of the elevator and with George Fortune was on a swinging staging. The staging was held by a hook fastened to the roof of the build ing. This hook broke, and Spoonum was precipitated to the ground, sixty feet below, his head striking on a rail in the track. He was insensible from the time of the accident until his death, about an hour later. For tune saved himself by grasping the safety rope. Spoonum also grasped for the rope but it swung away from him.

Max A. Wipperman, independent and democratic candidate for governor of the state of North Dakota, was born at Moselle, Sheboygan county, Wis., February 14, 18(50 attended the schools at his home and two years at the-University of Wisconsin at Madi son worked two years for .1. C. I ver son & Co., of Milwaukee. Wis., then went to Shawano as manager of the business of the Shawano Boot and Shoe Co.: in 1890 he came to Richland county, locating at Ilankinson be came manager of the Richland Roller Mills: in 1896 he went into the hard ware and furniture business with his father-in-law, W. Shipe, as Wipper man & Shipe, and is now sole owner of the business. In 1896 he was elected county auditor, and while the county gave a republican majority of 650, he received 180 majority, running on the democratic ticket: was re-elected in 1893 by 601 majority, the repul 1 can Scanlan's Speech. The band attracted a crowd to hear JnoS. Scanlan last night. The effort was a disappointment to many repub licans who wanted to hear an argu ment on living issues of the day, rather than spread eagleism and high sound ing terms about the war of the rebel lion. etc. He claimed credit for the republican party for about all there is good on earth and defined imperial ism as a democratic fake, while, in speaking of militarism, he seemed un able to comprehend the difference be tween a regular standing army and a volunteer soldiery, such as put down the great rebellion. His defense of trusts was too lame to please even his party friends, as he said the trusts were the putgrowtli of the prosperous condition of the peo ple, and that men with the nSOney got together to form such combinations, which had no connection with politics, nor with laws enacted to suppress them. Mr. Scanlan did not suggest as remedy for trusts the enforcement of anti-trust laws now on the statutes. There was a good audience at the start, but before the speaker had lin ished many had left the hall, tired of hearing more. As an Irish-American spellbinder Scanlan cuts little ice anvway. There's no beauty in all the land That can with her face compare. Her lips are red, her eyes are bright. She takes Rocky Mountain Tea at night. Ask your druggist. A New Scheme. Last week a farmer of Carver coun ty, Minn., was taken in apparently In a minister of the Gospel, under the following condit-ions: One evening a fine looking man in clerical garb drove up to the farmer's and asked for shelter for the night. The stranger admitted he was a min ister and said lie was on his way to visit relatives some 30 miles away. He made himself pleasant to the fam ily generally, asked the blessing at the table, read prayers, etc. The next morning another buggy arrived, this time bringing a young man and woman who wished to be directed to the nearest ordained minister. They were introduced to the minister and majority in the county being-450. He is an indomitable worker, a careful, shrewd and experienced business man, popular, and with an excellent record as a public servant. He is the first German-American ever nominated for governor of North Dakota, and the German-Americans are likely to show their appreciation of that recognition. He came to this state with very little capital, but by hard work and careful management he has amassed consider able property, including farm lands, besides his business property. lie has made a success in business and politics and if elected governor will prove a sat isfactory executive. IIis ancestors left nothing in their will for him, but sturdy manhood, bright intellect and an honest, kind disposition. He was born into poverty in the state of Wis consin, and therefore he is in perfect sympathy with those who have to struggle throughout their lives in order to bring both ends together. He is one of these few men whom we some times meet in the world, who never let a man pass him on the street with outgreeting hiin with a cordial smile, whether he is a lord or a beggar. He is in the field to win, and his prospects grow brighter and brighter daily. after some persuasion or. the part of the farmer's family, he married them, the farmer and family signing the certificate as witnesses, after which the newly wedded couple and the min ister took their departure in different directions. A day or two later the farmer was notified that a note of his, of which he had no cognizance, had been discounted at the Carver County bank, the amount being $450. He drove to town and found that the sig nature was indeed his, and the wit nesses his wife and daughters. The signatures had been required for the marriage certificate, and the fanner was out his $450. TRUSSES Are either a blessing or an injury, according to construc tion and the manner in which they are fitted. If they are the kind that are constructed on scientific principles, that can be prop erly adjusted, that hold firm ly without irritation, they will save «r.Ml:irtiini...M» tMmm ft I suffering, and may save life. A rightly constructed and fitted truss should exert a pressure identical with that of the hand. Many who most of their lives have worn trusses have com plimented us on the high character of our stock, and upon the carefulness of our fitting. If you need a truss we want to show you what we can do for you. 2 Wonnenberg & Avis..
