THE FIRST POSTMASTER.
jfaaws Johnson Told How He Was Flrrt Post
master at Ward.
Minot Reporter: "Well sir," said
State's Attorney James Johnson to The
Reporter a few days ago, "I hold as
a souvenir the first commission ever
issued to Ward County, 'lhc document
now has no partucalr value to me, but
I shall keep it for a keepsake of the
early lays in the history of our coun
try."
Upon further inquiry -as'.-to par
ticular corhmissibn referred td,, Mr.
Johnson continued:
"I wa^s located at the point that is
known as Burlington, and in fact, 1
was the only settler there then for
many miles around. In those days we
had no mail service, and one day it
dawned upon mc that we (the popu
lation) should have a postoffice. To
accomplish this 1 needed a petition
with a lot of signers—but, where to
secure these was another question.
But I got them. I went to Bismarck
one day, in the time when Colonel
Lounsberry was presiding over the
destinies of The Bismarck Tribune,
and on my way there had every moth
er's son whom I met. attach his name
to the paper which was to be forwarded
to Washington praying for the estab
lishment ot a postoffice in my town, i
met Colonel Lounsberry upon my ar
rival at Bismarck and showed the pe
tition. He glanced it over and remov
ing his pinchers from his nose, in^
quired: 'What, do all these people re
side over your way?' I staggered for
a moment for an answer. I finally re
plied. 'no. but' I expect they all will as
soon as we get the postoffice.'
"The colonel took my document and
carefully tucked it away in his inside
pocket. Later on he took it to Wash
ington and handed it to the depart
ment. Months passed by and I was
kept in suspense as to the outcome of
my prayer. One day. however, I re
ceived several letters through the 'lo
cal postoffice.' the business of which
was conducted in a large dry goods
box on the barren plains, and among
them was one addressed to 'James
Johnson. Mouse River, Dakota Ter.'
It was an 'official letter' from Wash
ington. I opened it and found, to
gratification, that the department had
granted my desire, establishing a post
office and making me the first post
master in Ward County. I had sug
gested five different names in my or
iginal document from which to choose
one for the new stamp foundry and
that is where Burlington derives its
name from.
"At the time of the creation of the
new postoffice. General Gresham was
postmaster general. In discussing a
proper name for the new creation with
his first asisstant. who was no other
than the late Frank Holton, formerly
editor of The Burlington, la.. Hawk
eye, the postmaster general suggested
that it be named "Burlington,' after
the city from which Mr. Hoiton himself
hailed from.
"My commission accompanied the
appointment. It was duly signed.-by

HOW TO TELL POISCNK.
"A simple way to determine the pur
ity of candies or the freedom of them
from poisonous dyes," remarked C. A.
Everhart this morning, "is by rubbing
off some of the coloring on a moisten
ed handkerchief and letting it dry.
Then, if after washing it. and the dye
or coloring will not come out you may
be sure the dye is coal tar and not fit
to eat. All vegetable dyes are not fast
colors and will disappear in the wash."
When the pure food law jvent into ef
fect Everhart & Co. sent a list of the
J.yes it was using in the manufacture
of candies to Professor Ladd. He told
the company what dyes were not coal
tar and therefore admissable into the
state. The company found that only
.'our out of nine dyes then in use were
noninjurious. When Mr. Everhart told
his candy makers to destroy the others
chey said they might as well quit as the
company could never compete with
outsiders with the four remaining dyes.
Vegetable dyes were soon discovered
md while they cost more the company
is glad of the pure food law and is sat
isfied with the way Professor Ladd is
enforcing it. The result of the test qf
fhe
Everhart candies, twelve 'suspected
samples of which were secured at
Yerxa's last week, was a pleasure to
the company. Each of the twelve sam
ples selected from fifty varieties made
ijy Everhart & Co. and on sale at
Yerxa's proved absolutely free from
the coal tar dyes.

"PECULIAR SUIT.
Hankinson News: A peculiar bit of
litigation occurred last week in which
local authorities were involved. It
seems that ten year ago Olaf Ramsett,
then a resident of Sweden, gave a note
to a local merchant for a store bill
amounting to 500 kroners, payable on
demand to bearer with interest at 5
per cent subsequently he moved to
this country and settled in Roberts
County, where he acquired a farm re
cently he disposed of his interest there
and started for Canada, loading a
couple of cars here two weeks ago
the note had meantime been sent to a
mutual acquaintance for presentation
failing to collect the note the latter
turned it over to Attorney Turner of
Sisseton, who in, turn sent it to Attor
ney Strohm and the letter by attach
ment tied up Ramsett's goods here
pending a settlement of the claim at
the same time an action was brought
before Justice Herbert to recover
judgment for the amount of the note
and interest, which being in excess of
$200 placed it beyond the jurisdiction
of the justice court. The attachment
papers had been served by Marshal
Heley, and Attorney Dwyer, who had
been retained by Ramsett, raised the
point that the attachment was illegal
and that a village marshal had no
authority to serve papers of this kind,
and in so doing was guilty of a misde
meanor. He secured an ordy from
the higher court restraining Justice
Herbert from going further with the
case and also caused Marshal Heley's
arrest for exceeding his authority. The
latter case came up before Judge Dow
at Wahpeton but before the matter
came to trial a settlement was effected*
the plaintiffs in the matter of the note
paying the costs incurred and retaining
possession of the promise to pay. The
case against Marshal Heley was di$*|
missed on motion, and Ramsett

DECIDED AGAINST DAVIS.
Nebenkdi Davis Lost His Case For Damages
And Win Appeal.
Minot Optic: The Dinnie-Davis
damage case went to the jury late yes
terday afternoon after about two hours
the jury returned a verdict for the
defendants, Dinnie and Jacobson. The
verdict was a great surprise to every
one, as a disagreement was looked for.
This Case has attracted a great deal of
attention as the principals are among'
the most prominent people in the city.
A motion will be made for a new
trial and if this motion is denied an
appeal will be taken.
Mr. Dinnie said tonight want
to express my hearty thanks to the
jury for their fair treatment and the
just* manner in which they performed
their duty toward Mr. Jacobson and
myself. While I never had the slight
est fear but what we would win out,
still the verdict was a great relief. The
case cost me $1,700 but I still have
moncM left.
NORTHWEST SUPPLIES.
Commercial West: The Commercial
is not able to figure out much above
30,000,000 more of wheat in the north
west to come to Minneapolis and Du
luth. As early as August this paper
said Minneapolis and Duluth would re
ceive 85,000,000 net of spring wheat on
this crop as against 110,000,000 on the
last crop, a decrease of 25,000,000. Thus
far on the crop Minneapolis and Duluth
have received 55,000,000 bushels of
spring wheat from the three states,
which would leave 30,000,000 to come to
next August 011 this basis. We are
unable to find anything to date to war
rant changing these figures at least
nothing to warrant an expectation of
more wheat than this to come forward.
The mills of Minneapolis need from 40.
coc.ooo to 45,000,000 bushels to grind,
based on present averages, and admit
ting that the present averages will not
be sustained for the crop year, it would
still seem to. be necessary to import some
wheat in order to fill out the needed
suppiy.

DR. STOVER WILL MOVE.
LaMoure Chronicle: Dr. J. H. M.
Stover was in LaMoure Tuesday, he
having driven overland from his claim
up near Mohall, in Ward County. Mr.
Stover on Nov. 28, made final proof
and on the following Monday started
for LaMoure County arriving at the
Baxter Stover farm on Sunday. Mr.
Stover made about forty-five miles a
day. and says the roads the other side
of Jamestown were in much better
shape than those between here and
that point. His two daughters. .Irene
and Evelyn accompanied him. He will
remain here about three weeks and
will then move to North Yakima,
Wash., where he has purchased some
land near that city. The doctor says
he is going to have one of the finest
fruit farms in that part of the country,
When he gets there. E

Minot Independent: E. J. Depring

filed an injunction on the Norstrum
coal mine, one of the best in the state,
and it has been closed. He filed on the
land a few days ago. The filing had
