TWO OP A KIND. Knights Templar Have a Fraternal Keaet, and the Odd Fellows Knjoy a .lolly ISanquet. Wihaha Commandery, No. 4, K. T., Jamestown's most prominent fraternal organization, held another of their periodical feasts Thursday. It was given in honor of G. W. Ingraham and F. G. ToplitV, and the newly elected officers of the order. Tho former attained their last degree in Masonry last evening, thus becoming Sir Knights—an event which is frequently made the occasion of a little social whirl at the conclusion of the reg ular lodge room ceremonies. In this in stance the meeting was an uncsally happy one, into which all entered heart ily. The refreshments were served at the Capital house, where Captain Ingra ham had arranged a very substantial supper, aud where all details were sue* cessfully looked after by the ladies of the hotel. Following the feast, numerous stories and short talks regaled the mem bers until the nour of departure arrived.

NORTH DAKOTA* THURSDAY MARCH )9 1h91 THE NEW WAY OF VOTING. The New Election Law Itevolu lionizes the Manner of Con dueting- Elections. Likewise, Hie Old Manner ol Candidates Getting Before the People. The Expensive, Complicated System for which the People Cla mored. The New i'JIeotloii Law Probably the most important measure passed by the last legislature is tho elec tion law. It goes into effect July 1st and ali general elections for stato and county officers come under its proyisions, It is a motlified form of the Australian law and completely revolutionizes our present mode of nominating candidates for office and conducting elections. It is an expensive system, but the people clamored for it. When the bill was un der consideration it was stated—with just how much accuracy it is impossible to stay—that it will cost iSl-U) K) to hold an election under its provisions. Anum ber of good amendments were proposed to the bill when it cam© down to the house the last week of the session, but the friends of the bill would not hear of amendment.They were afraid it would die in the hands of a conference committee as the bill did a year ago. The question then became one of an expensive Austra lian system or none at all and mimy members voted for it against their juo^ nient because of the public demand ft imething of the kind. The system is not without its advantages, however. If it have any disadvantages the test of the next election wiil make them apparent. There are forty sections in the bill. Nora inations of candidates for state offices are to be certified to the state auditor and in counties to the county auditor,by the officers of the nominating con vent'on or by certificates signed by 200 electors when the nomination is for a state office and by not less than fifty voters when the nomination is for a county office. These certificates are to be at any and all times open to public inspection. In the case of state officers the secretary of state is to certify to each coun ty the names of all candidates and the party or principle they represent. The county auditor must publish all nominations in the official newspapers vice, ten days prior to election. Blocks of printed ballots in sufficient number to allow three ballotB to each voter, and containing names of all candidates, are are to be stamped as "Official and given voter conclusion of work in the Initiatory de- can be voted, and, in case a ballot is gree, but Messrs.

Eli Perkins on the Great Northern How few people, writes Eli Perkins, in the Pittsburg Dispatch, begin to comprehend the magnitude of James J. bill's Great Northern railroad. Here is one man who has gone to work and created 3,500 miles of railroad in a new country. What a citizen is James J. Hill and what wealth and prosperity he has brought to this republic. The peo ple should put his bronze monument in the capitol. Where does the Great Northern rail road run to? It carries corn and pork from Sioux City on the Missouri to Du luth ou Lake Superior, it drains all the wheat from Minnesota and North Da kota, south of luanitoba into St. Paul and Minneapolis. It brings silver and cop per from Helena and Butte. It brings out the wheat from Aberdeen, Huron and Ellendale and the whole Jim river country, and puts it down at Duluth or St. Pnul, and in a few months it will be at Spokane Falls, Montana, and in the Palouse country and among the timber at Puget Sound. Wonderful road! And this has been done by one man's eneigy nd brain. Mr. Hill has not been in Wrshington begging for an appropria tion. He took the old Hag, pinned it onto a locomotive, picked out the good land on the continentand built a railroad to it. He has added $500, (X)t,K)0 to th« nation's wealth. Oakes Ames worked well, backed by an appropriation, and Jay Cook went down bravely, but this Hill, Hon. James J. Hill, all alone, has actually spanned the continent with an iron road. He has done it like a king. He is a king of thought, and will and magnificent ambi tion. Lucky Indians. Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Major Waugh, the genial Fort Totten Indian agent, was in the city Wednesday. He says the wards of the government in his charge are well provided for at the pres ent time. The Indian trouble in South akota was a good thing for the Totten Indians, as their appeal for food and clothing this winter was answered with a promptness almost unknown in the history of that department. A special appropriation of $9,000 was made for their benefit about the middle of January, which came at a very opportune momeut us their supplies were about exhausted. 7 I hey have been given rations twice month since theu and those who needed it have been supplied with clothing, Congress also agpropriated 980,000 to pay for 64,000 acres of land which the Indians sold the government. Seed grain will be furnished the Indians this spring and if they get a crop it will put them fairly on the road to prosperity. There will be about 2.000 acres of wheat sowed on the reservation, nearly all of it on new land, and their old land wil be summer fallowed. They will also be en couiaged to raise other grain and veget ables. Mr. Wangh expects every family to raiee at least hd acre of potatoes, Beed I Eddy 4 7 7 1 ^If ll'^''S*'l^l^l|ffl^W^^!fl#/l,f1*"'•'"*'*" NORTH DAKOTA VETERANS.

Veterans at LiNhon. The second annual encampment of the G. A. R., department of North Dakota, opened at Lisbon Tuesday. The city couucil appropriated 8500, to help defr the expenses of entertainment and the city is doing itself proud. Yesterdaj's train brought a large number of old soldiers from all over tho state, together with Gov. A. H. Burke and Department Commander George B. Winship. They were met at the depot by members of Abercrombie Post No. 11. Battery A, DJ N. G., the First Regiment band and a large number of citizens in carriages. A procebsion was formed after the usual military formalities, and beaded, by the band, the visitors and their hosts pro caeded to the Headquarters hotel, bat tery A firing a salute of seventeen guns from the baseball grounds during the mar"h. All the visitors then went to the post headquarters, where they registeied and were assigned quarters. At 1 o'clock the council of aduiirnstra tion of the department held a sh«irt ses sion after which an adjournment was taken to the opera house, where the reg-' ular business session was opened. Last evening a reception and banquet was given Governor Burke and Com mander Winship in the opera house, the attendance being very large. The First regiment band furnished music durii the reception and the Lisbon orchestra rendered a select program during the banquet. After the banquet the follow ing toasts were responded to by the gentlemen whose names are appended: Oui Union—The Queen of the World and the Child of the Skies—S. G. Roberts.

The State Fair. Messrs. Sanford of Jamestown and Will of Bismarck, attended a meeting of the state agricultural board, of which they are members, at Grand Forks, Tuesday, as provided by the law govern ing the board. No other members were present and organization was therefore delayed for .ck of a quorum. The leg islature failed to provide any appropria tion for an agiiculturalfair this year, and consequently it is a matter of uncertainty whether one will be held or not. At least it is doubtful if Grand Forks gets it, as the agreement to Heed to the state 80 acres of land and to erect suitable buildings without cost to the association has never beer, complied with. There is a move on foot to give Fargo a chance to entertain the people of the northwest by a big fair. If a good crop should re sult it is believed a successful fair can be held some where in the state, without legislative assistance. Advertised Letters.

Minneapolis Journal:The Northern Pa cific has evidently adopted a new policy in its attitude toward state legislatures. Last week eight members of the house committee on insane, and eight others, including Sergeaiit-at-Arme Henry Plow man, took a trip to Fergus Falls to visit the institution at that place. Yesterday Mr. Plowman received a bill amounting to 8183.88 for the transportation of the party, from Charles S. Fee, general pas senger and ticket agent of the Northern Pacific railroad, and asking the speedy payment of the same. The governor has signed so far 129 bills, seventy-four of which originated in the senate and fifty-five in the house. There are eight bills still in the hands of tho governor, which he is holding for the return of Attorney General Spencer, so as to consult with him in regard to their constitutionality. This makes the total number of bills passed by both houses 187, seventy-nine having been introduced in the senate and fifty-eight in the house. The eight bills in the bands of the gov ernor will probably not be considered until after the twentieth. The death of Hon. George II. Hand removes from the Dakotas one of the best, known and most enterprising of citizens. During territorial days he was a frequent visitor to North Dakota and took an active and leading part in all state and public affairs. He settled in Yankton in 18G5, and always was to the front in works of enterprise and benevo lence. He was appointed register of that land office in 1872, and two years later was made secretary of the territory a position he filled for eight years. He was a prominent Mason. Col. F. A. Gale, a prominent banker and politician of Yankton, Buicided by shooting in the Merchants hotel Wed nesday afternoon. He left a letter say ing he had lost all his money on the Chicago board of trade. He was the gentleman who became well known by his prominence in militia company mat ters, and rode the handsome little mare, Nellie Gale, at the encampments. He was appointed by Gov. Church on his staff, and wore the finest uniform in the organization. Col. Gale had an addition to Bismarck,—but the cause of the deed was as reported above. Ex-Senator Pierce is in a quandary, says a dispatch to the Minneapolis Journal. He has more positions offered him than five men of ability can till. The editorship of the Minneapolis Tribune has been tendered him on a silver plat ter. A position of a similar nature is open to him in Chicago, and President Harrison has offered him the choice of three foreign missions. He has tele graphed Mrs. Pierce for her advice.There is something like 815,000 per annum sal ary attached to each of the foreign mis sions and Pierce fears that the news paper business will not pay him any thing like this sum. There were two democrats in the late house of representatives who were severely censnred by the friends of re submission for their neglect of the cause they represented. These members were Triplett and Cope of Richland county, who left the last day of the session on a delayed train after promising to stay and help finish the fight. Their votes were needed in the plans of the license men and their unexpected absence caused a great deal of sharp comment. Both members were aided in their election by license men. As has been well said po litical promises are but ropes of sand. Tne democrats have far more reason to blame the members of their own party for treachery and secret hostility than they have the republicans who were gen erally consistent from a party stand point. Representatives Frank White, and C. J. Christianson, and Senator Weiser cf Barnes county, were given a reception last Monday night by the citizens of Valley City. The academy of music wan crowded. Resolutions indorsing each aud every act of all the members were unanimously adopted, and amid much enthusiasm the meeting continued to a late hour, speeches being made by many prominent citizens. The special reason lor the general rejoicing was the secur ing of an appropriation of $30,000 for the erection of a state normal school at that point, one-third of which is to be paid out of the stato treasury, and the balance from bonds it-sued against the congres sional donation of 50.001) acres of land given to this school, and which bonds are guaranteed by the state. The board selected a site and the work will be begun at once. Bismarck Tribune: Jud LaMoure didn't draw the long term, but it would be a reckless prediction that he cannot come back again next time if he so de sires. Redisricting makes no differ ence with Jud's chances. If any of the farmers of his district kick because more of their measures didn't get through. Jud will point to the journal and the record and show how he didn't have anything to do with the rules and how, in fact, he opposed them and said that later in the session the farmer members would see the error of their way. Jnd was a re submissions, but there are those who are bold enough to declare that on the question of repealing the {enalty clause in the present law be was in line with the sentiment of his district—opposed to it—appearances on the surface to the oontrary notwith standing. Jud, nor John Haggart, nor Bailey Fuller, nor Bidlake, nor Little profess to be exclusive cha unions of the farming interest, but their votes on many matters and measures are nearer in line with the real interests of the ag riculturalist* than the votes of many whose professions are onder, but who, in reality, represent a short-sighted con stituency. 1 f«i ... it TV!
