Bishop Walker of tbe North Dakota Episcopal diocese, is cruising around the historical points on tbe Mediteranean sea, and was off the African coast on a steamer Feb. 10. He will visit Tarkey, Smyrna and the Holy Land before re turning home. Col. W. F. Bull of Fargo has consented to become a candidate for Mayor at the request of an influential delegation of business men. Col. Ball's former admin istration gave such satisfaction that he is wanted again, and does not see fit to deoline tbe request to serve if elected. It is said that English investors in Argentine have foreclosed on most of that country's last year's wheat crop to settle debts and losses to the amount of at least 8125,000,000. That is one reason why wheat went on tbe English market at such a low figure, from the South American state. Grocery men say that never have groceries been as cheap as at present. A little money goes a long ways now, and a little money is harder to get thqn when it did not buy as much. Jamestown merchants present the public with pre haps the cheapest line of groceries in the state, and trade is drawn from 50 to 100 miles on account of it. Water is beginning to show above tbe ice next to the banks and the ice to rise in the center of the river. At present no .water is running over the dam at the flour mills, and remnants of snow drifts still remain on the spill-way. But with the continuation of the pleasant weather the last vestige of winter will disappear to give room for spring. As indicating the state of tbe cigar trade, Dennis Murphy of the St. Paul manufacturing firm of Hart & Murphy, is now on his first trip to the coast since last September.

Croekill, a school district treasurer of Barnes county, residing four miles east of Spiritwood. for school funds lost by the failure of Lloyds bank. The suit includes two bondsmen as well. An attorney of this city has been engaged and the case will be fought. The amount deposited in the bank at the time of failure amounted to $353.35 and of this but $53, the first dividend, has been realized leaving the loss to date 3300.35. A dispatch to the Minneapolis Tribune from Bismark states that the indictment against D. Mc. K. Lloyd, of Pittsburg, Ph., for falsifying the records whereby Lloyds National bank was tbe loser about 910,0(10, has been dismissed, the amount having been made good. Four counts of the indictment against Wm. M. Lloyd, in the the same matter, were dismissed. Thirty-two counts still stand against Pres. Lloyd to answer to. County Commissioner Leisoh states thst little or no snow is to be found on the prairies as well as little water, so that with favorable weather seeding operations can be commenced within about ten days. Tbe farmers generally throughout the»oounty are inelined to seed a somewhat reduoed wheat area and to increase the oats and barley aore •age. says Mr. LeisBb. Many farmers, while conceding flax to be a profitable crop, have experienced difficulty in get ting it economically threshed. A special attachment has to be used on the tbreaher. The price for threshing flax ranges in the neighborhood of 20 osnts per bushel. The price for flax has fluc tuated in past years from about 90oento to $ 1.85 per bushel, according to the I quality and freedom from foreign matter. wbioh makes it a rather uncertain crop after all. From Tuesday's Dully Tbe roads are drying up. Hon. Geo, Wright of Courtnnay is in the city today. Hicks ha« had hard luck with his bliz zards and severe storms this month. Con. A. F.

A photopraphic view of a cattle ranch scene, taken in Stutsman county, ap pears in this issue of the Northwest Magazine. There was no preparation for tbe pioture, which was secured by Judd, and included among the World's fair views. Tbe Minot Journal says the Minot land office bad a filing last Wednesday, and as a consequence Col. Plummer was almost thrown into a fit, and Register OlBgard will probably be compelled to take a vacation to recover from tbe shock. Several of the fuel dealers have been annoyed for some time past by the thiev ing of cord wood. The quantities taken at a time are small, but in the aggregate amounts to a considerable quantity. A portion of tbe stolen wood was, in one instance, recovered. Dragging ground and breaking up tbe surface crust is the worst thing that can happen to a wheat field, in the opinion of some farmers. Moisture escapes that way much easier than it grain is sowed by a drill. The ground this spring is said to be much drier than last year at seeding time. Attorney Marcey: Jamestown is a pleasant place and I think I will like it here. The weather has been pleasanter than I anticipated, more so in fact than I had been informed. While every thing is quiet now in all lines, we antici pate getting our share of legal business, and look for better times soon. The Fessenden Advertiser states that Mr. Sorenson of Sorenson & Pederson, has bought out Mr. Pederson's share in tbe firm and will continue the business alone. Mr. Pederson will return to Jameetown. While here Mr. Pederson made a goodly number of friends, and all join heartily in wishing him suc cess in all his undertakings. A dispatch from Washington to the Minneapolis Tribune says Joe Hare has abandoned his candidacy for the sur veyorgeneralehip and has started home. Another telegram in the St. Paul Globe says that Mr. Hare is the strongest can didate and has the best chance to win. All of which show that Washington cor respondence will not do to bet on. County Treasurer Roper: People may take about the hard times but farmers come in hear to pay their taxes and plank down a ten or twenty dollar Dill. It is not money recently received for produce but some which has been laid away for just such a purpose. Crops may have been a little short but for the inevitable—taxes —money has been saved np for tbe oc camion and a lesson in economy has been learned. Geo. Burgess, a civil engineer in the employ of tbe Northern Paeifio, was in the city last evening on his way east from Mandan He says tbe brt-ak up in the Missouri is expected soon, as tbe water is rapidly rising above the ice, raising it in the center of the river. It is not thought that the break-up this year will be attended with much danger unles it oomes suddenly. There seems to be a tendency among many farmers in the county to slightly decrease tbe wheat area this season and to increase the acreage sown to oats, bar. ley und ether forage crops. The increase in stock and their demands make an in crese necessary. The practice of raising as much as posoibe on the farm and buy ing bb little as possible of what could be raised if so disposed, is increasing pnd with proportionate benefit to the farmers and merchants. A tour around the city stores after eeven o'clock shows that few people are to be found trading except Saturday nights. It is the opinion of several of the merchants that the stores could just as well close at 8 o'clock for two or three months, as to keep open as late as is done. The closing at thiB time except ing Saturday nights would Jnot incon venience any one, and would give merchants and clerks a chance to have a part of the evening to themselves. Land commissioner Williams was east bound last evening from the capitol to Wabpeton and other Red river points where he will look after the lands of the state. In speaking of the Independent convention to be held in this city in June, he stated that the exact date of holding it is not definitely ascertained yet as they intend to get a speaker for the occasion of national reputation and make the event a notable one. "Jamee town will see one of the largest crowds and biggest times it has yet had "be said. The next Lloyd bank dividend will be declared as soon as the comptroller can get in the assessments on tbe bank stock. Tbe first half of theee assessments is due March 19th, and in tbe payment of tbe remainder the comptroller's custom is to give a month or two time in which to complete tbe payment. It may be that a dividend will be declared on the receipt of the first half of the assess ments, together with what money has been collected from other sources, but tbe probabilities are that the full amounts of the assessments will be collected, and a larger dividend declared later. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Johnson spent Sun day in Mandan and included in the visit a drive to Fort Lincoln, which place had long been to them the object of much interest on account of its associations with Gen. Custer. The Custer house was visited as well as many of the locali ties refered to in Mrs. Custer's "Boots and Saddles." In addition the visitors found severnl persons whose personal recollections of the Custer and Fort Lincoln history added great interest to the visit. Mr. Johnson bought a dia mond willow souvenier from an Indian, visited the Alien taxidermist establish ment and altogether put in a pleasant day at tbe westside town, he says. Tbe attempt to make it appear that the citizens convention tomorrow night to nominate candidates for city offices, a democratic gathering will not work. It is not a partisan convention in any sense. Men of all politics are interested in it, and the candidates will be named as strictly non-partisan candidates. Tbe attempt of a few republicans to run tbe affairs of the city, in which all are equally interested, through party politics, is not liked by many republicans whose party loyalty cannot be questioned. Tbe con vention tomorrow at the court house will be attended by citizens who have the in terests of the town at heart, not the furtherance of the plans of a few politi cians for a political campaign. Let every man who beleives in this way of running the business of the town be present, and haven full and free voice in the selection of candidates. From Wednesday'* Dally. E. T. Kearney is expected back from Wisconsin this week. Flax is $1.06 in the local market at present, a loss of nine cents during the past ten days. Mrs. Chas. Klaus has been confined to her rooms several days by a severe at tack of erysipelas. IX A. Walker, representing tbe St. Paul News, gave the city a whirl yester day in tbe interest of his paper. Will Procter was in today from the cattle ranch. He says that stock have come through the winter in good shape. Mr. Wells cabled yesterday from Queenstown that he had arrived there safely having been six days crossing the Atlantic. G. E. Kermott, grand patriarch of tbe I. O. O. F. spent last evening in tbe city, going north this morning to St. Thomas, his home. Mr. and Mrs. Abeolom Bennett left this morning for a months' visit in Cali fornia, at the mid-winter fair, and with friendB at ackson, Amador county. Agent Ralph Hall of the Fort Totten Indian agency, accompanied by W. T. Canfield and W. H. Smith, came in from Bismarck last night and this morning went north. Fargo Argus: C. F. Merry, the man from Dickinson, has a host of friends throughout the state who would like to see him on the republican ticket next fall for lieutenant governor. Mrs. John Boyle was called to Leeds this morning by tbe death of ber brother at that place at 3 p. m. yesterday. The remains will be brought down tomorrow and intered in the Catholiecemetery. Remember Saturday at the opera house. If you enjoy mandolin, guitar or other chorus music don't forget the entertainnieut that tbe pupils of Lieut. Gov. Wallace and Hon. W. T. McCulloch of Griggs county, have just closed a fine series of school house meet ings in that county. The school houses are reported well filled with attentive listeners. The Napoleon Homestead says:— County Treasurer McCalmont last week received $253 of the county money de posited in Lloyds' Jimtown Bank. The treasurer's statement shows that $1,436. 61 iB still tied up there. Jake Cooper, who has rented the Wal lace farm east of tbe city, will put in about 200 aores of the half section in oats and wheat, with 10 acres in potatoes. Tbe land was fall plowed and tbe work of getting ready for seeding has already commenced. Harry Cornwall: Expect a party in to morrow from Minneapolis to look at a farm near Eldridge with object of buying it. There is a little more demand for farm land now days, and I have been in correspondence with several prospective buyers for some time. At the Bootable to be held in the Eldridge school house on Friday evening March 23rd, a dramatic skit entitled "The Wild Irishman —or bow tbe 'Sobame' worked" will be presented. This is aside spliting play in four sceues and will create plenty of fun. The Tribune states that the grand jury now in session at Bismarck, have found fifteen indictments so far. The jury have about as many more cases to consider, and expect to finish work about the mid dle of the week. Judge Thomas will probably adjourn court Friday. The apportionment of delegates to the independent state couvention, which meets here in June, will be three dele gates to each county, one additional dele gate for each 200 votes for governor in 1892, or major fraction thereof. The offi cial call will soon be published. W. S. Casselman: I see by tbe Capital I am reported as being in the city, and grand patriarch of the I.O.O.F. This last statement is not correct. I am not a member of the order. Am on tbe road for the new Fargo grocery firm of Park, Grant & Morris, wholesale grocers, and doing a very nice business for them. They sell to the trade only. Believe it a Mistake. Tbe republicans bave been placed in the position of drawing strict party lines to contest for tbe local offices at the next town election, and a full ticket has been put in tbe field for tbe purpose. It is only true to state that by many repub licans this action is deemed to be a mis take, as the occasion does not warrant it. They believe the interests of tbe town can be as well, if not better served in fill ing the offices with men not placed under political obligations to any party. Extreme partisan contests in smali elections, like a town election where the interests of the citizen and tbe taxpayers are greater than that of a party advocat ing certain politics, are not favored as they have been in the past. In most cities in the country the main object now is to get the best men in office regardless of what politics tbey advocate, and this is done on a strictly non-partisan basis. It remains to be seen whether this cus tom, which has proved of advantage both here and elsewhere, will be abandon ed this Bpring in Jamestown, where no attempt to draw party lines in city affairs has been thought of for several years. The Ward Meetings. Well attended ward caucuses were held Tuesday in all tbe wards to elect delegates to the citizens city conven tion and if any one thinks that the non partisan candidates for city offices this spring will not have a strong and en thusiastic support, he will make a serious mistake. The selections of delegates and can didates without regard to party lines shows the strictly non-political character of the meetings. Republicans, dem ocrats and independents all took part in tbe meetings which were conducted fairly and above board, and there were no schemes involved to run the city in tbe interests of a few members of a political party. FIRST WAKI). On the assembling of the citizens of this ward, it looked to some extent as though the republicans were going to run the caucus for their benefit alone and on the plan of the previous caucus, but tbe situation was relieved by tbe presence of two democrats. B. P. Tilden was made chairman and H. Gieseler, secretary, of the meeting. The delegates chosen to the couvention this afternoon were: B. P. Tilden, Geo. Craven, D. Gal vm, J. J. Thompson, H. S. Helm and L. C. L. Moore. The nomination of Frank Clemens for alderman was indorsed unanimously. SECOXl St. John's academy are preparing. Its a feast. worm WARD. At tbe meeting at the city council rooms there was a large turnout and much interest taken in the conduct of the meeting. R. E. Giese was made chairman and A. Blewett secretary. The delegates ohosAn to the convention were: Con. Buckley, H. B. Wood, R, E. Giese, A. Heinswr, Lou. Cadieux, Faf Norris, Frank Andre and Bud. Kellum. G. A. Lieber wis endorsed for alderman, a petition for his nomination having been filed with the oity clerk. A ward com mittee of three were appointed as fol lows: D. E. Hughes, Geo. Jackson and Lou. Cadieux. THIRD WAKD. The delegates to the convention elect ed at this meeting were as follows: S. A. Wilder, N. The delegates elected in this ward were: J. B. Durkee, W. H. Fletcher, John Johnson, O. Burleson and A. H. Ellsworth. Tbe nominee for alderman was John A. Johnson. The attempt of the Capital to make it appear that this was a democratic move ment is simply rot and on a par with other statements that it has made and will probably make in connection with the city election. In tbe first ward there were six delegates chosen, four republic ans and two democrats in tbe second ward there were four republicans and four democrats in tbe third ward two re publicans and four democrats and in the fourth ward three republicans and two demoorats. Of all the delegates there were thirteen republicans and twelve democrats. The candidates for aldermen chosen at the caucused were, politically speaking, two democrats and two repub licans. If political line9 are to be con sidered at all tbe republicans have much the best of it. In all the caucuses there was no political strife seen at all the endeavor was made to secure tepresen tative men regardless of political affilia tions. Minnie M. Jteyaer Pataskala. Hiio.
