for six weeks endeavoring to find a
better place than Burleigh county
lias given up the task and returned to
admit that North Dakota Is good

Oakes Republican: Hundreds of
dead fish are lying in the open water
at the mouth of the sewer where it
empties into the Jim river. These
Mali were alive last week and were af
fording lots of sports for people with
the spear and rod. The bulk of the
fish arc of the bullhead variety, with
a good sprinkling of perch and pickerel.
The killing of tisli is said to be due to
the poisonous drippings from the gas
plant, which wits lately connected
with the sewer.

Mandan I'ioneer: There was another
case this week before the Catholic
court of arbitration. A Protestant
merchant had a bill of •103.M against
a Catholic farmer. The farmer dis
puted the accuracy of the account and
was willing to pay 170 only. Tlie Cath
olic priest, Dean Collins, decided that
the total bill of M03.84 should be paid
on condition* that an "itemized state­
ment" of account should be made out:
and that the clerk and merchant
sltould take an oath to the truth and
accuracy of the said account. The
conditions were complied with: the
spot cash payment of the whole debt
promptly made. Tbe proceedings were
in the priest's office in tlie rectory ex
cept tlie taking of the oath which oc
curred elsewhere
Tbe temperature of February 6,
early in tije morning, says the Grand
Forks Herald, was a curiosity. It
was 30 degrees below zero: but that is
not the curious thing, as that tem
perature may be reached many times
in the course of a winter. The strange
thing is that this temperature was
reached during a gentle south wind,
which was blowing from the same
direction for about twenty-four hours,
and, in spite of the south wind
the weather was actually colder than
it had been in tbe preceding north
wind, and colder than at any time
during tbe winter with the single ex
ception of Thanksgiving morning.

Come Home, Oeorgie.
Old Cncle Geor^ie—he of tlieG. F.

Pacific coast. The obscure young men
whom he left in charge of his alleged

the vealy outfit which is rattling
around in George's editorial chair.
"Come home—come home-uncle, dear
uncle—come home."
Trouble la China.
Uncle Sam is getting uneasy regard
ing the outlook in China. The boy
cott against American goods is lj.-intr
pushed with renewed vigor, and (inu
tile news conies that there is serious
danger of an uprising against foreign
ers, and particularly against Ameri
cans—an uprising which it is feared
will be more widely extended and
more destructive of human life than
that of the Boxers. The cry of "Asia
lor the Asiatics" is heard in all parts
of China. Some authorities claim
that the Japanese, being jealous of
American commercial competition in
the Orient, are at the bottom of tlie
Chinese upheaval. Uncle Sain is
sending more soldiers to the Philip
pines, and it is said that he is deter
mined to not stand much more fool
ishness from the Chinks.
Mabel Johnson Dead.
Charley Swanson, formerly ofCherry
Grove district, but for many years
past residing at Ited Wing, Minn.,
sends the Record a marked copy of
tlie Red Wing Republican contain
ing a notice of the death of Miss
Mabel Johnson, who formerly resided
with her parents in the Braddock
neighborhood the family moving to
Minnesota a few years ago. Mr. and
Mrs. Johnson's many old friends in
this county deeply sympathize with
them in their loss. The clipping is as
follows:
"Mabel Josephine, aged 15 years
and 7 months, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John A. Johnson, residing in
Wacouta, died at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning of scarlet fever. She was
born In Emmons county, North Da
kota. Besides her parents, she leaves
one brother. Walter Johnson. Fu
neral services will be held at the resi
dence to-morrow at 10 o'clock, A II.
Allen officiating."
The Primary Law.
It is a mistake to suppose that li
primary-election law is at all compli
cated, as far as the voter is concerned.
There is quite a lengthy list of manda
tory provisions for the government of
election officers, hut they are along
the lines followed at the r'egular elec
tion. The rules for th direction nf
the voter arc very clear and simple.
There will lie two ballot-boxes--repub
lican and democratic. There ate two
tickets—one also democratic aud one
republican. The voter asks for the
ticket he wants to vote, it i.s given
to him. It contains a list or the in
dividuals of his party who have com
plied with the law, and a certain num
ber of whom are to be chosen for
places as candidates on the A us! ral ian
ballot at the regular election. You
can't help a republican candidate hy
scratching a name and writing the
republican's name on a democratic
ticket, and vice versa. If only one
candidate for a certain office is to lu
named, the voter makes a cross in the
square after the name of the person
lie wants to vole for. If—as for jus
tice, constable, etc.—there are several
candidates to he named, the voter
will make the cross after the name of
as many persons of his choice as there
are positions to be tilled under that
heading,
Where only one candidate is to lie
chosen—like sheriff, auditor, tt •.
there will be a paragraph printed on
the ticket, saylig, "Make mark after
but one name." or words to that ef
fect." Where constables, justices,
etc.. are to be voted for, the paragraph
will read, "Make mark after three
names" That is all there is to U, as
far as the voter is concerned. And
the duties of election officers and the
action of candidates for a party can
didacy are about the same as at the
regular election. In fact, more than
fifty sections of tlie regular Aus
tralian-ballot law are referred 11 in
the primary law as governing he lat
ter.

The Renix Brothers, vaudeville art
ists, who had been advertised to do a
stunt in Linton opera-house last even
ing, failed to show up. The last heard
of them was at Aberdeen. They were
to sliow in Eureka Tuesday evening,
but failed to keep their appointment.
Perhaps there was a good reason for
their failure to appear perhaps not.
John R. Davis, of the Beaver Creek
Stock Farm, departed Saturday with
several car-loads of fat cattle and hoga
for the Chicago market. Mr. Weatlier
by also went with Mr. Davii to help

nona last week, where they have taken

The plan of fattening live atock at
home is growing more popular right
along. In addition to the fat cattle
and hogs shipped by John Davis laat
Saturday, a car-load of fat steers was
recently shipped out by O. E. Burge.
The corn is cut and stalks and ears
fed to the cattle, which are followed
by hogs. The fodder almost entirely
takes the place of hay for "roughage,"
and both cattle and swine do well.
There was a slight flurry of snow
Monday, accompanied by some wind,
and as a result tbe Bismarck-Linton
X. P. flyer was stalled in a snow-bank
Monday night between Hatelton and

A. W. Sims was among those from
Emmons county who attended the
real-estate dealers' meeting at Bis*
marck Thursday and Friday of last

the organization which is being

peting with a like society in Canada,
one that receives assistance and In
ducements from the Canadian govern
ment, in bringing settlers into the
country.
At the Methodist church, last Sun*
day evening, the Rev. Hayes addressed
a large congregation on "Lessons from
the Life of Abraham Liucoln." The
lecture was instructive and entertain
ing. As one prominent Lintonite who
was present remarked, "It was a well
delivered address. I would have been
pleased to have had the address last
an hour longer." Next Sunday even
ing Comrade Hayes will speak on
"Washington: Tlie Hero of The Revo
lution."
How many people In Linton and
vicinity know that all tbe work done
by the Linton Band Orchestra Is for
the good of the band all the money
they receive for playing at concerts
going into the band treasury? But
that is the truth of the matter.
When they go away from home to
play, and when they play for a dance
at home, it is for the benefit of Lin
ton Cornet Band and not for them
selves individually. Seems to us It
would be hard to beat this manifesta
tion of public spirit.
C. A. Patterson went to the Twin
Cities the fore part of last week,
called there by the sickness of his
daughter, Miss Frances, who Is a pupil
at Stanley Hall academy. It was

Minn., where it is said the best surgl
c*il tretment in the northwest can bj
obtained. Saturday morning Mrs.
Patterson received a telegram from
her husband to the effect that an oper
ation had been performed tbe morn

ter was getting aloug all right. Mrs.
Patterson departed for Rochester by
Saturday's train. Miss Frances' many
friends iu Lintou hope slie will soon
be restored to perfect health.
Attorney Armstrong returned last
Friday, after an absence of about a
mouth visiting eastern points. He

tradition Is one of
a respectable un-
tlqulty, for Aristotle
refers to [htsuiis
seeing stars In daylight when looking
oat from caverns of
subterranean
reservoirs, and Pliny
ascribes to deep
wells a similar power
of rendering

The tradition, well
founded or not,
has often been
adopted for literary
effect. It seems
almost sacrilegious to
hint that no star known
to astronomer*
could have shone down
unceasingly
on poor Stephen Blackpool

during his
aeven days and nights of
agony at the
bottom of tbe Old Hell
shaft that at
the best he could only
have caught a
glimpse of It for a few
minutes In each

Of course
every one knows that Venus

many times over brighter

Then, again, tbe assistance
of a tele-
ecope enables tbe brighter
stars to

not only directs tbe eye
and greatly
limits the area from which
the sky-
light reaches tbe observer,
but it enor­
