PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY OF EACH WEEK.
Official Paper of the People of the Bowbells
Country.
SAVED HIMSELF BY A NECK.
No, Jack Emerson is too good :t man ant
just a huge bit too wise to allow himself to be
made a dupe of by the gang* who are at tlieir
wits ends to induce some man of standing and
respect in the community to join them am
give their hunger for office and dirty work an
air of respectability. It did not take our frienc
many minutes to work out in his own mind just
what this handful of political parasites were
after aud how they hoped to use himself and his
host of friends inthefurtheranceof their designs.
Their protestations of friendship and good-fel
lowship had simply the effect to set. Jack a
thinking, and the longer he thought the more
plain it became to him that it was simply the
influence that, the use of his name would bring
to them that they were after. He saw graft,
treachery and the lowest skulduggery staling
him in the face, and as a result lie simply waved
the outfit from him and bade them seek some
thing easier in the .vay of a tool. Speaking
with The Tribune on the subject, he said that he
thoughtlessly consented to the circulation of a
petition to place his name on the Republican
ticket as a candidate for the office of county
commissioner for this (the third) commissioner
district, the thing being sprung on him so sud
den that he did not have time to think the mat
ter over in the manner that ever is his want—
cooly and calmly weighing the subject in the
balance—much less giving the slightest thought
to the ins and outs, whys and wherefores, and
causes that were leading the great wain warns
to thus suddenly and serreptitiously take so
great an interest in him. But before the passing
of many hours after he had thoughtlessly con
sented to the use of his name, a new light shone
all around him and revealed lie designs of those
who, to secure his and his friends' influence,
sought him to become an outcast politically,
by hoisting his good name to smooth their path
over the dried bonesof himself and otherequally
good fellows whom they had sought, but failed
to enlist in the furtherance of their underhanded
schemes. Jack Emerson is too good a man to
thus "be led to the slaughter," and he author
izes The Tribune to say to everybody that he is
not now, nor has he ever been, an aspirant for
the office of county commissioner.
DEATH OF CARL SCHURZ.
In th.-» passing away of Carl Schurz not only
America, but the world mourns the loss of one
of the most noted and brilliant men of modern
times. The Minneapolis Journal well says that
none of the adopted sons of America has shown
more capacity tograsp the'fundamentals of our
political institutions and none has contributed
more to their growth along healthy lines than
he. Coming to America a political fugitive,
who had lost his standing in his native land
through his devotion to liberty, he plunged into
the politics of this country when the slavery
debate was coming to a head. He began his
political activities as a German speaker, but
soon began to speak in English and was quickly
recognized as one of the most forceful political
orators in the country.
President Lincoln appointed him minister to
Spain, but he resigned to enter the army, in
which he rose to the ranK of major general.
After the war he removed to Missouri, where he
became the publisher of a German newspaper
and where he was chosen to the senate of the
United States. He parted with the Grant ad
ministration and joined the liberals in the ill
starred campaign to make Horace Greeley presi
dent of the United States. Mr. Schurz was one
of the few men who survived that unfortunate
political experiment of trying to fuse republi
cans and democrats so soon after the war. He
returned to the fold and became secretary of
the interior under President Haves. Before he
held this office he had imbibed the principals of
civil service reform and in his administration
attempted to put some of them into practice.
It should be noted also that he was a pioneer in
the movement for the preservation of the forests
on the public lands. That they have not been
preserved was not because the interior depart
ment did not give early enough warning of the
fate that congress by its legislation was invit
ing.
Since his retirement from office-holding Mr.
Schurz lias devoted himself to newspaper worK
and to the interests of the civil service reform
league, of which he is an active member. He
has written much on subjects connected with
the war against slavery. His latest contribu
tion to literature is his autobiography appear
ing in serial parts in a magazine. It shows the
sturdy German at his best. As modest as the
memoirs of General Grant and as full of adven
ture and incident as a Hope novel, it is a de
lightful thing to read.
Mrs. Helena Harms, after a lingering illness of pneu
monia, died at her home three miles north of town on
Monday morning, aged 61 years. Deceased leaves three
sons and a daughter—Johannes, Ernest. Peter and Mrs.
H. Hoffhenke. The funeral took place from her late
home at 1 o'clock p. m. yesterday, and from the Dunkard
church, ten miles north, at 3 p. m., the remains being
interred in the Dunkard cemetery. Rev. Mr. Hoffhenke
conducted the services in the church.
Dr. Doe operated on Mrs. Thorval Stromset of this
place at the county hospital in Minot on Tuesday, remov
ing the appendix, and the patient is getting along in the
most encouraging manner.
Plant Trees and Get Bounty.
As this is the season of the year when trees are plant
ed, The Tribune gives the law for the bounty secured
by the planting of trees. Every land owner should take
pride in having a nice grove of trees. The grove not only
adds to the beauty of the scenery, but serves as a wind
break and greatly increases the value of the land upon
which it is grown. Cut this article out and preserve it
you may wish to refer to it at any time:
Sec. 2082. Bounty for free tree planting. Any person
who shall hereafter plant, cultivate and keep in growing,
thrifty condition one acre and not more than ten acres of
prarie land with any kind of forest trees and shall plant
or have planted said trees not more than eight feet apart
each way shall be entitled to three dollars for each acre
so planted and cultivated, to be deducted annually from
the taxes levied against real estate comprised of eighty
acres, one hundred and sixty acres or three hundred and
twenty acre farm, as the case may be, upon which said
trees are growing, but such bounty shall not be paid un
less such groves shall have at least four hundred living
trees in each acre so maintained and kept in growing con
dition.
Sec. 2083. Along highways. Limit of bounty. Every
person planting such forest trees suitable for hedge rows
as boundary lines along the public highways or any other
portion of his premises which rows shall contain not less
than two living trees to each rod, and who shall in
other respects comply with the provision of this article,
shall annually receive a bounty at the rate of two dollars
for every eighty rods of each row in length provided,
however, that no bounty shall be paid or deduction allow
ed under the provisions of this article for a longer period
than five years upon any one tract or row of trees.
Sec. 2084. Proof of planting. Any person wishing to
secure the benefit of this article shall during the month
of June next after the expiration of one year after plant
ing such grove, row or rows of trees and annually there
after file with the county auditor or clerk of the county
in which the same is located, a correct plat of the land
describing the section or fraction thereof on which said
grove, row or rows, have been planted or cultivated and
and shall make due proof of such planting and cultivating
as well as of title to the land by oath of the owner and
the affidavit of two freeholders residing in the vicinity,
setting forth the facts in relation to the growth and cul
tivation of thegrove, row or rows of trees for which such
bounty is demanded, provided, this article shall not apply
to any railroad company for planting trees within two
hundred feet of its tracks for the purpose of making a
snow fence, nor to any trees planted upon the land held
and acquired under the timber culture laws of the United
States.
Sec. 2085. Examination and report by assessor. It is
hereby made the duty of the assessor of every town or
county at the time of making his assessment to ascertain
whether or not trees have been planted by any land own
ers in his town or county and for which compensation is
claimed under this article, and in case trees have been
planted and such compensation is claimed under this ar
tide, and in case trees have been planted and
such compensation is claimed the assessor shall
personally examine all the grove or line of
trees and make report of the extent and conditions there
of according to the prescribed form, the same to be re
turned to the county auditor with the other returns and
assessment book.
Swell Stock Barns for State Fair at Fargo.
The construction of four stock barns at the state fair
grounds at Fargo is being pushed skyward by Bower
Bros. The contract price was $5,364. Each building will
be 80x140 feet and will be fitted up with all the modern
conveniences as a home for stock.
The exhibition building, which is also under construc
tion, is a model of beauty and convenience, judging from
what can now be seen of the building. The building is
octagon in plan, 114 feet in diameter, and will have in the
center a show ring 40 feet in diameter, around which on
all sides seats are to be arranged as an amphitheater.
Underneath the seating, which will be entirely closed
off, there will be a Wid(*aisle or passage way all the way
round, with single and double stalls for stock. There will
be two rooms at the front to be used for the judges and
committees.
At the side of the pavillion and connected with the
same by a covered passage thirty feet long will be stock
barns proper, which are 80x140 feet, divided by three
wide passage ways, on either side of which are single and
double stalls running the full length of the building.
Interest in the state fair to be held in Fargo July 23
to 28 is becoming general all over the state, and on all
sides the prediction is made that it will be the greatest in
the history of the state. No pains or expense will be
spared.
Kenmare Carries off the Honors.
A very exciting game of baseball was played on the
home diamond last Monday evening when Bowbells and
Kenmare "measured sticks." It was such a game as is
a pleasure for one. knowing that every player on either
team was doing his utmost to help his nine to victory, to
watch. A large aggregation came up from Kenmare to
root" for and bet money on their team—and every dol
lar they "flashed" was covered, and we are satisfied, al
though we are not "kicking," that had the umpire, who
was a Kenmare man, been just in his decisions the results
of the game would not have been in Kenmare's favor,
but would have called for an additional knotch in our boys'
bats. It is also a fact that our team was weakened to
some extent on account of some of its regular players be
ing absent G. L. Bickford caught the game and did ad
mirable work, notwithstanding the fact, although he is
an "old head" at the game, that he has done little or no
playing for several years past. The game was exciting
from start to finish. At the first half of the 5th inning
the score stood 3 to 2 in favor of Bowbells, but in the 5th
and 6th innings Kenmare got in an additional five runs
and our boys but one, the 7th inning resulting in a clean
shut-out for both teams, making the final score 7 to 5 in
Kenmare's favor, and all satisfied.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
J. W. Lowe returned from Iowa on Saturday last.
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Schauff, on Sunday, the
6th inst., a son.
Mr. and Mrs Geo. H. Gjertsen got home on Tuesday
from an extended tour of the Pacific coast country.
Anything that may be found lacking in the way of
news in this issue of The Tribune can be attributed to an
indisposition on the part of the editor and an inordinate
amount of outside work that was compulsory on "yours
truly."
There is no perceptible improvement in the condition
of Miss Beatrice Henry and it is thought that an opera
tion will become imperative. Her mother, who had but
recently returned from here to her home at Sheyenne,
has been sent a message to come on and be with Miss
Beatrice till such time as her physicians may consider the
danger point to have been passed.
The special election held here Tuesday for the purpose
of voting on a city charter for Bowbells resulted in 32
votes being polled for the proposition to 7 against. Not
much interest was shown, as the very light vote would
indicate. An election will next be called for city officers,
notice of which will be made public on the occasion of the
next meeting of the village council.
Louie Hanson, of the milling firm of Hanson .& Barzen
of Thief River Falls, accompanied by his friend Theo.
Dunn, of the same place, was here yesterday looking
over the town and visiting with his old friend Elmer W.
Eaton. Both gentlemeh were greatly taken up with the
appearances of prosperity apparent throughout what they
saw of the Bowbells country and expressed surprise that
so much had been accomplished in substantial improve
ment within the brief period since the country's settle
ment. They were out simply on a sort of vacation, or
respite from business cares, and agreed that what they
had seen of the great Bowbells country had amply repaid
them for the time and expense incident to the trip.
