Star Spangled Banner.
A good story is told of a big fine
music box which was the properly of
the Spanish club, an organization of
officers in Santiago, before the cap
tureof the town. This music box
played one air which was the favorite
of the club. It was frequently called
for during the siege and always heard
by the music lovers of the club with
pleasure. On the morning of July
17, when the American flag was hoist
ed over the town, the band of the
Sixth cavalry played that very air
and then the Spanish officers learned
that that blessed music box had been
giving them the "Star Spangled
Banner."—Grand Forks Plaindealer.
Story of a Stamp.
Elihu T. Barber, who drives W. J.
Munson's ice wagon, has all reason
to be proud of the distinction which
the postal department has conferred
ou him. Of lace the department
has departed from its former course,
and where formerly *he pictures
of great and distinguished men
were put on postage stamps,
scenes representing the agricultural
west are now the piincipal attraction.
Imagine, thsrtfore, Mr. Barber's
astonishment when he saw for the
first time his picture on the 2-cent
postage stamp, and he the principal
figure on it. The following is Mr.
Barbel's own account as he gave it to
the reporter: "I was working for E.
W. Chaffee, of Amenia, Cass county,
North Dakota, in July, 1889, and had
charge of a gang of men. plowing
under a wheat lot which we didn't
consider worth cutting. We were
plowing in two gangs, each man with
a plow turning over two furrows, a
mile stretch, when one day J. B.
Hamlin, a local photographer, came
out, and seeing us altogether in a
group, remarked what a beautiful
picture we made, and that he had a
good notion to take it, as he felt sure
he could sell a few copies and thus
make an honest penny. We told him
to go ahead. I was at the time sit
ting in a gig, being the foreman of
the gang. In due tirm- he brought
the pictures and each ef us purchased
a copy. When I first saw the picture
on the stamp I could hardly believe
it, and I dropped everything and
hunted up the photograph, and it is
justthe same." No wonder Mr. Bar
ber feels proud who would not?—

VOL. XV. NO. 35. OAKES, NORTH DAKOTA, SEPTEMBER 2, 1898. L.50 PER YEAR.
In Every Way Qualified.
The writer has known Hon. Bur-'
leigh F. Spaulding, republican candi
date for congressman, for a period of
twenty years, in this state and dur
ing territorial times. For a period
of twelve years we had business re
lations with him, and always found
him honorable and considerate.
While in his constitutional make up
Mr. Spaulding is impassive rather
than emotional, he has a well bal
anced mental organization, with
clear, logical reasoning powers, a lib
eral education, in the prime of man
hood, and every way equipped
for the high office for which lie has
been nominated and to which he will
be elected.—Lisbon Gazette.
The Liar and the Storm.
During the storm Sunday night,
ye scribe, who sleeps on the impos
ing stone, with an old exchange for a
pillow, entertained no fears of the
Mail office being blown away by the
wind. Owing to the fact that there
is such a heavy mortgage on the
building, which was sufficient weight
to hold it down, he only aroused
from his slumbfevs 'long enough to
rescue his shoes that were float.ng
around in the press room, a
his wearing apparel out, of reach of
the water that was pouring in from
all sides. After this was douo lie
swam back to his ''buuk" and slept
peacefully on.—Edgeley Mail.
Statesman.
President McKiuley has won the
approval of all intelligent and pat
riotic citizens, and ttfere are few if
any loyal Americaus Mio do not feel
satisfaction that the giave issues
growing out of the war are to be en
trusted to an executive who has
proved himself a statesman of the
first order. Now conservative, now
aggressive, the president has at all
times shown himself to be a wise,
firm, judicious and broad minded ex
ecutive. And there's to be six or sev
en years more of McKinley.—Ashley
Republican.
Only a Favorite Son.
Dickey County newspa pers are en
thusiastically booming Hon. Thomas
Marshall for United States senator.
Mr. Marshall cannot, possibly have
better friends in Dickey than he has
in Richland, but Richland county
has a favorite son who wilfUe a can
didate for senator should circumstan
ces warrant it. Hon. P. J. McCum
ber is one of the ablest lawyers in
the state, and he would represent the
state to its credit should he be chos
en.—Wahneton Globe.
Cheaper than Buying Cuba.
The war has cost this country a
good deal less than the smallest sum
named as the price to be paid for
Cuba if Spain would sell before we
were compelled to declare all 9uch
negotiations off. So the peace soci
eties wont have any illustration of
the superior economy of peace to
draw from the struggle just ended—
that is, from the American side of
the question. On the Spanish side
it is different and Spain would now
be a capital ground for peace advo
cates.—St. Thomas Times.
Would Be Awfully Different.
The reported wish of the people of
Jamaica to be allowed to hand their
island over to the United States, too,
wi 11 of course, never assume any def
inite shape, if, indeed, there is any
truth at all in the^ report. But it
would be immensely amusing, if not
too tragic, to see just what would en
sue if the Jamaicans should attempt
to get old John Bull's sanction to
such a transaction,—Grand Forks
Herald.

Defends His Six Sweethearts.
The composite profile on the Oma
ha commemorative medal—supposed
to be a double-distilled decoction of
western beauty—is a libel on the
girls of the Golden Northwest. There
are half a dozen in Sheldon prettier
than that.—Sheldon Progress.
Give the Nuisance Credit.
Instead of laying the mismanage
ment of the Santiago expedition en
tirely to the secretary of war and
Gen. Shafter, the board of strategy
should be credited with its share.
This board was to make everything
move like clock-work.—Ellendale
Record.
Going to the Coal Mines.
A Bismarck special to the Minne
apolis Journal of August 10 says:
The Soo road is circulating blanks
for right of way signatures from cit
izens of Bismarck, to obtain permis
sion to build the road through the
city. The road will probably be ex
tended on to the vast coal fields of
northern Burleigh and McLean
counties and afford an opportunity
for thousands of settlers and mauy
cities along its line to secure a cheap
fuel SUDDIV.
Jud is Thinking.
It is believed that Judson J^aMoure
of this county entertains the view
that this is about the right time for
him to make a dash for the United
Statos senate, and possibly it is.
Lots of bad things have been said
about Jud LaMoure, but the charge
that he ever betrayed his constituen
cy for money or fame has yet to be
substantiated. He is able and North
Dakota had better a thousand times
be represented by such a man than
by some numbskull without either
sense or stability,—Crystal Call.
Full Price Goes.
There is one matter the newspaper
boys should stand together ou. and
that is to see that action is taken at
the coining legislative session to com
pel insurance companies to pay full
legal rates for publication of their an
nual statement. That half rate for
insurauce companies is the rottenest
deal ever put, up and should be done
away with. It is about tin the
newspapers did some legislation for
themselves—they've helped the oth-
er fellows long enough, and

Dickey County Raised.
County Auditor Saunders has re
ceived the list of changes made by
the board of equalization in the as
sesment of property in Dickey coun
ty. The state board made a heavy
raise on the figures returned by the
county board ofequalization, and the
cattle raising industry, which has
been rapidly forging to the front in
this county, seems to have caught it
the hardest. The assesment on cat
tle one year old was increased 92 per
cent cattle two years old were in
creased 61 per cent and all other cat
tle were increased 76 per cent. Cows
three years old and over, were in
creased 50 per cent. The valuation
of work oxen was increased 39 per
cent. On mules, the increase on one
year olds was 50 per cent, two year
olds, 100 per cent and three year olds
and over, 54 per cent. Horses, two
years old, were raised 5 per cent
three years and over, were lowered 6
per cent. Sheep, six months old,
were raised 85 per cent, swine, over
six months old were raised 25 per
cent, organs 49 per cent, pianos 74
per cent and threshing machines 20
per cent. Bank stock was increased
20 per cent, elevators and grain
therein 20 per cent and telephones
and telegraphs 10 per cent.—Ellen

Some Good Will Come.
Before the United States court the
rate cases are yet pending. Since
their commencement there has been
so much education and so much agi
tation. that, however the judge may
decide, the discussion will go ou the
law of the state will be perfected the
people will continue to inform them
selves, and the reforms instituted in
North Dakota will be taken up in
other states. And the outcome of it
all will be the establishment, of the
rule of the people. So that—as A fi
nal outcome of the matter—much
good will result,.—Fargo Forum.

Binding Twills
North Dakota, lai men
tation for kno'.virj
when thov see it. Ac
afforded them tiu\v see something
new in the way oi .'undiug twine,
which while evcu Do ur Jiau Manil
la twine can be jjurcaased for from
oae-hali' to one-, hi less. Yester
day a Herald man wir-uesswi a har
vester at work on the Budge farm ad
joining the city, using the new pro
duet, and it worked 10 perfection
But that isn't the best of it. The
twine instead of being manufactured
from foreign products like jute and
sisal, is exclusively a northwestern
product and lv .eslier the money
spent for binding twine, which ag
gregates a large sum anuually, will
be kept at home instead of being sent
to foreign countries, or even our own
Manilla. It may be stated that this
new twice has not been placed on
the market here, but another season
the farmers will be able to buy it
from any of the dealers.
The new twine is one of the pro
ducts of the Minnesota Grass Twine
company, recently organized and
which is now fitting up a large fac
tory at St. Paul. The company is a
branch of the Northwestern Grass
Twine company of which ex-Senstor
Warner Miller is president, and with
whom are associated other capitalists
of unlimited means. The company
now has a large factory iu Oshkosk,
Wis., running night and daj con
stantly to supply the demands for
its products including cotton bag
ging and other products as well as
twine.
Any binder in use by northwestern
farmers will use this twine with a
slight modification. Tt works per
fectly, makes a bow knot which tight
ens by the strain of handling and
the bundles are perfect. The price
yard for yard will be from one-half
to one-third less than the price of si
sal twine,—Grand Forks Herald.
