Nick Cruden met with a peculiar accident last Friday night. While eating big oysters at the Methodist social he swallowed a piece of an oj'ster shell. After a time his stom ach got sick of trying to digest the oyster shell still, it didn't seem to want to give it up, and Fick hardly knew what to do. So he called in Dr. Boyd and the next morning he was all right.—LaMoure Chronicle. What Makes a Good Town. A first class town is one iu which the farmer spends his money with home merchants, the laborer spends the money h« earns with local trades men, where the good will of every citizen is with home industries. This is the true spirit of reciprocity be tween business men, tradesmen and laborers, and it makes business lively, the town prosperous and above all a pleasant place to live in.—Larimore Pioneer, Devils Lake Going Dry. The Jamestown Alert says that it is said Devils Lake has fallen nine feet in eight years. The old dock at Devils Lake shows where the boat once landed and water is now three miles away. The farmers iu the Red River Valley who have had artesian wells dug say the wells are losing force and assign the cause of decrease to the lake. The lake never began falling until the artesian wells were bored in the James and Red River Valleys. The Immoral Moral Issue. In referring to the election pf Hon. J. G. Halland the following opinion was expressed by a gentleman, in which we heartily concur: "In the name of morality it is my humble opinion that they (the W. C. T. U.) have done more to demoralize this state than they can make good in twenty years of positive work. They have thrust a foul discussion into al most every home in he state of North Dakota they have not hesitated to put foul, suggestive literature in the hands of Sunday school and commou school pupils. The thoughtlessness of the methods adopted, to say the least, is deplorable."—Lakota Herald. Minnesota rionkey Work. There is a well founded suspicion that North Dakota wheat does not meet with fair play at Duluth and Minneapolis under the present meth ods tmployed in inspecting, grading, storing or shipping. It is believed, as has been frequently stated, that our wheat is mixed with the inferior proiuet of southern Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa by the speculators at theee points and sold to eastern consumers after having been thus reduced in grade. A plan by which our wheat can be offered for sale on all markets of the world and sold on it8 merits, without mixing or adulter ation is what should be evolved and adopted."—Milton Globe.

That is why the* impression is giowing in Washington that the president wiii ask no legislation Iron congress for the islands, but will keep them under militarv govern ment until their lut.uls are butter un derstood, iu order that when there is congressional legislation for them it may be of a permanent nature.— Ellendale Leader? THE NORTH DAKOTA PRESS. as candid c"unlry •'. Iv': Where "Ben Hur" Was Written. An interesting page of pictures in the Christmas Ladies' Home Journal shows the author of "Ben Hur" at home. Several glimpses of the inter ior of (general Wallace's house are given, besides views of his studio and lawn. A feature of interest in the latter is the picture of the tree under place the Catholic church which, the author says, "I wrote all but the last book of 'Ben Hur.' A photograph also shows General Wall ace at work under the spreading branches of the "Ben Hur" tree, en gaged in some literary work that may soon be given to the public. Cevera Is a Gentlemaa. Admiral Cervera has become a can didate for a seat in the Spanish sen ate and has issued an addrese to the people whom he seeks to represent declaring that Spain's best interests demand a prompt resumption of friendly relations with America and the adoption of some of America's methods in trade and in the adminis tration of government. In this ad dress he tells his people that the United States has no feeling of ani mosity towards Spain, and he is just at home as he was iu this in expressing his apprecia tion of the kiadly treatment which he received while he was a prisoner of war on this side of the Atlantic.— Buttineau Couraut. Endorsed in the Northwest. The vote of the people of the north west was in the nature of an indorse ment of the administration of Presi dent McKinley, who was really on trial. The result showed that the brilliant conduct of the war and the improved business conditions of the country are not overlooked by the people. The world at large now knows that the countrjr sustains the president, and approves his conduct of the war with Spain. A reversal of the popular verdict would have been something humiliating under the cir cumstances. The result is gratifying. Business ought to gain confidence now that there is to be no interference with the economic policies of the country in the near future, and plans may be made accordingly.—Edgeley Mail. Just The Kind of Stuff Needed. Later returns from North Dakota give the Republicans still greater ma jorities for their state ticket aud sho*v that the legislature is republican be yond a doubt. The victory for re publicanism will be complete when this legislature chooses Hon. T. F. Marshall for United States senator. He is a republican in every fiber of his nature and if he is elected will support republican policies and have their welfare in view rather thap personal aggrandizment. He would make a record in the senate that would attract luster to his state and Aberdeen News. Credit to the Church. that the Times Record noticed wilhin tho nasi 'hre.

The change in the rote in this county from a 200 fusion majority in 1896 to 500 republican majority is not all a change to republicanism. We claim about half of it as straight change and the other half from mea who are still independents and demo crats but who are not fusionists, and this is true of other counties as well as Pembina. Fusiou has disgusted many into becoming permanently republican but it will depend very much ou the future of both parties as to where the remainder of independent votere will affiliate. Here comes food for thought for the members of the republican party. Victory and a majority are invariably demoralizing. With a sure majority, factious arise within the party, or less attention is paid to the character of cauiidates. Might is right is often the motto and as we said, the results are demoralizing. On the contrary a minority party can only hope 10 win by staudiug together and putting up good candidates. From a party numbering but barely one-third of the total vote iu 1890 we have grown to a majority party by good manage mont and hard fighting on our part and partly by the mistakes and dis organization of our opponents. The tables are reversed aud now comes the question whether as victors we can keep our organization in position to remain victorious.—Pembina Ex press. A Business Parable. Once a farmer had 1,800 bushels of wheat, which he sold not, to a single grain merchant, but to 1,800 different dealers a bushel each. A few of them paid him in cash, but far the greater number said it was not convenient theu they would pay later. A few months passed, and the man's bank account ran low. "How is this?" he said- "My 1,800 bushels of grain should have kept me in affluence until another crop is raised, but I have parted with the grain aud have instead only a vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot get around and collect fast enough to pay ex penses."
