Our county surveyor, Mr. E. C. Palmer,
is still making improvements to his sur
veying outfit. He now launches forth
with an acromatic telescope of 20 diame
eter power, with vertical circle to 5
minutes of arc, all mounted on his in
strument. This now gives him a micro
meter and level for ditch and grade
work, an inclinometer for all vertical
angles and, with the needle, all horizon

for general surveying and engineering.
Ned has certainly responded to the lib

him in spacing no means to equip him

cost him over $100 in cash. Don't quar

How We Celebrated.
The one hundred and twentieth anni
versary of our Republic's existence was
celebrated in Williston according to the
time-honored customs of our forefathers,
and great joy prevailed among the mul
titudes who assembled here to pay hom
age to the proild American Eagle and
to that flag which inspires patriotism in
the breast df every true citizen in the
land. The program for the oc&afcion
was quite an exhaustive one, and was
carried through without a jar or break.
This was diie to the good management
of Mr. Paul Schierbeck, who was dis
bursing officer of the finance committee,
ahd upon whom rested the responsibil
ity of seeing that each item in the pro
gram was carried out in detail.
A large crowd attended the horse
races, which were quite spirited and in
teresting. Several horses were entered
in the running race, but the greatest in
terest centered on Geo. W. Newton's
"Dan" and Thos. B. Allen's "Ned,"—
or as the boys call him, "Diamond
Tjee." Three heats were run and Ned
came out first in all. Brieri Barclay of
Towner rode Ned, but unfortunate for
Dan they had to change riders.
The afterhoon exercises also attracted
considerable attention, and furnished
lots of atriuseuieht. The bicycle race
was won by Paul Leonhardy, with Mr.
Walker, a wool buyer, second.
Owing to the present absence on his
ranch of Mr. Schierbeck, who has the
list, we are unable to give the names of
thl*other lucky winners of prize money.
Suffice It to say that the day was most
pleasantly spent, and everybody seemed
well pleased with the hospitable treat
ment they received at the hands of the
various committees.
This is the way Senator Pettigrew
states his reasons for leaving the St.
Louis convention—and the republican
party: "I left the convention because
I believed the financial question to be
the vital question in this campaign, and
as I could not support or advocate the
single gold standard, I thought I owed
it to the cocftention not to longer
participate in the proceedings, and I
believe that the maintenance cf the
gold standard must result in a farther
decline in prices to the utter ruin of all
producers of wealth, and that even the
adoption of that standard is the cause of
the panic, enforced idleness and misery
among our people. I believe the gold
of the world is cornered by professional
creditors of the world."
W. iS.' Nacey, late of St. Paul, has
opened* a barber shop in Thomas &
Allen's confectionery store, and starts
out with a good share of patronage. Mr.
Nacey is said to be a first-class barber,
and he has struck a first-class place.
