The appointment of M. L. Marsh as deputy warden of the "pen," seems to give universal satisfaction. Martin is a royai good fellow, well qualified to fill the position, and the board is to be con­gratulated on the selection.

Agnes Anderson lias donated twenty-five copies of her '-Dakota Lullaby" to the carpet fund of the Presbyterian church. The music may be found at Phelp's store, and Mr. Phelps has generously offered to act as agent in the sale without charge for commission.

Executive Manager Dickey and O. G. Meacham. members of the World's Fair board, held a conference with Governor Shortridge on pertinent subjects, Wednes­day afternoon. _ Mr. Dickey reports every­thing in his line as of an encouraging nature. He left for the east last evening, U) look after matters in other localities.

Commissioner of agriculture and labor, Hon. Nelson Williams, has done a very wise thing in retaining W. M. Scott as his deputy. Mr. Scott is one of the best equipped men in the state for the impor­tant and onerous work of that office. As a statistician and a hard, conscientious worker, he has no equal in the northwest.

Harvey Harris: Two members of the Constitutional Convention association of whose presence in the city we were un­aware, dropped in upon us at the banquet Tuesday night. They were Jatnes B. Gayton, of Emmons county, and John Me Bride, of Cavalier. I think they enjoyed themselves to a gresit degree, as did the others.

Four years ago Tuesday Asa Fisher stepped out of the First National bank. Although owning one-sixth of the stock (capital §100,000) all the while, it is said he never entered the bank from the time he lost control until Tuesday, when he again took charge. He succeeds Air. George II. Fairchild, a very conservative and emi­nently respectable and efficient official.

Near Mandan Saturday a farmer named J. M. Nelson was accidentally shot and killed by Henry Harmon, a brother of the ex-railroad commissioner. It seems Har­mon, Nelson and two others were riding in a lumber wagon when a jack rabbit made its appearance and Air. Harmon pulled a revolver to fire at it. The gun went off prematurely with the result above stated.

It is reported a number of the sightless porcines about the city have closed up shop and quit, after a calm and careful reading and a due. deliberation of the proclamation of Attorney General stan-dish. It looks to them as though there was a stormy road to travel in case of their continuance of the business, and they have adopted the course recommended by Mr. Standish.

Valley City Times Record: If the peo­ple hereabouts wish to get the legislative news in such shape that they can tell who the persons are who are mentioned they should take the BISMAIICK TRim;NE,which is sent for the session for 82. The Times-Record has been trying to decipher from the Fargo papers who were the legislative appointees, but has become hopelessly mixed.

The Humane society is arranging for a concert to be given in the near future. The committee having the matter in charge re­port having obtained the consent of some ot the best talent in the state to participate, and as this will be the first time that the society has asked for patronage from the

'public, the event will be looked forward to with pleasure, and no doubt receive a lib­eral patronage,

Mandan Pioneer: Thursday night Char­ley White again demonstrated the fact that lie is bulletproof. He escaped from jail,

and Sheriff Bineenhehner chased him firing two shots. White fell to the earth, but on investigation it was found that the cause of tlie fall was the slipperyness of the ground and not the deadly bullet. It is safe to predict that White won't see much of the outside of the jail before court meets.

Karm> Forum: Arthur Uassett, chair­man of the legislative committee of the North Dakota Firemen's association, an­nounces that there will t>e a meeting of the committee at Bismarck about Jan. 21, in the interests of the association, and re­quests each department to send a delegate to attend the meetmir of the committee. It is also advised that President J. M. Edgerley. of Bismarck, call a meeting of the executive board.

Dr. De Vaux'of Valley .City is in Bis­marck interviewing Governor Shortridge relative to the action of the new adminis­tration on the quarantine service. The quarantine law passed by the national government provides for an efficient ser­vice for each state with ihe latter's co­operation, and it is for the purpose of securing proper legislation in the matter that the doctor visits the capital at this tiiue. Since the Manitoba smallpox scare Dr. De Vaux, as state superintendent ot health, reports 900 emigrants as having entered the state and ninety persons quar antined. Governor Shortridge is said to feel especially interested in the mattei and approves the superintendent's plan of action.

Col. W. H. Brown of Grand Forks,writes to have the TRIHUNE sent to him. He wants to keep posted on the senatorial razzle dazzle, and adds: "1 figure the sen­atorial situation a free fight lor all, and after due consideration 1 don't believethey have hit the right man yet. So if you run across anyone who is a friend of ininethat has a vote that he has not promised to any one. or any one else who wants some one to vote for. 1 will come down and onen up headquarters with a barrel full. I won't say ot what, but it shall be full."

A correspondent of the TRIHUNE. writ­ing from Kentucky to inquire about the climate here, states that the thermometer was 8 degrees below zero on the 28th of December. The extremes of the tempera­ture on that day in Bismarck was 13 below and 11 above zero, or a mean teniDerature of 1 below zero. That is not a bail show­ing for a locality in so much higher a lati­tude than that of our correspondent's home. The weather in North Dakota this whiter, taken as a whole, has compared favorably with that of almost any of the northern parts of the union. It is a good state to flee to in order to escape the terrible storms of New York, representing theeast.and Colo­rado, representing the middle states.

Senator McCormack: I see in the ac­count of the completion of the Great North­ern road that the great enterprise of build­ing the Pacific extension was started Fri­day, October 20,1890, at Harvre, and con­tinued from Spokane, Friday. July 19, 1892, and is now completed on the same day of the week, which causcd Mr. Shieids to say Friday is the Great Northern's lucky-day. This calls to mind some incidents of twenty-two years ago. Jim Hill started out Captain Griggs for the Red river from St. Paul on Friday in the summer of 70 to build a steamboat. The contract for build­ing the boat at McCaullyville was let on Friday to Frazee and the building was be­gun on Friday: the boat was launched on Friday: started down the river on Fridav and there never was a more lucky boat than the little Selkirk, bhemade a hun­dred thousand dollars for her owner. Yes, Friday is Jim Hill's lucky day.

The Washington Post publishes in full the TRIBUNE'S article of some weeks ago, relative to the queer history of one Jacob Barry, and adds the following from the wife of the man who died alone and among strangers: -'Mrs. Barry, who lives at 424 Fifth street northwest, says: 'I am heartly thankful to those kind friends of the west who have so generously interested them­selves in my behalf, and who have forwarded me all the papers, letters in my own hand writing and pictures from my dead husband, and which are fully identi­fied; and particularly to Mr. Barrett, city cterkof Bismarck, N. D.,and the Daily TRIBUNE of that place, and those noble men who forwarded their own affidavits to Mr. Barrett, through whom they were sent to me. And as a soldier's widow, I further desire to thank those brave soldiers, Generals Rosencrans, Helton ana Raum. who voluntarily aided me in my darkest hours."

New Hampshire Senator's Boast.

Counter Charges of Dishonesty and Perfidy Against the Old-Time

Enemy of Chandler.

Governor Ordway in Chicago En

Route to Bismarck to Take a Hand in the Fight.

Gallluger VH. Ordway. Monday's Pioneer Press contained the

following Washington special: WASHINGTON, Jan. 8—"We have had a

great many political calamities in this country of late, but I hope there will not be such a one as the election of N. G. Ordway to the United States senate." So spoke Senator Gallinger to the Pioneer Press correspondent to day. The junior senator from New Hampshire seems to think he knows Ordway pretty well. He was president of the New Hampshire state senate when Ordway made his last appear­ance .in New Hampshire politics, and his remark was occasioned while discussing Ordway's candidacy for the senate from North Dakota. Speaking further of Ord­way. Senator Gallinger said:

After Ordway came ba-k to New Hamp­shire from Washington he was a candidate for the lower house in the legislature and defeated. He ran again in a democratic district and by the use of money was elected. In 1S70 he was elected to the stale senate by means which did not meet public approval. The methods practiced were notorious, and the people of the state had no turther use for Ordway. The senate that term consisted of twelve members. During the session we had numerous votes upon public questions, and the record was eleven yea or nay, and Ordway alone on the opposide in nearly every instance. When he went to Dakota Territory it was understood that he desired to recoup the losses he had sustained in his political speculations. Senator Gallinger also had something to say about Ordway posing as a friend of the people, and when informed that Ordway had stated his position in the North Dakota contest was to secure pure political methods, said it was the same old hypocritical cant used and worn out in New Hampshire more than twelve years ago.

This telegram caught the eye of Gov­ernor Ordway, who was at the Audito­rium hotel, Chicago, yesterday, and as soon as the wires could convey the mes­sage, the following vindication was re­ceived for publication:

CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 11.—I have just read the Pioneer Press Wash­ington dispatches purporting to give attacks upon myself by Senator Gallinger, which are very untruthful and undoubt­edly grow out of the bitter personal feud existing between the two New Hampshire senators, Gallinger and Chandler, with the latter of whom I was on intimate personal relations before removing to Dakota. In answer to the charge of misuse of money on my part in New Hampshire elections, everyone there knows that such charges are ridiculous, especially as coming from Senator Gallinger, whom Senator Chandler has publicly charged for a long time al­most daily, over his own signature, in the leading republican papers in New Hamp­shire with the use of

METHODS TO OBTAIN HIS SEAT in the United States senate which would almost overtop what has been common re­port in regard to the manner in which Senator Casey obtained his seat from N'-rtli Dakota three years ago at Bis­marck. The statement that 1 ran for a seat in the lower house for my native town of Warner and was beaten, is wholly false. I was elected three times to the lower house, also to a constitutional convention and the state senate successively with the three railroads which Chandler charges have put Senator Gallinger into the United States senate against me, simply because as a member of an equaliz­ing tax commission I had compelled those roads and other corporations owned by foreign capital to pay a share of their just proportion of the state taxes, thus lighten­ing the

UNJUST BURDEN OK THE FAHMEILS And small property holders. It is true that under the unjust and unequal appor­tionment of members of the New Hamp­shire state senate, which is based upon taxable property instead of upon population or votes, that the railroads and mammoth cotton corporations did pack the last little jug handle senate with a large majority of their employes. I shall always be proud of my own vote and my single-hauded light in the last packed senate in '79 in the in­terests of the people of that state, i only resigned my two years' term in the New Ilsmpshire senate when it was half through to accept the office of governor of Dakota, which was tendered me by the president and his cabinet, all of whom had known me personally in public life, and was unanimously confirmed by the senate when it contained a democratic majority. 1 am not responsible for any personal attacks made upon anyone and simply asked to be heard in the same proper man­ner in which 1 make the request in justice and fairness without prejudice or malice.

Th" matter of State of North Dakota ex rel. Diebold Lock Co. vs. Auditor of Kddy county, was submitted on the hriets »i!cd. This controversy arises out of the puichase by the board <>f county commis­sioners of Eddy county, of a jail and ceil outfit,the purchase price exceeding the amount for which commissioners have the authority to purchase without submitting the question to a vote of the people. The board audited and allowed the bill, but the auditor refuses to draw the wart ant and the lock company brings a proceeding in mandamus to compel him so to do. Judge Rose decided against the company and the appeal is on their behalf.

Court met at 2 o'clock this afternoon und adjourned till 10 a. in., to-morrow.

Quite Hudly Iturned. A. S. Capehart was quite seriously and

painfully burned on Sunday morning. The furuace in his residence failed to work properly, and at the request of a servant Mr. Cr.pehart went down into the furnace room to investigate as to the cause of the trouble. As he opened the furnace door the pent up flames rushed out, burn­ing off his moustache and eyebrows and painfully scorching his fane. Medical assistance was at once summoned and the injured parts were dressed with a soothing application. Mr. Capehart was in much pain at first, but was able to be about on the street yesterday. It is thought that temporary inconvenience will be tlie only bad result of the accident.

Mr. Cope is the gentleman proposed for the office by Mr. ltondesvedt, and to quote that gentleman, lie is "a good democrat, a worthy citizen and a credit to this state/' Mr. Watnberjg after voting for Maratta joined with Rondesvedt and voted for Cope. Williams continued to stay with himself until near the last, when he swung his whole strength—one vote—to S. K. McGinnis.

The Farmer aud PollticH.

The prosperity of a farmer to-clay de­pends more on the methods he employs than on governmental rule. Many farm­ers who are alive to their own interests in other things are oareless in buyiug seeds. They seem to think that a seed is a seed aud there, it ends. If there was more knowledge about seeds and greater care exercised in their selection, there would be richer crops and better returns.

Realizing this, D. M. Perry & Co., the famous seed firm of Detroit, Mich., have embodied in their Illustrated Animal for 1893, muoh valuable information about seeds and their selection. It con­tains the knowledge gleaned from many years practical experince in the seed buisnees, and the newest and best things about gardens and gardening. Such a book issued by a firm of unquestioned reliability is the highest value to every­one who plants a seed. Although the cost of priniing and embellishing it with beautiful illustrations has been great, it is sent free to any one making application to the above firm.

A bunch of keys has been handed into the postofllce and will be turned over to the owner upon application.
