The boys are enjoying the skating on tbe river and their short surcease of school duties. Old times seem to have come again along the Missouri. Eight variety per formers and their soenery, have gone to Winona to open out a show.

Lieutenaut Farnsworth, United States military instructor at the State versity, who has many acquaintances in Jamestown, and Mies Bosard of Grand Forks were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Wednesday. Warden Boucher and A. T. Welch of the state penitentiary at Bismarck brought Conviot William Howard to the insane asylum last night.

L. Parsons, of Wells county, who ran for tbe office of county auditor, was defeated by 15 votes and intends to contest the election. It is stated that tbe election methods in that county were not all thnt they should have been. Among the visitors at the capitol this week have been AUin and Treasurer-Elect Nichols. The former will occupy the elegant mansion provided for the state's executive, and Mr.

Jamea Thompson, of Davenport, Iowa a large property owner in Stutsman county and proprietor of the Davenport farm, located near Eldridge, through care, worry and overwork, has been clared insane and a guardian appointed for estate, valued at about 33,000,000. It is hoped that bis illness is only porary, and that with rest and attentior he will be fully restored. His guardian is Joe. R.

Lane, an attorney of port. The Thanksgiving ball, given by the Workmen last night, was largely tended and well enjoyed by all. The muaic was good and the gentlemen preaent literally bad their bands full. The ladies were there in numbers exceeding tbe men, and the latter the tapis" most of tbe time. The ball was a very enjoyable affair and reflected much credit upon those in charge of it.

Lunch was served during tbe evening. Judge Bartholomew dissented from tbe decision of tbe other members of tbe supreme court in the Dallair liquor case on tbe point that the indictment was not specific as to time. In this he agrees with Judge Rose. On the points of the names of parties violating said law, and that the indictment did not state there was a violation of the law, Judge tholomew agreed with the other judges. Aberdeen News: About 8:30 last ing a large'and brillant meteorite flashed up from the southern horizon, arching gracefully northward, and when ently directly overhead burst into numerable fragments amost beautiful display of celestial pyrotechnics to those who were fortunate enough to see it.

And this recalls the inoident of two years ago when at mid-day what must been a very large one swept the heavens and oast its igneous fragments taneously at Mellette and Bath. Rev. Van Vliet arrived at his fornia home, Roseville, Nov. 24, and that evening was tendered a reception by his oongregaiion. He writes for The Alert and says: We are at our new home in a quiet village of a few hundred tants, but in the midst of green foliage and beautifnl flowers.

No fire in our rooms and windows raised as in a North Dakota mid-summer. Our parsonage grounds are covered with orange, tig, lemon, peach and magnolia trees and all kinds of flowers, which are in their maiden glory. Tbe people had tbe sonage larder renewed before we reached them. A dozen of last summer's Coxeys, were taken to Grand Forks Wednesday night, for trial on the charge of stealing tbe Northern Paciflo train at Dawson and running it a portion of the distance to this city. The young men have been in jail since June last, awaiting a ing.

This seems an excessive length of time to deprive men of liberty, out a trial. They have been well oared for by Sheriff Donnelly of Burleigh county, however. They were shackled two and two on the train. The boys did not liave tbe appearance of criminals and were bright, strong, active fellows immensely pleased to be in the world again, even under their adverse stances and with the uncertainty of a trial before them and along sentence for doing what many others did last mer in the Coxey crusade and were not punished for. The freaks of justice in many cases seem well illustrated in this.

The whereabouts of the 14-year-old boy who desired to claim kinship with EI. B. Allen Saturday, have not yet been learned. Although Chief of Police Thompson got on the trail of the boy but a few minutes after he left tbe store, he WHS not discovered in tbe vioinity nod no active search instituted, thinking that he would show up at the Capital hotel for supper, where his grip remained, but the boy that was looked come. It is supposed that he took the hint and boarded the first train out of town.

Who be is, wbere he came from and where be went to is now the drum. He registered at the hotel as Oleson, but told Allen bis name waa Allen also thnt he lived with his mother in St. Paul, giving the atreet and ber. He stayed a day at the hotel, ing come in the evening on away freight from Fargo. His grip, which is retained at the hotel as security for his hill, tains anew suit of clothes and numerous articles more or lesa valuable.

Miss Maud Bronson has been engaged as assistant principal. George Bircbard of Oliver county, waa brought to Manduu Sunday for medical assistance, having accidently shot self while bunting.

An auction sale this afternoon ted a small crowd at the police station. A cow went for 89.25, a horse for $5 and a good looking pony for 817. A few other articles were sold. The Forum saya the creamery people at Wheatland had a meeting Saturday and have 83,500 pledged and 300 cows. The meeting Saturday elected officers and engaged a superintendent.

ing will commenoe at once. Receiver Kinter in the Fargo Argus says: I was the only candidate in the last campaign who had a cinch on ting to Bismarck. I told the people so, but evidently they didn't believe me. I assume my duties as receiver of the marck land office Deo. 1st.

At Grafton on Thanksgiving eve a number of young society people ably rendered the drama, "Among the ers." A unique feature was the music rendered by the Ladies Cornet band. The proceeds were distributed among the needy of the city on Thanksgiving morning. Western Womanhood, a bright little paper published at Tower City by May Tousley, and devoted to tbe interests of North Dakota women, has a short graphical account of Mra. Elizabeth White, of this city. This is one of a series of papers which is being given of the representative women of the state.

A. W. Kelley baa removed his office one door west from the old stand, at the corner of Fifth avenue and Second to make room for Mr. Johnson's tailoring establishment. The fuel and feed ness is still carried on as before, minished.

His patrons have to go a few steps further, that is all, to present their orders. The cantata of "Esther" will be rehersed Monday evening, after which, it is understood, stage rehersals will be held at the opera house until the date of presentation to the public. Mr. Colby is doing efficient work and getting the solo and chorus parts well developed. The cantata, when presented, will be a surprise to the public, both in the cellence of voices and the chorus work.

The State Veterinary association which has been in session at Grand Forks, pointed a committee to urge tbe passage of a bill by tbe new legislature to tect tbe interests of tbe profession from wandering quacks. The following ficers were elected for the ensuing vear: President, Dr. Turcot, Langdon VicePresident, Dr. Farmer, Lakota tary and Treasuier, Dr. Hinebaugb, Fargo.

Attention is directed to the new tisement of Johnson, the tailor, which appears in this issue. He has opened a shop at tbe corner of Fifth avenue and Seoond street, wbere he will be glad to greet all his old ouetomera and new ones, as well. He baa long been a resident and tailor in tbe city and has acquired a reputation for tbe exoellenoeof bis work. As a trade feeler he presents greatly reduced prices in anitings. Give him a call.

The Coxeyites who got into the trouble nt Dawson laat June were arraigned terday in the United States oourtat Grand Forks on the charge of resisting offioers. Their trial and tbe result will be regarded with considerable interest. Indictments were returned, Saturday, against all of them. Attorney General Standieh appeared as attorney for the Coxeys and, after the indictments were read by Clerk Montgomery, asked time to confer with the prisoners before pleas were entered. The three men who are alleged to have resisted United States marshals at Mandan were also indioted, but it is believed that the evidence is sufficient to conviot but one.

Senator Hansbrough, while en route to Washington, waa caught by a neapolis Journal reporter at St. Paul He quotes the senator from North kota as saying that the so-called more plan of finance, which President Cleveland is championing, "is not likely to be accepted by this or any future gress. No financial plan exclusively tated by bankers' association is lated to bring the needed iinanoial relief to tbe country. No relief oan come from any plan that does not first broaden tbe baais of money of final redemption. What ia needed is bi-metallism.

Tbe way to secure this, in my judgement, is by an international agreement between Germany, Franoe, Italy and the United States, leaving England out of the tion altogether. Tbe latter country will never agree to bi-metalliam until forced to doao by sheer necessity. An ment between tbe countries I have tioned, excluding England, would give a anew lease of prosperity to tbe tries to the agreement, and cause an emigration of people from England which would soon bring a gold basis country to her knees." From Monday's Dally. We sat together side by side In total darkness. Yet I know Her lips were moving now and Somehow I (elt that this was so.

-Life. G. H. Cowles returned today from a Fargo visit. Attorney Camp is attending oourt at New Rockford.

Johnny Anderson of Fargo spent day in the city. F. Barrett ana wife have taken rooms at the Capital hotel for the winter. Prof. Colby organized a singing class of forty pupils at Hunter last week.

Judge Rose and BOU Edward left for New Rockford this morning to hold a term of cocrt. Miss Ida Balch left last evening for Valley City, wbere she will attend the normal school. Beautiful warm, bright weather.

By many it is taken to be the indication of an open winter. A female "spotter," in the interest of the Law and Order League, was ling in May ville last week. Tbe convict from tbe state cently brought to the insane hospital, agined that be was a mind reader. Tbe Alert is in receipt of a copy of tbe Messenger of Humboldt, which, in this distant state, is looking for a chaser. Thos.

Doughty, of Carrington, who spent Thanksgiving with W. H. Doughty at Ypsilanti, returned to bis home this morning. To those of our readers who enjoy an evening of comic opera we announce the coming of the Calhoun Opera company Saturday evening. Byron Millard, who bas gone into tbe news and stationery business at San Jose, writes to have The Alert sent to him.

He says it is a welcome visitor. The Artesian Hose company will meet Wednesday evening. A full attendance is desired, as it is the intention to pend members and elect others in their place. Out at Wilhston they have a blind pig. The sign of the establishment is not to be misinterpreted, not at all.

It consists of canvas on which is painted a red porker, minus the eye. E. P. Wells has returned from the Twin Cities. He left Mrs.

Wells greatly improved in health. Stewart Wells also returned today, Miss Margie remaining in Minneapolis for tbe present. E.E.Martin has dissolved bis penter partnership with L. C. Hotchkiss, and tomorrow evening will leave for Mobile, where bis wife is at present, she having preceded him some weeks ago.

David Martin of Grandin, Traill county, vice president of tbe Alliance Hail association, was an arrival this morning to confer with President Fancher in regard to the association's business. Assistant E. H. Thompson, of the weather bureau at Bismarok, bas been removed by the department, and will be transferred to Miles City, and server Boynton, of Miles City, will take his place. George Webster was quite sick day and last nigbt, but today is what improved, being less delirious.

His sicknsss is due to typhoid fever Hnd sibly induced by too close work at the bank tor several weeks. Miss Emily Kennedy, stenographer, and Mrs. Fred Smith and Miss Ilattie Barnard, all asylum employes, left this morning for a week's visit with friends in the southern part of the state. The first goes to Ludden and the others to Ellendale. Tunstall Mitchell today removed to their new location in the basement of the Gladstone block, immediately under their previous location.

The new place has been tastefully fitted up. Three bath tubs and closet have been put in. Four chairs will be run, as before. The shop is a popular one and always bas a large patronage as it deserves. A Bismarck dispatch to the neapolis Tribune states tbatE.

S. Allen and E. G. Patterson of the Sheridan house have been indioted by the United States grand jury at Grand Forks for wholesaling liquor without a license. They were arrested at Bismarok and gave bonds for appearance at the next term of court.

Allen has just been elected state's attorney of Burleigh county. A lady formerly of this city bas donated a fine piano to tbe Catholic bazaar, to be held for the benefit of tbe society, Deo. 20,21 and 22 also a 3-yearold colt and a handsome sewing chine have been donated. Tickets for the disposal of piano and colt 50 cents each. The bazaar promisee to be equal, if not superior, to others for tbe short time in which there is preparation for the same.

Tbe sewerage assessment committee have their work well under way and would have had it completed, to report at this meeting of the city council, but for a delay in receiving from tbe city olerk the total cost of the sewer on which to base the benefits which accrue to each lot. It was impossible to cbmplete tbe work in time to get the assessments on the tax books this year, as the process of completing the assessment occupies many weeks. The benefits to be derived by each lot have practically been decided upon, but not the tax. The Stutsman comity tax suit against the Northern Pacific railroad, decided favor of tbe former, recently, by tbe preme court has had an important ence in this and other states. The deen democrat contains an account of the case and its reference to a law firm of that city.wbo were interested in the come to the extent of 25,000 acres of land in Riobland, LaMoure and Stutsman counties.

An Iowa capitalist saved about 3100,000 worth of equitiee and is accordingly pleased. Veterinarian Moore, who is interested in tbe reports concerning tbe ance of hog obolera in certain parts of the state, suggests tbe following ventative: A thorough cleansing and disinfecting of all pens and enclosures where hogs are kept. Give them pure drinking water and a little chloronate soda (solution), from one-ba toore dram to each hog, once a day. A good disinfectant can be made with strong solution of creoline, one ounce to a quart of water, or a little chloro-naptholum. The county commissioners this noon held along secret session in ference with Sheriff Eddy.

Of course nothing was given out as to their aotion but, it is understood on good authority, that active work will at once be begun in the Tromer attempted murder and this sifted to the bottom. Sheriff Eddy leaves tomorrow to look over the ground thoroughly and gather evidence for tbe trial now soon to occur. Searching ties have been out looking into wells, but no clue to the whereabouts of Tromer yet discovered. The numerous abandoned wells will be thoroughly explored by the sheriff. When the eleven Coxeys were arraigned at Grand Forks all plead guilty to the charge of combining together to resist United States officers.

Judge Thomas then sentenced all except Paul Bresnehan and Ed. Smith to thirty days imprisonment in the Grand Forks county jail. The judge gave the men some good advice and stated that he had in pronouncing sentence taken into sideration the fact that they bad piead guilty and that they had already been in jail at Bismarck about six months. In the cases of Smith and Bresnehan, who are regarded as the leaders, sentence was deferred. Yancey, the Burlington railroad porteur, went duck hunting at Minnewnnkan this fall.

He is a better man to hunt passengers for tbe Burlington than to hunt ducks with in a boat. His gun went off and instead of killing a duck he shot a hole in the bottom of the boat, and the boys with him had to do the greatest pumping act of their lives to get to shore. Even then tbe boat went down along ways from land, and Yancey and the other gunners waded in from water up to their eyes. Not content with this exploit tbe St. Paul papers relate how the passengers on a branch line train cently tbonght that a dynamite ion had ocourred, but learned afterwards that it waa only Yancey wearing his new pair of are so loud as to be heard twenty miles away.

Over Time at One House. J. B. Lewis Jk Boston, are now making extensive alterations in their tory at Avon, so that tbey can take care of their largely increased ness. Last season they were obliged to decline some orders is justice to their customers.

This speaks very loudly the praises of this conoern, and while other manufacturers were closed, tbey were running overtime. The Boot and Shoe Reporting statistics show this firm to be doing the largest volume of ness of any manufacturer selling to tbe retail trade from Boston, which is the heart of tbe boot and shoe industry of tbe country. FOR HOLIDAYS Macaroons. Lady Fingers. Jelly Bolls.

Railroad Mumblings. Tbe branch line receiverships of the Northern Pacific have all beeu closed out. The branch lines comprise about 2,000 miles of track. The N. P.

J. B. Kelley, formerly roadmaster of this division, but of late employed on the Northern Pacific coal docks at Fargo, baa secured a position on a road in Kansss at salary of $195 per month. He will move bis family there in a few weeks. Stenographer M.

G. Andrews or Supintendent Wilson's office leaves this evening for the east to stndy medicine. It is understood that bis position will be taken by a stenographer from St. Paul. Mr.

Andrews has made many friends here who predict for him a successful professional career. Dispatches state that an immense tidal wave at Tacoma Wednesday night, sides doing $50,000 damage to property, also destroyed John Hanson, a watchman at the Northern Pacific hydraulic pump, who went down in the debris and not be found. He was roasted to death or drowned. All tbe cattle pens of tbe Northern Pacific, together with the office and that company's 400-foot freight house, went down to the ground and fire at once broke out, and the pump station disappeared in the debrip.

the dock which fell into the bay is on that portion of the water front which the city of Tacoma bas been trying to secure from the railroad and Tacoma Land comcompany. Steamboat men claim a tidal wave twenty-five feet high rushed up the sound and tore the dock away. There are many in Jamestown who can fully concur in tbe following in the Fargo Argus: There is a general kick being made from Fargo to Jamestown at the proposed laying off of tbe local ger trains on the Dakota division of the Northern Pacific. Tbe railroad company never before ran local trains which gave so much satisfaction to tbe pnblic as Nos. 7 and 8, and the patrons of tbe road are at a loss to understand tbe reason of their withdrawal, as the trains are ways well patronized.

Tbe ance of these passeuger trains will be a serious injury to Fargo, and tbey bava been tbe means of bringing maay tional people to Fargo who would not come if they had to oome one night and return tbe next. As tbe schedule is now arranged people along tbe line can reach tbe city at 2:40 p. m. and return home the same evening and still have time enough to transact their business, attend tbe theatre, and Fargo people can, in a little over half a day, reach and turn from any point between here and It is largely to the interest of every business man of this the people along the line, as secure the retention of these trains. It is inimicable to Fargo's interests that any of the present trains should be taken off, and tbe apparent lethargy of the business men regarding this important matter cannot be understood.

Why, in tbe Twin Cities such a proposition would arouse the people at once. "The divil take him who won't help himself." rain Com mission WEST SUPERIOR. DVLtlTB, MINNEAPOLIS. G. W.
