The Dalrymple Possessions.
FaIgo (Dak, J Republican.

A gentleman who Processes, and who
from his position ought To know, informs
tho Republican TINT Mr.. Oliver Dalrymple
the celebrated wheat.grower OF tho Red
River Valley, has charge OF and controls
the working forces on 55,555 acres Of
land, ms followss Cass Farm, 6,355 acres;
Cheney Farm, $500; Alton Farm. 1000;
Grandin, 10000; also, the Grandin line
Of Rod River boats. The Cass and
Cheney Farms near Casselton were
opened on these conditions: Messrs. Cass
and Cheney purchased the lands, furnish
cd tho stock, implements, buildings seed,
etc, which were charged up TO the COM
bination. These gentlemen entered in-
to ten years contract with Mr.. Dali
rymple, the firm to refund all the cash
outlay WITH per cent. interest, and Mr..
Dalryplo To have half Of nl the land and
profits after paying back from the earn
ings the sum advanced for land and
material, Mr.. Dalryplo TO do all tho bust
ness. AT the close of last season tho
division on the Cass farm was made, and
now Mr.. Dalrymplo owns half oil IL and
equipments. Tho Grandin Farm is under
IL similar contract with Mr. Dalrymple.
The Alton Farm no owns individually,
besides reported interest in the 10000
acre tract Of Mr.. Watson's, south Of
Casselton. The pro.ominent success
achieved. not only in demonstrating the
prodnctibility Of tho valley lands, but his
own remarkable financial and executive
ability, has given Mr.. Oliver Dalrymple
national reputation and made his brill
liant achievements household words.

GENERAL PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
Finally. while isolation and diSinfec-
ton shculdb be thorough and persistent
in the presence and for the restriction
of diphtheria or other dangerous and
contagious diseases, it should be re-
membered that no care TO isolate pa.
tients or to disinfect premises already
contaminated can atone for the neglect
of those precautions which all expert
ence had demonstrated to be capable Of
mitigating tie violence of, if not wholly
preventing, contagious disease of every
kind. Cleanliness anu purity OF air are
the deadly foes of all contagion, pure
air, pure water and pure soil are rs.
sential conditions Of healthful life, and
the surest safeguards against disease
Secure dryness for every part of Your
dwelling by thorough drainage; secure
cleanliness for every part of your
premises by careful removal OF all de-
composing animal or vegetable matter,
by allowing no garbage heap or cess
pool to remain near the house, and by
frequent cleansing and disinfecting the
privy, the contents OF which may ut all
times be kept entirely inotiensive by the
plentiful use of dry earth or coal ashes.
Examine and correct any defects of
sewerage. In short, let there be moth
ing left to pollute the atmosphere or
poison the water supply. Let the sun
and air have free access to the house,
and especially to the sleepingrooms.
Secure proper and well-prepared food,
and comfortable clothing, and "the pes

revels in filth will pass you by seeking

The Dutch War In Achecn.
London Timos, May 81.

The little war" which Holland has
been waging with the Achineso for 30
many years il not yet finished, though
there have been no important active
operations for some months and the
affair IL generally almost forgotten.
The ncessant rams have rendered mil
itary movements impossible, and the
Dutch troops have been employed a.
far as possible in intrenching their pos
itions. collecting provisions, and repair
ing the roads TO the coast. There is
much sickness among the troops. Some
ofthe native chiefs have opened negoti-
atoms for treaty OF peace, but the
state Of the country has prevented reg
ular and rapid communication, and
although hostile attacks on the part Of
the natives have temporarily ceased,
the war is apparently almost as far
from an end % ever.

knocked down. The Belfast man then

saw he had lost an arm, and he said

Intellect in American Dogs.
From Nature

A few months ago ! made the ac-
quaintance of dog, which, think, is
worthy of place among the dogs and
cats and rats and mules that are help
ing the pages Of Nature to determine
the degree and kind of animal intelli-
gence. Priests" is hotel on the way
from the Calaveras Grove Of Big Trees
to the Yosemite. In former years, on
the arrival of the stage, the landlady
would send the dog to the poultry yard
TO catch chickens for the tourists din
ner. Now, the dog takes time by the
forelock." The stage is due at 6 O'Clock.
About ) o'clock the dog saunters leis-
urely down the road till he meets the
stage, he then bounds back TO the poul-
try-yards, catches chickens, bites their
heads off, and takes them to the cook!
The number Of chickens he kills bears
a relation to the number Of passengers
he saw in the stage. A gentleman who
was stopping at the hotel for few days
went into the woods one afternoon with
gun. When ne returned, the dog
came to him in much excitement to see
what game he had taken. Finding his
hands and his bag empty, the dog ran
into the forest, and returned in less than
an hour with bird, which he gave
with an air Of compassion 70 the IN
skillful hunter.
