Fargo Republicans: Dakota never en-
tered upon a winter season with so much
actual wealth as she possesses this fall
There is probably lMper cent more grain
i'll storeamong the farmers here TODAY,
than ever before, and while some incon-
venience to commercial circles may be
felt because Of the low prices and slow
marketing Of wheat, vet the wealth is
here nevertheless and will show itself
before another seeding time.
There will be three hundred and twen-
ty-tive members i'm the next house of
representatives, instead of the two hum
dred and ninety three OF the last house.
The eastern representatives have the
seventy-five they had in the last house;
the western states have one hundred in
stead of ninetytwo; the southern states
have one hundred and twenty-one in
stend of one hundred. The democrats
have majority of siXty-four.
The grand jury at Grand Forks, Dak,
have considered the ev idence placed be-
fore them in the matter of DR.. Scott,
capital commissioner, against whom
charges of corruption in connection with
the capital location We're made by the
Grand Forks Herald. The district at
torney ruled the matter out, owing to
the fact that the corrupt bargain and
corrupt consideration was received in
another county. 1t is understood some
evidence will be submitted to the grand
jury in another county before the close
of the circuit court.

CORRECT TO A DOT,
Is the Following from the Cleve-
land Ohio Leader.

InfDakota. enterprise breaks the broad
prairies with the same freedom that a
steamer ploughs the ocean. Energetic
men of even limited means, if in locali-
ties of rich soil and railways, make a
competency in a few years. In 1879 an
acquaintance entered upon the pre-
emption laws one hundred and sixty
acres; raised wheat and i'm three years
sold the land for SO, 400 profit. A clergy
man tired of the dull routine of eastern
watering places, reinveSted in Northern
Pacific railway lands $500 bond unfor
tunately purchased ten wears ago Of Jay
Cooke. To his first purchase he added
others. such as a limited bank account
allowed, occasionally sold and reinvest-
ed. Now he estimates the profits Of
seven vacations in Dakota as follows:
Robust health, vigorous sermons, an
elegant new church built, pastor and
people happy, especially the pastor, who
believes his misfortune in bonds has re-
suited in a fortune of $4,000 in lands.
Lately rode with the son of a college
president, whose debts if credits ten
years ago would have made him COM
Portable. Now he is president of ma
tional bank, and the bank S deposits are
over $500, 600. Charles Goodwin has the
largest cattle ranch in the world at the
head of Red River, Texas. He began
buying land four years ago, getting 27O,-
600 acres. Toinclose his lands two hum
dred and fifty miles of fence is required.
He has 10000 cattle. Wealth in Dakota
and the west is guaranteed by the ex-
periences of ten thousand investors in
other states, who have purchased good
lands at three dollars and less per acre.
Enter your legacy and cultivate what
you can, and hold on to titles for ten,
twenty years, if necessary. This rule
has and will make millionaires.

Effects OF Dakota's Climate.

A few months since Rev. II. NJ. Gallop
who cameto Ypsilanti from Saline where
he had been pastor of the Baptist church,
was unable scarcely to walk with the
aid of staff; he went to Dakota last
summer and such was the bracing in
fluence Of the climate that Sunday, Oct.
7th, he occupied the Baptist pulpit,
standing upright and preachinga vigor-
ous and forcible sermon very acceptable
to the eaudience.-Y psilanti Mich. Com

Obituary.


Departed this life, after an illness of
several months, on the 7th day of Sep
tember, Mr.. Jacob Harper, in the 77th
year Of his age. Deceased was born In
Cumberland county, Pa, but came to
Stark county in his bOyhOOd years, and
has been residing here ever since. In
the year 1928 he was married to Sal0me
LichtenwalteT, by whom he had 10 chill
dren, 6 sons and daughters, of whom
one son and two daughters and also the
mother preceded him into eternity. Mr..
Harper was lifelong and faithful men,
Der of the Lutheran church, and for
many years, until his death, he was con-
nected with the Ev. Luth. Jerusalem
congregation, wOrshipping on East Tus-
carawas street, in this city, which deep
ly feels and meurns his departure. He
was widely known and esteemed by all.
The departed one leaves sons, daugh
ters, sisters, one brother, % grand
children and many other relatives and
friends, who are saddened by his death.
The funeral took place on Sunday morn
ing, at the church on +. TuscaTawas
street, and were conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. l.. +. Meyer, assisted by the
Revs. ID. WOrley and A. H. Feldman, the
former pastor, who happened to be in
the city at the time on short visit. A
very large number of relatives and
friends had already come together at
the house, and when the funeral process
sion arrived at the church 1t was by far
too small to hold all who had come to
pay the last tribute of respect to the be-
loved dead.
After the services at the church, the
procession once more formed, and the
remains of the departed were taken to
Rowland cemetery, where the last solemn
words were spoken, and the body laid
away in the earth, to await the resurrec-
tiOn morn. Thus has departed faithful
christian, a good citizen and a useful
man; his memory will be preserved by
all who knew him.

Minerva Mentions.

Railroad work brings railroad men to
do it, and hence adds to the population
and helps business.
The Minerva Fair will commence Oc-
tObeT 9th, and run four days. Prof. o.
car Hunt, the erOnaut, will make an as
cent on Friday, Oct. 18th. The Canton
City Band will make the music.
A locomotive for the Cleveland, Pitts
burgh 81 Youngstown railway, named
W. r. BeTghOlz, arrived Monday. VIM.
Byers, formerly of the COnnOttOn, is to
be engineer. Several car loads Of steel
rails are here ready for use, and track
laying will soon commence.
The wheat crop around Minerva is
turning out much better than expected.
Mr.. David CrOwl gets yield of about
30 bushels TO the acre, and DR.. j. G. Hos
letter expects as much. The Sandy val
ley farms have always maintained a
fine wheat reputation, and will long
continue, no doubt.
"And often the wayfaring man
Would love 70 nger there;

To gaze on scenes so falr."
