promising young man, about 10 years Of age,
and up to last fall had enjoyed excellent health.
While plowing last fall he got wet and took
cold, but refused to give up until compelled so
do by the aggravated character of the attack,
and from that time till his death has been un-
able to leave the house. The primary cause Of
his trouble was pronounced by his physician
to be heart disease, which superinduced rheu-
matism and dropsy. He received every care
and attention during his long illness that kind
and loving parents could bestow.

Wheat producers in the United States ought
not to fear Australian competition, which has
been held up to them occasionally as something
very formidable. AS matter Of fact, the
wheat output In Australia is decidedly un-
certain quantity. Some years you see it and
in other years you dent see it. There is de-
ficiency there this year Of 22,000,000 bushels,
instead Of big surplus for export. In India,
too, there is great falling off. Neither India
nor Australia is a dangerous competitor. The
Canadian Northwest is possible future COM

Fires sometimes cause ludicrous situations
when people are suddenly awakened from
their slumbers. Such was the case the night
of the elevator fire. A gentleman Of portly
dimensions the owner of valuable horse,
was rudely awakened by some one pound
ing on his door and yelling that the livery barn
was on fire. '.My God! my horse" exclaimed
the cid gent as he sailed forth, one leg thrust
through his unmentionables the other bare,
sans hat making bee line for the barn. His
attitude as he stood, after discovering his mis-
take, is described by those who saw him as
being too ludricrous for anything,

Isn't it about time that some steps were
being taken to organize an agricultural associa-
tion for Steele county and holding county
fair? Neighboring counties all around US are
moving in this matter, and certainly there is
no reason why Steele county should not occupy
a position in the front rank of everything that
tends to material development and advance
ment. Some Of the most fertile lands in Da-
kota lie within the borders of Steele county,
her products are rs diversified and equal in
every respect, and her citizens are as intelli-
gent and public spirited as any In the territory.
Our farmers have already made fair begin
ming in stock raising, and we have one large
stock farm already established, and county
fair would DO the means of stimulating the
production of higher and better grades. Let
us have county fair next fall to which we
can invite the world.

Editor Potter has lengthy article in last
weeks Progress and Chronicle in which he
assumes that the republican convention will
declare for division OH the seventh standard
parallel, the two halves to be known as North
and South Dakota, and that the democrats
will oppose division and favor admission as a
whole, and continues: "What is wanted this
year is the largest possible majority for divis-
ion, and consequently for the republican ,can-
didate. The south has alienated much north
ern sympathy for the state movement by un-
wisely appropriating the name Of Dakota, and
by permitting new title to lie given to the
north, in the senate bill. MI. Clifford did not
prevent this. II, therefore, the south, with
tile undoubted power to renominate Mr.. Gif-
ford, should refrain from doing so, and should
bestow its confidence upon northern candi-
date, northern sentiment would thereby be
conciliated, and the expression for division and
statehood rendered more decisive, while the
tone and temper Of the territorial Legislature
as to matters affecting the two sections woult
be apt to be more agreeable every way"
