presence of a we'll known farmer of the
Devils Lake region who was at the Iro-

Among the few Republicans who by
invitation attended the banquet was
"Col. Pat" DOMAIN, the great American
cosmopolitan. His face was a study.
He picked up a number of "pointers''
which he will utilize as a basis OF red hot
newspaper articles. During Gen. Sparks

The Ghoul1sh Work of John b.
Raymond's Enemies.
Duluth Daily News.
The friends of Hon. John B. Ray.
mond, deceased. late delegate to con.
gress for Dakota, were panied and sur
prised, some months ago. by reading q
sensational statement that Mr.. Ray
mond, as administrator Of the Weber
estate, had been guilty of criminal mall
administration. No one who knew MI.
Raymond believed the story true, and
the News IS glad to be able to state, on
the authority of one whose relations
with Mr.. Raymond and whose acquaint-
ance with his affairs make his statement
worthy of the utmost confidence, that
the facts in the 8 warrant no such
conclusion as was reached by the person
who originated the libelous dispatch.
On the other hand, Mr.. Raymond
proved himself in this case, as in all
others, the very soul of honor. The
facts are these: Some years ago Mr.
Raymond and friend named Weber
we're associated together at jackson,
Miss. The latter died and appointed
MI. Raymond, jointly with Mrs. Weber,
guardian of a daughter and executor Of
the estate, which would be hers when
she should attain her majority. With
the full knowledge of Mrs. Weber, Mr.
Raymond invested this estate in Oak ota
farming lands, and for some time paid
10 per cent interest upon it, until bad
crops ard other causes made this longer
Impossible; and, in order to avert any
possible trouble, he at once made owe
a mortgage covering the farm and a
chattel mortgage covering everything
he owned in the world to John B. Ray
mond and the widow of Mr.. Weber as
administrators. This more than covered
the total amount of his Indebtedness to
the estate, and while it left HIM in poy-
erty it proved again his splendid per-
sonal integrity.
Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, has in
his possession letters dating as far back
as 1879, from Mrs. Weber. approving
the investment in the Dakota property,
and indicating her full acquaintance
| with all his acts IN connection with the
property.
The News will say nothing Of the orr
gin of the s%candalous dispatch. Infu-
entail friends will look after that, but it
takes a pleasure deep and genuine in
clearing up a cloud which has been al
lowed to rest on the memory of n OF
the purest, truest men that Dakota has
ever called u citizen.

Keeping Too Much Stock.

Farmers should keep no more stock than they
can provide shelter for and can properly feed
through. / am satisfied that there is more
money lost by farmers keeping poor quality of
stock, and keeping it in poor condition, than in
any other way. l would rather have ten head
of we'll bred stock that had been well wintered
than have fifteen head of poorly bred ones
that had been left out all winter in the snow
storms and the cold rains. Many of our farm
ers are hard run for pasture this dry season;
they had more stock than their pastures
could carry without damage, and the stock alto
the grass off short as fast as it grew in the early
part of the season. and when the drought came
the ground was nearly bare. There was not
enough heritage to keep the surface shaded and
the sun parched it, and the grass stopped grow
ing so did the cattle, and also the farmers
pocket-book. l have noticed that pastures that
were not turned into until the grass got good
start, held out better the season through than
those that were overstocked early in the season.
think, also, that the better matured grasses are
much more nutritious.
