NEEDY SETTLERS.
A Hebrew Colony in Dakota Ruined
by Crop Failure.


FARGO, D. There is u prospect of great
Suffering in Ramsey county. I'D miles north
west OF this place. A colony of Elsbrews,
consisting of ncarly hundred families, has
settled thorc Some members of the party
had money ylioa they cam,. They we're not
used to farming AMI each year haze run
further and further behind. Their farming
implements were bought on time and their
interest mortgaged for provisions.
Most Of them live in Cleveland township,
and this su,umar tho crop looked well and
they comm2ncol b. tiko courage. There
was :. chance, apparently, for them to have
sufficient grain to carry them through the
winter In August n heavy frost, visited that
section. The grain had becn put i'll late. and
was SO green that it was entirely cut down,
and hardly Lushcl of grain has baen har
vested in the township.
Tho condition of these Hebrews has been
hard enough ever since settling hcrc but

merchants o. Devils Lake who hold mart

Ill claims provided the farmers can secure

advance more upon ths already much en-.
numbered property.

y que fea:ulr Of the injury by frost was
the fact that it only injured grain i'll isolated
spots. In one township tic wheat might be
totally destroyed, while all of thoss surround

the land surrounding this Hebrew colony.

Literary Gems That Deny Their Fa.

A writer cannot always get credit for
his own, observes the Atlanta Cons'it't-
ton. The we'll known poem beginning
..Thcre is no Death" is generally cred
tied 10 bnlwer. 1t was written by Editor
McCleery, of the Dubuque Tins, in
1862. One L. Bulmer appropriated
them, and some printer, thinking Bull
mer misprint for Bulwer, corrected it,
as he supposed. So the poem has con-
timed to go the rounds with the name
of the wrong man appended to it. There
is a similar instance in the case of "l'Lc
Children, a pretty poem usually credited
to Charles Dickens. These lines were
written by New York lawyer, named
Flick ;nson, hut mistake Of The cOmpos-

One New Yorkcr's Physical Training.

was at the country house of a New
York lawyer the other night, says T. &.
Crawford, III the New orll World. Ii
all New York business men follow his
course, the English cannot reproach us
with being negligent in the matter of
physical training. This friend, who has
as many busy and hard-worllcd hours
during the day as any one in New ork,
whlN lie reaches home drops all care
and goes in for riding walking and
athletics. In the morning he is up at
c, into IL cold plunge. and then he is
of for an hours run or ride OIL horse
back Then when he returns he has his
rub down, his solid breakfast. and is
away before j to the city. In the
evening he puts on tianne!s and runs for
a half hour before turning in. After the
run he hits the yielding and defenseless
bag until 1880 and then to bed. The
result is that he is brown and hardy, al
though engaged daily in nervous strain
that would soon pull down man of
average frame.

The adapiabiiity Q the bag ing to the GOV,

specimens of any kind, and anything
of educational interest. A room will
be especially fitted up and devoted to
this exhibiJ. Separate space will be
allotted to each district, labelled with
number of district and name of teacher.
Each specimen should be labelled with
name, age and grade of pupil by whom
it is made, as well as number of district.
1t is expected that teachers will de-
rive great benefit from the opportunity
thus afforded to learn what their asso-
ciates are doing, and our school
officers will find it valuable opportu-
nity to make list of progressive
teachers from which to make wise
selection for the next year. 1t is earn
estly hoped that no teacher will fail
to share i'll this exhibit on account OF
the small amount of material he or she
may have preserved or be able to secure.

furnishes little we shall have an in

Our Foundry.

The Great Bend Foundry and Ma
chine works building will, if 10 ac-
cident prevents, soon be ready for oc-
cupancy. The frames of the large
buildings are now up, and the work of
getting the roof and siding on will soon
be completed, Notwithstanding the
present closeness in money matters.
1t is indeed fiattering to note that men
of ample means are going right along
with improvements of this sort, and
such action seems to point to the fact
that the destiny of this city to become
one OF the best in the valley is pretty
we'll understood by the men who are in
the best position to make her such.
Faith among our own people will in
spire faith among strangers, and let
outside capital once get started in this
direction and we will know no ceasing
to our growth and advancement. Never
neglect to say a good word for our
foundry and machine works, and any
other matter of public usefulness and
public interest.

Money Talks.

We happened into one of our bust
ness houses this week and saw six
prominent men writing out checks
one made a check for 800 and the
other five made checks for $40 each.
The 800 man had made bet that the
Rock Island road would be into Great
Bend within the neat seUe1e months, and
the five took him up, believing they
would be winners if they lost and
loosers if they won. We have been
promised developments in this matter
within the next ten days. There will
not be anything very strange about it
if the man wins his 800, because it is
the belief that within the next month
we will have found paying vein of
coal; will have developed our salt pro-
ducing we'll; and the certainty that
Barton county will this year produce
the best crops in the state will be made
doubly sure; therefore the need of an
other great railroad will be a guarantee
of it's coming.
