At the foot of the grave is small
marble foot-stone with the letters N.
e.. L." engraved uponit. Surrounding
this grave are the graves OF seven other
nersons, but there are no stones or
monuments to iden5ltf the occupants
of any of them, and all are sadly neg
lected. The deserted spot is but short
distance from the highway, but it is so
situated that it can be reached only by
crossing cultivated fields. With the
proper efforts the place might be made
very attractive, however, and there is
some talk among the people here OF
identifying it aud erecting, more

The place is seldom visited by strangers
and rarely by the people living here
abouts.
Not more than two hundred yards

DAKOTA NIPS.

There are a good many farmers in
Dakota who have had profitable sea-
son, if wheat was a short crop. For in
stance. Mr.. NATwICK, in Brookings
county. had over 1000 bushels of flax
on his 16O acres, and has upwards of
s.. 900 in the Bank as the result. In the
midst of the frost and hard wheat re-
gions, many farmers are reporting a
profitable year. G. w. WooD, in the
west part of Grand Forks county, had
500 acres of No. hard that threshed
from fourteen to twenty bushels
per acre. He will net a hand
some sum at present figures. Mr..
SHoRTRIDGE, in the same section,
rather likes the shortage, as he will
make as much off of his 1000 bushels
as he did off of 5000 last year. The
Grandin, one of the largest bonanza
farms, on the first 10000 acres threshed,
has all average of 10 bushels an acre.
Those big farms have seldom averaged
over 16 to Is bushels per acre, so the
robust market this year will bring them
about as much money as usual 1t is

to speak of this year who are in the

Special to the Globe
ABERDEEN, Sept. 2s.-The attitude
of the Ruralist, the official organ of the
Farmers alliance, published at Aber-
deem, i'll the matter of Mathews candi-
dacy,has been the subject Of much COM
ment in territorial papers. Republican
papers have either mistakenly or will
fully claimed that the Ruralist has come
out in favor of Mr.. Mathews, but such
is not the case. In the Ruralist of Sept.
5 an editorial appeared speaking of Mr..
Mathews in kindly terms, though IN no
sense indOrsing his candidacy. Such
action would have been in direct OppO-
Sition to the
NON-PARTISAN PRINCIPLES
OF the organization. Yet this utterance,
qualified as were its terms, has made
things decidedly interesting in alliance
circles. The clause which declares that
MIR. Mathews has been friendly to the
farmers and to alliance legislation has
excited the most criticism, and it is this
assertion which proves cOnclusively
that the editorial did not come from the
editor. Mr.. Crosse, who, as speaker of
the house at the last session, knew that
Mr.. Mathews record "a friend of the
farmer" was not shining one in the
territorial council. The facts as to
ORIGIN AND MOTIVE

A GOOD CRUSADE.

Some of the good ladies of the W. G.
T. U. in the North have proven unequal
to the task of immuring in their own
minds the action of the union upon the
gum-chewing question, if the reports
received are reliable. If the action is
revealed correctly, it was resolved in
secret session to wage crusade against
the prevalent habit of the young ladies,
and many only comparatively youthful
For some reason not quite understood
this determination was to be kept from
the public. Possibly there was credit
given to the unjust imputation that
Dakota maidens, as well as some else
where, are inclined to be willful and
perverse when made the objects
of compulsory measures. They in
Variably kick at the word obey
when carelessly left in the marriage OBJ
legation. An organized assault upon
this cherished fOible, if that is the word,
might cause a dOrsal erection, es-
pecially if supported or encouraged by
the male element. The design of the
matrOns evidently was for each to en-
force discipline and represSive measures
in her own domestic jurisdiction. If
the publicity given the matter shall
tend to thwart the excellent purpose, it
will be a source of regret. In all the
prominent Dakota towns gum-chewing
is reputed as common with the young
ladies as the maSticatiOn of the weed is
with the other sex of most any age. AS
thev promenade the streets with each
other or their beauX, their jaws are seen
in active exercise, and splitting is not
unknown. 1t is not insisted that this
obnoxious and not at all grace
full practice is confined to Dakota towns
or females, but the w. c. T. L. there is,
so far as information is had. i'll advance
of auy other section in taking ground
to eradicate this peculiarly feminine
vice. The matter is referred to in order
to commend and encourage this cru
SADIE. If it can be sandwiched in be-
tween their objurgatiOns of liquor and
tobacco, it is not certain but that it will
effect quite as much good as effort
upon either of the other reformatory
lines. Aside from the coarseneSS and
essential vulgarity of the practice, those
competent to pronounce class it with
habits that mar the image of Deity. If
it makes the full cheeks, rosy with
health, gaunt, bOny and pallid, as al
legged, unmarried females, at least, can
not afford to continue to chew. In any

is DOING BETTER NOW,
Had Been Losing One Hundred
and Fifty Dollars Per Month.


Special 10 the Globe.
MANDAN, Sept. 2S.-I was coming up
a branch of the Northern Pacific a few
days ago. when l met a gentleman in
terested i'll one of the many creameries
that was started this summer. | asked
him how the institution was doing.
1--WE are losing $3.50 a month. now,"
was the reply. But that is not so bad
as we have been doing. We ship our
product to Chicago, where it commands
a good price. When we first started we
lost good deal more than that, and we
shall have to shut down if we don't do
better than we are able to do at pres
ent'
asked how it came about that they
were losing so much. "Well," was the
reply, 1--WE pay 10 cents for a gauge of
cream-that is, as much cream as will
make pound of butter. We get 20
cents for our butter in Chicago.
Out of the q cents margin we
should pay for collecting the cream
and this one item eats up the whole 4
centS-the salaries of our buttermakerS
and manager; tubs, freight to Chicago,
commission on the butter, fuel, ice. and
the thousand and one expenses that
come upon us in a way that creamery
man only can understand"
| asked what the farmers in that vi
cinity could get for their butter at the
stores. He replied that they could get
10 cents pound in trade. Then why,
in the name OF common business sense,
should the creamery pay them 16 cents
in cash for the cream that would make
a pound of butter, going to their doors
for it? The reply was, The creamery
was started for the
BENEFIT OF THE FARMERS,
and if we did not pay this much we
should not get enough cream to make
it an object to run the creamery" l
suggested to him that it would be better
for them to shut up altogether
than to run OH the present basis,
and further ventured the as
sertion that the farmers did as
much kicking over the price they were
getting as they would if they were get
ting 10 cents, or say II cents. | was
told that probably L was right; the
farmers kicked all the time. because
they did not get IS cents, and notwith-
standing all that was said to them they
claimed that the creamery was making
lots of money.

lance company have made it impossible
for him to give the paper his close, per-
S0nal attention. Recently the editorial
work of the paper has been done at the
office of the Aberdeen News, where
the paper is now printed. Shortly
after Mathews nomination, one of the
local stockholders, a strong Republican,
came to Mr.. Startling. of the News, and
directed him to publish favorable edi-
torial notice of Mr. Mathews. This
Mr.. Startling caused to be done, having
had instructions to consult the gentle
man referred to as to any question af-
fectlng the policy or management of the
paper. Mr.. Crosse had no knowledge
of the editorial, and at the time of its
publication was absent upon the editO-
rial excursion. He has in no way ratified
even the qualified Endorsement of
Mathews, and unless his convictions
have undergone marked change, is in
no sense Mathe WIS man. An attempt
was recently made by the Bismarck
correspondent of the Pioneer Press to
show that Mr.. Crosse IS favorable to
Mathews, but those with whom he is

sweep the territory with one of the old
time majOrities-that is from 10000 up

the territorial committee, is credited
with as rOSeate a party view, and the
party organs generally allow their par
tiSan enthusiasm to attain similar al
titude. With such enormous margins
in their favor, it would seem that the
overflow of their magnanimity would

gathered by industrious effort They
would refrain from personal attacks
upon Mr.. HARDEN, and allow his house
hold to enjoy the immunity from rude
Invasion 10 which it is entitled. The
course of most of the party journals in
this respect does not suggest the enthu-
siastic view referred to. The immedi-
ate solicitude with them is the altitude
of the alliance vote. The somewhat
surreptitiOus publication in the alliance
organ in the absence of the editor is
seized with an eagerneSS suggestive of
desperation rather than placid conf
dence. That article has had the good
effect to draw out from President
LoUCKS a strong paper defining the pO-
sition of the alliance relative 10 the pO-
litical parties. This does nOt differ
from the statements heretofore in these
columns. AS an organization, the ALL
ance is strictly non-partiSan, and only
participates in politics so far as to pro-
tect and promote the purposes and inter
eStS for which it was organized. If one
who is a candidate has held office and
used it adversely to the measures and
objects of the alliance, it would be
strangely inconsistent not to recognize
this fact. In the case of Mr.. MATHEWS
and Mr.. HARDEN, the opposing candi-
dates for delegate, any member OF the
alliance is free to vote for either His
standing in the alliance cannot be
affeced by such vote, except perhaps to
impair confidence in his intelligence
and good sense if he fayOrS one who has
proved unfriendly to the objects for
which the alliance is formed. Mr..
LOUCKs shows that MATTHEWS OPP
posed alliance measures in the legisla-
ture, and is committed by his interest to
policies that are Instantaneous to
farmers. On the other hand, Mr.. HAIR
DEN is committed to every plank i'll the
alliance platform, and identified in in
tereSt, as well as views, with their pur
poses. He has been for years an active
and efficient member of the OrganiZa-
ton, and one of its guiding spirits. Mr..
LOUCKs urges that policy and good
sense should prompt alliance men to
give the preference TO HARDEN. 1t is
understood that he consented to become
a candidate with the approval of his CO
workers in the alliance work. While
there is no cOnstraint upon any member
of the organization to vote for him, the
logic of the situation and the spirit of
the association are in that direction.

Who Wanted to Sell the Supplies
and Instruct at Large Figures.
Special to the Globe
MANDAN, Sept. 2S.-I was talking
also with the projectors of the creamery
at Valley City, and that at Bismarck.
The verdict of both is that the parties
are losing money, the reason being
that they have to go so far to
gather their cream. 1t cost no more
to make 500 pounds of butter day than
half that quantity, and if fixed charges
in the shape of 1uel, salaries, ETC., have
to be distributed over the small nulnbe T
of pounds of butter, the manufactured
article costs good deal more when it
gets into the market.
CThe creamery furOre was started here
by travelling men representing a very
active firm of Chicago dealers i'm cream
cry supplies. These travelling men
would swOOp down on meeting of clti-
Zens and explain to them the advantages
to the farmer and the rest of the
community of creamery. Most of
what they said on this score was cor
rect. Then the travelling men would
expatitate on the advantages of the
particular system of creamery that they
represented, and would take the con-
tract of furnishing a building, ma
chinery and all the appliances to make a

behind Bismarck. went into the cream
cry business, but i'm a little diff
ferent way. A company was formed of
local parties, and they put up their own
building, and started up on different
system, though as they think, better
one. They only needed $1,000 to start,
retaining for themselves the profit that
the Chicago firm got in the other cases.
Their running expenses are less, and
they are not only not losing money, but
are beginning to take in little more
each month than they pay out.
The experience of creamery adven-
turers in this territory leads to the con-
cluSiOn that there have been a good
many creameries started which are too
big and run on too expensive basis
They are well adapted for sections of
country in Minnesota and Iowa, and
will do here very well in ten years
time, but at present they can only be
run at loss. These facts can be sub
stantiated by anyone who will make an
examination.
