A sheep enthusiast was asked to.
day, says the Mandan Pioneer, if he
did not think the men who are going
so largely into sheep would suffer loss
in the course Of time. lie said: sit is
doubtless a fact that there are some
people who will lose money at sheep.
They would lose money at anything.
The man who owns sheep must have
some knowledge us to how to take
care of them if he would get the max.
imum profit. But. in my Judgment,
there is more money in sheep just
now than anything else in this coun-
try. Morton county might have 3OO,-
900 sheep and they would not be over
crowded. If we had that number |
tell you it would make a good deal of
difference to Mandan. There is moth
ing, in proportion to it's value, that
can be shipped so cheaply as wool.
A man who has a flock of sheep be-
gins to make money out of them in
eight months after he has got them.
But the man who puts his money in.
to cattle has to wait three years.
1 don't think there is any danger of
the business being overdone. There
are no signs Of it at present."

R1cHARDroN NOTES.

John W. Harnden, of Antelope, had
a valuable horse killed on the rail.

Miss Annie Knudson returned
home on Saturday from ,Mandan,
where she has been staying during
the winter.
Miss Mary A. Lewis left for Lorain,
Ohio, on Tuesday, to visit her parents
and friends. She will possibly return
next summer.
Several cases of la grippe L re-
ported around the country this week.
There are a few who have not had it

"There is nothing gives a man such
spirits,
AS going at full speed-no matter
where it's direction be,
So tits but in q hurry"
Thus wrote Lord Byron. and it is
what might have been expected of
such a headlong, impetuous spirit,
living too, before the days of rail-
roads. But it is not good counsel;
one should know his destination, and
while lie does not want the journey
to be tedious. he does want speed to
be united with safety. AS Il railroad
that has for points of destination the
chief commercial cities in nine states,
that makes connections i'm centrally
located depots, runs fast yet safe
trains, and has the most elegant and
comfortable accommodations, "The
Burlington" challenges comparison
with any line. For particulars as to
rates of fare, time of trains, and con-
nections at all points, call on agents
of this or connecting roads. or write

Value Of Ignite Fuel.

The comparative value of Ignite
coal with wood. bituminous and
tin acite coal, has been the subject Of
investigation by the railroad commits
sioners. The result is given as fol-
lows; and is accompanied Ivy the ties.
timony of large number of persons,
who have been using the native prod
uct during the past six or eight years:
From IL Investigations of this
subject we submit the following com.
parative value of fuel: b.
l ton of Ignite equal to IL cords
of wood.
~ tons Ignite coal equal to l ton
bituminouS coal.
2tons Ignite coal equal to l ton
anthracite coal.
We have also gathered much infor.
nation, says the report, in regard to
the practical and economical use of
Ignite coal, notably it's preservation
by keeping it under cover, cellars OF
sod houses being the best; for genera
ting steam raise the CRATES nearer the
boiler than for other fuel. This fuel
can be utilized in any kind of stove,
with a moderately fine CRATE and is a
success in base burners, as we'll as
cylinder heaters, and perhaps has it's
greatest utility in hot air furnaces
much of the testimony in this partic.
ular being too late for this report.
AS a fuel for stationary steam power,
we predict it will take the lead of

Things Observed by Our Observer.

EDITOR PREss:-As your observer
one day WAS watching IL small hoy at
that old and delightful pastime,
''blowing soap bubbles" he could not
help but observe what IL beautiful
appearance a little wind make,
provided the covering is thin enough,
and he observed that the more the
wind and the thinner the covering,
the more beautiful the soap bubble.
and he was about to philosophise
about it when he checked himself
with the adage: "Let the shoemaker
stick to his last" You stick to your
observing and let others do the phil
osophising. But we have observed
that the smoothness of the exterior
or its dazzling array does not always
reveal the contents. AS plain "soap
and water" it may do much good. is a
grand success; but when it gets into
the public pipe a little blow makes it
worthless, it assumes the soap bubble
condition. Although the most worth
less, it seems to be the condition
sought after by certain classes of
humanity. They do not see how dam
gerous it is to be thus, how very east
ly their beautiful chunks of nothing
are bursted, and we observe that they
do not see how much grander it is to
try and wash out filth, try and do
some good rather than reflect a few
rays from the sun, and they fly to
pieces In the eyes of the public. We
observe that this applies to towns
and counties and business as well rs
to human nature. AS plain ''soap
and water" North Dakota is q sue
cess. but she will not stand the soap
bubble state, this is also true of her
institutions, even to her Ignite coal.
BE. careful, citizens, of assuming that
shape, which is the tendency. We
want to observe also that if North
Dakota's statesmen will abolish their
soap bubble craftsmanship and in a
plain soap and water manner get
down to business. we will not be as
likely to fly to pieces, or they either.
Soap bubbles, you know, are nice to
"tlsat," but its the cashing of them
that makes trouble. In fact we may
as we'll observe that this tendency
seems to be creeping more and more
into iii social fabric, into business,
into IL pulpits sometimes. We are
inclined to observe that "the boy is
father to the man" in this his child.

plain soap and water. %

A Munincent Gift.

MIR. EDIToR:-The East sometimes
complains that it is too heavily
drawn upon in the interest of the
West. Now and then the course of
benefactions is reversed.
Two years ago l lost a brother in Il
sudden and painful way. There was
no better evidence of his exact and
general scholarship than a visit to his
study and an examination Of its walls
lined with the choicest theological
literature and hung with the pictures
of epoch.making divines. ! fastened
back from Europe, where l was at
the time, to purcha5e from his estate
the larger portion of his library.
Every volume of it has seemed sacred.
Recent changes that have come in-
to my life have made it seem best to
part with this collection of books,
and through the muniticence of a re-
manning brother in Minnesota it is to
be distributed among various colleges
and seminaries, mainly going to Au.
burn Theological Seminary in Cen
trail New York. The library with
which l thus part has about eleven
hundred volumes and as nearly us can
be estimated must have cost between
three and four thousand dollars. The
most valuable single sets of works
arc perhaps Paris and Brunswick edi-
tions of Augustine and Calvin Sc.
cured at an expense Of two hundred
and fifty dollars. The most notable
denominational works are the Prince
ton Review which existed over fifty
years, of which only the first volume
is lacking and a complete set Of the
minutes of the General Assembly
and the P%resbyteries and Synods
which preceded its formation.
Tho city Of Auburn is one Of the
most beautiful in the beautiful coun-
try of central New York, the home
of Seward and the seat of an historic
theological seminary. In grounds
and buildings l know of no other
theological school SO handsomely
equipped. 1t is proposed by the fac
ulty to put in the dormitory building,
where they will be right at hand,
from twelve to fifteen hundred vol.
umes of standard, indispensable thee.
logical literature, to be used for the
purpose of reference and not to be
drawn. The nucleus of this library
is to be formed out of this gift of my
brother, and the bookbinders of the
seminary are to place on tire back of
each volume Clayton Mem. Library"
and within the statement Of the fact
that it is given in memorial of one of
the alumni of the seminary, the Rev.
Benjamin d. Dayton. This express
sion of the seminary's appreciation
of the gift is further followed by the
explicit statement of the secretary Of
the faculty, Prof. Willis j. Beecher,
D. d., from whose letter l quote,
they will be gladly accepted and
will be the most really useful gift of
books, probably, that the seminary
has ever received.
1t is parting with ones self and al
most with ones brother to let these
tokens go, but the sadness is relieved
by the thought of the greater good
that may follow.
Yours Truly,
EDISON G.. DAYTON.

Last week the PRESS, upon what
we believed reliable information, con-
tanned Il local notice rejecting OH the
character of four boys, stating that
they were intoxicated and had acted
in a very boisterous manner and
Frightened little girls. 1t vas claim
ed that this took place near the
school house, during a session of the
night school Which is being con-
Quoted by L. E. Partridge. After
more thorough investigation we find
the report Was exaggerated and that
the boys were not intoxicated, but
had a bottle of Kerosene and thought.
lessly undertook to scare the girls by
pretending to be intoxicated. The
girls were badly frightened and ran
Into the school house for protection
which caused the report to gain cir.
culatioh. We are sorry the Press
wrongly accused the boys and are
pleased to make the correction. How
ever, they did wrong, probably
thoughtlessly, in attempting to
brighten the girls. MI. Partridge
says the boys are not members of his
class, hut one or two of them had
been there during the evening and
that lie noticed nothing wrong. In
this connection we wish to state that
a newspaper depends to II large ex'
tent on the public for information
and if matters are wrongly reported
it is not wholly to blame.
