Slaughter Items.

SLAUGHTER, N. D.: Sept. 20.
Mr.. Peter johnson from Frankfort, Pc
KIN county, Wis, is residing at Slaughter.
He like the country first rate. He says if
he could sell his farm in Wisconsin he
would be here with his family and property
within a month and settle down on acclaim
some where near Slaughter.
Dr.. and Mrs. Slaughter were at Slaugh-
ter Saturday and planted some fine trees
around their summer villa.
Threshing is going on now at full speed.
The grain is turning out pretty fair-from
fifteen to twenty bushels to the acre and a
few still more.
Wing and Peterson from Mclean moved
to Erick Ghylin's with their threshing
machine yesterday, and will thresh a few
fore they return to Mclean county.
Rev. NJ. Spangberg went to Emmons
county Friday last.
Mr.. Fred Erickson and family vent to
Grass Lake yesterday. -.
Mr.. and Mrs Holm Of Painted Woods
We're visitors at Slaughter yesterday.
Miss Bamrick is staying with her broth
er. She will probably stay a few weeks
before returning to her home in Iowa.
Mr.. John Noon too a flying trip to the
capital Wednesday last.
Steam threshers are dangerous to have
around. At Gust Askluud's the other day,
after the machine was moved from the
place, the prairie caught fire from the
ashes that were left where the engine had
stood and had it not been for his son
Enoch, who happened to be around, it
would have DESTROYED everything he had.
The fire was within a few feet Of the hay
stacks and the barn when the last spark Of
the fire was put out. x. Y. q.

A Terrible Fire at Slaughter.

SLAUGHTER, Sept, @.-[Special. IA ter
Tible fire swept over the country;yesterday,
destroying everything in it's way. Four
settings of grain were burned for John C.
johnson and one setting OF wheat for the
Larson Bros. In Grass Lake the barn,
hay, granary and all the grain in stacks
was burned to the ground for Peter John
son.
One setting Of wheat, barn and hay was
burned for John Peterson. He was not at
home at the time. His wife tried to stop
the fire at the fire break, but it came with
such force that it was impossible. She
was badly burned and frightened by the
fire.
Backman, Engstrom and Thor also had
a narrow escape. The fire was close up
to their houses. Every farmer had good
fire breaks, but it jumped over in spite of
them, and for a few moments the quiet
valley of Slaughter looked like a burning
ocean. Such a fire has never before been
seen in this community. Oscar Ecklund's
house was also burned down to the foun-
dation. Y, w.

A Hard Corner.

The age of 30 is a hard corner for a
woman to turn, and IS is still harder. She
feels that she is fast leaving her youth be-
hind her. But there is no reason why a
woman should be faded and passe at IS, or
even at As. The chief cause of the early
fading of American women is found in the
fact that mahy of them suffer from some
form Of weakness or disease which robs
the face of its bloom, draws dark circles
about the eyes, brings early wrinkles and
s%allowness, and stamps the face and figure
with signs of ill-health. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription will cure all these
troubles, will bring back the lost bloom,
and remove the pains and ailments which
make women grow old before their time.

The Harvey boys have been going the
rounds Of the neighborhood with their
threshing machine. They have threshed
for Messrs. O'Brien, Ames, Baumgaarten
and Hilken, and are now at William
Breen'S.
Wheat averages from IA to Is bushels

Slaughter Siftings.

SLAUGHTER, N. d., Sept. 80.
Threshing is now under full Roadway.
There are few farms in the vicinity of
Slaughter that will not average over 1000
bushels of wheat. The greater part Of
this grain. which is No. 1 hard, will be
stored in the capacious granaries built here
last sumner.
Rev. NJ. Spangberg, the resident pastor
at Slaughter, walked to Bismarck OF Sat
urday in order to fill an engagement to
preach in Emmons county on the Sab
bath. All the teams being engaged in
threshing, no conveyance could be had
and this worthy pioneer of the church
bravely footed it down to Bismarck, where
friends from EmmonS county were await
ing him.
Our people will all take advantage of the
forestry law, and many trees will be's set
out on the hOmesteadS this fall.
Our farmers find it to their advantage to
order their winter supplies by the car load
from st. Paul. Next spring we will have
a general store at Slaughter.
1t is probable the farmers will not put a
separate neutrality-suspicious. county
ticket in the field tli, fall. They will
wait until after the county conven-
ions, ana II enough gOOd men can De
found, will in all likelihood make up their
ticket from the best men on both tickets.
This is the farmers year and the interests
of the laboring man will not be over
looked.
Slaughter is in some respects an ideal
community. No liquor has ever been sold
here; the public sentiment is strong against
that the coming campaign shall be con-
Quoted in this part OF the county N total
abstinence principles.
Game is abundant. The prairie chick
ems that have fattened on the grain fields
are in fine order for the table.

The Season for Prairie Fires Has
Arrived, and So Also Has
the Fires.
The Country Around Slaughter Swept
Over Last Monday-Much
Damage Done.
The Mclean County Republican Con-
ventiOn Endorses John Satter-
lund for the Legislature.
Farmers, Look to Your Fra Breaks.

The growth of grass in North Dakota,
and especially on the slope, this season, has
been the heaviest and rankest in years,
and the necessity of extraordinary precau-
tion against prairie fires is apparent. 1t is
the imperative duty of every farmer to see
that his buildings are surrounded by a
plOwed fire break and also a burned circle,
compel his negligent neighbor or land
owner to take the same precautions. The
settler who sees the result of a years toll
go up in smoke in a single hour, usually
has no one to blame but himself. His ex-
cuse is. generally, that he had "intended to
make himself safe" Then again, there is
another class who get up on their hind
legs and howl at the railroad companies
because they do not burn the grass from
their right of way. Now, the railroad
companies are just as much interested in
taking precautions against fire as is the
kicking granger, and that the companies
do employ every means within their power
to guard against fire is evidenced by the
fact that the losses they incur are small.
1t is a fact that nine out of ten of the prai-
RE fires are started by a careless farmer or,
perhaps, the less needless sportsman. 1t
does not require a barrel of oil and a guam
tity of kindling wood to start a prairie fire.
A ~half.cOnSumed match or a spark from a
Missouri cob is sufficient to ignite the tin
der-like grass. On the bottoms south of
Bismarck are more than a hundred hay
stacks, and it is safe to say that not half a
dozen have fire breaks around them. Such
negligence is almost criminal. East and
north Of the city are a number of claim
Shacks and out buildings in the same I'M
protected condition. What is needed is
not a law enforcing railroad companies to
burn all the dead grass in the country, but
a statute that will compel some Of our set
tiers to use a little "hOrSe SenSe' and fore
sight. Be sure your fire breaks are secure.
Never say to yourself, after completing
one, IL guess thatll do" The TRIBUNE is
informed that a prairie fire was started last
Sunday morning by some careless person
near John Anderson's in township 14O,
range IS, and since That time farmers in
that section have been persistently fighting
the flames, and the people in Frances
are out Ell masSe in an endeavOr to prevent
loss to themselves and their %neighbors.
From the Mandan Pioneer it is learned
that prairie fires were burning in Oliver
county last Sunday, which have since been
put out by the farmers, the only loss being
the uncut grass and a stable on a vacant
Claim. Fires are also reported from En-
mons county, but what loss, if any, has
been incurred is not known. Farmers,
look to your fire breaks. Look before you
go to sleep.

No Kick Coming.

Jacob Kilion, one of the Kilion BROTH
ers of Ecklund township, is one of Bur-
leigh county's farmers who has no kick to
register. On the contrary he is most en-
thusiastic over the returns of his summers
work, having just threshed 1000 bushels of
wheat from the crop of ninety-tive acres of
slope soil, and $50 bushels of oats from
fourteen acres, a wheat yield Of nearly
seventeen bushels to the acre and twenty
five of oats, He says that this country is
"all recht" and that Ecklund is the banner
township of the slope. His crop and the
the stock he will be able to convert into
cash will put him away ahead of the Da-
kota lottery. Wilhelm Schlepper, a neigh
Dor, has even made a better showing.
From eighty acres in wheat he threshed
1,4O0 bushels, and the product of twenty
acres in oats was 700 bushels, an average
Of In and IS bushels to the acre. Kilion
has no kick coming.
