OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Over and over again,
No matter which way 1 turn,
1 always find In the book of life
Some lesson 1 nave to learn
must take my turn at the mill,
Unjust grind out the golden grain,
must work at my task with a ~resolute win,
Over and over again
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the how of the golden sands
That run through a single hour;
But the morning dews must fau,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, aud perform 1t all
Over and over again
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows
And over and over again
The pOnderous mill wheel goes;
Once doing Will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain,
And a blessing failing us once or twice
May como il we try again
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet,
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears must fall,
And the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

HIS HONOR AND A LAWYER.

There Is a new lawyer in town. He's

Judge CAROLS court the other day.
Some little pickaunish petty larceny case
was ur. The stranger was anxious to Sc
cure the defendant for a client, but at the
prospect OF figuring 10 a suit became rat
tied and mistook Constable Douglass for
the prisoner. He finally found the right
party and was given the job he sought.
His first break was to pompously
demand a jury. The trisl was
then for some reason postponed. During
the preliminary sparring Prosecutor Stoll
made mild objection to the new limb of
the law because he had no license to work
in this district. why" said he to the
court, thus man struck me for u quarter
the other day." That's nothing, Wal

struck me for a half the same day" Dis

Stay by a Sure Thing.

Farmers are feeling pretty we'll over
the prospect. There is gong to be more
cash distributed in the courty this year
than any season since 1882. The price of
wheat will be good enough to counter
balance the loss by hot winds. The pre-
vailing opinion is that we are in for a sea-
son ofgood crop years, sand that now is the
time to get ready for the turn. Several
farmers quit this spring, just in the
wrong time. One instance is noted of a
farmer who had lost three successive
crops, abandoning the farm and going to
backsInithing. The party who puG in
the crop will clear this fall over $4,000
more than biacksmithlng Will DO for the
the man in five years. Another case of
big profits is that Of d neighboring
farmer who leased a quarter section for
5l.0O an acre, put it IN crop and will
clear up some 1900 for the investment.
Another hard working hustler cleared
$500 last year on wheat-growing and
will Go even better this year; and there
are dozens Of other cases OF the same
kind Now is the time to stay in North
Dakota. Any man who will live ten or
fifteen miles from jamestown and but a
few miles from the railroad can get all
the range he wants for stock. free, and by
economy and hard work in ten years can
be well off. II man is unable to make
money by other than manual labor there
is no occupation in the country that will
pay him as well as careful farming and
stock raising on the prairies of this state.
Those farmers who are thinking OF sell
ing off their machinery, stock, etc, and
letting the loan agents take their farms
and buildings for the mortgage, will
make the biggest mistake OF their lives

"The Sage OfPembina."

Few outside of his personal ac,
quaintances know what hustler fol
business Hon. Jud LaAIoure OF Pembina,
is. His political and business opera
tlons are by no means confined to North
Dakota. His county IS nearly always
solid for him. He maintains supremacy
there by the directest road to the hearts
of the poorer classes-generosity and as
sistance III time of trouble. 1t is related
that he lately lost night and two days
valuable time in going to Walsh county
to go on the bond of a poor settler of
Pembina, who had been arrested for cut
ting timber on school section. In ad-
dition to himself, who is host in him
self, Jud is ably assisted in both bust
ness and politics by Mr.. Nelson, his
father-in.law who is man of ability and
shrewdness scarcely equalled by the bet
ter known Jud. State Treasurer Booker
is also partner in the firm and is sway

most lnvincible. They are the company
in large retail establishment occupy
ing two of the largest stores on Seventh
street, st. Paul. The business transact
ed is that of buying out bankrupt stocks
of any kind of goods and retailing them
to the poorer classes at margins varying
in profit. This requires large capital
and incurs risk, but the profits are
equally large. The sales will run four or
five hundred dollars day. A firm of
Pembina merchants..young men-have
been put in charge Of the St. Paul house

Railroad RunOrs.

EDITOR ALERT:-The writer has just
made a flying trip to Sargent county and
in conversation with railroad employee
be- gathered few facts of interest to the
citizens of jamestown, some OF which al e
given below.
The air for some time has been full of
rumors that one Of the leading railroad
companies south of us was contemplate
ing building to Jamestown at an early
date. This rumor is certainly we'll
founded. It is said that the $500 line
from HanlzjusOn, Richland county, to its
western terminus is very improbable
part of tho line. The extension Of the
road to Bismarck via Aberdeen is be
lieved to have been permanently
abandoned. Aberdeen is said now to
have more railroads than business, and
at Bismarck there ls nothing to go for.
The 500" railroad company have full
ly determined to have an outlet at the
very Earliest moment, and to that end sur
veyors have been put in the field to sur
vey a line from HanklnsOn, Richland
county, in a northwesterly direction,
supposed to strike Lisbon and James
town, thence to the coal fields of Tu~t'e
Mountains and finally to intersect the
Canadian Pacific. The question of grad
ing this now proposed line this fall will
be determined within ten days.
OF all the towns on this proposed line
Jamestown is by far the most interested.
1t may be the best thing under the
circumstances for President ". Z.
Greene Of the Taxpayers union, to call a
meeting, have committee appointed to
keep an eye on this enterprise and not
let the opportunity slip. S.

companies Of the Northwest will be

oughly interested in the matter that
they will not only aid farmers in OBJ
tanning the money to put down the
wells for irrigating, but will themselves
sink a large number in various counties
for the purpose Of further demonstrating
the entire feasibility Of the artesian irri-
cation scheme.

Glandered Horses Slaughtered.

Fargo Republican,: Veterinary Sur
geon Langdon returned yesterday from
Pembina, where he has been looking
after glandered horses. lie reports that
on Monday he killed and buried in one
grave, at that place, no less than twenty
seven rses--tventy.four OF which be-
longed to State Treasurer Booker, two to
w J. S. Trail, and one to Chas. Atkin-
son. Some Of Mr.. Bookers were valu-
able farm horses; none Of them were less
than year old; and DR.. Langdon esti-
mates the average value of the twenty
four at S10O, He states that al Of Mr..
Booker's-12l il number-are quaran-
tined; that three have been isolated, and
that there is no telling how u.any more
may take the disease.
A number OF these horses that we're
killed Mr.. Booker had sold to neighbor-
ing farmers, but lie promptly replaced
them with sound animals.
DR.. Langdon says that this is the most
extensive and fatal outbreak of the dis
ease that has ever occurred in the state.

Tuesday night from a trip to the Pacific
slope. He has been gone about a
month and has been pretty nearly all
over the northern slope. He thinks
Washington is a good state, but says it
has its drawbacks the same as Dakota
has. The fruit out there seemed to be
the only feature that has any special at
traction for him. He says there is going
to be a crash all along the Sound sooner
or later; everybody admits that, but there
is diversity Of opinion as to whether
the crash will come 'sooner' or ''later."
Mr.. Frye's trip was merely little vaca-
ton; he does not intend removing ana
was not looking for new location, as
has been reported. He met former
Jamestownites in nearly every town on
the slope. w. V. Wells, who read law in
his Office, is now at Anacortez, has a fine
law practice, does big business and is

LOOKED LIKE A PANTHER,
An Iowa Man Has a Desperate Encounter
With a Wild Beast.

Al IOWA MAN Has u desperate Encounter
With Wild Beast.
Fort DODGE, Iowa, Aug. 26.-Frank
Roberts, of Bancroft, a small town north
OF here, tells a strange, strongly sub
stantiated story Of a desperate encounter
with a mysterious wild animal on the
banks of the Des Moines river Saturday.
According to his account the animal
bore a resemblance to panther. The
animal sprang upon him from bunch
OF weeds on the edge Of all adjoining
slough, clearing ten feet at the first
bound, knocking him down and cover
ing his whole face with it's enormous
mouth, displaying at the same time q
huge set or blunt, yellow teeth.
How 1t Looked to fIirs.
He says the animal was about six feet
long, having short legs. built heavy in
front but slim through the flank. 1t
was Of u yellow gray color with black
streahs over the eyes, having thick,
heavy neck and a head nearly as large
as q common water pail. He says the
combat lasted nearly an hour, during
which time he walked backwards in
front Of the ferocious beast nearly eighty
rods, the length Of the field He was
Knocked Down Several Times
by the beast, but succeeded in extricat-
ing himself from it's grasp every time.
Help came none too soon, for he was
nearly exhausted. The animal, seeing
the arrival Of achievements, gave up
the combat and left in double-quick
time. At each retreating bound it left
three large tracks each six inches in
breadth. Mr.. Roberts escaped without
any serious injuries. Next day party
OF eleven men examined the battlefield,
and found every evidence to corroborate
Roberts story.
Has Been There Seven Years.
AS nearly as can be learned the beast
has infested the neighborhood the past
seven years. but was never before seen.
What it IS can only be conjectured, but
from the fact thaJ Mr.. Roberts escaped
with SO slight injury it must be a very
aged and feeble animal, otherwise it
would have quickly torn man to pieces.
