Died of Glanders.

Veterinary Surgeon Langdon in Fargo
Republican,; Last Saturday I went thir-
teen miles south of Bismarck to examine
some horses, and, finding two of them had
CHAMBERS, I killed them. A Mr.. GARNER
had charge of the horses, and I learned
that a short time before, his son-in-law,
who owned them, had died of the same dis
ease, which he evidently caught from the
horses. He had been attended by DR..
Kendrick of Bismarck, and it was On IN
mistakeable case of CHAMBERS. People can
not be too cautious about exposing them
selves to dangerous contagion when their
horses are disoharging at the nostrils.. I
have also recently inspected 1900 head of
sheep belonging to Glendenning Bros, at
Baisy. These gentlemen have been very
careful in selecting their sheep in Montana
and. ! found them free from scab and in
good condition. Other buyers would do
well to follow their example. Certain par
ties in Stutsman county have been break
ing the law.-amestown Alert Nov. "a.

ianship of this bright but doomed little
city, md if necessary will turn the hotel de
Leland into a fort for tho protection of his
children. The c u e of the mayors fright
is said to arise from the fact that several
greasy old squaws have been in the city in
the past few days, and they have camped
so close on his trail that he is satisfied that
mischief is meant. He believes there is a
pl n on the part of the squaws to kidnap
him so the warriors, who are only a few
miles out of the city, can march into the
town, and in the absence of its chief pro-
tector, slay its inhabitants and get away
with the spoils. The mayor will distribute
the deadly rifles to every responsible man
over the age of eighteen with strict instruc-
tions to kill-none of his pigs.-Minot

Charity.

The best charity is o that which gives
aims, whether secretly Or with ostentation.
The best charity is that which worketh no
evil, that prompts US to speak well of our
neighbors.
We are ashamed to confess that our
quickest instincts are to think i'll of others,
or to magnify the i'll of which we hear.
There is a universal struggling of shout
ders, as much as to say: swell I expected
as much; it is just like him; I had my sus-
picions; I could a tale unfold" and thus
on through an endless chapter, with which
every reader will be somewhat familiar
from his or her own experience.
Now, n who says, II could a tale I'M
fold" yet holds it back, leaving the hearer
to infer any and every evil, stabs character
with the meanest, deadliest blow. But
who is there who carries not this ever-ready
weapon-this poisoned dagger. :
The charity that gives to help and not
to humiliate, is good; but the charity that
makes us think no evil is better.

New Form of Marriage Ceremony.

"Wilt thou take her for thy pard, for
better or worse; to love, to hold, to fondly
guard, till hauled off in a hearse; wilt thou
let her have her way and consult her many
wishes, make a fire every morning, and
help her wash the dishes; wilt thou give
her all the ''slag" her little purse will hold,
buy her a monkey, a poodle, or a sealskin
sarque, wilt thou comfort and support her
father and mother, aunt Jemima, thirteen
sisters and %brothers?" And his face grew
pale and bland, it was tco late to git, as
through the chapel floor he sank and sadly
said: II wilt."-Ward County Reporter.

This PAPER Is entered as secOnd-class matter
at the Postofice ut Washburn. North Dakota.
Bound to be Prosperous.

Eli Perkins has been making a trip in
Minnesota, North Dakota and Manitoba.
He gives the following common sense and
reasonable "talk" in a recent interview.
Every statement is built upon facts that
are now recognized to exist, and the farm
ers will have an early opportunity to veri-
fly the predictions. Mr.. Perkins said in
nsw to the question when the north
western farmer would be prosperous:
HE will be prosperous" said Mr.. Per-
kins, "when he Gun get a dollar a bushel
for wheat"
sand when will that Gomez"
ut will never come from Europe. Eng
land will never take dollar wheat from this
country, because she can always buy wheat
for 70 cents in Sweden and Norway and
fifty cent wheat in India. When wheat is
worth a dollar a bushel in Minnesota it can
not go to England. But dollar wheat will
very soon come in this country, through
home consumption md a decrease in it's
production. The surplus wheat which now
goes out and which drags down the farm
or is about 60,0OO,OO 0 bushels.
"But how can this be stopped or lessen
eds"
"Four things will accomplish this de-
crease of wheat in less than two years, and
the farmer will be on top again and the
consuming manufacturer will be under"
''What are they?"
swell, first, the cheap Canadian wheat
and barley, made on three dollar land in
Manitoba, is being kept back by the TWEEN
ty-cent penalty. They can no longer buck
their two-dollar land against your fifteen
dollar land in Minnesota and Dakota"
This penalty against Canada will keep out
100000 of the 6%O,0OO,OO0, surplus.
"And what next"
Why Minnesota and Dakota farmers are
going into sheep. AL around Bismarck
and westward to Montana sheep are taking
the place of wheat. I saw car loads of
horses on the Great Northern train yester-
day-horses that had been used in the
wheat ti~elds-coming south and east to be
traded for sheep. This will take out more
wheat land"
"And then," continued Mr.. Perkins, "tho
future of fax is growing in Minnesota. A
fax factory is going up in Minneapolis;
the fiber is to be wov into fine linen.
Other linen factories are being talked a.
bout. Iowa has two linen factories already
In operation, and using fax grown on old
wheat fields"
$50 to sum up" said Eli, "the culture ef
fax, wool, sugar and the stopping on the
border of the cheap wheat from millions
of acres of cheap land in Manitoba say
all these will do away with the surplus of
6O,O00,O0O bushels of wheat has dragged
down the price of wheat from $1.25, where
1t belongs, and a price that it is worth as
human food, to 20 cents. In two years,
ae our tariff is now, this will all be accom-
plished and the northwestern farmers will
be on top. Their lands will 60 up and
prosperity will come again.

A ROMANTIC young woman named
Barbara, who gets her mail at Oketo,
Kan, wrote her address on an egg, and
in due course OF time postal card ar
rived at the Oketo Office from James
Miller, of 521 Flushing avenue, Brook
lyn, N. Y, saying that in o lot of eggs
received at his store this one was found.
and if the young lady was so inclined
he would be pleased to hear further
from her; also that he was single and
alone, but that it was by no means cer-
tain that he would always remain so.
Further developments are awaited.
