North DakOta Flour,

NJ. M. Miller, formerly the Washing
ton correspondent for the Minneapolis
Tribune, in a recent interview said:
"Now that the question of North Dakota
-four is brought to the attention of the
public by the donation to starving Rus
STA of 100000 pounds by the North Da-
kota Millers' association at their meet
ing in Fargo last Wednesday, it's a Won
der something is not said about the gov
eminent contracts for flour. There's
Fort Totten supplied by a firm in Kan
sas City, and Fort Pembina, Fort Yates,
Fort Berthold, Fort Stevenson and other
Indian and military posts in North Da-
kota are supplied by a firm in Bozeman,
Mont, and by other mills
outside of our state. That's all wrong.
It is not only wrong from a business
standpoint, but it is contrary to the
letter and spirit of the printed govern
ment contracts, which read that said
posts shall be supplied with flour made
from grain grown on land contiguous
to the post. The Kansas City firm
lodges this express stipulation of the
contract by buying North Dakota flour,
but instead of purchasing "straight
flour" as called for in the contract, the
Kansas City firm buys IS per cent.
Bakers flour, mixes it and gets a
! rake off both in the contract and in the
grades. But why should a North Dako-
ia post be supplied by a firm 1000
miles away from the home of the only
"straight" -four in the world? Why
should Montana people sell flour in
North Dakota when the farmers out
there have to use a shot gun with q
curved barrel to SOW their wheat around
the side of a hill. The North Dakota
Miller's association is making the best
-four on earth and the most of it, and a
little healthy public sentiment on the
question of these government contracts
would materially help our Dakota
delegation at Washington in securing
our geographical rights in this matter

Lands for Public Institutions.

lfrOm lnursday6 Dally.l
At the meeting of the board of uni
versity and school lands, held at the
capitol yesterday, the report Of Mr.. J. B.
Power, the field agent of the board, was
presented and acted upon. The selec-
lions of lands thus far made have been
in the Fargo and Grand Forks districts,
with a small amount in the Devils Lake
district. The lands selected by the field
agent have been graded by him in four
classes, from one to four respectively.
Lands of the first grade are those in a
district which are mostly tillable for
grains and especially wheat. The second
description is land having a less proper
tion Of such area per quarter section;
number three land is pasture of the best
quality and number four is the second

ment of land among the various
institutions of the state en-
titled to receive the same under the
constitution, and which number thir-

These slips were placed in a box, the box

[From THURSDAYS Da;ly.]
The district court met yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
In the Swenson liquor case, the de-
Tense introduced no testimony, and
Messrs. Register and Campbell ad-
dressed the jury. The charge to the
jury WAS then delivered and the jury re-
tired. They we're out till 2:3O p. m.
when they came in with a verdict of
guilty and recommended that the court
deal with him as ~leniently as possible.
Mr.. Campbell addressed the court,
urging clemency. He said that Sven

such men as Mason and Gray-men who
would contaminate and ruin the reputa-
ton Of any man.
Sentence will be passed Saturday at
2 o'clock p. m.
At 3:15 the Healy jury came in. They
had agreed to disagree, and desired to
be discharged. The court asked each
juryman if he believed there was any
chance of agreement-each man replied
in the negative.
Foreman Taylor asked leave to make
a statement. He said: We came, yes.

we ever will again. Those conditions ir

The jury then retired again.
At 4 o'clock they came back and hand
ed in the following verdict: We the jury
find the defendant guilty, and we are
unanimous in earnestly urging and re.
guessing the clemency of the court, ever
to the extent that sentence be suspend

"7Here's something behind t."
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer 2" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

Colonel Accrington before old age makes
me deaf" graciOusly observed her grace
the Duchess of CarisbrOoke to that fair
queen of mode, Mrs. Dellamere, on the
occasion of garden party held at her
villa in Stafford few weeks after the
Crecy Festival "He is such sad dog.
they tell me, a real vaurien," pursued
the dowager; "but what of that? an at
tache must be all things to all men, and
he is born diplomatist can see that
he intends to carry that borough over
young Arden's head-he had better re-
turn from his wanderings If he means
to represent Stafford. That would be a
hard hit against the monastic Inchcape.
for he has set his heart upon Edgar's
election. Well, to the victor belong the
spoils-I care not which wins!"
Mrs. Cellamere, who was supporting
the tottering steps of her hostess
through the bright parterres of autumn
flowers, crowded with brilliant guests,
drank in this eu,ogy of her old time
lover with a proudly swelling heart;
her tread grew statelier, her glance
swept around the gay scene more conf
IDENTIFY. Alas, for woman's too constant
heart!
The Duchess villa was a mere doll
house, as befitted her lone and lorn con-
dition of widowhood. she said: but it
was surrounded by fine old gardens, the
pride of Stafford, and there she was fond
of holding grand reviews of the beauty
and fashion of the neighborhood. To-
day all our friends had assembled-the
Crecys, Deliameres, mother and daugh-
ter-and not until they were some time
there, and no escape possible without a
scene, did Colonel Accrington saunter in
among them on the arm of his uncle and
present host, Rear Admiral Archerfeld,
with his admirer Lucius Leicester in
close attendance.
Mrs. Crecy's pleasure was gone: the
wrath Of wronged Engelonde Inchcape
ever stood between her and Richard
Accrington; but as she only suspected
him, and had no proof against him, she
had not even opened her mind to her
husband, who accordingly ran to greet
their old acquaintance with beaming
cordislity. Auberon Crecy and Love-
day Dellamere, who had been engrossed
with their gay companions in some Of
the amusementS provided, became aware
of his presence by . subtle magnetism
the moment he approached, and fol-
lowed his every movement with reluc-
tant consciousness.
Colonel Accrington affects me singu-
larly," whispered Anberon in Loveday's
dainty sea-sheil ear, "what do you think
of him?s
