Some time last year, Mr.. G. ~. Martin,
Of EaSlcy, bought little place near Pick
cnsvilc from Mr. w. A. Hendricks at a
fair price. a few days ago he sold it to
Mr.. a. G.. Wyatt AT a considerable advance
and MIR. Wyatt is now off. red good profit
on his bargain. The lands arou d old
PicNrnsville have steadily advanced in
price, since the late Mr.. A. Nj. Neal, of
Anderson county, settled there, tore up the
Tom Bell Grass that he did not need for
pasture, and produced abUnt a bale OF cot
ton to the acre. Nearly all the lands in the
vicinity Of Easey lie well AMI produce
abnndanlly. This is one secret of the inn
mcnSc trade done at that point every year.
The prosperity of that whole country has
increased with the price of the lands.
Nothing has had more to do with the in
crn*rh activity of her commence than the
Oil Mill, and now tic citizens Of the town
have capped the climax by voting a sub
Scrlption of $4,000 to the Picicns Railroad
Company. This county is bouud to rise in
spite of the downward tendency of the
price Of cotton.

more good than any other remedy.
II have been troubled with what I

until I become sick and vomit.
AT times, too, I have a fullness
after eating, a pressure after eating
at the pit of the stomach, and
'sourness, when food seemed to rise
up in my throat and mouth. When

Courageous Railroad Bows.

Fargo Argus: People travelling by
railroad seldom give much thought to
the fact of how largely their safety may
depend upon the courage and fidelity of
the men who run the trains. And vet
many a railroad man, though clad only
IN greasy jeans or rusty cloth, only re.
quires the opportunity to show that un-
derneath the soiled clothes there beats a
heart as brave and true as that of any
hero famous in song or history. The
courage and fidelity of the "six hundred"
in the famous "Charge of the Light
Brigade" at Balaclava has passed into a
proverb, and yet it required equal grit in
John j. Gallagher, the "brakey," to
stick to his post on the runaway oil car
as 1t rushed through the night down the
Buffalo grade on Sunday morning. It
was his first trip over this part of the
road; he did not know what he would
meet, and probably did not even stop to
think-but he did know that somewhere
then, away in the dark night to the west
ward, there was a heavy passenger train
coming towards him with it's human
freight at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, and Brakeman Gallagher was equal
to the occasion. His duty was to do all
he could to stop that car, or, if that was
beyond his power, to stay with it in Or
der to wave his warning light and stop
the coming train-and Brakeman Gala
CHER did his duty. The Argus is glad to
take this opportunity of paying a merit
ed tribute to the clear grit--not only of
Brakeman Gallagher, but Of the whole
body of railroad men, who on numerous
occasions have hazarded life and limb
for the safety of the passengers in their
care.
Geo. Jennings wants all the butter and
eggs he can get and pays the full market
price.

Alexander Capehart, private secretary
to Governor Burke, of North Dakota, is
in Minneapolis, and confirms the report
of the great need of men to thresh the
crop. He says that about three-fourths
of it is still in the field in shock, and that
it is greatly exposed to danger from fire
and to damage by rain. While the rain
and exposure to the wind will bleach the
grain and reduce the grade, much that is
bleached is just as good for milling pur-
poses as it ever was. 1t will not grade
80 high in the market, however, and the
loss is to- the farmers disadvantage.
Thousands of men and more machines
are urgently needed to save the crop be-
fore the snow falls.

The Parker Divorce Cass.

Minneapolis Journal, Monday: The
sensational Parker divorce case has fz-
zled into a plain, every day case of adult
cry and failure to support. Saturday,
after a heated argument by Attorneys
Frank Hubachek and Gilman, for Jessie
Parker and James Parker respectively,
against and for a jury trial and the adj
mission of the latter's salacious answer
duplicating prominent citizens. Judge
Hooker ordered the answer stricken out
and the case tried on Mrs. Parker's tes-
timony only next Friday. The court so
ordered, because Parker was guilty of
contempt of court in refusing to pay the
alimony and attorneys fees he owed his
wife. Further, Judge Hooker said he
had seen a profane letter which he sur
missed came from Parker, in which the
statement was made that the courts
orders never would be obeyed regarding
the alimony. Parker was given a week
to straighten his accounts, but as he and
his attorney protested vigorously this
morning on the ground of poverty, the
order stood. Hubachek made a good
many serious charges against the defense,
which he said he was willing to prove,
but Judge Hooker said no more evidence
was necessary and Parker left the room
in high dudgeon.

Missouri, and it is without question the
finest in North Dakota. The illumina-

Success of the Efforts to Scotch Had Bak.
ing Powders. ~
The aggressive war wageo by the Roy
al Baking Powder company upon the,
hosts of adulterated and impure baking
powders sold throughout the country is
having a desirable effect. The scandal
GUS attacks upon the Royal company by
the manufacturers of the impure goods
(Which are made doubtless both from a
spirit Of revenge and in the hope of
breaking the effect of the damaging ex-
posures) show that they are hit, while
the official reports which have come from
various public authorities fully corrobo-
rating the statements made by the Roy
al company, have awakened a wholesome
public sentiment in favor of repressive
laws, which means mischief to the ille-
Ultimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder company
set out some time ago to expose the
character and to break up the sale of
adulterated baking powders. Having
found from ar examination Of many
specimens that there was a large num-
Der of actually injurious powders IN the
market, they brought the matter before
the public and denounced the makers by
name in the press and to the health
authorities. The affair was taken up by
physicians, boards of health, aad legisla-
lures throughout the country, chemists
were employed to test the various DOW
ders in the market, and the government
itself directed analyses to be made before
it would purchase the supplies needed
for army, navy, and Indian use.
The result justified the charges made
by the Royal company. Not only we're
the majority of baking powders in the
market found to be largely adulterated,
but many Of them were ascertained to
contain alum and other poisonous in
gradients to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe for use in human
food.
In making the charges the Royal
Baking Powder company did not hest
tate to enter into competition with every
other baking powder in the country, and
1t is a public satisfaction that in the
official tests by the government and
state chemists and by boards of health,
the Royal Baking Powder has been de-
clared to be the superior of all others in
strength, purity and wholesomeness, and
absolutely free from all inferior or det-
rimental substances.
From recent official reports it is evil
dent that the alum and otherwise impure
goods have again come upon the market
IN dangerous quantities, and their old
enemy, the Royal, is again upon the
warpath. In continuing its warpath
against these goods the Royal is meeting
with the old-time opposition and abuse.
The public, however, will appreciate, as
heretofore, both the object of the abuse
and the action of the Royal company,
and award full justice to the company
that SO fearlessly stands up for it's pro-
lection from such adventures.

the break as far as it would go. It took
no effect. I jumped down and tried to
get blocks to put under the wheels, but
could find zone. The car ran out onto
the main line through the split switch,
which was locked. l tried to stop the
car by standing on the brake beam and
showing it against the wheels. I then
climbed up and tried to set the brake
again, but it had no effect. The entire
length of the chain wound around the
brake staff, but the brake beam hung
away from the wheels. I do not think
the train moved more than four or five
feet after it struck the oil car and if the
brake had been properly set or had re-
manned set the oil car would not have
moved more than five feet. I stayed on
the oil car until it was within a car
length of the engine, when I jumped. I
repeatedly signaled the stop signal, but
they did not see it. The car ran about
three miles and was going I should judge
about twenty miles an hour when it
struck. I think the engine was making
steam when the car struck it and that
the air breaks on the stock train were set
by the breaking of the pipe on the
front Of the engine.
At this point the inquest was ad-
journed till 1:3O O'Clock.
Mr.. Gallagher was questioned when
going away from the inquest and said
that when the car was struck the oil ex-
ploded and made a noise easily heard at
Buffalo, three miles away. The burning
oil shot 50 or rs feet into the air and by
the time it came down the stock train
had shot forward SO that the oil fell up
on the cars, Immediately setting fire to
them. The three victims jumped from
the engine and ran, their clothing all
afire. He ran to the assistance Of Curtis,
who was about 200 feet from the track.
His clothing was almost burned off of
him when he saw him. He was attracted
to Curtis by groans. Dodge was found
dead about 500 feet from the track. Bea-
ton succeeded in putting out the fire on
his clothing and walked to the caboose.
The believing of the cattle, he said, was
something fearful.
C~RIM1NALLY INDIFFERENT.
It is said that the men on the stock
train made no effort to assist the unior-
tunate human beings, but confined their
attention solely to the cattle.
BRAKEMAN BEAToN BETTER
There was a m on the streets this
noon that Brakeman Beaton was dead,
but a telegram received by some of the
railroad men from Beaton's sister, this
forenoon, saying that she rested very
nicely last night" and that she is very
much improved today" disproves the
truth of that rumor.
Engineers say that the grade down
which the oil car ran has an incline of
twenty-five to thirty feet to the mile.
