Nothing is 80 uncertain a. the minds Of

1t is a great mistake to imagine that
success without effort viii ever make a
man or woman happy. What we cease
10 strive for ceases 10 be success. and
gradually becomes more and more worth
less.
Pride Is at the bottom Of all mistakes
All the other passions do occasional good,
but whenever pride puts in is word
everything goes wrong, and what il
might really be desirable to do quietly
and innocently, it is mortalIy dangerous

The heart viii commonly govern the
head, and il is certain that any strong
passion, set the wrong way, will always
infatuate the wisest Of men; therefore
the first part Of wisdom is to watch the
affections.
1t is a pleasant fallacy to suppose that
the sentiment Of friendliness and the
emotion Of love are of themselves neces-
sarily noble and magnanimous. They
are happily often united with these quail
tiles, and sometimes call forth the most
lofty heroism and sublime self sacrifice
OF which human nature is capable. But
they are not always thus happily mated
to a generous spirit There are some who
would be ashamed to be gra5ping and
ayaricious in money matters, or even
miserly and selfish as regards their time,
who yet introduce these qualities freely
into the sphere of their affections, and
thus bring much misery TO those they
love. OF course this is not intentional.
No one deliberately plans to afflict his
dear friends; but il is one of those sad
consequences which must always in some
form follow a course of conduct at once
thoughtless and selfish.

It's a Good Theory.

A recent drop in the temperature at
Grand Forks causes Capt. Griggs to ad-
vance the following idea to the readers
OF the Herald of that city: the press of
the state ought to urge farmers to build
fires these cold nights, which will Ger.
tainly neutralize the effect of possible
frosts. I am afraid OF early frosts this
year, and as I have observed that the
burning of straw, brush, manure. or any
combustible material has tendency to
raise the temperature for many miles
around, it appears to me that farmers
ought to be prepared to make fires when
ever the temperature falls dangerously
low. The burning of Walkers saw mill
q few years ago was great loss to Mr..
Walker and to the city, but it was God
send to farmers for many miles around
IN the direction the wind blew, for it
certainly saved their crops from partial,
il not total destruction. It was cold that
night, if you remember, and wheat was
frosted in many places in the Red river
valley. but all in the path of the wind for
distance OF 25 miles from Grand Forks
escaped the heavy hand OF Jack Frost.
The mill fire was the cause Of our escape.
l have no doubt OF it whatever"

OF State Interest.

Grand Forks Plaine!ealer: Jos. Hol-
berger and family Of Mcpherson county,
South Dakota, was in the city yesterday
the guest Of Herman Wolfe and family.
Mr.. Holberger is one of the farmers who
were deluded by the glowing statements
of the Canadian Pacific agents to 60 to the
Northwest Territory to make new homes
for themselves. Each Of the farmers
were to have farm for nothing and S4OO
in money or it's tsequivalent IN farming i'm
plements advanced, beside free fare from
Winnipeg. Arriving at Winnipeg they
had to pay their own fare out, but were
to have rebate after arriving at their
destination. The rebate was never
received, nor the $40O in money
either, and as to the land MI.
Holberger says it ls absolutely good for
nothing; is covered with scrubby brush
and sloughs. He concluded that the best
thing he could do would be to 90 back
where he came from. The trip has cost
him about thousand dollars'besides the
loss Of his time. None Of the party who
went out will remain. Some have already
gone and others are making preparations
to 60. Unfortunately some have not the
money to get away with.

Crops Looking Well.

The Alert is in receipt Of daily letter.
from parties in other states inquirlng
about progress Of crops here and the
prospective outcome. A great many
persons are apxiously looking for
North Dakota to give good account Of
herself this year, and from every indica-
ton no one will be disappointed. The
crops never looked more promising.
Wheat is rapidly heading out, and stands
very high and thick on the ground. The
early sowed fields are now magnificent
sights to behold. The heads are full and
the berry promises to be plump. The
great abundance uf RAIN has brought to
its present condition not only the grain,
but the grass on the prairle has grown
into solid thick mat furnishing such an
immense amount of pasturage that stock
of all kinds is fat and thriving. There
will be any amount OF hay this year, the
only fears being bad weather in which
to secure it. Everything points to
grand year for the state There are no
drawbacks OF any kind as yet to be
chronicled, and it tie ordinary growing
season lasts as long as customary with
out exceptional disasters in the way of
rust or frost or insects, the year 1891 will
be put down as great friend OF the
farmers of this state.

How We Get the Worst of it.

Jerome Sabin relates an incident which
illustrates the methods of some commits.
sion men. A farmer named Wilkinson,
living near Edgeley, cut a fleece in two
and sent one half to a Chicago commits
sion house, asking what they would give
for his clip. The reply came back 13
cents. Mr.. Wilkinson thought this too
little and acting on a happy thought sent
the other half of the fleece to his brother
in Wisconsin and requested him to for
ward it as a sample to the same Chicago
commission house and ask what the wool
was worth. The reply came just as
promptly as in the former case, but this
time the price was fixed at 20 cents. This
is plain discrimination of 7 cents per
pound against Dakota wool. Wisconsin
wool is quoted as such on the marke t
and there is certain definite value to it
which the commission man knows he
must pay to secure it. 1t is different
with our wool. It is classed as terri
torlal" with uncertain and varying QUO
tations. There is no good reason why
Dakota wool should only bring 13 cents,
when the same wool shipped from Wis
consid would readily sell for 20 cents,
yet this condition of affairs is likely to
exist until our wool is quoted in
the wool markets as Dakota WOOL"

Not a Popular Body,

Speaking of the grand jury, of which
he was member, D. E. Hughes says it
was little better than farce. He thinks
there was really no call for grand jury
and that it was needless expense forced
upon the county by some of the more
radical Of the prohibitionists. It is said
that the work of the jury was completed
Thursday, but that some of the mem
bers showed a disposition to remain in
session, and under pay, for few days
longer, anyhow.
1t is reported that the parties indicted
by the grand jury were L. Blum, VIM.
Cowan and Ole Bole. The two former
are charged With violating the prohibi-,
ton law and the latter with breaking
open Northern Pacific freight car This
is the sum of the grand jury's work. It
cost $3.50 to get two indictments against
men who had already left the state, and
one of whom had forfeited his bond.
The other case would never have de-
manded grand jury. The taxpayers
and people generally are thankful that
the grand jury remained IN session no
longer than 1t did.

wanted..-.An Opera House.

The superior drawing power of q
comedy was again noticed Monday night
when the presentation Of 'The Corner
Grocery" was witnessed by fairly good
audience. In the opinion Of many Mr..
Mcfarland makes better Daddy
Nolan than Mr.. Sully himself. He has
force and realism and is master Of
Irish brogue. The bad boy was salts
factorlly bad. Tie play pleased al who
were present, something that has not
been true Of the last few theatrical COM
binations that have appeared here.
The remark of ''Daddy Nolan that he
had $4,000 to build new Opera house
in-well wont say what town" was
caught up by the audience and smiled at
with approval, for every one knew the
actor referred to jamestown. There is
no town on the Northern Pacific where
neat, comfortable and moderately sized
Opera house is needed as badly as here.
People pay city prices to hear perform.
ances that can not be properly produced
in the rink. An Opera house is what
Jamestown sadly needs and what the 60
ahead citizens ought to secure without
further delay.

No 5000 Exemption.

that the personal property assessment

county board.
1t Is unfortunate that the attorney gen.

assessment has now been made,ard upon
the basis of the 900 exemptions. The

commissioners propose to rise to the
emergency and make the $500 deduction
in equalizing assessments. In counties
where the assessment was made as In
this county, such course would meet
with public approval.
