Lands Sell Cheap,

For some reason the auction sale Of
farm lands, made Saturday by MIR. E. P.
Wells, agent for outside owners, did not
attract the bidders expected. The lands
sold consisted of three pieces. varying in
value. It hae been advertised thor
oughly, warranty deeds and abstracts
offered and considerable inquiry aroused
concerning sale. The land was adver-
tised to be sold to the highest bidder
without reserve. The best parcel "A 24O
acre tract-lles only six miles east OF
jamestown and two miles from railroad
and elevator. 1t is ali arabic land suita-
BILE for grain culture. The other 100
acre tract is not as good land as it lies
partially on the bluff, but is suitable for
dairying and farming and has spring OF
pure water. It is only three miles from
city. All the tracts we're bid in by
Marion Conklin. The owners were Mr..
and Mrs. Pratt. of Boston. The price
obtained was less per acre for the best
tract, than other landsi in the vicinity are
held at. In fact land in that neighbor.
hood is held at for $40 to $40 an acre, if
cultivated and improved. All the laud
sold was wild land, and the terms cash
may have had something to do with the
apathy Of bidding. The sale ls no
criterion for the price of good Stutsman
county land.

THE STATE SAVES MONEY.
BY Use OF the Lignitc Fuel at The
Insane Hospital.

BY Use OF the Lignitc Fuel at The
Insane Hospital.
In conversation with Engineer Petit
grew at the asylum, an Alert reporter
learned that The state was saving about
sl3O ton on fuel by using the l,gnlte coal
at the price furnished by the Gull River
Lumber Co., of this city. The 1nstitu-
tion has been using during the moder
ately cold weather about seventeen tons
of this coal day, and in extremely cold
weather over twenty tons daily. 1t is
better fuel in Summer than in winter, as
it dries more rapidly. The asylum
engineer estimates that ton Of dry
Ignite is equal to considerably more
than half the same quantity of the best
eastern soft coal, say sixty per cent. In
winter there is more moisture in the fuel
and 1t Is equivalent to but little over half
of the bituminous coal, or about
81 per cent. The hest bid that
was ever obtained for eastern
soft coal was 20 ton. At these
figures the state is saving five to slx
thousand dollars a year by using the
western coal. Mr.. Pettlgrew has enlarged
the draft Of the fire boxes, in the boilers,
and experience has taught the engineers
and tiremen how to handle the fuel to
the best advantage.

more, Mrs. and Miss Snlder OF Mime
apolis, and Mrs. Chas Chester Bassett,
gave the second at home of the season at
Cllfb"urne, their charming SUBURBAN
home. This reception was similar to
the tea Of last week, for which some in
vitations we're sent out; but like most Of
the afternoon teas given in Washington
it was not formal invitation affair, as
many we're bidden personally by the
hostess, Mrs. Casey's card with the date
was sent to others, while announcements
were inserted in the city papers that
anyone here temporarily might be aware
of this opportunity to pay their respects.
The first was a:.yellow tea Thursdays
was pink one. The table, bountifully
laden with the choicest refreshments,
was symphony with it's lovely decora-
tlons; La France roses, azalies and car
nations being used for the center-plece.
White swans bearing burdens Of little
pink flowers hoated on mimic lakes and
outside this was a circle of tiny pink
bowls filed with dainty pink confectlons.
The wax tapers burned beneath pink
shades, the canda]abrums were tied with
pink ribbons, even the cheese straws had
bows Of PINK. Everything was pink ex-
cept the toilets of the ladies.
Mrs. Casey was in an elegant and be-
coming gold girdled black velvet gown.
trimmed with gold fringe. Mrs. Stone
wore black moire silk, heavily trimmed
with jet nail heads. Mrs. Platt, who pre-
sided in the refreshment room, was at
tired in a LOUIS XIV coat of black velvet
brocaded in colors, the skirt being of
black satin elaborately embroidered in
jet. Mrs. Snider's costume was yellow
and black stripped brocade, cut low at
the throat. Miss Snider's dress was of
gold silk-a pointed waist and bell tram
ed skirt. Mrs. Bassett was IN hello
trope wool and velvet robe. All the
ladies wore handsome jewels.
The day YVES an exceedingly disagree
able one for SO long drive, notwith
standing which the rooms were kept full
the entire afternoon.
Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Stone will receive
their friends the remaining Thursdays IN

Something that Every School Dis.

something That Every ScnOOl DIS.
trict Ought to Have.
The superintendent of public ipstruc-
tion has had printed a catalogue of lab
pages, containing list of over 1900 books
which are suitable to the wants Of school
DISTRICTS. The list is recommended to
school boards who are empowered to
purchase at any time, $50 worth of books,
approved by the school superintendent,
for circulating library to be used by
the inhabitants of the school district.
By special ection $500 can be SO ex-
pended. The state superintendent
recommends the books in the catalogue
but they can be purchased Of any pub
fishing house. State Superintendent
Ogden recommends the school book firm
"f d. d. Merrill Company, st. Paal, and
encloses in the catalogues sent to county
Supt Wadsworth handy order sheet
in which the names of the books selected
can be written. The prices are said TO
be reasonable, but doubtless any respon.
sible book firm would be glad to oquote
discounts from the list prices of books, 80
any school district asking for them.
Fifty dollars will purchase at least so
good books. The school board can ap-
point a ilurarian, which may be one OF
their own number, and shall make rules
regarding the care of the books, &C., all
of which Is provided for in the school
law.
during the long winter nights, when
farmers aud their families have plenty
OF time to read. the possession of even a
small library in the district is a useful
and desirable thing to have, and it
would seem that every school district IN
the county could not make better in
vest ment than to purchase $50 worth of
books. The catalogues may be had At
the Office of Supt Wadsvorth, who
would doubtless lend his assistance in the
selection, If needed.

n, r. Taxes Paid.

G. s. Fernald. tax commissioner of the
Northern Pacific, was present at the
meeting OF the county commissioners
Saturday to conslder the adjustment of
tax matters proposed in the call for a
special meeting Of the board. Owing to
the storm Commissioner Leisch was un-
able to be present, and the matter was
continued until another time, as it was
decided that all members Of the board be
present when it is discussed. 1t is un-
derstood that the company is willing to

submit propositions looking towards
the settlement of all old tax
matters, on a basis fair to
to the county and to the road as we'll,
and the subject will be brought up at
some future meeting. Mr.. Fernald paid
into the treasury today about $4,000
operating or personal property taxes for
1891, and will pay the land tax for last
year in May next. This amounts to
about as much more. Last year the
company paid about $4,000 taxes into
the county, and this year the amount
will be practically the same.
