gentlemen reached Fargo too late to gel
hotel Accommodations; &c reluctantly they
journeyed onward to the license city Of
Moorhead. The put the Settler man

The city is positively alive with
tramps. Where they all come from Is a
mystery unexplainable, but they are here
and pass away the time in making re.
quests for financial assistance. Some of
them are tough looking customers, and
one feels just a little nervous about
making long walks at night, unless pro-
tected.
Farmers say this years crop of hay is
enormous. Haying has been in progress
for some time now, and will continue
until harvesting begins. Some hay is
said to be filled with a dangerous
growth, known as arrow grass, especially
bad for sheep, but this falls out when
the grass is ripe for cutting, and unless
hay is made too early, this danger can
be avoided. .
j. B. Power in Fargo Forum: We
commenced cutting wheat Monday, and
it is as good as last year. I expect over
twenty bushels, some of it looks like
thirty. It ought to go No. l hard. We
have rye and barley cut, better crops
than last year, and our corn beats the
world. We can furnish some twenty
varieties of ccrn for the Worlds Far
commissioners, when appointed.
An excellent l~ife-size crayon portrait
of Ex-Governor Church adorns the gov
ernor's Office at the Capitol. The pic
ture was received a few days ago, and
has been the source Of admiration since
it's arrival, on account of it's faithful rep

ernor. Those who knew the governor
say it is perfect of him, both in express
sion of c~ountenance and in attitude.

move, as, if left to lie and purify,
disease might be terminated thereby.

whether to build of brick or wood, and
just when they will begin. They are
upset in q business way by the accident,
and are unable to make any positive
statement as yet. The building will be

The North Dakota agricultural college
is sending out copies Of the first annual
catalogue prior to the opening of the
institution for the fall term. The list Of
pupils who attended the college last year
shows quite a number from Bismarck,
Menoken, Washburn and other towns in
this vicinity. It is probable that those
same pupils will attend the college the
ensuing year.
