Of the stories which he may
have heard concerning North Dakota
farms may be fact after ALL, The view
Of a. traction engine with SIX or eight
plows attached, running over the prairies
turning 40 many burrows Of soil, has
keen interest for him, because he has
never witnessed anything of this kind
before.
There are about 500 of these views on
exhibition. North Dakotans who have
already seen the vslue of this class of
exhibits will urge an addition to the
exhibit from those counties unrepre-
sented. The county officials of Stuts-
man, Foster, Walsh, Grand Forks and
Cass were the only ones, it is said, which
responded to the invitations to send
views Of this character. G.. L. Judd, in
this city, secured number OF views of
prominent and representative places in
Stutsman county and would have &C.

therefrom by the lateness of the season.

Indian Home. Talent.

The war dance given by the Fort Tot
ten Indians Friday afternoon was we'll
worth seeing. The big braves we're
painted to kill, and gave the spectator
his moneys worth in the way of discord-
ant ki.yis-and tom-tom noise. Several
Of the dancers wore themselves out IN
the effort to please. The auditorium
whore the show took place was composed
Of circle OF camp wagons, on the out
side Of which were stretched tents. The
dress circle consisted of seats in the
wagons which we're occupied by Roodly
number Of jamestown people, while the
parquette on the ground was preferred
by the small boy, who added interest TO
the play by frequent whoops Of his own.
The Indian in charge Of the show ex-
plaiued that they would like to give tho
ghost dance but the government would
no: let them. After the performance
the visitors pulled up stakes and left for
the south, on their way to Sisseton.
They charged 25 cents admission to the
dance and got enough to repay them
for their trouble.

Col. Lounsberry'S Bride.

The lady to whom Col. Lounsberry
was recently married is the widow of the
late Col. Harry Brownson, who was the
first agent of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, at Bismarck, and was succeeded by
John Davidson at the time of the re-
organization of the road in 1874, says the
Tribune. Col. Brownson died two years
ago after an illness of nearly ten years.
at Omaha, where they resided before
coming to Bismarck, and where they
have since resided. Col. Crownson was
the master OF the first Masonic lodge at
Bismarck and in North Dakota and
entered as homestead, the Fisher tract
adjoining the homestead of Col Louns-
berry, both now in the corporate limits
of Bismarck. The Worlds fair has
brought these two old friends and neigh
bors together, though they had not met
since 1874, except once for moment.
They will spend the summer at the
Worlds fair.

OF Market Day Interest.

The farmers of Cavalier county have
determined to have market day, the
first of which will soon be held in the
town OF Milton. Speaking of the attrac-
tions proposed, the Globe says:
As the time approaches interest in
the market day becomes intensified.
That it will be successful as far as the
marketing of live stock and general
farm produce is concerned there is no
longer any doubt. Stock and produce
buyers IN eastern cities have been COM
munlcated with and there will be keen
competition on the market that day.
There has been some dis
cusslon as to the advisabllity of hav-
ing horse racing and games in the after
noon, some claiming that 1t would
interfere with the selling of stock, etc.
and that people would come to see the
races instead of to do business. But il
has been determined to have races and
games, however, and it is believed that
there will be enough people here to
ENJOY the races IN the afternoon who will
oe from distance and will have no
stock to sell. The band concert in the
evening will consist of music, vocal and
instrumental, by the best talent to be-
found in this part of the state. There
Will be bowery dancing and all side
amusements generally found upon a
Fourth OF July celebration.

$1,000 for Six Horses.

Testimony IN the agricultural college
case is being taken, and inquiry made
into the prices paid for horses and wheat
for seed, to J. A. Power, recently elected
president and formerly trustee of the
college. 1t developed that from S175 to
$500 head had been paid for mares,
and about the same for six Power geld
ings. one of which has died, two being
worthless and the others not of much
value. The stock, ex.President Stock
bridge thought, should have been OBJ
tanned for $3.50 each. A pedigreed horse
which would run away was also bought
at 1925. OF wheat purchased at 81
bushel for seed, q part was afterwards
sold for s. cents. There seems to be
great difficulty in getting important testi-
mony on either side or at least :. report
OF it in the press. What may be in re-
serve is OF course unknown yet.

Crop Conditions.

W. Fl. Fallon gives the following sum-
mary of crop conditions in the state for
the week ending Monday, June 5th:
Another week Of fine growing weather
has made the outlook for good harvest
more hopeful. All farmers are elated at
the present prospects, The temperature
during the week averaged two degrees
below the normal in the western portion
and two degrees above in the eastern,
with no marked range of extremes.
Throughout the central and northeast
ern counties the precipitation was
above the normal, and in the remain
ing sections somewhat below. The
ample and timely showers have advanced
the growth OF grain and grass wonder
fully. All reports indicate rapid and
healthy growth Of wheat and other
cereals. No damaging conditions oc-
CURED during the week, excepting a
slight one to wheat by high wind on
May 3Oth, in the vicinity of Dawson,
Kidder county, and by excessive rain on
the 3lst in Stutsman and kidder. Very
little seeding remains to be done, only a
few patches of barley and oats; consider
able corn yet to be planted in the
western portion.
The report from Stutsman county is as
follows: The ground is very wet and cold
Tor this time of the year. Grain is
doing fairly we'll. Nearly everyone is
seeding but farmers think more
warmth and sunshine would be beneficial.
Excessive rain OF the 1st caused slight
damage to crops.

FOURTEEN BODIES REMOVED
From the Old City Cemetery
Where They Laid for Nearly
a Quarter Century.
Agricultural College Testi-
mony Taken. Excessive
Prices for Horses.
The Northern Pacific Elevator
Company Fails for a Large
Amount.

The work OF removing the bodies from
the old cemetery near the old Danner
brewery buildings has been going on for
sometime past and is quite task involv-
ing more labor than expected at first.
Up to date fourteen bodies have been
removed, only one of which could be
identified. This was the body of Mr..
Miller, brother-in-law of J. W. Goodrich,
who died many years ago. The remains
we're removed by Mr.. Goodrlch to High
land Home cemetery at his own expense.
Very little Is found of the remains, OF
any of the dead, except the larger bones
and the skulls. Once in while enough
of the clothing Is retained to denote the
sex but only in few cases. The coffins
have rotted and fallen in fastening the
process of disintegration and decay. In
very few cases was much of the hair to
be found; everything had disappeared.
In one case a mother and child were
buried in the same coffin, and all that
could be found of the latter was a por-
ton of It's skull.
A huge coffin, about seven feet in
length, was discovered containing a
skeleton wrapped in canvass, somewhat
after the fashion in which mummies are
encased. The sides of the coffin had
rotted away but the top and bottom
were intact. So we'll was the bottom
boards preserved that the subject was
lifted out of the excavation by means of
harness reins. The remains were those
of powerful, we'll built six.footer with
massive frame and head. No clothing
or shroud, except the surrounding can
vas was discovered. The top OF the
coffin was nearly six feet below the sur
face and it was no small task to make
the excavation necessary to reach it.
Alderman Blood, chairman Of the
special committee in charge of the work,
states that none Of the graves
were marked by either head or
foot boards, or the coffins by name
plates, 1t Is impossible to distinguish
one from the other, and they are placed
in one common grave in Highland Home
cemetery. On the top OF one coffin a
metal cross was discovered, but this was
the only case in which any distinguish
ing mark was noticed. The bodies of
the dead were placed IN the cemetery
from 20 to q years ago, but the processes
Of time have been rapid and destructive,
and not even the names OF the owners
are known.

An Elevator Failure.

Information was received Wednesday
that the Northern Pacific Elevator COM
had failed for large amount. and that
Montreal bank had issued instructions
to attach the property. The cause for
the failure is said to be speculation and
the financial stringency of the times.
The company has five elevators in this
county, one each at Ypsilanti, Mont
pelier, jamestown, Pingree and Ed
munds. There Is little or no wheat in
them and none are at present opened.
the wheat having been shipped out
chiefly to escape taxation. Holders of
