A Sad journey,

Mr.. Fields, the genial assistant
pharmacist at Kalteyer d Schu-

to his old home in Illinois by the
serious illness of a favorite sister.
Since then it has been learned that
she has died from the malady from
which she suffered and all her affec-
tionate' brother can do is to see
that the last solemn rites over her
remains are duly celebrated.

Militia Boys Under Otficial Scrutiny.
Tuesday evening in the Armory Co.
H was inspected by Col. Miller, Lieut..
Farnsworth having been compelled, un
expectedly and much against his will, to
return to Grand Forks directly from
Bismarck. The company made fine
showing and went through the manual
of arms in excellent style. Owing to the
limited space in the armory an extended
drill in foot movements was dispensed
with. but in the manual OF arms the COM
pany showed that that they were only
exceeded by but few companies.
There were thirty members present.
out Of total OF forty, ranking third in
attendance OF the infantry companies in-
spected this fall. Bismarck came first
with an attendance OF 40, followed next
by Fargo with 81. The officers of the
company confidently expected that the
attendance would be about thirty five

Railroad Rumbllngs.

Engines Nos. 81 and 437 have been
equipped with Priest snow Hangers.
The Alert's railroad news supplies
most of the other papers IN the state
with their railroad material
The verdict in the case of Patch vs.. the
Northern Pacific Railroad company was
IN favor of the plaintiff for $1,000.
Judge Thomas granted an Injunction
on the auditors of LaMoure, Dickey and
Griggs counties to restrain them from
selling Northern Pacific lands for taxes.
AS near as the public cap learn. the
railroad employees on the Northern Pa
ciic are not generally advising a strike
on account of the cut in wages. The
general sentiment, as far as can be
heard. appears to be that this is not our
lucky year. and bird in the hand Is
worth two in the bush. The men real
ize that times are hard everywhere, and
that thousands of men are seeking for
work at almost any price in all parts of
the country.A man with steady position
that brings him a living tnis winter
. should congratulate himself. Every
person IN every occupation is required
to cut expenses and conform to the
times. The Northern Pacific company.
under the present management. has
always treated the employees fairly, and
good wages have been made for many
years on the other hand the men believe
they have earned every dollar they have
received, as this is a hard country to
railroad in. The schedules accepted by
the road have been liberal and it is said
the company gives more privileges to
every class OF employees than nearly any
other road in the country. Men who
have worked on other roads say the
Northern Pacific has been very clever in
this respect. Anyhow it Is not matter
OF choice or wish with most of us IN
1881. A situation at fair wages Is a
good deal better than none, and with the
Northern Pacific no oce need be afraid
that the present management, at least,
will not do the right thing by all it's men
in good times. 1t is said that the en-
ployes are we'll organized and that while
there is an Gndericurrent of strike senti-
ment there is also strong opposition to
this from cooler heads. Some of the men
think that while strike might be sue
cessful it would not be the best thing
for them in the end

but several were unavoidably kept away.
Taking into account that the company
recently went through a fire they made
good appearance. There was slight
lack Of uniformity in the matter Of uni
forms, but what they lacked in this
essential they made up in the matter of
drill. After being formed in two ranks
Col. Miller passed down the lines and
made on inspection of the arms and &C.
coutrements OF each member.
It was announced that the company
would give ball this evening in the
armory, for the members Of the company
only and few specially invited guests,
after which there would be supper at
the Gladstone. The dance and supper
is complimentary, all bills being paid by
the company.
BY special arrangements, the members
of the company attended the theater last
night.
In conversation, after drill, COL Miller
stated that Lieuu. Farnsworth regretted
very much that he was unable to attend
the inspection. He made the acqualnt-
ance of number of the company last
Sunday and wished very much to meet
the company in social way, as we'll.

The Closing Of Ye Pig.

Grafton News Times The closing up
of the "blind pig" fraternity on Saturday
last seems to have been and is the all
absorbing topic of conversation. Why
they were allowed to run six months
without demonstration similar to that
which took place on Saturday is perhaps
best known to the attorneys. The plan
Of closing them vas very cleverly execut
ed and twelve injunctions were served
simultaneous and the chilly wind of No.
vember soon whlstled up the nose of
the festive "plgger' as he crossed vacant
lots and back alleys to inform his neigh
Dor that "there was something going to
DROP" At present everything seems to
be dry about town, but yesterdays train
brought in few boxes and jugs as was
formerly the practice. Whether the raid
will last, and the parties given to under
stand that the sale OF liquor will not be
tolerated IN Grafton, the future alone
can demonstrate.
Bismarck Tribune: When, in calling
the calendar, case against the first
alleged blind pig was struck, Attorney
General Standish said he believed the
prohibition law was being willfully vlo-
lated in Bismarck at this time. He was
informed that no more than three weeks
ago two car loads of beer, fully loaded,
came in to supply this town. He did not
believe that buildings should be released
on affi6avits Of the owner. At the same
time he did not believe it right to prose-
cute one or two men and allow others
equally guilty to go scot free. So he
moved that all the cases in which his
name appeared be put over the term. He
believed that there was growing sentl-
ment in this part of the state favoring
| the enforcement OF the prohibitory law.
| There was one noted case tried in Stark
county, and the court was aware as to
the evidence there. Members Of that
jury who voted for acquittal, had
travelled to Bismarck and told the
speaker that it ever such case came
before them again as iurymen, they
would assume different attitude.

VALUES WILL RETURN.

Land Prices In Former Depressions.
J. Goldsbury, the old veteran in Min
neapolis real estate, has this to say to
holders of realty. says the Journal:
During the terribly depressing times
from 1856 to 1861, when wheat (Which
was selling in 1858 for sl.25) went down
to so and GO cents, and many banks and
trust companies failed, farmers began tu
see that wheat was not to be depended
on, and that diversified crops and stock
farming must take the place of wheat.
At that time farming land suffered most
severely. and land near market which
had sold for s25 or $50 per acre, each
was hawked sbout at Sc to $40 and no.
body to buy. And lands more remote
which had sold for S. to $40 in 1856
found no buyers at 81 per acre, or even
less. The same land sold within three
years hereafter-those near market fol-
S25 to $40 or $50 per acre, and those re-
mote for from $40 to s12 or SIS per acre
Farmers need not be discouraged at the
present Depression, for such extremes are
sure to follow each other. The ups Ind
downs with butter and eggs come every
year, and of wheat and pork less fre
quently, while farming land takes much
longer time. These assertions as
to land can be proved, for hund
reds of acres OF land were
then bought by men whom know (uoW
living) for 81 per acre, and sold three OF
five years later for $40 and SIS per acre
write this to strengthen those who fee
that for them the end of the world has
come.
"There are today acres of lana IA the
Dakotas that were considered few
years ago to be worth $40 per acre that
today can be picked up for 50 and 8;
per acre, and that, too, among 9ooc
farmers, who just now have no money
to buy, that will sell again for $40 OF
even $40 within three or five years-note
that down on the last page of your
ledger. I hope you will stir up the peo
pie of the east who have little money
to invest now, and not wait until they
have to pay the highest prices, and the1

Wahpeton Globe: The disclosures OF
the banking business 1T 1.-The Lloyds" at
jamestown, as published in The Alert,
cause the greatest surprise. "Lloyds,
bankers" were looked upon by their &C.
quaintances as shrewd, honorable men.
While they were regarded as mercenary
in their dealings with men they were
supposed to be too jealous of their bust
ness honor and standing to do anything
discreditable. From the disclosures it
would seem that the Lloyds must join
the grand army of rascals who have
caused 60 much ruin and misery through
the misplaced confidence reposed 10
them.

Beginning Monday the schools open
at $50 o'clock instead OF 8 as formerly.
This is the regular winter schedule, and
will give the pupils from $50 to II m.
and 1:30 to p. m. for the daily hours of
study.
The school census for this year was
taken on Dec. !, but the final result will
probably not he known for some days
yet, &c days being allowed in which to
make the returns. The enumeration
last December showed 1921 children De-
tween the ages OF and 90 in the county.
Acting County Superintendent Lyon
states that he has received the semi-an- l.
nual apportionment of funds for the
schools IN Stutsman county, from State
superintendent Eisenhuth, amounting
to $1,O56.S0, or 50 cents per child, taken
on the basis of the school population as
rendered by the census of Dec. 1st, 1892.
The apportionment previous to this was
over dollar pupil.
The oratorical contest is receiving at
tention from the pupils who are making
active preparations, under the guidance
OF Prof. Wagner, for the coming event.
Seventeen students signiied their inten-
ton of competing for the honor of repre-
senting the jamestown schools at Wah-
peton, but this number was reduced to
eleven and, at preliminary contest held
last Wednesday, still further reduced to
the following eight: Nellie Wallace
Maude Roper, Belle Tilden, Clemma
Buck, Mae Miller, Clara Bradley, Mildred
Nashoid and Carrie Bronson. A final
selection OF two will be made at some
date yet to be decided upon, probably
about the 10th, in public hall to which
small admittance fee will be charged tc
help defray the expenses OF the success

The literary selections which the
aspirants have decided upon cover wide
range, from dramatic to pathetic, and
from comic to tragic. No boy has yet
appeared who will contest for the honorf
with the girls. The boys are conspicuous
by their absence.
The high school contains three boys
and thirty girls.
