ton of North Dakota, for which company
OLAF Berquam was agent and whose crops

their losses fully and satisfactorily adjusted

Bismarck Tribune: Mr.. Gregory's bill
to abolish the law known as the "herd law"
is measure which will meet with opposi-
tion from the farmers, but will be mush
appreciated by the stock men of the
western counties. 1t practically reverses
the present order of things, requiring the
farmer to fence against encroachments of
cattle.
Fargo Commonwealth: Nebraska sends
fulton senator elected by tho democrats
and independents. Judge w. V. Allen is
the lucky candidate. The senate now
stands 43 democrats 40 republicans and
populists. North Dakota, Montana and
Wyoming yet to elect. ALI of these states
except Montana are conceded to the re-
publicans to make their strength 40. The
democrats will organize with the support
of the populists and control the senate
with good working majority.
Settler: An important circular has just
been issued by commissioner Williams. of
the department af Agriculture and Labor.
Our farmers do not need to be reminded
that "smut" IN grain is becoming an alarm
ing factor and any information that will
tend to eradicate or lessen the evil is of
great value. The circular alluded to con-
tains just the information needed upon
that subject and now Is the time to get it.
Adress letter or postal card to Com. of
Agrtcultur and Labor, Bismarck, N. d.,
and Mr. Williams will send you @ copy.
Dentist Charles A. Van Duzee is on a
legal hunt for act of false teeth now rest
ing in the face of William j. Wooley, and
if successful IN his petition made yester
day to the district court defendant Wooley
will be forced to live on soup until some
else supplies him with half circle of mo-
lars. Van Duzee claims that he manu-
factured the instruments of food destruc-
tion, and for long time fattered himself
with the fond belief that Wooley would
liauldate, but the latter was too busy to
think Of the vulgar coin of the realm and
suffered such lapses of memory that he
kept on chewing, and left the dentist to
his own resources st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Why, dear Mr.. Pioneer Press, we had a
fellow here few days ago that would beat
Wooley all to pieces. He is known here
as slack the Ripper," but he had double
sett of molars, and ohewed up several con-
fdential persons hereabouts to the incon-
ventieuce of their pocket t-books inamounts
varying from IS to $50.

the present year, The $500" is now
graded to Bisr,arck-right into the city
limits--and the completion to Bismarck
means the extension to the coal fields of
Mclean county. The completion of the
capitol building will restore confidence in
Bismarck, md conadench once restored,
