Western North Da K ota.

Past experience, says the Northwest
Magazine, has demonstrated that ordinary
wheat-raising in western Dakota is not a
regularly profitable industry. The early
settlers OF that region, who immigrated
with the sole object Of wheat-growing,
seem to have studied the natural condi-
tions and resources of the country to
little purpose or advantage. OF late years
some little attention has been given
to sheep, gradually demonstrating that
no portion of the country is better adapted
to that business. The range is prac.
tically limitless; the climate is in every
way suitable the feed is abundant, and
the fine natural grasses make the very
best hay possible for sheep. The soil or
season which may fail to produce wheat
crop could scarcely fail to yield large re-
turns of turnips or other roots essential
to best success in sheep.raising. Farm.
ers who have tried turnips and faiIed'
would probably fail in any enterprise
that required thought ingenuity or new
methods. Because root crops; sowed as
late in the season as is customary In local
tiles east Of the Mississippi river. do not
seem to do well because Of lack Of doist-
ure, thefe is as yet no reason to suppose
that crop failure would result If the tur.
nip or rutsbaga seeds. were put in early
enough to get the benefit Of the June
rains. So far as alkali in the soil 10 con.
csrned, it is well known that cultivation
soon eradicstes it altogether. Western
North Dakota ia 10 eminently adapted in
every way to sheep. and wool growing
that it 10 only question Of time when
the vast ranges now unoccupied will be
alive with feecy focks. and the profitless
plains will become the best producing
portion of North Dakota.

A Double Wedding,

States Attorney Lynn and the writer
made trip down to the central part of
the county the fore part of the week, to
attend double wedding in the Russo
German settlement. Mr.. Peter Kraft,
prominent German farmer, was married to
Mrs. Fischer, widow, and Stephen
Kraft, the elder bridegroom's son,
espoused Miss Fischer, daughter Of the
elder bride. Both brides are newly ar
rived from across the ocean. The mar
riage ceremony was performed in church
on Sunday, and Monday and Monday
night were devoted to celebrating the
weddings. There was music and dancing
galore. The dances were mostly of the
old. d.country form, but there were frequent
American dances-quadrilles- which
the German young people as,well as the
several native.born Americans present
participated. The songs that were sung
we're not Russian at all. but German, and
"Die Wacht am Rhein'' was one of them
as = matter of course. There we're many
examples Of old.country customs that
were exceedingly interesting to native
visitor who had not before seen them.
When new arrival drove up the com.
pany, with the instrumental music, and oil
the people singing, came outside Of the
house to receive the newcomers, and all
shook hands with them. The English
speaking people present were treated
in the most kindly and hospitable manner,
and all departed with the best of wishes
for Messrs. Peter and Stephen Kraft and

STUDENT TAYLOR's CASE.
He Must Stay in Jail Until He Purges
Himself of Contempt.

WATKINS, n. Y, March 2s.-Judge
Smith has rendered his decision in tn e
habeas corpus case of f. L. Taylor, the
Cornell student, who was sent to Jail
by Judge Forbes for contempt. The
prisoner is remanded to the sheriff of
Tompkins county under the commitment
upon which he is now committed
The decision is an exhaustive one, and
closes by saying that the contempt for
which Taylor is now imprisoned is for
not answering the questions put to him,
or rather for making his only answer: 81
throw myself upon my privilege" If he
shall appear before the grand jury at its
next meeting and there make answer to
the questions which have been asked
him, or make oath that the answer to
such questions will tend to criminate
him, he may then claim his privilege and
will have purged himself of the contem pt
for which he now stands committed.

William X. Townsend, in the United

decision in the long contested American
flag case of Henry A. Boman, of New

others, of New York, to permanently en-
join defendan from using patent
method of stitching stars on the field of
the American flag, two stars being sewed
each on opposite sides at the same time.
Judge Townsend finds that the principle
involved in the patent is old and therefore
ordered the bill dismissed.
