1t should not be forgotten, says the
Dakota Farmer, that manure enables soil
TO retain more water than 1t otherwise
would. 1t is therefore important to make
use of all the manure available, even if
our western soil is rich and strong.
: Miss johnson and Miss Gzitschka at
tended the examination at Williamsport
last week. The former is teaching in
the Bringhurst schoolhouse, Cherry Grove
district, and the latter has a school in
Logan district. Both of the young
ladies, by their pleasant manners, have
made MANY friends during the brief pc.
riod since they came to the neighborhood.
Why should not more farmers follow
the example of the farmer at Mapleton,
Cass county, who last year grew an acre
of asparagus, and received $500 for the
product of that acre? asks the Mandan
Pioneer. We are close enough to the
markets of Montana and Minnesota to
make money at the business. Asparagus,
celery and many such crops pay better
than wheat. n
Myron r. Kent, who is wanted fer
completely in the murder of his wife at
Mandan. was arrested at Trenton, Neb.,
last Thursday on charge of grand lar
ceny. Sheriff Bingenheimer, of Mandan,
was tclegraphed and started for Nebraska
armed with requisition from the gov
|>ernor, but on arriving in Minneapolis he
learned that Kent had eluded the Trenton
authorities and escaped.
L. II. Rheams, familiarly known among
'his'friends as Little Tommy" and who
is contesting the Alexander claim, was in
Williamsport Saturday last. "Tom' has
been farming it only short time, but
is demonstrating the fact that he's a "hus-
tier" He has 20 acres of OATS up and
looking fine; 10 acres of corn, two acres
of potatoes, and is now breaking &c
acres which he will sow to flax--makipg
90 acres he will have broken and cropped
this year. b..-
The coroner's jury in the Kent case at
Mandan held another meeting Monday,
and found that in their opinion Mrs. Kent
came 10 her death at the hands of Sudi-
enski, the hired man, but whether acci.
dentally or Intentionally the Jury could
not say. This ends Sudienski's relations
WIN thls Jury, put States Attorney Voss
has now taken the matter in hand, and
will probably bring Sudienski before
magistrate, for commitment to Jail, to
await trial and a complete investiga-
ton.

strated that it can be done. Mr.. George
McGidden made two gallons of fine syr.
up this spring from the sap of the box
alder trees on his farm. The syrup can
hardly be distinguished by its taste from
the regular article. A number of others
have made the syrup. 1t takes more sap
to make gallon of syrup, but it runs
more freely from the box alder than from
maple trees.
