let is the finest novelty and greatest

Who Is the BOmberRer?

Additional information in regard to
the Burmeister murder at Towner has
been given but no definite clue yet
secured rs to who was the prepetrator OF
the atrocity. The mother of the child
rem died last spring and all fall the
father has been away threshing, leaving
the little children alone. The nearest
nelghbor was an old bachelor, who says
he did not know Of the fire until the
next morning.
When messenger reached the father
Saturday morning, the man, after being
told of the murder Of his four children,
remained to "fnlsh job" Of threshing
and did not reach home until 10 O'Clock
at night. The grandparents Of the child
rem alived about mile and half away,
but would not allow tho little girl and
boys to live with them because they were
too much trouble.
Altogether it is queer deal. The
carelessness OF the children's welfare
seems almost criminal. The coroner's e
Jury has not yet reported and Sheriff
Pitts and States Attorney Torson are
working hard on the case and may have
some developments at any early date.

mento from G.Tellner. But the crown

Experiment in Seeding Wheat.

The North Dakota Globe reports State
Senator Haggart, who owns large farm
six miles from Fargo, ss saying that last
spring he tried the experiment of seed
ing one section of land, drilling the
wheat crosswise. He put in six pecks Of
seed to the acre, drilling in three pecks
east and west, and three pecks north
and south. By this means the seed was
more equally distributed over the land.
One result was the total absence of
weeds in the wheat. On the entire
section, Mr.. Haggsrt states, there was
not handful of weeds. The yield ex-
ceeded thirty bushels per acre, the land
having been seeded to wheat for more
than years. Mr.. Haggsrt says that he
has seeded oats and barley crosswlse for
two 20 years, and the results have been
satisfactory. He thinks that it. would
be we'll to seed flax that way, because if
seed was clean it would prevent the
growth of weeds usually found with fax.

Jonn Hanahan, first vice grand master
Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and international organizer fol
Canada, Mexico and the United States
was in the city Mondsy and organized q
local lodge Of the order. There arc
twenty charter members. The officers
elected are 40 follows: A. J. Tometz
master; J. G. Murphy, secretary and
collector; J. M. Friess receiver, and M
A. Malone, magazine agent. Meetings
will be held every week.
The organization begins it's existence
with Q rush and vim. Mr.. Hannahsn
states that he has been very cordially
received and disposition evinced on
the part Of officers and employees to build
up the Brotherhood. Everywhere he
goes there is Q return of confidence,
which is exceedingly gratifying.
The local lodge in this city will EN-.
brace the entire Dakota division in its
jurisdiction. This city, on account Of

Dr. d. 8. Moore is medical examiner for
the lodge and today received numerous

awake organizer, with fund OF kuowl.
edge which he has acquired on his tours
to all parts of the North American CONT

of the Brotherhood, and is an inter-
esting speaker. He intends to return
in the spring and hold series OF meet
ing in Jamestown. The plan is to have
representatives here from the two Da-
kotas and Minnesota. Mr.. Hannahan
left in the afternoon for Grand Forks
where another lodge will be formed. At
all these places where he is now organ
lzing lodges there we're lodges before
but they disbanded. He has a call to

firmed, by the peculiar conditions pre-.
vailing today. The Aberdeen News
mentions the barrenness Of the rlver bed
at points east and southeast of there.
Teams cross at will on the dry bottoms
wherever the approaches are not too
prscipitous and rough. At one place q
farmer has actually sunk we'll in the
center Of the river bed, where the water
has run torrents in it's balmy seasons,
for the purpose of getting drink for stock.
Except for occasional pools and an extra
deep recess the shining circle and wind
Of the river for miles and miles has DIS
appeared.
At Oskes and north there is still
plenty OF water in the river and in many
places the banks are nearly full. At
Huron, according to the Huronite, "the
raging and classical Jim still pours its
waters over the dam and the rushing
cataract can be heard for miles," There
is, in fact, plenty of water above and be-
low Aberdeen, circumstance which GER
tsinly goes to sustain the theory that an
underground passage way exists. The
peculiar conditions are certainly hard to
explain in any other way.

Anniversary Ball.

Fort Seward lodge A. o. U W. assisted
by Golden Rod lodge Degree of Honor,
the ladies auxiliary OF the same order,
celebrated Monday evening the snniver-
ssry of the founding of the order in
1852 years ago.
The lodge room was tastefully adorned
with bunting and streamers
in the colors OF the order
red and blue-whtle golden rod, which
the ladies have taken as the emblem OF
their branch OF the order, was used pro-
fusely in the wall decorations with good
effect. The main lodge room and the
hall adjoining were used for dancing
purposes. The attendance was just
sufficient to nicely occupy the floor space
and the evening passed only too quickly.
Music was furnished by Warnock's g
orchestra. Refreshments were served
during the evening.
This order has had a remarkable
growth in the brief quarter of century
of Its history. It now has thirty-two
grand lodges, 5000 sub-lodges and $780,.
600 members IN the United States and
Canada. Since organization over 50,-
100000 have been dlsbursed in benefits,
of which s6,5OO,OOO were disbursed dur
ing the last fiscal year. The order has
bad rapid growth not only in this city
and in this state alone, but IN all the
states Of the union. It appeals especi-
ally to those who earn their bread "by
the sweat of their brow" but also is
popular IN all classes.
Fort Seward lodge ls one of the very
few lodges in the two Dakotas whose
membership exceeds 300, and yearly
adds many to its rolls
The weekly dances, for members
alone, will shortly be begun.

School Land Leasirgs.

The state land department has de-.
cided to hold the lessinRs Of school lands
next January instead of in March and
May, as heretofore. This action is taken
IN order that the cost of advertising the
lands for lease may be paid out of the
present ample Appropriation. If the
leasinRs we're delayed to the usual dates
there would DO no money on hand to
pay advertising expenses, as, after the
code goes into effect, the appropriation
will be go reduced as to prohibit any
such expense.
: The hay and pasture tracts will be
leased at the same time as those having
cultivated lands, thus making quite a
saving in expense and trouble to the
farmers and department.
The cost of advertising the school
lands for lease is about 81, 800.

WHEAT AND PRICES.
Attention Called to an Anom-
alous Condition of the
Worlds Wheat Crop.
Feathered Songsters of the
Prairie-the Meadow Lark
and BlaCkbird.

Wyllie Nelson Of Valley City, who is 9
careful reader of the market conditions
says concerning the present supply ol
wheat and the prices:
The London Miller OF the 7th inst, tc
hand the other day, contains an exhsus'
tive review Of the worlds wheat crop.
The London Miller estimates the world'a
surplus wheat from the 1885 crop, ovs1
the worlds requirements for bread and
seed for the next twelve months cereal
year,, to be SO, ,183, 900 bushels. In other
words, on this years worlds wheat crop
only $4,000, 900 bushels are to spare when
the worlds food and seed requirements
are supplied.
have IN my possession the London
Miller, October edition OF 1891, with Q
like review Of the worlds wheat crop and
surplus over requirements. In 1892 the
Mlller's estimate of surplus over require
ments wss Ill, ,O34 ,032 bushels Hence
according to this authority-which I
consider second to none-the world has
this year about 100000 bushels less
wheat to spare than IN 1892.
Another interesting point:-October
1st, 1892, No. hard, Duluth, wheat was
$3.50 per bushel in Liverpool. On Octo.
Der 1st, this month, 1895, No. hard
wheat was 771lo per bushel in Liver
pool.
October LIST, 1892, with crop surplus
for the world nearly SO,0OO,0OO bushels
larger than this year, We find No. hard
Duluth wheat 21c bushel higher than
on the 1st inst. These are facts and
they are of value as showing the strong
position OF wheat today. Then con-
slider our own visible 100000 bushels
less than on October % last year.

TIMBER DESTROYED.
Prairie Fire Burns Timber at
SpiritWood Lake-Cot-
taRes Just Saved.
Stable and Granary Belonging
to J. B. Default Burned
Marrow Escapes.

Report has been received OF another
extensive prairie fire north Of here. Tho
fire occurred Friday and came from the
west Of the river, burning to Spiritwood
lake. Frank Eddy and his men worked
Ill the morning bnrninR guards and
thereby saved considerable property for
themselves and others. Many of the
neighbors were away from home at the
time.
J.B. Default, on section 17-14l-63
lost his stable and granary.
Joseph Slime had close call but sue
ceeded in SAVING everything except the
pasturage and some straw.
The flames ran into the timber at the
lake and it 70 feared that considerable is
killed. There was very little grass under
the trees and it was thought that the
fire could do no harm. The fence
posts surrounding the pasture were de.
stroyed.
II it had not been for prompt work
the Wlnslow and Gray cottages would
have burned also. A race with the fire
was made from A. Fried's farm but the
flames outstrlpped the horse.
Though the heroic efforts OF Tony
Haas and Frank LEM, it is said, much
straw was saved.
The Mutz school house was given a
severe smoking but otherwise escaped
injury.
The fire is supposed to b I've started
west of the James river in the vicinity of
Buchanan. 1t came from that direc-
ton. Towards night the wind veered to
the northwest but the fire had them
burned itself out, otherwise it would
have run down toward the city. The
fire occurred early in the afternoon.
