fore, and no such question in insurance
having come up for settlement. The
eastern persons who are interested with
Mr.. Fromme have been advised of the
loss, and have wired that the place be
left as it is, and as 1t was after the &C.

HE consumption OF sugar in the
United States shows an increased per
capita sweetness, and the figures given
by the bureau of statistics shows that
there has been al increase for the period
covered from l8S0-1894, not only in the
absolute amount of sugar consumed,
which would naturally result from the
growth of population, even if the guam
tlty consumed per %inhabitant remained
stationary, but also in the consumption
per capita. The total consumption in
1894 amounted to over 100000 tons,
which WAS more than double the CON
sumption for the year 1880. OF the total
amount consumed last year a little over
],7O0,OOO tons were imported, a slightly
larger proportion than that in 1880. The
consumption ofsugar per capita increased
from 43 pounds in 1888 to 63b pounds
in 1894, an increase, as will be seen, of
not far from 50 per cent.
ANOTHER marked improvement in
mail service in the nation has been made,
the Wabash road having inaugurated it's
fast mail from Kansas City to st. Louis.
and furnished the much desired link in
the transcontinental chain mail service
east bound from the Pacific to the At.
lantic seaboard. The new train will
leave Kansas City at $50 p. m. and will
arrive in st. Louis at 2:3O a. M. From
Moberly to st. Louis, 148 miles, the new
train will make the fastest time of any
train west Of the Mississippi, covering
the run in 3 hours and As minutes. The
effect of this will be to deliver San
Francisco letters in Washington in a
day shorter time than has been required.
and further attests the growing excel
lence Of Uncle Sans mail service-the
finest 10 the world.
A GRAND Forks Twin City special
says Major Hamilton of that CITY pos
sesses that which he prizes very highly.
not only because it is a work he has long
been in search Of, but the source from
whence it came to him makes it all the
more valuable. Il is a copy Of the first
territorial code for Dakota territory,
compiled in 1865 BY the commission ap-
pointed by President Lincoln, and Of
which David Dudley Field, the donor,
was a member. AS there are but few
copies known to be in existence, Major
Hamilton values the WORK as being not
only OF great benefit to him in his duties
OF compiling, but q valuable acquisition
10 his law library.

Medical Association.

The State Medical Board held a meet
ing at Fargo Thursday evening, and
effected a partial reorganization by
electing DR.. Wheeler of Grand Forks
secretary. The terms of office of three
members Of the board expire this mouth.
DR.. McLachlan of New Rockford, DR..
Quarry of Grand Forks, and Attorney
Lowell of Casselton. DR.. McLachlan's
successor, recommended by himself, DR..
Smith of Bismarck has been appointed,
The board has %petitioned the governor
to reappoint DR.. Quarry and Attorney
Lowell, DR.. Quarry being one Of the best
officers the board ever had. In granting
licenses to practice to the different ap.
plicants there was some hitch owing to
the fact that one of the members of the
board was out of the state and the sub.
jeots under his control was unmarked,
licenses were granted.

TAE SLOPE Wool CLIP
Over a Million Pounds OF Wool
Marketed By the Missouri
Slope This Season.
The Wool Brings an Average of
10 Cents, or a Total of Over
100000 to Farmers.
Industry Which Has Grown From
Practically Nothing, Even Under
Discouraging Laws.
North Dakota and Wool.

1t the raising Of wool in North Dakota
increases in the next ten years, as it has
in the past five, the state will be one Of
the most extensive producers in the
nation. For the past week or ten days,
the sale of the clips has been going on
quietly through the western part of the
state, where the great bulk Of the
article is raised. and every town between
jamestown and Dickinson has contribut-
ed to the supply, the first named town
furnishing n of the smallest, and the
latter the largest quantity. Dickinson, has
however, the largest tribu. tary wool
growing country. of any of the other
towns, the hocks from which the supply
is marketed ranging through Stark, Het-
finger, and the unorganized counties.
The great increase in production IN
the past few years has been remarkable,
and the rapidity with which the bust.
ness has builded up from almost moth
ing, is surprising. Where, a few years
ago sheep along the Missouri slope were
the exception rather than the rule, now
the bands of them are numerous, and
large. The impetus was given the sneep
movement under the protective tariff,
and the correspondingly high price for
wool. And while, in the least, countless
of them have been slaughtered, under
the free wool scale of prices, because of
the impossibility of raising them in
thickly settled states, at a fair profit,
here in North Dakota, where range and
water are free, and the expense of caring
for them accordingly small, the business
has continued to grow, aver at the great
ly reduced price of wool.
In Bismarck, a wool market has been
builded up from a practical nothing, to
a sale Of 175,000 to 100000 pounds of
wool the present year. g. E. Wentworth
has been one of the most active and en-
ergetic in the creating of a market here,
and his purchases alone, for wool buy
ing houses, have amounted to about
l25,OOO pounds this year. This comes
from all parts of the country tributary
to the city, in addition to $4,000 to 75,-
600 pounds which have been purchased
here by other buyers. The wool averag
ed about ten cents in price, and the re.
ceipts for the clip will run from $17,5OC
to $4,000.
From the several purchasers who have
bought the clip of the Missouri slope, OF
that which has been marketed at slope
towns, the TRIBUNE has obtained what II
believes to be an accurate estimate Of
the clip from Jamestown to Dickinson
The figures arc furnished by those who
are in position to compute the amount
bought at each station as follows.

Rates for Farm Hands.

AS usual the lines most directly inter
ested in the harvest have offered most
liberal terms to laborers. The Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and 500 line
have agreed to allow a rate of IS to all
points IN Minnesota and North Dakota
as far west as a line running through
Rugby junction, sale of tickets to COM
mence July Is, and continue every. day,
including Sundays, during the harvest.
Circulars announcing rates and condi-
tions are being sent out to all agents in
interest. Never before have the rail
roads offered these terms more gladly
tLan now. for they realize the immensely
OF farmers demand for help to handle
crops. Repors from all parts of the
state show that there will be needed in
the fields between Aberdeen, South Da-
kota and the strip along the Missouri
river, 5000 more men than are available
in that state.

Twelve jurors were examined when court
adjourned last night, but not one took
his seat.
From the examination of jurors in the
Case, it appears that the case has been
pretty we'll read in Cass county. Frank
E. Sargent, one of the jurors examined,
had an opinion and was excused. M. J.
Andrews had an opinion, W. H. Lincoln
was excused peremptorily, Edward
Mike thought Kent guilty, Robert
Bromley was peremptorily excused by
the defense and S. Z. Cormick by the
state. J.. T. Mccormick had a positive
opinion, as did George Pratt. E. P.
Sundberg had a pretty positive opinion,
and R. A. O'Connell thought Kent
guilty.
The securing of jurors is progressing
today.

Another Divorce Case Appealea.

Another Divorce Case Appealed.
Among the appeals docketed in the
Supreme Court Friday morning was one
entitled Lury Ann Louise Sifton VS..
John w. Sifton, being an appeal from
the District Court of Barnes county.
Tois was a divorce action commenced by
the plaintiff in this action against the
brother of the above defendant. The
decree was granted by Judge Rose on
the ground, as the findings of fact state,
g that the defendant treated the plaintiff
in a cruel and inhuman manner; shook
his fist in the plaintiffs face, and in
formed her that he would smash her in a
thousand pieces; repeatedly stated to
her that he wished she was in the
bottom of the sea; called her a liar,
skunk, devil, and the like" The decree
did not award alimony to the plaintiff,
for the reason that the brother of the
defendant had executed a contract
whereby he agreed to give the plaintiff
$500 in four i%nstallments. Failing to
pay the first payment of 5000, the action
was commenced, and from a Judgment
for the amount an appeal is taken. The
case will be heard by the Appellate
Court in October.

Tour of Inspection.

Brig. Gen. Brooke, commander Of the
department of Dakota, is on his first tour
OF inspection. He has gone over the
Great Northern direct to Fort Buford,
wherh he will remain until the 10Th.

instructed in their field and tactical ex-
e%rcises; that the supplies are properly dis
tributed; that care is exercised in the
purchase of public property, and that

Emile Wendlund was brought in from
Fargo on Saturdays train and turn
ed over by Deputy Sheriff Hansen to the
custody of Warden Wilson Of the peni-
Tertiary. Wendlund has been added to
the list Of life conviots at the pen, his
crime having been the murder Of LOUIS
Johnson in Reed township, Cass county,
q little over 9 year ago.. It is said there
was a woman in the case, as usual, and
johnson was found dead from q shot gun
wound, with circumstaotial evidence
pointing sharply to Wendlund as the,
murderer. The trial occurred in the
Cass county district court this spring,
and was quite a long one, the case being
sternly contested upon both the side of
the prosecution and the defense, and the
jury returned a verdict Of guilty. with
sentence of Imprisonment for life, A
motion for a new trial was made, and
argued. and was overrnledb Judge Nc
Cornell last Monday, who sentenced
Wendlund to the penalty imposed by the
jury. Il is said an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court, but in the mean
time, the convicted man will be confined
in the penitentiary.
In stature, Wendlund is rather short
and heavy set, dark complexioned, and
wore q heavy dark m%oustache. He was
shaokled when taken from the train this
morning, and walked submissively be-
tween two deputies to the pen rig, in
which he was driven to his last abiding
place.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer says
attorneys have been comforting for some
days over proposed action to be taken
looking toward the removal Of Receiver
Lyon Of the Milling association, and the
turning Of the property Of the associa-
ito: over to Hugh Thompson, the trustee.
Under the assignment Mr.. Thompson
claims himself to be entitled to the guard
ianship of the property as against the re-
ceiver. It will be remembered that about
the time the Milling association went to
the wall an assignment was made with
w. F. Honey as assignee for North Da-
kota. Mr.. Honey failed to qualify, and
under an amicable agreement arrived at
between the two parties Mr.. Thompson
was made trustee. the receiver being ap-
pointed about the same time. Some of
the stockholders favor the asserting by
the trustee of his claim to the property,
and others Of the stockholders favor the
r%eceivership and will fight for it's con-
tinuance. The application to the federal
court which appointed Receiver Lyon
and the papers to be served in connec-

The wool has averaged ten cents
throughout the whole clip, and the
amount Of money received by the sheep
growers will reach, therefore about S11O,-
600. This it may be reckoned, is almost
a total gain for the Slope, since it has
been raised without any interference
with or lessening Of other industries.
The growing Importance of the Slope
as a wool growing center may be seen
from the fact that more buyers were on
the ground this year than ever. Among
the more active of them have been P. b.
Foulke, who has bought a good share of
the clip for Funston Bros, Of St. Louis;
S. Williams, representing McCulloch
and Tunbech, Of St. Louis; II. r. Fran
cis, for Nichols, Dupree of Boston;

gs The Kent Case.
The case of the State vs.. MyronR r. Kent
came up in Fargo Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock before Judge Mcconnell.
Myron Kent was in court yesterday, and,
to a stranger, it would seem that he was
n of the principal attorneys at the
desk, rather than the man who is charged
with conspiracy to kill his wife. The
Argus says he shows a deep interest in
the case, and takes nearly every word of
it down on q piece Of paper. He does
not look as though he were alarmed as
to the outcome, but at times he shows a
great deal of nervous anticipation. He
is welldressed and his linen is unusually
we'll kept.
When court convened after dinner a
motion was made by Attorney Hildreth
to do away with the information, as he
held that it had not been properly veri-
he'd, and when me requisite was want
ing the whole information should be re-
PEELED. The court overrnled the motion.
