introduction Of the European draft
horse took place with US. Our farmers

Illinois and other portions of the coun.

They bought horses, went over to
France, England, Germany, and got

into horse breeding ranches, and In

the resignation was received and accepted
of Colonel William H. Farley as Steward
of the State Hospital near this city. TIE
resignation takes effect on December /.
So far no one has been appointed to fill
the vacancy which will thus be made

tirely unsolicited on the part Of the man
ayers, and hat It was rendered volun-
tarily by the Colonel Mr.. Vroom spoke
in praise of the economical management
of the State Hospital under the super
vision of Colonel Farley. The reports,
he said, showed that the proportionate
expense of running 1t was considerably
less than at the Morris Plains Asylum.
In discussing the resignation, Mr.. Vroom
said that for five or six months past the
Board had realized that there was more
or less Dissatisfaction on account of so
many of the chief offices at the State
Hospital being held by Democrats, and
had felt tina some change would have
to be made sooner or later in order to
make the positions more evenly divided
among the political parties.
The rumor has gained currency in some
quarters that Colonel Earley's resignation
was owing to personal differences be-
tween the Medical Director, DR.. John W.
Ward and Colonel Farley. This. Mr..
Vroom said, had nothing to do with the
resignation so far as he knew. He said,
however, that there might lave been

ford, the well known cooking Iecturess,
win give a lecture on .How to cook a
breakfast for four persons on 50 cents"
During the week she win tell how to
cook dinner and supper accordingly. Mrs.

she does not combine her talk entirely to
the cooking. but tells about the country
in which the food grow and the natives
nearly all upon cereals, and upon Africans
and people Of countries that live chiefly
upon that class of food.
Not only does a person get the value of

to prove that the Fifty-seventh Congress
is due In 1897.
He should take time to consult the office
boy before attempting to impart informa-
ton to a trusting public.

error. II was one of those things that will
happen. We are glad TO be set right,

We are also pleased to have the Fargo

his information. The fact that he con-
suits the Office boy before penning his
remarkable editorials fully accounts for
their p-eculiarities.
