Ing to sell to the other side and thus
give them the control of a majority Of
the stock. Gage sued to recover. and

Fashion, Echoes.

The rage for chiffon for accessories.
and for waists, sleeves and entire
gowns, is as great as ever.
The newest stock collars Of plain
satin or fancy plaid or chameleon rib
bon have q large butterfly bow at the
back.
OF all the gay and brilliant fancies
of the autumn, nothing eclipses the
petticoat of gorgeously plaided taffe-
tn or surah silk.
Very handsome changeablc crepons
are used for dinner and evening
dresses. A stylish model in green,
fawn-color and old-rose is made up
with accessories of spangled green
velvet and rich ecru lace.
Scotch plaided velvets in various
clan patterns are used this season by
fashionable milliners on hats for
youthful wearers, and slight accesso-
ries of gay striped or chameleon vel
vet are employed for hats and bon
nets Of block or moss-green velvet for
women OF nearly every age.
The latest jackets are made slightly
longer than they have been shaped
thus far this season, and they fit
smoothly over the front and hips,
with no cripple in the back, but only
a graceful fullness-just enough to al
low the coat skirt to fall easily over
the dress skirt. Simple styles are fast
ened across the front with a double
row of buttons. Others have braid
ed vest and revers, or shawl-shaped
collar of mink, skunk or other fur.
The sleeves are moderately full and
fit closely below the elbow.

A Grand Forks special to tile Pioneer

A Grand Forks special to tile Pioneer
Press says:
The average North Dakota farmer
is wishing at the present time that the
big crop of 1895 had not been quite so
large and the price somewhat better.
The reason for this is that the differ
encc between the cost of production
and the amount per bushel which he
realizes from his product leaves him
with not a large amount of money In
pocket. He is, in fact, not in as good
condition financially this fall as he
would have been had there been an
ordinary crop and the price better.
Yet he is not grumbling over that con-
dition of affairs. He counts himself
we'll able to pay his debts. and he
would accomplish it very quickly were
he able to market his wheat or ship
1t as he desires.
The threshers' returns during the
last month, which has seen the close
Of those operations, show that the
yield kept up it's enormous average, as
it started in with. There is wheat in
large quantities in every township in
the northern part Of the state. There
is, indeed, so much Of it that the best
railroad in the country with the very
best equipment at hand. can not and
could not possibly begin to pull the
grain out anywhere near as rapidly as
the people would like to see it go.
There appears to he no question in
the minds of those who are thoroughly
in touch with the situation that the
Great Northern company is doing all
it can with it's present equipment of
rolling stock to alleviate the distress
which is paralyzing business at some
points along it's line, and. especially on
some Of the, branch lines in this state
There is so much wheat waiting to be
transferred to the terminals that q
railroad with an average equipment
would be kept busy, and very busy,
until this time next year in getting the
major portion of it out. Elevators are
full; so is everything that can be used
for storing grain. There is wheat in
grain houses erected in the fields;
wheat in piles on the ground trusting
to kind providence to winter it through.
Every farmer. every merchant, every
elevator has wheat, and all are raising
terrible din for more cars. AS stated
before, the worst distress is on branch
lines, where the train service is more
infrequent The railroad commission
els are inspecting the Great Northern
branches this week. and have Just COM
pleted their trip over the Bottineau
branch. The distress there has reached
the climax. but Supt. Harding expects
to be able to relieve it soon by giving
the branch the use of some small cars
which have heen used in Montana
since harvest began. At many points
in the valley there is a three days
interim between the time that cars arc
supplied, and at Crystal the business
men are urging even the fair grounds
in erecting bins for storing ROOM
North Dakota holds enough wheat
within its limits to feed the nation.

PrOclama ton.
Gov. Allin has issued his annual
Thanksgiving proclamation, setting
aside day for returning thanks. 1t
reads as follows:
Grateful for having found a refuge,
and thankful over even a meager har-
gest, the Puritan set apart days as
sacred to him who gave them refuge
and sustenance in far off land. In
reverential acknowledgment of de-
pendence upon divine providence, re-
spect for that ancient custom of our
forefathers, and in conformity with q
proclama ton by the president of the
United States. !. Roger Allin. do here
by recommend that Thursday, the 2Sth
day of November. 1895. be set apart
and observed as day Of thanksgiving
and praise. Foregoing our usual voca-
lions. let us assemble in our places Of
worship or around our sacred altar CIV
ing thanks for life and health a..
friends; for bounteous harvests, indi-
vidual and national prosperity. If
there be those in our midst who are
distressed, may the. remembrance Of
and thankfulness for the. comforts
which have vouchsafed us, prompt us
to a kindly thoughtfulness for the poor
and stimulate US to deeds of charity
and bencyOlence.

squatters Must Get Out.

Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. 13.-Two
weeks ago Indian Agent Treton, of
Crow Creek and Lower Brule
agencies, notified five or six illegal
settlers on the Indian allotment be-
longing to Rob Tail Crow, to vacate.
The squatters requested that they be
permitted to remain on the land until
spring. Their request might have
been granted. but it is now learned
that since being notified to leave one
of the squatters has cut great deal
OF timber and constructed a dwelling
house on the land, and it is probable
that as result of this action all OF
the squatters will be compelled to va.
cate the land within the next two
weeks.

learnedly discuss "'rhe Potato as Il
Daily Diet" in Ladies' Home. Jour-
nal, and pretty conclusively prove
that the humble and popular tuber is
not a healthful article OF food. Mr..
Speed asserts that the potato, as a
food. is not nearly so valuable as we
have very generally esteemed 1t to be.
1t is quite deficient in nitrogen. and
as sole diet is, therefore, unsuitable.
1t is hard to digest. and should, there
fore, be partakcn of very sparingly by

vOkcs our great national :lilment, dys-

tion of the mealy tubers begins the
sooner will the dread fangs Of tile dys-

DR.. Edison, in "A rcjoinder to Mr.

with Mr.. Speed in his condemnation
of the potato. am sorry to have to
say anything against the humble tub
Ell, but the truth. especially when it is

make their lives burden to them
selves and those who arc brought in
contact with them" DR.. Edison also
contends that the potato is very def
cient in nutritivc qualities, and has
less value as an article of food than
most vegetables and cereals.
Airs. Rorer writes: 81 am not a po-
tato lrohibitionist, but firmly be-
licye that potatoes should be served
