GLADSTONE NOTES.

Messrs Campbell and ssell
came today on train No. to view
the two pieces of grain sown on the
farms of Sam Brand and 8. d. Gregg
according to the Campbell method of
soil culture. Mr.. Campbell stated to
the writer that the present drought
was likely to furnish the best proof
possible Of the superiority of his
method, as all crops sown and treated
after the old method must of necessi-
ty suffer greatly. while he had no
fears but the grain sown according
to his plan would be all right. Mr.
Gregg during conversation gayx
the status of two fields on his farm
regarding the amount of moisture III
the ground. The old method of cpl-
tivation showed no cohesion in the
soil from moisture although he dug
down even deeper than the soil had
been cultivated while the soil in the
field treated according TO the Camp
bell method showed moisture enough
to ball the soil under pressure in the
hand after digging ~ inches through
dry top or dust blanket and the deep.
er he went into the ground the more
moisture he found in the soil. A
committee of 3 will on Wednesday,
June q, view the above fields of
grain and report to the Farmers In.
stitute at their next meeting.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, re.
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter.

Railroad Tax Matter.

The special state tax commission
TO adjust and settle if possible the
delinquent land taxes of the Northern
Pacific railroad completed its confer
ence June IL with the representatives
of the road and a formal proposition
was made to Tax Commissioner Fer.
nald and Land Commissioner Phipps
for the settlement of the taxes.
The commission agreed to waive all
claims for unpaid taxes prior to the
year 1889. In settlement of the tax
for the year 1889 the commission
agreed to accept one.half the face of
the tax without interest and penalty.
For the unpaid taxes for the years
1890. 1891, 1892, 1893 and '94 the CON-
nilsson agreed to accept one-half the
face of the tax, penalty and interest.
For the year 1895 the commission
agreed to accept the face of the tax
without penalty and interest.
Before making this proposition to
the road. the members of the COM
mission discussed the tax matter for
two days with the representatives of
the road. The disputed taxes on
lands that had not been patented and
were within the indemnity strip, the
commission agreed to waive. The
final proposition submitted was he.
lieved by the board to he far, and to
bs as far IN the way of compromise
as the state would go.
The representatives of the road on
the other hand submitted u PROPOSE
tion of what they believed the road
would be willing to pay in settle
ment of these taxes. In the counties
of Logan, Emlnons, Kidder and Stuts-
man, they would pay 25 per cent Of
the face of the tax as levied for the
different years without any penalty
or interest. In the counties of Bur-
leigh, Mclean, Mercer, Morton, Oil.
yer and Wells, 30 per cent, and in
the counties of Barnes, Billings,
Dickey, Foster, Griggs, LaMoure,
Ransom, Sargent, Stark, Steele, Eddy
and Mcintosh, 40 per cent of the face
of the tax> This proposition is to
pay about one.half the amount, or 4
little less, which the state agreed to
accept. The representatives of the
road who were present disclaimed
any authority to settle the taxes, but
stated that they could recommend a
settlement, and it is believed the
recommendation would be acted on
by the company. They intimated
however that they would not recon.
mend the payment of the amounts as
set forth in the proposition of the
members Of the commission and the
state on the other hand will not ac-
cept the proposition made by the rep
resentatives of the company. Thus
the matter stands and there is no set
Element of the disputed taxes in sight
as yet. The matter will probably
have to be taken into the courts.

A BISMARCK correspondent has
fixed up a story for Chicago pa
per telling of a marriage soon to
occur between Picture Eyes, a
Sioux Indian girl, and a promi-
nent foreigner, Thomas Dulaine
Cronan, who is cited as having
resided for a short time in Me-
dora during the days of Marquis
de Mores frontierism. Eastern
papers have been sending tele-
grams thick and fast asking the
capital city correspondent for
photographs of Picture Eyes.
Possibly the Chicago paper will
discover that it was imposed upon
by a Bismarck penny-a-liner.

SAYS the Fargo Forum, the fact
that the protection sentiment is
gaining strength every year in
the several parties in the senate
is the one cause of the success
which the republican leaders have
had in pushing the tariff bill
rapidly. There is reason now to
believe that the tariff bill will pass
the senate before the end of the
month, and President McKlnley's
ambition to attach his signature
on the Fourth of July may be
realized.
