Prosperity Returning.

Charles Colgrove, Il large sheep

the past month picking up a few bands
here and there. Since McKinley's %
election he has raisel his offers on
sheep and is now paying 81 a head for
ewes, the same having been sold three
weeks ago for Sl.25 and $3.50. This
is one OF the many signs of the return

the sheep TO-. less than $2.75. Mr..

cattle had strengthened since election.

Tea Frosn Alfalfa.

Come to think of it, it is very
strange that no one mentioned this
new use OF alfalfa until Mayor Du-
Bois, of Denver. made the discovery
that it was a splendid substitute,
picked and cured for the best Japan
teas.
The advocates of alfalfa tea claim
that It's CONT inuous use proves q great
benefit to the human system, as it
serves as q sort of tonic and corrective.
and will keep one in state of splen-

1t seems rather peculiar to
North Dakotans to see butter and
eggs shipped into the state in
stead of shipping out of the state,
but such is the present condition
of affairs. In years gone by the
local markets all over this state
were flooded with eggs and but
ter, today eggs are as scarce as
hens teeth and are selling at &c
apiece. while first-class dairy
butter is scarce and is gobbled
up as soon as it is taken in by
our store keepers. It seems to
US that our farmers. with good
management, ought to be able to
supply the home market with
butter and eggs, so that it would
not be necessary to go to outside
states for these articles of food.

The Latest Fad.

One of the very latest fads is the
"honor" party. The invitations are
issued in the usual form, a line in the
left lower corner requesting the guest
to bring his or her own especial
honor. After all have arrived-the
honors, neatly wrapped in tissue
paper, are exchanged.
At the original party, the honors
were varied and humorous; one was
pair of tight dancing shoes; another, q
cheap bottle of perfume. Some one
brought cabbage. and one gilded
youth brought huge black cat,
securely fastened, not in bag, but
in basket. The honors were then
used as favors for an impromptu
German. The party ended with a de-
licious claGng-dish lulc;leon, wherein
creamed oysters and Welch rare BIT
figure conspicuously.
Upon thei;. departure, the guests de-
clared that for. fun and hilarity the

Representatives McGinnis has
gone about it in a practical way
and proposes u constitutional
amendment wiping out the rail
road commissioners entirely.
There ought to be /. tax commits
sioner in this state. If the rail
roads find it profitable to pay
large salaries to tax commission
ers to see that assessment OF
their property is kept down to q
low notch it will certainly pay
the commonwealth of North Da-
kota to pay some one to see that
the state doesn't get the worst Of
it. The board of railroad COM
missioners might be abolished
and the land commissioners made
a department and one thorough
practical individual chosen to be
known as railroad, tax and land
commissioner. Such a depart
ment with three or four, thor
oughly competent clerks could
take the place of commissioner
of agriculture and labor, of COM
missioner Of irrigation and
forestry, of land commissioner
and of the commissioner of. rail
roads, and the state would not
only save thousands of dollars in
expense, but would receive thou
sands of dollars of revenue
where hundreds come now. Of
course it will take time to ac-
complish this happy result-the
constitution will have to be
amended, and that will take three
years and a vote of the people.
If an amendment is properly
framed effecting these consolida-
tions there is no doubt of it's

Treating His Wife.
Knocked a Tooth Out Because
She Would Not Obey"
HIM.
Legal Separation Granted by
Judge Glaspell Discloses
Much Cruelty.
jamestown Alert:

jamestown Alert:
A degree OF absolute divorce was to-
day granted by Judge Glaspell to
julia solberg from her husband, Ole,
OF Dazey, Griggs county. Not only
does she get the legal separation de-
sired. $50 attorneys fees and the Gus
tody of the children, Henry oain,
and Mabel Luella, age nine and i've
respectively. but also alimony. He is
required to pay her 800 per annum
for four years.
According to the testimony intro
duced she was eminently entitled to
separation. They were married in
Valley City May %. 1854 since which
time Solberg treated his wife in
cruel and inhuman manner During
June, five years later. while the wife
was sick with lung fever DR.. Juell. Of
Dazey, her attending physician, pre-.
scribed eggs aud milk. Solberg then
owned ''moe than twenty laying hens
which laid more than ten eggs . day.
but he, with malice and aforethought,
gathered the eggs and hid them.
THAT thereon, on account OF the act
OF the defendant in this regard Sol
berg was hung by his neighbors with
q rope sufficient to end his existence,
ii he had been left to himself" Bat
on his promise to treat.his wife with
kindnessand considerationforh her we'll
being the indignant neighbors let him
down from the post in front of lis
house where they had him strang up.
She was in constant fear of her life
on account Of the cruel and inhulnan
treatment which he inflicted upon her
and many times was compelled to run
to the neighbors for protection from
her drunken lord and master upon his
return from Dazey we'll filled up with
whislley.
In her testimony the wife also stated
that uponbne occasion she. had been
helping Ole in the harvest field. They
were cleaning up some oats and as it
was late in the day she said she would
go to the house and prepare supper.
He wanted her to stay and assist in
the work and when she replied that
she could not help him and get the
evening meal at the same time hes
struck her in the mouth with u ham
mer and broke off q tooth. This little
incident OF wifely affection happened
eight years ago. She found life with
her husband unbearable and spent a
short time in Wisconsin. While ab--
sent it is said he secured q divorce
April I, 1S04-claiming she was in
Minnesota and he was unable to
secure service of the papers upon her.
However. upon her return this fraudu-
lent divorce was ordered set aside at
a cost to her of S275 and then she took
an innings. She not only asked for q
legal separation, ETC., .,-everything
that was granted her-but the quarter
section of land where she lived with
Ole for SO many years. The court
did not grant this, but gave her
alimony instead. She now has the
care of her children and works out for
her living.
A number Of letters written in Nor
wegian, also a bill of sale of all of
Ol;'s property, given to his wife to
protect himself upon certain occa-
sion, was among the exhibits that
accompanied the testimony.
