Less Devoted to Wheat.

Minor, N. D., Special.-Stock raising
is becoming scarcely secondary to
wheat raising in this section OF North
Dakota. The wheat acreage will prob
ably be no larger next year than this
from present indications, while nearly
every farmer is increasing his herds as
fast as possible. Buyers are securing
the country for stock for the Eastern
markets, and larger shipments have
been made this fall than ever before.
Senator Tom Marshall Of Cakes made
a shipment of sixteen cars OF cattle
and hogs from Shat place last week
probably the largest single shipment
of stock ever made from this section.
Farmers are d~isposing only Of their
old stock and steers Is a rule, retain
ing the heifers for breeding purposes.
The creamery industry is also receiv'
ing it's share of attention, and five
]crearneries are now in successful ope-
ration in SARGENT county.

of court to draw a jury for the Novem-
Der term of the district court in and

'"There have been about 1000 cancel
laticns of chat,el and other mortgages
filed in my Office already this fall. and
there has not been a chattel mortgage
foreclosure for some time, whereas. i'll
the last few years they came in thick

well for the improved condition of the
farmers, Notwithstanding the disap-

It really seems to be the exception
nowadays to take up a daily paper
without finding the account Of a suicide
of q man or woman by means OF car
bolic acid. The latest case is that OF
a man who poisoned himself at his
wife's grave, and it appears in evidence
that he had pawned his coat to buy
the carbolic acid with which he effect
ed his purpose. Now, carbolic acid is q
virulent poison; q few drops will kill
a dog, and plants expire in a dilute
aqueous solution Of it, and yet it can
be obtained easily and without restric-
ton by any one who desires to obtain
it for legitimate or illegitimate pur-
poses. Even a child may purchase at
q shop without any difficulty for a few
cents as much of this virulent poison
az will kill half a dozen persons. Sure
" the time has arrived when some
thing should be done to restrict the
sale of this acid, the more particularly
when it is considered that by far the
largest number of deaths by poisoning
is caused by its agency, and 1t seems
to be the ~favorite means Of self-de-
struction by women. It is nothing less
than a scandal that this article should
not be included among the scheduled
poisons. If the legislature has decreed
the prussic acid, by which painless
death is produced, shall not be avail
able to the public except under med
ical supervision, then why in the name
Of reason should carbolic acid, which
causes the most frightful suffering, bs
within the reach of all? An alteration
in the existing legislation in this mat
ter is urgently called for.

Judge Foster of Kansas thinks there
is something wrong in the gambling
that enables a man to make several
million dollars a day through an ad-
vance in the price of wheat, especially
as the a does not raise, import. ex-
port, or so much as see the grain that
brings him that great fortune. They
will never cease to have queer ideas in
Kansas, remarks Judge, and at the
same time this millionaire, living Ivy
his wits, is totally non-productive, and
when he drops out of life the world
has lost not a dollar Of any kind Of
value.

The labor leader who says that low
wages comes from the competition OF
women, and that this is why male
workmen cannot afford to marry, is
more or less right; but unfortunately
women have to live somehow, and they
must have money to do it. The diff
Guilty with labor leaders is that they
look at things as they ought to be and
not as they are; but capital as we'll as
labor is subjected to conditions most OF
which are inevitable. For. of course,
the women can't be assassinated; and,
after all, affection rules to some extent,
and there are proportionately more
marriages among the very poor than
the very rich.

Examination Follows the Lines Lnid
DOWN in the Nipple CGs
Pierre, S. D., Special. - The Nipple
examination has dragged through an
other day. Justice Jacobsen decided
to allow Deputy Treasurer Darlington
to testify as to payments made into
the state treasury by Nipple subse-
quent to the time he turned Ove the
office to his successor. He testified as
to the payment, on Jan. p, 1897. OF
the $1,40O and the last payment after
Examiner Taylor's investigation. The
court adjourned with Darlington still
on the stand.
Pierre, s. D., Special - The prelim-
mary examination in the case of j. E.
Nipple was brought to a close by JUS
tice jacobson binding the accused over
to the next term of court. When the
amount Of the bond was to be fixed
States Attorney Estes urged that it be
$4,000. The attorneys for the defense,
however, pleaded the fact that Mr..
Nipple had exhausted his pecuniary
means in raising the money to pay
back to the state and that a large bond
/ would be q hardship upon him. These
arguments seemed to have consider
able weight with the justice. who
fixed the bond at $500. The defense
claim that they did not expect to sue
coed in knocking out the prosecution,
but wished to ascertain the scope of
the prosecution and the evidence avail
able. This is partially borne out by the
fact that they cited few authorities In
support of their contentious and noted
carefully every case the state cited.
From the amount of heat displayed
during the examination and the ap-
pearance Of the parties when Justice
jacobson announced his decision, there
is ground to suspect that there is
more or less disappointment. The
prosecution laugh at the idea that the
defense has gained any material adj
vantage from the preliminary examln-
alton, and claim that the plan OF de-
Tense has been as plainly developed as
the line of attack. While the feeling
of approval over the result is general,
there is an undercurrent of sympathy
with Nipple, for the reason That it Is
believed that he has been more or less
the tool of some one else.
Pierre, s. D., Specialize hearing
of Auditor Mayhem was taken up and
bids fair to be another protracted
struggle. The first fight was over the
question of what section of the statute
the prosecution vas brought, and the
state first refused to obey the ruling of
the court. A motion was then made
to dismiss the defendant. when the
state announced that the complaint
was drawn under section 669S. the
same as in the Nipple case. The x
animation is on the same line as in
the Nipple case.
