Bismarck, n. D.-StOckmcn are juDl-
liant at the prospect Of an open winter.
and the losses of last winter promise
to be recuperated by the gains of this
season. Dugald Campbell, president
of the State Wool Growers associa-
ton and owner of about 10000 sheep,
states that at his home ranch so far
this winter there has been no necessity
for feeding sheep, they having been
able to find plenty Of sustenance on
the ranges. Last year Campbell had
fed hundreds Of tons of hay before
the winter was half-through. Other
stocllmen report the same experience,
and there will be surplus of feed re-
manning in the hands Of cattlemen and
sheep owners next spring. Reports
from the ranges in the western portion
of the state are that the ground is
clear Of SNOW and stock is able to lind
plenty of feed. The range this fall was
graZed down close. and had there
been severe winter thousands OF cat
tie would have persisted from starva-
ton. Under the present conditions the
cattlemen hope to pull through With
out any heavy losses.

The Thrae-volumed Novel,

Some time ago the burning question
among publishers in London was as to
the three-volume novel: Should it con-
tinue to exist, or should it be extin-
guished to make room for the one
volume book at quarter of the price?
That question having been fairly set
tied against the three-volume form,
now comes new one, concerning cut
or uncut pages for books. The people
who write against the uncut form are
usually busy newspaper men, who
have no time to WELD the paper knife
One of these says: From the stand
point of political economy the present
oldfashioned system is utterly wrong
and particularly SO in novels, which
are meant to be read by busy people
and not treasured by bibliomaniacs.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Heinemann
published novel, of which over 1OO,-
900 copies are now in circulation. The
book was sent out with it's leaves un-
cut. 1t takes at least quarter of an
hour for each new reader to cut those
leaves. This means that no fewer than
$4,000 precious hours of the public
time have necessarily been occupied
in the profitless work Of cutting the
pages Of that one book alone. The
bookbinder's guillotine would do the
work in fiftieth part Of that time.
And the bookbinder is earning his liv-

Huron, S. D.-The annual report Of
State Treasurer Kirk G. Phillips for
the year ended June 80 last has just
been transmitted to the governor.
figures are given showing that the
financial condition Of the state is fast
improving and the public indebtedness
is fast decreasing. In his letter Of
transmittal Mr.. Phillips says that at
the beginning of the year, July 1, 1896,
the state had outstanding and unpaid
revenue or funding warrants amount
ing to $25O,0OO, which constituted the
entire floating indebtedness of the
state. At the end of the fiscal year
the state had outstanding unpaid war
rants amounting to $4,000, constitut-
ing the entire floating Indebtedness Of
the state. Besides this the expenses
Of the legislature for 1897 have been
paid. On the 9th of March last the
issue of revenue or funding warrants
was made to the amount of $4,000 to
meet the current expenses of the state.
These warrants will be due on Jan. l,
1895. and will be paid at that time.
Mr.. Phillips is of the opinion that in 4
short time the financial condition OF
the state will be such that no more
temporary loans will be necessary.

WILL NOT STAY OUT,
DR.. Eggers Declines to Be Excluded
From Grand Forks Hospital.

LIZ NSScES Dec11hc1 10 be Excluded
From Grand Forks Hospital.
Grand Forks, N. D.-There is war
among the doctors in Grand Forks
caused by the action of Ilr. Ensstad,
president Of the board of directors of
st. Luke's hospital, in endeavoring to
exclude DR.. Eggers, another physician,
from treating hospital patients. The
hospital was established several years
ago, and has accepted patients Of all
classes, many patients who were being
cared for by the county being among
tie number. A few weeks ago a staff
of physicians was appointed for the
hospital, and it was announced that
only those physicians would be per-
mitted to treat patients at the hospital
DIR. Eggers was not one of the ply
sicians selected and he considered the
plan a deliberate attempt to cut Oft a
portion of his practice. He stated that
he would send his patients to St.
Luke's hospital and treat them there
or know the reason why. He has now
begun proceedings to secure an in
junction restraining DR.. Engstad or
any of the hospital board from inter-
fering with any patients whom he
may see fit to send to the hospital. The
case is of especial interest to the pub
lie from the fact that last year. in a
case brought before Judge Templeton,
the hospital was declared to be ex,
empt from the payment Of taxes on
the ground that it was charitable in
stitution, non-sectarian in character,
and open for the reception Of the pa
tients Of any physician who chose to
bring them there. DR.. Eggers claims
that this condition of things is not con-
sistent with the exclusion of any ply
sician from hospital practice. The
matter will be decided by Judge Fisk.

HIGHwAYMEN AT WORK.
Bold Attempt to Clean Ont the ii
OF AP1uefylle. n

3 Y (. w I. i.5,
Fargo, N. Done of the bolaS&
robberies in the history of the Red
river valley occurred at Argusville.
About 0 o'clock in the evening two
masked men entered the store and
postoftice of F. d. Payne and com
manded Mr.. Payne and c. HI. Dill,
q travelling man from Fargo. to hold
up their hands. Payne took the mat
ter as Joke at first and laughed
when Dill raised his hands above his
head, but the click of reyolvers and
the oaths of the robbers soon dispelled
all doubt
Both men were searched. and Il gold
watch and forty dollars We're taken
from Dill. Payne was forced to give
up the key to his cash drawer and
that to the postotfice, both of which
were rified. Here the men got an
other watch and 500.
The Payne store is the third door
from the railroad. One door south is
the general store of NJ. Il. Clancy.
The next move of the men was to
march the two victims into the street
and to the Clancy store. At the ap-
pearance Of the men Clancy, too,
thought that the whole thing was a
joke. In the store, beside the proprie.
tor, was NJ. H. Hudell, school teach
er. The four men were placed in line.
A watch and sixty dollars were taken
from Clancy and fifteen dollars from
the school teacher. The four men
were then faced to the wall, and with
a threat Of instant death were COM
manded not to move. The two rob
bers then disappeared in the dark
ness.
The robbers were in the first store
some fifteen minutes and about the
same length Of time in Clancys. 1t
was the evident intention to 20
through the town, starting at the de-
pot and going down the whole street,
but as the Great Northern agent was
absent at the time, that much of the
plan was miscarried. The robbers
were so well masked that no descrip-
ton could be had.
The men who held up the two stores
are still at liberty, though thorough
search has been made. There seems
little probability of securing them
from the meager description their vic
Tins could give, and the United States
officials may take hand in the affair,
as part of the money taken from
Payne belonged to the postottice.

COULDN'T KEEP AWAY.
Brookings CouIle, Once Divorced,
Remated Mt Huron.


Huron, S. D. - James Christy Of
Volga and Mrs. Elsie ChNsty of HUI
ron were married. The event demon
strates that South Dakota divorce is
not always a success. Less than two
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Christy were
living on a farm in Bookings county,
which they had acquired by hard la
Dor, and were happy and contented
citizens. They decided to move to 4
city. The farm was rented and they
moved to Volga. The hustle and
hustle of the Sioux river metropolis
did not prove congenial, and disagree
ments arose. Lawyers were called i'll
and divorce was secured. The eX-
wife came to Huron to reside. Over
lures for reconciliation were made,
and resulted in the remarriage. The
couple will remove to their Brookings
county farm in a few days with tho
firm intention of remaining there the
balance of their allotted time on earth.
They have each registered a solemn
VOW that never more will they aban-
don a peaceful abode in the rural dis
tr;cts for the deceptive pleasures OF Il
life in q great city-like Volga.
