Fargo Forum: The Northern Mu-
tual accident Insurance Co. of Fargo
has gone bump. Tie officers announce
that they have paid the expenses of the
concern and have given their time
without compensation. Their eXper-
ience has been that it is easy to get
policy holders who will pay the agents
and carry the insurance dnring the
time. the company will carry it free but
that at the expiration of three months
In which the company carries new
members free, ~nine-tenths Of the pol
icies are allowed to lapse.
Fargo Forum: They're telling IL
good story on Il Rolla druggist and
good old John Burke, the noted DEM
ocratic cheiftain and state senator over
there. John wrote IL client about
some law case. The client took the
letter to the druggist and he went be-
hind the prescription counter--in Il few
minutes returning with Il good sized
hottie, remarking-"here's your tonic"
The man says-why that's a letter
about some law business, not n pre-.
scription." "Well," says the doctor
Il recognize the handwriting and that's
| what the writer wants, anyhow"
Now comes the question-"what was
it, John" 2
Ransom County Gazette: Mr..
O'Brien, head mason on the courthouse
job, is a returned Klondiker and says
the methods employed by the Transport
tation companies and the coast cities in
trying to keep up the gold excitement
are an outrage on the public. Mr..
| O'Brien went into that inhospitable
region with $500 and failing to find
any gold, by hard work at packing and
| hunting he managed to make q little
money and arrived at Seattle with just
5000 and the papers there announced
in bold-face type that his 'pile" was
| $4,000, which is Il fair sample of the
lying reports of the wealth of returning
Klondikers. When he left Dawson
| City four-tifths of the people there were
| dead broke and there was nothing to
| do to earn money.
Disastrous prairie fires have pre-.

containing several hundred head young
stock while Allison Wells and Il boy
| started with team and wagon for the
ranch two miles away about 8 p. III.
1.-The fire came on at the rate of 20 miles
anfhour and beat them before they had
gotten half way. The ranch buildings,
~" saddle horses, the shepherd dog
and two or three hundred tons of hay
were destroyed. The range was swept
| bare for miles. The loss besides the
range is $500. The men escaped with
! singed moustaches and boards.
