Brother, there is nothing that helps a

Wedding BelIs/,

One of the prettiest home weddings
that has occurred in this city was the
one which was solemnized in the cosy
parlors of Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Black

impressive manner, Mr.. Carleton pro-

two lives together to walk through

North Dakota has twenty and a
half million acres Of public land, and
in addition about three million acres
of reservations for Indians. Most Of
the western part of the state still be-
longs to the public domain, but in the
eastern half the amount OF public
lands diminishes rapidly, and in the
James and Red River valleys there is
hardly any left. Government re-
ports say that in the western part Of
the state where irrigation is most
needed there are only limited areas
where water can be easily secured.
The Missouri river is SO far below
the surface of the arabic land and has
so slight fall that its waters can be
diverted only with difficulty and at
great expense. 1t is recommended
that storage reservoirs be built
along some of the Missouri's tribu-
taries flowing from the north, and
this may be done at some future day.
East of the Missouri the main de.
pendence is upon artesian wells,
which in North Dakota promises to
be OF immense benefit to agriculture.
1t is said that in time much of the
public land along the Missouri south
of Bismarck will be watered in this
way.

The president is bound to come in
for criticism in connection with the
Philippine situation, no matter what
he does. If he sends lot more
volunteers the opposition will leer
81 told you so." The difficulties Of
conquering wild country swarming
with bush fighters will be enlarged
upon, and the folly of undertaking the
task will be thoroughly exploited.
For the benefit Of the coming cam
paign all the changes will be rung on
this tune. On the other hand, if he
does not send more men he will be
charged with indecision and weakness.
Nothing but a prompt and successful
termination of the campaign can
avoid this alternative. The Balti-
more Sun has opened up already.
Among other things it says: "The
president knows he has taken job
upon himself which cannot be exc
cuted with the present means at his
command. He knows what every
military authority the world over
knows. His indecision is hourly
making the matter worse. A week
or two since he and his advisers rea-
ized that more troops must be
called. Then haste was made to
disavow the purpose for fear of
political inexediency. But he has
got himself into position where he
cannot much longer evade the re-
sponsibilitv. No enc can pretend to
question that the army in the Philip
pines is not strong enough to hold
the territory it takes. II drives out
the Filipinos for the moment and
then retreats upon its intrenchments.
This Sort of business can never
conquer, never pacify the Filipinos,
ETC."

What a MIL Does.
Ennis Evening News.

Ennis Evening news.
There is an idea in the minds
of the people that when cotton
sells in a local market at given
price, that it brings that price
everywhere. Such is not the
case. OF course cotton intended
for shipment to distant mills must
sell for a uniform price, for the
limit is fixed by those distant
mills and the long distance freight
rates are figured in fixing the
prices to be paid the farmers. In
this case the price must be nearly
the same at all markets. But
the difference comes in the mat
ter Of home consumers. If the
cotton is to be used at home
instead Of 10 Europe the difference
in freight charges fall to the
farmer.
About the first week in this
mouth, when cotton was selling
in Texas markets at 6 3-4 cents a
pound, 1t sold in Gadsden,
Alabama at 7 81, cents pound.
There are cotton mills at Gadsden,
and il is that industry which has
built a thrifty city there on an
unimportant line of road.

the mercy of the cold charities of the

full for the forethought.- Litchfield
