DIED..

At her home i'll Garrett, on Wednesday
morning, Mar 22nd, after a short and
severe illness Mrs Eliza ]. Statler, i'll the
Goth year of her age.
Mrs. Statler's maiden name was Cra-
mer. She was born in Pickaway county,
Ohio, Oct. 9th, 1881. She was married
to Joseph Statlcr in March, 1852. Soon
after their marriage they removed to
Mason City, ILL.,, where they resided until
July 1881 They then emigratcd to Kan
sas and located i'll Garrett, and made it
their permanent home. She became
member of the Presbyterian church OF
this city on their arrival here, by letter
from the church at Mason City, ILL.,, where
she had belonged, and during all these
years she has been faithful in her attend
ance upon the church services and the
prayer meetings. She lived CONSTANT
Christian life and was highly esteemed
in the church and in the community.
She was left alone in the world eight
years ago the coming April, by the death
of her husband, she being the last one OF
her family. Her funeral services took
place at the Presbyterian church on
Thursday, March %, at O'Clock p m,
and were conducted by the Rev. James
Stickcl. He spoke from Heb. N:27 %;
"And as it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgement. So
Christ was once offered to bear the sins
of many; and unto them that look for
him shall he appear the second time
without sin unto salvation" y good
attendance of the members of the Pres
bvterian church and of the sister churches
of our city were present on the occasion
to nay their last tribute of respect to the
departed.
Mrs Statlcr was q very quiet, unosten'
tatious Christian woman and possessed
great worth. Her remains were deposit
ed in the Garrett cemetery. Another
warning is thus given. Therefore be yc
also ready, for in such an hour as "
think not the Son of Man cometh
blessed are the dead which die i'll thu
Lord from hence forth, yea saith thu
Spirit, that they may rest from then
labors. and their works do follow them

Some Political StinkerS.

The Republican bosses and fixers OF
Garrett are desperate. They see defeat
staring them in the face, and they are
connecting all the schemes they can think
of the defeat "the other fellows.
The opposition nominated ticket
Ito be found on another page, and called
it the "Silver ticket" The intention was
to call it the Free Silver ticket, but the
word "free" was inadvertently omitted
The omission was noticed by some OF the
Republican fixers, and they proceeded to
avail themselves of the mistake made by
the opposition. They were very sly
about it, too. They waited until it was
too late to get ticket on the ballot by
petition, and then filed a protest against
allowing the Silver ticket on the ballot,
on the ground that there is no Silver
party. Technically, they were right, but
they were told that the omission was
purely an oversight, but they refused to
listen to reason-proposedt to keep this
second ticket off the ticket, which would
insure the election of their ticket. The
opposition didn't intend to be bulldozed,
and they insisted on their rights.
FINAL, the city council met-Monday
highland a committe was appointed to
decide the matter-which committee was
composed of the mayor, the city clerk
and Councilman Herman. The COM
mIttec met at the city hall on Tuesday
The schemers were represented by J. g.
Johnson, and the Silver people were rep
resented by c. T. Richardson, each put
ting up stiff fight.
Mayor Setter insisted on fairness anc
Justice, and said he would rather be de-
feated than to disfranchise any one, but
Kaufman and Herman refused to allow
the Silver ticket to go on the ballot
However, when they learned that they
were liable to run up against decision
from Judge Riggs, they wilted, and con
cluded to accept an affidavit to the efiec'
that the omission OF the WORD Iree
was simply an oversight; to supply tn
omission, and to allow the. ticket on TIN
ballot.
Notwithstanding this forced surrender
the fact remains that these Republican
fixers were anxious to disfranchise a larg
proportion of the citizens of Garnett
We are glad to say, however, that thei
action is not Endorsed by the better Gle
ment of that party, many of whom con
denim the scheme in unmeasurcd terms
Indeed it has driven many to supper
the Silver ticket who would not other
wise have done So AS it now appears
the Silver ticket will be elected.

A Youthful Poet.

Tho following, written by little girl, vi
anded to us the other day:
Once there was big revival,
And many people came
To kneel down at the mOurncrs' bench
And depart from sin and shame.
And so the nights rolled onward.
And one night. which was the last.
Many people were converted,
And tried to forget the past.
Now, about the neighborhood
We're some follls-well, just To say,
They were not exactly righteous.
This or that or any way
And IL hurt them very badly
To SEQ people come to God,
For In the path OF righteousness
They themselves had never trod.
But the folks that were converted
They Just went about To work
To build q church, and not
A single one did shirk.
But others did their utmost
To cause the church to die
But they were not successful,
No matter how they'd try.
And they worked against them.
With all their might and main,
But the others are all right
They arethere yet. just tho same.

SHEEP.

For the past two years there has
been in most parts Of the state an IN
usual demand for them; hundreds have
been engaged in the business; thou
sands Of head have been shipped In;
prices are high; but the demand 10
still u%nsatistied. The fact that the as
SCISSORS returns show sheep to have in
creased in number 43O per cent in two
years, while horses, during the same
period, increased but % per cent and
cattle 50 per cent, affords scme idea Of
the attention given to sheep. 1t is only
during the past two or three years that
the people of the state at large have
begun to realize that North Dakota Is
naturally one of the best sheep states
In the Union, and that the business Is
very profitable and gives quick returns
for investment. 1t must be said, how
ever, that there is some danger Of car
rying the demand to excess-not that
there is any possibility of North Dakota
raising too many sheep or too much
wool-hut rather that the farmers may
grow so eager for sheep that they will
pay too high prices for them, and en-
gage in the business extensively with
out til proper experience or knowledge
to insure seccess. To handle sheep
successfully, like most other lines OF
business requires some special knowl-
edge and training

AN INTERVIEW.
What Judge Lyons has to Say About
the Advantages of Central
North Dakota,

So much interest has been reused in
intending settlers of Central North
Dakota, by the testimony of settlers
there, who have sent letters telling
about how they have done, that Judge
Lyons, being probate judge Of the
highest standing, has consented to be
interviewed about the advantages and
prospects Of that region.
Judge Lyons, how has stock done
in your section this winter?"
1T has thriven very well, indeed,
but not better than it did last winter,
a year ago. Cattle and horses have
been taking care of themselves IN the
range every day this winter, AMI they
did the same a year ago"
Don't you feed stock In the win

"Of an ordinary year very little. 1t
takes care of itself on the prarie.

four, we have more than usual snow,
and when that is the case we feed hay

maybe once in q great while for a
longer time. All our farmers put up

with the prices demanded for wool by
the growers, backed up by the protect
i've tariff, and, moreover, paralyzed by
the shortsighted refusal of the country
at large to recognize the increased val
ues necessarily existing in products
made from higher-priced wool. Never
before in the history Of the United
States have such enormous quantities
of cotton and shoddy been used by
wooden manufacturers as during the
past few years, being driven to this
purse by the impossibility Of getting a
price for a pure wooden article COM
mensurate with the price demanded for
wool. 1t Is easy to see now that the
wool growers Of the country made q
mistake in advancing their prices too
rapidly. as the result was the opposite
Of what was desired, driving manufac.
turers to the use Of other materials.
1t is a positive fact that the bulk Of
the 1898 clip was either sold by the
wool buyer to the manufacturer at 8
loss, or manufactured by the manu-,
facturer at a loss; or, if sent East or
consignment, the loss in value as com
pared with last year, has either beer
accepted and the wool sold, or it is still
stored in the commission mems lofts
seeking a purchaser. There is only ont
inevitable outcome Of such a situation
and that Is the present somewhat de
