Sues for Damages.

A. G. Whitney of st. Cloud, of the
firm of Whitney & Wheelock of Fargo
has begun an action in the United
States district court of this state against
Richard Sykes of Sykeston, N. D. The
suit is brought to recover damages in
the very modest sun of 100000 for al
legged breach of contract.
According to the complaint of the de-
PENDANT he bought a tract of land con-
tanning 53,340 acres in Wells, Foster, La
Moure and Stutsman counties, some
three months ago, for which he was to
pay 100000. He claims the profit on
the deal would have amounted to $780,
600 habit been carried out. He claims
that Sykes backed out.
Mr.. Sykes claims that he did agree
to sell the land in question to the gentle.
man mentioned, subject to farm contract
sales covering about $4,000 worth of the
land, which were to be held by him. Mr..
Whitney was to pay him $4,000 cash
when the contract between them was
contaminated. A demand was made BY
the plaintiff for the $4,000 worth Of

r1ARRIED AGAIN.
S. /. Osrnond of the Fargo Forum Mar
ried Twice to His Present Wife.

S. |. Osmond, the travelling solicitor OF
the Fargo Forum, has had another mari
tai experience. He was divorced in this
district, married again, and the divorce
set aside, and the matter was afterward
adjusted. The CincinnatiPos furnishes
another chapter as follows:
Judge Shine of Covington had an in
teresting experience Thursday in his
court. y couple giving their names as
Samuel I. Csmond, SO, of Fargo, y. D.,
and Emma Eagle, 46, of Warren county,
called on him for the purpose of getting
married. Judge Brown remembered the
couple as the parties he had married
some months ago.
Mr.. Osmond and his bride acknowl-
edged that the Judge was right and that
he married them in December, 1893.
They explained matters by stating that
Mrs. Osmond had secured IL divorce
from her first husband nine days pre-
vious to the first marriage with Csmond,
and she was under the impression that it
was not legal.
Judge Shine remarked the couple and
they went away greatly satisfied.

FINE ROUTE.
The Route ofthe New Railroad Through
the County an Excellent
One.

A drive along the grade of the Bis
marck. Washburn & Fort Buford rail-
way will convince anyone that the new
road has selected a route to the metrop-
oils of the northern Missouri slope that
would he hard to beat. The grade be-
gins north and east Of the pe%nitentiary.
and is completed to- abut the wagon
road adjoining the fence about the
QuinlAn farm. From here it is con-
tinued northward and veering Il little
to the west through the valley and
along the Hay creek bottoms. The
first grading camp is located a few
hundred yards up from rle entrance
to the valley and from here there are
four parties OF graders camped along
the creek. as far north as the Breen
place. The grade has been completed
FOR a distance of several miles. with
the exception of the culverts ut sew
eral places where the creek is crossed,
II in two or three places the course
or the creek is changed slightly. wide
bends being cut out and the course of
the stream made more direct. Bridge
tlmbel'S are on the ground for the
building of the %culverts. The grade of
the road as far as completed is smooth
and hard. and when the ties ana rails
arc laid. the road will he hard TO beat.
The several crews of graders are
Workin" owar1 each other ana there is
only a little distance between the COM
plcted work of the first crew and tl,at
of the next. The route follows along
the creek to the west and north. escap-
ing heavy grades or deep cuts. Tie
grade of the road northwavd is | per
cent. or Il rise of Il little over fifty feet
to the mile. It passes the Brecn place
on the west. and the earth that has
been thrown up by the graders can be
seen from there.
The route of the road is through one
OF the prettieSt parts of thc county,
and past some of the best farming
country. There are some fields Of
grain all along the line as far as Rrepn's
that are hard to beat. The grain is
tall. the heads heavy and film" well,
and the yield promises TO beat tho
record.
The distance by the road to the Me-
Lean county line is about 2G miles. so
it will be seen that no wide detours are
necessary to make the gradual ascent.
Names of several of the stations have
already been selected.

How to Buy Musical Instruments.

A musical instrument is no longer an
Expensive" luxury-unless a mistake is
made, or bad Judgment is exercised, in
the selection and purchase. How eau
tious some persons are when buying a
horse, or wagon or machine; the most
critical examination is made and the
purchaser is fairly we'll equipped to Judge
in~telligently of the merits. Not so with
a musical Instrument. Few men are
qualified to select a piano or an organ
know very little about the intricate
mechanism Of a perfect instrument-and
few ladies look further than the action,
the tone and the case. In the purchase
of an instrument it follows, therefore,
that one must accept the Judgment of
some one else. 1t is strange, indeed,
that so many will accept the advice of
strangers and entirely overlook response
bic dealers-agents who can and will
undersell travelling agents no matter
what make of piano Or organ is wanted.
Take G. H. Phelps of Bismarck for in
stance. He has sold musical instruments
in this city for years. His guarantee is
good. The instruments he has sold are
now in use and can be seer by intending
purchasers. While he is the special
agent of the celebrated Boothe piano
made by the well known Gibson Piano
Manufacturing company-probably the
finest instrument for the least money of
any made-still his relation with other
manufacturers is such that he can un-
dersell all travelling agents. For the
travelling agents expenses have to be
added to the cost of the instrument,
while Mr.. Phelps gets the instrument
direct from the factory-no middle mans
or agents expenses ~whatever-and he
gives his customer the advantage of this
saving. And as for terms he makes
them to suit purchasers-cash, time,
monthly or weekly payments-and with
every instrument a complete and strict
guaranty. In the purchase of a musical
instrument mi cannot obtain too much
information and many years of expert
ence qualities Mr.. Phelps to give valu-
able ppinters-and he'll give 'em freely
to all who call at his establishment,
Fourth street, First National Bank
block.
Mr.. Phelps has in stock the Boothe
pianos and the Needham organs, ac-
knowledged to be the peer Of any makes
in the market and he can also give COM
plete information about all other makes.

mend itself to the officials of the British

ment eight years ago might be hopefully
renewed.
