A klondike Right Here

L. K. Gage of Clear Lake township,
this county was in the city today dis
posing Of a quantity of the grain which
he raised this past season. Mr. Gage
has been resident of this county for
the past twenty years and he informed
this writer that during that time he
has not had but two years that he has
farmed at loss. This year for instance
when many Of the calamity howlers
were standing around the corners and
crying "poor crops" "hard times" etc.
etc. Mr.. Gates was at work extracting
wealth from the soil of this county,
and as result he has just completed
the marketing of some thing over s 10,
900 worth Of crops all raised by him
this season. Mr.Gates owns four farms
outright, but these did not provide
enough land for his satisfaction and
he leased several acres more.
AS an illustration of his thrift we
will refer to one instance. He broke
100 acres of land for which he was
paid an even 5000, and the privilege of
the first crop. He seeded the breaking
to fax and sold the crop from this 100
for 81 900. The $500 which he received
for the breaking paid for the labor in
breaking, seeding, and harvesting, he
having his own horses, and he had to
pay out of the 81 900 was for seed and
threshing.
Mr.. Gage as stated above, sold the
last Of his grain yesterday, and on bal.
ancing his accounts said that he clear.
eda trifle over $4,000 fol- the season just
passed Talk about your Klondyke, "
remarked Mr.. Gage, 81 can find the
the best sort of aKlondike right here
in South Dakota"
While in the city today Mr. Gage,
opened negotiations with several city
farmers who own land in the country
for the breaking Of large pieces OF
ground next season on the same con.
ditions. During the past season Mr.
Gage worked between thirty and forty
horses, ST. Argus Leader.

In Menoriam.

When Capt. v. w. Norton went to
Tacoma he of course visited the G. A.
r.. Post and on being introduced to
the members, shook hands with David
Dowden. The two at once recognized
each other as being comrades In the
18th regiment, Wis. VOL, and as they
had not met since their discharge it 10
needless to say they had cordial time.
Mr.. Dcwden was member of Co. B
and Captain Norton member Of Co.
ID. After the death Of Captain Nor
ton his old comrade wrote the follow
ing verses:
How silent and still is your rest, dear father,
And cold is your marble brow.
The spirit that dwelt in that dear loved form
Is an angel now.
Your trials and Affections are done dear father,
Thou art safe on the shining shore,
With the gentle Shepherd to dwell for aye,
And the loved ones gone before.
We miss your sweet presence ON earth, dear
So gentle, 50 loving and kind. father
There's an aching void in the sorrowing hearts
OF your loved ones left behind.
We think Of the days gone by, dear father,
So heart-free of..sorrow or care,
With son aud others and all together,
The love of your bosom to share.
From our earliest tender years, dear father,
Twas your special care and pride,
Our footsteps to train in the path of right,
And be found on virtues side.
In your warm loving was our home, dear father,
Ever son and daughters place.
Your goodness extending to neighbors around
With social and kindly grace.
Thro' the cares and trials OF earth, dear father,
Right well you have borne your part.
Your virtues like essence OF fragrant flowers
From a Christian mind and heart
Thee your children viii ne'er forget, dear father
Still live In our bosoros enshrined
Till we greet thee at last in the Father land,
With the laurels Of Christ entwined.

A Thrilling Nights Ride is not the
name of novel, but it Is little road
picture by Mr.. HI.Cleveland Of ride
on the Northwestern Lightning Mail
Train from Chicago ito Omaha on the
run where the Midget Engineer made
the fastest time ever made on rail-
road, with his engine 592. Mr.. Cleye-
lands description Of the ride reads
like q romance, and the fact that it is
true intensifies the excitement its
reading produces. From Chicago to
Clinton I minutes gained and extra
minutes made. Change engines aud
engineers etc, then a wild run to Boon
then another change to engine 592 and
its little commander, and on to Coun-
cE Bluffs like the wind In which run
the great time was made, two miles
and four tcnths in one minute and :
seconds. And thus the Northwestern
Line stands at the head not only fol
the whole run, but ahead of the world
for the American people TO be proud
OF. The Old Northwestern is grsa
in ability and in its management.

Repudi.tss Fake Advertisinr.

The doom of fake advertising has
been sealed in Fond du Lac. A petit.
tion circulated among the merchants
by which they agreed to take no spa.
ces on programmes, catalogues hotel
registers, bulletins, directories or any
other medium outside the bounds OF
legitimate advertising. It's projectors
who are prominent business men are
confident that the signature of every
tradesman in town can be secured.
This is step in the right direction
Fake advertisers have been one of the
evils which Fon du Lac business men
have been compelled to contend with
for many years. They have been bled
Systematically, and the burden under
which they have labored has chafed
them greatly.
The following is the text of the
agreement:
SIN view Of the burdens placed upon
merchants who are called upon to
make enormous outlays for advertis-
ing on programmes, and on schemes
of one nature and another, from which
no appreciable benefits are derived,
and for tickets which are seldom used,
we, the undersigned merchants Of Fon-
du Lac state, of Wisconsin, A. ID. 1899,
to refuse to place advertising in such
programms and schemes and refuse
to buy any such tickets, and we fur
ther bind ourselves not to patronize
any travelling fake advertising agent In
any scheme whatsoever during said
year.
This agreement does not restrict its
members from purchase Of tickets for
entertainments that may meet with
their individual approval. ."-Fon du
Lac News.
More because publishers might not
be considered disinterested parties,
than that they we're not aware that
business men were putting their mon
ey where it would bring them least re-
turns, newspapers generally have re-
Trained from discussing the matter
treated of by the Fon du Lac paper
Nearly every systematic business
house sets aside a stated amount to be
expended in advertising each year.
Then If persuasive agents OF those ap-
pealing in behalf Of charity or religion
manage to get in their work and ex-
haust the sum, the legitimate channel
Of communication between the busi-
ness men Of the town, the home news
papers, are left to shift for themselves,
and instead of healthy advertising fill
their columns with free puffs and no
tices of the very things that are sap
ping their life blood. d.-Columbu Wis

Insect Notes.

The slow tapping of a butterfly s
wing produces no sound When the
movements are rapid, noise is produc-
ed which increases with the number Of
vibrations Thus the house fly. which
produces the sound Of F, vibrates its
wings 1.120 times a minute or 1856
times second. and the bee. which
makes a sound of A. as many as 26, 400
times or 440 times second. A tired
bee huns on f. and. therefore, accord
ing to theory, vibrates its wings only
$50 times a second.
