DISTRICT COURT.
Land Foreclosure Case of Seller
VS.. MOnek on
Trial.

The case OF Oscar j. Seller vs. Albert
Monek occupied the attention of Judge
Glaspell in district court for two days of
last week. The case was started by Mr..
Seller to secure the possession OF the
west q OF section 81, township l4l range
81 west fifth principal meridian located
IN Stutsman county. The land Involved
belonged prior to April 1883 to Ed
ward A. Driver of Chicago.
According to the amended complaint
in the case the land was sold through,
Seller to tho defendant Monek under q
land contrast for $1,000. Monek gave
notes covering $500 Of the cum to be
paid and 500 cash when the contract
was made. The fret note to become
due was one for Sl0O due November l..
1898.
Monek failed to see Seller on Novem--
ber !, 1898 when the frst note was due
although he testifes that be went into
Sellers Office many times previous to
that date and wished to settle the pay
ment of the note, but could not owing
to the sbsence of Seller. MoDek paid
the 800 note with interest amounting
in all to S1lO into court November Is,
1898.
Mr.. Monek claims that be complied
with all the terms of the contract and
was at all times ready to pay the first
note when due. 1t developed in the
trial that in corresponding with Driver,
Sieler had given the name of Pat Burke,
an employee OF bis, instead of that of
Monek, as the person wishing to pur-
chase the land and that the said Seller
secured from Driver contract and deed
for the land which recited that Pat
Burke was the purchaser OF the real
estate.
There was considerable testimony
taken to definitely settle the fact as to
whose agent Seller WAS IN the case.
Mr.. Seller claimed that be was not act
Ing for either party.
Seller was represented 10 the case by
Attorneys Rose and McHarg, and Monek
by Attorney Sanford.
The court stated that it appeared that
the only issue was rs to whose agent
Seller was when he made the last deal.
The case will be argued week from
Monday and decision made.

(FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
The body of Howard H. Craig was
taken east this morning. His widow will
take the remains to Kansas City for in.
terment. The casket was sealed up
tightly and was lined With zinc. Mrs.
Craig decided yesterday that the remains
we're those OF her husband. The letters
which be carried were q means Of identi-
fioation. The Christmas card which
she ssnt him was the principal proof to
her Of his identity.
A dispatch from valley City says:
Later facts concerning the death Of
Craig we're learned yesterday from Char
les NJ. Huston, of Troop E. First Un-
tied States regiment of cavalry recently
discharged from service at Fort Keogh.
Mont. Mr.. Huston says he resided at
Kansas City prior to his enlistment in
1898, and was personally acquainted
with Craig and his relatives and accl-
dentally ran across Craig at Forsythe,
Mont, June 20, and was With him up to
last Friday afternoon at o'clock when
Craig took a stock tram for the east.
In company with Corp. Wilson Of the
same troop, Huston walked up the track
from Jamestown TO the spot where Craig
was found. He says he saw blood at
frequent intervals on the ties before ne
reached the spot where the accident oc.
CURED, and from reports be gathered,
the opinion that Craig must have been
killed and placed upon the track by no.
known parties. The two farmers say
the body lay directly across the track
with the feet and head severed before
No. 6 was tagged. This fact coupled
with that of tie pockets being turned
wrong side out, as reported by passen-
gers, strengthens the belief that Craig
was undoubtedly murdered. When
Craig left Mandan he had s1l in paper
and coin. This fact is unquestionsbly
true.
Oralg worked at the freight Office at
Billings last April, May, and June. He
was making bis way to New York. where
a situation awaited him. He was mem.
ber of the Bnsiness Mems Club at AL.
lance. Neb., Knighte OF Pythias, Odd
Fellows and belonged to the order Of
Railroad Telegraphers. Craig was chief
dispatcher Of the, Kansas City Western
Union Office and also had charge of the
postal and cable service there for five
years. Private Huston had an interview
with Mrs. Craig on the train here and
may accompany her on her journey
home. Mrs. Craig was prostrated with
grief.

WESTWARD, H0!
The Only Course American
Commerce Can Now
Take.
Teach the Natives of China
and Japan to Use Our
Products.
United States is Well Situated
and Should Get its Share
Of Trade.

y y Hill says. 'lloro IS out one
direction for us to look for an extension
of commerce and that is to the Orient
from our western seacoast. China was
a strong and vigorous nation when
Abraham was shepherd. I made trip
to Europe recently and met the Chinese
minister to Washington. [ asked him
to explain why China had SO long con-
tinued without change. His answer
was that it was accounted for by the
love and reverence children had for
their parents and parents for their an
ceetors. The emperor's will is supreme
In China, and no court or no tribunal
can take the life OF man without the
authority of the emperor. The system
OF government is absolutely autocratic.
The governors are selected by competl-
ton, and civil service in its highest form
is the rule. The governors are chosen
on account Of their learning and literary
acq cquiremente. Three hundred miles
from the coas is found some agrlcultur-
al lands. The farmers raise about the
same as We do 10 Minnesota and some OF
the farm houses are better than aoy
found in Minnesota.
"Along back of the sea coast for
three hundred miles it is so denseIy
populated that many OF them are re-
qulred to make their homes on boats,
and they get their food from the sea.
1t IS the lower class that comes to this
country, but even they are not without
education. They have schools, litera-
ture, theatres and everything that they
feel is necessary to teeir happiness.
They are lacking in patriotism and love
OF country.
"Our country is we'll situated for the
developement of trade 10 that portion OF
the world where resides half it's popu-
lstion. japan and China have popu-
lat,on of 45O,OOO.OOO and should we give
tneup one bushel per capita 1t would re
quire all the wheat raised in the United
States. Should We give enough flour to
make an ounce of bread to those along
the sea coast for 300 miles back, it
would require all OF our surplus.
There is no danger of OVERRIDING it in
the matter OF commercial expansion in
this direction. The people ale not so
poor rs they are generally considered.
They spend their money as fast as they
make it for the comforts of life for
themselves end their families. They do
not hoard money, but feel that if they
can increase the comforts OF their fami.
lies they are accomplishing the object of
their lives. As their means Increase,
so will their wants. The extension of
commerce in this direction will be fruit
ful. 1t is something that We cannot
overlook Or overdo. I see at this
time no other outlet for the growth OF
the population of the soil of this coun-
try. We cannot have peasant class in
this country. can't imagine the exis.
tence of our government with such
class. 1t is no native to the soil. Let
US hope that 1t never will be-.
"Let those of US who desire to help
the situation hat is bound to face ue,
put themselves earnestly at work and
see that the development Of our CON-
merclal relations are carried OUT

Still More CounterfeitinR..

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters, and Sc
cured a large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so clevly executed thai the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things of great
value are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitators but no equals
for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
nervousness and general debility. The
Bitters set things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty of it. In
this the Bitters restores vigor
