Good Samaritan hospital OF Portland
for treatment in hopes that her life
might be spared. Everything possible
was done but to no avail. She was
patient in suffering, resigned in full
view of coming dissolution and tri-
umphant in death. She leaves hus-
band, two children and many friends
who mourn her loss. Mrs. Rand died
at the hospital February 4, 1899. and
the remains were buried in Idlewilde
cemetery February 5th, the funeral
taking place from the M. E. church.
The warmer weather played havoc
with the ice and those who were en-

more ice this winter than ever before,
more in fact than they can use during
the next fishing season. 1t Is not
every year, however, that they have
such opportunities as this one has af-
forded and they have taken every ad-
vantage OF them by putting up sufficient

The Silver Gar.

There are fishes comparatively com
moi chat it is almost impossible to keep
alive in captivity, or even to make cap
tive without injury. Among these is the
silver gar. This fish is found in con-
siderable numbers n these waters in
summer; in southern waters it is COM
mon. 1t attains length of two feet, is
extremely slender and spindling in
form, and its head and jaws are pretty
nearly quarter of its length, the jaws
tapering almost to point. 1t is ia-
bic when captured to do injury in the
net either to the tip of the long jaws or
to some part of its slender body. 1t is
accustomed to swimming near the sur
face, in wei,.-aerated water. Silver gar
taken in Gravesend bay, though handled
with the greatest of care, have died be-
fore they could be got to the aquarium
in this city. Tbs silver gar is very diff
ferent from the hardy, bony gar, OF
which there are several specimens now

Worthy Pioneers.

Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter recently
sent to Mr.. and Mrs. James a. Emmons
a group picture of Mrs. John p. Dunn,
Mrs. r. P. Davis, Mrs. Henry Suttle and
Mrs. Frank Donnelly. In replying to
Mrs. Slaughter's letter Mr.. Emmons-
asks kindly about Mrs. r. r. Marsh
and pays the following tribute to four
of Bismarck's we'll known ladies': To
receive a group of ones old friends is
truly the acme of pleasure. But far
above appreciation, distance and lapse
of time, make lovely beyond descrip-
ton faces of such exquisite sweetness,
bloomed and ripened amid the stirring
scenes of ye early days of Bismarck
Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Subtle,
Mrs. Donnelly-at dinners, at teas, at
receptions, in the enhancing ball room,
in the dignity of their homes, girlish,
cheerful and ever looking to the bright
er side of life, never forgetful of Gods
poor and distressed. So kind and con
siderate; time has given them the crown
of matronly beauty. Their very eyes
and pose look natures most lovely
charm. Motherly, sainted and sacred
faces they shall ever be treasured nearest
to our hearts, so full of happiness
on the reception of this group.

each. More than half of the effect Of
the parade is taken off by reason of the
volunteers being without arms. Even
the pop governor of Minnesota saw that
Minnesota troops should have arms in
passing in review before a republican
president while our republican governor
refuses the loan of a pile of scrap iron.'
1t is surprising that the mayor should
allude to the guns in the armory as
"scrap iron'-unless he intended to be
humorous-and from the tone of his
communication it is evident he was too
indignant to be humorous. There are
no obsolete guns in the armory unless
the mayor thinks the Springfield obso.

listed, the mayor could hardly have Ok
pected the state to ship 500 stand OF
arms to Fargo, where no one in particu.
lar would be responsible for them.

Heinant shot himself Tuesday morning
while out driving, whether accidentally

Sheep for Clearing Land.

One of the most prosperous farms in
the Red River valley is at Armenia, Cass
county. The little town is practically
built and run by the Armenia Land Co.,
which has built elevators, houses
churches, stores and hotels. The yards
around all the buildings are kept clean
and the town looks as if it was under
the intelligent supervision Of a manager
who knows his business. The farming
operations on the large tracts of land
cultivated by the company are On
Quoted with the same degree of care and
success. The most modern methods of
saving the crops, cultivating the soil
and marketing the grain are used and
the middlemen's profits cut wherever
possible. One of the investments which
has proven profitable is tho feeding of
sheep each year on land not plowed,
after cropping season. Sheep are
turned in on the stubble. They clean
the land thoroughly Of all noxious
weeds, foul seeds, ETC., besides taking on
flesh rapidly. Last week a band of 5000
sheep we're driven from Wheatland tc
the farms, about twelve miles from the
Northern Pacifi: track. They will be
reshipped later in the year. The clear.
ing of the land saves expense in other
ways and is a money maker.

STORIES OF Till WAR
Lieut.. Kelley's "reminiscences of the
Philippine War in the Caring
ton Independent.

After the outbreak and wild rout of
the Filipinos on February 9TH and 9th,
the American army were living on the
best the newly acquired territory could
atford-chickens, ducks and vegetables
were in abundance, and nearly every
man in the North Dakota infantry had
captured a horse: in fact they were fire.
quently called the North Dakota
mounted infantry.
A l%ieutenanc of the signal corps had
an orderly assigned to him from the
regiment for messenger duty. While an
officer of that rank is not entitled to a
mounted orderly, the lieutenant thought,
judging from the hustling qualities of
the regiment, that his orderly would not
be long in rustling Il mount; he there
fore told him that in order to be up-to-
date he should have a horse.
The following morning the first thing
the lieutenant saw on arising was n fine
buckskin stallion tied in front of his
quarters. Upon inquiry, he was in.
formed that his newly appointed orderly
had brought the animal in from the
enemy,,s country during the night.
The Tennessee regiment made Il great
charge on the Filipinos on February 9th
not great from the disciplinarian stand,
point but from the zeal and vigor put
into it. 1t took nearly a week to rounC
the regiment up. Chasing negroes ano
gathering up chickens was right in theil
line and it began to look as if would take
the whole Eighth army corps to rounc
them up and get them back onto the
line. Nearly every hour in the day ont
would meet a corporal's guard on the, line
and the inquiry was sure to be "IIavt
you seen any Tennessee boys arount
hyar?:"
On the seventh of February an orde,
was issued from brigade hcadquarter.
restraining the men from killing or car
rying off chickens, pigs and all domcsti,
animals.
The day following this order the gen
cral was sitting in front Of his quarters
in Pasay, when down the road came
couple of the Tennessee regiment with
long bamboo pole on their shoulders
and about scventy.tive chickens strun!
across the pole. The 'old man" didn'
see thcm--he turned his back and walked
into his quarters, but that night tn
Tennessee regiment received anothe
copy of the order and the word chicken
was heavily UNDERSIGNED.

Sunday was a red letter day for the
prohibitionists in Fargo when 200 dele
gates to the meeting of the national w.
c.. 7. U. at Seattle stopped there on
their way to the coast. The delegates
included the national president, Mrs.
Stevens, Mrs. Baker, the national treas
urer and other distinguished officials of
the organization. A mass meeting was
held at the opera house in the afternoon
in which there we're addresses by many
distinguished speakers. The anti-can-
teen law was the burden of their dis
course and Senator Hansbrough and
Congressman johnson came in for praise
for having supported the measure while
Attorney General Griggs and President
Mckinley were criticised for not having
enforced the measure.
This is the way the LaMoure Chron-
icle does it: Mr.. Luther Randall and
Miss Ina Chapman, both of Monango,
came to LaMoure this week in a golden
chariot drawn by a pair of doves that

Windsor hotel Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Randall and Miss Chapman were united

Croman performing the ceremony.
More prosperity. The First National
bank of Valley City has nearly 100000

the fact that three other banking insti-
tutions have been established in. the
county within the past year, all of which
have done a most satisfactory business
Valley City Times-R Record: The joke
this time seems to be on E. H. Briggs
The county commissioners wanted loo
tons of Ignite coal. While Mr.. Briggs
was preparing his bid he happened tc
notice that some one was watching him
and he wrote in figures "Sl.25" as his
bid. Then he went away byhimself and
fixed up another bid, in which he asked
1925 a ton for his coal. He got his bids
mixed in some way and it was the sl.2;
bid which went before the commission
ers. It was the lowest bid and Mr.
Briggs gets the contract for furnishing
the county with coal. Now he wants
some one to help him let go.

Mayor Johnson is Mad.

Mayor johnson of Fargo ..telegraphed
up to Adjutant General Miller for the
riHes.in the state armory for the parade
at Fargo. AS there was no one respon-
sible for the weapons, and as they stand
the state about s12 apiece, the adjutant
general did not feel that he was
warranted in shipping the guns away.
So Mayor johnson is mad and, in: Fargo
papers he distributes an interview. as
follows:
II have tried to secure gums flor
the volunteers for the presidents recep-
ton. The state has sufficient for that
purpose guns that are obsolete...and as
far as weapons for soldiers in service
worthless, yet Governor Devine refuses
to let us have the old things for fear
some of them might get lost. They are
not worth stealing. I don't suppose
they could be sold in open market at 81
