INTERESTED IN SHIPPING.
Southern states Field for Activity

The southern Farm Magazine for Feb
ruary publishes timely article by Alex

Interest In Shipping" He notes that
votes OF Southern Congressman defeated
in 1891 bill framed by the Shipping
League OF New Orleans for the increase OF
the American mercantile marine and
shows what this short-sighted policy has
cost southern farmers. Our annual sx-
ports aggregate about Al. 10000 tons OF
which 100000 tons are agricultural prod
uets. and OF these more than one-half
come from the South. The average ocean
freight charge is 81 per ton. The South

than the rest OF the country. The solution
Of the shipping question is in the hands Of
the South. In her own interest, as well es
in the interest of the whole nation. the
South should cooperate with the North and
put an end TO the present policy Of neglect,

KENTUCKY'S CLOUDS LIFT.
DEMOCRATS WILL PROBABLY RE-
TURN TO FRANKFORT.
with This Prospect and the Govern
orship Matter I'm Court. There
Bids Fair TO lie Restoration OF
Pence to the Disturbed state.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 13.-The first sign
of break in the Democratic lines was
noticeable today. II came in the shape OF
a resolution offered by Senator Triple.
providing that, upon adjournment Thurs
day, the legislature name FRANKFORT as
its next meeting place. While no action
was taken on the resolution today, IL IS
believed to foreshadow a return Of the
Democratic legislators TO the state house
soon, probably by the end of the week.
This action will probably be taken, when
a report is received from the committee
sent to Frankfort upon conditions as 10
the presence Of the militia or armed men
and as to the advisable OF resuming ses-
sions at the usual meeting place
This Is rendered more likely. as the de-
lection occurred in the senate, where the
Democrats have a bare working quorum
With the resumption OF legislative busi-
ness at Frankfort in prospect. and the
transfer to the courts OF the claims OF the
rival governors, as seems likely TO be
brought about within a few days, the
clouds are rapidly lifting and II is believed
normal political conditions may be Testor-
ed in the state in two or three weeks.
That much time, at least viii be required
TO secure the adjudication Of the issues
between the parties. II the federal courts
decide they have Jurisdiction, 1t VIII take
much longer
Before Judge Csntriii at Georgetown to-
morrow Democrats will bring a suit in
equity asking an injunction to restrain
Gov. Taylor from exercising any of the
functions OF the Office of governor. II
is expected a temporary Injunction will
be granted n the Republican executive
clsregards the action of the court, the
Democrats will take the case to the court
of appeals, which, according to their con-
tendon, is the court Of last resort in these
proceedings
The plan was decided upon today at a
conference OF Democratic leaders. Pend
ing the result of this suit and the case

pected both sides will allow things to re-
main as they now stand.

A Beautiful Tribute.

We are often impressed Of the
fact, says an exchange, that an
aged woman never grows old.
Years may pass over her head, but
if benevolence and virtue dwell in
her heart, she is cheerful as when
the spring of life first opened to
her view. When we look upon a
good woman, we never think of
her age-she looks as charming as
when the rose Of youth first
bloomed upon her cheek. The
rose has not yet faded, and it will
never fade. In her neighborhood
she is the friend and benefactor in
the church, the devout worshiper
and exemplary Christian. Who
does not love the woman who has
passed her days in acts of kindness
and mercy-who has been the
friend of man and God-whose
life has been the scene of kindness
and love-a devotion of love and
religion? We repeat, such
woman cannot grow old. She wi
always be fresh and buoyant in
spirit. and active in humble deeds
of mercy and benevolence. If
young woman desires to retain the
bloom and beauty of youth, let her
not yield to the sway Of fashion
end folly; let her love truth and
virtue, and to the close Of life she
will retain those feelings which
now make life appear a garden of
sweets-ever fresh and ever new.

Eunice M. Dingle, modest,
humble minded, warm-hearted dis
ciple Of the Lord Jesus, was de
ivered of the body of her flesh,
and summoned to the fellowship of
the saints in light.
She was born in the beautiful
village Of Dunbar, Ont, in 1861,
and while still quite young was
united in marriage to her now sor-
rowing husband, Rev. j. G.. Dingle.
Unmindful Of the hardships Of
missionary life, they sought the
"great lone land," and in 1865
were doing fruitful work at Oak
Lake, Manitoba. In 1890 they
crossed into Dakota, and together
have labored in unselfish and un-
wearied toll until the "chord that
binds was broken But our debt
is especially to the noble woman
who uncomplainingly shared with
her husband the isolation, poverty
and hardships incident to pioneer
mission work.
AS a wife and mother she built
up a Christian home, which told
as effectively for higher civiliza-
tion as her husbands sermons.

memoir, will call to remembrance

leaves to mourn her loss a loving

A FEW YIELDS.
What Some Ramsey County Farmers
Got in this Off Year.

John w. Brooks, living in the
northern part of the county, sends
in the story as told by the thresh-
er in his neighborhood. The
figures which follow we're taken
from his thresher book and are
therefore absolutely correct. At
the time this threshing was done
the market price Of fax in Devils
Lake was Sl.5O busheland wheat
60 cents. Mr.. Brooks says:
James Pace, one of our most
substantial farmers had this year,
2,llS bushels wheat, 794 bushels
oats and barley and l,54l bushels
fax.
Thos. Keough raised on one
quarter section 1876 bushels oats,
394 bushels wheat and 1,O44
bushels flax.
Charley White had on one
quarter section 73S bushels wheat
164 bushels oats and $50 bushels
flax.
VIM. Rance had, oats, 1852
bushels; barley, 236; wheat, 600:
flax, 1892.
John Scroggs had on 100 acres,
640 bushels flax, 1900 bushels
oats and 300 bushels barley.
Ed. Burk threshed 1900 bushels
flax from one quarter section.
Thos. Maloney threshed on his
farm this year 1000 bushels wheat;
2,70o bushels oats; 800 bushels
barley and $500 bushels flax.
Part of his flax went % bushels to
the acre.
James Sharrah raised over 5000
bushels flax this year.
John Dahlen threshed on his
farm, 1900 bushels wheat, $500 of
oats, 900of barley and 1900 of
flax.
Mr.. Brooks concludes: "This
will be sufficient to give you an
idea Of the general run of the crops
in this part of the country. It is
simply remarkable how well this
soil withstands the drouth.
never saw any land in any country
that can stand the dry weather
like this and make crop"

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Will be Held. in Devils Lake Decem-
Der 7th and 9Th.

The necessary arrangements are
being completed for holding the
Farmers institute in this city on
the 7th and 8th of December.
Every farmer who can possibly at
tend should make it first duty to
be present at these meetings, as
the information that is to be OBJ
tanned is of incalculable value to
the tillers of the soil. Farmers
who have made it a point to attend
the institutes at the Fargo Agri-
cultural college are loud in their
praises Of the practical knowledge
which they obtained. Farming
has now become one Of the sciences
and the same study which is given
to other sciences must be given to
farming in order to make it a sue
cess. The old time method of
guessing at results has gone into
oblivion, for the very obvious rea-
son that it has proved failure too
often,
The following subjects will be
treated:
Dairying-Frank Fuller and H.
E. Arnold.
General Farming-Geo. w. H.
Davis,
Stock--Chas. Baker.
General Farming-David Nc
Gamma and Frank Hornett.
Trees-W. w. Barrett.
Sheep-A. w. Burt.
Cattle and hogs-Lewis Pond.
The institute will also be adj
dressed by Prof. Haverstad, of
Crookston, on Science in Farm
ing" Mr.. Haverstad is one of the
ablest exponents on this subject
in the northwest.
