North Dakota Products.

Senator Twichell of Mapleton
has sold Rusch & Smith of
Fargo, fifty head Of cattle. The
cattle were all raised on the
senator's bonanza farm, and
fattened on North Dakota corn.
The average price was $50 or
$1,000 for the bunch. This is a
nice little addition to the re-
ceipts of the farm, and indi-
Gates that Senator Twichell
has solved the problem of
diversified farning.-Forum.
Money out of stock produc-
ton, is right, and is the easiest
money a farmer can earn. Yet
the stockman on the northern
plains are carrying on a cruel
wanton waste and ought to be
suppressed-or made to pre-
pare proper food and shelter
for stock kept over winter.

been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Shaw, three boys and one girl.
Mr.. Shaw was reared in the
Methodist Protestant Church,
but joined the newly organized
Congregational church.in Ypsi.
lanti, in $780,; Mr.. Shaw's first
ministerial work was done at.
White Cloud, Mich, during the:
summer vaeation,in 1887. The
summer of 1889 was spent at
Roscommon; Mich, where six
teen members we're added to a
discouraged remnant of six
members.
Mr.. Shaw's first pastorate
was at Benzonia, Mich, begin
ming in 1890, and continuing
two and a half years. During
that time the church grew from
80 to 40 members. Homestead,
an out station, increased it's
membership from twenty-six
to sixty. seven, and built good
church. Another out station
was organized, which has since
grown into a good church. The
field came to self-support at
the end of the second year. He
resigned the pastorate to be-
come field secretary of Ben
zonia College, holding this
position for one and a half
years. He was editor of the
Michig IN Congregationalist for
one year.
In April, 1895, Mr.. Shaw took
the pastorate of the church at
Cooperstown,N. ID. The church
had four males and thirteen
females, and received from the
c. H. NJ. S. $3.50 per annum.
Three out stations have been
opened up and two of them or
ganized into churches, with a
membership of thirtythree and
thirteen,respectively. The field
came to self support at the end
iof the fourth year. A long
standing. parsonage loan of
1869 had been paid, the church
.epairedfand painted. Mason
& Hamlin pedal organ, costing
$425, purchased. During the
five years 112 have been re-
ceived into the churches,
seventy-four of them on con-
fession of faith. The present
membership of the three
churches consists of forty-six
males and sixty-four females.
Eight thousand one hundred
and forty-four dollars have
been raised on the field for all
purposes, $1,202 of which has
been given to benevolence.
Mr.. Shaw has been loyal to
all our benevolent societies, be.
lieving that even Home Mis-
sionary churches should con.
tribute something each year to
each OF the six societies and
add something for the minis,
terial relief fund. He has fire..
quently driven thirty-five miles
and preached three times on
Sunday. BY building sheds at
the school houses, Sunday
schools have been evergreen
schools ever since, and preach
ing service has been kept up.
The preaching has been fol-
lowed by personal and pastoral
work. Mr.. Shawis conservative,
but progressive in theology.
evangelistic in spirit and
preaching, and tireless
worker. He has accepted a call
to Wahpeton, and will enter on
the duties of the pastorate the
first of March. The outlook Of
the church under SO expert
enced and successful worker
is very hopeful.

Fast Mare to Be Entered In All of the
Big Stakes.

Chillicothe. o., Jan. Amp. the peer
less Ohio mare who carried off the hon.
ors last season at the big eastern meet
ings, is to be entered again in all the
big events for next year, and her entry
to all these events will be sent in in a
few days.
Her entries include. of course, the
Metropolitan, Suburban and Brooklyn
handicaps, as well as all the other big
races at the meetings in which she will
be eligible to start. Mr.. c. E. Bross-
man, who Is come here from Litho-
polls for the purpose of preparing the
entries and looking the mare over, is
satisfied that she will make even a bet
ter showing than she did last He has
no fear that the handicaps will be too
heavy, as the mare will be stronger and
heavier than she was last year, and
every whit as fast. Imp will be put
into training again some time between
the LIST and 18th Of February. She will
have two stable companions this year,
of whom great things are expected.
Both of them are colts, and have shown
remarkable speed in the preliminary
trials. Mr.. Brossman is confident that
he will have one Of the greatest stables
in the country.

JEFFR1Es-ooRBErr MAroH
Not Creating Much Enthusiasm, Says
John O'Rourke.

st. Louis, Jan. 2.-"I notice that the
Jeffries-C orbett match isn't likely to
start a conflagrasion of excitement in
ring circles" says Tom O'Rourke. 1--WE,
that is, Sharkey and myself intend to
bide our time, to lay low and wake up
when this match is exploded. And this
explosion will come, or my name isn't
Thomas f. O'Rourke. The match was
made, In the first place, to stall off JEFF
fries from the challenges Of Fitzsiln-
mons, Sharkey, and Rubin. When it
falls through Sharkey will speak his lit
tie piece. He will camp on Jeffries'
trail, and If he refuses to fight, then
some one of the heavy weights, either
Fitzsimmons or Sharkey or Rubin, will
ster in, claim the championship by for
felt and fight it out for first honors.
''Jeffries is nothing if not inconsist-
ent. After whipping Fitzsimmons he
declared he would defend the cham
pionship title against all corners. He
would rather scrap than go up against
a bunch of pate de foie gras and
small bottle, to hear him talk last sum-
mer, But something must be radically
wrong with him. Perhaps he has exper-
fenced a change of heart since his tus-
sic with Sharkey. The old London rules
declare that a champion must fight
twice a year if he is challenged, and
there is no reason why that ruling
shouldn't obtain IN the Queensb berry
code. You can gamble that Jeffries will
be the shortest-lived champion the ring
has had in many a day. He isn't as
popular as Sharkey as a show attraG-
ton, as Tom will outdraw him three to

saw g. published statement which tend

with a letter to Funston.
Mr.. Seymour is in receipt of a letter
from the general, who writes from the
transport Indiana, at sea, November 80,
as follows:
The officer of whom you spoke is
undoubtedly one of those small souled
creatures who, never having the cour-
age to do anything themselves, take a
sort of puppyish delight in depreciat-
ing the laurels won by other men.
His statement that he heard me say
that never swan a river in the Philip
pines and that, in fact, I could not
swim, is a lie out of whole cloth.
''Will you do me the favor to tell him
that 1 said so, and show this to what
ever persons were with you when he
made the remark?
