Rapidly Developing Northern Wisconsin.

The settler and manufacturer who
have located in the northern portion
of the Badger state, are developing
and improving that immense tract of
rich country very rapidly. Tillers of
the soil are coming in and new fac
tories are going up. There is reason
for this. The quality and quantity
of iron ore, clay, kaolin, mari and
timber lands, tell the secret. Nature
yields its riches to those who toll.
Opportunities are still plentiful, for
much of the rich undeveloped land is
awaiting the settler and manufacturer.
1t can be obtained on easy terms and
at low figures.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RY.
The pioneer road of the northern
section of Wisconsin, affords cheap
and excellent transportation facilities.
thus opening the markets of the entire
country to the products of that section.

MINISTER'S SAFE
Allied Admirals Wire the Governor of
Pekin Asking as to the Foreign
Ministers.
Two Messages Received in Reply, by
Yuan, Governor of the Pekin
Province.

Washington, July 2S.-Secretary of
State Hay has received a dispatch from
Consul Fowler at Chefoo dated mid
night, July 2G, saying: This morn
ing, by request the allied admirals
wired to the governor that they wish
to get news from ministers themselves.
The governor now replies:
Have received today an edict from
the emperor saying the ministers are
we'll. They r sending provisions to
legations. Am confident the ministers
are out of distress and request o to
transmit this preliminary announce
ment to the admirals. (Signed) Yuan,
Governor"
In a later dispatch dated I O'Clock,
July %, Fowler says: Another tele-
gram from the governor: Have just
received an imperial edict July "a say
ing the various ministers, excepting
the German, are we'll, and some days
ago had supplied provisions to lega-
tionsY All satisfied the ministers are
out OF distress. (Signed) Yuan"

SHE o THE L

C~asselton, N. D., July'2S.-Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Maher, of Chicago, has won out
in her suit for possession of her hus-
bands fortune. Mrs. Maher will be
remembered as Miss Lizzie Bodle of
Casselton, her father once being the
landlord of the Occidental. The case
is quite a strange one. Mrs. Maher
married her deceased husband in Jan
uary, 1896, and he died suddenly at
Hot Springs, Ark, six weeks later,
leaving a 100000 estate. Immedi-
ately two former wives claimed the
property. The first of these was a
common law wife. Her claim was
contested and the supreme court de-
cided against her. Then came No. >
a divorced wife-who claimed the d.
vorce was granted on perjured testi-
mony. Judge Chetlain, in deciding
for Mrs. Maher No. 3-nee Lizzie Boz
dle-says that No. = is a much wronged
woman, but he is compelled to decide
against her because of the appearance
filed for her when the divorce decree
was granted and $ 1880 was accepted
afterwards. The Casselton widow
has to fight again as an appeal has
been taken by No. 2.

MANSLAUGHTER.

FARGO YOUNG MAN MAY HAVE TO
ANSWER THIS SERIOUS
CHARGE.
Fargo, July o1.-It is learned from
reliable authority that Joe Schlanser
will be held responsible for the death
of A. D. Carroll, who died from blood
poisoning caused by having his thumb
bitten off in a fight a few days ago.
Information has been filed with States
Attorney Nye by Mayor Aaker of
Moorhead, where the crime was COM
mitted, and as soon as the warrant is
issued this morning Schlanser will vol
UNFAIRLY ross the line and manfully
face the charge.
1t seems that the victim of the I'M
fortunate affair, Carroll, bore Schlan-
ser no i'll will. and it is said that while
on his death bed expressed as a dying
wish to the attending priest that
Schlanser be not held to account for
his death. This undoubtedly will have
considerable weight at the trial and
schlanser's friends are very hopeful
for his release.

NORTHERN PACIFIC MAKES A
SPLENDID SHOWING OF EARN
INGS FOR THE YEAR.
St. Paul, July 2G.-The Northern Pa
ciic, in the fiscal year just closed, made
a banner record on gross earnings, the
figure reaching $50, 100000. The earn
ings Of the main system for the past
year have been $29,9S3,OOO. When
the dividends on preferred and COM
mon stock have been paid, there will
be a surplus of 81 ,93G,245, which would
have paid an extra dividend on COM
mon stock of / per cent had the direc-
tors seen fiji to declare it. In view Of
the crop situation and the possible
need of a larger surplus, the dividend
was not declared.
The showing is a magnificent one.
1t shows a gain of over $4,OOO,OOO for
the year. The figures show that the
operating expenses for the fiscal year
were 47.7 per cent of the gross earn
ings, leaving 52.3 per cent for the net
earnings. The operating expenses
were slightly heavier than in the year
preceding, when the ratio was 47.4.
In 1898 the ratio was 1919 per cent.

$40 AN ACRE

Grand Forks, July 2S.-The Thomas
Campbell farm consisting of 12O acres
situated just south of the city, COM
prising the north half of the southwest
quarter and the northwest quarter of
the southwest quarter of section Is,
township 151, range 80, has been pur-
chased by Eugene Besse for $4,000,
500 per acre. The farm is one of the
best in the valley, but no better than
thousands of others can be made if
lney are properly handled. Mr.. Camp
bell is n of the most successful farm
ers in the Red River valley because
he farmed on business principles, al
ways keeping his land up in good
shape, and consequently always raised
good crops, as he did his work thor
oughly at all times. A few years
since $50 per acre would have been
considered a fabulous price for Red
River valley land. The fact that such
a price was paid in the face of the fact
that this is the poorest crop year in the
history Of the country is also signih-
cant, and shows that one off year in
twenty-five is not sufficient to discour-
age the farmers.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1900-08-03

other half, perhaps one-fourth, being
late sown grain, may give half an or
binary crop, and the remainder will
not average five bushels to the acre.
Occasionally a small piece will yield
a fairly good crop. Taken as a whole,
there will not be % per cent of an or
binary crop. North Dakota will not
produce this year 2O,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat. l doubt if it will exceed 49,
100000. OF fax there will be two
thirds crop on a largely increased
acreage. Hay has been improved by
the late rains. Many sloughs and old
lake beds, too wet to be cut in former
years, will produce good crops of hay.
There was mucn old hay left from last
years crop. Conditions generally
have been much improved during the
last three weeks, but millions of acres
of wheat will not be harvested. There
will not be a one-third crop Of oats and
barley"

ORDER
JUDGE POLLOCK AT FARGO RE-
STRAINS THE HUGHES COM
PANY FROM BUILDING LINE
PARALLEL TO OTHERS

PARALLEL TO OTHERS.
Fargo, July 2G.-Judge Pollock of
the district court this morning handed
down a decision in the case of the
Fargo Gas & Electric Co.against the
Fargo Edison Co.
The plaintiff company some time ago
made application for a temporary re-
straining order, pending the trial of the
suit, restraining the Edison Co. from
erecting poles against the wires of the
Fargo Co. or in close proximity or
within two feet of such wires. The
decision of Judge Pollock continues the
restraining order in force until the
hearing of the main suit, which will be
tried at the September term of court.
The suit at that time promises to be
an interesting one. The question in
volved is whether or not the Fargo Gas
& Electric Co. has an exclusive fran
chise for the stringing of light wires
and the maintenance thereof in the
city of Fargo. This question was not
involved in the present action. The
company claims to have an exclusive
franchise for a lighting plant, granted
by the city council of 1881, which is
perpetual.
The decision of today keeps the Ed
ison Co. from continuing the work of
extending the Eighth street south line,
on which considerable work has al
ready been done, pending the trial OF
the more important case.

FIRE FROM GASOLINE LAMP.

FIRE FROM GASOLINE LAMP.
st. Thomas, N. D., Aug. 1.-The ex-
plosion of a feeder can attached to a
gasoline lamp caused a disastrous fire
at st. Thomas last night which for a
time threatened to sweep the entire
town out of existence. AS it was the
plucky fight of the fremen confined
the flames to the general store of
Childerhose and Gibson in which the
fire started. The store, however,
with all it's contents was totally de-
stroyed entailing a loss of $4,000 on
which there was but little insurance.
