THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY
IS BEING LISTED IN FARGO.
Fargo, June 19.-The railroad com
panies will have a kick coming ongthe
assessments made in Cass county, ac-
cerding to all reports, and one has al
ready been registered by the local at
torneys for the Northern Pacific.
When the assessors met at the county
auditors office in May for instructions
and supplies, Assistant States Attor-
ney Engerud directed that the per-
sonal property of the several railroad
companies be listed the same as the
personal property of a farmer or mer-
This was explained as meaning
the furniture and fixtures of the sta
lions and other buildings of the sew
eral railroad companies. In the aggre-
gate this would mean a considerable
sum added to the annual assessment.
The restaurant at the N. P. station was
listed at $1,000 and Ball, Watson &
Maclay, for the company, gave notice
of protest against such an assessment.
The companies claim that the tax paid
the state of a given sum a mile for
main line, branches and sidetrack set
ties the matter of taxation so far as
they are concerned, with the exception
of what real estate the company may
possess. States Attorney Engerud
insists that fixtures and furniture be
assessed and it is likely that the mat
ter will be adjudicated in courts in due
time.

Henry Clews' Weekly Trade Review
says: Zone very satisfactory evidence
of prosperity is the continued large
exports; amounting to Sill, 900
last May, against $91,25O,0sO a year
ago. Our imports during the same
month were $71,555,O0O, compared with
$7O,160,OOO last year. This left an
excess of exports amounting to SAL
s947,O OO, against $23,68O,0O0 in 1899;
and a considerable portion of this ex-
cess was due to the rapid increase in
exports of American manufactures.
Unfavorable reports concerning the
wheat crop, have caused more uneas-
mess than justified, because the large
increase in acreage promises to fully
Offset all damage reports thus far re-
ceived. The condition statement of
the department of agriculture on June
1 indicated a yield of 619,OOO,OOO bush
els, while the total crop of 1899 was
547, 100000 bushels, which affords a
big margin for damage before the
yield falls below last year. Trade re-
ports indicate a s~lackening of business
and in a few instances railroad earn
ings show a decline from top figures.
This should not be expected. Demand
and prices cannot always continue at
the food-tide! moderate reactions
would probably put trade on a much
more healthy basis and pave the way
for renewed activity next fall. Wall
street is even now discounting such a
reaction. Gold exports have been re-
newed upon a considerable scale, but
this movement attracted little atten-
ton. Money rates continue easy and
the satisfactory condition of the money
market is the chief source OF strength
in stocks" r

the bison, which was fitted by nature
to resist the severity of the climate in
the west and northwest, was not util-
lied in any way except for food OF for
the hide. There is no domestic animal
to take it's place. Where the bison
turned its head to the storms on the
plain and fought for life with the biz
card, ordinary cattle persisted by the
thousands. The wild horses of the
plains were captured, and did their
part in the worA of civilization. The
bisons were slaughtered without
thought of their value. The Inter
Ocean puts it mildly wnen It says that
there has not been anything to com
pare with the massacre, in reckless
ness and wantoness. in any other coun-
try. Early residents of Bismarck and
all old Missouri river pilots well re-
member the countless thousands of
buffaloes that roamed these prairies
up to 1878, 70 and 80. AS many as
$4,000 hides have been piled UP
on the banks of the river at Bismarck
in n week awaiting shipment east.
Every Steamboat from up river during
navigation season was loaded to the
guards. 1t is estimated that an Eng
lish party of alleged sportsmen who
followed u pthe Yellowstone in the fall
and winter of 1889 killed over 1OO,-
600 buffaloes and less than ten per
cent Of the hides were even saved. Over
$4,000 tongues were preserved and
where the round up" was neal the
river the hides were taken off and
piled up for shipment or sold to some
trader. There now remains a small
herd of about fifty in the Yellowstone
Park. 1t does not increase in size be-
cause of the governments inability to
police the whole border of that region,
It Is not likely that many are killed in
the park but the animal that ventures
outside the limits soon. finds the end OF
his trail. The people of the north
west agree with the Inter Ocean. Lei
us preserve the buffalo-but how?

SILK AND WIFE.

THAT'S THE WAY AN ITINERANT
PAINTER, ACCOMPANIED BY AN
OTHER MANS WIFE, REGIS
TERED AT LEEDS.
A Leeds correspondent of the Fargo
Forum thus speaks of the arrest of I.
T. Silk, who run away from Erie:
"Mrs. Warner, the wife of Cad War
ner Of Erie and the foxy paint
spreader with whom Mrs. Warner had
eloped, were both arrested here Satur-
day by Deputy Sheriff J. A. Jones, and
turned over to Sheriff Wilson OF Fargo,
who arrived here from Fargo. The
sheriff was accompanied by Attorney
Showers, who had come for the pur-
pose of endeavoring to induce Mrs.
Warner to go home to her husband and
children. The couple came here on
June Z, and went to the Hotel Gray and
registered as 81 T. Silk and wife, and
they lived here as such since. When
the arrest was made Mrs. Warner took
on very much and at once admitted
her c~landestine and Illicit relations to
this man Silk, and that she was the
mother of five children and that she
loved all of them, but that now she
did not want to see her husband. Mrs.
Warner appears to be a woman of fine
taste and good culture and it is the
strangest thing of all that she should
be taken with such a man as Silk, as
he is reported a %nonentity when at his
best, and his looks would certainly
carry out that impression. Silk must
have some hypnotic or mesmeric power
over her, and it is too bad that the
law is not more severe with such men.
1t is the hope mere that the man NAV
be prosecuted to the full extent Of the
law, and that the woman may be in
duced to take her place at home again.
