The secretary Of the enter ior in
his report announces that North
Dakota land Offices did the largest
business Of any in the Uuited
States during the current year and
Devils Lake holds the record for
any single Office. The state has
had an immense growth during the
decade and particularly in the pres
ent year-and the coming spring
promises to find an increased
growth-all Of which is significant
Of the fact that-the superior adj
vantages Of North Dakota as a
place for a man to get a start in a
short time-are becoming known
all over the union. What has kept
many from settling here was the
reported severity of the winters,
but those who have been in the
state several years and have ex-
perienced the winters assert that
on the average they are no worse
than in Wisconsin or Michigan.
The former severe seasons have
not been repeatedfor years. There
is room for hundreds of thousands
of people. Large tracts of the
best land in the world are found in
various sections Of the state. It is
estimated that from 10000 to &c.
OOO new settlers came into the
state this year.

dead at the G of rs pears. His real
name was Capt. c.. F.. Savauw, and his
life has been rich In vicessitudes. In 1S48
he took part in the students movement
and was ounde the same year at Fred
ricia. Afterwards he entered the army
and published several books. During the
Franco-German war he distinguished
himself as q correspondent for German
newspapers. But the tendency Of his con-
tributions ~displeased the military author
tiles of Denmark, and he was dismissed
from the Danish army. For a series Of
years he now led q mysterious life in
various countries. In the summer Of 1885
he was arrested in. Germany and it was
demonstrated that he had been acting tint
role Of a spy on a very extensive scale,
chiefly In the interest of the French
government. He, was sentenced to inn
prisonment for twelve years, but was re-
leased two years later. During all the
great wars of the latter part of the nipe-
teenth century he wrote IN military 4af>

The chief aim of these courses is to teach

promising. The ages Of the pupils range
from 20 to 60 years. but they are all
equally eager to learn. III course lasts
two weeks at each place. and four hours
is spent in class work each day. The at
tention paid to the cultivation of cro4

to that devoted to bookkeeping. The
number of scholars in each class being
small. the instructor has time to devote
special care to each one of them. These

London, Feb, 1.-THE fact that Lord
Roberts arrived at Modder river Friday
seems TO show. that he has been on a
round OF inspection Of the chief COM
mands and that the main advance is
not so near as has been supposed.
Startling intelligence comes from
Kimberley In the Cape newspapers just
received by mail in London. II appears
that since Jan. the rations IN Kim
berley have been for the most part
horseiiesh, so repugnant to women and
children that many refuse 20 eat. 1t
also appears that the death rate has
been heavy and that the priyations OF
the garrison have been increasing
steadily.
This news Is startling because the
censor has not allowed Il 10 be cabled
Possibly such conditions explain the
presence OF Lord Roberts at Modder
river and the apparent preparations
for an advance from that point.
The mention In the dispatches OF
Lord Roberts 10 the war office yester-
day OF General Clements as command
ing at Rensberg Is interpreted 10 show
that General French. with his cavalry,
has gone 10 join Lord Roberts. and
that considerable changes In the dis
