WHY.

The corporation laickeys are saying
Judge Simonton reversed himself, when
he found he was wrong" He did nothing
of the kind. When he found his ruling
would be reversed ON appeal, upon the
reason he gave, he adhered to the same
ruling, giving another reason which will
keep the railroads from paying the tax
for many months and will delay an ap-
peal.
He reversed himself" just as the
wolf did when he could not eat the

WHAT A YOUNG STATE IS DOING.

The Legislature of Nebraska recently
passed bill appropriating to the State
University of Nebraska the proceeds of
tax of one mill per dollar upon the
grand assessment roll of the State. 1t
is estimated that this tax will yield the
University S16S,000 a year. The total
registration of the University during
1S97-9S was 1915.
Nebraska, with One-third our popula-
tion appropriates $16S,0 to her Uni
vcrsity and has this year, over 1000
students. North Carolina arpropriates
$31 900 Tor about one-seventeenth rs
much in proportion to population and
for the first time in its history has, 1T
its University. over 800 StudentS--one-
twelfth as many rs Nebraska in proper

To the thousands of settlers who are
now coming into the Dakotas we want
to urge the Importance Of beginning
farming along right lines to meet ire
peculiar conditions Of this country.
1t is worse than useless to attempt
Maine, Illinois or Kentucky farming
in North Dakota fields. The Dakotas
have lost more wealth and more cit;-
zens from a lack of understanding our
peculiar conditions than from all
other causes combined. The farmer
who settles on our prairies must turn
his back on past surroundings and
grapple with Dakota soil and climatic
conditions. Crops have been success
fully produced here, ami farmers who
have advanced in their efforts have
not been the result of changing any
thing but are the end IF II comprehen-
sive appreciation of Dakota con1i-
tons. To the beginner here nothing
is more important than a journal de-
voted to Dakota farm interests, and
in the Dakota Farmer published at
Aberdeen, S. D., this much needed
thing is found. 1t is filled from be-
ginning to end with the best practical
Dakota farm literature obtainable.
Every new settler on Dakota plains
should begin right by subscribing for

SKUNK FARM.
Resident of McElenry County Says
There is Millions in it..

One of the most important and pro-
fitable industries to be established
near Balfour is a skunk ranch by Mr..
II. P. Johnson, who has a claim a
mile and a half west of this place, says
the BalfOur Statesman. Mr.. johnson
says there is millions in it and that
he is dead earnest in regard to the
matter. He appears to be quite we'll
posted in regard to the details of the
business and grows quite enthusiastic
when speaking of the prospects. He
states that the odious little animal is
as clean and harmless as a kitten,
when reared in a proper manner. They
must, he AYERS, be kept tame and never
frightened. He acquired his stock of
information in regard to them of
skunk farmers in the east. The method
of killing is simple when you know
how it is done. First, the animals
being very tame, are easily caught and
them the hand performs a soothing,
sliding motion until the tail is reached
which is grasped firmly, and then the
animal is hit in the head with a ham
mer. Considerable depends on the
tail hold, in fact, should the operator
fail to hang on the result would defy
description. The skunk is said to
be perfectly harmless when suspended
by the tail. Mr.. Johnson assures us
that he will make a success Of this
feature of the industry and asserts
that the profits are a strong incentive.
Aside from the excellent prices which
the furs bring may be added that of
the oil reduced from the fat Of the ami
mails. Their oil is worth in the
neighborhood of IS per gallon. 1t
requires considerable food of the right
sort for these valuable animals but we
understand that Mr.. Johnson has sue
cessfully solved the problem. We
congratulate Mr.. Johnson on the bril-
liant prospects in store for him and
sincerely hope there may be millions
in it.

WHO FULLER WAS.
CONTROVERSY With Regard to Alpheus
Fuller, as First Delegate of the
Territory.

General E. A. Williams: l see the
controversy with reference to AL
pheus Fuller, recently deceased, as
having been the first delegate of the
territory of Dakota to congress, is
being carried on in North and South
Dakota to some extent. The dispute
arises in this way: In 1859 a number
of old settlers came to Dakota from
Minnesota and other states and par
TALLY made an organization for ter
ritorial government. Among the Of
ficers selected was Alpheus Fuller as
delegate to congress. This was before
the formal organization of Dakota as
a territory, but Fuller went down to
Washington and applied for his seat
in congress as a delegate from Da-
kota. The seat was denied him.
When the territory was formally or
ganized in 1861, General J. B. S. Todd
was elected a delegate, and took his
seat. He va the first regularly
elected delegate but there is some
foundation for the statement made
that Fuller was the first delegate from
Dakota. Inc matter is explained in
the early history of the territory.

ously in the way of new equipment
and improvements, but this step fol-
lows the cordial patronage being Y
tended and the preference of the trav-
cling public and mercantile compan-
les over its rival. The carrying en-
pacity of the Northern Pacific is at
present being fully taxed. There is
no shortage of cars, as has been Ie-
ported, except, perhaps, more fiat cars
might be used to advantage owing to
the tremendous lumber movement far
west. Numerically, it is about 3.:NO
cars short in it's wheat movement over
the same time last year, but the fig
ures are misleading, inasmuch as this
years cars are larger than were those
of last season.

RESERVOIRS.
Government Will Make a Careful In
vestigation of the Reservoir
Filings.

The government will make a care
full investigation of the reservoir fl-
ings in this and other districts of the
state. Special Agent Allen will look
into the matter and make reports on
all the entries made. So far IN this
district there have nearly a thousand
filings on land for reservoir purposes.
In the other districts of the state the
number of filings have not been So
large. Devils Lake Office has refused
to accept more filings. The govern
ment will determine in each case
whether the applicant really intends
to construct a reservoir, and where ,le
intention does not appear to he in
good faith the filing will be Cancelled.

SUICIDE.
Young Girl at Walhalla Takes Her
Own Life by Shooting Herself
With a Revolver.

Anna Dalzell, the eighteen year old
daughter of Charles Dalzell, living
near Walhalla, Pembina county, COM
mitted suicide by shooting herself.
For the past week or so the young
lady had been suffering from an at
tack of melancholy and on Monday
she seemed even more depressed than
usual. About l o'clock she left the
house for the stable, a short distance
away. This was the last seen of her
alive. Her two brothers were at work
in the granary a short distance from
the stable and the younger went to the
stable for something, when he saw
Annie laying in a heap on the floor.
Thinking she had tainted he called
his other brother, Will, and they at
tempted t 0 lift her and carry her into
the house when they saw she was
dead, noticing the blood on the back
of her dress. They lifted her up and
carried her in and laid her on the bed
where she was left until the arrival of
the physician.
Upon arriving at the home Of Mr..
DalZell, DR.. Mowatt proceeded to make
an examination of the body. He found
Il bullet wound in the left breast.
showing that the bullet had entered
the breast between the third and
fourth ribs, taking an upward course
and passed through the apex of the
heart and made it's exit from the body
between the third and fourth ribs in
the back. through the lower portion
of the shoulder blade. Powder marks
on the flesh showed that the weapon
had been held close to the body when
fired and also 60 to show that the re-
volver must have been held by the
girl. The revolver is a thirty-eight
calibre and was new, having lately
been purchased and taken home, but
had never been fired. 1t was fully
loaded, but M cartridge having been
fired. No shots had been heard by
the boys in the granary nor by any
n in the house.

SHUT OUT THE 500.

The building of the branch line by
the Northern Pacific between Cassel-
ton and Dickey, the jamestown Capt.
tai thinks will effectually shut out the
500 and prevent it's building into
Jamestown from the south.
Another contract for the line con-
Meeting Minor and Cakes, about "a
miles, will be awarded in a few days.
The completion of this cutoff may
give jamestown another line to the
Twin cities and additional mail and
passenger facilities if the local bus
ines between jamestown and Minor
warrants a passenger train-wAich is
not probable now.
The road has a number of locomo-
tives in the Fargo shops undergoing
overhauling and repair in anticipation
of heavy traffic this spring on this d.
vision. Large forces of men are also
at work on the various sections put

Forger Who Passed Checks on Local
Merchants Nabbed at James,
town.

Alert: VIM. Brandendistl, under
arrest at the court house, has con-
fessed to Sheriff Severn that he is the
man wanted at TT. Keogh FOR desert
ing from the U. S. service. Branden-
dist arrived in the city early in the
week from Bismarck with three other
men. One of the men, VIM. J. Ken
drick, called on Sheriff Severn Tues
day evening and told him that there
was a crook in the party who was
wanted in Montana towns and also in
Bismarck for forgery. He gave Sher-
if Severn a description of the man.
The sheriff took Kendrick to States
Attorney Baldwin's Office and tele-
graphed to Bismarck to Larson, a
shoe dealer. Larson telegraphed
back that he mad been the victim of a
forger and gave a description of the
man suspected. Sheriff Severn searched
jamestown but could not locate the
forger. Kendrick told him that the
other two men in the party were de-
serters from the regular army and the
capture of B~randendistl was effected.
The others had left for the east and
Valley City and Fargo were notified.
Yesterday the Fargo police cap
tured the forger, Earl F. Strong and
the other deserter from Fort Yates,
Leon Hoyt. Wilson had victimized
a Fargo nan named Simonson by
forging Marshal John Haggart's sig
nature to a check for SD. Kendrick

Severn telephoned last night to the
Fargo police concerning Hendricks
connection with the affair.
kendrick told Sheriff Severn that
Wilson had procured blank checks
from the Farmers and Merchants
bank and had inquired concerning
certain farmers who would be likely
to have money on deposit in the bank.
The commander from Fl. Keogh
will arrive in a short time to. take the
deserter Bandendistl back.

FORT LINCOLN.
That Will be the Name of the New
Military Post at Bismarck, as
Settled by Department.

The new post now in course of con-
struction at this place will be named
Fort Lincoln.
This is the name settled upon by the
wal department at the recommended
ton of Senator Hansbrough.
No name could have been selected
more pleasing to the people of this
vicinity, or that will be more lasting.
1t was the name of the old fort on the
other side of the river and since the
post there was abandoned the name
of one of the nations greatest presi-
dents has not been perpetuated in any
of it's military posts. When the mat
ter of the name came up, Senator
Hansbrough was urged by several
members of the citizens committee to
ask that the fort be named Fort
Abraham Lincoln" and this has been
done.
Here's to the new Fort Lincoln.
