a Big Land Contest.

A land contest of more than usual
interest was heard at the office OF
Clerk of Court Morck on Monday and
Tuesday this week. The land in
question is the Sc \ OF sec. 30, town
OF Alma, and is held as tree claim
by Ole l.. Melgaard, of Argyle. The
contest was brought by T. G. Sutton
on the ground that the section in
question was not and is not exclu
sively prairie land or other lands
naturally deYoid OF timber. A..
Grindeland, of Warren, and Halvor
Steenerson, of Crookston, were the op-
posing counsel. Anumber OF witness
ses were down from Argyle, ,and Supt.
Hoverstad, of the State Experiment
farm, appeared as an expert on for
estry. 1t will probably be couple
years before a final decisoni in the case
is reached at Washington.

A Musical Treat.

The smusicale given by Mrs. W.
H. winchester, assisted by Miss
Maud Wees, pianist, last Friday
evening, will long be remembered with
delight. The music list was publish
ed in the SHEAF last week. The en-
tire vocafpart Of the program was
rendered by Mrs. Winchester, an nor
nous task under all circumstances.
but especially SO when one considers
that the poor acoustic qualities of
the room make it a difficult place in
which to sing or speak. Mrs. Win
chester demonstrated that she DOS
sesses rare musical attainments. and
her voice is sweet, pure and well train
ed. Every number she sang was re-
cieved with hearty applause. Miss
Maud Wees always pleases when seat
ed at the piano. Besides playing
most exacting accomplishments with
perfect discrimination she rendered
selections from Beethoven's Sonata
and Chopin's Nocturne with the skill
of a master. The whole entertain
ment was a credit to those who had
arranged the same.

Editor S. A. Brown, of Benefits
vile, S. c., was once immensely sur
prised. Through long suffering
from Dyspepsia" he writes, "my
wife was greatly run down. She had
no strength or vigor and suffered
great distress from her stomach, but
she tried Electric Bitters which
helped her at once, and, after using
four bottles, she is entirely well, can
eat anything. It's grand tonic,

splendid for torpid liver" For Indi-

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that
is the order of woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty
power to the average e:woman. Even
that greatest of all jewels, health, is
often ruined in the strenuous efforts
to make or save the money to pur-
chase them. If a woman will risk
her health to get a coveted gem, then
let her fortify herself against the in
siduous consequences ofcoughs, colds
and bronchial affections by the regu-
lar use OF DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest con-
sumption in it's early stages, and
heal the affected lungs and bronchial
tubes and drive the dread disease
from the system. 1t is not cure-all
but it is acertain cure for coughs,
colds ans all bronchial troubles. You

Brain=FOod NoRseuCe.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelIed the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for muscles
and still another for bones. 4 cor
rect diet will not only nournish a
particular, part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet.
however good your food may be, it's
nutrimentis destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepared
for their>appearance Or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine OF the health millions. A
few doses aids dirostior e-im,.!a+as

At the top OF the fort there is a

in there is commodious reception
room with tables and chairs. There is
also stairway around the pivotal
timber SO that the visitors can go up
and look over the top of the fort.
Within the reception-room there is
electric power SO that the fort slowly
revolves with pleasing effect. On
each projecting corner of the plat

placed large glass jars containing a
fine assortment Of choice appl-s

ONE DOLLAR DAMAGES
In the SANDER Case of DR.. Milestone
VS.. ]. j. Sutton.


In the United States court at Fer
gus Falls, the Jury returned a verdict
OF one dollar in the famous $25, 1000
Islander suit OF DR.. MILESTONE, of Ar
gyle, against J. J. Sutton. And so
this great case has finally been dis
posed of to the dissatisfaction, per-
haps, of both parties. One dollar
will neither make the doctor rich nor
Mr.. Sutton poor. But there is pend
ing a second suit for $4,000 for ma
licious arrest. The jury was out
about four hours and returned a
verdict of 81 for the plaintiff. In
the state courts this would mean
that the defendant would have to
pay the costs of the suit, but in the
United States court verdict for less
than $500 does not carry costs with
it; on the contrary, the court may
order the costs of the entire suit
charged up to the party securing the
verdict. The chances are, however,
that each side will have to pay it's
own costs, which will amount on
each side to perhaps 81 900.

Number If
State Ditch Inspection

Prof. ". R. Hoag, OF the State
University, has been making the an
nual inspection of the state bitches
under the direction of the board OF
state drainage commissioners. The
drainage law Of 1897 makes it the
duty OF the board OF county commits
sloners to keep these bitches in
proper repair, and an annual inspec-
tion is provided in order that the
drainage commission may call upon
the several counties to perform such
repair work where needed. Mr..
Hoag Was in Warren Monday,
having just returned from an inspec-
tion OF the Vega, Snake and Middle
River bitches, and he stated to the
SHEAF that these ditche. are in a
very satisfactory condition. The
Middle river ditch. which was left in
an incomplete condition at the lower
end, has been washed out and made
larger than was Ori ginally intended.
by the enormous quantity of water
carried this year. The Vega ditch
has also been deepened by the flow
OF the water, and in only few places
bave weeds grown up to hinder the
waters free progress. The great,
benefit OF these bitches has been very
apparent this year, and the people
are now waking up to the necessity
OF having more of them, The Grinde-
land drainage law is proving very
valuable in getting county bitches
built to supplement the drainage
service OF the state ditches. and stems
have already been taken toconstruct
a number of these bitches in different
parts of the valley. More ditches''
ought to be the watchword of the
people in the Red River valley.

Mr.. ingalls, Takes Fall Out of Thief
River Falls.

Well, we see by the Thief River
Falls Press OF September, 20, 1901,
that it is on the county racket gain.
The editor says; Let there be divis-
ion; then he says, what should be
done and what will be done before
many years is to divide both Red
Lake and Marshall counties and ere
ate an entirely y new county ont Of the
portions thus cut off, and the west
ern hall OF the present reservation,
and then make Thief River Falls the
county seat.
Well, that would undoubtedly be a
good thing for Thief River Falls, but
how would it be for us? Why can't
we have our county seat nearer the
center, and why can't we have it on
the extention OF therailroad through
the eastern part of our county, As
| have said before, the people are
satisfied with our county seat as it
is.
The Press also says that Warren
is such an unnatural trading point.
Warren assuredly is now and always
will be. Well, the comfy seat was
located by a large majority vote and
as far as we know the people are sat-
isfed as it is; then again we have tip
top new county buildings, but if di-
vided, we will have to build new ones.
which is pretty expensive we should
say, and I do not see why we should
do so just to build up Thief RiverFalls.
Then again, for about eight miles
leading north from the Falls, is the
worst road we eyer traveld on. When
dry, it is so rough one can hardly sit
in his wagon, and when wet-Oh.
excuse us from describing it, for we
cannot express our thoughts, and
as far as the business men in the
Falls are concerned they never have
donated cent to repair said road,
that we can learn. We suppose the
Falls could on a pinch furnish the
county officers for the new county al
though the Press man is silent about
that. We think it will be long time
before the people up this way will
vote our county seat to Thief River
Falls.
