VISITS STEELE co,

w. F. Cobb, M. D.. of Lyle,
Minnesota, writes very inte-
resting article on his recent
visitto North Dakota and in his
article we clip the following
from the OsAGE, MINI. News,
relating to his visit to Steele Co:
AT eight o'clock we bade the
friends at Fargo goodbye and
took the train for Casselton,
where we stopped all night and
had a good nights rest. The
next morning we boarded the
Great Northern train for Hope
in Steele county. The valley
lands about Casselton are very
fine but they were very wet,
and the grain where it was not
too wet, was looking we'll. Mr..
Wyman came down and relieved
Mr.. Ball at Cassel:on, and Mr..
Ball went home to look after his
sick wife. We had a very
pleasant time while with Mr..
Ball and arc indebted to him for
his gentlemanly kindness and
consideration. Under his care
full and judicious treatment were
improving rapidly. At Hope,
Mr.. Wyma1 procured a team
and drove us up to his Hope
farm four miles away. This
farm comprises section of fine
rolling prairie with half of it in
wheat, the other half in flax and
pasture and land for summer
following. This farm has a
/ good house, a barn with ten
double stalls and a granary that
| holds 10000 bushels Of grain,
a good we'll of water and 50 acres
fenced for pasture. There are
many fine farms about Hope and
the prospects are that they will
raise a bumper" crop. Land is
from So to $50 an acre. Leaving
this farm, we drove to Hope for
dinner, after which we took
fresh team and Mr.. Wyman said
he was going to show us some OF
the finest farms and the finest
grain we had ever seen, and he
kept his word. We went east
from Hope over some beautiful
rolling prairie, having many
fields promising bountifu
crop, and the first place we rest.
ed was the Casscll farm of 2A
sections of level prairie having
a deep black loan inclined to be
tr.flc sandy, but showing
number one crop, all in healthy
condition. On this place was a

farm was for sale at S22 an acre
with the land plowed this tall
leaving everything ready for ;

about the premises were wei
laid out with plenty of flourish

PROTECTING FROM MODS.

Guarded by Cleveland
Police,

Cleveland, O., Sept. 16.-As a pre-
1cautionary measure three policemen
are stationed within the little dwelling
lon Fleet street that shelters the IA
|ther, stepmother and younger broth
Iers and sisters of Leon Czolgosz, the
assassin. Indignation over his crime
seems to have prompted number of
persons with a desire to vent their
feeling on the Czolgosz family, and a
fear that the fatal termination of the
presidents illness would be the sig
nal for an outbreak has, caused police
men to be placed on guard. Up to an
'early hour in the morning no demon

The Presidents Submission.
4 The president himself fully real
aized that his hour had come and his
mind turned to his Maker. He whis-
spered feebly: Nearer My God to
Thee" the words of the hymn always
8dear to his heart. Then in faint ac-
cents he murmured: "Good-by, all;
Egood-by. 1t is Gods way. His will
8be done, not ours"
With this sublime display of Chris
titan fortitude the president soon aft
er lapsed into Inconsistencies.
The members of the cabinet, grief
stricken, were gathered in the large
drawing room of the Milburn house.
