The western half of North Dakota is
a veritable stockman's paradise. In
few sections of the United States are
there to be found greater variety OF
grasses, richer in the elements calcu-
lated to fatten all kinds of stock, nor
in greater abundance. All the year
round stock live on the ranges, pass
ing through the winter with small loss,
compared to other sections. Thou
sands OF cars of cattle, horses and
sheep are annually shipped from the
country west Of the Missouri river,
where, besides the exclusive stock
raiser, nearly every farmer has his
bunch of cattle, sheep or hogs in addi-
ton to his farm.
North Dakota ranges have become
so famous, and their products such IA
vorites that stock is frequently driven
from other states to fatten there. and
shipped out in the fall as North Dako-
ia beef.
In addition to range cattle and
horses, many raisers are making spe-
cialty of fancy stock, samples of which
have brought enormous prices at the
Chicago market, presaging bright
future for this branch Of industry.
North Dakota woods are far above
the average in weight and quality, and
the state wooden mills make of them
the finest grades of flannels and cloth.
These woods are prime favortes with
Eastern buyers, and command the
highest price.

guest Of Strikers.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 81. - Three
train crews refused to handle non
union coal from the Philadelphia &
Reading company's North Mahanoy
collicry. Several hundred strikers
were assembled near the colliery when
the locomotives arrived to take away
the coal cars and the strike leaders ap-
pealed to the railroad men to refuse
to haul the coal. The trainment held
a brief consultation. The locomotives
steamed away without the cars amid
the cheers of the strikers. The crowd
about the colliery soon increased to
several thousand and the company of.
ficials appealed to Sheriff Beddall for
assistance. The sheriff explained the
situation by telephone to Gen. Goblin,
in command of the state troops here,
and the general ordered the Eighth
regiment to the scene at once. BY the
time the soldiers reached the scene
two other locomotives and crews had
arrived from Gordon. One company of
the regiment was ordered to Mount
the cars, and, with other soldiers
guarding the track for over q mile, the
train proceeded. The train consisted
of twenty-three. cars loaded with coal
and is the first coal shipped fro mthis
district since the strike began.

BOTH FIREMAN AND EN-.
GiNEER.

Chillicothe, Ohio, Sept. 20-No. 2,
the Royal Blue Flyer on the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern, was wrecked at
Leesburg, near here, at o'clock last
hight, the train having ran into an
open switch while running at the rate
of fifty miles an hour. To add to the
disaster the engine exploded and the
engineer, Philip Roe, and Fireman
Charles Studer, both of this city, were
killed outright. Every coach on the
train left the track, but advices from
the scene of the wreck are that none
of the passengers has been seriously
injured. General Manager l. G. Rawn
was in his private car on the rear of
the train and he superintendent taking
care of the many who are more or less
hurt. He ordered the injured brought
to the Warner house in this city. He
asked for room for forty-four persons
injured. Their names cannot be OBJ
tanned here, as all is confusion. The
| train consisted of eight coaches and
Was Packed With People
who were returning home from the
Cincinnati fall festival. Conductor
David Thurlow was in charge Of the
train. The train in leaving the track
knocked down several telegraph poles,
consequently all wires are down and
advices are meager.
No explanation can be given for the
wreck. 1t was first thought that a
freight crew had left the switch open,
but there was no train on the siding at
the time. The siding is very small
one and the engine while going at a
high rate of speed easily jumped the
track. People from here on the train
report that it is one of the worst
wrecks that ever occurred on the road,
as all the coaches are more or less up
set. The postal and baggage cars
were heaped on top of the engine tank
and it will take many hours to clear
the wreck.

Farmer Wants Rest After Fifteen
Years Of Big Crops.


A. Paulson gives us the following in
formation in answer to our inquiries
concerning the report of his disposal
of his big farm and removal from tho
state:
II am Offering the farm for sale; but
it isn't on the bargain counter, by any
means. If any OF those prospective
buyers ever come up to my figures
they can have it; if not, I'll keep it..
l have been farming here for fifteen
years, and can afford to take a rest.
have never had a failure of crops. In
1883, when everything froze, my crop
was untouched and yielded twenty
bushels. have not kept track of the
yields, but am sure that the average
for the past fifteen years has been
twenty bushels per acre OF better.
North Dakota is all right, and though
seek a home in other climes, can
have nothing but praise for the state
that has yielded me such bountiful
harvests."
1t might be observed that with a
record of twenty bushels per acre for
fifteen years from one Of the biggest
farms in the county, it is no wonder
that Mr.. Paulson is tired Of making
money. and wants to take vacation.

Many men are coming across from

law enacted by our own congress, and
the tariff law, both Of which are said
to have kept good many men and
machines from coming in this year.
One man wanted to bring his machine
across, but was informed that he could
not do so unless he paid 60 per cent
duty, and he remained on his own side
or the line. This tends to prevent a
slump in the prices charged for
