CHANGE IN MARsHAL,s OFFICE.

CHANGE IN MARSHAL'S. OFFICE.
Forum: Orders just received by
Marshal Haggart from the attorney
general in Washington, directs a COM
plete reorganization of his office. All
field deputies have been discontinued,
and the entire force will operate from
Fargo hereafter.
Hon. C. N. Valentine has been aD-
pointed chief Office deputy; G.. j. Stout,
the present s~tenographer, is promoted,
and G. w. Haggart is also one OF the
new Apprentices.
1t is understood that the depart
ment has concentrated the marshal's
force in North Dakota-instead of hav-
ing district deputies-all the employees
will work from the Headquarters il
Fargo, hereafter-the marshal to ap-
point such additional deputies as may
be required to properly transact the
business from time to time.

STATE NEWS

Minot Optic: Many persons past
the. age of 80 hesitate about coming to
North Dakota to take up land think
ing that they cannot stand the hard
ships. Today A. B. Vaughn, who lis
81 years old filed on a homestead in
the western part Of Ward county neal
Welby. He came up from Pierce
county to file on the land. He in
tends living on the claim most-of the
time and hopes to see the day when
it will be worth considerable money to
him. When a man of that age can
stand the climate of North Dakota,
the tender people of the east should
take him es an example.
jamestown Alert: Henry DEFINE of
Buchanan had thirty and gone-half
bushels of wheat to the acre. and has
about 100 acres of fax on high ground
that was not hurt much by the frost
from present indications. He has
sold part of the wheat and none of
the fax, expecting to hold it over for
a better market. His idea is that Of
ether farmers, that IL, present decline
in fax prices is based on the acreate
of the northwest and the greatly de-
creased yield has not been taken into
consideration. When the returns
n all in on the flax crop, it is believed
the actual yield will not exceed that
OF last year, when there was a larger
yield on a smaller acreage.

The popular view of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many a familiar expression. We
speak of there being 'bad blood" between
people at enmity, of 'blue blood" as indicat-
ing ancestry, of ''black blood" as describing
a treacherous nature. and in many another
phrase mark our belief that in the mental
moral and physical man, "the blood is the
l1fe." The one basis of healthful, happy
and useful life is pure blood. With the blood
pure, disease has no permanent lodging
place in the system. For this reason the use

TAXING THE MARKET BASKET.

| Now comes the news that a dozer
huge warehouses are being built IL
Wisconsin for the storage of butter
cheese, eggs, potatoes and garden pro-
duce, and that warehouses for the
same purpose will be erected in the
Eastern agricultural States. J. Ogden
Armour is mentioned as the leading
spirit in this enterprise, which is suffi-
cient to explain its object. Not salts
fed with the beef squeeze, or seeing
the end of that game, these monopolists
intend to corner the other necessaries
of the table. By means of cold storage
it will be easy to create an artificia
scarcity and control prices.
A Pennsylvania exchange says: IAN
idea of what may be expected from
this scheme is given by the present
price Of eggs. The hens have been as
Industrious as ever. yet when prices,
under the ordinary law of supply and
demand should be the lowest, eggs are
almost as costly as meat"
The reason of this is that millions
of eggs have been put in cold storage.
to be held until the natural supply has
when they can be sold at
prices fixed by the monopolists. By
similar methods every item of the mar
ket basket can be brought under their
levy. That is what the vast ware
house scheme of Armour and his as
sociates contemplates, and with the
protection afforded them by the tariff,
and the license accorded these trusts
by the party in power, can there be
any question of the success of the
scheme? But could success be SO con
fidently anticipated without the duty

Deep Wells in South Dakota.

According to recent list of well bor-
ings in South Dakota over 400 feet
deep, published in No. 81 of the Water
Supply and IRRIGATION Papers of the
United States Geological Survey, out
of about $50 borings IS are over 1000
feet deep and two reach depth of
$500 feet, or nearly half mile. The
majority of these wells have strong
artesian flows, with sufficient head to
raise the water in open pipes from 100
to 500 feet above the surface. This
great pressure is used to furnish power
for a variety of purposes. At Aber-
deem thessewerage is pumped away by
power derived from an .artesian we'll ;
and elsewhere in the State electricity
is generated forshght and power pur-
poses. The power from the wells can
be easily controlled. and greatly adds
to their value; Its use does not inter-
fere with subsequent.use of the water
for other purposes.

cy, ten young men and ten young wo
men of Williamsburg have banded
themselves together under the name

Coterie." There will be fines for mem
berS who either fall in love or get mar
ried, and pensions for those who live
single until they are IS.
In order to guard against any young
man losing his heart to them the young
women members will dress plainly in

wish bone and sheaf of hay. The
boys have pipe and heaf-sharped

Miss Alexander, one of the ''old

the matter: II consider that most
marriages are failures. I've seen young
men | liked, but never saw one liked
well enough to marry. I'm going to
be an old maid. ."
A Miss Lichtenstein gave similar
reasons: Il don't think the outlook
is blue for us at ALL, she said. 1--WE
propose to show people how to be hap

One of Miss Lichtenstein g friends
broke in: Lillian, you told me you
wouldn't get married unless you could
get a lawyer or DOCTOR"
Friends of the young people believe
there will be some heavy fines to pay
before the winter is over.
