WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels. candy, flowers, man-that is
the order of woman's preferences.
Jewels form magnet of mighty power
to the average woman. Even that great
es tot all jewels, health, is often ruined
in the strenuous efforts to make or save
themo ney to purchase them. If wo-
man will risk her health to get acoveted
gem, then let her fortify herself against
the insiduous consequences of coughs,
colds and bronchial affections by the
regular use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest con-
sumption in its 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 a
certain cure for coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get this
reliable remedy at Donovan & Co.'S drug
store. Price Is cents and Is cents.

Arbor Day Proclamation.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..

STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
In accordance with the established
custom of setting apart day in spring
for the general planting of trees, I do
hereby designate
FRIDAY, MAY l, 1903,
Arbor Day for the State of North Dakota.
The value of trees and forest growth in
promoting the beauty and comfort of
our homes and public grounds, and their
economic Importance, is beyond estima-
ton. The observance of Arbor Day does
much to impress this value and import
ance upon our people, and especially to
instruct and to stimulate the planting
of trees by the younger generation.
Last year recommended the planting
of Mckinley elm on the grounds of
each school and public institution. Let
us this year add another memorial tree
to commemorate the originator of Arbor
Day, the Honorable j. Sterling Morton.
Plant not many trees, but plant them
as living thing that must be fondled
and nurtured in it's infancy.

MOSCOW.

Miss Malta Ruud, is out here from
Fairfax, MIMI, for visit during the
summer at the home of her sister Mrs.
G. Amoth.
1t is much to be regretted that the
Moscow post office has been discontinued.
1t is the hope of all patrons that it
will he re-established at an early date.
Among the realty transfers of recent
date we learn that Mrs. G. STRAIN has
sold her farm in this vicinity, the pur
chaser being E. A. Hill, who has for
some time past been living on the Sundt
place.
Wheat seeding was about all finished
up here on Saturday of last week and
many of the farmers have got a
good start on blowing land left over from
last fall and will put in big sized crop
of oats.
The spring term of school opened on
the Goth inst, in the new school house,
the teacher being Miss Mathilda Ruud.

good and there is every prospect that
the new teacher will become a popular
favorite with both the children and the
people of the community as we'll.
Matthias Thompson and j. o. Enger
have within the past few days returned
from land hunting trip. They went
out on trip on the Yorkton branch
through the Assinaboia country, but re-
turned under the impression that that
section of the Canadian Northwest did
not offer them sufficient inducements to
sell their Cavalier county farms and
move out there and locate.
The Bauer Bros. and Miss Mary Bauer
are making preparations to move from
here to Assinaboia, N. w. T., expecting
< to leave here about the middle of this
r week. From what we hear it appears
that the boys have succeeded in obtain
/ ing considerable amount of land on the
S other side of the line and will put in the
e summer in getting it broke up for cul
tivation. However, they are not selling
j, their farms here in Moscow township
Y and it is likely will in the long run con
y tinue to be residents of Cavalier county
for number of years to come.

that Mortified also has blind pig, but
as your correspondent has not seen it he
cannot say as to the authenticity of the
statement either relative to the porker,
or the rumored defect in its sight.
Peter Waldo has traded farms with his
father-in-law, Abraham Fast, who came
here quite recently from Minnesota and
got $1,000 to boot in the trade, there be-
ing no buildings on the Fast place. Mr.
Waldo has since turned around and sold
the Fast place to Isaac Friesen of Weber
township for $500. The store Waldo
built last summer was not included in
the deal. He intends to move it into the
nearest town along the new road as soon
as the rails have been laid this far north
west and use it for warehouse. He is
going into the general merchandise
business for good.
In the matter of politics it may be
mentioned that Jacob Envy has refused
to qualify for justice of the peace and
will be succeeded to that office by the
appointment of William Ellenbaum to
fill out the term, the selection made be-
ing the unanimous choice of the township
board. 1t is to be hoped that our bache-
lor boys will hurry up and give him
something to do in the way of adjusting
the matrimonial moose before his term of
office expires. Ministers are scarce
around here and this may help out the
business along this line with his honor
Judge Ellenbaum.
Joe Bjornson did not show up until a
week later than he was expected and
when he did come he did not stay very
long. 1t is understood that he has rent
ed a big farm down in the Valley near
to Mountain post office and that he
has rented his farm here to Henry Dick
man, who put in a contest against Joe
last fall. Mr.. Dickman has also bought
quarter section in Trier township from
G. G. Neufelt, who lately moved away
from here, back to his former home at
Mountain Lake, MINI. G. G. Neufelt
and wife left here on the 9Th of the
month, accompanied by their little son,
born few weeks before. They have
the best wishes of many friends and ac-
quaintances in this vicinity.

Miss Maggie Indridason is here from
the Valley visiting with her father and
brother for short tine.
The spring term of school opened here
in School House No. s. next to Klein,
on the 22nd of the month.
A. Wall has purchased the farm of Joe
Ray for consideration of $500. we
understand. This is "a pretty good figure
for bachelors homestead.
B. Bjornson has rented his farm in
Weber township and has left for Mani
toba to look after his real estate interests
there. which consists of two hundred
acre farm near Selkirk.
Sam Indridason has bought barn
over in Weber from Barney Bjornson
and moved it onto his farm here. Sam
seems to be enjoying himself better up
here since he got the team and good
barn on his place.
S. Sveinson and S. johnson, who came
up here from the Valley, are engaged
along with Tn. Thorfnnson as the
builders of a big barn that Dedrick
Isaac is putting up on his place half
mile south from Klein.
The state of Washington did not i'm
press Fred Hawell very favorably. He
is back again and says that the weather
out there is altogether too dry to suit
him and he does not like the appearance
of the country generally.
Merchant Peter Waldo had a public
auction sale at his place on the 25th of
the month, at which he disposed of his
farm implements and live stock. Henry
Dickman has bought the farm and will
give up working at the carpenter trade
tosettle down and become prosperous
hayseed of the North Dakota type.
Peter Wolf was married last Sunday,
that is on the 18th inst, to Miss Lena
Peters, both of Klein. The happy couple
will make their home on the farm of Jes-
ley Olson, which Pete has rented for a
year, as we have previously stated. The
boys struck it all right when they
guessed that Wolf had some scheme in
his head in connection with this renting.
Didn't they? We all join in wishing them
happy life.
Mrs. Jacob Ewy returned about a
month ago from visit to her brother
who lives in Whitman county, Washing
ton, and her opinion of that country
seems to be altogether different to that
expressed by their neighbor Fred Ha-
well and will very likely result in bring
ing her husband around to seeing
things the way she does, in which case
we stand to lose another most excellent
family from this neighborhood.
The farmers are all busy sowing their
grain and quite few have got all their
wheat sown. The biggest of the hust-
lers around here started to disc and har-
row as early as April the 7th. The
weather has been very favorable ever
since, and today, April 23rd, we are en-
joying the first rain of the season that
has been of any account. Farmers out
this way are sowing bigger acreage of
wheat than ever before and flax seems
to be taking a back seat this year.
Mortified is getting ready for the
railroad. A fair sized hotel, a restau-
rant and bank are all in course of cree
ton at the present time. Two general
stores are already doing business there.
There is also one hardware and furni-

The clerical work connected with the
decision of the Port Receipts Contest
has been completed and checks have been
mailed to all parties who are entitled to
receive them. 1t was not a small work
to prepare the vouchers and draw the
checks and check everything up properly
for each successful contestant. 1t in

number of times correcting addresses
initials and other details that had been
overlooked in the first work and in the
printed list of successful contestants.
All who have received their checks
are requested to sign and return at once
the voucher that accompanied the check
The voucher must not be mutilated or de-
faced in any way, but is simply to be
dated, signed and sent back SO our cashier
may file 1t as his final record Of the trans
action. The vouchers were numbered
from ono straight through for the entire
number issued on the contest and we hope
within a month to have a complete num-
bered file duly receipted and dated. show

share of the money distributed
We had hoped to be able to announce
the result of the agents contest in this
issue but find that there are some of
the smaller prizes stun to be decided in
that contest and we deferred the publca-
ton for another week. This contest was
q very important one and the work done
in 1t was very much appreciated and will
be duly rewarded. We trust our agents
know The Constitution well enough not
to become impatient because the clerical
work of the ether contest has kept our
office force so engaged that the details
of the announcement of the agents con
