Not long ago large clothing house

what is the proper dress for a groom

The clerk who opened the mail re-

partment dictated a brief reply:
"Bottle-green coat, fawn-colored
trousers, with top boots, silk hat with

EMMONS COUNTY ADVANTAGES
An Excellent Region for Diversified Farm
ing and Stock Raising Railroads are
Becoming Active.

The last issue Of the Fargo Record
speaks of Emmons county as follows:
The county OF Emmons Is situated
on the Missouri river, Immediately
south of Burleigh county and within q
days drive of the capital Of the state,
from ever remote parts Of the county.
Three lines Of railroad are struggling
for the mastery of the situation in the
county. The 500 line was completed
through the county and to Bismarck,
the capital Of North Dakota, in the
fall of 1902. A branch line of the 500
enters the southwest corner and is CON-
pleted to Winona. The Milwaukee &
st. Paul has extended its line from Eu-
reka, S. D., to Linton, and will build
on to Bismarck, where it owns valua-
BILE property for treminal station and
yards. The Northern Pacific has grad
ed a line from Mckenzie to Linton, and
Is about to iron the same, and for the
present the Milwaukee will reach Bis
marck over that line.
The surface of EmmOns county is
generally rolling, with tablelands,
buttes and morainic hills, on the slopes
of which. and sometimes in the basins,
there ar scattering boulders. The soil
is extremely fertile, and is of great
depth, and, being in the track of the
chinook winds and on a western slope,
the land is well adapted to corn. But
for the corn found by Lewis and
Clarke. in this region. when they ex
plored the country 100 years ago, the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1903-05-14

development of the graf west would
have been stayed many years. 1t was
a corr country then. The early set
tiers grew corn almost exclusively for
many years, and Emmons was many
years the banner corn county in North
Dakota, only Burleigh and Morton ap-
preaching it in Importance. Wheat
and fax are grown with great success,
and oats and barley attain their high
est excellence in this county; 46
pounds to the bushel for oats, 80 being
standard, and GA for wheat. are not un-
usual weights for grain.
Lime cliffs 500 feet high, broken
down. ground up by glacial action, and
mixed with the soil of this county is
one of the leading elements. Some OF
the lime boulders are still lying on the
surface, and are readily burned into
lime. There are many basins, once
glacial lakes, where there is an accum-
ulation of the best soil on earth, and
plateaus and valleys formed by gla-
cial action, affording most excellent
meadows and farming lands.
Until the last year Emmons county
has been isolated from railroads, and
the attention of its early settlers was
devoted almost exclusively to stock
growing. The wild grasses cur on
the prairies before frost, and remain
in the condition of hay all winter.
And when the spring showers and sun-
shine come they commence growing
again. They do not fall into decay
when touched by autumn frost.

Victoria, B. C., May 30. = Advices re- ceived by the steamer Tartar from Pe- kin state that Prince Ping has rendered his resignation on the ground of ill health, but the emperor and empress dowager refused to accept it and in- structed him to recuperate. Telegrams were sent to Pekin urging that China de- clare war against Russia and protest her rights.
 The students, 1900 in number, offered to form a battalion of volunteers. Nikolas Kolesoff of the Russian legation at Pekin, in an interview says that Russia intends to keep 3O,0O0 troops in Manchuria as railroad guards, towns being built along the railroads and military centers estab- lished.

GRAND JURORS
 MAKE FINAL REPORT
ANOTHER INDICTMENT IS RE- TURNED AGAINST CURTIS LETT, CHARGING AssAssINATIoN-IN- INSPIRATIONS STILL ON.

Jackson, Ky, May 3O.-The grand jury made its final report at 5:SO o'clock this afternoon, returning another indictment against Curtis Jett, charging him with another assassination.
 The manner of killing James Cockrill, the town marshal, and of J. B. Marcum the attorney, for contestants for county offices, was identical, the assassin using the courthouse for shelter and shooting his victim in the back in both cases.
 Witnesses have now told the grand jury that they saw Jett In the act of commit ting both crimes. Neither of these cases had been probed into until this special term of court. The indictment returned today formally charged Jett with Cock rills murder, and the indictment of Wednesday with Marcum's murder. a few words of thanks for It's service.
 The last indictment was probably direct ly due to the testimony this afternoon of Capt. John E. Patrick, who came here from Cattletsburg today to testify. He has been an exile from Breathitt since shortly after Cockrill was killed last July, when 1t became known that he had seen the assassin.
 Prosecutor Byrd said tonight that the next grand jury which will be empanelled Monday would continue the investigation into the Marcum and Cockrill assassina- tions and that he had anticipated other indictments.

 "Peruna is a decided beautifier, bet ter than any paint or powder, for it gives you that clear, smooth complex ion and the glow of health which no cosmetic can ever initiate. I was troubled for several years with humor of the blood, which infiamed the skin and at times covered my face with pimples and blotches. I had pains in my head, back and limbs, and was con stipated. took 1.eruna, and in a short time all was changed.

HORSE SHOW AS SEEN BY
 THE BASEBALL REPORTER

for the last round will be The Lamb, Dragoon. The Arrow Thistledown and St. Lawrence. Now wouldn't that jar the left over fruit?
 The Lamb led of with a three-saek swing and came down from third like eatapult. Over the fence he went, but his foot hit the plank and the umpire called 1t a foul. Everybody rushed on the field. but the umpire simply smiled and had the fence rebuilt. He put St. Lawrence out of the game for raising a protest and fined him s2.5o. Next came Dragoon and he made clean hit to cen- ter, landing two feet over the plank and the fans went wild. Then came The Arrow and though he made tip foul, the um- pire called it a strike, and as the blanks didn't fall, he was safe. Thistledown was next at the bat and what he did to that fence was a plenty. He went over it like a dollar over a dime and the rest of the bunch bore a resemblance to tribe of selling platers
 The White Jackets then built another fence and went the crowd one better by
 
 the thing 8 foot higher. The players all got back and The Arrow took good run- ming start and anchored on first without trouble. All the others followed suit and the foreign element scored four runs before the crowd had time to faint.
 Back went the dingies to the slag pile and higher went the fence. This time she was put up to the limit. Down the road came The Arrow in canter. Bing, bang, rip, crack, went the fenceh and the whole works were put out of business. The string of blanks looked like bunch of winter kindling, but the liverymen got busy and built another fence. Arrow got another show for his money and he went over to the good. He made foul tip but the umpire didn't hear 1t and the other side stood for the decision. The Lamb took another shot at the string of blanks but the best he could do was to pop one up to center, and the crowd went wild with excitement. He was put out of the game for interference and Dragoon came up next He hit for clean three-base rap and ran the bases like a deer. Thistle Down brought him in with drive over the fence for four sacks, and the game was won The umpire had to tell the sore-headed bunch In the bleachers that the fire was out, and everybody made a break for the cars.
 Of all the rotten games this was the limit, and there was enough time be- tween the innings to give the pitchers a chance to warm up. It was something Ff4l.. cations from the fans who wanted their money back. but the office had closed and there was nothing doing
