WYNDMERE.

This town is in the western part of
Rlchland county, at the junction of the
Northern Pacific and 500 roads. 233
miles from st. Paul. Wyndmere was
laid out by the N. P. Co. in 1883 and
given Its present name, which has no
local significance, being of English ORR
gin, there being postoffice of the same
name in the Canadian Northwest and
mail for the two occasionally get mixed.
The town was originally located a half
mile west of the present site. but in
1899 it's citizens agreed with the people
of Moselle, little town on the 500,
three miles southeast to combine at
the junction of the two roads, and the
result is the present thriving commu-
nifty. The census of 1900 shows a popu-
lation of H. but it is now over $50, and
this is easily proven by the fact that
there are two banks, three grain eIeva-
tors, two hotels, newspaper, an $4,000
school house of four rooms now being
built, and no less than twenty-five
business houses and shops of various
kinds.
Tributary to it is a fine agricultural
country, extending far into Richland,
Sargent and Ransom counties. The
elevators of Wyndmere last year ham
died over 100000 bushels of wheat, be-
sides oats, fax, corn, etc, running into
"
live stock and various other products
of the farm coming to market, gives
the locality large yearly income. Sub
stantial farm houses and barns are to
be seen in all directions, while the town
itself has a class of structures bespeak-
ing the taste and financial ease of the
occupants. There is not shack in this
town, nor a shabby or implanted build
ing.
The Pioneer is a home print paper,
now entering it's fifth year. The pub
Usher, G. G. Klenzing, is also postmas-
ter and a dealer in general merchan-
disc. H c. Young is editor and con-
ducts it in manner that gives it high
standing in the state.
W. H. Harker came in 1884 and has
raised four crops with no general fail
ure in all that time. Last year he took
$500 worth of oats from fifty seven
acres adjoining the town. This year
his farm brought So an acre rental, or
5 per cent on a valuation of 500 an
acre. Corn on his farm this year from
Indiana dent variety was fully ripen-
ed, the ears running from ten to twelve
inches long, and the year has been one
Of the most unseasoVable since he has
lived here. Mr.. Harker is townsite
agent and has list of farms for sale.
He is a native of Dubuque county,
Iowa.
The Bank of Wyndmere was opened
In 1899, with w. L. Carter, president,
H. J. Hagen, vice president, and E. l..
Haney. cashier. Its officers are asso-
ciated with other banks in the state
and are financially strong. Mr.. Haney
is in active control and has made him
self popular by the interest manifested
in the upbuilding of the town.

LIDGERWOOD.

This town has its name from a
former citizen of Mankato, Mimi, and
took a place on the map In 1885. 1t has
connection with the world through the
Great Northern and 500 railways. It
is now the second town in size and
Importance in the county. The popu-
lation at this time pushes close UP to.
1000. 1t lies between the tracks of the
two railways, on a gently rolling hill,
with drainage in all directions, while
stretching away to the horizon are
fields and pastures which form the
basis of the towns prosperity. What
impresses every visitor is the substan-
tial character of the business houses
and residences, few towns in the state
of the same size having so many pretty
homes. A feature in which the town

a very satisfactory demand for the strictly thick,
fat cattle in their class. Any that answered
that description found a quick outlet at fully

did not realize any quotable improvement over
yesterday. Sales on paper will look higher than
they have for several days, but this Is on ae-

LOYAL FOX TERRIER.


NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-In a gloomy, old
fashioned house in Dean street, Brook
Ign. the police, who battered down the
door, have found the body of Mrs. Marga-
ret May lying on bed in an upper room.
At her feet lay the body of fox terrier
dog. Until recently the old house had been
a Mecca for the poor of that quarter. Since
the death of Mrs. Mays husband who
was quite wealthy, the woman had dis
tributed charity to all who applied. She
had not been seen for at least mouth
and weeds had grown high in the usually
well-kept garden, where she had formerly
spent much time. Finally alarmed at her
non-appearance, the neighbors notified the
police. and the doors were broken open.
The woman had been dead nearly month,
evidently from natural causes, but the lit
tie dog had never quilted his vigil and
died from starvation.

IA. r. Thompson Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The action of the
market seems to indicate that the present
is not an opportune time for activity look
ing to higher prices, as when liquidation
occurs the buying power does not seem
sufficient to prevent material declines. The
market opened strong this morning with
conditions favorable for further better
ment of prices, but the execution of heavy
selling orders in Steel and Il. r. T. brought
about a prompt reversal of posi-
ton on the part of traders. The liquidation
in steel has been more or less evident for
several days, the reason given being that
unfavorable developments i'm the iron mar
ket and the report that the Steel Corpora
tons bookings of orders are at present ap-
probably less than last year.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-There was almost
q repetition of yesterdays dizziness in
stocks. The opening was about the high
est Atchison, at 67ls, rallied trifle, while
Rock Island and st. Paul sold down n
from first prices. Later there was
some small selling of Atchison. The mar
ket was a dragging affair and the DISPOSE
ton TO await the governments report on
corn was the controlling feature. The
market was irregular and without feature.
with the exception of United States Steel.
The old cry of yesterdays dividend would
be the last had the effect of creating a
selling movement and considerable steel
of both issues came upon the market. The
fact that steel and iron are the barometers
of the market is never lost sight of and
the bears always attempt TO depress Steel
to influence the list. Judging from to-
days grain market and the weather the
crop is abundant and rails" will sooner
or later reap the benefit. Earnings con-
tnue favorable. Crops must be hauled.
Buy moderately and wait for the activity
