CATCHING SUCKERS.

Davenport News: A-couple of
sucker catchers have made the village
Of Davenport their headquarters the
past two days. This pair sell bundles
of dry goods and groceries to farmers
at what they term bargain prices.
These men are doing business on their
own hook. They have hired a driver
to take them around in their search
for suckers. When one stops to
think that these men pay freight on
their bundles into town, then pay
board at hotels, pay for a livery team,
and give a driver So a day, it's not
easy to see just how they can sell
good goods at bargain prices. The
fact is, they cannot. Then what do
they do? The answer is easy. They
palm off cheap and inferior goods on
un%suspecting victims. During the
past two winters because crops were
light in this section of country and
the farmers had little money-the
grafters gave us a wide berth. But
last fall a better crop was harvested
in the Red River Valley, and farmers
again have some money-so the graf
ter is again on deck. It seems a
shame that the cash trade which be-
longs to home merchants who carry
SO many people on their books during
tight years-should now be diverted
by the representations of smooth
tongued fakirs-who do nothing in
return for the people but fleece them.
1t would be a piece of logic beyond
the pale Of criticism that the mer-
chant who lives among us and pays
his taxes, is entitled to preferential
treatment.

ALMOST A CERTAINTY.

Buffalo Express: The passage of the
bill opening the Fort Totten Indian
reservation up near Devils Lake is
considered as almost a certainty, and
it is expected that the proclamation
opening it for settlement will be made
early next summer. This reservation
contains, exclusive of erroneous sur
vey in 1875, 342, $50 acres or about
2, 100 claims of 1850 acres each, deduct
ing the amount of the allotment to the
Indians, leaves a balance of 1870, 416
acres or a little ver 1000 claims of 100
acres each; of this there will proba-
bly, be a tract of 900 acres in the
northeast corner of the reservation,
known as Sulley Hill, reserved by the
government and set aside as a pub
lie park.

Bismarck Palladium; From Brain
erd, Mimi, comes the notwithstanding
story of two mothers who locked their
little children in at-home alone, while
they attended a dance with their hus-
bands; and as the whirl of the dance
was at it's dizziest pitch a messenger
boy came rushing in with the news
that the house in which the little ones
were sleeping, was burning. And
when these unmotherly mothers and
unfatherly fathers arrived at the
scene of the holocaust they were greet
ed by the sight Of the charred bodies
Of the dead children borre from the
ruins in the arms of the flemen.
Those parents will now be able to
dance undisturbed by sach disquiet-
ing announcements-if an indignant
community does not rise up in right
eous wrath and mete to them the pun
ishment they so richly deserve. Fan
better for the innocent victims that
they were thus called from this world
Of strife than to be reared by such
unnatural parents.

Ignite RATES.

Crookston Times: The rates which
the Great Northern has made on lig-
mite coal shipped from the mines in
North Dakota to this city is going to
work a revuoltion in the local coal
market. They have been so high
heretofore that they were almost pro-
hibitive, and in fact at times the
company has refused to furnish cars
at all. Now all of this is done away
with by the new special rate, which
will allow the local dealers to sell the
best Washburn Ignite at from 81 to
81. so. At the above figure the dealer
can make as much out of a ton of coal
as he can of the anthracite or bitumi-
nous Goals of the east.
"There have been a number of
stoves patented for burning this lig-
mite coal which gives better and more
satisfactory results than bituminous, -
said a local dealer this morning.
some ton of it properly burned has
more heating properties than a ton Of
bituminous. The only difficulty is tc
get a stove which will burn the gases
which escape from it in great profu
sion. These stoves also burn it with.
out odor.'

boys would remain in school and get
discipline and power through con-

tant principle in education from pri-
mary school to university that the
greater the visible attachments for a
given amount of labor the better.
If a boy is trained to exercise his
choice in the High School he will ex-
ercise it more wisely in after life. If
a boy is carefully guided to select and
work in those subjects which he likes
and in which he is strong, the
chances are he will strike his right
sphere in life. He will enjoy his
work. He will fulfil Cardinal
Wiseman's dream-the artist devel-
oping from the artisan. For Hubert
tells us: "Art is the expression of
ones joy in his work"
This joy in work this finding of
daily happiness in labor, is the es-
sence of all that is best in life.
High Schools car in no way better

people than by guiding them with a
kindly hand to those callings for
which nature fitted them, in which
they will find their greatest hap
piness and society the greatest services.

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emu!-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

today is SO cents-a decrease of "a
cents. Those who stored their flax
in line elevators have had 3 cents
storage to pay, which makes their
total loss 81 cents. One of the banks
at Churchs Ferry claims to have loan
ed $40, 900 on stored fax. Those who
have borrowed money have had inter
est to pay in addition to storage and
their total loss is not far from 80
cents per bushel. 1t is pretty tough.
The outlook a for higher market is not
encouraging, and it is likely the
acreage sown to fax this year will
be about half what it was last year.
