Holland Settlement.

Steele Ozone: Within the past year
an entirely new element has been add.
ed to the settlement of Kidder county,
this being the arrival of number Of
Hollanders, who have located in the
east side of the county, north of Tap
pen, in 141-70. They come from Iowa,
about Sheldon, and we believe DR.. w.
H. Myers was the pilot who spied out
the country for them. A few claims
were taken last year and the owners
came in this spring. At present
Messrs. John DeKray, B. Villenga, B.
De Geystra, Michael Neestraa, Henry
Hamengaa and Mrs. Neestraa compose
the settlement, but number of others
will move hither, some of them this
fall when their crops in Iowa are dis
posed of. Geo. McKenna also has
land in the vicinity, but has been un-
able to get his family away from Iowa
this summer. Nearly all purchased
lands of the Hackney-Boynton COM
pany, and are we'll located and highly
pleased with the prospects and with
the country generally. The Holland.
ers are uniformly we'll to do, and no
better or more desirable citizens can
be acquired from any place.
Incidentally it may be mentioned
that recently a gentleman who has in
terests in this county was inquiring if
there were any Hollanders in the coun
ty, as he was in touch with a number
who wished to settle where they might
have friends of their own nationality,
or at least descendants Of that peo-
pie. In South Dakota we lived near a
neighborhood the members of which
came directly from the old country,
but were nearly all familiar with Eng
lish, some of superior education. One
of them, Mr.. Hawaarden, was re-
tired admiral of the Dutch navy.
There is large settlement in Emmons
county.

Emmons County Record: Gerrit
Brummel and Peter Boschker were up
from the Westfield country last Tues.
day with loads of wool. Gerrit visited
the Record office to pay for his paper
and to hold powwow with the editor.
He says this is mighty good country
He settled in the Westfeld neighbor-
hood eighteen years ago, at which time
he had a sole interest in IA cents in
cash and red cross-eyed steer This
year he got $3.50 from 400 sheep; sold
$3.50 worth of lambs; received 1915 for
horses; had little wheat, for which
he received $3.50; and the hay he sold
brought in $120. He has 720 acres in
fence. He has in this year so acres
of wheat, 20 acres speltz, 10 acres
barley and go acres corn. Besides, he
raises many turkeys each year, which
add quite bit to his income, and ne
keeps chickens and geese. He can
pay all his debts this year and have
his farm, stock and other property
left. But there is one fly in Gerrit's
ointment, he says. There's no woman
on the place, which he thinks there
should be on every well-regulated and
successful farm. He requests the
editor to annouce that he will give a
reward to said editor, or to any other
man who assists him in capturing the
desired helpmate, 8 turkey gobblers, 2
ROSTERS and 1 gander. The editor ac-
cepted the offer, provided the gobblers
and the gander were brought in with
their legs fettered and their jaws
properly muzzled; and this notice is in
the nature of an advertisement for the
desired article. The only specification
that Mr.. B. makes is that the lady is
not victim of the snoring habit, and
that she will use the broom only in
sweeping the floors. Under these
specifications, bids are hereby invited.

FINEST EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS

North Dakota has the finest exhibit
in the immense agricultural building
at the Worlds Fair" Such was the
positive statement made a few DAYS
ago by H. c. Stoltze, manager of the
Stoltze Lumber Co., at Edmore, on
his return from the st. Louis exposi-
ton. ITO be convinced of my state
ment all one has to do is to stand near
the exhibit and hear the comments
made by people from all over the
world. The invariable expression,
There's The best state exhibit we
have seem is heard time and time
again. know for stood and listened
to the remarks.
"The headquarters for the North
Dakota folks is the most home-like on
the grounds Lieut. Gov. Bartlett and
Assistant Gushing are active in look
ing after the interests of people of
the state and if there is the slightest
complaint it is certainly not their
fault.
'Word of the criticism which has
been directed against the exhibit and
managers has reached st. Louis but
they are not paying the least attention
to it. The fact of the matter is, the
exhibit was not nearly complete when
the newspaper boys were down there,
and no allowance was made for that.
No, however, no just complaint can be
made in regard to anything pertaining
to North Dakota's exhibit The man
ner in which the samples of grain
have been arranged and fixed up Is
most surprising. Great pains have
been put forth in this direction and
the result speaks for itself It will be
found that visitors from the fair from
now on will have nothing but words of
praise to sing for the manner in when
they have been treated by the North
Dakotans, and the amount of interest
taken in the exhibit, the credit for
which is directly due to the official
representatives Of the state who have
been working night and day for sever
al months. For one, 1 was proud of
the showing made by the state"

ULATION SUFFER FROM ONE
PAINFUL AILMENT.

Think what this means. Imagine the
amount of misery that exists and is endured
simply because people do not know there is
an absolute cure.
The only way to cure any complaint is to
remove the cause. There are very few dis
eases or ailments that can be cured by ex-
ternal application-and piles is not one of
them. Piles can be cured; the treatment
must, however, be internal, for the cause of
piles is an internal disorder of the liver or
the bowels. Even catarrh of the stomach
and bowels can be cured by DR.. PERKINS,

of the United States district court, to
Investigate charges that in the last cam
paign certain election officers intimi--
dated the voters, made improper use
of Identification marks and otherwise
destroyed the secrecy of the ballot, re-
ported today that they found no evil
dence which would warrant them in
dieting any person for violating the
federal laws.
The minority Of six separately re-
ported to Judge Dole that they found
sufficient evidence to justify conviction
of those charged with the offenses COM
planned of, but that the majority of
the grand jury refused to continue the
Investigation, which it is alleged by
the minority would probably expose
more fraudulent practices in the late
election. The minority members ex-
press the belief that the territorial ad-
ministration was responsible for the
nom reinforcement of the law and recon-
mend amendments by congress so that
the secrecy of the ballot shall be pro-
tected. In the late election, they say,
there was practically no secrecy, and
hence intimidations were rendered
easy.

lieved that the company can. Tor the
privileges granted, we'll afford TO pay
the tax, as in such case the prosperity
Of the company would mean the pros
perity of the city.
E. A. Paradis appeared for the Mer-
rianl Park district, contending that the
company should be willing to pay the

company has never bettered It's service
except when forced to do so by the
city. He did not believe that che c1ti-

promise with the company unless this
is agreed to, particularly as all the I'M

are for it's benefit.

Doran said that he was not prepared
to say that the proposition would not
be modified, but did not believe that it
would be materially changed.
