NERVOUSNESS WRECKS
A TRIO OF SISTERS
They Insist That Bandit sheik Pur-
sued Them Across GaIilee

VIENNA, June 8.-Vienna physi-
clans are puzzled by the nervous
breakdown of the three Misses Bondy,
of New York, who are now in the
Austrian capital, having reached that
city after tour of the Mediterranean.
The young women are in a medical in
stitute in Vienna, having been taken
there for observation and treatment
while laboring under great excitement
or hysteria.
Six months ago the three sisters,
who are between the ages of twenty
and thirty,-left New York for Europe
unattended for a trip to the Mediter-
ranean. They were weH supplied with
money and proffefent in European Ian
guages. A month ago they reached
Constantinople. There they met
party of Americans who obtained for
the young ladies unreliable courier to
escort them to Havre, where they pro-
posed embarking on the return voy
age.
They were evidently in a nervous
condition and told stories of an at
tempt made to kidnap them near the
pyramids and of their having been
pursued across Galilee by a bandit
sheik. They gave the impression to all
who came in contact with them that
their nerves had been considerably
shaken by their adventures, fancied or
real. On the arrival of the sisters in
Vienna their nervousness became
more marked. They evaded the
courier and moved from hotel to hotel,
declaring their lives were in danger.
Finally they called upon the police for
protection and were turned over to
the United States consul, who is hav
ing them cared for pending the arrival
Of relatives. The real cause of the
nervous breakdown is unknown.

to have been held this afternoon have
been given up because of the news re-
ceived by Mrs. Backus, principal of the

by Mrs. Backus stated that her mother,
Mrs. Haskins, was dying, and Mrs.
Backus left last night A meeting of
the graduating class was held, and it
was decided to give up the class day
out of consideration for Mrs. Backus.

Although no woman is older than
she looks, yet it is a mistake in wom-
en- of from fifty to sixty to imagine
that they make themselves look young
er by dressing like a girl of twenty
for in reality by so doing they only
attract attention to their age
For them, as well as for girls and
women of all ages. the secret of smart
dressing lies in wearing appropriate
clothes, that is, clothes that are both
appropriate for the occasion on which
they are worn and to the wearer.
For ordinary summer wear dark soft
finished taffetas, peau de sole, daintily
figured foulards, gray, lavender, black
and white organizes, muslins, nets,
etc., and all manner of thin, white
wooden materials are those most used
by fashionable dressmakers for gowns
for older women.
White is particularly pretty for
women with gray or white hair, but
very few older women can stand deli
cate coIors such as pink, blue, red or
yellow, though puppies and lavenders
are generally becoming.

half an eye he can see that within the
next five or ten years the stock and
dairy industry will be developed to
such an extent that it will remove the
necessity of relying upon the wheat
crop alone as the staple of the country.
When all these conditions are con-
sidered it is not to be wondered at
that thousands of farmers from the
Southwestern and Middle Eastern
states have disposed of their high
priced lands in a country where the
soil, already partially worked out-so
much so that it, does not produce any
thing like the revenue to be derived
from the lands in the Red River Valley
and move to that favored land where
farm home can be had for half the
price of the lands farther south Nor
is 1t to be wondered at that the tide of
immigration toward Red River Valley
should be growing stronger each year.
There are still thousands of desirable
farms left in the district, and the man
from ''the country of high priced
lands" would do well to dispose Of his
lands there and move to the district
where returns for farm labor are sure
and prolific, and where the value of
lands to be had now at low prices is
constantly increasing in value, and
that section is Eastern Polk county
Buy ticket over the Great Northern
railroad and come and look Eastern
Polk county over and you will never
return. For further particulars of this
country please write w. E. Black, of
Fosston. Mimi, who will furnish you
information by return mail.
Fosston
The town of Fosston. the principal
town of Eastern. Polk county, was or
ganized in 1888, and at present has a
population of 1900 people, and a steady
growth. Every business is represented
in the town. A large Touring mill,
with capacity of $50 barrels daily,
runs the year round. 1t has an ele-
vator with a storage capacity of 10000
bushels. Besides this there are four
other large elevators with a total ca
pacity of 100000 bushels. The Fosston
wooden mill was built in 1898, and en-
ploys about forty people the year
round. This concern uses about 10000
pounds of wool annually, and does a
business of $4,000, which is rapidly
increasing. The town has a complete
system of water works and electric
lights, with local and long distance
telephone systems, The town has a
creamery, large hospital, three banks,
several hotels, a cigar factory, a week
ly newspaper, a credit to any town or
county, a large number of general
stores and businesses of all kinds: five
churches, and thorough and efficient
graded school system, with a high
school under state supervision; eight
teachers are employed. The high
school of Fosston is of great advan-
tage, as scholars from the surrounding
country are admitted free to the high
school in accordance with the state
law, in return for the appropriation
Of $1,000 which is made to all high
schools. Fosston has fine postoffice
and free delivery routes run into the
country.

The illustration shows a smart gown
of gray taffeta made with nine gored
skirt, cut with a decided flare at the
bottom and trimmed by six narrow
pinked out ruches of the same silk.
The blouse is shirred both back and
front to the depth Of a deep yoke, and
this is outlined by a ruche like those
on the skirt.
The cape's foundation is of the same
gray taffeta as the gown, and it is cut
to form a point both in the back and
in the front, but is quite short over
the arms
On this is mounted a yoke, cut
square over the shoulders of gray
Cluny lace lined with ivory white silk,
and below this is a finely plated ruffle
of the taffeta headed and edged. by a
pinked out ruche of the same.
The rest of the cape is made of al
ternate bands of gray Cluny lace over
white silk and plated ruff1e of taffeta
and the bonnet is of gray horsehair
braid trimmed with violets and gray
gauze loops.

The farmer seems to be more inter-
ested in the corn crop than any other.
1t Is only recently that people began to
think that corn could be raised in North
Dakota and Northern Minnesota. At
almost every institute in the valley
this present year, excellent reports are
received from successful corn grow
ers. Fodder is raised very extensively
and is used as food for horses and cat
tie on large scale. Corn has ma
tured in so many places in recent
years, and when we consider that corn
so readily adjusts itself to environ
ments, we have reason to believe th.St
corn will soon be very safe crop to

So HE Thirteen Towns" is the
name by which the eastern
portion of Polk county, Minnesota, is
known. lit is located upon the eastern
edge of the farfamed Red river valley,
and embraces, as it's name implies,
about thirteen townships, which were
formerly a part of the Red Lake and
White Earth Indian reservations. These
townships were opened for settlement
in the year 1883 and 1884.
Since that time and during the year
1896 other townships lying to the north
and east were also opened for settle
ment. In many features the general
character of the country is not unlike
that of the so-called Park Region of
Minnesota, except the soil in this Sec
ton is deeper and richer, and there is
