Every visitor to western North
Dakota during the past few weeks
has commented upon the beautiful
character of the weather. Those
who expected to find snow or rain,
or cold, miserable weather, have
beenagreeably disappointed. Asa
matter of fact, the weather we have
been getting of late is normal
weather for this time of year. Last
fall was an exception, bringing ns
snow and cold weather early in the
Indian summer. There is no sea
son anywhere that is more health
full or pleasant than the ordinary
Indian summer Of North Dakota--
q fact that we regularly, every year
call attention to.--MandAn Pioneer.

MAKES GOOD GAS.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE &C.
logical Survey Bureau today was
notified by its experts at st. Louis
that experiments with North Da-
kota Ignite proved highly success
full. and that the quality of gas OBJ
tanned from this coal is superior to
any obtained from bituminous coal.
The engine and producer were
found in good condition after the
experiments.
It is believed here that the utili-
zation of this deposit for gas pro-
duction will revolutionize the gas
business and prove a boon for poor
people on account of it's cheapness.

Anumber of the campaign sheets
placed in the field during the re-
cent unpleasantness, have quit.
They we're started for the purpose
Of throwing mud" and not as le-
gitimate newspapers. There should
be some way of protecting the pub
lie against the campaign sheets.
The last week of the campaign we
received a circular mailed in St.
Paul containing a printed affidavit
in connection with Judge-elect
Goss, of Ward. Those who had
charge Of the afdavits must have
been ashamed of them and wanted
to cover up their tracks, or they
never would have sent them to St.
Paul. They surely done no good
over in this part of the state.

Picking Flaws.

An old gentleman in our ward has
devoted much of his precious time
to hunting for flaws in the bible.
He found some all right. You can
find some yourself if you go after
them hard enough. Spade over the
truth, throw it out of the way. and
dig around diligently enough and
you will get the flaws. They are
there for those who like them bet
ter than the truth. This is one of
the characteristics of the bible. A
man can find almost anything there
he wants to find. If he wants the
best ever found in print, he can get
it, and get great help in higher,
happier living while he is looking.
If. he wants to make himself and
other people pestllently miserable,
there is no surer way than to search
the bible for old flaws and snags,
and peddle them around to willing
and unwilling takers of such junk.
This characteristic is not pecul-
lar to the bible except in degree.
IL you want to find faults in your
wife, they are there. Look long
and hard enough and they will show
up. Look for good traits. withiann
honest eye, keep, it up for years
and you'll find finally that you have
married an angel unawares. The
same rule works in . mi ii with
your horse, your neighbor, your
president, and several other thingis.
There are inst q: fexapeopla,and
Things on earth all bad. The Al
mighty leaves a few around as hor.
riblc examples to show 10 what We
will come to if we persistently look
for the. worst ,inl the world This
world Is so wide and 90 full OF
|thlngssgood and bad and out time
|for looking so4iimite,d why should
We spend ourselves looking for the
worst of it when the hest is at hand
and pays so much better? This il
not to say that we should think all
things good and be blind to dirt
and falsehood incarnate or imma.
terial. Only this:-IThat we shall
make life more helpful, more bright
and more worth living if we recog.
nize the black side of this world In
mass, reckon with it as much as
much as possible at arms length.
keep our faces toward the light
and do our fine and diligent search.

Tons of Diamonds.

New York Sun: 1t is estimated thai the
total world production of diamonds up to
date approximates IS, 0O0,0 600 carats. AS
we are not in the habit OF weighing our
diamonds by the ton. we are in some
doubt concerning the proper system of
computation. whether troy OF ~avoirdupois,
long ton or short ton. According to the
system used by those who do weigh their
diamonds in ton quantities, the result
would be in the neighborhood OF twenty
or twenty-five tons of sparklers now APP
peartnS as factors in the joys and the
miseries of a world which has substituted
diamonds for the beads and the wampum
of its ancestors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage of their contribu-
ton appear as follows: South Africa, 81.5
per cent; Brazil. 1875 per cent, and the re-
naming 5 per cent. divided among Borneo,
India. New South Wales and British
Guiana. with North America and Russia
supplying specimens. The last two of
these countries nave furnished just about
enough TO equip an opera box for a SIN
gle evening. The deep obligation of So
ciety to South Africa Is fully apparent.
The price of diamonds has been heavily
advanced during the last year of two. but
It is simply appalling to think what the
price would nave been without the South
African supply. Society, American. Eng
lish and continental, should daily thu at
heaven for Kimberley and Lagersfcnteln.
We are unabl to give the cubic meas
Of the total collection, but so far
as weight Is concerned it would make a
load for a medium sized freight car.

The Season Is Backward and Has Re
tarded Farm Operations.

The Season Is Backward and Has Re.
tarded Farm Operations.
Huron, S. D., April 1.-THE first Off
cial crop report of weather bureau of
South Dakota section, just issued, re-
views the condition of crops.
From the 1st to the 9th of April the
seeding of wheat made very favorable
progress, and considerable oats and
some speltz were sown in the southeast
ern counties, wheat seeding being well
advanced toward completion in h ex-
IRENE southeastern n fairly general
in the northern counties. On the 7th
and 9Th. however, all but the extreme
west portion of the state was visited
by a storm OF rain. turning to snow
with high n~ortherly winds, which stop
ped field operations.
The moisture from the rain and snow
will, however. be very beneficial to the
soil, as over large areas the ground was
none too moist before, and with sea-
sonable warmth the outlook for prompt
termination OF the seed sown is very
favorable.
The snow storm, with temperature
below freezing. was severe on live stock
on the open ranges, and some local loss
OF stock Is reported.
Grass is beginning to start. but is
backward and reeds warmer weather.
Winter rye and also the very limited
amount of winter wheat WI are gem
orally reported as in favorable condi-
ton, except in q few localities.
There is no report of injury to fruit
buds by cold weather.
In the extreme southeastern counties
some potatoes have been planted and Il
little gardening has been done.

FISHING.
Most Active Campaign of Game Warden.
is Against Fishermen.

Deadwood, s.. D., April 14.-M. b.
Ocumpaugh has been r~eappointed fish
and game warden for Lawrence county,
the appointment being made by the
county commissioners at the instance
of the Lawrence County Fish and
Game Protective association. The sal
airy Is STE a month and he has the au-
thority to appoint deputy wardens as
they may be required. Mr.. Ocumpaugh
served as warden in Lawrence county
last year and waged an active cam
paign against persons violating fish and
game laws OF the state. There were q
number of prosecutions INC although
the only convictions obtained were in
minor cases, the work resulted in al
most Il total suppression OF the Of
lenses. The greatest offense against
the fish and game laws has been the
use of dynamite for killing fish in the
streams. This has threatened the total
determination of the game fish. and al
though no convictions have been OBJ
tanned owing to the difficulty of get
ting positive information, Mr.. Ocum-
paugh's work seems to nave driven the
dynamiters from the field and no new
evidences have been reported.
