Joe Hartman, one Of our most
prosperous farmers. living 4 miles
south Of Kuhn, returned Mooday
from a five weeks visit to the
worlds fair at st. Louis and points
in southern Illinois, near Litch6eld,
says the Kuhn Messenger.
Mr.. Hartman says that he visited
several farms near Litchfeld, and
attended some auct ion sales, and
from what he saw there he thinks
that N. D. farmer makes q dollar
as easy as an Illinois farmer can make
twenty-five cents. Joe says that an
Illinois farmer asked him how much
difference he would give him between
his Illinois farm and Hartman's
North Dakota farm. and Joe told
him he would not trade even with
him, Notwithstanding that such
land in Illinois is valued at 500 per
acre. for after he and the Illinois
farmer had compared notes on
amount of grain raised, Joe says that
he raises more to the acre one year
with another than the Illinois man
Mr.. Hartman returns from his trip
better satisfied with his North

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

+ COMMERCIAL CL U b MEETING.
The Commercial club meetiag was
held Thursday at the council room,
andsa short session was held owing. to
the lack OF attendance, and 70 the
uncomfortable atmosphere OF the.
room. The matter Of the Rresbys
terian college was discussed at some
length, and 1t was found owing to the
shortness of the time, and the busy
season, accurate information about
the repairs needed on the college
building could not be obtained at
present.. A committee Of the club
~as designated to act with Rev.
Davis and Alfred Dickey to meet the
committee from the Presby terian
synod and entertain them while here.
Also to offer them all facilities possi-
ble for getting information in regard
to the building. location etc. James
town citizens will put the college
building in repair in case the college
is again established here. The matter
Of an easy grade to the college build
ing was also discussed, and several
suggestions made, to obviate an OBJ
lection that has been raised against
the use of the building, viz: Its
location on the elevation north Of
tile city. 1t is said that B. S. Russell
has offered to give the use of lot
for the approach to the building.
and covered stairway leading to the
front OF the building was also sug-
gested as desirable. in case the
project is pushed to completion.
The memDrs of the club, as we'll as
other citizens not members. are
interested In this matter, and it is
hoped that something permanent caD
come from the visit Of the committee
in the next week.
The matter of the poor telephone
service that Jamestown has, was
taken up by the club, and also dis.
cussed at some length. 1t was sug
gested that the city council look into
the matter, as their authority ex-
tends to the same on account of the
franchise granted to the company.
The club adjourned to meet at the
call of the president, and it is prob
able, that after the first Of the year
when business men have more iei-
sure, a number of matters relating to
the welfare of the city will be taken
up and pushed to completion.
The necessity Of pleasant COM
Portable room is becoming more
apparent at each of these meetings.

HERD BOY KILLED.

The.S year old son Of A. A. Sache,
who lived with his parents on the
ranch belonging to DR.. DePuy, near
the foot of Jim Lake, met with
an accident that caused his death
Wednesday. The lad was riding a
pony, herding cattle, when by some
means he fell of, and his foot caught
in the stirrup. The pony dragged
the boy for long distance, and the
lad being unable to free himself, was

SpECULA'TORS OUT BID.

W. E. Coats of the state school
land board has been holding sales in
Griggs, Ransom and Barnes counties
and there was spirited bidding on
nearly every tract offered.
Every tract advertised in Barnes
county sold at good price, and in
Griggs all but a few tracts of the
poorest land. More poor land was
advertised in Ransom county and
the average was not quite as good.
A pertinent feature Of the sales was
the abundance of money IN the
pockets Of the farmers who out bid
the speculators at every turn. The
aggregate receipts from the three
sales to the permanent school funds
from the one-ifth of purchase price
paid at sale is s7O,34O.0O, the total
purchase price being 1851, 1000 and
total acres sold 225, ,532, prices as
follows:

Barnes. $3.50 $l6.3l

Most of the land sold was struck

twenty-five dollars per acre.

owing to its expensive installation
and heavy operating expenses. Such
shows as Jim Key. the Ferris Wheel
and others requiring little expense
for operating, did good business. The
Boer war did not make a great deal
for its proprietors although it was one
of the big drawing cards of the fair.

EXPOSITION ADJUSTMENTS
WHAT THE SHOWS ON THE
PIKE TOOK IN-MANY LOST
MONEY.

The following from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat about tho anuse-
ments at the worlds fair will be of
special interest to those who attended
the same and to many as indicating
what great sums the people are ready
to pay for fun and amusements.
The gross amount of receipts from
concessions at the fair will reach over
$40. 200, 600. This statement was
made last night by one of the fair
officials familiar with the figures.
OF this sum the Exposition company
will receive in the neighborhood of
s2,50O,OO0 as its percentage. The
Intramural railroad has been a pay
ing proposition. Its receipts are not
figured in the total. although it has
earned as high as .s3, 900 per day.
1t is the property of the fair, into
whose treasury its gross receipts will

Pike or its tributary branches, will
bring the total gross receipts up to a
high figure. The full list Of Pike
concessions and The amount in gross
each one has taken In during the
seven months of the fair is as follows.
For six months the aggregate amount
was ascertained. The seven months
receipts are estimated. A fair official
who looked over the sheet last night
says it is not far from right:

by Justice Dugro, of the Supreme
Court, is holding the Elias house 6,

deayoring to raise $4,000 which will

raise such a sum she will continue to
defy the court and remain in her

It is thought that the Elias woman
