Congressman Marshall has placed be-
fore Land Commissioner Richards COM
plants of settlers in McHenry country,
relative to trouble to which they are
put in making final proof. They object
to the requirement of proceeding to the
county seat or land office to make final
proof, on account Of the expense which
such journeys entail, and they ask that
arrangements be made for them to do
business with United States official at
Balfour, which is easy of access from
all points in the county. Commissioner
Richards promised Mr.. Marshall to take
the matter under consideration. This
would be the proper course for people
in this part of Ward county to pursue,
remote as we are from the county seat.
AS the thing now stands, unwarranted
expense and loss of time is imposed up
on the homesteader, and The Tribune
has no doubt this can be remedied if
those interested will act in the matter
as have the people Of McHenry county.

Rev. Father Wagner held services
here in the Catholic church last Sunday,
after which there was business meet
ing of the church trustees held at the
home of C. ]. Kopriva, when the church
books were checked up and general
review in financial standing of the con-
gregation was looked after, which was
found to be in a very satisfactory way,
showing that the past year had been a
successful one. After the meeting
Father Wagner partook of supper at
C. J.'s home, and departed for Ken
mare feeling better satisfied with his
Bowbell's parish than ever before.
Rev. w. J. Gammelin, the German
M. E. clergyman who has charge of the
affairs of that denomination in this dis
trict, is here from Willow City and paid
a pleasant visit to The Tribune few
days ago. He reports the church ad-
vancing here and the parishioners gen.
orally prospering. While en- route to
Minot from Willow City on Friday last
the train on which he was a passenger
ran into the rig of a rural mail carrier
who was driving across the track at
Tunbridge, instantly killing the driver
and dismembering the unfortunate man
in a most shocking manner. The horse
escaped injury, though the wagon was
reduced to splintcrs.

Believed To Be "Missing Link"


Prof. Van Sickle, who for some
months has been making geological
charts of the northern part of Java,
cables the Academy of Science in Am
sterdam that he feels certain that he
has discovered the long-looked-for
missing link. He does not claim the
honor Of the discovery himself, but
says that some weeks ago he was in
formed by a Dutch merchant, Ven
Beuren, that he had discovered a
new species of monkeys in a dense
forest in which he had lost his way.
The professor started out to look
into the discovery of the merchant,
and while watching for the animals to
appear he heard a peculiar, half hu.
man voice. Looking up, he saw an
enormous nest and two ape-like ami
mails looking down upon him.
The natives of that part of the ISL
and have long known the presence of
these apes, which they call Ash Pet
rlzi." Unlike any other apes, they
bathe frequently and the females wear
strange necklaces of twigs and red
berries. and nurse their young sing
ing half-articuiated words. They have,
in fact, language, but it consists OF
very fnw words.

Small Salary for Hlah Office.

1t may be some comfort to laboring
men to know that the salary Of the
poet laureate of England is 1850 a
year and a hogshead of wine thrown
in. OF course. this represents only
fractional part of what Alfred Austin
really earns; still it is all that he gets
for being poet laureate to the English
speaking race. This salary is without
any prospect a raise. although 1t was
increased to its present munificent
proportions when Lord Tennyson died.
Some time before his death it was de-
cided to increase his salary to that
amount but the government did not
decide till after his death. Thus the
present poet laureate came in for the
raise intended for Lord Tennysop.

GOT A VOTE CHEAP.
Ingenious Flimflam Game Engineered
by EIectioneering Boss.


Israel Zangwill was in Philadelphia
during the presidential election, and
at the Franklin Inn, literary club,
he told story of crafty election
eering boss.
This boss" he said, desired votes
for his candidate, and hesitated at
nothing in order to get them. He
sent for poor man one day, and ask
ed this man to vote as he desired.
"'Oh, no. the poor man said firmly.
oh, no. can't do that. l am already
promised to the opposition
You are, eh?' said the boss. And
how much is the opposition paying
you?'
Twenty dollars the poor man an
swered.
"The boss assumed an expression
of disgust.
"That was low price, my friend,
an unfairly low price he said. 'tc
give you for your vote. We'd have
done better by you. We'd have given
you twenty-five dollars
1t was not yet too late. The elec-
tion wss two days off. The poor man
wavered.

Effect of Grating on Wine.

Before the Academy of Sciences,
Paris. NJ. Boudouin gave clear evi-

plain the more rapid aging of wines
from grated vines, and also their

GERMANS FILLING COUNTRY
Settlers Find an Ideal Location in
the State of Virginia for
Settlement.

Richmond, Va.-Lunenburg county,
along the line of the Southern rail.
way, is filling up with Germans from
the north and west. The newcomer
are buying farms and engaging in cat
tie raising, poultrying, fruit growing,
grape culture and similar pursuits.
More than 40 families have moved in
during the past year, and they appear
to be happy and contented. They are
all making money, living economically,
and seem delighted with the conditions
down here.
Three years ago 4 German came to
Virginia from Minnesota. He bought
a farm in Lunenburg county and be
gan to SOW grass and raise cattle for
market. He paid $4,000 for the farm,
and less than a month ago he was Of
fered $4,000 for the farm, declining to
sell at any price. He has made cattle
raising pay, and pay handsomely.
A colony moved in last month, buy.
ing a farm of several hundred acresi
which was divided up among the col.
ony, each man getting about 100 acres.
They do not spread over an immense
acreage, but do attend to small fields,
getting the best results, and with less
labor than the farmers Of this section.
They have begun to demonstrate te
the farmers of the state that they
know a thing or two, and the example
of small fields, we'll cultivated, is being
followed by many of the Virginians.

have copied from new lounging robes
the defining of the waist line by rows of
stirring, or rows of lace insertion. The
effect in the tiny dresses is exquisite.
Soft, gray suede is the foundation for a
beautiful girdle, which is studded with
cut steel beads and ends in cut steel
buckle.
Leather belts for children come in
every shade to match, or to tone in with,
the little Russian blouse dresses they
are worn with.
