GEORGE DOUGLAS CHADWICK.

1t is with a feeling of sorrow anc
deep sympathy that we chronicle
the sad death of little George
Douglas Chad wick. which occurred
at his home on last Saturday even
ing. June 10th. at 9 o'clock
Just few weeks ago Douglas was
stricken with typhoid fever, and
while every means known to ply
sicians and nurses was resorted to
and with the untiring attention OF
loved ones, all proved fruitless. The
heavenly Father in His wise mys-
terious providence enriched his
kingdom with the soul of this
bright boy. Though the parting
fills our hearts with anguish, and
We weep for relief, we can only
say through our tears that Douglas
is
Safe in the arms OF Jesus.
Safe on His gentle breast
There by His love Overshadowed
Sweetly his soul shall rest

Several of the experiment sta

Several of the experiment sta
tions have been making a special
study of potato rot and trying to
find something that will prevent it
both in and out of the ground
Dusting the potatoes with lime has
been recommended to prevent win
ter rot. It is claimed that it will
protect all sound ones but will not
arrest decay in those already effect
ed. The lime also has the effect of
making them sprout some earlier
in the spring which is disadvan-
tage. This remedy is so cheap
and easily applied that it is worth
trying in a small way at least. If
any reader has tried this method,
or knows Of any better way, will
they not give US the benefit of
their experience ?-Dakota Far

President Stickney, of the Great
Western, railroad, is about the only
railroad official who favors gov
eminent supervision of railroad
rates. In a general way he favors
Pres Roosevelt's plan. In common
with other railroad Officials how
ever, Mr.. Stlckney feels a distrust
of the sort of men who may be ap-
pointed as members of the inter
state commerce commission. If
that commission is to be vested
with authority to fix substitute
rates in cases where discrimina-
tons are found to exist, he believes
that tile members of the commits
sion should be selected as care
fully as the judges of the supreme
court and hold life appointments.
If such appointments could be
made Mr.. Stickney believes that
managers of railroads generally
would endorse the measure. Con-
sidering the great responsibility
which such a commission would
have, and the vast amount of study
and experience necessary to per-
form its duties Justly and intelli-
gently, the suggestion of Mr..
Stickney is worthy of consideration.

An unfortunate accident occurred
at Armour last Friday when the
large dwelling house of Jas. Carbon
was blown up by the explosion of
an acetylene lighting plant in the
basement. It seems that Mr.. Car
Ion and a plumber were working at
the plant and noticing that some
thing was wrong he rushed up stairs
and told his wife to take the chill
dren and get out of the house.
Mrs. Carlon had just succeeded in
getting her five children out of the
house and was in the act of shut
ting the door when the plant ex-
ploded, wrecking the building and
injuring her SO badly that she lived
only a few hours. The remains OF
Mrs. Carlon accompanied by a
large company of friends of the
family, were brought to Scotland
Monday morning by a special train,
and at eleven o'clock the funeral
party left over the I. & D. for
Lawler la, where the remains were
buried.

For nearly twenty years a short
independent line of railroad l6
miles in length, running from
Gettysburg to Forest City, has
been struggling along, most of the
time having been in the hands OF
receiver. Last week ex-senator
Pettigrew bought the line, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of tearing it up
and using the material on the new
Central Dakota line. According to
Weekly Dakotan, it has since de-
veloped that the purchase was
made for J. J. Hill, who is to push
the Great Northern from Ellendale
to Gettysburg to connect with this
line, thus giving him an approach
to the borders of the great cattle
country west of the river.

The first sale of state building
lands held by Com missioner Bach,
last week, was very satisfactory.
The lands offered were in McPher-
son county and had been appraised
at from $40 to SIS per acre. The
receipts on the amount sold were
$916 above the appraised price. All
of the land was bought by farmers
who owned land adjoin ing and
while the privilege was given to pay
for it in three payments, over half
of the purchasers planked down
the spot cash.
