in empty packing boxes, on low roofs
or in areaways and saw his life mis-

DR.. Barnardo's plan went far beyond
the distributing of charity food and
tracts. He founded homes for the
homeless and taught them good trades,
giving a start in life which is the

The population of North Dakota in
1890 was 1918: in 1900 in was 3l9,l46
while in 1905 it went up to 100000.
This is an increase of nearly $4,000 or
approximately 24,OOO annually. The
same proportionate ratio OF increase for
the next ten years will give this state
nearly a million Of people, especially will
this be true if the present rate of immi.
grafton can be maintained for the next
few years. From present indications. a
conservative estimate OF the new arrivals
in this state, from now until December
81, 1906 will reach fifty thousand people.

The Alleged Slayer of Custer.

The death recently of Rain-in-the-
well as the most treacherous Of the
Indians involved in the massacre of
Clusters band in the battle of Little
Big Horn. revives the conflicting sto-
ries Of that memorable tragedy. Rain
in-the:Face boosted that he killed Gus
ter with his own hand. Of all the sur
viving chiefs he alone spoke bitterly
of Custer. He declared that he arous-
ed the Indians under Sitting Bull to
give battle because he wanted venge-
ance on the Custer family for his zap
ture some time before by Captain Tom
Custer, brother of the general, who
also fell at Little Big Horn.
On one point all the Indian survivors
agreed. They described the affair as
a melee not lasting more than twenty
minutes, the Indians acting under the
general order to surround the soldiers
and kill them all. Chief Gall declared
that he was in command of the party
which fired the last shots, and he did
not know then that General Custer was
on the ground. All Of the Indians pres,
ent in the fight spoke reluctantly of
their part in it, with the single excep-
ton Of Rain-in-the-Face. They were
on the warpath and, encountering the
troops, fought in their savage way tc
win. Rain-in-the-Face had the last
word. and his story of the tragedy has
been generally accepted as the truth.

The twin screw steamer Bremen was
recently towed into Halifax with both
propellers disabled, a rare occurrence
if not an isolated one. The idea of
having two propellers is partly to safe
guard a ship from being totally dis
abled. In this case the accident which
broke the port shaft also disabled the
starboard propeller, and the Bremen
was in the same plight as a single
screw ship would have been under the
same circumstances.

The Cavalier county ~sale:of state and
school lands to be held on the first day
Of December will attractimore .Eoutside
buyers than any of the other land sales
to be held in the state this year. There
are various reasons for this assertion. but
the main one is the low value at which
they are appraised when compared with
other parts of the state. In Cavalier
county unimproved farms have a value
of not less than sl5 per acre, while the
appraised value on the state and school
ands will not average higher than Sill 80
per acre. Counties to be west of US.

appraised their state and school lands at
a higher valuation than Cavalier. rang
ing from Is to As per cent, while it is gen.
orally known that the real estate mark
ct for lands in those counties rules lower
than prevailing prices here. The ques-
ton was agitated some little time back
that the school lands of Cavalier county
have been appraised too high, while the
facts in the case point to show thai
neighboring counties have much greater
cause to complain on this score than We
have.

Death of Hon. A. B. Darling.

4. B. Darling, n of the oldest and
best known residents of Cavalier county,
died Monday afternoon at about five
o'clock at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. c. S. Hunter, after a lingering and
painful illness of a complication of stom-
ach troubles from which until almost
the last the family and attendant physi-
clans were hopeful of recovery, notwith-
standing the advanced age of the suffer
er. The deceased's closing illness dates
back to last summer. while himself and
wife were visiting the fair at Portland
and travelling through the Pacific coast
country. He was taken quite violently
i'll with stomach trouble then and the
symptoms became more acute after his
return home.
Mr.. Darling has been a Cavalier county
resident since 1898, during the last six
years of which time he has filled the Of
flee of county surveyor. He had &C
quired considerable property since COM
ing here and by uprightness of character
had quickly gained a position among the
foremost of our respected citizens.
Mr.. Darling was born in Berkshire.
Vermont, on June %. 1888 and came to
Cavalier county less than eight years
ago from Clearwater Mimi. which place
had been the home of the family during
the greater part of the forty odd years
of his married life. On the 14th day of
March, in 1858. he was married to Miss
Jerusha ingalls, who is left to mourn.
This union was blessed by the birth of
a family of five. one of whom has pre-
coded the parent to the home beyond
the grave. Those living are Two daugh-
tiers. Mrs G. S. Hunter and Mrs. w. NJ.
Wiltsie and two sons \. L., and NJ. M.
Darling. both residing near town.
The funeral held yesterday afternoon
from the Hunter residence was quite
generally attended and directed by the
Masonic and Eastern Star orders, with
both of which the deceased has been
affiliated for a number of years.
The remains were taken to the old
family home at Clearwater, Minnesota,
for interment.
