fellow. but terribly absent-minded
I've just been to his house. He
won't be out for . week. Got run
over and kicked BY . horse this Aft

what do you think Of this! About 4
O'Clock this a1ternooa he drove down
Fifth avenue IN Funahout to which
Harshall's chestnut colt was hitched
He meaAt 10 20 to the sarase and got

Cared for the Kids. !

jamestown Democrat: Agent Too
hey had new experience IN connec-
ton with his duties as agent on Satur-
day evening. A young woman from
St Paul, having four babies on the
train, got left at Fargo. The kids
were OF various ages, the youngest be-
ing an infant of about one month. The
next one was about q year old, and so
on up. Conductor Tom Sloan took
charge of he kindergarten between
Fargo and Jamestown, and on arrival
here bundled all the packages OF In
fantile humanity into the charge Of
Agent Toohey, and gave him special
instructions regarding the wants and
treatment Of infants aged one month
and one year. Needless to say the job
was attended to in proper shape, and
those who observed the paternal care
given the kids prophesied that John
would make an excellent family man.
The frantic mother arrived on the next
train to claim her quartette of or
spring, more to the relief OF the agent
than to the lady herself.

particularly interested in acquiring the
ability to express in accurate and
forceful writing the results of expert
ment, original work and experience of
college life. These articles will be

be of that number. The first install
ment was published In yesterdays

MARRIED LABORERS
in GREAT DEMAND

~ y, + p /. . ID
Honest laboring men who have fam
lilies are needed in North Dakota. The
days of the wandering laborer are
numbered and the cry now is for men
who can be depended upon. s
Men who have no ties of any sort
have not been found good for the in
dustries in the state, hence the cry Tor
married men. Besides the growth and
development of the state depends in q
measure on the securing of the best
kind Of labor. .G
Generally speaking, labor has been
high and scarce this year. There are
hundreds of idle men in the state to
day who have sufficient means for
their present wants and until it is ex-
hausted they will not try to 20 to
work. Right now men are wanted !.
Hardly day passes but that someone
does not call at the police station and
request that men arrested the night be
fore be sent to certain places to secure
work as soon as they have arranged
Tor their discharge with Judge Gearey.
This sort of labor is not by any means
the best but the incident illustrates the
need of men.
The demand of housemaids in the
state is, perhaps, the most pressing. A
girl or woman ready and willing to
work IS offered every opportunity The
demand is far in excess of the supply.

RECORD BREAKING ORDERS
FOR RAILROAD EQUIPMENT

In it's issue of October Is The Rail-
way Age, recorded orders for AGO
cars, 30,620 freight cars and
1873 locomotives, and inquiries for adj
ditional equipment amounting to SO
passenger cars, 1900 freight cars and
So locomotives. The contracts re-
ported this week are even more sur
prising in many ways, and when taken
in connection with the large orders ex-
pected from the New York Central,
Northern Pacific and other roads show
that the high records of 1901 and 1902
for freight equipment and locomotives
will easily be surpassed before the
close of 1905, although the volume Of
orders in those years was exceptional,
and notwithstanding the present high
prices and the difficulty in securing
prompt deliveries.

vania this week for 21,500 cars, in

THE STATE MILITIA.

It is gratifying to note the plans on
foot by Adjutant General Creel for the
advancement of the state militia to
point close to the efficiency Of the
regular army. One of the first steps
toward this is the requirement of a
physical examination of each member
of the guard. Those not already ex-
amined and favorably passed upon by
the examining surgeons of the regi-
ment will be examined at the time of
the government inspection in the win
ter or early spring.
The reports of. deficiency in non
commissioned officers Of the various
state guards at the recent army
manoeuvers have been noted and it is
understood steps are beinp taken by
the military authorities to remedy the
discrepancy in this state, to the end
that these subordinate officers shall
be qualified for the rank they hold, the
report Of the last government in
pector being to the effect that com.
pany commanders have more import
ant work than looking after the in
struction that should be impaired to
plivates by the non-commissioned Off
GERS.
General Creel's long and intimate
association with the state militia and
lids military training and experience
eminently fit him for the work in hand,
and as he expresses it, the govern
ment pays it's money ITO have soldiers
soldier" That the governor and adju-
tant general mean to place the guard
upon military scale of efficiency and
respectability Is shown in the recent
court martial at Devils Lake resulting
In the dishonorabIe discharge of a |
newly elected lieutenant and four men
of the local company The sooner
members Of the national guard under |
stand they must conform to the regu-
lations of the regular army in military
matters the sooner will they reach the
high state of efficiency the govern
ment and state has a right to expect |
lin return for their generous expendi-
lures for the support of the militia.
The time for boys play is over.

It is unoficially announced at Paris
that Russia is undertaking to borrow
$360,000,0 900 from outside markets. As
to the necessity for such loan, it is
to be observed that all Russia's bor--
rowings during the recent war were in
the form of short-term loans; the last
one, indeed-some $4,000, 900, placed
at Berlin-being merely a nine-months'
note, maturing some time this winter.
Within the next few years, then, all Of
this war debt, footing up nearly $780,
100000, must in any case be refunded;
the proposed new loan would no doubt
provide for that process in advance,
and for the closing expenses Of the
war. But the more interesting ques-
ton is, who will lend Russia the
money? It appears to be assumed
that the French investor under the
guidance of the great Paris banking
houses which manage his affairs for
him, will again be ready with his saw
angs. The intimation, however, that
Germany England, Holland, and the
United States will participate, pro
Vokes some doubts. English financial
writer's have been suggesting that Lon
don may take a block of the Russian
bonds for political reasons-to show,
In short, that no hard feeling need be
left over from recent controversies. A
similar argument is proposed for Ger
man participation.
