Now is the time to start for NORTH

Now is the time to start for North
Dakota, if you happen to be a
farmer, or want to be one; want to
get good lands and get them cheap
now, this month is the time to do
so better than any other, especially
if you have but little money. Come
to North Dakota now, work during
the long and great harvest on the
slope, get big money for it, select
your land and you will have made
enough to keep you nearly, if not
entirely through the winter and
give you fair start in the spring

TOWN LOT SALE.

The sale of lots in the new town
Of Garrison took place as advertised
Tuesday afternoon. G. A. Camp
bell, the townsite man Of the $500
had charge Of the sale, and a large
number of lots were disposed of in
short order.
A number of large concerns pur-
chased lots and will go into bust
ness there. The town is nicely To-
Gated, with a gentle slope to the
south. We predict great future
for the new town which started out
so auspiciously. The lots disposed
Of amounted to $4,000.
The country is well settled up,
and just beyond the new town, we
were informed, there was a home
steader on every quarter section.
The settlers are jubilant over the
coming of the railroad, as they will
now have markets near at home for
the products Of the farm without
the necessity of hauling thirty-fve
or forty miles. On every side, the
binder could be seen in the grain
fields and the acreage of crops is
much larger this year than last.

Incompany with Surveyor Solem
the first of the week, we made a trip
to the new town of Garrison, going
via Coal Harbor. This was our first
trip to that section of Mclean Co.
We had already heard much regard
ing the Garrison country, and was
more than anxious to see it. In
reading or talking about a place,
we invariably form picture cram
opinion of the place. We had ours
of the Garrison country, and the
real was far ahead of what we had
pictured it. Large fields of waving
grain could be seen on every hand,
the blue of the fax contrasting with
the ripening yellow of the wheat
and oats. On the road from Coal
Harbor to Garrison, we passed thru
a field of flax containing 24O acres
belonging to Jos. Mann, of this
place. We have never seen a bet
ter field, being sown on new break
ing, and weed in the whole field
could not be seen. It was fine
sight. On every hand could be seen
evidences of new homes, some lately
erected, and a large area Of new
breaking ready for next years crop.
Between here and Coal Harbor,
especially in the Weller neighbor-
hood, much grain, such as oats and
wheat, is already in the shock and
binders could be seen going in all
directions. In conversation with
farmers, we found that they were
we'll pleased with the country, and
all seemed satisfied During the
whole trip, we did not see poor
piece of grain. Those who have
never seen the Missouri slope coun-
try during the harvest time, would
do we'll to make a visit at this time.
It would surely be an eye opener.

COURT PROCEEDINGS.

!; Court convened at 9 o'clock A. M.
on Tuesday, Judge Winchester and
Stenographer McGlashan having
arrived Monday noon.
| The first case on the criminal
docket was the State of North Da-
kota vs.Joseph Campbell and Frank
Prossercharged with grand larceny.
The complaint alleged that the
prisoners took from the barn of
w. F. Henke, near Hanover On the
night of May 10Th, 1905, team of
horses valued at between $3.50 and
$500. They were captured about
fifteen miles from Henke's on the
afternoon of the 21st with the horses
in their possession.
The prisoners plead not guilty,
and asked the Court to appoint an
attorney for them as they had
neither counsel nor money. After
questioning them and satisfying
himself of the truthfulness of their
statements, the Judge appointed
Atty. Campbell, of Mandan, who
Immediately asked for separate tri-
ais, which request the Court imme-
diately granted and Frank Prosser
took the stand in his own behalf.
He swore that he was seventeen
yeart of age and resident of o.
tawa, Can; that he came to the
state Of North Dakota on the 18th
of May, 1905, and arrived in New
Salem on the 10Th. From there he
started in northerly direction
overland in the company of one,.
Thomas Campbell, looking forwork.
They arrived at Henke's, ate din
ner and went over the hill and laid
down. It was at this time that they
conceived the idea Of taking the
horses, and they remained at this
place until about one o'clock A. NJ,
when they returned to Henke's and
took the horses from the.barn and
rode them away Prosser. claimed
that it was not their intention to
steal the horses but merely to ride
them to the nearest railroad and
turn them loose. During the ar
guments Of the attorneys, Prosser
broke down and wept profusely.
The case went to the jury about 2
O'Clock P. NJ, and they we're out
about three hours and returned q
verdict Of guilty but recommended
the clemency Of the Court.
Campbell then asked that he be
allowed to change his plea Of not
guilty to that Of guilty, which was
i allowed, and on Thursday morning
the Judge sentenced them, Prosser
to the reform school, and Campbell
to the penitentiary for termsof three
years. Campbell claims to be %
years Of age and Philadelphia as
his home. Sheriff Tabert and dep
uty Sorenson left for Mandan with
the prisoners on Thursday after
noon Center Republican.

BIG FIRE.
Blaze in Wholesale District Causes a
Loss of 100000.

Omaha. Neb., Jan. 30.-A fire
which started Saturday at midnight in
the wholesale district of this city was
the most destructive in the history of
Omaha. The total loss will exceed
half a million dollars. at the most
conservative estimate, and by some it
has been placed considerably higher.
4 more disastrous conf1agration was
only prevented by the heroic efforts
of the entire fire department of
omaha, which was reinforced by sew
eral engines, hose wagons and other
eouipment from South Omaha and
Council Bluffs. Although Chief Salter
thai the flames were under
control at 2:30 o'clock, they con-
tinued to adjoining buildings
until after 4. All of the or
fhe night and all day Sunday a num-
Der of streams were kept pouring on
the smoldering ruins. With zero tenn
perature, the water was quickly
frozen. and the naked walls of the
burned buildings resemble huge ice
castles. The outside fremen were dis
missed early in the day.
A half block was burned over, but h
Immense buildings contained great job
hing stocks. which is responsible for
the enormous loss.

at to exceed $500, 900, and were owned,

Mention this fact to indicate the value
of Liquozone-the value to you. Men
nave never before paid such a price for
any discovery used in the cure Of sick

We need not tell you that we
proved LiquozOne well before buying it.
For years it was tested through ply
sicians and hospitals, in this country
and others. 1t was employed in every
stage Of every germ disease; in all the
most difficult cases obtainable. With
thousands of sick ones, considered in
durable, we proved thai it did what
medicine could not do. Then. n then
only, did we pay the price.
Since then we have spent nearly
1900, 900 to make Liquozone known.
We have bought the first bottle and
given it free to every sick one we learn

All day long great crowds watched the

first three stories may be utilized in re-
building.

Mathe1 by making it a division point.
Last su1nmer numerous surveying parties
were running lines over the Flint hills
and the suspicion has grown to almost a
reality that the Missouri Pacific contem-
plates extending its line from this point
to Newton during t~he-eoming season. In
doing this the Missouri Pacific will of
course intersect the Orient at MatheId
Green and give the Orient an open line
10 Kansas City. If the long talked of and
much desired piece of road be built be-
tween Butler and Bagnell, Mo-, a distance
of less than 123 miles, it will be the short
est and most direct route from Ell Paso,
Tex. to St. Louis. It%would mean an air
line from Newton, KAN, to ST. Louis.
This would mean quicker markets for
cattle and other Kansas products as
well as draw the great southwest many
miles nearer the Chicago and St. Louis
markets. 1t is a very feasible plan and
one that has occupied the mind of more
than one railroad promoter. The Orient
will not go to Emporia- 1t will tap the
Missouri Pacific at this place and reach
ening the distance to st. Louis. Watch
the Orient and the Missouri Pacific get
together. 1t is money for both of the
roads,.

today Mr.. Sims came to the Baltimore

that the latter will eventually
