Deputy Sheriff Jones of Denhof
brought over a man who was crazy
Sunday night, arriving here about
IL o'clock P. M. The man had ar
rived in Denhoff several days be-
fore in company with gang of
railway men. Hisqueer actions and
ways soon led to his being placed
in custody by the deputy. On his
arrival here he was questioned by
DR.. Forbes, but the unfortunate
man could give no account of him
self. On being asked his name, he
stated that it was "Jimmie," and
that he was from Cooperstown or
jamestown. A search was made Of
his clothing, and the only mark to
be found was the figure u" on his
undershirt. The jamestown au-
thorities were wired to find out if
he had escaped from that institu-
tion, but nothing could be learned.
The authorities decided to take the
man to jamestown and Sheriff Gra-
din left Monday with his prisoner
for that place.

THE HARVEST SEASON.

The harvest is at hand, and re-
ports from diff sections Of the
county show that crops are good.
The wheat harvest is we'll under
way, and a few more days will see
the most Of that crop cut and in
the shock. Oats and barley are
nearly all in the shock. Some flax
has been cut, but in some localities
that crop is late, but if present con-
ditions continue, it will soon be
ready for the harvester. Much Of
the breaking done this spring was
sown to fax, and the acreage Of that
grain will be much larger than in
former years. Farmers report the
grain we'll filed andof a good grade.
No rust has 30 far been reported in
this section. Threshing will COM
mence next week.

WILTON NEWS.

Monday morning, while William
Sleeper was driving into town with
a pair Of frisky, young horses, they
got scared at the 500 weed burner
while crossing the railway track on
the country road. They lunged
forward, and the tugs being long,
the tongue dropped from the neck
yoke and caught under the rail.
The wagon buckled, and Sleeper,
who was driving, was thrown high
into the air and falling, struck with
his back across the rail, where he
was unable to rise.
He was picked up by the section
men, who we're working near, and
carried to the Office of DIR. Thelen,
where an examination disclosed a
dislocated ankle, two broken ribs,
and a slightly battered shoulder.
He was properly cared for, and at
this writing is resting easily, tho
he will do no harvesting of this
years crop, as he will be laid up
for some time.
Yesterday morning, while Burns
Williams, son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. N.
Williams, living northeast Of town,
was running down a hill at the
McC Cleary school house, he caught
his leg between two stones and fell.
Examination disclosed that both
bones of the leg were broken. Ow-
ing to the fact that he was at school
some distance from home, and a
considerable distance from town,
it was afternoon before he could be
placed under the doctors care. In
the meantime, the leg had swelled
cQpeideTably, and treatment was
necessary before the fracture could
beyrednced. But he is very com
Portable, and will be able to run
some more-after awhile.

Present PoIysamy in Utah.

OF thrilling interest is the third
article in the series on ''The Trag-
edy of the Mormon Women" which
Marian Bonsall contributed to the
Housekeeper. The subject of pres
ent day polygamy in Utah is thor
oughly discussed and numerous
proofs of the extent of the evil are
published. Eight Of the twelve
apostles of the Mormon church, it
appears, are today practicing po-
lygamy, and this openly with the
full approval Of their church. One
apostle (MerrilD bosts seven wives
and forty five children. During her
Investigations in Utah, Miss Bon
sal found that young girls of twelve
or fifteen years are instructed by
their teachers that polygamy is not
only right, but the sole means Of
exaltation for women.
An interesting description is in
cluded Of the mysterious temple
ceremonies undergone by those who
would rise to preferment in the
church. It is in the temple that
plural marriages are performed and
it is secrecy which has made pros
ecution of the offenders so difficult.
The element Of mystery, which is
SO vital a part of Mormonism, does
more, in Miss Bonsall's opinion, to
entrap.victims for its church than
the combined oratory Of all it's high
priests and bishops, elders and
missionaries.

up THE YELLOWSTONE.

!: The u. s. s. Mandan, in charge
Of Capt. Gould, with Capt. Belk at
the wheel, has returned from an
inspection trip up the Yellowstone.
Many changes as well with the re-
spect to navigation as to the devel-
opment Of the country enroute, are
reported. It has been many years
since there has been any steamboat
ing on the upper Missouri and Vel
stone rivers, and during that time
there has been much advancement
in the settlement Of the country.
Capt. Belk relates that in one broad
valley, where at the time Of his last
trip there was but one rancher,
there are now hundreds with broad
fields Of waving grain, ample farm
buildings and comfortable homes.
There are many private irrigation
plants along the streams, in some
instances the water being raised up
onto the land by means Of steam
centrifugal pumps, where Ignite is
used for fuel, Changes in the nav
igation are chiefly those incident
to changes in the position of the
current, but perhaps the greatest
change is in that of fuel conditions.
Formerly, wood alone was used in
generating steam, but the more
modern vessels are equipped with
furnaces that are adapted to the
burning Of Ignite, and wherever a
supply is wanted, a stop is made at
a coal bank and a sufficient supply
is mined by the crew and loaded on
the boat. In one instance on this
trip, crew of six men mined and
loaded on the boat thirty-five tons
of coal in a few hours. The boat
will leave this port tomorrow for
down river points. Tribune.

a Few. Telephone lei ,.' Rules. 't,s J.

If you have telephone in your
office or store, call up central, and
wait on customer.
Take your time in answering a
bell, or what is better, do not an
swer it at all, but wait half an hour,
ring up. and ask who called you and
get mad if central has forgotten
who it was. She has nothing to do
but remember.
Hang up the receiver, big end
up, and in this way it gets full of
dust.
Bang the receiver with lead
pencil as though you intended to
knock it through the wall. This
invariably makes it talk better.
When through talking, drop the
receiver or throw it down. This
allows the batteries to run out and
breaks the strans in the receiver
cord.
Open the generator box with a
knife or an axe, and take q good look
at things. If the interior doesn't
look right, pull out a few wires and
y +. 81
leave the door open. This improves
the service wonde defful ~
Throw keys, combs, etc, on top
the telephone, which will short cir
cult your instrument; then go to
sleep, and no one can call you.
Never ring off when through talk
ing, as that would notify central
you had finished, Let her guess
at it
Never speak kindly to the oper-
ator as she is used to being called
names.
# the party you call does not an
swer, put the blame on central.
Always ring long and loud as
central may be asleep, then wait
half a second and ring again SO she
can ring in your ears she likes it.
Never call BY number as You have
not time to look on your directory,
and central has time to burn.
Paste these rules in your hat for
future referen Exchange.

THE GOODRICH CITIZEN.

{ Anton Arens, who resides seven
miles northeast of Goodrich, has
some corn which he planted this
spring and which is about seven feet
high and has leaves fully six inches
wide. He procured the seed from
Iowa and with fifteen or twenty
days Of good weather it will be out
of the way Of frost. Mr.. Arens
has also experimental with two
other varieties or corn, and both
are in fair way to ripen.
G. Taylor, auditor Of the Rogers
Lumber Co., met with a painful ac-
cident last night west of here. He
was running ahead OF the work train
with his motor velocipede, which
jumped the track, resulting in hav-
ing a bone in his hand fractured.
The machine was badly damaged
also.
Fred Dietrich, who resides a short
distance northeast of here, marketed
three hogs Monday, the aggregate
weight of them being LILO pounds.
They were purchased by Butcher
Mauch, who Jumped them at $55
which was only so cents less than
they afterwards weighed out.
The firm of johnson & johnson
have purchased the partly finished
building on the lot adjoining Davis
& Wyard s store on the south. They
moved it to a new site just east of
Harding's livery barn, and when
completed will occupy it with their
carpenter shop.
In the Sheyenne valley, about IL
miles north Of here, the black rust
left its mark upon the wheat and
the grade Will be low, we think.
We drove:over a portion of that Sec
|tion of country Tuesday and no.
|ticed that harvest was in full blast.
Tbs Stand appears very good, but
the farmers are predicting only half
a crop.
Mr.. VIM. f.. Walch, prosperous
farmer of near this place, and Miss
Sarah Millet, of Bismarck, who has
taught many successful terms Of
school in this vicinity, were welded
at Darlington yesterday. Both are
popular and have a large circle of
friends from whom they are re-
ceiving hearty congratulations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walch returned home
last, night.
States Attorney Nuessle and
Banker Perske were returning from
Denhof Monday when the team,
which. are spirited animals belong
ing to Davis & Nuessle, took fright
and by one simple move, spilled
the occupants Of the buggy and
then proceeded to leave them to
walk into town, distance of three
miles. In this, they were disap-
pointed, having made the mistake
Of trying to cross the railway at a
point where the grade was some 20
feet high. After two attempts to
cross, they turned into slough
with several feet of water in it and
there. being a fence on the other
side, made turn for the shore. In
the meantime, Messrs. Nuessle and
Perske had shaken the dust from
themselves and the former, discov-
ering that a landing was anticipated
by the steeds, hit a ten second gait
and cut off their retreat The lat
ter picked up cushion, robe and
whip and the gentlemen drove into
town none the worse for their ex-
perience.
