C0NSUMpTI0N'S VICTIM
Simon 0Istad, Of Ringvilie, Taken Away
in the Bloom Of Life.

| RINGVILLE, Sept. 3.-The saddest news
that has come to us for long time is the
death of Simon Olstad, one of our promising
youg boys Deceased has been ailing with
| consumption for about eight months, and
death came as a relief to the poor sufferer
Aug. 20 at O'Clock. Simon was born in
Guldbrandsdalen, Norway, March 20, 1884,
and was consequently at the time of death
20 years and months Much Of his time
has been spent in the schoolroom, where he
always made good use of his time. He first
attended the New London School for two
! winters, 1901 and 1902, and in the winter
| OF 1908 he attended the Metropolitan Busi-
| ness College of Minneapolis, where he fin
| ished a course of bookkeeping the same
spring. The winter of 1904 he spent at
| home helping his parents, but in the tall OF
1905 he worked with the threshing machine
| and it is thought that it was then he con-
tracted the dreaded disease which proved ia
| tai. He, however, worked a while in the
New London Times Office, but owing to fail
| ing health he had to give up his place. Since
Christmas he has spent the time at home in
| most quiet way, preferring rather to be
| alone 1t is thought that he knew too well
| his ailment, but kept it to himself and never
| complained. A1tho he was taken away from
the world just at the age when he was bios
soming into sturdy and useful manhood, we
feel that he did not live in vain, but that even
his short life was an influence for good up-
on those with whom he came in contact
The nearest relatives to mourn his early
death are his parents, two brothers. Gustav,
| of Fairdale, N. D., who bid his last farewell
to him just a couple of weeks ago, when he
departed with his young bride to that place.
His other brother. Seval is staying at home
| and has faithfully taken care of his brother
during his illness. Heleaves host of friends
| who greatly miss the loss of dear fii.nd.
The funeral took place Aug. 81 from Gaus-
dahl church, Rev. Midthun officiating.
The pail bearers were Henry Shipstead, Al
| bert Sraabel, Olof Sonstegard, John Halvor-
| son, Oscar Larson and Jacob Newgord.
Mrs. Halvorson and three children, of Bel
grade, visited at Hans Halvorson's home
last week.
Mrs. c. Moe of Minneapolis is at present
visiting with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Christoperson.
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Shipstead of Glen
| wood visited at shipstead's place last week.
Mrs. G. Iverslie and Mabel Skimland OF
Belgrade visited at the home of P. Iverslie
last Thursday.
Louise and Josie Larson spent last Sunday
at Ha1vorson's place.

COUNTY LINES AND COUNTY

There is % popular misapprchcn.
sion concerning the establishment of
county lines and county seals for the
Indian Territory half Of the new state.
The BartlesHlle Examiner com.
ments on this as follows:
THAT many people have an crrone.
ous idea OF the duties which the con
stitutIoual convention will be called
upon 20 discharge has been rather
plainly evidenced by the exhibits
made by the distrioting commission.
The all-controlling allimportant con
sideration In every locality is the
question OF boundaries and county
lines. As was 10 have been expected
there is not community in the en-.
tire territory so small nor none so
large but aspire TO be designated as
a county seat And each have gerry
wandered the lines in such a way 10
give a NEST plausible case for the
commissions. consideration, This
popular impression is based on the
assumption that the convention will
fix irreyocably the county seats of
the new state. AS a matter OF fact
