In a letter from Mrs. Jens Jepson
to her sister, Mrs. Theo. Larson, she
stated that they were nicely settled
a 160-acre farm two miles south of
Claresholm, Canada. They bought
this same farm for $1,000, including
horses and machinery. Her first but
ter sold at 30 cents a pound, and eggs
are 20 cents a dozen. 1t took Jepson
eleven days on the road, but every
thing in the a was in good condi-
ton. The day he crossed the line at
Portal there were 1872 emigrants ears
for Canada at that place. The land
around Claresholm was homesteaded
three or four years ago, and land was
sold there this winter as high as S32.
The town has about 600 inhabitants,
electric lights, and waterworks plants,
a good l00-barrel flour mill and
other things such as go to make up a
good farm town. Mr.. Larson just
had a bill sent him showing his taxes
for 1905 amounted to $500 on $40
acres of land in that locality.

OBITUARY.

Ole j. Noem, who died April 18th,
1906, was born in Winsey Co.,
Iowa, Aug. 20, 1859, and with his
parents moved to Fillmore Co., Mimi.
when he was two years of age.
There he resided through the years of
childhood and youth, with all their
attendant pleasures and sorrows, dis
couragments and ambitions. At the
age of fifteen he was confirmed in the
Norwegian Lutheran church, and up
to the time of his death was a consis-
tant worker in the church of his choice.
In the spring of 1881 he came to
South Dakota and made settlement
on the quarter-section of land in
Hartland Township, Kingsbury Co.,
which has ever since been his home.
He was married June Is, 1887 to
Miss Martha Nelson, of Fillmore, CO.,
Mimi, who, with their four children,
are left to mourn the loss of one of
the kindest of husbands and fathers.
He also leaves a widowed mother,
four sisters and five brothers, who
while they mourn, may justly feel
honored by the daily life of the son
and brother gone to his reward.
Being strictly honorable in all de-
tails of business, just, generous, and
Of a genial disposition, the best mon
ument to the memory of Ole Noem
will live and endure in the hearts of
all acquaintance.

The Grand Jury of Essex county, y. j.,
handed up to Chief Justice GrImmere yester-
day indictments against twelve members
Of the Newark police department. When
il became noised about that the drag
net of the Jury had taken in three COM
m~issioners, the chief Of police, two captains
and six other officers there was a sensation.
Although no action was taken by Prosecu-
tor Young to bring the indicted officials to
plead and no oficial confirmation was
given to the report. il became positively
known that the li-t Of indicted officials
included the following: commissioner
Frederick Castle, Henry K. Gardner and
Frederick W. kroeger, Chief of Police John

All the officials named admitted yester-
day that they had positive information
that true bills had been returned against
them, but none was allie to state what the
basis for the Indictment in his particular
case was.
The indictments against the higher
officials, IL is understood, are for neglect of
duty and misfeasance in Office. In the
bills against the minor officials and plain
clothes men various ience are said TO
be charged. The Grand Jury is said 10 have
considered testimony involving the pro-
lection OF gambling places. disorderly
houses. handbook men and dance halls
