The two lived together for sixteen years as

In 1899 Rose secured divorce from his first

now that the body Of Weller has been found,
with every indication that he was murdered.
John Rodd, aged 81, farmer living In High
land township, Ramsey county, nine miles north
Of Edmore, shot and killed Frank Sleggett, aged
IS, and then walked to Edmore and gave him
self up.
The trouble occurred at the home Of Mrs.
DeGrieves, and It ia presumed that in some
manner the woman was concerned in the shoot
ing. The shooting occurred at II O'Clock satur-
day night, when Frank sleggett and two COM
panions went to the DeGrieves home. They
found old Rodd there.
Rodd seemed to be afraid Of Sleggett and his
companions and opened fire on the former with q
revolver. He fred three shots from 32-cali-
Der revolver, and all took effect. Sleggett lived
until early Monday morning, and then Rodd
started to Edmore, where he gave himself up to
a deputy sheriff, whom he told of the killing.
He was arraigned before Justice p. NJ. Crary,
waived examination, and was held to the district
court without bond on charge Of murder In
the first degree.
Sleggett, the victim, was. an unmarried man
and came to that section few monts ago from

A Great Agricultural State.

The state OF North Dakota is destined
always to be a great agricultural state.
So far there have never been any ex-
tensive mining deposits found in 1t, if we
that extend all over the Missouri slope
and some excellent deposits of clay for
pottery and cement But with total
acreage Of almost 45,000,000 1T had in
1906 less than 100000 under cultivation,
or, to be exact. s,364,4s5 acres.
under cultivation, the value Of agricul-
tural products per capita in North Da-
kota is the highest Of any state in the
Union. The states farming interests
have been tremendously developed by the
low rates and extensions Of the railways
markets to a degree that was not even
thought possible ten years ago. It Is a
fact that 1t costs less to take grain or
its products from North Dakota to Liver
Illinois, except from points bordering on
Lake Michigan, and it is only matter
of time when Atlantic liners will be able
to take on their cargoes at Duluth, thus
bringing the North Dakota farmer within
300 miles, practically. of tidewater.

| going on without actually visiting the
i state. Hundreds of towns have sprung
into existence within the past two years
of prairies. And there is nothing Of q
mushroom or boom character about
these towns. They are there to stay
and when, as sometimes happens, there
! are two in close proximity feeling OF
the most intense rivalry exists. Settlers
vators, a bank or two, and dozen ol
j more buildings are started, and before The

sometimes we feel inclined to wonder
if people appreciate the large amount
of free advertising which the paper
gives. A number do, and show their
appreciation by giving us their cash
patronage and by speaking kind words
for the paper when opportunity pre-
sents. Others again will borrow their
neighbors' papers to see whether their
notices have been printed or not.
The local newspaper allows no one
to outdo it in iberality towards home
institutions, but the fact that it runs
on business principles and that every
line printed costs the publishers some
thing in cash for paper, ink and help
should not be lost sight of.
