Loses Right to Claim.

Fargo Forum: After being practi-
cally in possession for nearly ten years,
Mrs. Bertha Oglesby's right to the
southwest quarter of section 2o-l42.61
has been cancelled and the secretary of
the interior has affirmed the action.
In May, 1896, Bertha Anderson filed
on the quarter section of land. Seven
months later Miss Anderson married
OgIesby, who had an unprotected home
stead entry adjoining. Five years later
Mrs. Oglesby submitted a five year
proof and the same was accepted by
the register and receiver of the local
land office, but the patent was held up
for some reason, and July 20, 1904, the
proof was rejected and the final certif-
cate was held for cancellation. How
ever, at the time Mrs. Oglesby was
allowed to submit a Communication final
proof and a final certificate was issued
to her. Several months later a contest
was started against her entry by
Edward Conner, who charged abandon
ment. The charge was substantiated
before the officials of the local land
Office and the entry was cancelled.
The decision of the officials of the local
land office has just been affirmed by
the secretary of the interior.

Hansbrough Banquet.

Bismarck Tribune: The Commercial
club of Bismarck last night rendered to
Senator Henry C.. Hansbrough a banquet
at the Northwest hotel to signify their
friendship for the senator and as a testi-
monial of their appreciation of his work
for the state in congress. The table was
arranged in the shape of a letter L, ex-
tending partly across and nearly the
length of the spacious dining room. The
floral decorations were red and white
roses and ferns, with rose petals scat
tered around the table, the effect being
novel and attractive. Fifty invited
guests sat at the banquet, including
prominent officials of the state and bust
ness and professional men of the city.
Among the state officers present were
Governor Sarles and State Auditor
Holmes. Senator Hansbrough occupied
the seat of honor with President Lucas
Of the Commercial club at his right. The
guests held a little informal reception for
the senator before the banquet, and the
banquet was served about 10 o'clock.
The affair was attended with the greatest
good fellowship and cordiality and many
Aattering expressions were made of the
work of the senator at Washington.

IT is suggested by Pierre Wi
baux that a central wool market
be established at Miles City. He
says that wool has not been NOV
ing as it should this year, but he is
unable to tell why the Montana
growers did not get what they
asked. The growers around Dick
inson were willing to take an
average of 23Hc. per pound for
their woods and had no trouble in
disposing of 100000 pounds in
a comparatively short time. A
few choice clips sold at "a and q
cents per pound. In Montana
the growers did not get any bet
ter prices, possibly a little lower,
and they consumed about two
months of valuable time in clos
ing up their sales.

Roosevelt Cabin.

Tribune: The capitol employees un-

and the historic log house will be re-
built on a permanent cement founda-
ton in the southwest corner of the

and Portland.
When Sylvane Ferris and Teddy's

tie logs wherewith to build this cabin
at the Maltese ranch they little thought
the little building would become such
an object of interest to thousands of
people, would travel thousands of
miles, be taken down and put up four
times, and find a final resting place be.

main an object of interest to thousands

81 have His yoke upon me.
And easy tits to bear:
In the burden that he carried
I gladly take a share;
For then it is my happiness
To have him always nigh;
We bear the yoke together,
My Lord and l."
The poet has doubtless entered into
the experience of perfect love with his
Lord, for though one has been pardoned
and is a child of God the yoke has not
been taken upon ones self until one
denies self and mailing it to the cross
follows Jesus. Then and there only
can the precious blood of Jesus cleanse
from all sin-self, inbred sin or moral
depravity-and then his yoke becomes
easy, then and not until then does the
child of God have unalloyed joy; then,
and only then can one rejoice evermore,
and leap with joy.
Come to the Sabbath services where
you may learn Of this perfect way.
You who canno come, will not you
pray for the preacher and people that
God may give the right message?
Come to the 80 minute song service at

MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN
SHINES"

There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be
with every household. Dysentery, diar-
rhoea and cholera morbus may attack
some member Of the home. without
warning. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is the
best known medicine for these diseases,
should always be kept at hand, as inn
mediate treatment is necessary, and de-
lay may prove fatal. For sale by all
druggists.
