Seth Glanville, of Stark, who
has been spending the winter at
Scales Mound, ILL.,, returned on
Saturday. Mr.. Glanville reports
that the weather is almost as
severe in Illinois as here.
And now that the election is
over it is the time to all dig in and
work together for the good of Den
hoff. There are several beneficial
projects that could be landed by
the town if the people work to-
gether.
Mrs. Steinbreck and family left

Arthur, who accompanied his

Last week G.. G. Mix and III. O.
Nelson went hunting and trapping
on the wild shore of Brush Lake,
near Mercer. The boys cought
many muskrats, and came very
near getting a bear. They ran on
to Bruins tracks early one morn
ing and although they we're only
armed with a rifle, a corn knife
and a hatchet, they gave case. The
tracks, were about the size of a
pie pan, and sank down into the
snow seven inches. After follow
ing the tracks several hours they
lost them on the ice of the lake.

JOINT SCALE COMMITTEE OF oP-
ORATORS AND MINERS RE-
PORTS DISAGREEMENT.
LA1TER's uLTIMA1Ua TURNED DOWN
REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANYTHING
LESS THAN AN INCREASE
OF 5.55 PER CENT.

Indianapolis, March 28-The joint
scale committee of the bituminous
coal operators and miners Of the Cen.
ral competitive district, after being in
session one week, has decided to re-
port disagreement to a session Of a
Joint conference. of miners and oper-
ators to be held during the afternoon.
The committee was in session but
q short time. It met at $3.50 o'clock
and after a half hour spent In talk
that bore no relation to the question
at issue motion was made and unani-
mously adopted that a disagreement
be reported.
The national officers Of the miners
In the committee the previous after
noon had strongly reiterated their for
mer declaration that under no circum-
stances would they sign scale at any
thing less than an advance in wages
of 5.55 per cent and President Perry
Of the Illinois miners had assured the
operators that no Illinois union or dis.
trict would be allowed to sign unless
the advance was given to every un.
ion miner in the state. This ultima.
tum was received by the operators in
silence and an adjournment was at
once taken until morning, when the
motion to report a disagreement was
at once offered by President Mitchell
of the miners and carried unanimously
When the thirty-four operators and
miners came from the committee room
there was no laughing and jesting as
had been seen at the close .0f4praxiols
sessions All were serious and there
were indications that each man was
laboring under nervous strain.

Railroad Commissioner Stafne
spent last Friday and Saturday in
Garrison with his son, Attorney. A
j. Stafne. Mr.. Stafne was some.
what surprised at the rapid growth
of our town.
The baseball boys succeeded in
raising $3.50 last week with which
to start the season. This will be
used to pay for suits, which are al
ready ordered, fix up grounds, etc.
and is certainly q neat sum for 8
starter. The boys should feel en-.
couraged by the interest taken by
the business men.
Two new elevators are among
the improvements fer Garrison
this spring which will make q
total Of seven. This would indi-
cate that there are few people
who believe that plenty Of grain
will be marketed in Garrison even
after the extension is completed.

An individual, who apparently
does not possess a great abund-
ance of brains committed several
thefts Of trivial articles at the
Schatz Pharmacy, the Billigmeier
MERCANTILE, Co.'S, and j. Schlenker
& son'ss'on Tuesday afternoon.
He gave his2aaHne as John Hoef
and lives north of Bowdon. It was
at the j. Sohlenker & Sons store
where his theft was first discov-
cred, Unseen he had slipped a
revolver, which was the personal
property Of John @. Schlenker in
to his pocket and left the store.
A few minutes later Mr.. Schlenker
in passing the place where the gun
had.laid noticed that it was gone.
His first suspicion was the indi-
vidual in question whom he had
seen near the place where his gun
had previously been. He tracked
his man and watched him until he
concealed his booty under some
hay in his sleigh, then he collared
him and made him confess. Later
a grain sack with fifteen or twenty
packages Of cabbage and pepper
seeds, a dozen or more packages Of
cigarette papers, a box Of pile cure
a box Of linen collars and various
other articles, was found near his
sleigh, which he afterwards admit
ted to have stolen from the places
mentioned above. He was given
q trial before a kangaroo court
ats 8 o'clock in the evening and was
released on q suspended sentence
agreeing not to return to Goodrich
again for three months at least.

Apparently there are many peo.
pie who have a mistaken idea re.
garding the homestead law, ,and now
that the public domain is narrow
ing down to a comparativly small
area and lands are getting cores
pondingly more valuable, interest
ed parties are looking into the
matter. 1t is found that people
have not, in many instances, COM
piled with the law in the past, and
there are still any number who are
not living up to the requirements
of the law. Two young ladies in
the Bismarck district recently
found that continuous residence
meant something more than oc-
casional visits, and only short
time ago a married man in the
Dickinson district discovered that
he could not make commutation
proof to land with his wife in an
other state Notwithstanding the
fact that the affidavits were offered
to the effect the wife was in poor
health, etc. The government wants
its lands in the hands Of actual
settlers, and those who want lands
for speculation and not for per.
manent home are likely to have
trouble before they complete proof
and get their patent. Dickinson

Independent Farmer Man.

Troy, Kan, Chief: Buy a farm,
young man. No matter how small
it may be, buy farm and prepare
it so that your land will provide
you a living. Twenty years from
now the man who owns his farm
will be independent and will have
at his command the means of a
livelihood. The expansion of
manufacture can not go on forever
and there will come a day in this
country, as there has in others,
when the supply will exceed the
demand and the only absolutely
sure occupation will be farming.
Buy farm while one may be had.

cises Speaker.


Washington, March 28.-Mr. Shac
kleford (Mo) secured permission to
complete the remarks which he had
been interrupted in making last week
regarding a bill putting Missouri sol
diers ON the pension list. He read q
carefully prepared statement in which
he accused the speaker Of holding up q
most meritorious bill and. that the
speakers heavy hand had been placed
on the measure.
Then came most unexpected inter
ruption. 1t came from the speaker
himself. Rising from a seat at the
head of the center aisle, with cigar in
hand, his face pale In contrast with
the red carnation in his buttonhole
the speaker said:
"Mr. Chairman-Just second and
q second only. have listened to the
gentleman from Missouri, Mr.. Shackle
ford. II 1t affords him any consola.
ton to make me stalking horse on
account Of the quarrel with the minor.

Mr.. shackleford, with deep feeling
replied in the midst Of the confusion
which ensued owing to the speakers
unusual appearances:
II deny, Mr.. Speaker, that my quar-
rel with you has any such foundation .
