writes Leroy Scott in the April
Worlds Work A man who was try

AT the best possible rate, fell into the
clutches Of one Of the shrewdest of the
siirewd. They had a hong talk, and the
agent said he'd try to get some com

saw the man again, he submitted, with
the appearance Of excited triumph, an
offer directly from the president
that included a confidential rate and
special provisions that were made only
in certain prominent cases. The man

PRICE VIII. 1 INCREASE 3

Browns Farmer We all know that
there has been a great advance in the
price of farm lands all through the
central and middle west We are well
aware that farm lands here in North
Dakota haye increased in price one
hundred per cent within the last few
years. Jan we reasonably expect the
same advance in farm values in the
near future? II think we can, for our
lands have hardly kept pace with the
rapidly advancing prices in the central
states.
Forty years ago land in Illinois
could have beenAbouglit for $$Io an acre;
today this same land Is selling for $50
to $I75 an acre.
Minnesota, South Dakota and North
Dakota have enjoyed the same steady
advance during the past six years OF
course land here does not command
any stch prices as are obtained in IL
hnois or Iowa, still we have this de-
.cided advantage over our brother
farmers in the above named states,
viz: our land IS going to In
crease right along, while they
can't hope for any further In
crease, for when ii comes to
paying over $Ioo ali acre for land for
general farming purposes, speaking
from d standpoint Of an investment,
1t is poor proposition. And SO, 1T
has happened that during the past half
dozen years the owners 81 the high-
priced land have awakened to this fact,
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1906-03-27

lows and warns up and becomes more
responsive and we get better returns
for our labor
Finally, ais one who has lived here
since territorial days, let me say to the
small farmer, the renter who has no
home, come out here while the
land il yet cheap and within your
reach come out into the most llealtilful
country on God s footstool, where with
two hands and stiff backbone you
can secure home 81 which yon will be
proud, which will be a competency in
your old age and heritage for your
children.

In,estieation Of Canned Meats.

The Massachusetts Board Oi Health
Yesterday made public the result OF lis
investigation of canned meats. The
board examined nearly $50 different
kinds of canned meat, from every pos
sibe source, as well as the canned meat
establishments.
1t was found that many of the prep
arations contained large amount OF
foreign matter. Oh one brand OF potted
ham, prepared by a western firm, the
report states;
"This was found to consist of small
amount or normal muscle, considerable
epidermis in large pieces, numerous
blood vessels and nerves and the sslivary
gland, ground to paste. Quality poor,
the material being largely scrap"
Of another western potted ham the
report says:
abundant muscle fiber, considerable
epidermis, much granular debris, some
fat and cornmeal. Quality fair, but in-
ssmuch AS there appears to be no excuse
Tor the presence Of cornmeal, 1t must be
regarded rs adulterated
A number of the other products, the
board of health states, contain cornmeal.
The board says:
"Deyied ham is, or should be, ham
to which seasoning has been added.
The majority of deviled hams in the
market, howeve contain added material
which IN no way can contribute to q
sharp taste, or, indeed, to any taste.
Cornmeal, for example, adds nothing
to the flavor, but it is cheap and
enables a meat product to carry con-
siderable additional water"
Several brands of prepared meat were
found to contain either boric acid ol
bOrax as preseryative. One western
"chicken loaf" is thus described:
every little muscular fber mucf
connective tissue and corn. 1t is pre-
served with either bcric acid or bOrax
The label states that the material is o
superior quality. having been carefully
selected and inspected according to th'
law enacted by Congress March 8, 1891
relating to the inspection of meats.

Conductor Charged with Murder.

Nathan NJ. Riggs, passenger con-
ductor on the Omaha road, was arrested
yesterday at Elroy, Wis, on the sus-
picion that it was he who on Tuesday
mortaly wounded Miss Mlllie Ellison
in the National Hotel in Minneapolis,
and then ignited her dress, over which
he had poured alcohol.
1t has been established that robbery
was the motive of the crime Miss Eli
son recently sold her large millinery
store in Ellsworth, Wis, and few days
ago came to st. Paul and Minneapolis
bringing about 1900 in commercial
paper. Her relatives understood that
she and Riggs, who had been keeping
, company with the woman, were plan
ming to invest in lands out West.
! The man who registered at the hotel
as "NVilsOn' the same hour that Miss
Ellison took room there, and who Is
supposed to be Conductor Riggs, went
with the woman to a bank Tuesday
morning aud waited near the teller's
window. while she cashed checks amount
ing to SAIL That was the last seen OF
the woman until employees OF The hotel
broke into her room and found her cl0th-
ing on fire. But it has been learned
that her companion went fIom the bank
to the hardware store and bought the
hammer with which her skull was crush
ed, and later to drug store and bought
large bottle of wood alcohol, saying he
was going camping aud wanted 1t for
fuel.
Three hours after the murder, Riggs
took his train out to Minneapolis. Be-
ing the conductor, the detectives never
suspected him. A few stations down the
line Riggs was handed telegram in-
slrucling him TO arrest the murderer,
whose description was given fully, If he
should be on his train. Such instruc-
tions were given TO men in charge OF all
outgoing trains. Riggs read the dispatch
without agitation. The fact that he
showed no unusual interest in the death
of his l1ug time friend is against him.
Riggs has q wife and sixteen year old
daughter in Minneapolis. Relatives Of
Miss Ellison, who came of an excellent
family and whose reputation was without
blemish, declare that Riggs had deceived
her regarding his family relations, and
that she was preparing to become his
bride.

According to the police, a man named
Samuel Lockett is at present serving q

French jewellers, Clattauer Brothers,
who was in London on behalf of his
house. He carried sample diamonds
and other Jewels to the valne of $50, 600
in small hand satchel. 1t is alleged
by the police that Stellman and Lockett
followed the salesman about, and when
the salesman entered drug store in
London aud laid the satche down the
salchel was changed for one looking
identically the same. The loss was not
discovered until later.

Instead Of alcohol, which even In small
