desire to pay an humble tribute 10 the
memory OF j. Adolphus Hughes, Dolly as
he was Familiarity known, q member OF the
N. e. Church South, Poolesville. He passed
peacefully to his reward September Goth,
1907, aged SO years.
He never had the privilege of using his
hands and limbs, as he had been afflicted
from birth. He was always bright and
cheerful. His mind was fully developed.
Deprived of many pleasures which others
enjoyed, he was never heard to complain.
About twenty two years ago, under the late
Rev. j. II. Boyd's grand and eloquent ser
mons, he professed faith In Christ, and he was
bright Christian. Owing to his affection
he was unable to attend church years back.
Time recalls TO my mind when he Travelled
around In his little goat cart with an at.
tendant. Now his cart, his chair he occupied
at home and the one his friends had placed
for him 10 the church are empty. How sad
not to see the familiar form In them. He de-
lighted TO go to church, helpless as an inianl
90 he was.
His nieces and nephew, with whom he
lived, were untiring In their attention and
devotion to their afflicted uncle. Every
wish was gratifled. They would cit and
read TO him for hours some pretty book OF
the Bible which he loved.
The beautiful display Of flowers Of differ
ent designs with which his casket was GOV.
cred attested the esteem and honor Ia
which he was held In the community.
Lilies Affections are over.
He sinks 70 rest, sweet rest.
A loving friend, q.

They Picture Our Civilization for the
Past 500 Years.
The English and American lawyers
and judges have worked out a won

admiration of all who have competent
knowledge of it.
The system is formed by the reports
of the decisions of courts of last re-
sort.
There are probably now some $4,000
solumes of reports. giving the DISPOSE
ton Of hundreds of thousands Of par
ticular instances that have arisen in
tho actual course Of the ever chang

II every evidence Of our civilization
of the last 500 years should perish,
says the American Lawyer, and there
should remain only one set of the re-

science and philosophy, could be re-
constructed from them by the Gravel

CROP OUTLOOK BRIGHT IN N. D.
Seeding General Throughout the Stale According 10 the Reports
Received by Fargo Machinery House.

Seeding is in progress throughout
nearly the entire state and a good crop
is being put in according to the pros
pect reports which are being received
at the Fargo machinery houses. In
spite of the chilly weather which the
state has been experiencing of late
the farmers are all busy and cheerful
and the general prospects are bright.
Owing to the fact that the surface of
tho ground generally freezes at night
the farmers cannot do much seeding
early in the morning, but the days are
fairly warm and by the middle of the
forenoon the sun has thawed out the
ground SO that operations can be
commenced. The days at this time of
the year are long and it is possible
for the farmers to work late in the
evening so that they can make up in
this way for the time lost by not get
ting to work early in the morning, and
are accomplishing a great deal of
work.
In the counties in the southern part
of the state wheat is practically all
In the ground, according to the most
reliable estimates. Through the Gen.
ter of the state the farmers have com.
pleted large part of the seeding,
while in the northern part of the state
operations are well under way. TAX
ing the state as q whole about two.
thirds of the wheat is in.
Prospects in the Red river counties
are much better than they have been
for number of years. The ground is
In unusually good condition, seeding
is going forward rapidly and all that
is needed is a little warm weather to
cause a wonderful growth.
In discussing this matter Dan Stew
art, who has been in the machinery
business for number of years, said:
I'm my opinion conditions were
never better. The daily thawing and
freezing has mellowed the ground so
that it will not break up and become
lumpy. On account of the cold wealth
er nothing has grown as yet The
ground is unusually clean and the
wheat being put in now will get the
start of the weeds and should be able
to kill them out. During my twenty
five years experience in North Dakota,
although l have seen the crops in
earlier, I never saw conditions general
ly so favorable
D. w. Luke of Grand Forks, travel
ing representative for the Rumley
Thresher Co.. and Hugh Mcdonald,
the well known Valley City machinery
dealer, express similar hopeful views.
Conditions in the valley are the
best they have been for number Of
years." said Mr.. Luke. 1.-The ground
is comparatively dry SO that it is easy
to seed it and the farmers are all
hopeful"

CUTOFF COMPLETED.

q. N. Line to Coast Shortened by
Aneta.DeviIs Lake Branch.
The last rail on the Aneta-Devila
Lake branch has been laid, completing
what will be the main line of the Great
Northern railroad from st. Paul to the
coast, shortening the distance be-
tween these points by nearly fifty
miles. That this line will be used as
the main line seems positive, as it is
constructed more thoroughly and sub.
stantially than any other part of the
system, the steel used being the heav.
lest made.
Trains will be running regularly by
June 1, and probably the fastest mail
traits will pass over this cutoff. In
order to get to Devils Lake a bridge
over mile long was constructed over
Devils lake, an engineering feat that
was thought impossible few years
ago. Several Twin City wholesale
houses are arranging for buildings to
establish branch houses.

south they have had their growing
crops killed by heavy frosts and have
been set back many weeks, while we
are only little delayed in seeding.
The farmers of North Dakota stand
an excellent show Of getting big
price for their wheat this year because
the winter wheat crop is going to be
short. do not think it is particularly
late for seeding"
That the Farmers are looking con-
fident and are expecting good crops 10
evidenced by the way in which they
are buying machinery. Several diff.
ferent firms report that they cannot
get enough gasoline engines and plows
to meet the demands of their Gus.
toners, and the calls are coming from
all parts of the state.
In the new western part of the state
most of the old land is seeded, but the
cold weather is somewhat delaying
the breaking up of the new land.

Skeleton Dug Up Recalls Murder Of
Woman,


Woman.
The human skull and other parts of
1 skeleton, which were found in a
shallow grave near the end of the
Sixth etreet bridge at Jamestown last
week, are believed by old-timers to be
relics of a tragedy which occurred
there many years ago.
The victim was beautiful woman
who led gay life here, and it is re
lated that she was killed by a promi
nent farmer. It is said that the body
was placed in a barrel and rolled
down the hill and was buried near the
river by another man, who was paid
$50 to keep quiet about the tragedy.
The tragedy is said to have taker
place twenty-four years ago, and both
the alleged murderer and the mar
who buried the body are now dead
the former having been killed in 8
pistol duel and the latter mysterious
ly perishing in fire, many believing
that he, too, was victim of foul play
It Is said that there never was any
prosecution Of the alleged murderer
but that the matter was hushed up.

General reductions in passenger
rates to all points in the Northwest
and to the Pacific coast points will
soon be announced, effective July 1.
They will be due to recent legislation
in Minnesota and North Dakota,
whereby the Minnesota mileage is re-
duced to 2 cents a mile and North Da-
kota to 2 IL cents. The Minnesota
rate became effective May /, but the
North Dakota rate does not go into
effect until July 1. A. J.. Craig, pas
senger traffic manager of the Great
Northern, is authority for the an
nouncement that by July i the Great
Northern will have it's tariffs CON-
pletely revised, allowing all points on
its system to receive the benefit of the
lower rates in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
At present this is not the case.
Grand Forks, N. D., has Scent rate
from all points in Minnesota because
1t is outside of Minnesota and the bus
mess is, therefore, under the inter-
state regulations. East Grand Forks,
just across the Red River of the
North in Minnesota, enjoys the Min
nesota 2-cent rate, the difference
amounting to So or more on a trip to
the Twin Cities or Duluth.
After July 1 this will be changed.
Grand Forks will have the benefit Of
the Minnesota 2-cent rate from all
Minnesota points to East Grand Forks
on the Minnesota side of the river.
The same will apply to other North
Dakota points now compelled to pay
a Scent rate on all through business
from Minnesota. They will pay 2
cents to the state line and then, be-
cause of the lower North Dakota rate
to be effective July 1, will pay 2 1-2
cents from Grand Forks on.
Points farther west, in Montana and
Washington, will receive the benefit
