A SHINING MARK.
Two Well known Young Men Have
Fun at Expense of Lampshiner.

A good story is going the rounds
today and two we'll known young men
of the city are laughing up their
sleeves at the expense of discrepit
fellow who makes his living by doing
odd turns around the busy town. The
two young men were standing on
Third street. one with his foot on the
front wheel of an automobile belong
ing to ane of the elite. when the vic
tim of the laugh approached and in
quired in shrill voice, do you own
this machine?"
Eyes, sir. What can l do for you?
answered the young fellow, throwing
out his chest and assuming a gladia-
torial air.
LET me shine the lamps? I'll do
the job for $780,"
Cali right, go ahead" was the re-
joinder and the two young men saunt-
cred across the street to peer forth
from a safer vantage point.
Forthwith the sinner started work
and was we'll along with the second
lamp when the real owner hurriedly
left his officer. jumped into the ma
chine and jerked the lever so quickly
that it took few quick jumps for
the lamp victim to get out of the way.
At last reports he was sitting in a
detected heap on the curb with his
head in his arms and one of the lem
ons which he was using in the pro-
cess, clutched tightly in his fingers
and held up where he could have one
long and lingering look.

SEASON LATE BUT
CONDITIONS NOT
SERIOUS
Warm Weather Of Last Few
Days Has Done Much to
Cheer the Farmers.

The warmer weather prevailing over
North Dakota for the last two or three
days has done much to brighten up
the farmers, who have been feeling
rather blue at the continued cold.
With the sun spreading its warmth
all over the state yesterday, and with
continuance OF the same thing to-
day, there Is good reason for a cheer
ing up.
On the whole, however, conditions
are not so bad. The Red river valley
from Wahpeton to Fargo is in the
best condition for several years. From
Fargo to Hillsboro considerable work
has been done, but from Hillsboro
north 1t is late. In the country around
Devils Lake. Rugby and Towner far
mers have made good progress in the
past few days. but north and west
from there much delay is noted.
Langdon and Cavalier, Park River
and Cando are stations complaining of
delay; while Grafton sends reports
comparatively more favorable. Over
towards the north and west the coun-
ties of Bottineau. McHenry and Ward,
which are developing and becoming
bigger wheat producers every year,
seeding is behind in general. Across
the line in Canada It is even later.
In the more central country west
from Fargo. In Barnes and Stutsman
counties, the work is not up to date
The rapidly with which the farmers
of North Dakota can seed their land
when conditions favor is we'll known.
Five or six days of propitious weather
would advance work everywhere and
ten days of It would find the whole
area sown. But May Is is the date
that many farmers carry in mind as
the time when wheat should all be in
the ground and If they fail to finish
by that time they turn from wheat to
barley. fax or something else that ma
lures more quickly than wheat. Hence
tho the grain acreage will be big In
any case, and good crops may reason
ably be expected. the millers are dis
turbed for every day of the backward
spring suggests decrease in the
acreage devoted to the production of
their raw material.

MANY new MACHINE.
HOUSES ARE
FOUNDED
Implement Establishments Go.
ing Into Newly Settled
Communities Rapidly.

One strong evidence CT the growth
and prosperity of North Dakota towns
is the way in which new machinery
houses are springing into existence.
Gnfrightened by the exaggerated
reports of artic conditions in North
Lakota, which have circulated so free
ly in the east during the past few
months, streams OF immigrants are
pouring into the state and fast taking
up unoccupied land in the western
part of the commonwealth. These
immigrants are settling up the coun-
try, establishing prosperous farming
communities and building up new
towns. One of the first things which
they need after settling upon their
lands is farm machinery to cultivate
it. AS result the machinery house
is one of the pioneer institutions and
dealers are appearing everywhere in
the new towns.
In other cases men who were oblig-
ed to form partnerships in order to
secure enough capital to go into the
business have prospered so that one
of the partners is able to buy the
other out and continue the business
independently. Following is list of
few of the changes of this character
which have taken place in the state
during the past month.
At Anamoose, the firm of Schroeder
& Mueller is no more. F. X. Mueller
has bought out his partner and be-
come sole proprietor of the business.
At Bismarck. the G. w. Wolbert
Hardware Co. has succeeded the firm
of Grands & Wolbert.
At Melville, C. A. London has sold
out his machinery interests to ]. C.
Warren.
w. F. Senechal has recently gone
into the machinery business at Drake
and will carry full line of farm and
threshing implements.
Dornbush & Coverings is the name
of a new firm which has recently
started in business at Strasburg, n,
D. They will carry a large stock of
machinery of all kinds.
AS an instance of what is going on
all over the state there are three new
towns lying close along one of the re-
Gently built 500 extensions where no
less than nineteen machinery houses
have been established this spring
Eight new firms have established
themselves in each of two of these
towns. Plaza and Ryder. and three
others have started in at Douglas. All
are reported to be doing a thriving
business.
Among the new machinery firms
which have been started at both Ryder
and Plaza are the Peterson Machinery
& Hardware Co.. Paulson Bros. &
Peterson. Lumrey Bros, and Balshop
& Kruger. At Plaza. H. F. Nulter, A.
L. Holt and Carlson Bros. have also
started in business this spring; while
among the new firms at Ryder are
| Kennedy & Furlong
Bates Bros. and Mckay & Co. are
two of the new ones at Douglas.

PRAIRIE TYPE.
Northern Pacific Receives Four New
Monster Engines for North Dakota.

A part of the consignment of new
engines for the Northern Pacific road
went west this week. There were
four in number and each weighed the
enormous sum of 225,O00 pounds and
they are intended for the combined
passenger and freight service. They
are what is called the prairie type and
are similar to the forty new engines
that were received not long ago for
the Dakota service. The engines were
made by the American Locomotive
Co. and the tanks hold 5000 gallons
of water and the tenders twelve tons
of coal. They are powerful machines
of the compound type.

DEATH WAS NEAR THIS MAN
Russell Farmer Kicked by Horse, and
Is Rendered Unconscious-Wife
Was Watching Husband.

w. w. Hall, living southwest of
Russell. barely missed losing his life
when he received a kick on the head
from a horse which rendered him I'M
conscious. He had gone to the barn
to do the evening chores and while so
engaged received the kick. Mrs, Hall
was milking and saw the accident.
She procured stimulents and succeed
ed in restoring him to consciousness
and getting him into the house. Dr.,
Godfrey was called and dressed the
wound which is very ugly one. The
injured man is able to sit up at present
and will soon be able to be around
again. Had the kick been an inch to
one side it would have undoubtedly
killed him and if trifle lower would
have resulted in the loss of an eye.
A peculiar feature of the affair is that
his memory of the accident and the
events transpiring some time before
receiving the kick is a total blank,
while otherwise his memory is unim-
paired

State Grab Bag

The citizens of jamestown have
voted $4,000 bonds for new city
hall-the vote being 268 to %. Skidoo
for those who voted against it.
Some Enderlin boys hung a weight
on the whistle arm of a traction en-
CINE which was steamed up, and the
people thought there was q fire or
some other calamity.
The Valley City Patriot thinks
Packard a political freshie in the
state, and suggests that he become
acclimated before he attempts to run
the state. Packard could only be-
come acclimated in an institution for
the cure of incurable liars.
1t is to be hoped that the American
Society of Equity will not secure the
services of a lot of farmers as or
ganizers who farm only with their
mouths. That organization is reach
ing success because it has been
handled entirely by farmers.
A story comes from John Dinnie
of this city, who recently crossed the
Atlantic. that one evening as he was
leaning over the rail suffering all the
torrents of seasickness, the captain
of the Romantic passed by and good
naturally inquired If he was waiting
for the moon to come up. "My Cod"
exclaimed Dinnie. "does that have to
come up too?"
An effort is being made to organize
an Odd Fellows lodge at Berthold.
Geo. H. Cross is at the head of the
movement, and he says that a
large number of Odd Fellows in
good standing have expressed their
intention of Withdrawing from their
present lodges and afiliating with
the lodge there.
The old boys and girls who settled
at Gladstone May 2, 1882, celebrated

New Rockford, N. D., May S.-Jus-
tice Kinnaird's court was busy as a
bird dog in hunting season with a
case involving the ownership of a

and the costs amounted to over $3.50.

LISTENING.
its Importance In the Art Of Acting on

lie Importance In the Art Of Acting on
the Stage.
The reason why listening plays a
part of such paramount value on the
stage Is that II an actor is not deeply
Interested In what is going on In the
mimic world In which he has been cast
he cannot look for any real interest on
the part Of his audience, and the only
way In which he can denote that inter-
est is by the intensity with which he
listens to everything that has any bear
ing whatever on his life and actions
and the skill with which he expresses
the feelings bred of what he hears.
Listening is an art that Is not prop
erly taught In the schools In which
modern actors are trained. for while
voice culture has the place of high
honor that II deserves In the curricu.
lum Of every academy on Broadway.

the still more important business of

had learned how to make her various
