From the recapituation attacked to

interesting:

was assessed at 800. 260, ,525, because
its cultivated average was 68.1 per
cent. of the entire area. Price county
is the larger county of the two. In
the same year Iron county, with its
mines and mills, was assessed at
81, 357, POI, while Rock county's as
sessed valuation was s62, ,595,875. Iron
county has an area of 1856 square
miles: Rock county's area is TOO square
miles.
The difference is merely i'm develop
ment, not in natural resources or
wealth.

From letter received from John
William Huey, of Minot, n. D..
he says that he is not very well
impressed with the west. He went
as far as Seattle, and found things
very much overdone, living expenses
high. and wages not in proportion.
In Minot, he says wages are three
dollars per day for ten hours work,
and that he is only obliged to pay
four dollars per week for good board
He says he finds things in North
Dakota very much better than they
were farther west.

Father L. j. Vaughan.

AS dramatic orator Father Vaughan
has no superior. His magnetic person
ality is the very essence of eloquence
He presents great truths as visibly as
flashes of lightning. He has the rare
power of making popular the clasica
lecture. His past experience before the
footlights has given him perfect con
troll of his powerful voice, and this, witt
his fine presence and dramatic delivery
combine to thrill his listeners with the
great truths he has to present.
His Interpretation of Shakespearear
characters is equal to that Of the great
est orators of the day.
He speaks with authority. There il
neither a dull sentence nor a moment
that is not charged with magnetic
power.-At the opera house February

phys Sentence.

Major j.. S. Murphy, prominent psli-
tician and business man Of Ward county,
former Indian agent at Fort Berthold,
afterward member of the legislature and
at one time candidate for the position
Of commissioner of Indian affairs, was
Friday last sentenced to year and six
months in the state penitentiary for the
crime of forgery in the third degree.
The specific charge against Major
Murphy was the forgery of road tax
receipts. A stay of proceedings was
granted to permit the preparation of an
appeal to the supreme court and it is
likely the matter will be taken up by the
supreme court at the March term.
