NORTH DAk0TA'S EXHIBIT IS BEST
Commissioner Of Agriculture Gtlbreaths Display Of North
Dakota prodvcts Won the Illinois Sweepstakes
and Grand Champion prize.

Shippers in North Dakota are wall
ing over the lack Of cars. Cars can.
not be had at the present time for
general shipments and agents all over
the state are swamped with orders
by shippers whose goods have been
delayed from days to weeks by the
lack Of shipping facilities.
All the officials Of the different
roads tell the same story. The COM
petition for cars is so close at the
present time that IL shipper wants
to secure q car he must have his or.
der in at least ten days before the
time designated for the shipment. The
heavy movement Of potatoes, wheat
and coarse grains, coupled with the
usual fall traffic has rendered the sit
uation difficult to the shipper.
Whether the situation will extend
beyond the fall wheat movement is
conjectural. The car situation is al
ready beginning to assume serious
aspects and the shippers are finding
that they are up against hard prop.
os1tlon. The only thing that the
agents can do is to promise cars at
the earliest opportunity. They are not
fulfilling the promises in many cases,
as shippers have ascertained to their
sorrow. The complaint Is general,
and Fargo merchants and shippers
will not be in a different position from
the shippers Of the Northwest in gen.
eral.
'Will the railroads be able to take
care Of the grain business from now
on?" is the question. The fact that
the crop was shorter this year than
last will not make and difference in
the amount offered for shipment be.
tween now and Christmas. The short
ness Of the crop will only become ap.
parent at the end of the season, so far
a. the shipments Of grain from the
country elevators are concerned.

MAY RESULT IN SENSATION.
North Dakota Authorities Investigate
Niles "Suicide."

Niles "Sutclde."
Sensational developments are prom.
ised in the case of Frank Clark, who
was said to have committed suicide
at Niles in the presence of his sweet
heart. Miss Daisy Dye, teregraph ope-
rator at Grand Harbor
Clark's father and other relatives
have secuted the theory of suicide
from the start, and G. Clark of Albert
Lea, Mimi, recently made a trip to
Niles for the purpose of investigating
the death of his son. Clark says that
his son was engaged to be married to
a young woman of Albert Lea. Miss
Dye declared at the time Clark died
that they were engaged to be married
and Clark committed suicide because
she had resigned her position to leave
for the West.
The coroner is severely criticised
for his failure to hold an inquest In
the case. Miss Dye is said to have
made an important statement to the
station agent at Niles just before the
shooting. This statement is known to
the officials. Letters written by Clark
to Miss Dye are said to throw consid-
cradle light on the tragedy and fur.
nish a positive motive for the act.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on States Attorney Thomas to
begin criminal action in the case.

agreed to allow the use of his name IL
It was desired to bring the matter into

that the number on the petition did

Excellent Advice

Beware of the gossiper. OF all hu-
man parasites who feast upon the
character of your daughter, wife or
yourself, this ally of the devil is the
most reprehensible. If yon are in
the least degree addicted to this most
debasing of all habits. shun it as you
would shun the very gates of hell.
There is nothing that you can do
that will lower peoples estimation of
you more than the practice of telling
dirty stories about your neighbors.
Don't strain your tongue and your
vocabulary talking about others. for
some day a tragedy may take up its
abode in your own home. The tongue
of the slanderer may some day cut you
to the marrow like two edged sword.
and the whispers of your neighbors
may be as vinegar to your wounds.
Some day one near and dear to you
may fall-the prison walls may open
to son or the scarlet letter of eterni-
ty may blight an innocent daughter.
When home is in mourning over a
tragedy the best thing you can do is
to Keep your mouth shut unless you
can say something cheering that will
come as rift in the dark clouds
Then, again, you may be no better
than your neighbor. The only differ
ence is that your neighbor was caught
and you, up to this time, have kept
the sunlight away. Beware of the
gossiper. shun the prevaricator, and
remember that "charity begins at
home. New Era.
