The death of Rev. F. Matter oc-
cured Saturday evening December
%, at his home near Orient, South
Dakota.
He was born in Ransberg, Ger
many, May 20, lS4l. Soon after his
birth he was accepted into the king
dom of God by holy babtism. and in
due time received a christian educa-
ton. The desire of his souls life
was to become missionary of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. So accord
ingly he now began to study theology
In the year of our Lord 1859 he came
to America and continued his study,
becoming a graduate of theology at
the Wartbury seminary in st. Sc
bolt, Iowa, in the spring of 1868.
He was now appointed missionary
and sent to tn. Indian settlements,
where he served faithfully for A
years, until the Indian war broke
out, which made missionary work
in these settlements impossible.
Now his missionary work continu-
ed, locating possible organization of
congregations in Illinois, Minnesota
and other states. Thus his work
points out the pioneer days of hard
ship. which so loudly proclaim him
an energetic and sacrificing servant
in the vineard of his Master.
A call from Des Moines. Iowa.
was sent to him, which he accepted
and was accordingly appointed as
their standing pastor. During his
career in Des Moines, Iowa, he also
entered into matrimony with Miss
Anna Becker in the year of our
Lord 1870.
In the year 1883 this congregation
sorrowfully accepted the resignation
of their true and faithful servant
and pastor, and he went to continue
his Lords command, in a wider
sphere and tract which is always
the hunger of a true living mission
ary spirit. He located in Hand Co.,
So. Oak. The fruits of his work in
Des Moines, brought, a colony Of his
former congregation following him
even to Hand Co.
Here was now organized congre-
cation, and he was called as their
pastor, this call he accepted and con-
tinued his work. with self sacrifice
as a faithful servant of God unto
his death.
During the Christmas holidays his
exersions were as always unusual and
his services were numerous.
Week ago lest Saturday morning
the deceased had become unwell but
after medical ali. he had somewhat
recovered. After the supper meal
he had as usual conducted the even
ing devotion with all the members
of his family. His wife and himself
had retired, at 9 p. M, but in a
few moments she was aroused by an
unusual, repeated cough and her
call to him was unanswered un-
answered. He was departed. The
Angle of Death had come.

Under the primary election law
the people of the state are given
an opportunity to express their
choice directly and the indications
are that Mr.. Little will have nearly
the solid strength of the western
part of the state in his campaign.
The votes in the western counties
have been increasing for several
years and now they will hold the
balance of power in the primary
election. All that is needed is
for the voters of the western part
of the state to stand together in
their voting and Mr.. Little will be
the republican nominee for the
senate. The. press of the western
part of the state is practically
unanimous for MI. Little and our
peoples interests in this election
are to see that he receives practi-
cally the solid vote of the west
ern counties. With Little and
McCumber in the senate and
Hanna and Gronna in the house,
the state will have a delegation
second to none at Washington.
Senator McC umber is one of the
leaders in the senate. Senator
Hanna has been chairman of the
republican state committee and is
a thorough business man who
stands we'll all over the state.
Mr.. Gronna has served two terms
in congress. and is as capable as
any man who could be sent to
Washington. No better ticket
could be voted for at the primary
election.

THERE are a great many Car
negie libraries in the United
States, and so far as can be
learned they give general salts
faction. We know of no place
that has one that would be willing
to part with it. The prospects are
very favorable at this time for
Dickinson to obtain one, provided
the amount necessary to maintain
it is voted at the city. election this
spring. Dickinson has the repu-
tation of being a progressive, up
to-date city. This reputation is a
good thing to have and nothing
that we can do at this time will GO
further toward maintaining it than
the establishment of a good public

In the candidacy of Col. C. B.
Little of Bismarck for the United
States senate the people of this
western part of the state have a
splendid opportunity to vote for a
western man, a man who knows
the needs and desires of the
Missouri slope country and of the
country west of the river, and who
may be relied upon to look after
the interests of our thousands of
new settlers. Mr.. Little has been
a resident of Bismarck for more
than twenty-five years and has
been in line for every move for
the benefit of the western part of
North Dakota. 1t seems to US
that it is our duty to support a
western man for this position and
have a representative in the senate
at Washington who knows what
the people of this great section
want who will be in a position to
do more for them than any other
candidate in the field. The Mis-
souri, slope country is growing re-
markedly and yet for years the
representation in congress has
come altogether from the eastern
part of the state. Mr.. Little is
the equal of any man who has
held the position of senator from
this state and is a clean, active
and up-to-date business man, who
has had wide experience in legis-
.lation. Surely the candidacy Of
MI. Little gives our people out
here an opportunity that should
not be overlooked in the primaries

sentationSin congressisconcerned
