The Forum published at Waubun
on the White Earth says: "The old
Pembina trail. which passes east of
this village. will probably disappear
within the next few years. before
the march of the plowman. There
are five tracks in the trail-a new
one being started each time the ruts
got too deep-and the amount Of
traffic that has passed over it has
been quite extensive. One or two of
the tracks show plainly the path in
the center where the oxen that pull
ed the Red River carts-which was
the passenger coach of the early
days-have walked This trail was
the main highway along which the
first civilization travelled into the
lower Red River Val ley. and the part
of it through the reservation is
about all that is yet visible and in
use of the historic old road" =.
The same PembiAa trail passes
through Marshall county, and makes
an ideal road still where so used.

Market Day, Saturday, June 9th
informed S25 a bushel. He declined
saying it was too much money, and
that he was farmer himself and
was not in the robbery business.
Killed by the Train.

The north bound freight on Tues
day night ran over and killed man
lying on the track between Stephen
and Donaldson. The engineer notic-
ed an object on the track but
thought it was piece of paper or
article of clothing. After he had
passed over he realized that it Was
something else and stopped the
train. Investigation revealed that a
man had been run over, the head
being severed from the body and his
hands cut off. 1t was learned later
that the mans name was Jack Mac
Donald. laboring man, who has
worked for John ]. Damman near
Stepnen. He had evidently been
drinking and returning from town
had laid:down on the track to sleer
his last sleep.

John H. Grass. of Fergus Falls. is
candidate for the Republican no.
mination for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. He is an intelligent
and successful business man of the
aforementioned city. and has also a
great deal of experience as farmer.
a stockman. and a grain buyer. AS
president of the Minnesota Shippers
and Receivers Association. he has
thoroughly familiarized himself with
the question of railroad rates. and
has taken leading part in the fight
for just an equitable rates for his
city. Mr.. Grass is fully conversant
with the needs of the people in this
part of the state as to railway con-
troll and regulation of freight rates.
He would no doubt make valuable
member of the Railway Commission,
and the Sheaf believes that as re-
preventative of the Red River Valley
he is entitled to the support of this
section of the state.

It is related that an old Atchison
colored woman. who has a great
many children. takes in washing.
and works like a slave. was called
upon bv a doctor and a health officer
last winter. during the smallpox
excitement. who told her she must
be vaccinated. The old colored
woman was good and mad. She said
she had no time to stop to be sick
with vaccination. and. besides.
could not spare one of her arms {:
that the children would starve and
freeze if she could not do her Iaun-
dry work. Then the doctor said /:
swell. auntie. [ will vaccinate you
on one of your lower limbs" "No.
siree.' said the colored auntie, 81
can't spare one of my legs either. -
Then the doctor said kindly: "Well.
what spot could you spare, because
you must be vaccinated.' - The old
colored woman thought and thought.
and finally said slowly. ''Well. Lord
knows: I don't never get no chance
to sit down. '-Atchison Globe.

SUICIDE BY
SHOOTING HIMSELF
James SIonek, a Farmer at Work
in Tabor Township Ends
His Life. "

James Slonek. a farmer working
for his. brother on the latter's farm
on sec. 81, town of Tabor. shot him
self Monday afternoon and immedi-
ately died. No cause for the suicide
can be ascertained.
At the time of the shooting he was
at work ploughing. Slonek was un-
married and was about IS years old.
The coroner was notified and he sent
DR.. Chaplin. of Euclid. to the scene
of the suicide.
From statements made by parties
from Tabor, it appears that the
brother of the one who committed
suicide was owing him S1.10O. that
he had repeatedly asked for settle
ment. but instead of giving him
satisfaction, kept ''joshing'' him,
and telling him he was crazy. Mon
day he again asked for the money
due him. and the brother. it is stat.
ed.' told him he was going to have
him sent to the asylum at Fergus
Falls. A little later the township
assessor made his appearance in the
distance and as he was coming over
toward the two men. the brother
told him that it was the sheriff anC
that he was coming to take him tt
the insane asylum. Thereupon thu
frightened man took revolver anC
ended his life. That is one story
of the affair. The result Of TIN
coroner's investigation has not beer
revealed.

Passed Fiftieth Milestone.

The state of Minnesota is half a
century old. Fifty years ago on the
eleventh of May congress passd bill
providing for the admission of the
North Start state into the Union.
The news of the signing of the
bill by President Buchanan
reached Minnesota by a telegra-
phic message to Prairie du CHEN,
Wis. which was the nearest
elegraphic station at that time.
The first newspaper reports of the
event were published two days later,
by the Daily Minnesotan. That
paper said editorially:
''We are state Of the Union.
No longer barbarians we are within
the Chinese wall of the confederacy.

Eradication nOfCanadian ThiStleS.

In manv districts that ale badly
infested with Canadian thistles
farmers are anxious to know what
system Of cultivation or what method
is most effective in keeping the pests
in check or eradicating them from
the field. A farmer gives his exDer-
ience in a recent issue of Breeders
Gazette. His opinion is that me-
thods tested by farmers of exper-
ience have taught that summer
following the ground produces the
best results. Moving the thistes
twice year just after the flowers
open, usually in July, and again in
August, will keep the plant in SUBJ
lection. This prevents the thistle
from seeding and serious, injury to
the growing crops may be avoided.
Canadian thistles are often killed
by moving as heavy rain sets in
during the later part of June. OF
early in July. when the stalks are
hollow and the thistle is in bloom.
Eunqous disaese attacts the moist
stalk and this induces decay.
Another good way is to harrow
the field when plowed in June and
do this at least once every two
weeks, so as not to allow the weeds
to get green above the surface of the
ground. Through its green leave:
and by the action Of the sunlight up
on them the plant receives its great

y colt belinging to f. L. Taylor Of
North Augusta took q somewhat wild
run yesterday afternoon. but luckily
escaped with little or no injury to
himself Or the sleigh to which he was
attached. Mr.. Taylor left the animal
at the door in charge of his wife while
he went out to the mail box to collect
the mail. and as he turned to go back
to the house Mrs. Taylor went into the
house. whereupon the colt started and
ran, jumping down four-foot en-
bankment into the road and splitting
the furnishings from the sleigh but
doing no injury. He then ran up the
road for more than mile and was
finally stopped by some men on a
team which blocked the road.
