AS might certainly have been realized the fash

an old style of figured materials for bodice and
sleeves and there many figured materials,
combined With plain. This IS fashion that should
never be raShy entered into, for there always so
many cheap figured materials that be used to
carry out the idea and rarely If ever, is the result

time it is not suitable for many Of the new models
On a short skirt it is rarel possible so that at all
events the palmer tailor gowns be eliminated
from the category of those to be trimmed with
fringe. The long cloth silk gowns can be and are
being trimmed with fringe of varied lengths, so the
problem must be take into consideration later For

~ EASELESS is the effort made to obtain new

Il OF color and material so that entirely differ

slight task is this, and it is not Sc remarkable
that is considered worthy of the best talent and

such great variety to choose FROM either in order
to obtain variations in the original theme There are
weaves but the same fabrics there are new
shades but the colors so that it devoves upon
the well trained eye and hand to produce what will
appeal to the multitude.
At the moment there is much that is chaotic and
involved i'll the latest styles. The exaggeratedy
simple absolutely plain gown is not becoming to
every hgure nor is it easy to turn such gown if

One of the remarkable

The Forum republishes a recent
editorial comment of the Tribune
with reference to the coming meet
ing of the society of equity, and OBJ
serves that the Tribune "criticises"
the society. In the ordinary sense Of
the term "criticism" the Forum Is
mistaken. The Tribune merely made
some observations with regard to the
objects and purposes of the society,
and it's views as to the practicability
of controlling the price of wheat by
a combination of wheat growers. A
good, substantial and solid organiza-
ton of producers is good thing and
should be encouraged. The Tribune
has and will hold it's views with ref
erence to the possibility of control
ling the price of any staple crop, In
opposition to the law of supply and
demand, until it is demonstrated that
it is mistaken. But there Is no dis
position of the Tribune to pass any
criticism upon the society OF equity
that shall be unkind or harsh.

good quarter Of land close to the
school section, can afford to buy, a
quarter or stwosmore, iforshe not only
has the advantage of easy terms, but
he will have plenty of land for grow
ing crops OF corn, millet, timothy,
alfalfa, and other grasses, in addi-
ton to the land which he needs for
his grains. John Jones made the
land spectators go along some and
we are glad for the sake of the cOun-
try that the farmers secured so much
Of the land Not that we have any
thing against the man who wants to
buy our land for speculation, for we
invite capital into the state, but
where the farmer will break out the
land, and raise more crop, the spe-
culator will more than likely hold
the land without much improve
ments, and in time will probably sell
the same land to the farmer who bid
against him, but who got cold feet
when the land was knocked off to
the speculator for twenty dollars an
acre. The speculator will hold the
land till he gets perhaps $25 an acre,
and the time will not be very Tar
away.

to School.

Manning, Dunn County, May 49,
Flora, the eleven-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. O. Greger. who
live near Brooks, met death in a hor-
rible manner by being thrown from
her saddle pony and dragged for
about a half mile across the prairie.
The "details of the horrible affair
are meagere, the only eye witnesses
to the accident being two 'neighbor-
ing children; who were with the nm
fortunate girl. She started for
school in company with the Ftgley
children, all on saddle ponies. and
when about a mile from home
Flora's pony became frightened and
jumped to one side. The cinch was
loosened and the saddle turned,
throwing her underneath the pony,
and, in falling, her foot was caught
In the stirrup strap. The pony start
ed running and kicking and at every
step the young girls life was tarmp-3
ed out, all of her clothing being torn
from her body. The pony ran Tor
about half mile and stopped when
the lifeless form was released from
the saddle. The Ffgley children
were very much excited, but rode to
tae school house as fast az they
could and gave the alarm that Flora
had been -urt ind led the way to
the spot where the lifeless form was
found. Ahe body was then moved to
the Creger home, and on examination
it was found that the bones in both
arms and legs had been broken and
cuts and bruises we're found all over
the body. It was impossible to tell
from which wound death resulted. !:

Stanton, May 18.-During the past
week there has been considerable &C
tivity in the railroad affairs. Neal
Currie, the right-of-way man for the
Northern Pacific was in town Tues
day accompanied by the chief-en-
gineer and another party. Mr.. Cur
RE was securing the right-of-way in
few places where he had not been
able to get it before. He informed
us that the railroad was headed our
way and that the contract for the
grade was already let to within two
and half miles of Stanton and as
soon as the Stanton lot proposition
was settled they would let the con-
tract further. Tae engineer said that
it would only be short time before
the big steam shovels would be
throwing up the grade here. He
made arrangements for the keep of
an outfit of, surveyors who will most
likely be here the last of this week.
Numerous parties have been here
this week looking up businss loca-
tions. Let the good work go on.
Stanton is ready for the railroad and
it is true beyond a doubt that it will
soon be here. The whole of Mercer
county is booming; real estate values
increasing very fast and it would be

CARE IN FARMING.

EulCOT WluSnlp OI GTauu rO MS,
who is enjoying the fruits of many
years of tiol in North Dakota news
paperdom in trip through Europe,
makes some interesting and timely
comments upon conditions as he finds
them in Europe. In a recent letter
he writes of his observations of the
methods of agriculture in Germany
and Austria, and a few brief lines in
dicate why the empire is constantly
advancing in strength, thrift and
prosperity:
1--WE enjoy the ride from Villach to
Vienna very much, because the road
traverses very interesting country,
largely devoted to the raising OF
cereals, and cultivated with all the
painstaking care that lawns are CIV
en- In North Dakota. The fields are
rs clean and free from weeds as a
flower garden, and the groves, which
are numerous on the hillsides and
along the water courses, show the
utmost care, no dead limbs or under
brush or rubbish Of any kind being
allowed lodging place. We looked
In vain in the hills and byways as
the train glided along for agricul-
tural implements, vehicles and tools.
All were securely sheltered and
cared for as tenderly as the young
miss cares for and caresses her first
musical instrument. Industry, thrift
and economy are the distinguishing
characteristics of country life, very
pronounced all over Europe, but
more so in the Austrian and German
Districts *,
The quality of thrift is racial with
the Germans. and it Is rarely indeed
that the little German garden" does
not appeal to us as the climax of in
talligent efforts and care. Every part
Of it is carefully cultivated. and the
soil seems to yield more graciously
than under ordinary circumstances.
And it does. Nothing repays intelli-
gent cultivation and care as does the
soil. And, with the Germans, big
fields are cultivated with the same
wisdom and care as little ones. In
this country, we have had such, an
embarrassment Of riches In the quail
fly and quantity of land. that the nee
easily for extreme care, thrift and
wise economy has not been brought
home to our western farmers. The
time is coming, though, when it will
be necessary to make the very best Of
every care we have, and when that
time comes, the thrifty and provident
farmer will survive and his careless
and improvident neighbor will go to
the wall. The same qualities will
succeed in farming as in every other
line Of business. The doctrine OF
scientific farming is being pretty gen.
orally preached through the length
and breadth of the land, however,
and will have its effect. The time
will come when all of the arabic
acres in the west will be made fertile
and productive to the last degree.
Expert investigation will discover
what crops are best suited to differ
eat lands. New strains Of seed will
be imported. as in the case of durum
wheat, alfalfa, and other products
OF course, not all farmers can take
. trip through Europe to see for
themselves the results of intelligent
application in agriculture. But all
Of them can learn what has been &C
complished and can take the lesson
home to themselves. The farmer Of
the future will cultivate less land
and cultivate It better.
