An UNUSUAL GRAZING CONDITION

Geo. Porter of Sharlow is spending
a few days at the Capital house and
like a good many Of the farmers
around the county is anxious|y
awaiting a warming up of the wealth
er sufficient to melt the snow from
near the roots Of grass and to allow
better grazing for stock. The condi-
tions this year are unusual as the
first fall of snow last November has
not yet entirely melted and stock
cannot easily get at the grass close
to the ground. Usually before this
time a warm spell of weather has
melted snow sufficient for grazing
purposes but this year there is con-
siderable of the first snow fall left
and as the wind was not heavy at the
time Of the snowfall. the snow re-
mained spread quite evenly on the
ground, and was alse kept fairly
clean. A few days of warm weather
to finish the melting Of the snow
would be highly appreciated by
farmers. (:

IDENTIFIED WATCH AND CHAIN

Two parties from Minnesota, Err

Hawley were here..Monday to identify
watches, in possession of Ernst Mil
ler, who was sentenced to 60 days in
Jail and who is serving his time.
States Atty. Thorp has in possession
the watches taken from Miller one of
which was identified by the initials
as belonging to Mcdonald. This
watch did not have the chain. Mr..
King identified the fob that was at
tached to another watch, which was
missing. States Atty. Thorpe will
hold the property until ordered to
turn it over to the Minnesota au-
thorities. 1t is likely that Miller will
be taken to Minnesota for hearing
on requisition papers after his term
here has expired. He stoutly main
tains his innocence but his stories
are rather hazy. ssa

"REMINISCENCES OF J. N. GRAHAM

An interesting incident in connec.
tion with the career of the late ].
NJ. Graham, is noted in a letter re-
ceived by Judge Conklin from J. T.
Butler, formerly of LaMoure, who
was an old friend of the late Mr.. Gra-
ham. Mr.. Butler Is now city clerk
in San Diego, CAL, and for number
of years resided at LaMoure. He
speaks in the highest terms of Mr..
Graham and of his fine character,
stating that he had known linn in
early days when they had tramped
together locating wild cat railroads,
with no pay and very little money
for expenses. At that time Mr.. Gra-
ham had made no special record Of
his native abilities, and the oppor-
tunity to do so did not arrive until
he made the acquaintance Of J. T.
Odell of the Northern Pacific, which
changed the tide and gave opportu-
mites for Mr.. Graham to show his
metal as a young man. In 1882, says
Mr.. Butler, Mr.. Graham superin-
tended and secured the completion
into the city of Dallas. Texas, Of the
Chicago, Texas and Mexican Central
railroad. This road had to be COM
pleted into the city on a certain
date. The work met with the ob-
struction of the city and county off.
ciaIs, and many difficulties had to be
overcome. but Mr.. Graham's courage
and persistence carried the day and
the line was in Dallas, on time with
four hours to spare. That feat OF
railroading opened up the avenues OF
promotion and Mr.. Graham was ad.
vanced during his lifetime more than
100 times, being near the top OF the
railroad ladder when death occurred.
Mr.. Butler states that his friend had
brains and courage and was in all a
most modest and unassuming char.
acter.

New York has majesty of its own

Chicago ugly. The New Workers. pre-

nearly true than that of the Europeans
about New York had been. Chicago,
in detail, is not beautiful, but as a
whole it is by no means ugly. Its

splendid. 1t is very like Buenos

him out of a reposeful attitude and

Savoyarde," the second largest bell in
Europe outside the two great bells of
Moscow, will be moved from its tenn
porary shed and hoisted to it's perma-
nent home in the dome of the Church
of the Sacred Heart. The bell is ten
feet high and weighs, without the
tongue, 10 tons. The latter is so big
that it requires 16 men to move it fer
striking.
The first time the bell was used it
cracked, and it has been rung only a
few times since. Once it has been
placed in the dome it's sound will carry
to the most distant precincts of,Paris
and to many points in the country.

is exceeded only by the great bell of

dominate Paris. The other is the Eiffel

IFFERENT in every way Is
the status of the Ameri-
can millionaire from that
of the European million
aire; and this difference
has impressed me perhaps
more than any other one thing during
my ten weeks stay in America"
Guglielmo Ferrero was the speaker.
Few foreigners who ever visited
America have had such opportunities
to judge of the conditions of million
airedom here and abroad as he has
had. He has talked in America with
such, representative members of their
class as j. Pierpont Morgan, Andrew
Carnegie and Jacob H Schiff, and in
Europe with such men as the Barons
Rothschild of England and France
With them he has discussed the pow
'ers that millions give to man, the
dangers to which his millions expose
him, the duties and the responsible
ties which millions impose upon their
poSsessors. Upon this subject he has
also obtained the views of the pro-
fessors of almost all the principal uni
versities in America and in Europe, OF
the leading Journalists, statesmen, au-
-thors, philosophers and plain, unm1l-
llOne0 business men. here ne has
stretched his long legs under the ma
hogany of millionaires' dinner tables;
he has lectured in universities that
owe their existence to millionaireS; he
has studied the comments of the press
upon the deeds and the words of mil
lionaires, and he has brought to bear
upon the subject one of the most
lzeenly analytical minds of modern
days Thus he has come to see how
and why the American differs from
the European millionaire.
This farewell talk was on the eve
of his sailing. Thanked by strapped
trunks and bullying bags, each piece
labeled hold" or cabin" he sat wait
ing for the express wagons that were
to take his baggage to the French line
pier. He was tired-'tired but happy"
to use his own phrase. For he was
closing a tour that had been unique.
1t had lasted ten weeks, and each one
of those weeks had been crowded
with work This work had been
notwithstanding writing and be-
ing entertained, the last no less
arduous than the others. He had pre-
pared and delivered 81 lectures and
addresses in English, French and
Italian at Lowell institute, Harvard,
Cornell, Columbia and Chicago uni
Versities, the University of the City
of New York, the University of Penn
sylvania and clubs and learned socie-
ties in many cities. This alone would
