the conclusion arrived at by an inter-

case came to the writer's attention not
long ago. who one day told her mother
that since she was persuaded she
could never be beautiful in facial APP

make up for 1t by being good. unseif-

bearing fruit, and most winsome
and wholesome personality Is being
developed. Fortunate. indeed. also is
the girl with the pretty face and at
tractive bearing who has the wisdom
to appreciate that, after all. 1t Is ac-

Growing things in garden and field
should be cultivated frequently wheth-
er there be weeds to kill or not. and
especially is this true during dry spells
when there Is rapid evaporation Of the
moisture from the soil. Nothing is
more likely to check plant growth than
a baking and hardening Of the soil, and
this frequent cultivation prevents.

TRAVELLING MAN OBJECTS TO A
LAUNDRY BILL AND BE-
COMES ABUSIVE.
Landlord Hansen Shows His Pu0ilts-
tic Powers and Lands On His Abu-
sive Apponent.

Travelling men arriving in the city
Saturday evening tell of an exper-
fence they witnessed Saturday after
noon at Darlington.
1t appears that the landlord OF the
Kirkwood hotel at Darlington, had
some sort of arrangement over
laundry bill with Chas. Blaskelle,
who represents an eastern clothing
house, and, it is claimed, the latter
became abusive and used profane Ian
guage in the dining room Of Chas.
HansOn's hotel and in the presence
of ladies. It appears that the argu-
ment was carried out into the street
and to the depot where Mr.. Hanson
finally got to the stage where patience
ceased to be a virtue, and landed on
Mr.. Man With the Laundry Bill
Crouch, and with couple Of well
placed blows put him down and out.
In falling, Blaskelle struck on truck
standing on the depot platform and
received a severe cut over TIE right
eye.
1t is understood that Hanson was
arrested and paid a fine. 1t appears
to be the sentiment of those who
witnessed the entire affair that Hon
son had great provocation before he
struck the blow, and he has the SYM
pathy Of the travelling men.

OF FORUM Arrested

served this morning on General Man.

Brewer of The Forum.
H. H. Thompson of Cando, is the
complainant.
Sheriff Taylor of Cando served the
warrants in most affable and artistic
manner. AS long as warrants must
be served there is no official in the
business who could be more welcome
than the Towner county sheriff. He
was armed with about "a gripful of
papers and was liberal in his distrib-
ution of favors.
The charges of criminal libel grow
out of recent publications concerning
certain alleged school land frauds In
Towner county. H. H. Thompson, the
man who is after The Forum mems
scalp, is the eldest son Of the recent
U. s. Sen. F. L. Thompson, who was
appointed by Governor Burke to sue
coed the late Sen. M. N. Johnson and
afterwards resigned, being succeeded
by Hon. w. L. Purcell.
Brewer and Plumley were taken to
Cando Saturday afternoon and had a
hearing before a county Judge and
were held to the district court on
three counts Bail in the amount OF
$500 was demanded and given in each
case, and the gentlemen returned to
their home at Fargo the same evon-
ing.

ICE GORGES TO THE NORTH AND

Feet 10 Danger Line.

In speaking Of the breakup of the
river at this point last evening, OBJ
server O. w. Roberts stated that
there was positively no danger OF
there being any damage from high
water at this point this year. He
says there was an ice gorge as Os-
wego. Mont, about one hundred miles
west Of Williston; one at Mondak;
one about eight miles north Of Wash
burn and a small one at Expansion.
The water fiuctuated during the day
here and at last evening there
was an eleven foot stage. It Is ex-
pected the ice will go out here some
time this morning.
The danger point here is fourteen
feet and Mr. Roberts states that there
is positively no danger Of an over
flow this spring.

same time there is complaint of the
inconvenience of travel a hundred
and fifty miles to Fargo, instead of
fifty-six to Bismarck, when such WIS.,
its are needful. All in this county
will find the headquarters moved to
the extreme eastern edge Of the state,
instead of having them within three
hours ride, or days drive. What
economic power could have dictated
the change is hard to see. More than
80 per cent of the remaining entry
lands are twice as near bismarck as
Fargo, and the preponderance of new
settlement is this side Of the James
river.

eastern edge of the Bismarck land

Office, which has outlived its useful
ness, may continue to do business.
Settlers In the townships transferred
will have to travel more than twice
as far to reach Fargo than they
would be required to go to visit Bis

of the western part of the state being
Cow counties Is not yet dead in the
Red River valley.
Linton Republican,: Bismarckers,
and a lot of residents of Kidder
county, have a just ''holler'' coming
because the department of the in
terror at Washington has cut off a
slice OF the latter CONFECTIONERY In
the Bismarck land district-and added
it to the Fargo district. By this a
lot of homesteaders will have to make
proof at Fargo, hundred and fifty
miles, insted of Bismarck, only fifty
miles distant.

on the first of May the Fargo land
district will embrace all of Kidder
county and include township 14S In

will make a big change, and we fancy
the settlers in this section will have
