A $1,000 SALE

Adams County Record: Geo. w.
Krause is another citizen of Adams
county who has been we'll rewarded
for taking his chances as one of the
early homesteaders. He believed
that there was a bright future in
store for Adams county and showed
his faith by filing on a homestead
near Wolf Butte when this land
was being taken up-about three
years ago. Last year he harvested
big crop from the homestead which
paid him we'll for his labor on the
place. Incidentally he bought land
nearby making him a four hundred
acre farm. Last week he sold the
entire tract of 400 acres at $2S per
acre and received net something like
$4,000. Mr.. Krause will invest his
money again in Adams county land
and he is apt to be rewarded again
for his good judgment by doubling
his money within the next three
years.

promises to be large one. There
is also every prospect of a consid-
cradle increase in the acreage Of
corn and cotton, while farmers are
already at work using the very best
methods with which they are famil-
lar in order to secure the largest
possible yield per acre. 1t is quite
certain that efforts in this direction
have never been equaled in previous
years, thanks to the persistent en-
deavors to stimulate more scientific
cultivation which have been made
the last few years. If further evil
dences of the activity in the west
We're wanted, they could be found
in the regular reports of the rail-
road earnings, which are exceeding
ly favorable. In March So railroads
reported gross earnings of $65 900 900
nearly 16 per cent more than year
ago. For the first three months of
the current year So railroads report
ed earnings of 179,00O,000, an in
crease of $4,000 900, or over Is per
cent. Such a heavy percentage of
gain as the latter has not been seen
since the year 1900, which was one
of unusual prosperity for the rail-
roads. These returns chiefly in
clude roads serving the agricultural
districts, and do not cover the east
ern trunk lines, such as Pennsyl-
vania and New York Central, which
are also known to be making very
handsome gains in revenue. 1t is
worthy of note that the southern
roads have made large gains, not
withstanding the light cotton crop,
and that the western roads did we'll,
in spite of light grain movement.
The railroad situation would be EN-
inently satisfactory were it not for
the increased expenses forced upon
the roads by the demands Of labor,
and high prices for materials. La
Dor, however, is getting big share
of prosperity, and it is but reason
able to expect that stockholders,
too, should come in for better re-
suits, if present conditions are MAIN
tanned. Much will depend upon
the crops. If these prove good, the
year will be a satisfactory one for
the railroads.

JEFfR|ES alters
HIS SCHEDULE

Ben Lomond, Calf, April 25.-
Following the suggestion of Joe
Choynski, the new physical director
at Camp Rowardennan, Jim Jeffries
forsook the training schedule. If
he can be. prevailed upon to accept
the advice of his handlers, it will be
several days before the gymnasium
and the hand ball court see him
again.
The big fighter has been annoyed
during the last few days by skin
eruption on his back, a condition
diagnosed by Choynski as a serious
disorder of the blood. 1t is the train
er's opinion that Jeffries has been
working too hard since he went into
training and from now on the work
will be regulated with greater sys-
TEN.
Accompanied by Sam Berger, his
manager, Farmer Burns and party
of friends, Jeffries took an autOmo-
bile trip to Santa Cruz this after
noon, where the former champion
had a dip in the surf and enjoyed a
hot salt water tub bath. A swift
trip from the beach brought the par
ty to Ben Lomond in time for the
evening meal, at which Jeffries dis
played an appetite set on edge by
the sea breeze.

HORRIBLE Death
Of YOUNG Farmer

Napoleon, N. D., April 25.-Ole
Aszeldson, aged about 21 years, a
native of Norway, who had been here
only a few months, lost his life in
a horrible manner two miles north
of Wishek, being run over by a big
steam breaking engine belonging to
E. c. Bent of that place, with Henry
Alder, we'll known here, as engineer.
1t seems that the young man, who
accompanied the breaker outfit as
sort of general utility man, to look
after the plws and other work Incl
dental to the operation of the big
machine, was walking alongside the
engine to protect himself from the
chilly wind. 1t is supposed that he
stumbled and fell under one of the
big drivers. The engineer heard no
cutlery and did not know what had
happened until he looked around
and saw the mangled remains of the
unfortunate young man tangled in
the plows. The great weight which
passed over the form of the deceased
lengthwise crushed him fiat
He leaves an uncle noar Burnstad.

LODGE WITHDRAWS
Resolution

Washington, April 25.-In the

resolution asking sanction for the
expenditure of $4,000 to continue
the cost of living inquiry. This &C.
ton was taken on the ground that
the members of the minority party
We're conducting such an extended
debate upon the resolution as to in
terfere seriously with the passage of
the railroad bill. The committee
will continue the inquiry, however,
under the authority of the original
resolution.
The Crawford-Elkins traffic agree
ment provision of the railroad bill
was under discussion in the senate
during most of the day. Root spoke
in favor of the provision, while Dol
liver and Clapp opposed it.
In the house the senate was de-
voted to a consideration of bills re-
lating to the District of Columbia.

BOARD OF TRADE MEN
OBJECT TO PROBE

Chicago, April 25.-Chicago Board
of Trade men professed surprise
when they heard the reports that
an investigation into the operations
of the board of trade is to be made
by the department of justice.
The contention of the dealers is
that the board as an institution in
no way affects prices, but simply af-
fords a market where supply and
demand may have free play in fixing
the true, just, natural price.
"We would be as anxious as any
one to stop the cornering OF the
Market said President A. J. White,
of the board. Every time such a
deal as that in wheat last year is
put through it hurts legitimate bust
ness, but there is no way to prevent
it except by action against the indi-
vidual under the laws. We have an
open market here, and we cannot
say just how much a man may or
may not buy of any commodity"

MANDAMUS CASE TO Be
AGAINST BLAISDELL
BALLOT WILL BE SETTLED
BY COURT.
There Are Several Opinions and the
Court Will Select the Best One -
To Come Up Soon.

It may be that q suit will be start:
ed before long to determine whether
there will be one or two sets of can.
didates for the United States senate
on the primary ballots.
The question has been argued from
different points of law. Some au'
thorities take the ground that there
are two distinct places to be filled,
and there should be two divisions of
candidates on the ballot. one for the
long or full term, and the !/her for
the four year term, in succession to
the late Senator Johnson, in whose
place a democrat is now serving, w.
E. Purcell of Wahpeton.
Attorney Engerud, who is a candi-
date for the senate at the primaries,
in a long article published some time
ago, takes the stand that all candi-
dates should be grouped under one
head and the candidate receiving the
highest vote should be the man en-
dorsed for the senate.
Other candidates take different
view. claiming there should be two
places and each candidate should an
nounce whether he is candidate for
the long or short term. 1t is said
mandamus case may be brought
against the secretary of state, Alfred
Blaisdell, to get ruling of the ST.
preme court on the question.
The primary law with reference to
the senatorship is silent on this
question. There is no provision for
primary choice to fill a vacancy.

Tells why PORK
IS MUCH TOO HIGH

! Washington, April 25.-Why pork
chops and pork roasts cost more now
than two, three and four years ago
was the subject of expert testimony
given in the senate food probe today
by Peter w. Peterson of Clay county,
South Dakota.
Peterson makes a specially of rails
ing hogs. He said he sold porkers
at prices ranging from $3.50 a hun
dred pounds in 1900 to $6.5 in 1909.
The price then jumped to $3.50 on
an average from January 1 to this
week. Corn, the product on which
hogs generally are fattened, aver
aged 58A cents a bushel in 1908 and
56k cents in 1909, in comparison
with from 50 to 40 cents several
years ago.
"Now," said Mr.. Peterson, "pork
is high because there are not enough
hogs to supply the demand. Corn
is low because there are not enough
hogs to meet the supply
Mr.. Peterson showed that the av-
erage wages paid to farm hands had
almost doubled in ten years, that
the value of grain producing farm
lands had actually doubled in his
section, that the cost Of farm i'm
plements had increased rs per cent,
that clothing costs the farmer from
25 to so per cent more, and that
everything else he had to buy show
ed corresponding increases. Yet, he
said, he was making good profits
and did not feel the 1907 panic at
all.

HON. !. A. ULELAND
LOOKS FOR LOCATION

Kuhn Messenger: Hon. l.. A. Ue-

where he will endeavor to find a
location for the family. Mr.. LELAND
expects to spend two or three months
looking over the situation before
moving his family, he also wishing
to let them finish the present term
of school before taking them west.
The whole community hates the
thought of the LELAND fanny leav-
ing Edgeley, and it will be some
time before anyone can step into the
place in public affairs left vacant
by Mr.. LELAND. He always had the
good of the county at heart, and was
one of the best boosters North Da-
kota had. Here's hoping he will
decide to come back.

SWOPE SISTERS BATTLE
IN HYDE TRIAL

Kansas City, April 25.-Sister bat
tied against sister in the Hyde trial
here today. From the witness stand
Miss Margaret Swope, whom it is
charged Hyde attempted to poison,
testified for the state, while behind
Hyde's attorneys sat Miss Swope's
sister, Mrs. Hyue, directing the fight
against the younger woman's testi-
mony.
Seated where she could look d.
rectly into the eyes of the witness,
Mrs. Logan o. Swope watched the
duel Of the witnesses. Her SYM
pathy was with the younger girl,
because of her dislike for her SON.
in-law, Hyde. 1t seemed almost
certain when Margaret Swope walk
ed down the aisle Of the court room
today to take the witness stand that
she was going to speak to Mrs. Hyde.
She walked within a few feet of the
physicians wife, faltered slightly,
peered anxiously at her and passed
on. Mrs. Hyde apparently did not
see her little sister falter.
The spectators did, however, and
there was busy craning of necks
to get good look at the pair.
The best feature of Miss Swope's
testimony concerned her account of
how Hyde came to her room while
the lights were burning low one
night anad in the semi-darkness gave
her a hypodermic. The physician
walked into the room, rolled up her
sleeve and inserted the needle and
left, she said. DR.. Twyman was in
charge of the case at the time.
This arm later became sore. The
state contended the injection was of
"pus" germs and not camphorated
oil, as DR.. Hyde claimed.
