Look Aloft.

In the tempest of life. when the
wave and the gale
Are around and above, if thy foot
ing should fail.
If thine eye should grow dim and
thy caution depart,
Look. aloft" and be firm and be
fearless Of heart.
If the friend who embraced in pros
perity's glow,
With a smile for each joy and a
tear for each woe,
Shonld betray thee when sorrows
like clouds are arrayed,
Look alOft" to the friendship which
never shall fade.
Should the visions which hope
spreads in light to thine eye.
Like the tints of the rainbow, but
brighten to fly,
Then turn, and through tears of re-
pentant regret
Look aloft' to the sun that is new
er to set.
Should they who are dearest the
son of they heart.
The wife of thy bosom in sorrow
depart.
Look aloft" from the darkness and
dust of the tomb
To that soil where affection is ever
in bloom.
And, oh. when death comes in his
terrors to cast
His fears on the future, his pail on
the past,
In that moment of darkness, with
hope in thy heart
And a smile in thine eye, look
alOft" and depart.

Steele, N. d., Arril 5.-The people
OF the city are practically all in favor
Of the erection of a rev schoolhouse
for the accommodation Of the pupils Of
this district. 1t will be necessary to
vote an issue of bonds for the purpose
and it is expected there will be a $780,
600 proposition put before the people
this summer. In order to make the
issue of so large an amount legal 1t
will be necessary to wait until after
the meeting of the board of equaliza-
ton meets, as the present valuation is
not sufficient to warrant that amount.
1t is expected that the basement will
be put in this fall end the building
started in the spring and be ready for
occupancy at the opening of the fall
term in 1911. The new building will be
OF eight rooms and the plan now Is
to build 1t so that 1t Wi. be possible
to build more rooms on as they are
needed in the future. At tie present
time the school is rated as a third
grade high school, but the course of
study Is the same az In the second
grade high schools OF the state.

Bismarck. N. D., April 5.-Edward
Engerud, candidate for the United

campaign at Minnewaukon this week.
Senator McCumber will begin his can
Vass as soon as his duties at Washing
ton will permit. II is reported he may
issue a challenge 10 Marshall and

issues on the stump.
Reports from Minot are to the effect
tnat 9. A. Johnson is in the guberua-
torial race for keeps" and that there
Is no prospect of his withdrawal. re
believes he has good chance for win
ming the republican nomination and the
election. 1t is his view that the al
vertising he obtained in his campaign
two years ago is valuable to him in tie
campaign this year.
There Is a remarkable scarcity of
candidates from the western part of
the state. The big territory west of the
Missouri river furnishes only three can
dldates for office. and those not of the
nrst Importance. A geographical dis
tribution OF offices is no longer possible
under the primary law. AT present the
Red river valley has both United
States senators and both congress-
men. McCumber and Purcell are from
the same town, and Hanna and Gron-
ma come from nearly adjoining coun-
ties.

yesterday which started by the explo-

shop Of Dick Real entailed a loss
of over $4,000 upon which there was
no insurance. The fire gained con-
siderable Roadway before the alarm
was turned in and by the time the
department, reached the scene the
building was an entire mass Of flames
and entirely beyond control. Mr.. Real
conducted a regular extensive business
and within few days would have
delivered a set of fixtures for a new
drug store which are valued at near
ly $4,000 There was other unfinished
work in the building and the shop it,
self was a rather substantial building
being 25x1o0 and two stories high.
There was a high wind blowing in
the direction of the business section
of the town at the time of the fire and
there were several small blazes start
ed but they were attended to by the

SAID G. n. WOULD
FOOT The BILL

Bismarck, N. D., April 5.-Police-
man Martineson picked up Ros- Sim
ington at the 500 depot yesterday af-
ternoon and placed him in the city jail
awaiting the arrival of officers from
the jamestown asylum from which in
stitution Symington had escaped Sat-
urday evening. The man had called
at the ticket office OF the 500 and asked
for a railroad ticket and told the
agent to charge 1t to the Great North
ern and that his uncle was Superin-
tendent on a western division of. the
road and would pay for the ticket as
soon as the bill was presented to him.
When Martineson was called and saw
the man he recognized him from a
description that had been sent out by
the asylum officials. Symington is
Harmless and has never at any time
been violent but has an idea that his
health has been undermined by hard
work and that he should go west to
a resort and recuperate He will get
the resort but 1T will be to the east in
stead of the south.

Bismarck, N. D., April 5.--State En-
gineer Atkinson reports that applica-

streams in the western part Of the
state are coming in daily, the water
applied for being for irrigation pur-
poses. The farmers are realizing that
that water now running to waste down
our coulees and streams can be con-
served and be made of great value as
an aid to intensive farming operations
Many such farmers throughout the
state last year by use of the diversion
Of flood waters raised 35 bushels of
wheat to the acre and over 100 bushels
of oats. The use Of this surplus water
being an insurance against hot winds
or drought. The state engineer believes
that it is only matter Of short time
before all the water from our streams
and coulees will be utilized in this
matter.

THUGS AT WAHPEToN AND
ROBBED.

wahpeton, ". d., April 5.-Albert
Moe, a man well known in WahpetoH
and Breckenridge. was murdered here
on Sunday night.
He was stabbed with o knife and
beaten over the mead and face with a
club. Then his bleeding body was
thrown into the Red river in the ex-
pectation, apparently, that the water
would hide the evidences OF the brutal
crime for time at least and give his
slayers chance TO escape.
Noes money and watch are missing
and he was no doubt killed for them
by thugs who about this season OF the
year infest the bridge, between the
two towns and the adjacent shores.
Officials arc investigating and the
coroner is holding an inquest.
The body OF Moe was found this
forenoon by passersby, and was taken
from the river.

to Montividio, Mimi, last fall reports
that he will return with his family
this summer and stay with us again or

land out there.
Ole A. Nelson, cohn Hangar, Fred
Sollyen, Fred Bergum and Miss Anna
Sollyen all of Sheyenne township and
Gilbert Sletmon and son Peter, filed
homestead entry at Great Falls recent
ly.
There are nearly twelve persons who
will move from Sheyenne township to
Montana, where they have homesteads
The spring work has already begun,
but no seeding. We all hope for a
good crop this season.
Nikolan Ludal has installed cleo
trio lights in his fine residence. They
are working as good as any in the
large cities.
The new buildings on the experiment
farm at Mcleod are already under
Wall SOOH Do COulpISLSus
There are a number Of carpenters at
work. Mr.. Christians The manager of
the farm, is there already supervising
the work. New machinery is also COM

sown on that farm was winter rye
which is coming along fine.
The new church 1T Mcleod is Eear-
ing its completion. 1t will be a fine

Rumor has it that we will get not
one but two railroads through here.
That one is to go on the north side Of
the Power west 20 Enderlin, and one
is to coma from Wahpeton through
Sheyenne going northwest. III this re-
port is to depend upon this part of the
