Stuttgart Hopes to Get shons.

Siuttgart.-With the completion cf the Arkansas Central & Eastern rail. roa1 between this city and England, the belief is current that the Cotton Belt railroad may decide to remove their shops from Pine Bluff to th's city. People who watch railroad s.f- fairs say that the Cotton Belt offsc- ials have something unusual up their sleeves for Stuttgart, as the outlay of cash here has been unusually large, and the most natural conclusion is that they may be planning to erect shops here.

Practical Application Needed.

It is not talk so much that the farm CTS need now but some practical ap. plication of what they already know It is we'll enough for the fraternal end of the union to be kept going, but it is on the cards that the business end is going to progress as we'll. The stock holders through their boards of di rectors and managers of warehouses should look out for their own busi ness interests while the officials work the membership up to keeping in line and help the business by their patronage.

Marooned In Medora
Medora, N. Oak

Oct. 30, 1910.
Dear Editor:-
One cannot speak Of .Medora
without certain reverence for
this trading post on the Little
Missouri. for it was here that
our illustrious statesman, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, once came to get
his provisions and mail in the
early eighties. 1t was here, also,
that Marquis DIES Mores, that
grand old French promoter,
started one Of the largest packing
industries west of Omaha and
built his home in sight Of the
forsaken town.
All that now remains in Medora
of our beloved Teddy are the tales
that are told by the few stray
CLING cowpunchers who gather at
the Rough Riders Hotel, and the
only evidences of the Marquis are
the trust beatcn' ard scattered
ruins of the packing house.
Thus, Medora, where our ex-
president could have been seen in
years gone 10y and where Marquis
des Mores unfortunately estab-
lished his packing house, is now
but an empty scene Of all this
romantic history.
1t is in a little village like this
that | like to spend a day, away
from the whirl of the everyday
busy business life, and sit and
dream to while away my time.
If it were not for the court house
there would hardly be noise ex-
cept that made by the occasional
sound of horses hoofs on the lit
tie gumbo flat where the hotel is
situated. A hotel man here
could no more support modern
hotel with the patronage that he
receives than Cook and Peary
could run hotel with first-class
accommodations at the north pole.
AS sit and dream of the
Golden West in ten years from
now, girded by railroads, covered
with fields Of bumper crops, and
dotted here and there with many
rapidly-growipg metropolitan cit
les, and then think of Medora
isolated away in these bad.lands
like a lonely isle in the Pacific
ocean, with nothing but by
gone tale-which would compare
favorably to 1.-THE Legend of
Sleepy Hollow" l know that the
people Of the Golden Valley will
not want to look into this out
of.the.way place for their county
seat. Very truly yours,
A. VISITOR.

A car loaded with very valuable
and large telegraph poles belong
ing to the Northern Pacific rail-
way company caught fire here
Wednesday evening. The local
crew was summoned from Sentinel
Butte and the car shunted onto
the outfit spur at the west end of
the yards, where both car and
poles were reduced to ashes. The
poles were for use in rebuilding
the telegraph line between Dick
inson and Glendive. Sparks from
an engine are supposed to have
been the cause of the blaze.

OF his compatriots were conveying

The county division meeting at
Burkey Sunday was a very salts
factory one, both in point Of at
tendance and the amount of good
accomplished. The farmers down
in that neighborhood took lively
interest in the matter, and it is
now safe to say that IS per cent
of them is in favor of the pro-
posed segregation. They realize
that the formation and organiza.
tion of Golden Valley county will
effect considerable saving to
them, and at the same time they
will be enabled to reap some
benefit from the taxes they will
pay in the shape of roads, etc.,
besides having a shorter and
easier way to reach the county
seat. And at that, their taxes
will be less than they are pay.

Jesse Edwards Sentenced TO Seven
Years.

wadestoro Me,senger ana lntellgeneer.
BY agreement Of counsel, Jesse
Edwards. who killed his brother,
Cyrus Edwards, several weeks ago
in Burnsville township, plead guilty
Of manslaughter. The story Of the
tragedy was told Judge Allen by Mr.,
John 7. Edwards, father Of the de-
PENDANT, who was an eye witness Of
the shooting. Mr.. Edwards state
ment was substantially the same as
the account in the Messenger and
Intelligencer, and in The Journal, }
Immediately after the killing. He
said that Jesse had complained Of
feeling bad the day Of the killing,
which was Sunday that Cyrus went
to preaching and returned in the af-
ternoon. When Cyrus returned,
Jesse, who was sitting on the front
porch, went into the house and stay
ed a short time. Upon returning to
the porch he asked Cyrus if he
thought he was crazy. This ques-
ton he asked twice, Cyrus reply be-
ing that he did not know. The
shooting followed Immediately, Cy-
rus being instantly killed.
DR.. f. S. Ashe testified that Jesse
Edwards was sufferer from recur-
rent insanity, and stated that in his
opinion he was insane at the time Of
the killing, though perfectly same at
present The doctor also told Of
Jesse having been confined, in 1907,
in the State Hospital at Morganton.
He escaped from the hospital after
having been there short time, and
the authorities made no effort to re-
capture him, as he appeared to be
getting along all right.
In passing sentence on Edwards
Judge Allen stated that he thought
the case had been allowed to take
the best possible course for both the
State and the defendant, as he did
not think that Edwards would have
been convicted by jury. Edwards
was sentenced to a term of seven
years in the penisentiary, the under
standing being that the authorities

Have.

move the plant from Albemarle to
some other point in this section ow-
ing to the inability to get suitable
location there for an enlarged plant
This school is under the direction
and ownership of the Mecklenburg
Presbytery and its design is to fur
nish education for young women
regardless of denomination, who
have not the means to pay the high
prices prevailing in most female
schools. Not only are the charges
kept very low, but opportunity is
given to needy young women to work
their way through. The supporters
Of the school, finding the greatest de-
mand for its services, and being con-
WINGED that several hundred pupils
are ready to enter it Just as soon as
the facilities can be increased, have
determined to enlarge the school to
accommodate large numbers. They
expect to get some large contribu-
tons to be used in equipment and
buildings. What they want now is
to secure suitable location. They
naturally expect the town that wants
such an institution to make a dona-
ton of location-some fifty acres Of
land near town-and some money
besides. Rev. Mr.. Atkinson laid the
matter before a number of our bust
ness people at the Jackson Club
Thursday afternoon and stated that
the trustees would like to have
a location and fifteen thousand
dollars. The matter was left open
to see what could be done. 1t would
be great thing for Monroe to have
this school.
