Trains Going West.
A PROSPEROUS YEAR.

The year 1909 has passed into his
tory, and the record it has left is a
creditable one. The past twelve
months have been marked by progress
prosperity and achievement in all lines
In this country and Europe.
Entering upon the threshold of the
last year of the twentieth century's
first decade, it may not be amiss for
North Dakotans to pause and note the
prosperity which abounds in this great
state. The laborer, merchant, fnan-
cier and last but not least, the farmer
has in some degree benefited by the
prosperous conditions that prevailed
in 1909. OF these the farmer, in all
probability, has had occasion to be
the most joyful
According to bulletin sent out by
The Orange Judd Farmer. telling of
the census of American agriculture to
be published in it's January number,
the North Dakota farm returned more
OF it's value than those of any of the
other great farming states in the Uni
ted States.
This great state with population of
100000 has $4,000 farms valued at $780,
100000. the average value being 5000.
The value of the farm products aggre-
gate $192, 700, the average per farm
being s2,56o. The average product for
each person is 1920 which is a mar
yelous showing considering the fact
that North Dakota is young and
growing state. Last year each North
Dakota farm returned 43 percent of
ats value, Minnesota farms returned 2S
per cent, South Dakota farms 80 per
cent, Illinois farms q per cent, Iowa
farms 25 per cent. Ohio farms SO per
cent and farms in Wisconsin "a per
cent.
With such an excellent showing for a
basis upon which to commence the new
year, Dakotans have every reason to
start the new year in right. The past
year has been one of Joy and gladness
TO some, one Of sorrow and sadness to
others, but with the turning over of
another page in the history Of North
Dakota let everybody boost and boost,
and the result--at the conclusion Of
1s1O-will be greater and more graf
flying that has been the accomplish
ments of 1909.

There are various ways of labelling lug

ally your capacity and disposition in

WARNS ELEVATOR MEN.

Buffalo, N. D., Dec. 29.--To The Fo-
rum: Nineteen years ago, on Feb. 9.
Jas. Flett who was buying wheat at
| Arthur, was murdered by one. Joe
Remington, who had hauled wheat to
him. and knew that F1ett paid cash,
and carried 81 900 to $4,000 all the time.
Remington went down below nd pick
ed UP an affinity, and when nearly
broke, he returned to Fargo and hired
team from Billy Doyle. He drove to
Mapleton and spent his last few cents
for cartridges for his gun. He then
drove to Arthur and tied his team in
the lumber yard, and visited with Flett
until he got chance to shoot him In
the back of his head and kill him. He
robbed the dead man without culver.
Fletfs wife and a neighbor found him
a short time after the murder. Joe
returned to his affinity at La Crosse
and was captured, and returned here
few days later. He was tried here
and eleven Jurors were for hanging. but
our eloquent Colonel Hildreth had the
family of Joe in the courtroom. and
their tears were too much for the
twelfth juror, and they compromised
on life Imprisonment. About this time
Mrs. F1ett gave birth to a child that
only lived few days. Mrs. Flett
sickened and died with quick consump-
ton, and Joe's father died from shame.
This man Remington murdered four
of them. He planned this murder for
weeks. Several years ago his friends
or relatives tried to secure a pardon.
They said he was a model prisoner. /
guess all life prisoners are model pris-
oners. They have lots 60 gain by be-
ing good. Not long ago some lady at
or near Detroit, tried to get a North
Dakota judge to o. k. pardon for Joe.
If she Is 8 relative she is justified in
trying to turn this leper loose. If she
Is NOT relative and knows the cir
cumstances, and the reconciliation
and cold blooded way this murder was
planned and committed, and knowingly
tries to turn this skunk loose to kill
some one else, then her friends should
send her to the asylum she is crazy
The question arises, If Joe is turned
loose and gets another affinity and goes
broke and is liable to loose her, who
viii he kill next time? Just a ques-
ton Of who will it be- Every elevator
man and every brother Mason OF Jim
F'letts should write a personal letter
to the pardon board requesting them
to leave Joe where he is safe. 1T is
not a question of temper or environ
ment. Just pure cussedness, and cold
blooded murder. |. S. Smith.

Cincinnati Enquirer; HIS head
on the contour Of that of a lion.
Charles Myers. a shoemaker, whose
home Is at $40 Lock street, made an
uncanny appearance ae he stood be-
fore the members of the Academy Of
Medicine last night, the subject be a
learned dissertation by DR.. III. II.
Hope and an interesting discussion.
Myers has been a patient for several
weeks at the city hospital, where his
disease, known as leontiasis ossea
never seen in this section before. and
one Of the rarest in the annals az
medicine, has been slowly developing.
Although 20 years old, he looks like
a boy OF IA. and his mental equilibriun,
Is slowly being crushed out of him
The strange disease which has MADE
him mental curio and will either
send him to the madhouse or to his
grave, developed, according to Dr
Hoppe in the base of the brain in the
pineal gland, believed by the ancients
to be the seat of the soul.
BY some degenerating process tha
head Is becoming slowly ossified
bones growing into the cavatlea a.
each side Of the nose giving that
organ the broad appearance seen in
the king Of beasts. Bones fitting the
frontal sinus cause the forehead ia
bulge and the eyes to recede, and #
would only require beard on the
youths face to carry out the leonina
sen1blance to perfection
An ex-rays picture taken yester-
day ct the city hospital showed the
bone already growing into the brain
and the work 5f destruction win soon
be complete. Three years ago Myers
was bright youth, and the physicians
are unable to assign any cause for fha
disease, excepting perhaps some shock
or injury to the brain.

Cooperstown Courier: Former Sup
preme Court Judge Edward Engerud is
to be candidate for United states

Judge used to be an insurgent, saw the

RAPID PROGRESS.

The amazingly rapid stride which has
been taken by the world during less
than a century past Is indicated by
a brief news story which comes over
the wires from Macon, Mo. In that
city there passed away, few days
ago, lady named Mrs. SaIina Farrar,
who was 81 years old. And the amaz-
ing feature of the little story told i'm
connection with her death is that she
had been one of the passengers on
the first train that ever moved over
rails in Great Britain.
She recalled, to the day of her death,
that experience, and often enjoyed tell
ing how she and a happy, IL slightly
nervous party rode behind Engineer
Entwhistle's dinky engine.
There is ample proof in the littleness
Of the minds of nearly everyone that
they find not enough doing" to afford
interest from day to day. They fall
inAo the strange delusion that one
year is like another, and that progress
Is made slowly.
Yet here is a case in which the span
of one life has reached beyond the era
of railroad travel
In view of the tremendous activities
in the railroad world today-the colos-
sal amount of property owned and op-
Grated, and the millions of men who
are dependent directly Or indirectly,
upon the railroads for a livelihood, il
Is scarcely creditable that the locomo-
tive was the invention of yesterday.
AS a matter of fact, the world is
moving forward with such a rush that
one would gasp for breath, If we had
the gift of comprehending all that hap
pens. The complaint should not be
that there is not enough to fill the
mind, but more time must be given to
scan the pages of progress as they are
swiftly turned.
