TREASURES LETTER
WRITTEN IN 1850
MRS. FRANK WHITE OF VALLEY
CITY HAS EPIsTLE WRITTEN
10 YEARS BEFORE CIVIL
WAR.

Valley City, Nov. 1O-Mrs. Frank
White has in her possession a letter
dated Nov. "a, 1850. written by her
great uncle. David S. Horney of Rich
mond. Indiana, to his aunt at King
sessing, Pa.
The letter is particularly interest
ing owing to having been written in
the Quaker style, much attention be-
ing paid to the use of the personal
pronouns. thee. thou, and thy, also
to the changing of the verb 'are" to
art.
At the time this letter was written
there was great deal of interest in
Richmond relative to the proposed
railroads into that city. While it was
at that time an inland town, there
were three roads in progress of con-
struction and the residents believed
that before the next year had pass
ed they would have a rail service.
The author Of the letter tells oil
the prevalence of cholera in the
southern part of Indiana and Ohio
saying that but one case had come
so far north as Richmond, and that
had been brought from Cincinnati.
1--WE have been particularly bless
ed" says the letter, ain one of our
great staples, viz: the wheat crop
the dray weather may have been ia -
vorable to that One thing is certain
from the poorest seed ever sown we
have one of the best crops ever har-
vested in this part of the country. II
Is selling at Sc cents per bushel in
small way. The more independent
farmers are holding on for better
prices"
The letter is written in a beautiful
flowing hand and contains not only
the news of family and friends but
the topics of the day are discussed
at some length. Mrs. White considers
the letter great treasure, it being
one of but three letters, written by
her uncle. which have not been de-
stroyed.

J.. NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST =

played In a sheltered building, a fea-
ture that will appeal to both exhibit
ors and spectators. The show ring
their capacity doubled, in line with
the general enlargement of the show.
Lectures on Farm Topics.
The management has prepared list
OF lectures to be delivered by leading
speakers on farm topics from all parts
Of the country. These lectures in con-
junction with the displays of stock
and grain will constitute an educa-
tional feature of far greater value to
any farmer than the money it will cost
to journey to South ST. Paul to hear
and see. Several counties of the
northwestern states will make dis
plays of their products and these will
be both interesting and instructive.
During the week of the show the
annual meeting of the Minnesota Field
Crop Breeders association will be held
at South st. Paul and also that of the
Minnesota Live Stock Breeders assoc
citation. Entertainment features and
music will be provided. so that visitors
may not feel disappointed in any sense
in attending the show.
Thursday evening all exhibitors at
the stock show and at the corn and
grain show will be entertained at the
annual banquet at the Merchants ho-
tel, st, Paul, given by the Northwest
ern Live Stock association. This will
be one of the big events and will come
at the conclusion of the judging of
stock
A CAPABLE and impartial list OF
judges has been secured to award the
money and trophies and every exhibit
or will be given an absolutely fair deal
at South st. Paul. A good attendance
is all that is needed now TO make the
show this year the
greatest success in it's history.

very root of Eczema or any other

there is no wash for the skin made

Devils Lake, NJ D., Nov. 10.-Dan
English, who was formerly a well
known character among the old time
farmers here, returned yesterday from
the Klondike and was the object OF
much interest, not because he had
discovered a gold mine, but because
reports had reached here last spring
that Dan was dead. and his appear

DONNYBROOK HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
HEROIC WORK OF CITIZENS SAVE
CITY FROM BECOMING PRAI-
RE FIRE VICTIM.

Donnybrook, N. D.. Nov. 10. - A
prairie fire that ragged west of this
place caused considerable excitement
and a good deal Of fear for the safety
Of the town as well as some farm
buildings in the path of the fire. The
fire was started by sparks from a
Great Northern train about three and
one-half miles west of Aurelia, near
the Will Maynard place.
The wind was blowing at a terrific
rate, carrying the flames down across
the prairie and coulees directly to-
ward Donnybrook. 1t was soon dis
covered that the Bert Shipton and
Alfred Mott farms were in danger,
and a crew of men rushed out there
to help make the place safe.
Another point of danger was in the
valley right above town. If the fire
had reached up to the village there is
little doubt that it would have swept
right into town and done great dam
age. But here also the men got in
some good work and headed the flames
off just in time.
Half the population of the town
stayed out all afternoon fighting the
fire that was sweeping through the
coulees. In spite Of all they could do
a lot of good pasture was burned off
and the damage to the timber in some
Of the coulees was great.
The people whose houses are located
up along the cOulee street were great
ly alarmed as they expected to see the
fire sweep down on them at any mo-
ment. This impression was caused by
the heavy smoke rolling down that
way although the fire was checked
long before reaching the residences.

TRAcHOMA CAUSES GREAT SUF-

Pine Point. White Earth Reserva-
ton, Nov. 10.-Trachoma, an eye
disease of the most dreaded type, is
causing great suffering among the
Indians at this point The full
bloods are the greatest sufferers. AT
the annual payment of annuities,
scores of Indians, both old and young,
were led at the near end of long
chain to the schoolhouse. where the
annuities were paid. Trachoma is
prevalent among all Indian tribes, but
1t Is more common at Pine Point than
at any other place on the White Earth
reservation. The government. recog-
nizing the seriousness Of the disease
on this reservation, and its alarming
spread has sent two eye specialists to
White Earth reservation. These spe-
cialists are in addition to the thres

regular government physicians on the
reservation. who are also able men.
These experts are treating the pa
tients twice day, and some very re-
markable cures have been made at
Pine Point and at White Earth. AT
Pine Point room in the school has
been set apart for the treatment Of
the eyes, and so bad was this trouble
and SO intense the suffering that for
some time, the majority number Of
pupils were unable to attend govern
ment school, and the teacher had to
help assist the doctor. For some time
the Indian school was turned into d
hospital for the treatment Of the suf-
fering Indians, but great cures have
wrought and the specialists have done
excellent work aided by the three gov
eminent doctors.
There are over 500 fullblood Indi-
ans here. At Pine Point there are
about 100 cases of trachoma, but this
number includes all the Indians living
in the Indian territory.
Another noticeable physical defect
is the terrible white plague so preva-
lent also among the Indians. Tuber-
culosis has had a mighty influence on
the physical forms of the Indians.
Many have died with the disease, so
many that an agent of the monument
firm in certain city, was busy sell
stones for the dead Indians. Signs
Of this sickness were everywhere.
At White Earth the school belong
ing to one of the churches has been
secured and 1t is said to be full of
patients with trachoma. Many of the
Indians with consumption have been
sent west to the warmer climate and
are said to be doing well.
In spite of these diseases the bulk
of the Indians are in splendid physi-
cal form, and papooses are seen in
every gathering.

NEARLY READY FOR
live STOCK SHOW
PREPARATIONS COMPLETED FOR
NORTHWESTERN EXPOSE

st. Paul, Nov. 10.--Preparations are
practically completed for one of the
greatest after harvest farm shows and
festivals ever offered Northwestern
farmers, and for four days, Nov. Is to
Is, South St. Paul will be the mecca
Of crowds Of farmers and their fami-
lies from all parts of Minnesota, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota, Iowa
and Montana. For on these days will
be held the fourth annual Northwest.
ern live stock show and, in conjunc-
ton with it, the first annual North
western corn and grain show.
Plans for this years exposition at
the great home market Of the north
west are far in advance Of anything
ever attempted here before, and the
fact that entries in all departments
this year will be many times greater
in number than at any previous show
makes it certain that the show this
year will be of far greater interest and
value educationally to visitors.
The Northwestern is not intended as
money-making institution and is
supported entirely by voluntary contri-
buttons of stockmen and business men
Of the territory tributary to the mar
ket who believe that it is one of the
best means of spreading the gospel of
good farming possible to devise. The
admission fee to the show therefore is
only nominal one, and the oppor-
tunity to share in the benefit of the
displays and lectures Is open to ALL
Premiums for Amateurs.
That these benefits may be accorded
those most in need of them and as a
means of interesting formers who
have never exhibited at any show out
side their own locality or county, the
management has set aside liberal
proportion of the $4,000 offered in
premiums to be given to amateur ex-
kibitors, and from this competition all
professional breeders and exhibitors
who have entered stock at state fairs
and live stock expositions will be
barred. Farmers are encouraged to
offer their products, as the experience
gained will be beneficial and pave the
way for success later, even though it
is not scored this year. The fact thar
there is always ready market for
live stock of all kinds at South St.
Paul insures an opportunity to sell ali
stock at the conclusion of the show
at good market prices.
The show this year has a new and
substantial home, housing facilities
having been provided for all exhibits.
The show now enjoys the distinction
of being the only one of it's kind in the
country to offer all its attractions un-
der cover. Carload entries of live
stock which have heretofore been
shown in the stock yards will be dis
