One OF the largest sales OF land
made in this country was made
last week by the Albert Weis
Land Co., Of Wahpeton. The land
was known as the Rakow Farm or
The Red River Valley Farm and it
contains 700 acres, it is on the
Minnesota side in Wilkin county
and considered one of the best
farms in the Red River Valley.
This sale amounted to from forty
to fifty thousand dollars and one
Of the largest sales made in this
part of the country for several
years. A Mr.. Gibson of Streeter,
ILL.,, who was the purchaser, is
we'll pleased with the conditions
of the country and is we'll salts
fled with his bargain. The farm
sales have been very good this
summer, and should our fine
looking crops mature, there will
be considerable land change hand
this fall. The land men of the
Red River Valley are surely show
ing eastern capitalists induce
ments to invest. The most of
the eastern parties that buy, like
the country and a great many of
them are moving in to make their
home here.
G. Bergman of Chester, Mont,
has been engaged as buyer for
the farmers elevator for the
coming year. Mr.. Bergman is
brother of Clerk of Court Berg
man and for ten years bought
wheat at Stiles, and later at
Lidgerwood. He is expected to
arrive in time to assume charge
about the 18th of this month.
That a deliberate attempt was
made to wreck the fast 500 train
No. 108, near Vanderwalker,
few miles west of Burlington, is
the belief of the 500 officials.
Train 408 is due in Minot at
about 1895 p. M. Thursday
evening as it was speeding east
toward Minot, the Aashlight sud
denly revealed q pile of ties heap
ed upon the track. The train
was brought to a quick stop, and
while the distractions were being
removed, a search was made for
the culprits. After q few mo.
ments' stop the train continued
on to Minot. It is stated that
like distractions were discovered
on the track q few nights ago
olso. Wreck and robbery may
have been the motive of the cul-
prits. 500 officials are making a
rigid search for all suspicious
characters lettering along the
line.

RInaLlNa CIRCUS At FARGO
Great Spectacle Of "Joan Of Arc"
Added to Their Show.

Ringling Bros. circus and new
ly added 100000 spectacle of
Joan of Arc" will exhibit in
Fargo, on Saturday July 20. The
spectacle in itself is an attrac-
tion that should bring thousands
Of visitors from the surrounding
country. 1t is beyond question
the greatest production of it's
kind ever seenin America.
The worlds most skillful seem
ic artists, cosumers, property
makers, chorus directors and
stage managers were engaged to
mount the production. A stage
bigger than a hundred ordinary
theatres was built and made por-
table so that it can be conveyed
from town to town and erected
each morning in the main tent.
Thus the circus proprietors have
made it possible for those who
live in contributory towns as we'll
as in the large cities to see this
magnificent wordless play With
cast of 1900 characters, a ballet
of 300 dancing girls, grand
opera chorus of 200 voices, 600
horses and a trainload of special
scenery, costumes, properties and
mechanical devices for producing
such stage effects as thunder,
lightning, storms, fires, and the
sound of battle.
In the old market place of
Rouen, France, there now stands
a monument by which the French
of today have sought to dedeem
their part in the execution Of
Joan of Arc, who on May 80,
1881, was burned todeath on tho
false charge Of heresy after hav-
ing delivered her country from
the English and having restored
the crown to Charles VII. His
tory records but the meager facts
of this strange heroine Of cigll-
teen years, who led the armies of
France victorious through Eng
lish invasion,andy then, deserted
by all, even the indolent monarch
whom she preserved, died by the
cruelest torture known with the
name of the Master upon her lips.
Unusung in poetry the name Of
this simple peasant girl has come
down through the ages to be
revered as that of saint, and
whose wonderful powers and
whose bravery are verify believ-
ed to have been of devine inspira-
ton.
On the triumphant incidents,
the victorious engagements. the
final defeat of the English army,
and the coronation of Charles VII,
all achieved by the frail Maid Of
Orleans, has been founder the in
spring spectacle which gives
Ringing Bros. circus new sig
nificance and makes an attrac-
ton such as theworld in search
ing for amusement has never be-
fore found.
The regular circus program is
more than ever attractive. It's
company of 375 forien artists, it's
double menagerie and it's new
street parade will prove a great
surprise to those who attend from
this city. The event is one that
should not be missed.

was the hamlet Of Tredannick Wollas.
where the cottages of a couple Of hun

ancient, moss-grown church. The
vicar of the parish, Mr.. Roundhay.

The vicar. .ebeing a bachelor, was glad
to come to such an arrangement.

his lodger, who was thin. dark. spec
