Years ago when he resided at
Appleton The oldest bible in
the United States is about 800
years old, and the one possessed
by MIR. Burmeister is undoubtedly
the second oldestin the states. The
value OF the boon is not known,
but no doubt will run into the

Summit Boy Pcrfects Invention.

Hjalmer Hanson has taken out a
patent which may bring him a nice
lump of money II is for a saw
filing device. The independent
says: Being a carpenter Hjalmer
found the old way of filing saws
was both unsatisfactory and ex-
pensive so he set about to remedy
the trouble. After considerable
experimenting he hit upon device
which can be attached to any bench
or vice the saw placed in it. and
filed perfectly. The operator
can set the device for any
number Of teeth, at any depth or
angle. The file is guided true and
every tooth is filed exactly the
same. l'he machine is not expen-
sive to manufacture and should
find q ready sale. Mr.. Hanson
has bad it patented and already
has has had inquiries from manu-.
factupers who wish to see it and if
it is what they think it is, buy it.
Mr.. Hanson has made model
of his machine and Wednesday
night went to Minneapolis to show
it to concern who wish to buy it.
The machine shows much ingen.
uity OH the part of the inventor
and his many friends in Summit
hope that his expectations are re-
aliaed and that he reaps rich re.

GETS VERDICT
FOR S25,OO0
The Armour-McGowan Case
Came to a Close Saturday.

The Armour MCGOWAN case
came to a close Saturday at
Sioux Fails. This case i'm which
a suit for damages was brought
by Clara Il. Armour of Cherokee
La against Mrs. Mabel Il. Nc
Gowan of MiIbanls, S. d., was
one for alleged alienation of the
affections of the plaintiffs hus-
band. George w. Egan of Sioux
Falls appeared for the plaintiff
and Attorneys III. G. Babcoclk of
Sisseton and Frank McNulty
of Aberdeen for the defense. A
judgment for $25,N the same
amount awarded in a former
trial, was found for the plaintiff.
Concerning, the verdict the
Sunday Sioux Falls Press says:
Judge McNulty, attorney for
the defendant, made exceptions
to the entry of judgment and
asked for a stay of SO days for
the purpose of settling q bill of
exceptions. and moving for . new
trial
This was the second trial Of
the case. At the first trial of
the case here last yeara verdict
was returned in favor of the
plaintiff in the SUN Of $25, 600
but a new trial was granted by
Judge Elliott.
The examination Ofwitnesses
was completed yesterday morn;
ing at 9:5N o'clock, court having
convened half hour. earlier in
order to give time for the COM
pletion of the evidence and argu-
ments during the day aud dur
ing the lengthy arguments that
were presented there was an
interested audience. The Judge
completed his charge to the
jury shortly before six o'clock
and the verdict was agreed upon
| four hours later. /"

Bachelors Now on Defensive.

Even i'm the midst of wars
alarms and the busy upbuiiding
of business, the romatic fact
must not be overlooked that this
year is Leap Year. From
now on the bachelor is supposed
to be ON the defensive: at least
the iolsesmiths will have it SO.
The weaker and more angelic
sex may now forget the custo-
mary shyness of their kind and
put the reverse lever on the con-
ventions by popping the question
to the faint t-hearted. They may
pop and they may not, they
may win hubby and may not.
Statistics fail to show the re-
suits achieved in other leap
year But there will never be a
lack of topic for talk during the
year. Perhaps it will sound like
a relief from the weather talk,
but it is bound to be monoton.
Gus before the 366 days have
expired.
Why and when it became a
year for the female of the
Species to propose matrimony
to the male as an inalienable
right, without loss OF maidenly
dignity, is not set down in tra-
dition. Possibly it was inspired
far back by a feeling of gallantry
ordaining that the girls should
be given chance at playing. the
principal role in the lottery of
marriage. Or perhaps, as the
skeptical are wont to think, it is
just a huge joke in itself.
AS to the origin of the name
leap year" it undoubtedly
arose from the fact that any date
in such year after March 1
''leaps over" the day Of the week
on which it would fall in ordi-
nary years.

your midst? Why don't you
take advantage of the 800, 600, 600
600 tons of Ignite coal your land
is underlaid with and promote
your manufacturing possibili-

Surely it would mean lot to
some people To know that the

State i'm the Union, Oh. that for
the past twelve years South Da-
kOta has ranked first i'm the

dowment OF land that represent
invested school funds of S125,-

Why not spread the story of
the Dakotas through pupils
coming from other states? Why
not keep these same pupils when
graduated to help swell that
needed population.
Why don't you advertise?
There! it's out! You knew we
were going to talk advertising,
because that's our business. We
didn't promise we wouldn't but
you should listen-and make ad.

That's the way to tell your
story broadcast = tersely and
economically.
Note-The foregoing is part
of q circular letter recently sent
to many Dakota people by N. w.
Ayres & Son of Philadelphia, one
of the great advertising con-
Germs of the country. The pur-
pose of the circular was to sug-
gest to Dakotans that "The
Brothers Dakota" lacked but one

population could be secured by
properly advertising the won.

great states.

Reaching After Them.

States Attorney Jorgenson of
Roberts County had some seves-
teen or eighteen criminal cases
against violators of the liquor laws
at the recent term OF circuit court
IN that county at which Judge
Bouck presided. There were two
ot them out of the whole bunch
that escaped conviction and punish
ment. After court adjourned the
states attorney caused the arrest of
a number OF Sisseton parties and
last Monday at special hearing,
two of the parties, Ortlev Isaac
Dolson had John b. Tibben, charg-
ed with illegal sale of liquor were
convicted and sentenced bv Judge
Bouck TO 80 davs in the county
Jail and to pay a fine of SlOO and
on default OF payment OF the fine to
serve so days in Jail and an addi-
tional fine of $50. If States At
torney Jorgenson, Sheriff Minder
and Judge Bouck retain their health
there is not going to be so much
blind pigging in Roberts county
in the future. The business is
neither lucrative nor conducive
to peace of mind for those who
engage in it Milbank Herald Ad-

A relic of the days of the Calf.

to local life insurance company
of Watertown by Thorn Rabcock
in the form of Policy No. 1879 in
the United States Life Insurance
company of New York, which
policy covered $4OO insurance OH
the life of his uncle, Zurial w.
Babcock of Herman N. Y. The
annual premium was Sl4 and the
policy was participating. 1t
is dated March l2. 1851 and on
that date was assigned to MIR.
Babcock's brother, George Bab-
cock, father of the donor, because
of the fact that the insured had
borrowed S40O from George Bah
cock to enable him to go to Calf
ornia during the gold rush. This
is one OF the earliest recorded in-
stances of the use of life insurance
policy in the form of collateral. 1t
contained a restriction that per
cent additional premium must be
paid if the insured went to Calf.

DAK0TAS HAVE
BRIGHT FUTURE
More People Needed To
Place Dakotas in LIST Rank.

States. that had its inception in
l716, with am amateur cast of
thirteen, there has been unfold
ed, from time To time, vivid
scenes or startling acts of add
venture, cOnqueSts, civilization,
progress, manufacture, farming,
merchandising, craftsmanship,
science, art, literature that have
won the plaudits of the world.
The company enacting this
wonder-play had been added to
from time to time and now
boasts of a we'll rounded out cast
of 4S stars.
Not all have the good fortune
to play the leading role-a few
are yet to be heard from. We
predict right here that when
The Brothers Dakota" step to
the center of the stage, with all
their wonderful natural talent
and resources, their debut will
mark another epoch in the his
tory of these United States.
When these two versatile act
.ors first associated with this
world famous galaxy of stars,
they were natu rally cast for vii
iainous parts, owing to their
bad injun" proclivities, but
under the careful guidance of
those masters of stagecraft--
Generals Custer and Miles-they
soon developed into tw il n
"Stronghearts.
1t won't be long now before
their names will be in bold face
type on the program. and in elec-
trio lights over the entrance.
There is just one thing lacking
before the day boo" of the Da-
kotas in the stellar role is pos
sible and that is population. Ma
ture has been lavish in her gen
erosity of endowing the Dallotas
with limitless resources that are
fairly shrieking for develop
ment. The possibilities of this
vast area are wonderful. Think
of territory of over 94.OOO,OOO
acres occupied by about 1,4OO,-
600 people. Perhaps you can get
a better conception if we say
that were the DalsotaS appor-
toned among their population,
there would be about seventy
acres to each person. while i'm
the city of New York there are
tifuy people to each acre.
You need North Dakota,
North Dakota needs you" is a
slogan that could and should be
taken seriously by thousands OF
people i'm the. United States, and
it refers to Brother South Da-
kota as well as Brother North
Some of those tifty-to the eacre
in New York City could profit by
a better knowledge of this north.
west country.
But how are they going te
know. Who is going to tell then
how with practically handful
of people, you produce 1896,
600 bushels of wheat, 1O9, ,265,
600 bushels of oats, 92,OOO,O 900
bushels of corn, 47,S25,O 600 bush
els of barley. 12,25s bushels o1
potatoes, 9,455,O0O bushels O
fax, to say nothing of fruits
vegetables, dairy and poultry
products, live stock, WOOL, hldes
minerals and stone?
Where are your booster clubs
your chambers of commerce
your land owners = yes you
state governments themselves
that they are not spreading TIN
wonderful story of the Dakota
to secure the much needed popu
lation that will place the Dako
tas in their proper niche in tn
Hall of Fame of the Unite
States?
How are the people to kno'
