Bismarck, N. D., April 15.After many years the Missouri slope and. the western portion of the state of North Dakota is coming into its inheritance. The mush room growths and the inflations of boom days have given way to a steady, and sub stantial improvement in general condi tions, the present year promising to see more development than any year for the past decade or more. Hardly a train over the Northern Pacific but bears landseek ers into this section of the state, about all of whom make purchases. Where five or six years ago there were thousands of acres of partly improved farming lands to be picked up at $2 and $3 an acre, to-day there is little land to be had at any fair figure, about all of it being bought up, either by actual settlers or by investors who are holding it for better prices. East of the Missouri river the Northern Pacific has closed out all its land hold ings to land corporations, which are stif fening the prices every few months. West of the river, much of the railroad land has been bought by syndicates, which have entered upon a plan for settlement by farmers and stockmen. In the past few months, half a dozen land companies have ben organized to deal in land by thousands and hundreds of thousands of acres. Principal among the features of de velopment in the western part of North Dakota this year will be the work to be done by railroads. It is practically set tled that the Soo will build from Brad dock in Emmons county to Bismarck this season. The officials of the Soo have promised the completion of the Bismarck extension if the citizens of the city would furnish right of way and terminal facili ties in Bismarck. The citizens have taken steps to carry out their share of the agreement and the terminals will be ready for the Soo. Ties and materials have al ready Jee shipped by the Soo to Brad dock, and Chief Engineer Green of the road made an overland trip over the grade a few days ago, to see what work would be necessary. The work will begin this month or next and the road is to be Ironed into the city by the first of Sep tember next. The completion of this road will afford Bismarck and the, surrounding country competitive freight rates, and will afford a north and south connection with the Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls road, which has opened up and settled a rich farming and stock country. It will be an Important competitor of the Northern Pacific in the stock regions in the western part of the state, for a ferry will be operated at Washburn, and cattle may be snipped across the river there, and mar keted via the Washburn and Soo roads. The Soo will also carry the lignite coal from the Burleigh county coal fields' into the country along its line. The Wash burn road, which was built into a com- . paratively new and unsettled country a j few years ago, is now paying properly, and does a large grain business, operat ing in connection with a line of steamers which tap the farming country in Mercer county and on the west side of the river. The Northern Pacific will retaliate by cutting into Soo business, and materials are being shipped for the beginning of work on the extension from McKenzie southward through Emmons county to the Missouri river. This branch will open up a new country, will tap part of the Soo territory, and is expected to touch the Milwaukee system at Lincoln, in Emmons, county. The Milwaukee has already begun to buffeS from Eureka to Linton r and it is predicted that it will be ruuning trains into Bismarck, either over the Northern Pacific tracks or "over a line of its own within a year. The Northern "Pacific may also extend its McLean county branch west to the Missouri river, in an endeavor to cut off traffic from the Washburn and the Soo roads at that end of the line. The demand for North Dakota farm lands has resulted in a prosperous condi tion all through the western part of the state. Real estate agents rejoice in many sales and liberal commissions. Small hotels through the slope country enjoy an unprecedented patronage a t good rates, and the demand for lodging and accom modations exceeds the capacity of many f the hotels to furnish. The transients are, for the most part, land hunters with ready money. Liverymen share in the profits in the demand for teams to show purchasers over outlying lands. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and all branches of trade share in the era of good times. The state at large will also feel the result of the immigration. Thousands of parcels of property, for merly untaxed or taxed at a low figure, will appear on the-tax rolls of the state and contribute its share to the support of the state government. Special to The Journal. West Superior, Wis., April 15.Chris- tine Ordell to-day caused the arrest of Dr. W. C. Arons, known as the "Bone-Setter," who has been practicing in this city at what Is called the "Home for Cripples," for about a year. Miss Ordell complains to the district attorney that six months ago she came here from a small town in Minnesota and paid the doctor $85 on the strength of his statements that he would cure her of hip trouble. The doctor has been practicing on a large scale, promising to " cure cripples without the use of instruments of any kind, but simply by the use of his hands. Miss Ordell worked for her board at the home for some time, and,avers she has had no relief. When the warrant was sworn out the "Bone-Setter" was out of town, but he was., arrested immediately iTpon his return at noon. H e pleaded not guilty to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and has retained an attorney. He is out on cash bail. The "Bone-Setter" has advertised ex tensively all over the northwest and has had hundreds of patients. He has a home in Fond du Lac.

In consequence of the disorders the pupils of several com munal school? haye ibeen dismissed and the premises utilized as barracks for the troops. All the factories and mines at Morlanwelz, Valare and Mabille have been closed. Socialist disturbances occurred last night at Namur. A mob stoned the police, who charged with drawn swords. Gendarmes scattered the rioters. The strike is steadily extending in both this city and its suburbs, especially i t Molenbeck. where large factories have stopped work. The military and police have adopted more stringent measures to preserve order. The Burgomaster has refused the socialists' request to be allowed to fol low their own devices in burying the socialists killed in Saturday's riots. Orders have been issued for the proces sion to be held at 6 in the morning with out bands or funeral emblems. Otherwise the interment must be carried out a t night. The strikers in the Charleroi district number 50,000. There are frequent par ades there but the town is generally peaceful, in accordance with the advice of the strike leaders. PRICES SHOOT UPWARD B n i l d e r s ' H a r d w a r e S u d d e n l y A d - v a n c c t SJO P e r Cent. Builders' hardware of every description has advanced in price about 20 per cent at the factories. Jobbers have made a corresponding advance. For several years the manufacturers ef this class of hardware have said that they were not making money. The advance is undoubt edly due to the fact that by the formation of the American Hardware company enough competition has been eliminated to enable the manufacturers to get to gether and make an advance. The new company is a financial consolidation of the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company and P. & F. Corbin of New Britain* Conn, Several of the more important manufac turers in other parts of the country are so affiliated with the consolidated firm that they have entered into an agreement affecting prices. Another reason for the advance Is the great demand. Orders placed last De cember by some firms are not yet filled. SMALL B O Y T E T A D R I F T S t r a n g e S t o r y of L i t t l e E d w a r d Mc G r a t h of S t i l l w a t e r . Master Edward McGrath, aged 8 years, had a long ride and a long walk before breakfast this morning. He was found about 10:30 in the Great Western rail road yards, near Second street and Eleventh avenue S, by Roundhouse Fore man W. O. Brook. He told Brook that he was looking for his mama, who worked in a hotel in Minneapolis, the name of which he did not know. He said that early this morning his grandmother had put him on a car at Stillwater, giving him 50 cents, and had told him 'to go to his mama and never return. The urchin knew the hotel was near the railroad tracks and got off at the Great Western depot. Brook took him to police head quarters and officers, after giving the boy a breakfast, started out to find the mother. Edward says his grandmother lives on Laurel avenue, Stillwater. Like unto Diana is Mrs. S. S. Johnston of Minneapolis, according to a recent is sue of the New York Press. The Press, in common with other New York and Chica go papers, is unmercifully hammering live pigeon shooters. A Chicago paper recently "handed it " t o H. C. Hirschy of Minne apolis, who won the grand American handicap shoot. Now cornea the Press with a sarcastic editorial roast for Mrs. Johnston, who also distinguished herself at Kansas City ..hy . leading . t h e other women shooters who participated in the meet. Under the caption of - "This Modem Diana" the Press says: A Mrs: S. S. Johnston of Minneapolis was murdering pigeons at Kansas City, in com pany of a regiment-of gunners of high and noble purposes. She is styled the modern Diana. That is regarded as a compliment. Let's see about it: Diana sent plagues and death among men aftd animals. She. was un moved by love. She murdered the- children of Niobe. She was a spiteful old-maifff She was tall, nftnbie and had very 'narrow hips.. Her forehead was high, her eyes shifting. Her hair was tied up, with a few stray locks floating down her neck. Her breast was. cov ered, but her legs, as high as her knees, were naked, the rest being concealed by the chlatayg. Mrs. Johnston's rainy-daisy reaches to her boot tops. Diana hunted the wild stag with bow and arrow Mrs. Johnston mur ders harmless, helpless pigeons with a breech loader. Mrs. J o h n s t o n A m u s e d . - Mrs. Johnston expressed amusement rather than annoyance over the editorial when seen this morning at her residence, 1328 Eighth street S. .'. "I must plead guilty," said she, "to hav ing shot pigeons at Kansas City, and I suppose I must take my medicine like the rest of them, if the papers see fit to say unkind things about us. The fact is that I have never laid claim to being a modern goddess of the chase, and that is the first time I have ever been called Diana. My long suit, as a matter of fact, is shooting at inanimate targets. I greatly prefer clay pigeon shooting to live birds. In all my life I don't suppose I have shot more than 200 live pigeons. "While on general principles I am not an enthusiast about pigeon shooting, I be lieve a lot of sickly sentiment is being wasted over this question. Those pigeons are not shot just for sport's sake. Every pigeon killed is eaten. It is a fact not generally known that almost the entire 'kill' at Kansas City was devoted to the humanitarian purpose of affording in mates of New York hospitals delicacies in the way of game to which they are unused. But for a shoot like that, occasionally, such unfortunates would never have a taste of game. If that is the case, I be lieve the end justifies the means, and New York 'people or papers should have no kick coming." Local sportsmen, including all who |vefit to Kansas- City, concede that the doom of pigeon shooting ha s been sounded in the present adverse criticism of the press throughout the country, and the attitude of state legislatures. New York has set the example, and they say other states will generally follow suit. It is for that reason that no strong attempt will be made to secure the next interstate shoot for Minneapolis. Special to The Journal. Red Lodge, Mont., April 15.Four hundred coal miners gre~out on a strike. Tly were employed b y the Rocky Fork Coal company. It is thought the strike will be* a long-drawn-out and stubbornly contested fight. v The strike resulted from the refusal of the mining company to hoist th e miners to the surface from the workings after the day's work was done. Th e refusal was in compliance with, an order^made by State Coal Mine Inspector Howard F . Walsh. A short time ago the miners had Mr. Walsh come to the mine t o adjust some trivial grievance which they had against the management. The visit was unfor tunate for them. Walsh observed that the company hoisted the men up the slope of the mine to' the surface a t the end of the shifts. This seemed dangerous to him, and a few days ago he sent a letter, to the com pany requesting It to atop hoisting the men on the slope. The company ac quiesced and the men were put to the necessity of climbing to the surface, a half mile away, on A slope of 20 degrees. They refused to climb, saying that the company could provide some other safe means of hoisting them, and the strike followed. The mine is, closed down, and the company manager, Mr. Shea, says that the company will n o t be in a hurry to open it. The miners' are Finlanders, and their average daily wage was $3.50.

MeGiil's H o m e E n t e r e d Also L a k e C o t t a R e s . While the family of Edward E.'McGIH slept last night, burglars entered the home, 821 East Twenty-secdndcstreet, and stole silver and jewelry worth over $400 and about $40 in money. The thieves opened the front door with a skeleton key. They secured Mr. McGill's trousers, near the foto of his bed., but before they could take the money from the. pockets, were evidently frightened. The leaped through the window, and after removing the $40 from the trousers* pockets, left the garment in the yard. No one in the house was awakened, and the loss- was not discovered until morning. Mr. MjcGill carried burglary insurance. E. F. Elliott's cottage at Wayfcata re ceived a call from burglars last night. Nothing of value was taken. There was also evidence this morning that burglars were at the lake cottages of John Cros by. Charles C. Bovey and S. T.

REEDON CANNOT B E FOUND F a r g o A g e n t Said t o B e S h o r t I n H i s A c c o u n t s . Special to The Journal. ~ Fargo, N. D., April 15.Fred Reedoii is missing. He was .agent for a Minne apolis paper and had charge of the circu lation. It has developed on investiga tion he was short in his.accounts and it is supposed that is the reason for his dis appearance. Reedon^ came here about two years ago from Long Island and for awhile attended Fargo College, abandon ing his studies to take charge of th6 pa per here. There is no clue to his loca tion. - It is announced that P. G. Crenshltw has again been promoted o*r tide Standard Oil company. He was- the\(,manager here for several years. , Last-spring,he was pro noted t o the Kansas City office and has now been transferred to the Chicago of fices, where he will- be assistant general manager. . - -r The Soo road had net surplus July 1, 1901, of $988,000. It has earned since that date about $1,260,000 net, thus bringing up its present surplus to $2,250,000. Every week the earnings show an increase over the corre sponding week a year ago. . Passenger earn ings are one-third more for eight months than for the corresponding period last year. This Increase in passenger business is the best evidience of the raipid settlement and development of the country tributary to the Soo road. Last year,100 miles of new road were built and paid for by the issue of bonds. No new stock was issued, and it is the policy of the directors not to issue any new stock on ac count of extensions this year. The Soo company new jewns and operates 1,397 miles of road, against which there are outstanding $35,000,000 bonds and $21,000,000 stock, equal to $40,000 iper mile for both. This is low compared with many roads. The Northern Pacific stock and bonated debt is $63,000 per mile, while Chicago Great Western is $66,600 per mile. The operating expenses of the Soo road per mile are 5 per cent less than Northern Pacific and 25 iper cent less than the Chicago Great Western. Wheat seeding has been somewhat delayed on account of the ground being too wet, but is now in full blast all along the Soo road. It will require two weeks to complete the wheat seeding. Later will follow flax seed ing, which is now the largest and most impor tant crop in that new and fertile country. An enormous increase in acreage will be planted this year, and with the great amount of moisture now in the soil, resultins from the heav snows of last month, a large crop is almost assured. If realized, the Soo road's earnings will show a raji increase and its stock will continue its advance- on merits. Present earnings are equal to 7 p"er cent per annum on both preferred and common stock, after allowing for $250,000 the directors au thorized to be expended for betterments. Rapid advances in stocks in the northwest are not unusual. . In 1S96 Minneapolis & St. Louis common sold at 12, and it recently sold at 112. Great Northern during the same pe riod advanced from 106^4 to 186. Twin City Rapid Transit stock in 1896 sold at 16% it is now 120. A conservative-- commercial authority in Minneapolis gives it as his belief that on the present showing Soo cornnioti is worth 80 and that with good crop conditions it will go to par. .

The season ip also backward in the southern states. The week ending April 14 was cold In the central valleys and over the interior portions of the Atlantic coast and east gulf districts, although milder temperatures prevailed dur ing the latter pdrt of the week'in the last named districts. Rain is much needed in the Ohio, central Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys, over the western portion of the lake region, In southern Florida and the Rio Grande valley, includSng New Mexico and Arizona. * Warmer and dry weather is badly needed on the north Pacific coast. Corn planting is nearing completion hi the west gulf states and has made fa vrorable prog ress in the south Atlantic and eaist gulf dis tricts and Tennessee. This work is general in Kansas and Missouri/ and preparations in Iowa are unusually well advanced.

' - : ' ' ' ' : - : - While the growth of winter wheat has been slow, a very general improvement is reported from the principal winter wheat states, al though the crop has deteriorated slightly in central and northern Illinois and is suffering for rain in northern Missouri. Though some what improved in Kentucky, "Virginia, the tendency continues much below the average. On the Pacific coast winter wheat has made rapid growth in California and a heavy crop IS promised north of Tehachapi, but in Oregon and Washington the condition of the crop is much less promising, especially in the last named state, where a large area had to be re sown. - . r . .-- . o- - * ' ''"'' - O : A large region is sown in the spring : : wheat region and little has to be sown : : in North Dakota.

Gatea and John F . Harris of Harris, Gates & Co., were at J. P. Morgan & CO.'s office. Another visitor was Ed win Hawley, wh said that he was not associated with Mr. Gates in th e Louis ville & Nashville, but had a large block of th e stock on his account. Later, Mr. Harris paid another visit to Morgan & Co.'s office and had another talk with Mr. Perkins. He was asked whether he had anything to add to the ~ formal statement put out by his firm just before noon. Mr. Harris tepk out a pencil and changed the original* statement so that it read: "We have bought - control," instead of "we have bought a large block of stock." R e c o r d - B r e a k i n g D e a l s . The dealings in Southern Railway common in the first hour amounted to 350,000 shares and for the two hours up to noon upwards of half a million. This breaks all records for dealings in single stock for one hour and for two. hours on the New York stock exchange. During the exciting trading in Southern Railway one block of 10*000 shares changed hands at 40%. The decision to make Morgan & . Co. "arbiters in the situation" was not reached until shortly after 11 o'clock. It followed the conference at which Messrs. Belmont, Gates, Spencer, Harris, Perkins and Francis Linde Stetson were present. Mr. Stetson is J. P. Morgan's attorney and he is supposed to have formulated the agreement between the contending inter ests in Louisville & Nashville. None of the gentlemen present a t the conference would iecuss the events of the morning beyond a remark by Mr. Gates that "it's all over." All sorts of theories and opinions were advanced to account for the tremendous activity of Southern Railway shares. On the stock exchange it was generally be lieved that the first big orders came from Morgan & Co. Later, however, it was asserted that many heavy orders came from Gates' brokers. In fact, Har ris, Gates and Co, made no secret of their operations in this quarter and reports credited them with the purchase of 175,- 000 shares up to 12:30 o'clock.

The performance for that evening was sold to the society at a price that will leave a fair surplus, which will go into the treas ury of the employes. "The. Explorers" is one of the best attractions that has been presented a t the Metropolitan this sea son. This is a return engagement, which speaks well for the company. The former engagement was in Lent, which prevented a great many from attending who will do so now. The tickets can be secured from any employe of the Powers Mercantile company, or at the box office at the the ater at regular prices. The sale sj far has been most satisfactory, although plen ty of good seats are still to be had. if you are going to see this show you cannot aid a, more? deserving cause, and at the same time get just as much for your money, than by securing seats for Friday night, thereby assisting the Aid society, which has tor its object tlie financial assistance of any employe who, through sickness or accident, is'compelled to lose time at his or her position.
