D., May 26.One of the most brutal assaults e\er perpetrated In North Dakota oc curred yesterday afternoon and had it proved fatal Minot would have been the scene of a lynching. The assault occurred in a pasture near the outskirts of the city. Don McLean a workman, was beaten to such an extent that for several hours his life hung iu the balance. The crime was committed by a tiamp who ghes his name as James Whelan and his home as St. Paul. Aftei beating McLean ihto insensibility, Whelan stripped him of his clotaes and then committed an unnatural crime. Judge Murray was summoned to the scene where Whelan was placed under arrest and driven hur riedly to the county jail. McLean was taken in a cairiage io the city lockup, where his wounds were dressed.

FARGO, N. D.Grain men and wheat growers in this state feel that the boards of trade of Minneapolis and Duluth are making a m'stake In the effort to change the grade of contract wheat from No. 1 northern to No. 2. The chief reason advanced agairst the change here is that the bhorU will have a better opportunity to knock the prices down and the wheat raisers will suffer. The glowers also note that when the contract grade was changed about fifteen years ago from No. 1 hard to No. 1 northern, the elimination of actual No. 1 hard began and it has since practically disappeared fiom the market. The same fate is predicted for No. 1 licrtherii if the yioposed plan is adopted. The farmers ar? hrm in their belief that if Minneapolis and Duluth change the grades it will be a big boost for the new raaiket to be established at Superior under the Wisconsin in spection. Nick Steinkamp is billed for a preliminary hearing in the morning on the charge of mur dering Charles Dolman. While there are many things that seem to corroborate Stein kamp's story of self-defense, the state has Investigated the matter to such an extent that it is be lieved there is another phase to the case, and first degree murder will be the charge. Stein kainp's father lives in New Orleans, and is said to be a man of some wealth. He has been heard from, and it i believed he will help his son make a fight to? his life.

N D."These are my last words to ou, said the venerable Bishop Hare, in closing a sermon to a vast congregation of Indians at St Elizabeth's mission. The bishop spoke to them of the recent decision of the supreme court legaiding liquor, and reminded them that while there would be no agency guard house and no federal officials to mete out pun ishment to theni. still there were other pun ishments, both mental and physical, which re sulted fiorn overindulgence in liquor The In dians hung upon the words of their loved bishop and dlscussc'l among themselves the duties of the citiyeni-hip soon to come to them.

Been Waning for Three Tears, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listldss all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. I went to bed completely used up by my day's work, and when I got up iu the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kid neys got out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I oould not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in suocession under a phy sician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms con nected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subjeefc." Trouble had invaded this household and settled iu it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. I was utterly discouraged,'' said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve remedy which was said to be Wonder fully suooessf uL Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition, and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams'Pink Pills I have now as good health as lever had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: The wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me. to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic a'ad regulator, they make pure, ritih blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein liveat SB Gove street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by Special Correspondence. FAULKTON S. D. Oacoma, 8. D., May 23.A tremen dous immigration and forward move ment is being felt here. Homesteaders and land buyers are coming by coach loads to examine and invest in the cheap lands on the .west side of the Missouri.' 'The movement is stronger and more satisfactory than was the rush to this section for the lands of the Rosebud about a year ago. There is ho lottery this time, but the land hun gry can go out and make their selec tions and return to Chamberlain to file. It is estimated that 70,000 acres in the Chamberlain district will be filed upon in May. The filings in April were heavy, but the business for May will surpass them. Practically all are new settlers and landlookers are coming by the Milwaukee road and are hustling for claims as near as possible to the extension which this company will build west of Chamberlain. More railroad building will be done in South Dakota this year than for sev eral years past. The South Dakota Central is being pushe# to the north ward. The Milwaukee will cross tho Missouri at Chamberlain and will push into the reservation toward the Black Hills. No one doubts that this means next year a line into the Hills. Actual work is in progress on the Armour line of the Milwaukee, and whispers of ac tivity in Great Northern and North Western circles are-persistent. The Milwaukee Railroa company has made an appropriation of $20,000 for use in advertising South Dakota.
