Murphy: Foster county farm ers are going to quit raising wheat. They claim it does not pay and they are going into something else, flax, stock and other grains than wheat. They see that wheat growing at the low prices that have prevailed will be a losing crop and are piepaiing to raise more stock.

There seemed to be considerable question as to whether Schweirtz was not more frightened than anything else and Suchla was re leased on his furnishing a bond of $200 to keep the peace. One story as to the row is that Suchla wanted Sch weirtz to agree to charge so much for threshing but the latter would not enter into any combine.

Fan cher is now engaged in the general mercantile business in California and friends have received word that he is prospering and has recovered his health. Attorney Conklin has returned from a trip to Leeds. He says the town is growing and that the crops in Benson county this year will make times very prosperous for the towns and the farmers generally. Over $250,000 worth of grain will be marketed at Leeds alone this fall. But little threshing has been done yet in Stutsman county and it will be the latter part of next week before threshing is general in the county. The late grain has ripened slowly and harvest is not yet nearly finished. Flax is still quite green. The cool weather has been very favorable to late wheat and it is said to be filled much better than the early sown. Everything in the shape of an engine or threshing machine is being repair ed for the work. Millie—Two treatments a week will put your complexion in fine shape. Bleach that red nose of yours. Take Rocky Mountain Tea. Tea as directed 35c. -D. Baldwin, Samples of Mercer county corn rais ed north of Mandan were at the depot today. The corn was well filled as to ears and stood as high as any good corn from the corn belt. North Da kota will have a big corn crop this year and the question of growing that cereal for a profit maker in feeding to stock has been settled. Jas. A. Lahart of this city intends to buy all kinds of grains in Eddy County the coining season. Besides an interest in the 45,000 bushel house of t'ne Pake Elevator Co. in New Eockford he has just completed a 50,000 bushel at McIIenry and is plac ing scales for track buyers in twelve or thirteen of the most central points for buying grain in thie bonanza grain belt. There is some delay in the proceed ings to open the road on section 32 fenced by W. L. Ilall owing to the fact that no one seems to want to sign the complaint charging that the road is a nuisance. Since the Northern Pacific put in a crossing west of the round house there is a feeling shared by quite a number that the city would do well to follow the section line north from there and let the old road go. The new road would be better winter and summer it is claimed. Hard Luck. Fritz Glazeman, living in the south western corner ol' Cass county, traded a piece of land near Enderlin in the ear ly part of the season when the crop on the land was not very promising, for a new threshing rig, engine and separa tor. The land is worth as much as the threshing outfit was and the crop has developed to be about $1,500 in value. Last Saturday noon, after Glazeman had run the machine a day and a half, it caught tire from sparks from the engine while the flues were being cleaned and the separator was totally consumed and the engine so badly damaged as to be useless until repaired, and no insurance on the out fit. Buffalo Fire. Lightning struck the large school building in Buffalo Saturday, and the same was burned to the ground, to gether with all its contents. Total loss $8,000, insured $5,700.
