WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Ernest Orchard: This week the re

Cathedral will be held this evening at 8
o'clock at the cathedral. I shall appre
ciate a full attendance.
A Michigan Visitor: I have been in
your city for several vreeks and have
had an opportunity of examining and
testing the potatoes raised in North
Dakota. I want to say that your state
produces the best potatoes I have ever
seen, both in appearaupe and quality.
They can't be beat.
President PennimatU I know that
there are many ladies and gentlemen
who are desirous of becoming members
of the Fargo Musical Club. The rule
for active membership is well known,
but anyone may become an associate
member, upon the payment of $2 and a
recommendation of a member of the
club, and the candidate may take the.
initiative—associate members' tickets
admit the holder to the artists' recitals
under the auspices o{ the-Cluli- during
the current season.
Colonel Morton: I jtist received an
interesting letter from the major whe
says his trip to Washington was too
much for him—it tired him out too
much. He says his return to Montreal,
with an atmosphere similar to the Red
River Valley braced him up consider
ably. To revert to the crops for the
past season,- my friend Jones has an
other guess coming on the yield for
North Dakota, he is wrong about 15,
000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels, as actual
facts will demonstrate. Flax has been
a disappointment and many hundreds of
acres have not been cut. I have an
instance where we threshed all one day
and did not get fifty bushels. In the
wHeat the average yield will be found
to be greater than usual, but the grade
was destroyed by the wet weather dur
ing the threshing period. On the whole
tne -season has been
a
V
is
prosperous one
for North Dakota grangers, A fittie
later I am going to Chicago, then to
New York and, then, about January, to
Montreal to sec the major and we will
be together for awhile and enjoy our
selves.

ial hater of America and Americans, was
dining lately in Paris with the British
minister. Next to him at the table was
a noted Newport belle, Miss. X.
The conversation had drifted to a. dis
cussion of things American, and, Lord
made some disagreeable remraks
about some Americans he had met and
some Yankee customs he abhorred.
"Why, d'ye know," he continued, with
an unpardonable want of tact, "that at
some of the places I dined in America
I saw people eat with their knives and
spill soup on the table cloth."
Miss was thoroughly provoked by
this time, but she replied, with apparent
unconcern:
"What poor letters of introduction you
must have had, my lord!"
Th^re was no more unpleasant," talk
about Americans that evening.

Philadelphia Ledger: An anecdote
about General Miles concerns an in
nocent professional. It was in an up
town hotel. A number of men' were
gathered around listening to the speak
er, a slender and rather magnetic man.
"Yes," he was saying, "I was in the
midst of it at Santiago!"
"Were the Spaniards good fighters?"
"Rather. But I took five of them un
aided—officers, too—in Cuba, and two
more in Porto Rico." V.,
"May I ask who you aw" inquired
the general.,
"Yes, indeed. I'm Mr. Clinedinst,
the photographer, from Washington,
and I took you, too, in Porto Rico."
For the first time the board of trustees

THE EGQERT WILL CONTEST.
Charles Breert, the Favored Son, Has Been
on the Witness Stand AO Day.
The Eggert will contest is stil| pi$ in
county court and it is doubtful if it
reaches a conclusion this week. Charles
Eggert occupied the stand all morning
and was again called when court was
convened this afternoon. He was sub
jected to a red hot cross examination
by Attorney Hildreth, who shot "vol
ley to the right and volley to the left,'
but the witness proved a good one and
his testimony was not weakened under
the steady fire of questions. There has
so far been nothing of a sensational na
lure developed/ despite the strenuous
efforts of the attorneys for the con
testants to prove that undue influence
was exerted by Charles Eggert and his
wife. Mrs. Eggert will perhaps be the
next witness called.

ELABORATE FRAUDS.
Instances ef French Swindling. 1% to
Date*
Piill Mall Gazette:ft Thos^ who are
in favor of the system of conscription
will tell you that it is a splendid training
for the youth of a country, that it teaches
them discipline and manliness, and that
the exercises which form part of the
army have a lasting effect for good up
on those who serve witli the colors. If
you live in France or Germany you will
find, on the other hand, that few who
can escape military service care to waste
three years in barracks, and that any
sort of subterfuge is considered' justi
fiable to hoodwink the military authori
ties. This is how a good-for-nothing
fellow named Ajalbert, who did not care
for a soldier's life, contrived to get out
of the French army. He stopped the cir
culation of the blood in his left arm by
pressing the muscles, after which he
made his foot swell abnormally by the
injection of a special preparation of wa
ter. The army surgeons were deceived,
and diagnosed the symtoms as those of
an affection of the heart. Ajalbert was
discharged from the army but the trick
had proved so efficacious that he continu
ed to live for some time on his physical
fraud. In the end he was sent to hos
pital by some kind-hearted folk, the arti
fice was discovered, and he was given
into custody.
For some months past hotel keepers in
France have been the victims of a some
what complicated but none the less ef
fective swindle, in which the name of a
doctor in London was used to advantage.
The victim selected for exploiting first
receives a letter from London, purport
ing fo be from the doctor, inquiring af
ter terms for good rooms in the hotel
for a sojourn. The letter is written on
good paper, but without any written or
printed address. It is, however, accom
panied by the doctor's visiting card, the
Harley street address being crossed out
in ink and another substituted in hand
writing. The hotel keeper replies, quot
ing terms, and receives another letter
from the applicant saying he engages the
rooms and will arrive on a given date
from a Swiss resort which he intends
to visit first. As the date for the doc
tor's arrival draws near, the hotelkeeper
?ets a third letter purporting to be from
the physician, dated from Lausanne, or
some other Switzerland town, announ
cing that his motor car has been sent on
from London by rail, arid asking the ho
tellier to be good enough to look after
it at the railway station, and have it
placed in safe custody Until its owner's
arrival.
The next step in the swindle is an ad
vice note from an alleged firm of for
warding agents in London, stating that
the motor car has been dispatched. But
a day or two later the hotel keeper re
ceives another communication from a
customs house official at Boulogne stat
ing that the automobile has arrived there
but is detained pending the payment of
£9 (in some cases £10.) being the cus
tom® due on the machine, and that if the
amCUnt is forwarded the motor car will
be sent on. This last document is very
cleverly got up, and has quite an official
aspect. So the hotel proprietor pays
over the £9 on behalf of his prospective
.guest, and there the matter ends, as far
as he is concerned. He never sees his
visitor, he never sees the automobile,
and he never sees his money back.

FARGO. N
OLD PROVERB IS VERIFIED.
Liquor Upon Which One Tribe Thrives Poison
to Another.
Aft interesting difference of itatistics
on the question of race suicide is reveal
ed in the report of Charles M. Buchanan,
superintendent of the Tulalip Indian
agency in Washington, and that of
Charles Wilkins, superintendent of the
Umatilla Indian agency at Pendleton,
Oregon. The reports have just been re
ceived by Indian Commissioner Jones,
says The Washington Times.
Mr. Buchanan reports that the birth
rate among his Indians is only half the
death rate, and at the rate at which his
population is dying off it will not be long
before he will be an Indian agent with
out a charge.
Mr. Wilkins begins his report with a
statement just the contrary. He says
that because of the longevity and re
markably good health of his Indians he
has a total population of 1,150 forty
nine who are over 70 seventeen—four
men and thirteen women—who are over
80. and one aged dame who boasts nine
seven summers, and is still able to sit
up and take notice. In the course of the
year the agent was pained to note the
passing away of a venerable patriarch,
who came to an untimely end at the age
of TI4 venrs.
The Indians on the Tulalip agency are
rapidly taking their allotments of land,
and few of them are now without their
allotments. They are having trouble,
however, white men claiming the lands
of which the Indians have held posses
sion for many years.
Both reports complain bitterly of the
inability of the agents to keep their In
dians from accumulating glorious "jags"
whenever they have the "price." Mr
Buchanan says that it is no trouble at
all for an Indian to get liquor when he
can nay for it. and that it is almost im
possible to convict the liquor dealers
because of the difficulty in procuring evi
dence.
The white men of the country are op
posed to sending a white man to jail for
selling liquor to his red brother, any
how, and they are especially loath to
convict them when the evidence against
the white man is furnished by the In
dians. Out of twelve trials at the agency
in the past year for selling liquor to In
dians there was only one man convicted
and he pleided guilty and got off with a
light punishment.

notwithsstanding the larger export busi
ness reported yesterdav, 87 loads sold at

Northwest receipts 834 cars against
861 a year ago. Chicago had 90
against 154. Primary receipts 2,207.
119 a year ago. The trade was very
small and unimportant, principally of
local character. However, the undertons
of the market is strong and breaks,
when they come should be taken advan
take to buy May wheat on. Argen
tine shipments of wheat for the week
2,080,000, against 1,808.000 same week
last year. The St. Louis "Modern
Miller" in its weekly crop summary says
raitHs badly needed east of the Missis
sippi River. Indications point to a
break in this perfect weather in the
southeast. Exports of wheat and flour
this week, according to Bradstreet's are
