Senator McCumber has introduced

W Henry Clews & Co.,report Wall
Street still somewhat unsettled, being
engaged in readjusting matters to con
ditions the result of an extended per
iod of over speculation. The difficul
ties of United States steel and the
Pennsylvania railroad are having their
effect on the market. General busi
ness shows an improvement. The
crisis in the steel trade is thought to
have passed and it is expected that this
immense business will also show an
improvement soon. Outside of New
York the business situation is con
sidered very sound. There is a con
servative disposition but this is regard
ed as a safeguard. In the west, par
ticularly, the outlook is very bright.
With this issue The Forum com
mences its thirteenth year. The past
twelve months have been very fruitful.
Having made a number of improve
ments'in the news service and possess
ing more extensive facilities for fur
nishing its patrons with a better paper
The Forum felt that there ought to be
substantial results forthcoming. Events
have justified this belief. During the
year the circulations of both daily and
weekly have increased about 25 per
cent and the healthy growth continues.
There is every reason to be thankful
for the excellent patronage and it will
be the object of the paper to deserve
the support accorded. Progress will
be the watchword in the future as in
the past. It is hoped to make the new
year the most successful in the paper's
history.

President J. A'. "of th'e
Tri-State Grain and Stock Growers'
Association announces that the next
annual convention will be held in this
city about Jan. 19-22. This annual
meeting of the farmers of Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota has
proven a most successful educational
feature of agricultural development in
past years and everyone who Iras at
tended one or more of the sessions
has become convinced of their practi'
cal utility. The convention provides
an excellent opportunity for farmers 6f
many sectioins to mingle and compare
experiences in the production of grain
and livestock and the lectures,^ given
by men and women thoroughly ac
quainted with subjects of vital interest
to the farmer, and who possess the
happy faculty of being entertaining at
Well as instructing, are worth mor*
than all the expense entailed. It ought
to be jgood news to every farmer that
it is the intention of the management
of the association to make the January*
convention even more attractive
valuable than any preceding.
It was wisdom on the part of the
city council to extend the time for thfe
competion 1 :ii« str?et railway. The
company has given evidence that they
have purchased the supplies, made the
contracts and have the money to pay
for the same. The road .will be con
structed because the men behind it
have faith in the future of the city and
believe the property will become val
uable. They have put their own money
in the project. The conditions of Wall
Street today and for nearly a year have
been against the sale of bonds in any
new enterprise. No new street railway
deals are now being made and it is
doubtful if any will be attempted for
the coming two years—unless under
similar conditions to those existing in
Fargo—where the members of the
company put up their own money for
developing purposes. Meanwhile Far
go will not be standing still, but will
be progressing because of the exten
sion of the avenues of easy communica
tion. These lines will place the me
chanic and the laboring man within
easy reach of building lots to be ob
tained at such a reasonable price as
will enable him to own his owji home,
instead of renting. It is the fostering
of home-building and having condi
tions so as to .^ncourage the same that
makes a city substantial and progres
sive.
WAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
A Former Orlggs County Otifchl Was Sud
denly Killed Saturday.
til- ft*
Jamestown Alert: One of the-old
time farmers formerly of CooperstQwn,
lately living near Courtenay in the
edge of Griggs County, was found dead
in the road by neighbors Saturday aft
ernoon. His name is Hans O'Lein
and he had been driving a double team
hitched to a farm wagon and was alone
at the time of the accident. The par
ticulars of the affair could not be
wholly obtained, but he was found
about forty-five feet from the wagon
lying near the road with a broken
neck. It is supposed that in a mix-up
with his team due to some unknown
cause, he was thrown from the wagon
The horses are said to have been frac
tious and the accident is thought to be
due in some manner to the team run
ning away. Mr. O'Lien was an old and
prosperous resident of the county oi
Griggs and had many acquaintances in
Stutsman County. He had seven quar
ter sections of land and other property.
The land is said to be worth $3,000 a
quarter, being fine farm land. He
leaves a widow and family and was well
insured. It is said that he struck on
his head when thrown from the wagon
and it is supposed that his neck was
brolyen and death occurred instantly.
Further information is that the team
struck a post and broke from' the
wagon. Tlie latter was broken some
what and O'Lein was near the wag
on. The accident occurred near the
farm house of Julius Hohenhouse.
Burial will probably be at the grave
yard near the Scandinavian Church
north of Courtenay. Deceased ha*?
been register of deeds of Griggs Coun
ty for two terms.
WAHPETON'S WELL.
Wahpeton Gazette: Work on the
artesian well which is being put down
by the city is progressing nicely. Dril
ling was commenced Tuesday after
noon and the first sand was struck at
sixty-five feet Wednesday, without put
ting down a casing. As soon as sand
was struck a casing was put down and
work is progressing rapidly. Thursday
another bed of sand was reached at a
depth of about 100 feet which furnished
quite a supply of water. At this writ
ing they are working in blue clay. It
will be remembered that these two
beds of sand were passed through:
while putting down the otherartesian
wells io this locality so that it is pre-*
sumed that a sufficient supply of water
will be found at a depth of 265 or 300
feet. If no. accident happens the
chances are that water o( sufficient
quantity to supply the city will be
reached some time next week.

FAEGO FORUM DAILY REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER
and
Those opposed to the repaal of
the desert land law say that it is one
of the main revenue builders for the ir
rigation law. This is not the case in
North Dakota. Here most of the
funds come from the commutation of
the homestead entries. Even in states
like Montana—where the desert
land act has been largely used, what
are the results? Inquire of any well
posted man—who is not prejudiced—
and he will tell you that this law has
been used by large corporations and
by rich private individuals t© obtain
vast quantities of land for ranch and
speculative purposes—that fraud has
tainted nearly all the entries—that the
land is worth many times what the
owners paid *the government for it—
an^l that the effect of the law has been
to retard the true development of the
country. With such testimony how
can the law stand as it today?

STREET STORIES
s
I
A prominent merchant of this city,
who is devoted to his family, tells this
one on himself
"I was just J$*dy^^or ^©rt^'dOwn
town this morning, and, in my usual
way, looked up the children to tell
them good by. v
"My smallest girl, -who' ii About? 2
years old. was playing out in the back
porch, and with her was the little child
of the negro cook, about her age.
"I called to my little girl to come add
kiss me good-bye. As she came for
ward to do so. the little negress also
came up, and when I had kissed the
baby, her little companion was stand
ing there with her mouth delightfully
primped up, waiting for her kiss.
'"Some of the old children who were
around at the same time knew what
had happened, and they declare they
'have one 011 me' that is too good to
keep. They laughed at my predica
ment until their sides were sore, and
they tell the joke with great glee every
time anybody comes out home."
Mary had a splendid leg-—
It was a turkey's—oh,
How hard her ma did scold because
She smeared her sweet face so.
A young married woman had two of
her lady friends out to dinner with her
several evenings ago, while her hus
band was absent from home.. When
they sat down to the table there arose
a rather warm discussion over which
one should say the blessing, not be
cause all of them wanted the honor of
saying it, but because not a single one
of the three had an appropriate bless
ing at the end of their tongues jusfat
the moment.
The little 19-month-old son of the
hostess, however, had been taught to
ask the blessing by putting his hand
just above his eyes and bowing his
head, and, while the girls*were raising
such a racket about which one should
say grace, he was in this attitude. He
could not say a word, but the dignity
with which ne performed this little
duty made all three of the girls "feel
like 30 cents."

You can't always judge a man by the
clothes his wife wears, says a para
graphed She may have a .lucrative job
in some down town office. -, 1
Three young men employed ip the
offices of a big Fargo firm are in the
habit of dealing in various kinds of
stocks on a small scale. Their deal
ings as a whole have been quite suc
cessful and the trio have picked up
quite a bit of small change as a result.
Recently the three were tipped off on
a "good thing" in some oil stocks in a
lew company just being launched. The
uil stocks were selling at a low figure,
less than $1 per share, but the prps
pects looked good for a rapid advance
above par. Each of the trio boujght
the same number of shares.
After holding the stocks a few days
one of the speculators became dissatis
fied with his holdings and wanted to
unload them. He told this to one of
the others. When asked his price he
said he would sell the lot for $5. The
(pne to whom the offer was made ask
ed for an option at that price until the
next morning, which was granted.
Here the qualities of a shrewd finan^
cier were displayed.. The one holding
the option went to the third of the trio
and told him he wished he could get
rid of his holdings in the oil company.
The third party told him he was sat
isfied with what he held and would buy
the second party's holdings if he want
ed to sell. This proposition was ac
cepted and a price was made at $10.
The deal was closed and the money
waS paid over.
Next morning the second party took
up the $5 option with the first party
and bought his holdings. In the trans
actions he had made a clear profit of
$5, and still held the same amount of
stock that he had in the beginning.

SMALLPOX AT WARSAW:
Dr. H. H. Healy, superintendent of
public health, went to Warsaw, Walsh
County, this" morning, to investigate an
epidemic of smallpox. In the little set
tlement, which is six miles east of
Minto, there are said to be a large
number of cases. The county commis
sioners have made an effort to'quaran
tine the afflicted ones, but with little
success, and the state board of health
was appealed to with the result that
Dr. Healy will investigate and if nec
essary will quarantine the entire set
tlement. If it is found as bad as re
ported this action will undoubtedly be
taken.

received an average loss in the most
