LAST THOUGHTS OF MOTHER.
A Dying Boy Sends a Message ^Atyectipirfp
His Aged Mother.
know that I most- soon past/
away. Tell mother that I died
thinking of her.'' v
With one'leg severed completely, ijiis
body bruised and mangled and his soul
at the threshold of eternity, W. ft.
Michcls. the young brakeman who met
death on the N. P. railway at Wheat
land. yesterday morning, turned to those
surrounding him and forgetting his
awful pain, said,in a, husky voice:
"Tel! mother tfiat I died thinking of
her."
Bravely he spoke these few brief
words, with eyes strangely appealing to
his auditors. He turned and buried his
face in his pillow and when kindlv hands
reversed the head he had passed to the
drennless silence of the toijgueless dust.
What more magnificent exemplifica
tion of a son's affection for a mother
could be made? In the darkness of
death his mother stood as his star of
hope and consolation—his angel and
listening love could almost hear the rus
tle of a wing. The brave, strong-heart
ed men. accustomed to scenes of a kin
dred character, turned in silence from
the cold, inanimate form. There were
thoughts evidently of other far away
homes, of other kind-faced mothers,
whose brows are shaded by the lustre of
silvery tresses, and whose thoughts are
ever with the "boy." At the crucial
hour man may commviie silently with
his maker, but when abroad and alone in
the cold, unfeeling world, the mother in
his parting words is the worshipping
aueen upon eternity's throne, to which
the hand'is extended for sympathy and
consolation: or perhance, if she has
passed to the other shore, to whom, in
advertently the weary turn in that glad
promise ot perpetual reunion.
The body of this unfortunate young
man. mangled and cold in death, has
been sent back to the aged mother
Rensselaer. Ind., Where the remains wijll
be laid to rest.
The coroner's jury^ found that death
was the result of an accident without
attaching the responsibility.

western part of North Dakota fhcre
aic half a dozen counties which appear
on some maps as regularly organized,
so far as the names and oolcring of the
maps goes, but which arc really parts
of the United States only in so far as
hey a 1 Siibjeci to the jurisdiction of
nation 1! and state courts, and are com
pelled to share the burden of state tax
ation. heir inhabitants enjoy none of
the privileges of self-government, and
are taxed without being given any rep
resentation. The condition of affairs is
primarily due to the sparce population
1 these districts. The country has
been practically one vast cattle range,
with settlements few and far betweenf
With the influx of settlers there
comes a demand for some of these
section for a change in the manner of
administering their affairs, and some
it the old settlers who have been wait
ing for years for the organization of
local government think that the time
them has come. Just now a peti
tion is being circulated in the imor
•j nized counties of Alfred, Wallace and
.WcKenzie asking the governor to take
steps for the consolidation of these
three counties into one. Thes« coun
ties comprise contiguous territory bor
dering on the west line of the state,
and lying just to the south of the mam
line of the Great Northern railway.
I he condition of the settlers in this
district is one of considerable hard
ship. They have absolutely 110 local
government whatever. They canhot
ievy taxes for local improvements.
Peace officers they have none. They
have, no votes on any proposition. And
they can have 110 public schools. These
conditions have been endured in the
past, but they are becoming untolera
ble. Not only is the situation incon
venient and burdensome to the present
residents, but settlement is discourag
ed as strangers in search of a location
do not care to locate in a section where
tilings which most American people
regard as indispensible are non-cxist
cnt.
This secion of the state is not
by any means a barren or unpopulous
one. Until late years, in common
with most of the western country, it
has been inhabited almost altogether
b\ ranch men, but of late there has
been considerable settlement by small
farmers, and it is certain that were it
not for the lack of organization the
settlement would proceed much more
rapidly. The country' is fertile, nutri
tious grasses grow luxuriantly on the
uplands and the valleys are capable of
producing large crops of cereals. Lit
tle villages are scattered through the
country, each having as its center the
ranch of some large cattle man. The
Missouri River Hows through the
northwestern corner of the proposed
country, while the Little Missouri
passes through the southwest. Tribu
taries of t!?ese streams water the entire
district, in several cases irrigation
works on a small scale have been car
ricd on for some time with excellent
results, and the valley of the Little
Missouri has been the scene of the ex
plorations of several geological' parties
sent out by the United States govern
ment to investigate the possibilities of
the district from an irrigation stand
point. The reports of some of the ex
plorers have been published and while
most of the observations have been of
a preliminary nature, and necessarily
more or less superficial, enough has
been learned to show that with a rea
sonable expenditure of the irrigation
fund of the state many thousands o?
acres could be rendered as productive
as any on the continent.
Many of the present residents have
been there for many years, waiting for
civilization to overtake them. Mr.
Schafer, who lives at a little settlement
named after him, has been there for
about five years. He is a wealthy and
intelligent man, a bona fide resident,
who is satisfied with his location, and
who does not wish to be obliged to
move away in order to enjoy the priv
elegeswhich most white men think be
long to them of right. Mr. Schafer
is an ardent republican, and a man
who likes to keep in touch with current
events. Three years ago. just prior to
the national election, he. with a party
of neighbors, rode across country 12^
miles to Dickinson, hoping that there
might be some way whereby they
would be permitted to vote. They
found that their journey was in vain and
they were denied the privilege of ex-,
pressing their opinions at the polls.
The school situation is particularly
bad. As "has been said, the residents
are denied the privilege of public
schools. There are hundreds of fami
lies in the district, some of them large
ones, and all together there are sev
eral thousand children growing up
without education, save such as their
parents are able to provide for ithem
by means of private schools, supported
by direct contributions from among
themselves. A party of hunters from
eastern part of the state drove up to a
ranch house at Carwright. near the
Missouri, recently, to stop for the night
and they were asibhished at the num
ber of children that came trooping out,
Some of the travelers had seen large
families before, but this seemed to cap
the climax. They found that, while the
settler himself had a family of ten, he
kept a school for others in his
house, one of his daughters being
teacher, and the institution was patro
njzed by neighbors living as far as five
aia miles away. Incidents of this
.M£t are common.
3fhe owners of the property in this
4&rict are obliged to pay their* share
of the state taxes, and they receive
j^ctically no benefit therefrom. Large
tions are owned by non-^esiflcn^,
and while,these..payJhe state fsfe, there
is no way of assessing them for local
improvements or for school purposes.
The immediate result of organization
would be the establishment of district
schools, and the inauguration of a sys
tem, of road-making and bridge build
ing,' which are sadly needed. Mr.
Schafer, .mentioned above, has been
actively at work circulating a petition
asking for the consolidation of the
counties and he is confident of success.
In the southern part of the district,
which is about thirty miles north of
Medora, Theodore Roosevelt had one
of his ranches. The residents are warm
admirers of the president, and it is pro
posed to name the new county "Roose
velt" County. A bill introduced and
passed at the last session of the legis
lature provides for the calling of a
special election by the governor
THANKSGIVING WED-DUNGS.
A Thanksgiving nuptial event was
the marriage. Wednesday morning, at
St. Mary's Cathedral, by Rev. Father
Lemieux, of Gertrude, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. &I. P. Murphy ,of Mapleton.
to Peter J. Boyle of Sheldon, a pros
perous farmer of Ransom County. The
nuptial mass was solemnized a few
minutes after 6 o'clock in the presence
of a small partv of friends and relatives
of the contracting parties. Immediate
ly following the ceremony there was a
wedding breakfast at Pirie's cafe, cov
ers being laid for twenty-one guests.
The appointments of the table were
very pretty and in keeping with time
honored customs. The bride was dress
ed in a rich traveling costitmc of grey
and she ,wore a picture hat which was
strikingly becoming. At 8 o'clock Mr.
and Mrs. Boyle left for an extended
wedding trip which will include promi
nent eastern points and returning-west
they will visit the celebrated Dr. J. B.
Murphy of Chicago, an uncle of- the
bride.
A wedding this afternoon was that of
Miss Tda Steittman to Lou's T. Juno,
at St. Mark's Church, Rev. Mr. Zundell
officiating. After the ceremony ^hcre
was a wedding dinner at the home of
Mr., and Mrs. G. Steittman.
