It began about 1p.m., and continued almost without inter ruption until near morning. A great deal of water fell and the ground is now again well soaked. It will facili tate plowing but of course will delay threshing. A good many crews had been engaged for threshing and ex pected to begin work Monday but wet weather has prevented. It will take several days when the rain ceases to dry out the shocks. WILL EAT IHIS SHOES. Sioux Falls, S. D.

WORKED HIS CO-LABORERS. A newspaper of the state com menting on the arrest of a citizen of North Dakota on a charge of embezzle ment says: "By his sanctity he simulated virtues he did not possess, and took advantage of those heavy in faith, to get their lucre from them. He made a veritable specialty of the church class, and bled them to the last digit. The widow's mite and the baby's candy coppers all looked alike to hiin. "He exemplified the Great Exem plar in that he played no favorites. From one woman he borrowed five hundred dollars on a promissory note and a chain of lying, the most men dacious and cheerful vouchsafed the utterance of man. He lied in fusi lades. From another woman he se cured in the neighborhood of six hun dred dollars without security, paya ble on demand. From a man fout hundred dollars payable on short time, since long drawn out. All the above from his co-laborers in the moral and spiritual vineyard. From the laymen his loans, based on his outward manifestations of an inward grace, running to tne thousands. In one instance he was intrusted with seven una red dollars on a land deal negotiated through his office to pay off an incumbrance on the land so negotiated, and instead or so doing converted the proceeds to his private and personal uses. To our mind he is a most consummate villian a whited sepulchre of canting zeal as bold a performer of piety as ever worked religion for his dupes or else mentally unbalanced and an object more of pity than derision. Richard Ilazelstrom, late of St. Paul, was instantly killed in a North ern Pacific freight wreck west of Dickinson. He was 18 years old and had recently located at Belfield. In his satchel was a Bible wnich had been presented him by the Swedish Baptist Sunday school of St. Paul. The derailing of the cars was caused oy the heavy rains. CAR TIPPED OVER. A box car on westbound freight No. 53 tipped over at the Broadway cross ing in Fargo and as it was being dragged along it knocked the sup porters from under the watchman's tower. Otherstedtes, the watchman escapcd with slight injuries. BADLY BEATEN. The Bismarck ball team was de feated Sunday by Fargo by a score of 14 to 0. It was Bismarck's last game of the season. FOR J. J. GOKEY GOKEY APPOINTED CHIEF GAME EE PER AT NATION AL PARK. FAMOUS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES AS A GUIDE. J. J. Gokey is receiving the con gratulations of his friends on his recent selection by President Roose velt as chief game keeper at the Yellowstone National park. Mr. Gokey has been a resident of Dawson and Jamestown for the past twenty years, and has become famous all over the united States as a guide to the game resorts of the northwest and numbers among his warm personal friends many of the leading men of the nation in both commercial and political life. He has for the past half dozen years been in the employ of the Northern Pacific railroad com pany, and last spring at the time of President Roosevelt's visit to the northwest was requested by Presi dent Mellen through Superintendent Wilson lo go out and shoot some game to be presented to the presiden tial party. Now the sportsman will know that the killing of a wild goose in the spring season while on their northern flight is a task of no easy accomplishment. The fact that they have been decoyed and shot at all winter down along the gulf coast renders that method of taking them next to impossible. But Mr. .Gokey who has made a life study of the habits of this wary bird, was not long in determining on the method to be pursued. After a few hours of diligent search he succeeded in lo cating a pair of unusually large Canada geese, and after an hour or two of unremitting toil and careful prowess succeeded in getting within gun shot. Rising up out of his hid ing place he fired both barrels of his fowling piece and killed both geese. These together with a fine string of canvasback ducks were presented to the president by Mr. Gokey wno was introduced by President Mellen. It follows as a matter of course that when the name of Mr. Gokey was ^suggested to the president as chief game keeper at the National Park, and his qualifications and party fealty vouched for by such party leaders as Congressman Mar shall, Chairman Ilanna and Banker Lyons of Fargo, the former lent a very willing ear, and Mr. Gokey was accordingly selected for the place.

Fargo Forum The United States census shows that North Dakota has the smallest death rate of any state in the union and yet it is said that street fakir medical concerns find no place more prolific in customers. What is it? Is it because the North Dakota has so mucn spare change he doesn't know what to do with it or is he more susceptible to gullers? It must be the first reason. SOAKED THE DAGO. Peter Woodsaw, the Italian who was arrested at Bismarck for violat ing the game law. was soaked for 157 .80 costs and fines in justice court.
