Ransom Qounty, florth An Introduction. — We will introduce to you in a few words the famous Red River Valley, the great bread basket of the world, the land that will make your fortune. We have selected this field for our work, because we can give you more for your money, than in any other part of the United States. The world talks about the enormous grain fields of this region, in the heart of the American continent where we supply humanity with bread. The fertility of our soil cannot be surpassed. Our climate is beautiful and makes people strong and healthy. Our railroad facilities and markets are good. Our beef cattle fattened on native grass sell at top prices. Our winters have very little snow and permit stock to graze out of doors at any time. Our people are progressive, energetic and intelligent. Our school system is recognized as one of the best in the West. We have many churches of all denominations. We have rural free delivery and country telephones. Our country roads are excellent. Our land can be bought at the present time at from S2O to $35 per acre, but the people are moving west in large numbers, and are settling this country fast. It will be but a few years and the bargains will be gone, land will soon sell from $75 to S3OO per acre, This has been the casein all the older states and it will be so here. Remember the wise words of the great Horace Greeley, when he said, “Go west, 1 young man, go west and grow up with the country.” Since the landing of the Pilgrims, the people have been pushing west. Your forefathers cleared the forest and built homes, which have become valuable. Why do you hesitate to profit by their experience? Take advantage of the opportunity, shake the dust from your feet, and seize your last chance to get a home cheap. Nature has made this beautiful country for you to live in, and we ask you to come and look it over, get a home and be happy. We will now appeal to your good judgment and ask you to sell your email farm; or if you have a few thousand in cash to come out to where you can get from 1 to 5 acres for the cost of one in the East. It will be a pleasant trip for you to take, we will treat you right and give you a square deal. We will be pleased to have you look us up. The Improved Farm Land Company, LISBON, NORTH DAKOTA.

JOHN PAUL JONES. What doea it matter, John Paul Jones, Which country bolds your musty bonss? A spirit bluff and bold as thine Reeks little of the soil or clime; Ton loved the fight, the storm, the sea. And wild untrammeled liberty— Why, blood and fire, strife and groans. Were breath of life to you, Paul Jones. Your hand to help us, weak, oppressed. Was offered in an hour distressed. And Flamborough Head, on English coast. Must blush to-day at British boast: There, where the North See makes its moans. Great England bowed to you, Paul Jones— Her pride as mistress of the seas Fell fainting on the briny breese. What matter if some folks throw stones! It’s late to hurt you, John Paul Jones. Too late to haul from out the sky Our first war flag your ship let fly. Too late, when ringing down the yean, We hear the eeho of those cheers With which your men proclaimed as right Your words, "I’ve just begun to fight.” Could but your spirit, John Paul Jones, Come back to us, Instead of bones, Or oould you shake the trance of death And pray once more your lusty breath— Just long enough to bear some say You proved a turncoat in your day, Then once again you’d rise in might And show you’d “just begun to fight.” —Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: Political observers in tbe national capitol believe they see signs on tbe horizon of the candidacy of William H. Taft for the presidency, to be launched with the personal endorsement of the President. There are many straws which the political prognosticators interpret to support their theory and it is undoubtedly true that Mr. Taft is one of the largest men in the Republican party of to-day. It is a grave question, however, as to whether the standpatters would ever be willing that tbe nomination should go to tbe man who was responsible for the Panama purchase order, which was done so much to enlighten the public as to the iniquities of tbe Dingley tariff schedules. t t t If Mr. Taft were nominated it would be without the delegations of a good many Republican states. For instance, the State of Connecticut would never sanction the nomination of a man who is bo “insanely enamored of the Philippines, ” as they put it, that he wants to establish free trade between the Islands and the United Ststee. They are afraid of the competition of Philippine tobacco and when, last fall, Secretary Taft took the stump in that State and advocated the abolition of all tariff duties between the Philippines and this country they became very angry. Colorado would not permit its delegation to vote for Taft for the same reason. He wants to take the tariff off of Philippine sugar, and the best sugar growers of that State are up in arms at the proposition. In fact, it has been chiefly the opposition of the Colorado Senators which has prevented this change, which has been strongly advocated by the President, from being made before now. It is, in fact, a question whether any of the radical protectionist Republicans would be willing to have Mr. Taft made tbe party nominee and unless be could attain such a popularity as Theodore Roosevelt’s which compelled tbe Republican convention to nominate him nolens volens, be would be unlikely to poll a majority of the delegates. ttt

Charles J. Bonaparte took the oath of office Saturday and those who know the eccentric scion of a great family will watch with exceeding great interest his conduct of the important Department of which he has assumed the headship. There is no question but that he possesses considerable ability as a lawyer but those who know him best declare that he is utterly lacking in tact and predict that be will quarrel with his bureau chiefs almost before tbe suu goes down on hie first days’ administration. He called at the Department yesterday and was introduced by tbe retiring Secretary to the various heads of bureaus. When he met Admiral Mason, Chief of Ordinance, he asked tbe Admiral if he was the man who bad turned a deaf ear to the plans of so pany meritorious investors who had patent weapons, and methods of destruction guaranteed to wipe any enemy out of existence. Admiral Mason admitted that be was the man, beyond a doubt ttt That this is a day of specialists cannot escape the reflections of anyone who considers the mauy positions which are being offered to young men with special educations, For instance there are numerous opportunities offering every day to men who are graduates of college of forestry. Both the States and large private lumber concerns are offering fine

salaries to men of this class. The Navy and tbe Army are both looking for young surgeons. Tbe Panama Canal Commission is looking daily for large numbers of men who have ability and energy in almost any line and if they have a special education such for instance as drawing, engineering, stenographing, etc., they can command almost their own figure. Tbe young man who starts out in life without some special training is however, seriously As the use of specialists increases, the supply of “just plain clerks” grows gretear in proportion to the demand and the result is that this class of them are receiving poorer pay than ever, while the necessities of life are constantly increasing in price, despite the glowing arguments to the contrary which Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright was able to compile “for campaign purposes only.” ttt The resignation of Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama Canal Commission has not worked to the serious injury of tbe government, as his place has been promply filled. Nethertheless, it was an unjust proceeding. So far, he has spent practically his entire time acquiring a knowledge of the problems with which he was preparing to deal and his services in any other respect have not been worth any material proportion of his salary. Having acquired this knowledge and now being ready to perfect his engineering organization, be might in tbe next year have proved of invaluable service to the government, whereas, as it is, a new man must be broken in and must spend many months in acquiring the same knowledge which Mr. Wallace has, presumably, acquired during the year just ended. ttt People who know the new Chief Engineer, John F. Stevens, predict great thing for him. That he is an able engineer and an exceptionally able administrator seems to be a fact beyond all question and as he is not to be made a member of the comission, at least until time has served to demonstrate whether or not he will prove congenial to Chairman Shontsand Governor Magoon, there does not seem to be much prospect of friction in the commission in the near future. It is generally admitted that Secretary Taft was entirely warranted in tbe scathing diatribe which he delivered to Mr. Wallace, the retiring engineer and which he later made public.

THE STONE ROAD SYSTEM

Can only be secured by successive steps, each to be taken after notice: 1. The petition will be published and must be endorsed by tbe board of commissioners at the August term, 1905. 2 The road work must be planned and estimated by viewers, which will carry tbe matter over until tbe September term, 1905. 3. Tbe viewers must bear and report on damages at the October term, 1905. 4. The election day can be fixed some day in October, 1905, if there is no delay from litigation. 5. If the election carries, tbe work can be let early in November, 1905. It will take four months to prepare and let the work and require three notices to be given. The system was made feasible by the establishment of “tbe Iroquois ditch.” It cannot be ready for construction and use of the stone before November 1, 1905. **

OBITUARY.

Claude J. Stewart, son of Joseph and Rachel Stewart, was born April 22, 1884, near Jefferson, Ohio. In 1889 he moved with the family to Hanging Grove township, Jasper county, Ind. In his infancy be was consecrated to God by his Christian parents in baptism, and at tbe age of eleven years be joined the M E. church, near his home at Osborne, and was received into full connection with that branch of the church. An attack of the measles left him with a cough from which he never fully recovered, though he spent two winters in Oklahoma with a view to improving his health He was at no time confined to his bed with protracted sickness, yet for several months before his departure he seemed to realize that he had not long to live. This was indicated by bis life of prayer and his selection of the beautiful hymn, “The Home of the Soul,” to be sung at bis funeral. While at the breakfast table June 27,1905, he was seized with an alarming hemorrhage and died in less than twenty minutes, at the age of 21 years, 2 months and 6 days. It is only simple truth when we say that brother Claude was a good and upright young man, a thoughtful son, a kind friend to all, and a quiet, humble Christian. All whoever knew him testify to bis kindly disposition, his excellent character and standard of honor. The esteem in which be was held was indicated by the very large concourse of sympathizing friends in attendance at the funeral, and the numerous beautiful floral offerings. The Sabbath school class of which he was a member, attended in a body with their offerings of flowers. The funeral services were held in the home, conducted by Rev. W. H. Ferticb, his pastor. The interment was in the Osborne cemetery. We are comforted in the sweet assurance that it is well with bis soul. His parents, the only sister and the three brothers survive him.
