THE NORTH DAKOTA COLONY. A Letter to the Independent Giving Particulars of their Trip and Arrival. Ed.lndependent: If you will give space in your columns I will write a few lines for tbe । satisfaction of those desiring to hear 1 something of our last movement from < Indiana. ( Starting from Walkerton April 2, and after passing through the famous ] cities of Chicago, St. Paul and Min* j neapolis and over the wide plains very < pleasantly, we arrived safely at our destination April 6. Tbe number of people iu the oolony was 420. There were thirty-four freight curs and eight I passenger coaches. Railroad aceom- 1 modations were curried out to the best । of satisfaction. Our route was over the • B. & O. from Walkerton to Chicago, 1 thence over the Wisconsin Central to 1 St. Paul and tbe Great Northern to Cando, N. D. These several lines will be kindly remembered by our people ' for the many kindnesses shown us on our journey. F. Q. Whitney, general passenger agent of the Great Northern, in company with Mr. Bass, accompanied us from St. Paul and assisted in every way possible to make things pleasant. Ou arriving here we found the spring season earlier than we expected. Farmers were seeding and plowing some. Stock have been finding their living since March. The first grasses are growing nicely, and everybody is looking forward to good crops. I never saw land iu better condition for crops. As far as I know about all of the colony is located. We had a few very windy days. The ground was dry on the surface which made a dusty, disagreeable time. This was followed, however, by rains. I never saw the weather finer for this time of year. I might say more but do not wish to burden you. The Independent is a welcome visitor in our family. My best regards to nil. A. B. Peters. LOC AL KIIIEFS. Vincent’s have just received a full line of shades in the leading colors. Plow points ground every day at Filner's carriage and wagon shops in La Porte. If your buggy needs repairing or painting send for estimates to Win. C. Pitner & Son at LaPorte.

Gillette will give the first in a series of Sunday evening lectures on the last 18 hours of Christ’s earthly life. Subject of the first lecture “The Betrayal.” An improvement association having the hearty co-operation of the citizens would prove a wonderful lever towards advancing the interests of Walkerton. Most live towns have such associations. Farmers should not let it slip their minds that the Walkerton Milling Co. are alwas in the market for all kinds of grain at the highest market prices. Take your grain to the Walkerton Milling Co. Henry McCool will complete his three years’ course studies-ill KieCWflffc^intverslty, Chtcago, in about two weeks.

Gillette will begin a course of Sunday evening lectures on “The Last Experience of Christ.” The subject that evening will be “The Betrayal.” The supreme court has decided that a township trustee is required to turn over to its school corporation in his township its proportion in the surplus fund derived from the taxation of dogs. The decision affects all townships iu the state in which large cities are situated. Under the state law all the surplus dog tax goes to the support of the public schools. The trustees have maintained that the fund raised from the taxation of dogs in cities could be expended only on schools of the township outside of the city.
