FROM NORTH DAKOTA Cando, N. D., April 14, 1896. Ed. Independent: If you will allow me a little space in your worthy paper I will say something about our last movement from Indiana to North Dakota for the satisfaction of the many interested friends. We left Chicago on the 25th of March. On the 26th landed at St. Paul where a few more were added to our company, which made in all about one thousand people, 19 passenger coaches and about 70freight cars. On the 27th about 6:30 p. m. landed at Cando. Found it raining as in ’94. Some stopped at Mayville, Lakato, Creary, Devil's Lake, Grand Harbor Run, Church's Ferry, York, Mazey, Cando > and Brisbey. About 400 stopped at Cando. All were well cared for at the different points and the most of the people are located except a few young men who will also get work when the weather settles. The people generally are well satisfied considering the unfavorable weather. We have had rain and a little wet snow and more mud than usual. Seeding is just beginning. 4 We hope for favorable weather from this on. Many are filing on government lands. Our township is well settled and with a good class of people, many of them being our old neighbors from In diana. Buildings are going up on every side. A new school house 24x30 is being

built at the corner of our place on B. C. Holland's claim. When the sealed bids were handed in Mr. Waiterhouse from Tyner City was found to bo the lucky man, who we are sure will fill his part of the contract. There is still good government land to be had and cheap land to sell. We are hopeful of another good crop because of much moisture in the ground. The different railroad companies treated us very kindly. Mr. Bass will still look after those interested in our country. There is still room for ■ * the industrious man and woman. The Independent is a welcome visitor at K our home. Best wishes to all. f A. B. Peters. Obituary. Lucia Schwartz Ross, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Schwartz, was born in Albion, Indiana, November 17, 1867: died in Walkerton April 16, 1896. aged 28 years, 4 months and 29 days. She graduated from the Walkerton public schools May 7, 1886. February 15, 1888, she was united in marriage to Mr. F. F. Ross. T<> them were born three child rem "^he became a member of the Xethodist Episcopal church February z ■ ' 20, 1893. Three great opportunities are offered to woman to be a sincere Christian, a faithful wife, a loving mother. Mrs. Ross entered all of these open doors, and the highest eulogy we can pronounce is that they who knew her best doubted her the least. After a sickness of a little more than two weeks she obtained her release. Father, mother, sister, hus band and three little boys are the central figures in a large company whose hearts are tilled with sadness, but who are comforted by the knowledge that she has done her part to assure a happy meeting afterwhile.

Groves, president of the Institute, led the devotions and started the work according to programme. The recitations ; and discussions were excellent. The leading thought of every minister seemed to be, How can I better prepare myself for this great and holy calling. The Tuesday evening service was 1 supplied by Rev. J. A. Groves, of Warsaw, in the absence of Rev. R. J. Parrett, who was not able to be here because of sickness. The service was evangelistic in every sense of the word. Quite a large number stood up asking for prayers for themselves and relatives and friends. The institute closed Wednesday at 4p. m., but Rev. C. H. Bell, presiding elder of Warsaw district, preached in the evening to a large congregation of happy listeners. He was the former p;istor hen'. The services throughout were well attended and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Also the Hon. J. H. Brubaker, of War saw, was present and gave an excellent address on the proposed new college of the U. B. church in that place. The building is to cost and willlikely be built this fall.

Will Kill Disease Germs. A couple Chicago professors, says an exchange, have been experimenting with the Cathode or X rays, and thev announce that they have made some remarkable discoveries. They claim that the X rays are sure death to all kinds of disease breeding germs and that epidemics in the future will be impossible. So far experiments have been carried on by securing germs of various diseases and developing them especially for experfe^tbl purposes.’ The bacilli were selected with the great est care and then subjected to the X rays. The professors claim that the destruction was complete, and at the expiration of eight days there was no spark of life in the germs. It is claimed by these scientists that the destruction of germs in the human system can be done most effectually, and that such diseases as cholera,diphtheria, influenza, glanders, pneumonia, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and anthrax can be
