Fun Ahead.

This incident in one of the county seat
fights is related by the 0rionyille Headlight;
There is fun ahead in Roberts county, Da-
kota. Wilmot and Travare both claim the
county seat by the vote of the late election.
The vote was canvassed at Travare, and Will
mot was counted out. AS soon as this was
apparent the Wilmot representatives imme-
diately dispatched for reinforcement. aud a

battle, but by this time the Travare sages had
skipped across the line into Minnesota, and
the county records also had taken the same
course. Wilmot was of course left out in the

For m. Uh~at Gro,rers.

Col. Richardson, leading member Of the
council elect. outlines in this something Of
the legislation for the benefit Of wheat
growers that will be urged, and IL is hoped
that the legislature of Minnesota will act in
harmony with it on these questions: First,
that the railroads be made to live up TO their
obligations as common carriers and supply
cars 10 be loaded from wagons or permit the
building of warehouses by private parties
along their lines; second, equitable rates Of
transportation; and third, the entire oboli-
ton of all systems of grading, so that all
wheat may be sold by sample on the open
market. Competition will do the rest.

Constitutional Contention.

Many of the journals in the south, perhaps
nearly all, desire this action taken by the
Legislature: The most important step, and
the very first one that the coming legislature
should take, should be to pass a bill calling
constitutional convention, at which con-
stitution should be framed for that part OF
Dakota lying south of the 46th parallel, and

Simple Tests for the Purity of Water.

In suspected potable water for per-
sons who cannot command chemical
analysis, the following tests are re-
commended as being generally avail
able and reliable:
Color-Fill bottle of colorless
glass with the water; look through
the water at some black object; the
water should appear perfectly color
less and free from suspended matter.
A muddy or turbid appearance indi-
Gates the presence of soluble organic
matter, OF of soluble matter in sus-
pension. 1t should be clear as crys-
tai.
Odor-Empty out some of the
water, leaving the bottle half full ;
cork up the bottle and place it for &
few hours in a warm place shake up
the water, remove the cork and criti-
cally smell the air contained in the
bottle. If it has any smell, and es-
pecially if the odor is in the least
repulsive, the water should be re-
jected for domestic use. BY heating
the water to boiling, an odor is evolv-
ed sometimes that otherwise does not
appear.
Taste-Water fresh from the well
is usually tasteless, even though it
may contain large amount Of pu-
troscible matter. Water for domestic
use should be perfectly tasteless, and
remain so even after it has been
warmed, since warming often devel-
opes taste in water which is tasteless
when cold. If the water, at any time
has repulsive or even disagreeable
taste, it should be rejected.
Heisch's Test for Sewage Contain
ination-The delicacy of the sense Of
smell or taste varies greatly in differ
ent individuals; one person may fail
to detect the foul contamination of a
given water, which would be very evil
dent to person of finer organization.
But if the cause of bad smell or taste
exists in water, the injurious effect on
health will remain the same, whether
recognized or not. Moreover, some
water of very dangerous quality will
fail to give any indication by smell or
taste. For these reasons | attach spe-
cial Importance to Heisch's test for
sewage contamination or the presence
of putrescible organic matter. The
test is SO simple that anyone can use
it. Fill a clean pint bottle three
fourths full of the water to be tested,
and dissolve in the water a teaspoon
full of the purest sugar-loaf or gran
ulated sugar will answer cork the
bottle and place it in a warm place
for two days. If in twenty-four to
forty-eight hours the water becomes
cloudy or muddy, it is unfit for domes-
tic use. If it remains perfectly clear
it is probably safe to use.-Ex.

An "American Duel"

Germany is in great excitement over
q strange, tragical, domestic drama,
still shrouded in mystery. In 1881 Herr
Won Putilz married the daughter of
Count Flemming The marriage was
every way suitable. Wife and husband
both were young, rich, in high social
position. She was exquisitcly bearS-
full, and one of the most cultivated, Ill
tellectual women of Berlin. They
seemed to be happiest among the happy
until last year, when he became en-
tangled in mysterious business. What
was ftp The secret is still kept. Rumor
has it that he had fallen into quarrel
(about whatP) with man in such weak
health that Herr Won Puttlitz refused to
accept duel with him, upon the ground;
ITO fight with such u man would be to
commit murder, for should certainly
kill him, as he Is not only so weak rs
scarcely to be able to stand but he is so
nearsighted he can not see the end of his
nose" Who was this Adversary The
German newspapers do not so much as
give his initials. The insult given was
Judged so grave as to be avenged only
by blood. San American duel" was
resolved on. II is really annoying to
hear this barbarous bloodshed called
ian American duel" when no such
duel was ever fought in America, when
this barbarous custom is nothing in the
world but the old medieval purgation
by ordeal, which had its origin in Ger
many. So it was agreed to cast lots.
One ballot was blank. On the other
was one word: Death" He who
drew this ballot was to commit suicide
within year and day. Herr Won
Puttlitz drew the fatal ballot. Twelve
months and day were between him
and the grave. He had always been n
hard student. His ambition was to be
professor. He, accompanied by his
lovely wife, set out for Italy. He
studied assidiously giving especial at
tcntion to socialistic theories. He some
time since published work on Proud
hon which attracted a great deal of at
tention in Germany. The 10Th Of July
he was elected professor of Halle uni
versity. His wife (who seems to have
been ignorant of her. husbaod's DOOM
had packed up everything to move to
Halle. She had quilted her husband to
spend few days with her family. The
ZUn uay oi Juiy was the iast u"y VI tho
appointed year and day. He before
sunset blew out his brains. His father
is well known literary man and
dramatist, who lives in Carlsruhc,
where he is very popular The Amer
lean duel" has more than once before
this been fought in Germany. A brother
of Van Flotow, composer Of Martha, "
blew out his brains under circumstances
like those just described.-Pdris Cor. ~.

Ice-Eating Flies.

"Evcry time / see blue-bottle fly, p"
said the nautical cop at Eighth and
Chestnut Streets yesterday, as he made
u grab at one of the insects buzzing in
front of his nose, ''it reminds me of the
day that | saw the big cloud of blue ice
flies i'm Siberia. Don't think ever men
toned it, did L 4? Let me see-I think
it was in the fall of 1865. Our vessel
was ice-bound on the coast of Siberia,
and off to card about two hundred
yards was an iceberg about thirty feet
high. 1t was Just about roon-time, and
the sun was shining brightly. l had
taken my trick at the wheel, and was
lying i'm the fo'castle, when the mate
came running for rerd and woke me up.
Turn out, YOU lubber, says he, If you
want to see the greatest thing you ever
saw in your life. There's big crowd
of ice-nies coming down from the north,
and well be sure to get out OF here in
side the next hour.
81 hadn't the least idea what the
mate meant, but | obeyed orders and
scrambled up on deck. / looked over
the starboard bow, and way up north
could see what appeared to be big
black patch in the blue sky. As it
came nearer, | saw that the cloud was
composed of millions and millions OF
little blue-bodicd flies, with long wings
and web feet Il hope to goodness they
don't skip the berg, said the captain,
looking at the flock with his glass, 'or
we're good to stay here another week,
and if-by jove, he continued, they've
struck it.
"This remark was caused by the fact
that the cloud had settled on the ice
berg. Now, sir, what do you think
happened? Why, dog-gone my buttons
if that cloud of flies didn't eat up every
spcck of that berg inside of thirty-eight
minutes! Yes, sir! There wasn't a
piece big enough left to make glass
of lemonade. Eat il up clear and
clean, and let us get out without any
