[From Thursdays Daily
Two new cases were filed in the office
of the clerk of the supreme court yester-
day for review by that tribunal at Grand
Forks next month. One was Joseph
Cleary, appellant, VS. Eddy County. re-
.spondent, and is an action brought by
Clearyt to secure pay for office rent
furnished the county. The board of
commissioners disallowed the bill, the
judge of the district court on appeal said
it was all right to so act and now Mr..
Cleary is going to try it again in the
court of last resort. Mr.. Cleary is we'll
known attorney of the state and appears
for himself, while E. w. Camp will look
after the defense.
The second action comes up from the
court of Hon. Roderick Rose, from Eos
ter county, and is entitled John G. Yeat-
man VS.. James King and wife, the county
of Foster, James Murphy, treasurer of
said county and Walter M. Moore, coun-
ty auditor. This was an action brought
to foreclose a real estate mortgage ex-
ecuted in the year 1887 by King to
the plaintiff. In the year 1890 and 1891,
King availed himself of the provisions of
the seed lien law passed by the legisla-
ture in 1890 and Foster county supplied
him with wheat for seed purposes on the
premises incumbered by Yeatman's mort
gage. The statute in question provides
that the amount of the charge for the
grain furnished shall be a tax on the
land,if not paid, and shall be made good
to the county in like manner as other
taxes. In effect it becomes an incum-
brance prior to the mortgage indebted
ness. Judge Rose holds that such can
not be the fact; that the seed lien is in
ferior to the prior mortgage and ad.
judged a sale of the premises in this or
der of claims. The county appeals and
the question will be a very important
one for ~theisupreme court to hear. The
aggregate Of kindred claims in the state
is large and if the decision of Judge
Rose is affirmed many of the counties will
have to pocket a large loss.

Science In Bread Making
At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical society, held in
Washington, D. c., the question of the
value Of carbonate of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread, or as used in
baking powders, came up for discussion,
in which Prof. Barker, of the university
of Pennsylvania, and president of the
Society; DR.. Richardson, late of the
United States Department of Agriculture
in Washington; DR.. VIM McMutrie, late
Prof. of Chemistry in the University of
Illinois, DR.. E. H. Barley, late Chemist
ofthe Brooklyn, N. Y, board of health,
and Prof.of Chemistry of the Long Island
college, and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia. 1t was stated as a fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the
flour more soluble than the original
gluten, and that the bread in which this
action was produced by carbonate of
ammonia must be more digestible and
hence more healthful, and because of
the extreme volatility of carbonate of
ammonia, and it's complete expulsion
from the bread in the process of baking,
it is one of the most useful, most healthful
and most valuable %leavening agents
known.
l.lThese conclusions are borne out by
the very elaborate and exhaustive ex-
periments made by Prof. j. w. Mallet, of
the university Of Virginia, which show
conclusively that bread made with a bak-
ing powder in which n per cent. of
carbonate Of ammonia is used, in con-
nection with cream of tartar and soda, is
not only of uniformly better Color and
texture, but a product more wholesome,
because the ammonia serves to neutra.
lie any organic or Tactic acids present in
the flour.

W. Erwin, who delivered his soul-stirring
Farmers Alliance address at the Athe-

find Tascott, and the chances are that he
hasn't, but he is credited with the follow
ing: "One day last February or March
a man came into my office and introduced
himself as Samuel G. Golden, of st.
Johns, Rolette county, N. D. He startled
me by declaring he knew where Tascott
was, and had seer him a dozen times re-

to him that he would give himself up if
he could have the written assurance of
the states attorney of Cook county, I'LL

ment that the sentence would be impris-
onment for life, instead of hanging.

pocket from a near relative of Tascott, in
which the proffer of surrender was made.

Sweden, six and one-half feet high.
The column at the base is three feet
eight inches by two feet ten inches. The
inscription on the monument states that
it is erected by friends of the deceased

PANAMA HATS.
They Are Manufactured Every Year q
the Extent Of zoe, 900 Dozen.

Panama hats are so named from the
circumstance Of their being shipped
from tho port of Panama, says the
Galveston Globe. They arc manufact-
ured in Ecuador and the neighboring
states. The material used is the fiber
of the leaf OF the screw pine. which is
related to the palms. It grows only
on the slopes of the Andes. The tree
is described as having no trunk. The
leaves are on slender stems that spring
from the ground. They are about two
feet long. fan-shaped. and four-parted.
Each OF the segments is ten-cleft. so
that when the leaf is folded. rs in the
bud. there are eighty layers.
The tibers of these leaves are finely
plated. and each hat consists OF sim
gle piece Of work. The plating Of the
hats is slow anI tiresome process.
Coarse hats may be finished in two
or three days. but the fine ones
take as many months. The work Is
begun at the crown and finished at the
brin. The hat is made on q block.
which is placed on the knees and has
to be constantly pressed with the
breast.
About 200. 900 dozens Of these hats
are made every year. The price varies
according to the tirmness Of the ma
terial and the quality of the work.
They are valued at from s. to 800.
Panama hats are much priced for
wear in the tropics. because of their
lightness and fexibility. They may
be rolled up and put into the pocket
without injury. In the rainy season
they are apt to get black. but BY wash
ing them with soap and water. treating
them with lime Juice or any similar
acid. and exposing them to the sun
their whiteness is easily restored.
In Australia there is manufactured
q hat which is said to resemble the
Panama hat very closely. 1t is made
from the unexpanded leaves of ma
tive plant, which are immersed In
boiling water and then dried. The
fiber obtained by this treatment is
plated as in South America.
Under the name Of "Chattahs" o
kind Of umbrella hat or sunshade is
made in India Of the leaves Of palm
or of the plantation leaf. Chattahs
are worn by the plowmen. cow-keep-
ers. and coolies of Bengal and Assam.

1.-THE Act OF God.

"The act OF God" Is O phrase Gu
riously surviving In law from medieval
times. meaning that the act complain
ed Of was the work Of some unexpect-
ed accident for which fallible mortals
cannot be held responsible. In re-
cent case the Supreme Court Of the
United States used words that seem to
imply that as time goes on this plea
for escape from responsibility Is to be
less and less regarded. A train on the
Virginia Midland railroad had been de-
rallied in narrow cut in consequence
of a landslide which was due to
heavy fall OF rain. In deciding an
action for damages incurred in the ac-
cident the court remarked significant.
": "You who know so much about the
law Of God and the processes of nature
must have foreseen that the earth
hanging over that narrow, unprotect-
ed cut would be loosened by the rain
and brought down upon your track ky
the law of gravity. Common pru-
dence and ordinary engineering skill
would have prevented such q result
and we. therefore. hold you. and not
God. responsible This language de-
serves attention. because 1t plainly
suggests that with the extension of
skill and knowledge the responsibility
of carriers is gradually approaching
that Of absolute Insurance. A hundred
years ago the plea of the Virginia Mid
land railway company would in a
similar case have doubtless been ac-
cepted. for the rain storm was unusual
and honestly unexpected. In a hum
dred years from now. perhaps. on the
other hand, the plea Of the ''act of
God" will be unknown in our courts.
for by that time science may be sufii-
ciently advanced to provide for every
purely material contingency.

ease and skill with which she puts q

learned to write hobbies the writer
would not venture to explain. Per-

people say. naturally" perhaps she
learned in the same way she became
able to sit her mare, Liz" by trying.
While she was still small tot visit
ing relatives she was put on horseback
and told to ride. She did as she was
told and went everywhere about the
country greatly to the agitation OF her
mother when she learned what the
small girl was doing.
The animal she rode. mare named
Liz" had many good points and one
bad one-she stumbled. One day the
little rider opened her eyes to find her
self lying on heap Of stones. She had
been thrown and had lain, nobody
knows how long, stunned. Poor
Liz" stood looking sorry and ashamed
enough. aud little Kate picked herself
up, remounted and went home rs II
nothing had happened.
She didn't tell ut the time. but she
had to tell afterward. because she had
hurt her back and an illness was the
result OF the tumble. 1t was not until
about nine years ago that Miss Field
rode again. An army officer induced
her to mount and she has since secured
the mesa Of San Diego. the valley OF
Salt Lake and the mountains and plains
OF Colorado. In the East she has rid
den in South Norwalk. Conn.,. in Rich
field Springs. in Washington and in
Central Park very frequently. Of late
most Of her riding has been done upon
a very lively hobby horse.
