Going For Standard Oil.

The trial of the case of the state
against State Senator McGillivray of
Dickinson, for an alleged violation of the
state oil inspection law, was held Tues
day. The action was brought by the
agent of the Standard OIL company, who
claimed that defendant was handling un-
inspected oil. It is said the defense
proved that all legal requirements had
been complied with, and that the trial
brought out the additional fact that the
state inspector had stamped about twen-
ty barrels of oil in storehouse at Dick
inson, and stated that the oil was ap-
proved for Illuminating purposes without
ever testing a single drop of it, and in
his own language on the witness stand,
mot knowing whether the barrels SO la
beled, contained whlskey or OIL" The
case has created great deal of talk be-
cause of the prominence of the defend
ant, and friends Of Mr.. McGillivray are
jubilant over the victory.

from the east, who is enjoying the sum-
mer land Of North Dakota IN our city.
my friend," said he, "can you tell me the
meaning Of this stiffness which prevades
the town, the downcast look OF the citi-
zens as they pass by, as if some great
calamity had befallen the city?" I re-
piled: Indeed there has. for we have
just been informed the Northern Pacific
are going to move our depot to Fargo as
soon as their hotel is finished. Think of
the solitude the park and Gladstone will
have without that depot" He said,
"What! move that massive structure;
with it's delicate perfumed wood from
foreign cllmes,-never! I will away to
st. Paul and there beseech the Northern
Pacific company to let it remain where
it is, a lasting tribute to show what they
have done for the city of Jamestown"
So we smile as usual and think truly, our
lot has been cast IN pleasant place.

Ex-Governor Church's Additions.

Everett, Wash, News: Governor Louis
K. Church Is firm believer in the old
adage, 1T never rams but it pours." His
mascot has been attending strictly to
business during the past few months,
and, to use slang expression, things
have been coming his way; he has been
literally overwhelmed with torrent of
blessings. His heavy investments in
Everett realty, as everyone hereabouts
know, have made him rich, but he ad-
mits himself that Sunday night capped
the climax of his good fortune, when
his wife presented him with twins-as fine
pair of babies as ever swelled parents
heart with love and pride. And all his
host of friends declare that there is moth
ing too good for Governor Church-and
the babies.

THE COLD snap.
A Spell of WeaIher---Jack Frost i'm
His Glory,

The present cold snap is one of unusual
length and severity. Not for several
years has the extreme cold continued for
such length of time. The cold wave is.
felt everywhere throughout the north
west and is particularly severe in the
eastern and middle states. Reports from
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Illinois show the
Thermometer to have been below 90
degrees. Much fear is expressed for the.
SAFETY OF the winter wheat crop, and
great suffering is predicted among the
poor in the large cities, if the cold
weather does not soon abate. No re-
ports of death or suffering IN this state,
have been received, although the cold
on the pralries must be great. Farmers
are we'll prepared for it, however, both as
to their own families and stock. The
mercury indicated 40 below at 8 O'Clock
a; m. Monday in northwest exposure
The severity of the weather Monday was
increased by a stiff wind from the north.
west. For the last ten days the mercury
has not risen above zero.

A GREAT INVENTION.
Preparing Lignlte Coal by Conn
preston.

A few years ago system of compress.
ing or moulding into bricks the screen.
ings of anthracite and bituminous coal
was discovered that has been improved
upon from time to time until now
"pressed eggette fuel" promises to revo-
lutionize the coal business. By this
process it has recently been discovered
the poorer grades of coal and screenings
can, at slight cost, be made almost
equal in value to given weight of the
best coal in the natural state. The secret
and patent for this process is owned by
parent company in Philadelphia, which
has in it's directory some Of the leading
business nen and capitalists in the
country.
Mr.. NJ. Nirdlinger of Milwaukee,
Wis.,, is vice president of the concern
and general western manager. This
gentleman arrived in Bismarck Tues
day. 1t was TO the Acme Fuel COM
pany, of Milwaukee, an offshoot of
the parent concern, that car Of Ignite
coal from Sims was shipped by Bis
marck parties last summer. Mr.. Nird-
linger brings the information that 1t was
his company that wanted it, and after a
thorough test he is prepared to say that
after being treated by this new process
it becomes fuel nearly equal to the
best bituminous coal. By this process
the Ignite is ground and mixed with an
adhesive compound and sent through a
machine which crompresses it, and turns
It out in egg shaped chunks, which when
placed in the stove or furnace give the
best possible combustion, and therefore
the maximum amount of heat.
Mr.. Nirdlinger came up from St. Paul,

1888,
The Rail Snapped.

The distressing accident on the North
ern Pacific railroad Friday, near Brain
erd, whereby two ladies of the Andrews
opera company we're burned to death,
and twelve others severely injured, can
he classed under the head of not pre-
ventable. In this climate, especially in
winter, the broken rail is difficult mat
ter to insure against in rallroading. Ex-
ira precautions IN running in extreme
cold weather is about all that can be
done. The weight Of rails on curves,
such as to prevent ordinary accidents,
and eighty pound rails are considered
amply heavy and in general use on the
Northern Pacific. The long severe cold
spell has rendered rails brittle, but up to
Friday no accident has occurred. The
disaster at Brainerd would have resulted
in all likelihood in little injury to any
occupant OF the overturned sleeper had
not the usual horrors Of fire from lamps
and heated stoves followed. The train
was running not to exceed Is miles an
hour. Supt. Green says that the ther.
mometer was 40 degrees below zero, and
that no blame can be attached to the em.
ployees. r. r. Wise took the injured
into the Arlington hotel at Brainerd and
did everything possible to relieve their
sufferings. As most of the ladies in the
opera company escaped IN their night
clothes the extreme cold weather was
cause of much suffering Mrs. Andrews,
wife of the proprietor OF the opera com.
pany, was the favorite Of the troupe. She
and her maid. Miss Wallace Of Mime
apolis, were sleeping together and the
trunks of their bodies were found in close
embrace, with the bed clothing so wound
and wrapped about them that in the OK.
element and confusion of the accident
they were perhaps unable to extricate
themselves.
The company was going to Graod
Forks for three performances.
The members of the troupe lost all
their clothes, jewelry, money and other
effects, the majority Of them having to
send out from the hotel for wearing
apparel before they could appear in
public Besides those who we're severely
injured nearly all were more or less
bruised and those who are not in bed are
limping around the hotel with court
plaster adornments.
The Pullman conductor lost a fur coat

The annual business meeting of the
alliance hail department was held
at the headquarters of the company
Wednesday and Thursday. The time was
taken up in looking over the reports of
the years business. checking up the ac-
counts and other necessary work.Among
the officers and directors who were
present FROM abroad we're, E. D. Wallace,
Hope; H. N. CLARK, New Rockford; o. G.
Major, Clifford; W. J. Burnett, Cum
mings; David Morton, Grandin; w. E.
Boise, Bellevayria; Walter Muir, Hunter;
D. @. Briggs, Bathgate; G. d. Edick,
Sterling.
The old board of directors hold over.
The officers who were reelected were F.
B. Fancher, president and manager;
Walter Muir, lce-president: H. N.
CLARK, secretary, and w. NJ. Lloyd, treas
urer. Mr.. Fancher's work was we'll re-
ceived bv the board, and on the whole
the business done, satisfactory. The
promise for increased business in '92 is
also bright.
The company insured about 10000
acres at 25 cents an acre, for a maximum
loss of $500 an acre. The losses on the
immense crop were $39, 900 in round mum
bers. Resources, including membership
fees, notes and interest, amount to
$335.26. All that has been collected has
been paid out in losses and expenses of
the company. There were paid up pre-
miums of 1921, leaving $l4,7l9 unpaid
notes. Many of these will be paia as
soon as farmers thresh. A payment of
60 per cent has already been made, and
two other payments will follow, one IN
the spring and another IN the fall of the
year.
In order to provide for deficiency Of
liabilities, the bylaws of the company,
which is duly organized under state laws,
were amended so that assessable notes at
30 cents an acre instead of 25 cents, can
be taken but are not collectable until it
ID determined that 1t Is necessary. Ihe
bylaws we're also amended IN several
other respects which it is believed will
be for the interest Of the company.
F. B. Fancher, e. Nj. Sanford, Walter
MUIR, w. q. Briggs OF Bathgate, W. E..
Boies of Hope, attended the annual
meeting of the South Dakota hail COM
pany at Huron last week. The North
Dakota premium notes were turned over
to the North Dakota department, and
all old matters that have been unsettled
since the division of the territory, ad-
justed. The North Dakota company will
endeavor to make collections for the
years IN which the old notes yet remain
unpaid, and there is strong reason to be-
lieve that considerable dividends can be
obtained from this source.

THE ASYLUM WELL.
Contractors Encounter an OBJ.
stacle which will Prevent
Drilling Deeper.
An Invention Which Promises
to Solve the Question
of Fuel.
An Explanation OF the Weather

the Il. o,
The Asylum Well Plugged.

AASS
The asylum trustees transacted good
deal of business at their last meeting. A
full board was present, consisting Of
Trustees Fancher, Smith, Lieber, Auld,
and Paulson, the last named being &C.
companied by his wife. Trustees Auld
OF Dickinson, and Smith of Wheatland,
spent Sunday at the institution. All OF
the December accounts wele audited
While in session the board was Informed
that the drill now cleaning out the arte-
sian we'll had evidently struck steel
obstruction IN the bottom of the we'll, as
shavings of steel were found on the point
of the drill. It is believed that this will
effectually prevent any further excaya-
ton of the we'll. The board had about
concluded to sink the hole deeper by 80
or &C feet, if it had been easily cleaned
out. 1t is supposed that tie obstruction
has been dropped by some
person, into the we'll, for
the purpose of compelling the
state to spend another $1,000 or
$1,000. In the opinion of many the state
has been elegantly swindled in the con-
struction of the asylum artesian wells.
This Is the second hole dug and
the total cost of both, with the ex-
penditure of the last appropriation, will
aggregate nearly $4,000, and as yet
nothing is to show for it except the
present we'll which 1T is hoped will fur
nish water, if not fire protection, as was
expected. The city we'll Of jamestown
is scarcely mile distant, cost about
$500, and has furnished more water
than the city can use, and affords an
excellent fire protection for portion Of
the town. If the we'll at the hospital
had been paid for from any other source
than the state, it is admitted generally
that the asylum would have have had a
good flowing, fire protecting we'll long
ago. It has taken about five years to
prosecute this expensive and disappoint-
ing work. while the city's was completed
in six months. Every legislature has been
bled to provided funds for the we'll,
which is great necessity to the instltu-
tion.
The present board IS doing what they
can to get back the flow of water, about
5000 barrels day, that was obtained by
the Gray Bros, of Milwaukee, but which
only lasted short time, and has
gradually diminished until it was
necessary to clean out the hole, or com.
mence new well. The trustees have
placed the work Of clearing out the well
with new firm of contractors from
Illinois, and are in hopes that the efforts
to get permanent water supply will be
successful,
