One of tho strong arguments used by

she is not mechanical, and that wornen
have done nothing to contribute to the
comfort Of the labor sewing devices that
are used even in their own homes.
Whatever truth there may have been IN
this objection. we cannot see where it
applies against suffrage. II Is evident.
however, that women are entering that
field which men have hitherto claimed
as exclusively their own. We SEQ by the
latest English patent reports that even

In America women have entered the
field Of science as well equipped and
with as strong and correct q spirit of in
vestigation as the men. Already they
occupy a high position in the medical

women doctors in consultation. Many

ARTESlAN IRRIGATION.
The Water Excellent for Gar
denS, Lawns and the
Farm.
Scheme for Another Superflu-
Gus Public lnstitution-Fish
for SpiritWood.

rurtner inquiry IN regard TO the use OF
artesian water for irrigation purposes
confirms the statements published in
The Alert OF Saturday. Upon the first
use Of the water upon lawns there were
complaints in many quarters Of the kill
ing of the grass, due in part, it is believed
by injudicious use of the water durlng
the heat Of the day and also to the
minerals, the alkslines and salts, held in
solution in the water. In one or two
instances portions of lawns we're re-
sodded. The continued use of the water
in late years, however, shows that for
irrigation purposes The water is wholly
satisfactory when correctly applied and
all plant life, except that peculiarly sus-
ceptible to salts, thrlves under it's use.
1t is found that best results are &C.
comp'ished in letting the water flow over
tho ground. thoroughly saturating the
soil, and allowing little or none to touch
the leaves and stalks of the plants, than
when sprayed upon vegetation. What
ever deleterious substances there may be
in the water are absorbed by the soil,
which acts as filter, and only the
nourishlng qualities reach the roots and
plants. Gooseberries, particularly sus-
ceptlble to salines, die under continued
use of the water, while raspberries and
current bushes thrive absorbing the
water with great benefit. Gooseberry
bushes from St. Louis, Minneapolis and
those indigenous to the soil have been
experimental with and all uniformly
succumb to the effects Of the water.
Vegetables, potatoes and few crops
experimented with seem to show no i'll
effects whatever.
1t Is stated that upon the opening Of
the we'll and the first use OF its waters 1t
was found that bath IN artesian water
had the same exhiierating effect upon
the skin that followed sea bath, but
now, it is affirmed, this is lacklng-there
seems to be smaller quantity of salts
held in solution. Also the water upon
it's use at first for drinking purposes
strongly affected the urinary organs, in
creaslng the secretlons ana frequency OF
the discharges. Now it is used with i'm
punity in hotels and dwelling houses
and no deleterious effects produced-or
but slight. As remarked previously, the
tendency seems largely to be in the
direction OF Improvement in the quality
Of the artesian water for culinary, drink.

ANOTHER PULL ON TAXPAYERS

Scheme to Get Feeble Minded Institution
at Grafton.
A move is being made to add another
expensive institution to North Dakota's
already long list The state constitution
located the future feeble-minded i1sti-
tuition OF the state at Jamestown, in con.
nection with the insane hospital. The
people of Grafton, aided by Senator
Hansbrough, are trying to take this
future institution away from this
place, and establish it there as soon as
possible. In order to do so it will be
necessary to amend the constitution and
to do this legally, due notice is being
given by the publication, without other
comment to attract attention, of the fol-
lowing notice in several papers Of the
state:
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.
To amend subdivision ''eight" OF section
2l5, OF article 10 of the constitution of
the State Of North Dakota.
Be it resolved by the senate, the house
of representatives cOncurrinR:
Section l. That the following amend
ment of subdivision 8, of section 2l5, OF
article 19, of the Constitution of the
State OF North Dakota. be referred to
the next legislative assembly of this
state to be by said legislative assembly
submitted to the people of this state for
adoption or rejection IN accordance with
the provisions Of section 2O2 Of article Is,
of the constitution Of the State Of North
Dakota.
Sec. 2 That subdivision "eieht," Of
section 2l5, of the Constitution of the
State OF North Dakota be amended SO as
to read as follows:
subdivision "elght." A state hospital
for the insane at the city Of Jamestown,

grant OF land made by the act Of con-
gress aforesaid for "other educational
and charitable institutions" to the bene.
fit and for the endowment Of said lnsti-
tutions in equal division OF said land.
The people Of the state do not want
another institution built for the exclu-
sive care of feeble minded children.
There have never been enough OF such
children in tho state to warrant it, and
will not be for many years to come. The

Mr.. and Mrs. Bolinger, Mr.. and Mrs.
Judd, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas and others
OF the party who have been occupying
the Judd Photographic quarters at the
lake, have greatly enjoyed the outing.
During one of its trips down the lake
last week the Lulu" broke shaftine
which made 1t necessary to get row
boat to tow her in shore. All was re-
paired promptly and the little steamer
was plowing the waves merrily again
yesterday.
There is noticeable disappearance of
timber from the north shore and renewed
efforts to punish those cutting trees,
which IS done in winter mostly by for
eigners, will be made. An association OF
property owners and others ought to
look after this matter at once.

everything their own way. The theft
was not discovered until the following
morning when the store was opened to
begin the days business.
1t is thought that the men engaged in
the crime were professional safe crackers.
A hole was drilled in the top of the safe,
in just the right location, and the safe
door blown off. Cloths had been placed
in front of the door to deaden both the
noise of the explosion and the fall, while
a pail of water which stood conveniently
near, had been supplied, in case fire
should have been set anywhere. The
safe was constructed with double doors
but only the outside one was locked and
ingress was easily obtained after the
explosion.
Chief of Police Thompson Tuesday
received description OF one Of the men
wanted for the job and soon afterwards
rounded up couple of fellows, one of
whom answered the description. He is

Monday-Wedding Of Al.
II. Klein.

The burning Of the court house and
stores at LaMoure has not been such
great calamity as was at first indi.
Gated for the town. There were but
three large firms burned out, and the
total loss from the fire may not exceed
$4,000. The firms carried stocks rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000. The other
business firms that lost we're of the
smaller kind, with much less valuable
stocks.
The court house building was fur
| nished the county free OF cost by the VII
lage of LaMoure, for twenty years, on
the old county seat contract. This was
frame building. insured for $4,000, anG
would cost perhaps $4,000 to rebuild.
Receiver Kinter, Of the Lloyd bank, has
offered to sell the vacant two-story brick
building, which did not burn, formerly
occupied by the bank, for $500, and as
the stock holders and depositors are
willing, and the building has a vault and
can be made convenient for court house
purposes, 1t is probable that the county
will secure it. The village board has yet
fourteen years to provide the county
with court house and little money out
side of the insurance of $500 on the old
building to rebuild.
Mr.. E. P. Wells, with his usual enter
prise, has been in LaMoure for several
days looking after the prospects for re.
building. The Leland hotel, built at
cost Of 100000, has never been profit
able Investment. Fortunately that
structure, as we'll as the store adjoining,
both on the north side Of the track,
and owned by Mr.. Wells, did not burn.
He has offered to run wall through one
side of the hotel building in which there
is store room where the postot1ice is
located, and make fine large store
room for business purposes; also will
build another suitable room for the post
office and finish off the adjoining store
for business house. A few owners of
lots IN the burned district are anxious to

greater number are unable to do SO at
present.
In the block opposite, the depot there
are about half the lots owned by Mr..
Wells and John Lloyd, and the invest
ment OF money IN buildings on them is
very doubtful. There will be sufficient
building, however this fall to accommo-
date all the business requirements,
although no definite business plans have
been announced.
In some respects the fire has proved
benefit to the place, as it cleared away a
number of cheap frame buildings, which
in the future will be replaced by SUBJ
stantial brick buildings.
