Temporarily Involved.

A Chicago dispatch states, with how
much truth is not known, that the Great
Western Manufacturing company, one of
the largest manufacturing concerns of
electric supplies in America, of which l.,
t. Casey OF this city is president, con-
fessed judgement IN the United States
circuit court Monday for $4,000 on a
note payable to Mary j. Lamb, who is
said to have loaned the corporation large
sums at various times.
TIE headquarters of the company,
which has an extensive plant at Duluth,
are in Chicago. 1t also has important
branches at P1ttsburg and Denver. The
company has capital stock OF $780,
Co., rep; p;esented for the most parts by
patents and franchises. It's liabilities are

Investigating Wild Barley.

An Interesting bulletin has just come
to the Fargo Agricultural college station
as publication from the Idaho Expert
ment station concerning the grass which
Is common in this region, and is known
IN different localities as wild bar
ley. squirrel tail, fox tail, etc. It is we'll
known by stockmen that it is one of their
worst pests. AS forage grass it has no
value, and it is not only pest in fields
where it grows in spite of almost any
cultivation, but it is commonly believed
that it is injurious to stock, because of
numerous barbs attached to the awns of
the seed. The Idaho station has made
some Investigations and finds that where
cattle Or sheep are continually fed upon
hay containing large quantities of this
grass, very large percentage of them
have abnormally developed Jaw bones
and other bony structures of the head
are injured. Undoubtedly such Injuries
effect very greatly the health and feed
ing capabilities of the animals. This
Wild barley is a native Of this region and
though hard to eyterminate. careful
farming will gradually lessen it's pres
ence.

An Advertisers Liberallty.

The Brockton (Mass.) Enterprise says
that Vim. L. Douglas, president of the
Douglas Shoe Co., employer of large
force OF operatives, will hereafter furnish
free medical attendance to all employees
He says there are hundreds of working
men and women who find doctors bill
great burden after period of enforced
ldleness, and that if this is lifted from
them they must feel that their employer
is interested in them ID some other way
than simply to get all the work he can
for just as little money as he can. They
will now feel free to consult the doctor
when they have slight troubles, which
heretofore they would not do because OF
the cost.

Would Make Il Good One.

1t good business qualifications and
parliamentary knowledge be requisites,
the candidacy OF J. G. Gill of Cass
county for speaker of the next house
ought to be regarded with great favor
He is one Of the most prominent and
best qualified members yet mentioned
for the position. AS farmer himself,
be is we'll acquainted with the wishes
and needs Of the farmers of the state.
He is besides an impartial and clear
headed man, large property owner and
one specially interested IN economical
administration of the states business.
There could scarcely be better choice
for speaker from the list OF men elected,
and it is a foregoae conclusion that If MIR.
Gill is chosen he would make fair pre-
siding officer and one of the most
popular that ever filed the position. His
experience in legislative bodies and his
farm interests alike seem to point TO him
as particularly good choice.

But little flax in that vicinity was sown

farmers had in large areas, in some in

case of the Grand Forks Herald against

biennial period as the law directs, hold

HE GOT THE PLUME.

A very ludricrous incident is re-
lated as having occurred in a fash
able church, in one of the larger
Western cities, on a recent Sunday
W lich is certainly calculated to cool
the churchgoing ardor of the young
man in the case and be a feature in
the experience of the young lady
that she will not soon forget
The young man, immaculate in a
long coat, light creased trousers
and spotless linen, was ushered to a
seat directly in front of a bewitch-
ing and stylishly dressed young lady
on whose curly head reposed an
elaborate and expensive model of
milliners art, the principal feature
OF which was very large and beau
tiful plume.
When the good dominic commenc-
ell his long prayer the young mans
thoughts were evidently on the
fair neighbor, and consequently he
neglected to assume an attitude of
reverence.
Not so with the young lady. She
Immediately bowed her head on the
back of the seat in front, and the
plume of her hat brushed the back
of the young mans neck.
Thinking it a fly he tried to scare
it away with his hand, but, like the
cat, it "came back" with the per
sstency of a book agent, and after
several vain attrmpts to keep it of
his neck, visions of centipedes,
scorpions tarantulas and other pois-
onous monsters filled his agonized
mind.
With desperation born Of despair,
he made one grand grab, secured
the troublesome object, gave quick
srong jerk and landed the gorgeous
plume in his lap.
Of course, the young lady was
surprised and indignant, and the
young man was so embarrassed that
he forgot to apologize at the close
of the service. = Rochester Demo
