Arguing the Kent Case.

The supreme court convened in Fargo
Monday, and the motion for new trial
in the Kent murder case, for which a
postponement Of the execution from the
23rd, INST, was secured, heard. Some of
The points raised to support the motion
we're the overruling of the motion for a
change of judges, the admission Of
Attorney Nye of Minneapolis, that the
evidence was not sufficient to sustain
the verdict, that the court mlsdirected
the jury on points of law, and that one
juror had forued an express opinion
before being sworn as juror.
Attorney NJ. A. Hildreth finished his
opening argument Monday and Tuesday
morning Attorney Voss, OF Mandan, was
heard. Mr.. Hlldreth argued first that
the motion for change of judges should
have been granted. The contention was
that the word "may" as used in the
statute, is mandatory, referring to the
criminal procedure, where it says that
"the judge OF such court may call any
other judge" ETC.; objected to court per-
mitting Mr.. Nye to appear in the case,
said Nye not being a resident or citizen
Of North Dakota; he was not member
OF the bar;of the state Of North Dakota;
he took no oath OF Office as such, etc.
These. with other arguments advanced
by MI. Hildreth took up nearly all day.

Samples were shown at the meeting.
There seemed to be fear of the intro
duction OF the Russian cactus in the SOW

The noxious seed, it 1s now discovered,
has been traced directly to foul fax seed

are unable to secure seed home grown
are somewhat fearful OF sending away.
The members of the society are IN
favor of changing their seed wheat,
believing that the best results can only
be obtained in getting newsupply from
time to time. The corresponding secre-
tary OF the society was instructed to
correspond with parties in different parts
Of the state, where it was supposed q
supply could be secured, with that OBJ
ject IN view. A change in seed ensures
a healthy, plump berry, and no deter
ioating of the crop. The matter of
holding farmers institute was dis
cussed. the need and value Of the same

season of enforced cessation from farm
labors, it was thought best to let the
matter go over until next fall when the
subject would be revived and q series Of
institutes planned for the coming winter.

This year Ash Wednesday, the first
day of Lent, falls on the 9th day of
February. All days IN Lent, Sundays
excepted are fast days. All the faithful
unless legitimately dispensed, are bound
to observe the fast OF Lent.
The law of fasting restricts the taking
of food to one full meal toward the
middle of the day, and in the evening to
a collation. not to exceed the fourth part
Of any ordinary meal, and excludes both
from the full meal and the collation. the
use Of flesh meats, eggs, and white meats,
(milk, butter, cheese, etc., BY apostolic
dispensation special privileges are
granted to the faithful IN the United
States.
Pastors will hold special exercises OF
devotion in the several churches at ap-
pointed times during Lent. Instructions
of practical character-upon the
Christian duties, the nature of the sacra-
ments, and the preparation for their due
reception, should be given on those oc-
casions. The devotion of the Way Of the
Cross will be observed in all churches
and chapels, when it is possible to do so,
on the Friday evenings througout Lent.

Discussed Seed Grain.

At the meeting Of the German agri'
cultural society Monday It seemed to
be the concensus Of opinion that the
farmers must do something more profit
able than the exclusive raising of wheat.
Many are in favor Of materially reducing
the wheat acreage, and the sowing Of
other grains. Buckwheat has been raised
quite successfully by farmers in Suits
man county for several years past and
there we're those at the meeting who be-
lieved that the coming year they could
do no better than to SOW that grain. 1t

LET THE MULES GO.

An Indication That Mexico and Guatemala
Have Reached Agreement.
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 27.-The secre-
tary Of the treasury has wired instruc-
tions to the customs authorities at Taba-
quila, Chiapas, for the return of the 200
mules which have been delayed at that
point for some time by order Of the gov
ernment. The stock belongs to the
American contracting firm of Park &
Thornton, who are engaged in con-
structing the Guatemalan road in Qua
temala, where the animals which were
purchased in this country, were urgently
needed. Their entrance into Guatemala
at a time when the peace relations were
threatened between that country and
Mexico evidently caused the Mexican
government to order them detained
until further development regarding the
internationals dispute were made. The
fact that the embargo on mules had
been raised, strengthens the impression
that the diplomatic conference between
Emilio de Leon, Guatemala envoy, and
Mexicos secretary Of foreign affairs has
reached peaceful conclusion.

-Four Cents For a Load Of Hay.

Valley City Alliance: Uncle Joel
Weiser recently shipped carload of
scrap iron and old brass and as return
for his enterprise he received check for
the munifcent sum of 63 cents. Up at
Odell, party of farmers shipped car
of potatoes to St. Paul. Two cents a
bushel was what they realized on that
car. Again another man from Wimble-
don shipped carload Of hay and re-
ceived in return two 2-cent postage
stamps. Now these instances would
seem to be IN opposition to the idea that
the farmers of North Dakota should
diversity; but they only prove that when
the North Dokotan attempts to compete
with the pig iron market of Wisconsin
by shipping Dakota grown scrap IRON,
the only thing that will save him from
loss will he his "brass." Again, when
farmers ship so cent potatoes in zero
weather. without fire in the car, 2 cents
a bushel is more money than such intelli-
gent farming is worth. AS to the baled
hay, not knowing all the circumstances,
we are unable to diagnose the case.

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The outbreak in
Cuba is said to have been Matched here
in New York. 1t is said by members Of
the Cuban revolutionary party that the
date set for the uprising has been known
since Feb 8.
Jose Marti, twice banished from Gu.
ban soil, because of his hate Of the
Spanish domination and General Max
imo Gomez, who commanded the East
ern wing of the Cuban rebels in the
revolution Of 1868, left New York two
weeks ago. Their arrival in Cuba was
to be the signal for the uprising.
Marti will be the head of the provi-
sional government if the revolutionists
are successful.
General Gomez is the COMMANDMENTS
chief Of the revolutionary forces.
Can Arm 5000 Men.
Men who are high in the councils of
the Cuban party here, say that with the
arms that have been smuggled into
Cuba during the last few weeks, and
which are landed near Matanzas and
other points and those already in posses
sion of the patriot forces, General Gomez
would be able to arm 8, 900 men at once
and many more within very short
time.
The plan Of campaign is more COM
plete than in any of the numerous revo-
lutions which have drenched Cuban soil
with blood
Call 1t BrigandAge.
MADRID, Feb. 27.-At the conclusion
Of the special meeting Of the cabinet, at
which the minister of colonies, Senior
Arabrusea, and General Lopez Doming-
uez, minister of war, announced that
the government had authorized the is
suance of proclamation by the gov
ernment general Of Cuba, in order to
suppress the armed bands of brigands
which have appeared in the provinces
of Matanzas and Puerto Principe, the
ministers mentioned said that If rigor-
GUS measures had been adopted in Cuba,
their sole object was to suppress brig
andage by giving full effect to the law.
The ministers denied that any serious
disorders had occurred, and they also
said that there was no truth in the re-
port that troops from the PHILIPPINE
islands had been landed in Cuba.
