MOTION DENIED.
Result of the Hearing for a New
Trial in the Patch
Case.

The famous Patch case was before
Judge Rose again Wednesday \on a
motion for new trial made
by the Northern Pacific rail-
road company, based on the af.i-
davits of Peter Nelson, juror, aud
David B. Wellman, late speaker of the
house of representatives. The aftidavlts
allege that j. T. Keime, one of the
Patch attorneys, had paid or offered the
juror, Nelson, $50 to influence his ver-
dict. On the suggestion to the court of
crooked work in obtaining these at1i-
davite, the court ordered Juror Nelson,
D. 3. Wellman, NJ f. Kepner and
Clerk of Court Mattson to appear be-
fore him today for the purpose of going
to the bottom of the alleged jury
tampering. Ball, Watson and Maclay
appeared for the railroad company, and
Gaspell &, Ellsworth for Patch. Peter
Nelson was sworn and denied his afii-
davit. While admitting that he signed
it, he claimed to have been instructed
by Wellman not to swear to it. He ex-
onerated Mr.. Keime and sWore that he
had not been approached. solicited,
brlbed or influenced in any manner by
him. or by any other person; he dis
claimed having any conversation with
Keime, and claimed that his affidavit
had been procured from him by fraud
and misrepresentation by Wellman and
Kepner, be not understanding the Eng
llsh language as written. Wellman and
Kepner were present during his examl-
nation, and at it's close M. Wellman
was given an opportunity to reattirm bis
affidavit bfore the court, which he re.
fused to do, and neither Wellman nor
Kepner offered any explanation or con-
tradlction OF the remarkable story OF
Peter Nelson. Thereupon the court
struck the at1idavits of Wellman and
Nelson from the record and denied the
motion for new trial. It is said Mrs
J. F. Keime has employed counsel and
will! bring an action for defamation OF
the character of her late husband against
Messrs. Wellman and Kepner and the
railroad company. 1t Is also said that d
charge of perjury will be preferred.

CREATING PREJUDICE
The following dispatch from Bismarck
in the Minneapolis Journal of yesterday,
is believed to be without any foundation,
and at the time 1t was filed for transmits
siou was certainly not true.
1t has leaked out that Asylum Trustee
Montague, of Dickinson, has been in
dlcted by the grand jury at jamestown,
although no bill has as yet beer re-
turned, and that the vote stood IL to , IN
favor of an Indictment.
Ex-Gov. Shortrldge returned home
this morning, having testified before the
grand jury yesterday. He says that it Is
conceded by both factions that Monta-
que has been indicted. He is charged
with participating in the benefits OF asy-
lum contracts while acting rs trustee OF
the institution. 1t was the general
opinion when the supreme court ousted
DR.. Archibald that the matter was
just commenced.
This conld not be correct statement
of the action of the grand jury because
Trustee Montague was before the grand
jury to be heard in bis own behalf. to-

the morning OF the 2Sth, furnished the
Journal correspondent with this intorma'
ton he had no personal knowledge,or was

claimed to have advance knowledge OF

Up to today 10 presentments had been
made to the court aud any information
purporting to come from he grand Jury,
relating to its action or vote on any N-
ticular matter, is surmise pure aud

HOT WATER TREATMENT.
How Smut in Wheat, Barley
and Oats Can Be Pre-
vented.

TO The jamestown Alert:
The literature of the different lang.
uages Is rich with little myths and
stories, illustrating to US how foolish il
Is not to be prepared to do the correct
thing properly at the right time.
Let me again remind you that Dow ls
the time to prepare to raise crop OF
wheat free from smut. A little prepara-
ton now will be much more effective
than "post mortem" talk over the crop
at threshing time.
HOW SMUT ATTACKS THE CROP.
Farmers often wonder why smut is
worse some years chan others. Smut IN
cereals is due to the growth of the mi
croscopic plant within the straw and
grain of the cultivated plant. 1t is
found by careful termination Of the
smut spores and wheat grains, and by
incubation of the former upon the lat
ter, that the smut plant cannot enter
the young wheat plant after the latter is
old enough to have fully developed the
first leaf. Thus anything which re-
tards the first growth of the wheat from
the seed will give the smut plant a bet
ter chance to enter.
Where to get the chemicals and spray
pump: Many letters have come asking
for information upon these points. For
copper sulphate and potassium sulphide
apply to your home druggist, or write to
either of these firms: Mallinckrodt
Chemical Works, 80 William street, ST..
Louis, No; Noyes Bros. & Cutler, St.
Paul, Mimi: Lyman N. Eliel Drug
Company, Minneapolis, MINI.
The cost, (about,) copper snlphate

phide. twenty cents per pound.
Ask your hardware man to procure
for you the Little Climax Spray Pump
No. /" Nixon Nozzle & Machine Co.,
Dayton, Ohio, or the Douglas Spray
Pump, Harrington Il Knight, Fargo,
North Dakota.
How to use the hot water treatment
upon large scale: I recommend the
hot water treatment above all treat
ments, for reasons too extended to give
here; but here are two: 1t always IN
creases the yield. 1t entirely prevents
oat smut, which chemicals cannot do.
because the spores are often inside the
husks, and copper sulphate Injuries oats.
Treatment: Have a large tank, as
large as threshing tank, full of water,
fire up your threshing engine, or other
steam making appliance. Attach q hose
to the boiler and run the steam into the
water until a temperature Of 135 degrees
Fahr. is attained. Place the grain in
partly filed sacks, or wire baskets, or
perforated pals, and immerse it in the
water five to eight minutes. Empty out
the grain and shovel it over for time.
It may be drilled at once. It dries
much more quickly than when dipped in
copper sulphate solution.
Caution: Have good thermometer.
Do not let the water ever have tenn.
perature of less than 1873 degrees, or one
of more than 14O degrees fahrenheit.
This is easy and rapid if you are busi-
ness like IN your work.

JOHNSON EXONERATED.

After weeks of heraldiEg in the press
that Halvor johnson, of LaMoure
county, was guilty of Offering his resig-
nation as asylum trustee for $500, the
grand jury has refused to believe such a
statement. This charge was sworn to
by B. w. Fuller and r. f. Wallace, be-
fore Examiner Langlie during the hos
pital investigation, aud an attempt to
verify the staten ment was made on the
witness stand by Warren, who is said
to be in the employ of Bailey Fuller.
Following this, pressure was brought
to bear on Gov. Alin to have grand
jury called for the purpose of indictlng
Mr.. johnson on this same charge and
thereby securing a trial and ultimate re-
moval as trustee.
The jury was duly called, the evidence
thoroughly sifted, the statements against
Mr.. johnson carefully considered, and
what is the result? The jury of Is men
refuse to believe the statements sworn
to against him, and he is vindicated
without a trial.
This is severe rebuke and just
criticism against those who brought the
unfounded accusations against an inno-
cent person.

ART LEAGUE SEASON OPENS.

The preliminary meetings of the XII
lohana Art League give promise that
the work OF this valuable organization
OF Honolulu leaders in art will be re-
sumed with considerable enthusiasm,
and that the usual exhibition Will
bring out the handiwork of some new
artists and show steady Improvement
among those whose paintings are well
known to the art approaching public.
Without rejecting upon the art circle,
it is hoped that the literary, dramatic
and musical circles of the League will
be heard from more prominently this
year than they have been in the past.
Being a small community. it is usually
one circle that does all the work,
whether in art, music or literature
The burdens usually fall upon those
who will go ahead and do the hard,
thankless drudgery and furnish ideas
for others to work upon. Now there is
no reason why the coming season
should not be an unusual one in which
all hands will take hold with a deter
mination to make the eaLgue the
broad gauge, influential institution it
was intended to be.
The leaders in the League have done
and may be depended upon to do their
part, and what will help the most will
be the hearty cooperation of the pub
lie. Foreign artists have had a well de-
served share of attention, and now the
people can afford to give little time
to the local artists. Then again,
should the League decide to have an
exhibition of amateur photography, the
young people ought to take an active
interest in it and stir up enthusiasm
for increased working membership. In
fact there are diverse and sundry new
departures that might prOftably be
made if the old, time honored eX-
hibitiOns are given the proper support
from the public.

THE CHURCH AND STATE IN
HUNGARY.

The political and religious circles Of
and possibly worried over a contest
between the Church and State, which
though simmering beneath the surface
for sometime, has just broken out into
a good healthy test of the power of the
Catholic Church and the liberal mind
ed people. The liberal policy of the
State regarding the control of schools,
also civil marriage, has incurred the
displeasure of the Catholic Church,
consequently the bishops and other
officers have declared political war
against the Liberal Government policy.
Among the orders that have gone forth
from the church are commands to es-
tabIish Catholic societies through the
land for teachers in colleges to show
especial zeal in teaching the youth the
doctrines of the church; bishops are to
insist on the right of selecting text
books; they are to use every power to
place the University of Pest under
Catholic control; lectures on the church
are to be deliverd every Sunday before
the academic youth, in which special
attention is to be given the doctrines
of the church; false ideas concerning
patriotism to be corrected in harmony
with the teachings of the church, and
finally Catholic papers are to be print
ed and spread broadcast throughout
the country.
The above program of the Catholic
campaign given by the Vienna Water
land gives some idea of the strength
and excellent organizations of the reli-
gious forces in the struggle to quietly
gain control of the reins of State.
Another point worth noticing is the
strenuous efforts to educate the youth
and gain control over the books used
i'm their institutions. In every struggle
eral leaders in nine cases out of ten
fail in protecting the youth Of the
country and intoxicating principles of
liberality in the youthful mind. On
the other hand the church can see far
enough ahead to realize that if it gets
control of youthful opinions. compare
lively few years will pass before it has
control of the State. The church goes
on the principle of the Yankee who said

The San Francisco Board of Health
recently received communication
from the superintendent of the San
Francisco & San Mateo Railway Com
pany, suggesting the advisability of
prohibiting people from expectorating
in street cars. He stated, that such a
law was enforced in some OF the large
Eastern cities, and that there was ne
cessity for it's enactment in the West.
The Board adopted a resolution re-
questing the attorney of the Health
Department to prepare for the con-
sideration of the Supervisors an or
dinance prohibiting eXpectoration on
the sidewalks or in buildings or in any
public cOnveyances. and requiring that
buildings and conveyances be prOvid-
