Scientific investigations In regard to
the health of those engaged In the vari-
GUS Industrial occupations, have re
suited In definite regulations, public
and private, which are OF benefit TO
the community as well as to the indi-
vidual. fhe fact is proved, beyond any
doubt, that sedentary occupations In
ventilated apartments and those
which expose the workmen to the In
halation of dust should be especially
avoided. The different sorts OF dust
vary, too, In their harmful effects;
thus the sharp dust produced in the
grinding of needles and Steel tools and
In the mining of metals ~ particularly
Irritating, and the mortality from con
sumption among operatives In such In
dustries Is high, but operatives thus
engaged may diminish the liability by
wearing "respirators" over the mouth
and nose while at work. In number
of factories in Massachusetts and pre-
sumably elsewhere, In which consump-
tion has made serious inroads upon the
oneratiyes, the adoption of measures
for the prevention VI uuSy h'hos
phere has secured n marked diminu-
| ton Of the prevalence of this disease
among those employed In them. The
fact also appears that owners and su-
perintendents of mills factories and
workshops can accomplish much to-
ward the prevention of tuberculosis
among those whom they employ by the
introduction of adequate systems of
ventilation and heating, and by the use
of hard and smooth floors without
cracks or crevices.

Asking Too Much.

A writer on sheep says that 1t is ask
ing too much for eve to make her
growth and shear the heaviest or next
heaviest fleece Of her life and raise
lamb in one year. 1t cannot be done
without checking the growth Of the
sneep and producing lamb lacking In
constitution. Continuing In that line
for several years the flock master Will
have a very uneven flock, and constitu-
tion will be bred out of them.

The surest way to kill any kind OF
tree is to pile heap Of stones around
1t. The reason appears to be that the
stones obstruct light and act as a mulch
to the soil, causing the tree roots to feed
near the surface. But the stones are
no obstruction to frost, so that the SOIL
under them Is usually deeply frozen,
and the roots being incased In frozen
soil cannot supply sap to the tree, as all
roots should do to some extent even In
winter

Buying Cheap Fertilizers.

1t is the natural tendency of farmers
when confronted with low prices Of
products to save themselves by the
purchase of cheaper fertilizers, or by
dispensing with any boughten fertili-
yer. But this is nearly always a mis-
take. The cost of the fertilizer is only
a small part of the cost Of making a
crop. Labor is much more expensive
item, and If the soil be not rich enough,
much of this labor will be Ineffective.
As for using poorer grades Of fertll-
izers. they cost as much to apply them
as the best. In fact, the more expen-
siye grades of fertilizers are usually in
finer condition, and can be easily made
to cover larger surface and do more
good to the first crop.

other, and not resting against the
sides of the barrel. Add another thick
layer of salt, and then of eggs, and so
on until the barrel Is full.-Massach

A plan for connecting South and
West Australia by railroad is under
consideration. The distance between
the ends of the railroad system Is only
553 miles, but the country to be trav-
ersed is an arid dessert. and reservoirs
must be built at 25-mile intervals along
the whole line. The cost will be about

Or course the demonstration against
the Spanish coast cities by the American
navy does not contemplate an actual
invasion, or ever a formal occupation of
any port. For either of these purposes
a large army would be necessary, and no
army will be sent. Much damage can
be done to Spain physically and morally
without landing a single American
soldier in the peninsula. The squadron
which report says is to be sent over can
probably batter down the d~efenses OF
half a dozen of the principal ports Of
Spain, and lombard the cities. The
smashing of the Identification at even one
port would be a serious blow to Spain'f
prestige, and would be likely to raise such
a popular storm against the authorities
as would upset the dynasty.

WHEN Dewey destroyed the Spanish
feet at Manila without the loss of
man, it was said by foreign nations, who
did not care to give the American navy
credit for the efficiency it had proven,
that it was an accidental victory. When
the victory at Santiago, where four OF
the finest armored cruisers in the world
were destroyed with the loss of but one
man, is added to this, it will be interest.
ing to see the expressions of opinion
throughout the world. AS a matter OF
fact it demonstrates one thing beyond
cavil and that is that the American
fire is so accurate, Sc rapid and so de-
structive that the enemy cannot fight
against it. At Santiago the Spanish
ships were riddled and aflame in half a
dozen places before the Spanish were
able to find the range of the American
vessels. This is the secret of the
wonderful victory of the Americans.

The swift cruisers of the American
steamship line that were impressed into
service are giving a good account of
themselves. The big Yale left Fort
Monroe Thursday week with 1900 infan-
try on board bound for Santiago. They
arrived at their destination on Monday,
and were Immediately disembarked
within a few miles of Gen. Skaters ad-
vanced line. In less than four days a
single ship, protected by her own guns,
steamed from Virginia to Eastern Cuba
carrying one.tenth as many troops
as went forward in the great
expedition from Tampa, which required
nearly three weeks for loading. The
armada of transports and fighting craft
comprised about sixty ships. Single
handed the Yale accomplished one-tenth
as much as the big feet in one-fifth the
time. The Harvard carried 1000 troops
from the same place Sunday and was
expected to arrive yesterday. The St.
Paul has been one of the;most valuable
scouting vessels Of the government, and
recently worsted the boosted Spanish
torpedo destroyer Terror in an encounter,
while the st. Louis has been one of the
most effective cable cutters along the
coast of Cuba.

The Spanish warships bottled up in
the harbor at Santiago have been in
formally survey and a value placed upon
them, which will be added to the in
demnity demanded of Spain as a condi-
ton of peace should Admiral Cervera
destroy them to prevent their capture
by the American forces. The squadron
is estimated to be worth about S12 ,OOO,.
600. Ships captured at anchor in har-
bors are legitimate prizes Of war, like
those taken in naval engagements at
sea. While it is not unusual to destroy
warshnps and Notifications when their
capture by the enemy is inevitable, and
while Cervera has the recent example
of the Spanish admiral at Manila to
guide him, the American government is
determined that Spain shall gain moth.
ing should it's pride dictate the destruc.
ton of the beleaguered feet. The dis.
position of the squadron, if captured
will remain a question to be settled
when a treaty of peace is being consid.
cred. Its status will be practically the
same as that of captured territory. II
would be proper for the United States
to retain the ships as additions to GU,
navy or return them to Spain for a con.
sideration.

expedition upon which they go. Never
before in the history Of this country has
an army been sent such a distance and
into a country so dissimilar in every
respect. With the North Dakota boys,
it is a trip from a temperate region, in
the matter of temperature, to the
tropics, from the land of billiards. to
that of typhoons and earthquakes, of
equatorial heat and tropical character
istics. Notwithstanding this diametric
change of conditions, the intelligence,
shrewdness and wisdom of the North
Dakotans will carry them safely through
many a danger and make them a valu-
able part of the army of occupation.
What will be the nature of their services
no one can tell. Manila may have fallen
before their arrival and their work may
be limited to ordinary garrison duty.
Or, it may be their portion to take part
in the capture of the doomed city. But
whatever they may be called upon to do,
it is the firm belief of those who know
the men and the metal of which they
are made that they will never be
found wanting and will be foremost in
the upholding of the honor of the stars
and stripes, whether waving at home or
in the Philippines. May the members
of the regiment have a pleasant trip and
a safe passage to their destination.

STAMP taxes are something with which
the present generation of Americans
have had little to do and the law that
goes into effect today will be a novel one
for many Americans. It is not so much
the taxes that have to be paid under the
law as the necessity for stamping every.
thing that will make the law an incon'
venience: Still, once the people become
accustomed to the stamping of the
various articles designated and the
operation of the law will not be a greai
inconvenience.

The sudden growth of the United
States navy, owing to the war, is etrik-
ingly shown by the new naval register
which has been prepared in the naviga-
ton bureau and is to be issued on July
/. According to the register the active
list of the navy now has a grand total of
1,755 officers. On the list of ships of
the regular navy are II first class, 1s
second class, 43 third class, 6 fourth
class, IS torpedo boats, building and
authorized; - tugs, 6 sailing vessels, :
receiving ships, - unserviceable vessels,
and 50 vessels of all rates other than
torpedo boats are under construction OF

Daylight Robbery.

While Thos. O'Shaughnessy was at
supper Saturday night, two cool robbers
kicked in the back door, entered his
store and helped themselves to about
$50 worth of cutlery, furnishings and
other sundries. The front curtains of
the store were raised, and it was posi-
bic to see through the store from the
other side of the street but the robbers
made their raid unmolested and escaped
with their plumber.
They had evidently waited for the
proprietor to go and then effected an
entrance. They tried the safe, but
threw off the combination in fumbling
with it, and they also tried to open the
cash register, which opens with a lever.
but failed to find it. The receipts for
the day were in the register but they
missed them.
Two little girls who were passing the
store claim to have seen two men therein.
one of whom was dressed in black and
the other in gray but it is not known
whether the men can be identified.

war began, on April %, by the Nash
ville's capture of the Buena Ventura.
Since then the United States forces
have completely destroyed one Spanish
fleet in waters thousands of miles from
home, and the conquest of an enormous
ly rich group of islands is virtually &C
complished. From an effective force of
less than 10000 men the army has
been increased to more than 100000,
and the new troops are being rapidly
transformed into one of the most effec-
tive fighting organizations in the world.
The navy, which, speaking mildly, was
not we'll prepared for war, being almost
absolutely without ammunition, has
been brought to a state of the highest
efficiency. An invading army of several
thousand men, conveyed by a fleet of
more than sixty transports, has made a
foothold for itself on the enemy's soil.
The second of the enemy's fleets has
been bottled up in one of it's own
ports so securely that it has been able
to contribute nothing at all to SPANS
effective fighting, even though the Mer.
rimac may not, as hoped, entirely block
the mouth of Santiago's harbor. In all
the engagements so far the United
States has not lost thirty men by reason
of the enemy's fire, while Spain's losses
at Manila, Guantanamo, San Juan, and
elsewhere must aggregate at least 1000
men, and perhaps more.

SOME or the old line democrats, and
even Cleveland himself, seem to lean to
a belief in the possibility of a new align
ment of forces in the next campaign, in
which Cleveland shall be the leader of a
party having for it's platform opposition
to territorial annexation. This would
be a curious reversal of the attitude of
the democratic party in the past, for
throughout all it's history it has leaned
strongly toward territorial acquisition.
It has always gloried in the acquisition
of Louisiana territory by jefferson, in
1903, more than doubling the original
area of the United States, and of the
Florida territory by Madison, under
acts passed in secret session in 1911.
For many years it boasted that the &C.
QUESTION of Texas was its work, in spite
of bitter opposition Thy it's adversaries,
Calhoun being Secretary of state in 1916.
The war with Mexico was, in fact, earn
estly opposed by many in the east, and
the democratic party Wanted itself
much as if the victory had been achiev-
ed by democrats only, resulting in the
Mexican cession of lS4S. when Polk was
president. The Alaska purchase by
Secretary Seward is the only addition to
the territory Of the United States for
which the democratic pariy has not
claimed exclusive credit, aud it is at
least true that with great unanimity
and zeal it favored all other steps of
that nature.

The Spanish are raising hob with the
American navy in their telegraphic
reports. They have already killed the
captains of the Texas and the Iowa and
now they report the cruiser Brooklyn
sunk. A prominent Spanish paper a
few days after the sinking of the collier
Merrimac had an elaborate picture of
half a dozen mighty Spanish vessels
pouring a hail of shot and shell into an
American cruiser, which was burning
and sinking and the effort was labeled
"battle of the Merrimac." This is the
way the news is served out in Spain.

Green in a Mix-Up.

Seattle Times: A one-act drama, in
which the participants acted in earnest
and under lock and key, held the boards
in a coy apartment on the fourth floor
of a Seattle hotel during the early hours
this morning.
The play was drawn to an abrupt con-
clusion at the end of the first act and
wound up rather disastropsly to George
j. Rennick, who was an unwilling actor
in the scene from the beginning. The
cast of characters to the drama were:
George j. Rennick, sThe Copper River
King"
H. D. Hall, "Member of the Duluth
Board of trade"
J.. S. Green, estate Senator of North
Dakota"
There were no spectators to the show,
and with the exception of the principal
actors no n saw it. 1t occurred in the
room of MIR. Green, who arranged the
affair for the express purpose of secur-
ing a meeting with Rennick, whom Green
alleges made false representations in re-
gard to an Alaska mining deal in which
Green is interested. MIR. Green claims
that while he was in Alaska attending
to business connected with his company,
Rennick was in Seattle falsely repre-
sentling himself as his Green's) part
ner, and selling bogus stock, which he
alleged was secured by Green's mines.
Mr.. Green states that when he re-
turned from Alaska a few days ago he
was very much put out. He %endeavored
to arrange a meeting with Rennick, but
his efforts were unsuccessful.
Last evening Mr.. H. D. Hall, an old
friend of Mr.. Green's, arrived in the
city, and together they concocted a
scheme whereby the meeting was ar
ranged.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Hall, being un-
known to Rennick, would approach the
latter as a prospective purchaser Of min
ing stock. Last evening Mr.. Hall, armed
with a letter of introduction from Green,
introduced himself. After a short dis.
cussion something came up which the
men agreed to refer to Green, SO they
called at the latter's room IN the hotel.
Green was waiting for them and ush.
cred them into his room, closed the door
and locked it. Then he accused Rem
nick OF swindling and falsely misrepre.
sentlng his company. Rennick called
Green a liar and a fistic encounter re.
suited, in which Rennick is reported to
have got decidedly the worst of it. 4
Mr.. Green says he told Rennick that
ne would give him until - o'clock today
to leave town or he would prosecute
