the blne ink used on the ribbon,
and in trying to break small blister

slight pain in her face. This was
followed in short time by a slight
swelling. The pain then became al
most uncomfortable and her lip began
to turn black. Everything that med.
skill could dc WINS done but she got
rapidly worse and died in great
agony. The poisoned lip had ewon-

Disappeared In 1899.

There Is a story connected with the
man who was committed to the in
sane asylum last Monday under the
name of John Adams. When brought
to the hospital three or four months
ago, DR.. Hood by dint Of hard ques-
tioning, learned that his name was
John Adams and that his mother was
Mrs. Ashton who lived at Lafayette
Indiana, where a brother also resided.
The DR., wrote to Mrs. Ashton telling
her OF her sons condition and Stew
ard Abel wrote to the brother. DR..
Hoods letter was returned to him
and yesterday Mr.. Abel received
letter from the brother stating that
the letter written him over three
months ago had just been received
and that as soon as he learned
the particulars OF his brothers cond1.
ton he would come after him. The
letter states that the name Of the man
is Harry Fl. Ashton and that he mys-
teriously disappeared IN 1892 and
nothing had been heard from him
since until the receipt of Mr.. Abels
letter. At the time he disappeared
he had wife and ono child HIS
wife had tired Of waiting and had
got divorce and remarked. When
Ashton disappeared he was an agent
Of the Chicago, Cincinnati & st. Louis
railroad.
He impressed DR.. Hood as being
man OF more than ordinary ability,
but he now labors under the delusion
that everybody is trying to injure him
While he was not violent, his condi-
ton was such that the authorities
concluded that he would DO better
off in the asylum where he could
have proper care. The DR.. regrets
that the information in the letter re-
ceiyed by Mr.. Abel did not reach
him before the man was committed to
the asylum as in that case he would
have been kept here until his brother
arrived to take him to his home. His
relatives in Indiana will be fully in
formed OF his condition by DR.. Hood.

The Potato Sc0b.

newspaper Bulletin OF the Nevada
Agricultural Experiment Station:
In newspaper bulletin No. DC, is
sued from this department April 26,
1879, which treats of the nature of
potato scab, Prof. Balley's corrosive
sullmate treatment of seed potatoes
was stated. Desiring to make a per-
sonal test Of the remedy the writer
soon atterward treated a quantity Of
seed tubers according to the direc-
tons given in the bulletin cited. AS
the crop has been harvested, a state.
ment OF the condition of the expert
ment and the results are presented,
since they may be of some interest to
potato growers.
The ground on which the crop was
grown probably had never previously
borne potatoes, or other root crops,
certainly not within several years,
during which it has been in alfalfa.
Thus it is safe to assume that the
land was wholly free from the germs
OF potato scab, which is fungus dis
ease.
The alfalfa sod was broken the
present spring, the ground being
plowed deeply and heavily. MANFRED.
The seed potatoes we're of a late var
iety-the Burbank. Practically all
OF them were scabby, some of them
being completely covered with the
scabbed spots. In this respect it was
thought they offered typical material
for experimental work.
Before exposure to the corrosive
subhmate, the potatoes we're thor
oughly washed. each individual be-
ing scrubbed with an ordinary scrub
bing brush. Immediately following,
they were immersed in the corrosive
subhmate solution, where they re-
manned one and one-half hours, being
agitated two or three times to permit
uniform exposure. The solution was
OF the strength of two and one. fourth
ounces of corrosive subimate to fif-
teen gallons Of water. The powder
was first dissolved in a pint of boiling
water.
Immediately following the treat
ment, the potatoes were cut (nostly
IN two pieces each) and planted in
the manner usually followed in field
practice, slight trenches being first
formed to mark the rows. AS the
ground was very dry and lumpy, irri-
CATION water was allowed to run
through the trenches for few min
utes before planting.
Owing, seemingly, to the very wet
condition of the tuber when planted,
the wetting of the trenches and the
use OF water soon afterward, much of
the seed rotted In the ground. The
remainder yielded fair crop only, as
part of the seed of most of the pro-
ducing hill rotted.
The matured potatoes we're very
smooth skinned, and of six sacks but
three or four potatoes showing a
slight trace Of scab could be found
by two observers. These were from
hills planted with the most complete.
ly scabbed seed which had been isol-
ated from the rest for the purpose of
marking the effect of different de-
grees of scabbed seed upon the re-
sulting crop.

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1899-06-02
THE RIGHT STAND.

There never has been any ques-
ton here in Devils Lake as to how
the best sentiment in the COM
munity stood on the strict enforce
ment of all laws. That it is
strongly in favor Of enforcing the
prohibition law has been proven
by the men whom the city has
presented to fill offices Of high
honor and trust and whom the
state has honored. This city is
the home of Senator Hansbrough.
Everybody knows that he is an
able champion Of prohibition. It
is the home of the attorney general
of North Dakota-Hon. j. F.
Cowan-who has sworn to enforce
the laws, and who is doing his
duty to the fullest extent. It is
the home Of Judge D. E.. Morgan,
an upright, Christian gentleman
and able jurist. No man can
impugn the honesty Of these
gentlemen, and if their views on
this question we're not in accord
with the predominant sentiment in
Devils Lake they would not enjoy
the popularity that they do here
at home.
Devils Lake is not a lawless
town, as some of the state papers
would have the world believe.
True, the sentiment here, as in all
North Dakota cities is divided on
the prohibition question, but when
it comes to the matter of stamping
out lawlessness in any form there
is but one opinion-that it must
go.
Capt. E. E. Herman, the new
mayor Of Devils Lake, has in
structed his police officers to ferret
out ~lawlessness wherever it may
exist within the city limits and
vigorously prosecute the offenders.
In this firm stand the best and
overwhelming sentiment of the
community will strongly uphold
the mayor. He has taken the
right course, and those who know
him best are fully aware that he
cannot be swerved one iota from
the plain path Of duty. The blind
pigs have gone, and have gone to
stay.

e Steam Locomotive
Doomed?

Men who know say that in the
next ten years steam locomotives
will disappear and electric motors
will supplant them. They also
say that with the new motive
power trains will rush along at a
minimum speed Of 100 miles an
hour. This will prove a blessing
to those who wish to go quickly
from one point to another, but no
more so than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has proved a blessing to
those who wish to go quickly from
sickness to health. The Bitters
act at once upon stubborn cases Of
dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness
and liver complaint. They i'm
prove the appetite, quiet the
nerves, and induce sound, refresh
ing sleep. The trial of a bottle
will afford convincing proof. Sold
at all drug stores.

GOOD ROADS.

The people of Ramsey county
are progressive in many things,
they have good towns, good politi-
clans, good farmers, good hunting
and some good fortune. But they
haven't got good roads. Most Of
the time they use the same road
as the gopher, and when they try
to follow a beaten path they soon
find themselves following in the
wake Of a wild duck across some
mud bottomed "slew." As long
as the locality was only newly
peopled all this was well enough,
it could be laughed away. But
the time has come when it is a re-
proach to the people who permit
such a condition Of affairs to exist.
It has been said: Clothes don't
make the man, but they made him
presentable. So roads don't make
the country, but they improve it.
And drainage doesn't make the
country, but it makes the country
more valuable.
Some Of the conservatives have
been saying, the roads are too wet
this year to do the work on. 1t
reminds us of the man who had a
leaking roof on his house. When
it rained he couldn't fix it, when it
didn't rain he didn't need to fix it,
The way to get roads is to 90
ahead and build them, not wait
for a dry spring to build them
when it is wet, and wait for a wet
spring to make them necessary
when it is dry. The time to build
roads is always now; never next
year.
