Fargo to Have What Bids Fair to BE
n Notable Convention.
Fargo, n. D.-The interstate grain
growers convention in Fargo. in
March, was such Il success that steps
are being taken to have a stock raisers'
convention here the list of July, along
| the same lines. Mayor Johnson has
been to st. Paul and Minneapolis and
interviewed the railroad officials. They
ern Pacific will grant this rate as far
west as Miles City, the Great Northern
to Chinook and the 500 70 Portal, the
only condition being that there must
be 100 passengers over each road for
the convention. 1t is thought this num-
Der will be easily secured. and the con-
vention will be held at time when it
will be possible for all to come. The
stock raisers of both Dakotas, Mon
all promies a one-fare rate. The North
tana and Minnesota are invited. 1t is
proposed to have the small growers us
we'll as the ranchmen represented i'll
the meeting. Farmers who raise few
cattle while growing wheat, will be in
attendance and give their experiences.
That class of farmers in Northern Min
nesota is very much interested. and let
ters from that section indicate a large
attendance. 10 add to the interest of
the meeting, Secretary of Agriculture
| Wilson writes that he will come here
from Washington to attend the meet
ing. He is very popular in the North
west. President Hill, of the Great
Northern, sent word that he would re-
turn from his European trip by that
time and would address the convcn
| ton.

A new product, known as dewitt
fed glass''-broken glass brought to
desired molecular condition by spe-
cial process of heating-has MADE us
appearance in France. according to the
report of the United States consul at
Lyons. 1t possesses all the properties
of glass except its transparency, ana
it can be made to assume any torm'
from paving blocks to the most
artistic designs, and to resent bic
any variety of stone useo as
constructive material. In the form
of variegated blocks, it has been
tried in paving one of the main thor
oughfares of Lyons. The test has oeen
satisfactory. The glass is more dura-
BILE than stone, is as cheap, and Is less
liable to gather and retain dirt. Aren't
tects are already suggesting its use as
material for house-building, and thus
the ancient saw which inculcates the
injudiciousness of stone throwing by
people who live in glass houses may,
ere long, find a basis in substantial
fact, in place of what has heretofore
been purely rhetorical admon1tlon.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
TRAGEDY ON THE PLAINS.
Two Brothers in Emmons County, N.
A1Y8ul neafh

Two Brothers in EmmOns County, N.
D., Meet an Awful Death.
Steele. n. D.-News has reached here
of another tragedy in Emmons county,
as the result of which two we'll known
settlers are dead, one by suicide and
the other by murder or manslaughter.
The real situation leading to the trag-
edy can only be surmised. The broth
ers, James and Joseph Colwell, have
for several years lived alone on their
places, some fifteen miles east of the
Missouri, in Emmons county, about
opposite Fort Yates. n day or two ago
James came to the river and sought
quarters at the home Of friend. The
recent flood had caused a removal of
the family, but he went to another
place, further back OH higher land, and
there took shelter, complaining of be-
ing sick. He grew worse rapidly, and,
finally, after stating that he had drunk
carbalic acid before leaving home, died
with great suffering.
A messenger was at once dispatched
to notify his brother, but when the
place was reached, what was the hor-
ror and amazement to find Joseph dead
in the house. with his bawels protrud-
ing, and all the signs Of having been
shot to death by a shotgun aimed at
his abdomen.
Nothing had been said by James of
quarrel, so far as can be learned. The
place is not near anyone's residence,
and is over fifty miles from here. 1t Is
said by parties here who know the
brothers that the suicide was man OF
surly temper. He was quite deal, and
Of suspicious disposition. When peo-
pie would be speaking together in his
presence, he, not being able to hear,
was inclined to suspect that he was
The subject Of their conversation. Both
brothers were middle-aged and single.
II was thought strange that they were
living together, as it is said they did
not get on we'll. and had lived separ-
ately heretofore. Both have hauled
grain to this market and are quite we'll
known. Joseph is said to have been
rather better liked than James, as he
was more sociable.

Public Opinion, quoting La Nature
as authority, states, as the result OF
scientific investigation, that hay which
for any cause has been incompletely
dried before being put into the barn,
is exposed to danger from spontaneous
combustion. The microbes which e1-
list in all vegetable matter increase
enormously in hay which retains mols-
ture under the conditions mentioned.
By them intense heat is generated and
localized. Experiments have proved
that their presence and activity, under
favorable conditions, have caused a
rise of 800 degrees in the temperature
surrounding them. In the heated
depths the hay becomes carbonlzed,
and smolders slowly until the mass is
opened, OF partially opened. Then the
action of the outer air invites instant
confagration.
