day evening, it being her birthday. Soon
after eight "spooks' began to arrive and
soon the spacious attic-which made an
ideal DANCE hall-was full of them.
About ten DISCUSSES we're discarded

sumed until eleven when refreshments
were served in the parlors. Songs, re-
citations, etc. followed and it was the
witching hour of midnight when the
guests babe their hostess goodnight.

State Funds.
Amounts Due in the Five Suspended Banks.

In reply to numerous inquiries con-
corning the state funds tied up in sus-
pended banks, the Wahpeton Globe
publishes the following explanation,
which places the matter in a new and,
undoubtedly, its true light:
These banks suspended during the
disastrous period brought about by
Encouragement. The state was sup
posed to be protected by bonds, signed
by men who could pay. 1t was found,
however, that the bondsmen were as
poor as the banks, their assets having
been put in such condition by the fl
"nancial maelstrom that to attempt to
realize upon the bonds would be to In
volve all parties In inextricable financial
muddles. Men who were good fnan-
cially when they signed the bonds, had
become involved, and suits to force them
to pay would have been expensive and
fruitless. When the business Of the
country was put upon a better basis, the
management of the banks. then in the
hands of receivers, commenced to real
ize upon the securities, and every little
while dividends were declared, until at
this time, more than fifty per cent of the
entire amount in the five suspended
banks has been paid the state. 1t is
quite likely that the Citizens National
of Fargo and the First National of Penn
bina will pay out entirely, while the
Grand Forks National may pay 50 per
cent. The Second National of Grand
Forks has already paid more than 50 per
cent and will pay more. The Minot
bank is a case where little will be paid
by the receiver and nothing can be cai.
lected from the bondsmen.
Deputy State Treasurer Cook furnish
es the Globe with the following state
ment which shows the amounts that were
in the state repositories at the time of
their suspension, and the amounts that
are due:

Hes within Wichita township and for sew
eral years past has been assessed at an
average Of about 80 per acre. while land
adjoining it which is plated has been
valued at 800 per acre
There is no very great difference in the
value Of the land, only one tract was
within the corporation and the other was
not. The attention of the commission
ers was attracted by the fact that the
owners Of unimproved city property were
always anxious TO get 1t vacated and for
that reason the matter vas investigated
On the larger part Of the property the
valuation was just about doubled, while
on some the per cent Of raise was higher.
The way in which the property has been
assessed for the past few years is very
unfair. The law says that real property
should be assessed at aboT one-tnird of
its actual value. Besides doing this the
commissioners raised the valuation on
live stock in about half of the townships.
while the entire assessment in Minneha
township was cut down.
The commissioners say that they4 are
very much disguised with the present
method Of making the tax assessment.
Mr.. Howard is in favor Of county as
SCISSOR who shall have charge Of the en-
tire work and this viii prevent many of
the inequalities which exist under the
present system. He thinks that this Of
hciai should be elected for a term Of
several years, as he thinks that there
are so many questions that he would
have to decide that he could not get well
started in less than two years. The
county assessor would have as many
deputies under him as there are now as
SCISSORS. but the entire business would be
brought under one nead and the system
be greatly improved.

THE GRIP IS HERE:
A Simple Course of Treatment Pre-
scribed for It's Cure.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
This is the beginning of the season, which
will last for at least six months, when
colds, catarrhal fevers, influenzas or grip
Will abound. At this time when one has
been feeling uniformly in a most excellent
condition, there may suddenly appear a
feeling Of lassitude, followed by a decided
chill or chilliness. a sudden and rapid rise
of temperature, quick, tense pulse, moder-
ately dry skin, great thirst, coated tongue
constipated bowels, an unpleasant taste in
the mouth and general evidence of checked
or perverted secretions
A not infrequent symptom will be gem
eral aching in all the muscles, joints and
bones, suggesting the old fashioned break
bone fever. This group Of symptoms may
be the explanation of only a cold" as it
! is frequently expressed or 1t may be the
announcement of well-defined attack Of
grip, which now is well known to every
| body. 1t may lie interesting to recall that
| the grip, or oldtime Influenza" is due to a
specific poison, the bacillus of Pfeiffer
which. while it is asserted by some to be
| uninfluenced by soil, climate, season or at
mospheric changes, yet these conditions do
materially affect the individual as related
to susceptibility.

THE TIME-HoNORED BUCKwHEAT.


RAISING OF the FHvOrite Cake by Rea-
son OF Aduiterated Flour.
The tme-honored and historic buck
wheat cake Is not what 1t used to be, and
each year the demand for the cake of our
daddies is growing less" said the manager
Of one of Washington's busy lunch rooms.
Most of the orders we receive for cakes
are for wheat cakes. Once upon a time 1t
was the buckWheat cake that had the call
ten to one. Now the expressive order of
one up means three circular. layers of
wheat batter on the griddle If the batter
is to come out of the buckwheat pitcher
it's one buckwheat.'
And it's going out of family use, too,
very extensively. Why? Because of the
discovery by INSCRIPTIONS millers that
bran ana the by-products of the mill,
which are practically commercially worth
less as compared with the genuine flour
make good filler and are rapid money
makers to the dealers who practice the de-
ceDtiOn.
Inc result is that there is comparatively
little genuine buckwheat flour sold; that is
absolutely pure. because lit is so very easy
to adulterate without detection. The pub
nc, however, after years of submission,
FOUND mat there was something wrong
with It's buckwheat cakes as to the taste
and, once the discovery was made, the
flour was gradually discarded as a product
of regular use. The demand falling off,
t>sooNiiCd
increased his proportion or bran and the
man VINO used to eat ten buckwheat cakes
every morning for breakfast spread his ma
pie syrup upon the baked surface of some
other kind of flour.
My observations ON the yadulteration of
buckwheat Hour are called up by reason of
| the fight The Star has made in Washing
ton for pure foods and breadstuffs. The
public in paying full price demanded by
producers, Is entitled to- purchase precise
ly what 1t asks for. or course. all deal
ers are not dishonest, but in the case in
point II one miller in ten adulterates his
| flour all Of his patrons are the sufferers.
1t Is but equitable that stringent laws
be passed for the preservation of the purity
| of what we eat, and these acts should be
as strictly enforced and the guilty made
to make amends. There was time when
| nearly every farmer had his patch of buck
| wheat, but one rarely sees now fields of
the beautiful white blossoms which this
wheat produces when in flower. Pure buck
wheat flour made into cakes has peculiar
and attractive flavor, which Is destroyed
by the addition OF cheap, non-nutritive,
