Langdon doctors report quite an
epidemic of whooping cough and scarlet
fever prevalent in the city at the present
time.
Bad prairie fires may be looked fol
this summer and fire breaks should be
plowed early to properly protect hay
and grazing lands.
Farmers maintain that if we get q
heavy soaking rain within week we
may still expect to get considerably
better than half a crop.
The institute not having adjourned

Cultivators OF trees figure it has cost
about as much as the first price OF their
trees to keep them alive and healthy
during the drouth of the present season.
The enforcement league have taken an
appeal from Judge Fisk's recent decision
in the cases against the Langdon drug
gists and further action on their part
will depend on what the supreme court
has to say.
The setting off in the city limits o.

authorities on the Fourth. The safety
OF both lite and property is the motive
OF the city in the matter.
Farmers in the immediate vicinity OF
Langdon have reason to congratulate
themselves on the crop outlook. In
many sections Of the state the droutl'
is still practically unbroken, and if the
rain should come at once it would not
repair only portion of the damage
done. In this neighborhood the wheat
looks excellent, and other crops give
promise OF good harvests. The advance
in the price OF wheat is encouraging.

Except in Maryland, and perhaps

that public duty to make and enforce
adequate laws for the prevention and
abatement of nuisances injurious to the
health, property or person Of the citi-

not be enforced against the will of the

exists and has occasioned an injury to

Doration liable therefor, provided the
nuisance was not created or maintain
