Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried

In a n%onchalant way. The Yankee was

COURT IN $500 BONDS TODAY.
J. H. Carver and wife were today
held by Justice Tibbils in $500 bonds
for trial in the district court on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. They are the couple who
were arrested for obtaining magazine
subscriptions and throwing in valu-
able silks. When the case was called
this morning they offered no further
defense and Justice Tibbils held them
for trial. 1t is probable they will act
upon the plan that the best way out
of a bad mess is to admit their wrong
and ask for the lightest sentence pos
sible. The other persons who were
concerned in the swindle have not been
a~pprehended. In default of bail Car
YER and his wife will be the guests of
Sheriff Bogue for some time, awaiting
the session of the district court.
The Butterick Pattern company have
been assisting the officials with the
prosecution of the case. They offer
500 reward for the conviction of any
swindlers so that the reward in this
case will probably go to Sheriff Bogue.

FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

FAIAL SHOOllNG
Cando Herald: On last Friday one
of the most sad events in the history
NORTH DAKOTA PATENT.
Owing to North Dakota's limited
naval facilities it would hardly be ex-
pected that inventions of a maritime
character would be evolved there. But
Arthur Donaldson of Dunseith, N. D.,
through Williamson & Merchant, has
just taken out a patent for armor plate
that strikes naval men with favor.
During the Spanish-American war Mr..
Donaldson had his attention drawn to
the question of armor plate and began
to study the physical principles under
lying the penetrability of metals with
the result that he hit upon an ingen-
ious invention. The plate he has in
vented consists of several alternate
layers of steel and an elastic material.
The steel plates are the toughest kind
known to mechanics and the elastic
material may be made of several kinds
of material, but a composition Of which
rubber is the principal ingredient is
preferred. The plates are held to-
gether with an ingenious continuance
of bolts which constitute a part of the
patent.

to any peace officer" and while MI.
Bogue was given the preference he
doesn't take kindly to the methods
used and says that having always done
his duty in the past no committing
magistrate ought to doubt him now.
But these matters are details that
do not necessarily interest the COM
munity-except in so far as they indi-
cate a new order of things. Of course
there is to be no partiality shown.
Gambling is under the ban and must
go whether the paraphernalia belongs
to the mayor or to Sanderson, Berry
Or anyone else. The legislature must

tions must be reduced to the minimum.

GENERAL WASHBURN AND PARTY
INSPECT THE MINES THERE
AND RETURN LAST NIGHT.
General Washburn and party re-
turned last night from Wilton and left
o nthe night train for the east. 1t
was four months ago yesterday that
the ground was broken for the shaft
to the coal mine, and now there are
several tunnels three to four hundred
feet long seventy feet under the
ground, from which coal is being taken
at the rate of 200 tons a day. Elec-
trlcal mining machinery has been in
stalled. The mine is lighted through
out with electricity and o a trolley
system will be put in to handle the
coal cars underground. At present
the coal is drawn out with cables along
an inclined shaft and automatically
dumped into the cars. The progress
that has been made in mining at Will
ton is remarkable and those who have
not seen for themselves will not appre-
ciate the magnitude Of the enter prise
under way there. Th. nine is oper-
ated after the fashion of the big east
ern anthracite mines. Everything is
modern. 1t is expected by the middle
of January to double the output of the
| mine and even this will not Slpnlv the
increasing demand. If the mine
turned out a thousand tons a day, all
could be disposed of readily. General
Washburn was much pleased with the
progress that has been made and ex-
poets to have a winner, both of mine
and railroad.

POTATO LEAF EATEN BY LEA BEETLES.
made OF the arsenites. ualsted has
found that the bordeaux mixture alone
may more effectively protect plants
against this beetle than does the poi
soning with paris green. This is Of
course attributable to it's action as Il
deterrent. The bordeaux paris green
mixture is more effective than is paris
green alone.
Flea beetles frequently cause more
loss to the potato than do the potato
beetles. This is largely because their
attacks are most severe at or soon aft
er the critical period in the develop
ment Of the potato. When badly eaten
Mt this time, especially If the weather
Is dry, the plant never %recovers. Ar
senical poisons alone do not afford ade-
Quate protection. The combination Of
arsenites with bordeaux mixture does
serve to keep off these pests. Expe-
rience has also shown that bordeaux
mixture alone is sufficient protection
in practice.
1t is necessary to make several appli-
cations of arsenical poisons to the po-
tato plant during June and July in or
der to give protection against the pota-
to beetle. The commercial prepare
lions used, paris green, london purple,
etc., are largely insoluble. A small
per cent Of soluble a%rsenious acid is
always present, however. This poison
rarely p%enetrates the u%ninjured cpl
dermis to do harm, but serious damage
often results when it m in contact
with mutilated tissues, such as insect
injuries, rents in the leaf, etc. The
tissue die and blacken for some dis
lance about such spots.
The full benefits from a%rsenical poi
son can be obtained with lighter ap-
made and such as will cause little or
no injury (e. g., 1 pound in 100 to 200
gallons water). The slight remaining
danger is eliminated when lime is add
ed to the arsenite or when, as is pref
cradle, the arsenite is applied in bor-
deaux mixture. In such cases the solu-
BILE arsenious acid is made insoluble by
the lime and SO rendered harmless.
"Tip burn" is characterized by the
death of the potato leaves at their tips
and margins, which portions dry,
blacken and roll up or break off. This
trouble ccurs during the dry hot
weather of midsummer. Tip burn Is
not caused by parasitic fungi. 1t is at
tributed to unfavorable weather condi-
lions surrounding the plant, with in
sufficient water supply. AS proven
ton, efforts should be made to sustain
the general. vigor Of the plants. The
only thing that can be done in addi-
ton is to irrigate in times Of extreme
drought. Irrigation Of potatoes is rare
~ practiced in the eastern United
