rector of the national board of health at Buenos Ayres. according to Ger man papers, has found remedy for mosquito bites. He states that he discovered it by accident during his trip to Paraguay to study the pest. He had been supplied with all sorts of remedies, among them 'naptha- lene,' an article of no value what ever against the pest; but on using it for mosquito bites he found it of surprising effect. It neutralizes the poison, even when the spot bitten Is greatly indamed. If fresh bites are rubbed with napthalene nc swelling follows. The professor considers napthalene almost a sure specific against mosquito poison.

MAC t,iNISTS STRIKE.
About 5ooeo Quit CT Een1afe! for Re
 duction of f,curs.

Approximately 50noo machinists throughout the country have struck for a nine-hour day. a scale of wages equal to the present ten-honr per day scale. and other demands This is the rough estimate of President OConnell, of the National Associa- tion of Machinists. based on the tele- graphic advices that have req ched him from the machinists' headquar ters in the various cities.
 MT. OConnell said that reports had shown that 904 firms. employing ap- proximatelv 30000 men, had signed the agreements of the nine-hour day or made satisfactory arrangements with the local organizations.
 The strike thus far has not extend ed to the allied trades. save in one or two instances. as at Scranton Pa. where men in part of the allied trades are out. Machinists engaged |in government work are not affected. 1 Ills is due to the fact that on such "ofh ah eight-hour a day scale al ready prevails Railroad machinists. as a rule, are not involved in the stl1'a though the men on several roads are Out

Suits BROUGHT,

George S. Montgomery re-
ceiver ofthe Red River Valley
Mutual Hail Insurance Co.. has
sued about twenty different
delinquent members to recover
the assessment Levied by that
Co. for 1899. Suits against a
a dozen prominent farmers in
Stutsman and Griggs counties
were tried March 9th, before
Judge Dow. A. T. Cole of Far
go appeared for the Griggs Co.
men and Thorp & Thorp of
Jamestown appeared for the
Stutsman Co. men. Judge
ments in each case fo, the full
amount claimed were rendered
in favor of the receiver. He
proposes to sue every mem Der
who is financially good, and
most of them are good, in
Wahpeton and try all the
cases on their merits. 1t will be
an expensiv lexury for the
members of the company as
there seems to be no way to
avoid liability. The receiver
is simply acting as an officer
for the district court and obey
ing it's orders and doing his
duty. 1t was supposed that
these suits would have to be
brought in the different coun-
ties where the members live,
but it seems that the law pro-
vides that where an obligation
is payable at certain place,
suits may be brought in the
county where that place is
located. These assessments
were payable at Wahpeton, so
the suits can all be bought in
this county. The receiver ex.
poets to collect enough in this
way to pay a dividend on the
losses of the company for 1899.

up, and is not yet through with
improvements. The building
is as clean as a pin from start
to finish. He put soap, towel,
hair brush and comb and
whisk broom and mirror in the
court house toilet room. to
match the neat wash bowl and
stand placed there by the

in fact convenient. neat and
clean. He placed bars ON the
two entrances to the court
room, sd dthat when there is no
court or, other BUSINESS there.
the room will not be entered

living apartments the sheriff
