Near the turn.table, west Of the
roundhouse, another engine was

reversed and started north, the two
engines which It was pushing going
on across the turn.table and being
thrown in the ditch.
The runaway engine encountered no
further obstacles in its northward
course. It found the switches set for
the main line and forged past the de-
pot with full head Of steam, going at
full speed.
As soon as possible a yard engine
and crew started in pursuit of the
fugitive. which was found about two
miles north Of Noble. having exhaust

Embalmed Oysters.

San Antonio. Nov. 16-City Bac-
teriologist Campbell has filed a re-
port for the city council in which he
states that a large number OF oyster
samples analysed by him he has de-
tected formaldehyde or embalmlng
fluid which is said to prevent the oys.
ters from spelling.
DR. Campbell says the presence OF
the chemical can be easily detected;
that It causes the oyster TO have an
unusually Shiny, sticky feeling when
crushed between the fingers, and the
eye, or hard part of the oyster. when
eaten II is like chewing rubber.
This Shiny feeling and rubber.like
consistency" says the report, (which
the oyster acquires after being treat.
ed with the chemical, means simply
that a chemical change has taken
place between this agent and the al.
bumen, or the most nutritious consti.
tuent which the oyster contains. and
1t has lost its identity. and has been
converted into another substance and
rendered valueless as a food product.
If not dangerous"
Dr' Campbell says in his opinion the
chemical was used before the oysters
reached San Antonio in order TO pre.
vent loss to the shipper in case OF
delays.

what Botnnist. DO Not Know.

How water, commonly called sap,
necessary TO the life of tree, passes
from the roots to the topmost leaf and
evaporates is a problem not yet solved
by botanists. II is known that the
ascent is made chiefly in cavities In
the sapwood only, the heart and bark
serving other purposes. That is the
extent of our knowledge Of the matter.
Beyond is mere conjecture, and every
theory yet advanced has failed to stand

Farmers Who Insured In Wildcat
Hail Insurance Companies
are Worried.
The Companies are Putting Them
Off With Various tx.
CuSeS.
Experience of a Farmer Residing
Near Bloom With a
Company.

Some Stutsman county farmers are
complaining bitterly Ct the treatment
accorded them by some hail insurance
companies. Agents went through the
county early in the summer and in.
sured grain at what was considered
very low rate, but when it comes to
paying losses, the farmers are put of
with various excuses. One company
which done a large business in the
vicinity of Spiritwood and Bloom has
paid one small loss, only, although
there were several large losses III that
vicinity.
Harry Wade's crop was partially
damaged by hail. He notified the
company, Minnesota outfit, OF his
loss and received notice that he should
send them S47 more before they could
do anything. He had paid the regu-
lar rate Of s25 before. Mr.. Wade re-
piled that he would make them a
present of what he had already paid
them and call it square.
Every year there is some new fake
in the insurance line working the
state and all such companies do a
large business. A great many people
would like to see the insurance laws
made more stringent and have the
proper officials do their duty in en-
forcing the laws.

RESULT OF EXAMINATION
There we're $40 Applicants in the
State and l5s Failed
to Pass.

In the examination for county GER
titicates held August 29-3O there were
$40 applicants. The department of
public instruction completed the
markings Of the papers with the fol-
lowing results: First grade certifi-
Gates, II; second grade 242; third
grade l52 and failures l59.
In the four examinations of last
year beginning with August, 1901,
when the present certification law
went into effect, there were 1,840 ap-
plicants, with the following results:
First grades, 48; second grades, 72S;
third grades, 623; failures, AL.
The number of applicants for certi-
fcates has not been large at any time.
Several causes have led to this. First
and most important, the greater op.
portunities in these prosperous years
for teachers to better their positions
by entering other fields OF labor.
Again, no doubt many, feeling their
deficiencies, have not cared to meet
the new method Of examination.
The result is scarcity of teachers in
most of the counties. Many new
schools have been established in the
last two years and teachers salaries
have been increased in many counties
to correspond with the increase In all
other lines. Teachers are being at
tracted to the state from all parts Of
the northwest and even from the mid
die and eastern states. The Depart
ment is having almost daily applica-
tions for permits to teach, but as the
matter Of permits rests entirely with
the county superintendent, the ap.
plicants are referred to counties where
their services are in demand. Prob
ably more teachers have started to
work this year on permits than ever
before, and it will continue to be
necessary for county superintendent
to issue permits until the conditions
so adjust themselves that the supply
of teachers equals the demand.

RUSSELL SAGE'S ANXIETY.
Couldn't Wait Until After Church
For Wall Street News.

Couldn't Wait Until After Church
For Wall Street News.
AS an illustration Of Russell Sage's
eager desire to keep in close touch
with what is going on in the financial
world a Wall street broker tells this:
An important meeting was scheduled
for day on which Mr.. Sage was un-
usually busy, and when he arrived at
the designated place the deliberations
were over and all the participants had
dispersed. Use the telephone as he
would, Mr.. Sage could not get in COM
munication with any Of them. Know
ing that one Of those who had attend
ed the gathering passed the plate at
midweek service in a church near his
home, Mr.. Sage went there. He did
not wait for the close of the service,
but, taking a seat on the aisle through
which his acquaintance passed, he
waited until he came along with the
plate and as he put dollar bill on 1t
remarked:
edward, what did you fellows do
down there today? did not get around
in time
The gentleman spoken to smiled and
took the earliest opportunity to inform
Mr.. Sage of what had transpired.

WEALTH IN CORNCOBS.
A Mysterious Mill In Indiana Makes
Much Money.


Greentown's corncob mill is doing a
rushing business now, says an Indian
apolis dispatch, and this fact has re-
newed interest in the puzzling ques-
ton of what this big industry really
is. 1t has become the corncob center
of the Hoosier State, but little more is
known Of what becomes of the product
from the cobs than when the business
started up three years ago.
1t is said the corncobs are ground
into meal. This explanation is by no
means sure, for the greatest secrecy is
maintained about the factory, and up
to date none but employees has
gained access to the buildings, and all
they know is that they grind up the
corncobs, draw their pay and ask no
questions.
That the company has found some
mills are kept running to their full
capacity. The rumor is that the corn
cobs are ground up into three grades
of meal. The finest is said to go into
some kind of shredded biscuit, the Sec
Ond or red grade to the eastern brew
cries for the coloring of beer, and the
third or mixed grade into mixture
Of ground feed composed Of corn and
oats.
Much secrecy attends the shipment
Of corona" as the townspeople have
come to call it. The ground corncobs

homesteads near Medina recently.
They took their lands allsgtogether.
All four went out to look over the
lands and on their return they rushed
up to U. S. Commissioner Murphy's
office in Jamestown to make their FL
ings. Attorney Carr was in the Office
alone. One of the Assyrians rushed
over to the map and pointing at a Sec
tion asked if it was taken. Mr.. Carr
replied that it was not. The Assyrian
then said they wanted to file on it. AS
it was nearly 6 O'Clock, Mr.. Carr told
them to come back at O'Clock, as he
wanted to 60 to supper. One of the
Assyrians took out quarter and Of
fered it to Carr, saying at the same
time, ''Hold him for us to file on until
you get back"
This is a sample of the anxiety the
newcomers have to file on the land
after getting a look at it. A great

A great many are in charge of agents

buy and take homesteads. They are
surprised that the lands are SO cheap.

The different racing associations in
this state are becoming enormously
wealthy. They are required to pay into
the state treasury tax Of per cent
on the gross receipts. The revenue is
so great, however, they hardly notice
this.
Each association pays it's stockhold-
ers 10 per cent on their holdings.
Twenty and 25 per cent could easily be,
paid from the amount cleared at each
meeting, but the directors of each club
think it advisable not to declare too
big dividend, and the surplus is in
vested in gilt edge securities
