North Dakota Republicans Name a
State Ticket.

SSoSS ttSNSS
Fargo, N. D., July 24.-The eighth
convention of the Republican party OF
North Dakota to nominate two con-
gressmen and full quota of state Of
icers was called to order at IL a. m.
Colonel E. C. Geary was made tenn
porary chairman and it is probable
that he and associate officials will be
made permanent officers of the con-
Tention.
Party leaders point to the fact that
this preliminary of the coming cam
paign has been the easiest for the
slatemakers of any preceding conven
ton. The uncontested candidates two
weeks ago proclaimed the fight TOO
easy" and the prediction has proved
true. They claimed 500 votes out of
the 1888 in the convention and since
the vanguard arrived there has not
been the least fear among the control
lers of the convention. Governor
White, for denomination. has been on
easy street" at all stages, notwith-
standing the influence and prominence
of his opponent, E. 7. Sarles of Hills
boro. -
Under the new census the state is
entitled to two congressman. T. F.
Marshall will be. renominated and the
second place will fall to B. F. Spalding
of Fargo who was SO ~ruthlessly turned
down two years ago..
At the afternoon session the con-
vention nominated the following state
ticket:
Congress, T. F. Marshall, Dickey; B.
F. S%palding, Cass; governor, Frank
White, Barnes; lieutenant governor,
David Bartlett, Griggs; supreme court,

DESERT INcITEs TO POETRY.
Writer Discovers Beauty Of Sort In
DesoIation.

l know a desertlike place that is
not wholly desert, yet it is neither
oasis nor fertile land, says Werner 2.
Reed in the August Atlantic. 1t is
what might be termed a semi-desert,
and it has a mood that is different
from that of other deserts. 1t seems
philosophic, well-contented sort of
place, that has much knowledge, much
wisdom, and that extracts wise en-
joyment from the days that pass over
it. 1t is nearly related to a tall peak,
and is akin to a nearby range of
mountains, and to the air and the sky.
Flowers grow upon this semi-desert-
sunflowers, and bergamot, and blue
bells, and Mariposa lilies, and many
other shaggy little steps that bear blue
and yellow and white and seven-hued
blossoms. 1t knows sage-brush, too,
and yucca, and various pygmy cacti.
1t is field and farm and native land
for many well-established, ancient and
wise nations of prairie dogs, and 1t
is the world and the fullness thereof
for thousands of republics of ants.
THIS semi-desert stretches away from
the mountains and runs its way in
billows towards the East. We know
it reaches to farms and towns and
work and trouble, and that its next OF
kin, the prairie, goes on to the great
rivers whose banks are lined with the
covers of chattels, but we like to think
that, as desert, it stretches away be-
yond the horizon, and passes un-
changed on to infinity, and across 1t is
the road to eternity, and endless
growth of soul and joy of effort and
consummation.

How Water Freezes.

1t used to puzzle all thinking peo-
pie why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond certain depth. This depends
on most curious fact, namely, that
water is at it's heaviest when it
reaches forty degrees Fahrenheit, that
is, eight degrees above freezing point.
On frosty night, as each top layer
of water falls to forty degrees it
sinks to the bottom; therefore, the
whole pond has to drop to forty de-
grees before any of it can freeze.
At last it is all covered to this point,
and then ice begins to form. But ice
is very bad conductor of heat.
Therefore, it shuts off the freezing air
from the big body of comparatively
warm water underneath. The thicker
it gets the more perfectly does it act
as great coat, and that is why even
the Arctic ocean never freezes beyond
few feet in thickness.

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
OF some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-,
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases Of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result Of q

Hundreds Of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of
them Is discovered, there will be NO
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
