Fighting Mustard.

The prevalence of mustard in many
of the fields south of Fargo has
caused the authorities to take action
and it is probable the owners will be
compelled to use solution of copper
sulphate to kill the weeds. If the
field is sprayed with q 8 per cent So
luton, obtained by dissolving fifteen
pounds of sulphate of copper in fifty
gallons Of water, it is said the mus
tard will be killed and the crop unin-
jured. The. proper amount to be used
is fifty gallons to the acre. This is
less expensive thar HAVING the weeds
pulled, and does not destroy the crop
like blowing the mustard under.

executive council of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, in session here, has
adopted resolution supporting any
legislation having for it's purpose the
abolition of child labor in states where

trade disputes, such as increase Of
wages, threatened reductions or
changes of trade conditions or rules,
Its charter would be revoked.

nlent in Porto Rico against the opposi-
ton with which it is meeting at every
turn.

THREE CHILDREN sTRANGLED
BY THEIR DRUNKEN MOTHER
Horrible Discovery of Night Watch
man on His Return Home.

NEW YORK, July 26. Richard
Meade, night Waterman, on return
ing to his home in Brooklyn, today
found his two little daughters dead
from strangulation caused by Irvine
tightly tied around their Threats. A
third child was unconscious from the
same cause, and his wife lay in com
atose state on the floor, apparently
suffering from alcoholism combined
with poison
According to the police, the woman
was of Incorporate habits, and the
supposition is that she strangled the
children while, delirious. The babys
injuries are probably fatal.
About one year ago Meade had his
wife arraigned for intemperance 1t
was just prior to the birth of the
youngest child, and on that account
she was released on promise to re-
form.
