CUBA A "FoRE1GN COUNTRY"
Court Decides This Was True Even
When Wood Ruled.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: Basing his
opinion upon the action taken by Congress
in the famous Nicely case, United States
Judge Thomas made decision today de-
claring that Cuba was foreign country
even when General Wood was governor of
the island by federal appointment This de-
cision is the first given in this country to
establish the status of Cuba during the
period of American occupation
Four nations are concerned in the case
Immediately affected by Judge Thomas de-
cision. On the Munson steamship Paloma,
which was registered in Havana last Feb
ruary. two months before General Palma
assumed control of the island, Jose Asia, a
Spanish sailor. is alleged to have killed a
Russian shipmate while the vessel was in
Haytian waters last July. Hayti then was
in revolution. so Asia was brought on to
Brooklyn and turned over to the United
States authorities, charged with man
slaughter. His trial has been going on in
the Brooklyn court during the last few
days.
T. ]. Ryan. counsel for the prisoner, con-
tended on Wednesday that the United
States had no jurisdiction In the case
as the ship was of Cuban registry and
flew the Cuban as well as the American
flag. and that. therefore. the prisoner must
be dealt with by the Cuban courts. Judge
Thomas upheld this view.

clerk, and first conceived the idea of feed

A TIGHT WIRE FENCE.

Dakota Farmer: Farmers in this
locality have caught the idea Of build
ing wire fences that stay tight. They
set their posts in the fall and wait till
after freezing up to stretch the wire
so there is no danger Of having the
post yield and leave tho bottom wire
slack. 1t may be cool work driving
staples in winter but it is some salts.
faction to have a fence up in good
shape. Another trick is to drive the
fence posts instead of boring holes and
tamping them in. Have the posts
sharpened off like a lead pencil and
the upper corners squared off so they
will not split. Start holes in the sod
with a spade, load the posts on an
open hay rack and drive along the
line where the fence is to be.

SAVE SEED NOW.

Commenting on the fact that s.
OAK. farmers are abandoning fax
growing owing to fax wilt, Prof.
Bolley of the state agricultural college
says North Dakota farmers must pay
more attention to selection of seed or
their land, too, will become infected
with the parasitic fungus. He says:
"The honor of fax growing we be-
lieve can still stay with North Dakota
if the farmers will as a unit, or nearly
so, decide that henceforth only big,
fat, bright-colored flax seed shall be
seeded into the soil of their farms.
Now is the time to select the SO ed for
next year. Go out into the field and
there find an area of fax which you
think ripenel evenly and shows no
sign of disease. Save it carefully,
thresh it dry and ave the grain for
seed purposes. Practice a proper crop
rotation in the future and treat the
seed for the prevention Of wilt when
ever you are suspicious that the grain
is in any manner liable to infection.
By following such methods of fax
farming. and by this only, We believe
will it be possible for North Dakota
to continue to hold the honor as the
great fax producer.

HOSPITAL BAZAAR.

The ladies of Devils Lake will give
a grand bazaar for the benefit of Mercy
Hospital on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, Oct. 20, 20 and 80, in. the
second story of the Brennan block
near new city hall. All who have
watched the progress of the magnif-
cent structure being erected in Devils
Lake by the Sisters of Mercy will
readily appreciate the difficulties of
the undertaking and the courage and
devotion that can accomplish such re-
suits. Owing to the great develop
ments in 1902, tho hospital will cost
far more than was anticipated. It
was supposed that SIS, 900 would be
sufficient to erect a hospital suited to
the needs of the district, but the
building will cost at least $50, 600.
The ladies of Devils Lake have gener-
ously consented to devote their valu-
able time and skill towards the sue
cess of the hospital. Let us all pat.
ronize the bazaar and encourage them
in their laudable enterprise. All
correspondence and offers of contribu'
tions and cooperation should be ad'
dressed to Mrs. Joseph Denoyer and
Mrs. Edward Flynn, who have charge
of the bazaar.

It is noticeable that there is moi
the usual excitement this fall over
politics. This is largely due to the
fact that people are satisfied with con-
ditions. There being general content.
ment there is no demand for a strug-

everything is sailing along smoothly
and p~rosperously, with nothing pend
ing a v the individual interest of
the candidate whose old time claim
is neither exciting nor strange. How
ever, it is a safe prediction to say
that votes will not be wanting on
election day. Prices are satisfactory,
wages good, labor in demand, and the
entire state is improving and grow
ing richer, and tho great majority of
North Dakotans, in realizing all this,

tains the Republican party in power.
