ELECTRICITY FOR PLANTS.
Grape Growers in Germany Have
Used 1t With Success.

used 1t With Success.
From the Boston Herald:
A recent issue of the consular reports
contains an interesting article on the
use of electricity for the cultivation Of
plants in Frankfort, German. Accord
ingto a new storyain one of the Frank
fort papers, wine producer of Elba
has been conducting the experiments
with remarkable results, He planted
four fields with native grapevines in a,
district that was infected with phyllox-
era. Two Of these fields he treated with
electricity, and he claims that the
grapes in those fields were much better
developed than those in the field where
no such aid was given.
His plan was as follows: In two
and one-half acre field he erected Ave
tall masts. the tops of which were
providede with an arrangement Tor ac-
cumulating atmospheric electricity. All
these accumulators were connected.
with each other by wires. There was
also network of wires buried in the
earth about one and one-half feet be-
low the surface. The accumulators
were connected with this network, and
the grapevines were also each connect
ed, by a wire attached to the main root
or stem, with the net.
This electrically treated field, it is
claimed produced more and better
grapes than did any of the other fields
cultivated under the same conditions,
except that there were no electrical ap-
paratus. If this story provs true and
the plants can be assisted in this way,
it is a, valuable invention. But how
would the wireless telegraph people
like this plan of ,accumulators being
put up all over the country catching
their electricity, though our farmers
might in that way be provided with "a
free fertilizer? But somehow or other

of plants by electricity or electric lights

No Party Lines Drawn and Nc
Factions Organized but There's
Earnestness Of Purpose.

City election is in progress in Bis
marck today. The weather was dis
agreeable, with a high wind and raw
cold, but the election was warm in
spots. In the First ward the battle
was between NJ. P. Slattery, the pres
ent alderman, and John White. IN
the Second ward H. L. Reade is can
didate for election and is being op-
posed by Frank Reed, who came out
at a late hour as a candidate and is
running by the sticker route. j. P.
Jackson and Walter Shelton are the
opposing candidates in the Third ward
and in the Fourth ward George W.
Beaver was put up as a candidate by
stickers against former Mayor 3. G.
Patterson.
The election was comparatively quiet
for Bismarck, although there is con-
siderable interest in each of the wards
and a good vote will be polled before
the election closes. The polls opened
at 8 o'clock this morning and closed
at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The elec-
tion is by the Austrian system.

IN THE STATE
City Elections Being Held in the Several
Cities of the State During
the Day.
Fargo and Grand Forks Offer the Most
Interesting Fields, and Hot
Contests Are On.

City elections are in progress today
through the state. In several cities
there are hot battles, which close
after lots of fireworks and campaign
hurrahing. In Fargo, the principal
interest is centered in the contest be-
tween Mayor Johnson and w. D. Sweet
for reelection. Everybody knows
Mayor Johnson, who has held down
the chair of the chief executive of the
city for several terms He is a hust-
Ter, and has a strong following, beside
good machine backing. Sweet is
a member of the firm of Bristol and
Sweet, a harness firm, and appears to
have the support of large element of
the business men. There are the usual
local issues involved in the campaign.
The wise ones claim that johnson will
be elected and are laying wagers on
him.
At Grand Forks there is a three cor
nered fight between John Dinnie, the
present incumbent of the office, DR..
H. M. Wheeler and B. S. Brynjolfson,
the democratic candidate. The Herald
and the Review have been supporting
| Wheeler for the position of mayor, and
the Plaindealer has been carrying the
Dinnie campaign. All kinds of facts
and figures have entered into the
campaign. taxation, city management,
city water works, gambling, and a
hundred and one other issues. The
papers have been hair pulling for
several weeks and the campaign closes
after a hot battle.

COMPLIMENTS THE JUDGE.

Judge Cowan who recently refused
to grant citizenship papers to an ap-
plicant who had been six years in this
country and who could not yet speak
the English language, is being COM
plimented by newspapers through the
country for the stand he is taking for
better qualifications for citizenship and
a recent issue Of the Washington, Post
says:
The Post is glad to noice an increas-
ing frequency in the turning down Of
applications for naturalization pre-
sented by or in behalf Of persons who
are unfit to be trusted with%the ballot.
It is true that citizenship does not Of
itself entitle men to thea voting privil-
ege. There are many male citizens
;tWenty-one years Of age who are not
qualified electors. But, as a rule, nat
uralization passes an alien right along
to the ballot box, giving him the same
voting. power as the wisest and best
native or adopted citizen.
Indeed, there are many states where
an immigrant is not Obliged to become
full-fedged citizen in order to be the
peer of the native on election day. In
such states an immigrant has only to
file notice of his intention to beer,
a citizen of the United States in order
to be made a voter. The national
government does not recognize this
class of voters as citizens. They cam
not get passports at the state depart
ment, and il they get into trouble in a
foreign country, our government does
not heed their calls for protection.
Thus it queerly happens that thous-
ands of men whom our government
regards as aliens take part in con-
trolling our government through par
ticipancy in the election of national
officials.
The Post is not inimical to reason
able extension OF the suffrage to men
of foreign birth. 1t cares not where
a man was born If he be really desir-
Gus to become an American and pos
sesses the essential qualifications for
good citizenship. But Immigrants who
do not care to learn to speak our Ian
guage may well be permitted to hold
their allegiance to the sovereignty
Ethey left behind them. Until we have
| laws in all the states providing an
educational qualification for suffrage,
we ought to deny citizenship to appli-
lcants who cannot speak English.

GETTING INTO SHAPE.

Had it not been for the new troubles
of the Northern Pacific at Apple creek.
traffic on this division would have
been pretty we'll resumed today.
The lake at Mckenzie is falling slow
ly. although yesterday the wind carried
the water heavily against the track.
1t takes about half an hour to get a
train across, and it is not necessary
to change the engines. The new track
is still in course of completion. 1t is
extremely crooked as it has to follow
the lowlands to prevent heavy grades.
AS soon as it is completed the old track
will probably be raised to such a point
that Mckenzie slough will have no
more terrors. In addition to the ad-
vantage of having a track above high
water mark, this will cut down the
heavy grade at Mckenzie and make it
easier hauling for freight trains.

THE HOT SPRINGS
THEIR HISTORY RUNS. BACK INTO
Z TRADITION AND MANY MIRACU-
LOUIS CURES ARE EFFECTED.

THEIR HISTORY RUNS. BACK INTO
TRADITION AND MANY MIRACU-
LOUS CURES ARE EFFECTED.
Editor Kellogg is writing some in
teresting stuff from Hot Springs anil
in recent letter says:
The history of these springs runs
back into tradition. Their healing
properties were long known to the
Indians, who it is said, made this
spot neutral ground while other tra-
ditions relate that fierce battles have
occurred among the tribes for the
possession of the springs. However
this may be, there are even at this
day many flint arrow points and spear
heads picked UP in the vicinity by
curio gatherers who display trays of
crystals, "Hot Springs diamonds and
other native specimens for sale to
visitors. DeSoto and some of his men
are said to have visited the valley in
the winter of 1541-2 and to have been
the first white men who ever saw the
place. DeSoto was buried in the wa
ters of the Mississippi river in 1912.
In 1880 some French trappers visited
the springs and built a few shanties
and soon after President Jefferson had
made the Louisiana Purchase" he
sent a party of explorers TO the place
to learn if there was any evidence OF
improvements or any one in possessi on
OF the springs with a rightfully estao-
lished claim. This party made re-
port to the government which men
toned the oil stones, the crystals, the
trees and plants, and other facts re-
garding the valley and took the tenn
perature of the waters. From that
time until 1882 various hunters and
adventures visited the place and
claimed possession by squatters right
and many fight is recorded to, es-
tablish claims on which subsequent
litigation was founded. Some of the
names of these early squtters are
houses, buildings. streets, etc, of the
town. In 1882 the government took
four sections in the center of which
were the springs, and incorporated
them in a reservation and the legal
title to the building sites and prop
erty was finally settled by the court
Of claims appointed by President
Hayes Some Of the struggles to
gain title to the springs and to the
valuable sites for building are part OF
the history of the springs. Old man
Hale, a cripple who could not move
from chair came here in 1885 and
defended his squatter sovereignty,
against all attacks, by his shot gun.
A good many men have been killed
in the contests over the property but
the Old Hale Bath House stands on
the spot a monument to the pluck OF
the man whose name it bears.
