What is bound to become one Of
the chief industries Of North d.
kota is the manufacture Of Ignite
briquettes. The vast, almost mex
haustible supply of coal underly-
ing most of the western and north
ern sections of the state, and in nu-
merous places cropping out on the
surface, presents a field of opera
ton for the employment Of thous-
ands of laborers in the next decade.
Not much is known concerning
the making of Ignite briquettes in
the United States and very little
comparatively has been said regard
ing this most important industry
of Germany and France, which is
certainly to be developed in so rich
a mineral territory as North Dakota
affords. It is true that General
Washburn, who has already accom-
plished much in the development
of coal mining on the Missouri
slope, has taken a deep interest in
the study of briquettes, and last
winter announced his intention Of
establishing a plant in the Slope
country at Wilton, and steps were
taken to consummate his plans, so
that before another year, it is prob
able that North Dakota will have in
operation a Ignite briquette man
ufacturing plant; but there has not
been the interest that the fuel sit
uation in the west would appear
to warrant. The west is at pres
ent dependent upon the eastern
coal mines for its supply Of fuel,
except for the comparatively small
amount of Ignite coal that is
mined.

Ignite as taken from the mines
is an important fuel product of the
Northwest, but it can make little
Roadway against anthracite coal
while that product is as plentiful
as at present. With the advent of
Ignite manufacturing on
an extended scale, is there suff-
cient evidence to warrant the pre-
diction that North Dakota Ignite
briquettes will control the fuel mar
ket of the great Northwest?
All experiments with the manu-
%facture of briquettes out of North
Dakota Ignite under favorable con-
ditions seem to have resulted in
satisfactory success. In a report
issued by Hon. Frank Fl. Mason,
u. S. consul general at Berlin,
March 18th, 1903, are given some
very interesting facts regarding the
manufacture Of Ignite briquettes.
1t is stated that the outward clean
illness Of Berlin and other German
cities is principally due to the gen.
eral consumption of brown coal
briquettes for household and steam
fuel. They r made from the Or
binary German Ignite without the
use Of tar or other artificial binder,
are compact to store, clean to han
die, burn with a clear, strong flame,
are cheaper than good bituminous
coal, and are made practically
smokeless. Alignite with less than
thirty per cent Of water is very diff
ticult to work by the usual process.
German Ignite contains from 46
to 50 per cent of water and is very
soft as a rule; in fact it contains
too much moisture for the best re-
suits. Mr.. Mason stated further in
the report that several samples of
Ignite from near Bismarck, N. D.
had been received at the consulate
and turned over to a syndicate to
be made into briquettes. The ex-
pertinent was stated to be an entire
success. The Dakota Ignite was
hard and old and contained 80 per
cent of water, but crushed and pull
verified easily and formed without
binder briquettes of firm structure
which burned readily, were practi-
cally smokeless and left only 4 per
cent of ash, while the best German
brown coal b%riquettes yield from 9
to IL percent of inorganic residue.
The percentage of water in North
Dakota ignite was stated to be
rather low, but can be easily met
by adapting the heating-drying pro-
cess to that proportion of moisture.
The extentof the Ignite briquette
manufacturing industry in Ger
! many is enormous. It is said that
there are in that country 286 brown
coal briquette factories with 69l
presses. They work up annually
4,2ll,0OO tons of Ignite briquettes
per mum. The industry has
passed the experimental stage in
Germany. In America it is not
yet an infant industry.-Forum.

FOX A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment. In a Restaur-
 ant.

An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine. while on a recent western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
 While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of well known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was a regular user of the tablets he began speculating as to how many of the other travelling men in the dining room were also friends of the pop ular remedy for indigestion.
 He says: "I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office. took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty y-three made a practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
 One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets had been entirely free from indiges- ton, but he continued their use, especially while travelling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all travelling men he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted.
 Another. who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased, without fear of a sleepless night or any other trouble.
 Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres sure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in chest. which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly.
 
 Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use.
 After smoking. drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive organs, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy. wholesome condition so effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase which every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux. hydrastin and yellow parilla, and can be safely relied upon as a radical cure. for every form of poor digestion. Sold by druggists everywhere.

INTEREST KEEN IN
 DEMOCRATIC FIGHT
NO QUARTER, IS THE CRY BE- TWEEN THE M'LAUGHLlN FAC TON AND TAMMANY HALL IN FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY.

New York, October 15.-All other feat ures of the political campaign were over shadowed in interest yesterday by the almost positive assurance that the fac- tionaI democratic fight in Brooklyn will be continued and that peace between the Mclaughlin faction and Tammany. Hall is as far distant as ever.
 This was made appearent when Colonel Mcclellan declined an invitation to attend the Brooklyn ratification meeting unless the full democratic ticket was endorsed, and when Senator McCarren called at Tammany headquarters to express his ap- proval of McClellans course. A bitter struggle for supremacy is predicted at the approaching meeting of the Brooklyn county committee, called at the instance of McCarren.
 Tammany Hall held an enthusiastic rat ification meeting tonight. at which the Brooklyn delegates were not present. Ap- peals for campaign funds were sent out today by the citizens union and repub- lican organizations.
