has not heretofore attempted to make
any uniform and comprehensive exam

France and Belgium have made such
examinations and published the re-

The republican convention adjourn
ed about four O'Clock Saturday after
noon. There was a good attendance
of delegates, nearly il not every dis
trict in the county being represented.
The most interesting fight in the con
vention was that for the Office OF
states attorney, and Candidate Coch-
rane made good fight on the floor
but was unable to break into the com
bination for A. T. Patterson. He en-
livened the proceedings. however, by
several gingery remarks, and lent \
little spice to the proceedings.
The resolution favoring Judge Win
chester for reelection and naming the
delegates was presented by A. Rolling
and was as follows: z.#
Resolved, That recognizing the jul
dicial and legal ability of Hon. w. H.
Winchester, the present judge Of this
district, we hereby select the following
named members of the Burleigh coun-
ty bar as delegates to the judicial
convention which convenes at Man
dan, on May 81, 1904, viz: r. N.
Stevens, A. T. Patterson, w. F. Coch-
rane, George F. Dullam. E. A. VIII

mend w. H. Winchester as candidate
on the republican ticket for judge OF
the Sixth judicial district.
The naming of a. county republican
central committee was delegated to
Chairman e. A. Williams, the commit
tee to be announced later at the pleas
ure of the chair.

pointed the republican county central
committee, under the authority dele
gated to him by the county conven-

Company at Lisbon which formerly
had old 70 Founders. but which now
has only a gatling gun; while the en-.
listed men Of the battery seem enthus.

II the officers are of sufficient educa-
ton and intelligence to instruct and
command a modern light battery.
This battery might probably be
changed to a company of infantry to
replace one Of the inefficient COM
panies of infantry, which then could
be mustered out. ,..*
In the matter of attendance, it will
be found that in some cases there
were many absentees from inspection,
this can be accouted for by the fact
that during March in North Dakota,
the weather is still very severe and
the roads bad, many of the members
OF companies, especially in the small
towns live at great distances and
could not either be communicated
with or could not attend. In regard
to the company at Grand Forks, there
is no good reason why so small num-
Der should have attended inspection,
as. nearly all are said to live in the
city. This company seems to be in
bad shape, both as to men and off,
GERS; it has no armory or room of any
kind, nor is there apparently much
interest displayed in keeping this
company alive, by the people of the
city. $S>,. s'~ = - 77*#

The tests will be conducted not for

The testing plant will comprise two
standard boilers, gas producer, coke

SOME COMMENTS ON MILITIA

have the honor to communicate to
you the following extracts from the
report Of Lieutenant Colonel Cornelius
Gardiner, 21st q. 8. infantry, Inspec-
tor, of his recent inspection Of the
organized militia Of North Dakota:
In my inspection I found the materi-
al of which the organized militia of
this state is composed to be the most
excellent as whole. The men in
the ranks were of good appearance
and strong physique, probably 80 per
cent of whom would pass the surgeons
examination for recruits. While some
OF the companies were we'll instructed
there were others where the instruc-
ton was very deficient. This may be
accounted for by the fact that but few
companies have armories suitable for
drill purposes and that since October
last those without suitable armories
have. been unable to drill, while at the
same time many were newly enlisted
recruits. If it were possible to in
spect the troops in, this state either
just before or after their annual en-
campment or at camp, much better
idea could be obtained by the inspec-
ton of their proficiency; as it was, on
account of deep snow or mud, out Of
doors, it was not possible, in many
cases, to do more than fall in the
Company, inspect and muster it., es-
pecially as quite a number had no
armory at all. OF such, not much
idea of their proficiency in drill could
be obtained. An effort is being made
by the state to provide, in the near
future, every company with an armory,
ALSO 1t is intended to install for every
company gallery for gallery practice
in the winter months. The state has
an excellent camp ground at Devils
Lake, an old military wood reserve
ton, where the summer encampments
for the troops are being held. It is

AWAY WITH CARPETS.

Many women have the mistaken idea
that hardwood floors are difficult to
keep clean, and they sweep and scour
! and sew carpets all their lives, with a
notion that by so doing they are saw
Ing themselves work. But if they
knew how to stain floors in the first
place, and to take care of them in the
second, they could save themselves
work every day in their lives, lessen
the burden of housecleaning about one
half and have their homes infinitely
more .Nholesome and hygienically
| clean. Nothing is so productive Of
moths and germs as carpets, fitting
up close and snug to the side walls.
and thorough cleansing once a year
rarely cleans them out A year will
furnish generation of germs, and eff
fectual germ destroyers sometimes de-
stroy the carpet along with it's inhabi-
tants. Rugs, of course, can be cleaned
once week easily and during the
week any single rug that has wanton-
ly .ac1uired soil can be brushed or
shaken by itself without disturbing the
rest of the room for second. Light
weight rugs of ingram filing a house
keeper can shake herself, and have
her rooms freshly clean without help
or assistance. Almost any floor, even
the old-fashioned wide plank floor. can
be made to look effective if properly
stained. In the first place, scrub it
thoroughly with hot borax suds, then,
when perfectly dry, cover it with the
following preparations: Four ounces
of gum shellac, one ounce of gum
mastic, one ounce Of gum benzoin.
Dissolve well before using, and add
little umber or sienna stain if you
want the floor dark. When it is nec-
essary wash the floor; do not use soap;
just wipe it up with a mop dipped in
warm borax water, teaspoonful Of
borax to gallon of water, and. after
it is dry, oil it with crude oil and kero-
sene. Cleaning in this way leaves a
floor looking as though it had just
been stained. 1t will not be necessary
actually to wash floor thoroughly
more than once a month. 1t should
be oiled, though, once a week. Other
mornings, if it is dusty, go over it
hastily with dry mop New York

WASHING EMBROIDERY.

The vogue Of colored embroidery on
shirt waists and dresses makes it ne
cessaly to understand laundering
these articles. If they are carelessly
sent % the laundry or put in with the
home wash results may be disastrous.
They need a separate treatment, says
the Philadelphia Bulletin.
First, set the colors. To 90 this put
half cup Of pure borax into a good
sizesIp pail Of cold water and leave the
dress to soak an hour. Wiring lightly
and transfer to tub Of hot water
that has just stopped boiling and that
holds in solution two tablespoonfuls
of borax and half cake of shaved cas-
tile soap.
Rub by hand thoroughly in this suds
"a board is never necessary and rinse
twice, first in clean warm water, and
then in clear cold water, with or with
out blueing, unless the dress has blue
or yellow tone. Wiring half dry and
let drip, out Of the sun, and, if pos
sible, in the wind. Iron when not alb
solutely dry on the wrong side. A
dress done in this fashion looks like

For Canning Fruit-Allow one-third
of it's weight in granulated sugar and
two and one-half to threa cups of wa

gar and water ten minutes to make a
syrup; then cook a small quantity Of
the fruit at time in the syrup; this
will insure the fruit beng a perfect

pineapple are cooked in boiling water
until nearly soft, then put in syrup to
finish cooking FIJI sterilized jars
with fruit, aGd enough boiling syrup
to overflow jars: if there is not enough
syrup, add boiling water, as jars must
be filed to overflow. Introduce q
spoon between fruit and jar, that air
bubbles may rise to the top and break;
then quickly put on rubbers and screw
on steriIized covers, being sure this
time that jars are alright. Remem-
