The other day one of our readers who
apparently had read through the recent
ly published list of impure and adul-
terated foods suggested that it is now in
order to publish list of such articles
as did pass inspection. Here's where the
groceryman can do some judicious and
attractive advertising that nearly every
reader would be able to appreciate.
Who will be first?
Capt. Purdy, of Co. 1. at Wahpstoa
was here on Tuesday as inspection officer
and reviewed the boys of Co., e. at the
armory in the evening. In an interview
the captain stated that if the North Da-
kota national guards can got into one of
the summer reviews of the regulars this
year there will be no state encampment
at Devils Lake. The boys of the militia
look upon this change with favor.
It is anticipated that when the Barry
case again come up in district court for
disposition on February 18th the state
will have on hand petitions in support
of it's motion for change of venue on
the ground that the case cannot secure

This move will be vigorously opposed by
the defendants counsel, taking the
stand that the case should be tried in
the county in which the crime was com
mittsd.
Col. H. E. Burritt, the old soldier of
Harvey, township has been granted an
increase of pension from s8 to eA 4

Congressman Marshall who had his3at-
tsntisn in the matter directed to the case
Of Col. Burritt by influential political
leaders in this county some little time
ago and an investigation of the case
showed Congressman Marshall that the
application in which his efforts wore
sought was both worthy and just one.
Col. Burritt's record as . soldier and
citizen is one Of which both he and his
many friends have full reason to b
proud of and the good news which
reashsd hsrs Monday Of this apprsciable
Increase Of his pension is something all
his friends will b glad to learn.
