Water Was Bad.

Three samples Of water taken from
deep wells in the fever-infected por-
ton Of the village of Glenullfn, in
Morton county, are found to be badly
contaminated.
Secretary Healy, of the state board
of health, visited Glenullin to make
an investigation, and found that while
the water supply in the portion of the
town where there were numerous
cases of typhoid fever was taken from
deep wells, the sanitary surroundings
were bad.
Closets and cess-pools were located
near wells, and no effort was made to
keep the immediate vicinity of the
well free from refuse of every char
acter. Samples of water were taken
from three wells in the neighborhood,
and submitted to Professor Brannan
and Professor Babcock, of the uni
versity of North Dakota. They re-
ported yesterday that all of the sam
pies were badly contaminated.

Philadelphia, Nov. 18.-In the suit
Of c. G. A. Loder against the National
Associations of Wholesale and Retail
Druggists and the Philadelphia Asso-
citation Of Retail Druggists before
Judge Holland in the United States
circuit court statistics were produced
by counsel for the plaintiff to show
that during the past six years the pub
lie has paid $96,0OO,O00 in increased
prices for drugs. Mr.. Loder, who is a
cut rate druggist, is asking 100000
damages for an alleged conspiracy on
the part of>the defendants to ruin his
business.
Clayton F. Shoemaker, senior men,
Der of the wholesale drug firm of Shoe
maker & Busch, had testified that to
some extent his refusal to supply
cut rate druggist was due to his sym
pathy for the smaller retailer.
Counsel for Mr.. Loder then produced
figures and asked him where was his
sympathy for the consumers, who, the
lawyer declared, had paid $16,000,000
more annually for medicine during the
six years since the combination of
wholesale druggists was effected. Mr..
Shoemaker said he did not believe the
figures.

New York, Nov. 1S.-The closer
unity of churches was the subject of
the days session of the Interchurch
Conference on Federation at Carnegie
hall. Several speakers said that the
easiest first step towards such unity
lay in cooperation in foreign and
home missionary work. The appeal to
Russians to be merciful to the Jews,
which was drafted Thursday by Rev.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN., was adopted
by the conference.
The first speaker of the day was
Rev. ]. S. Mills, bishop of the United
Brethren church. Discussing the gen.
eral subject, "A United Church and
Home and Foreign Missions" Bishop
Mills said that the federation of
ton in the work of education in mis-
sion fields. In many foreign mission
fields, he declared, the cause of educa-
ton can be best served by uniting in
one we'll equipped school the three or
four feeble ones in the same city and
release part of the teachers to engage
in the mission work He suggested
that the missionary boards hold joint
meetings.
Other speakers were Rev. Samuel

byterian church of st, Louis, Mo-, and

French Commander Punished by Coun-
ID .s<- Gil of Ministers.
Paris, Nov. 1S.-The council of min
listers has decided to infiict fifteen
days arrest on General Brugere, COM
mander of the army, for making public
details of conference which he had
with the minister of war relative to
the controversy between General Bru-
gere and General Percin, who was
chief Of staff under General Andre, the
former minister of war. The generals
recently met in the Bots de Bologne
on horseback and General Brugere re-
fused to acknowledge the salute of
General Percin, which, 1t was said at
the time, would lead to duel. Elk
plantations before the war minister led
to an adjustment Of the incident. Gen
eral Brugere then gave out state
ment saying that he had refused the
war minister's request to shake hands
with General Percin. The decision of
the council of ministers to cause Gen
eral Brugere's arrest followed. The
measure is one Of extraordinary sever
ity against the head Of the army.

STANDARD OIL FEARS CRITICISM.
Declares Small Dividend Despite I'm.
mense Earnings.

Declares Small Dividend Despite I'm.
.se mense Earnings.
New York, Nov. 18.-The earnings
Of the Standard Oil company for the
quarter just ended, according to an
authority in Wall street, have been the
heaviest In the history of that organi-
cation and but for the state of the
public mind as to the greed of great
corporations and the lax state of moral
ity in high finance the greatest divi-
dend in the history Of the company
would have been declared on Wednes-
day.
The earnings are said to have been
$22,000,000, or % FER cent of the CAPT
tai stock, for the three months. 1t
was not considered wise, however, I'M
der the circumstances, to declare more
than 10 per cent, although this divi-
dend was per cent more than the
dividend declared in the corresponding
quarter last year. y..,s-t
The disturbances in Russia, which
have prevented the normal production
of Russian petroleum, have made the
demands abroad for the American
product larger than ever before. Not.
withstanding this increased business,
the company has swelled it's profits
still more by steadily advancing the
price of petroleum to the consumers In
the United States. ..-

At HIS OWN REQUEST.
Salary of President of Mutual Life Cut
in Two.

SalfWy OF PRESIDENT OF MUTUAL Lie CUT
in Two.
New York, Nov. 18.-At q special
meeting of the board of trustees of the
Mutual Life Insurance company, at
which the recently appointed investi-
eating committee submitted it's report,
President McCurdy caused stir by
stating that at his own request his
salary had been cut in half, from $780,
600 to $4,000 a year. This action was
taken at meeting of the finance COM
mittee, and, Mr.. McCurdy said, was the
first step in reducing the expenses of
the company.
Salaries of the other executive off,
GERS of the company also have been
reduced, the saving amounting in all
to between $145,O0O and $15O,O00 per
annum.
The committee recommended that,
pending it's further inquiry, the Off
GERS adopt Immediately policy of re-
trenchment. .E.
The preliminary report was adopted,
together with resolution increasing
the powers of the committee in con-
tinuing it's investigations.
Explaining that the present report is
but preliminary, the committees re-
port says
1.-THE revelations of the past few
months involving several of the lead
ing insurance companies of this city,
among them this company, have deeply
impressed the people of the whole
country and created among them a
feeling of grave distrust and alarm
as to the management of these great
trusts.
"This report, therefore, in great part,
deals with and recommends changes in
practices by this company which on
their very face are loose, unsound and
open to criticism" ~

The following formal statement on the
subject was made by the bank:
"The Credit Lyonnaise is continuing
the making of advances on stocks, but
owning to the fall in state funds and
industrials and the narrow market Of

larger margins than formerly"
Other banks are also adopting the

the streets in the principal parts Of
the city are in total darkness, and
have been SO all night, the strikers
having extinguished the gas lights.
The strikers are in a dangerous mood
and are practically bordering on
anarchy. They issued the following
appeals to the troops:
*sss;sa cot Gown your blood-thirsty
commanders, but don't shoot your
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1905-11-18
STRIKE STILL EXTENDING
SITUATION AT ST. PETERSBURG
NOW DISTINCTLY MORE
/; MENAcING.

6t. PETERSBURG Nov. 18.-The out
look for an early collapse of the strike
Is more gloomy. The situation is dis
tinctly more menacing. The council
Of workmen's delegates, or strike COM
mittee, are manifestly encouraged by
the extension of the strike in St.
Petersburg, various organizations, in
Guiding the bank clerks, telephone girls
and some OF the professional leagues,
having voted to join in the movement.
Moreover, it is certain that the work
mems council have received myster-
ious supplies of funds and consequent
ly they present holder front. Prac-
tically all the pretexts based on econ
omic demands have been abandoned,
although the eight-hour day figures in
the oratory at meetings in order to
hold the workmen who have no
thought except Improvement in their
material condition. S. g..
Count Whites attempt to negotiate
directly with the strike leaders has
come to naught, although he offered
concessions in the cases of the Cron-
stadt mutineers in the event of their
being condemned to death. But the
leaders refused all compromise. "All
or nothing" was their response.
The imperial ukass on the land
question, although it wipes out about
t40.000.000 Of the peasants arrearages
Of debt, which under ordinary circum.
stances might have been received with
Joy, Is another disappointment. The
promises Of additional lands are too
vague to calm the agitated, starving
peasants. who. in the valleys Of the
Don and Volga, are again marching,
pillaging, burning and numbering.
The news from the provinces shows
that practically no movement has been
started there In support of the general
strike, but there is a deep suspicion
that this may simply be the lull OF
preparation.
The social democrats and revolu-
tionists are keeping their plans dark.
Their organizations have ramidcations
throughout the country and ct q signal
they might again be able to bring the
Industries Of the country to . stand
still.
