This was one of the best con certs ever given in St Patrick's parish hail. The four nights bazaar gIven by this society closed on Saturday night, being one of the most successful ever given by this society, which goes to show that the efforts of the mem. bers of this organization are being ap- pleciated by St Patrick's parish. The society desires to tender its sincere thanks to all who in any way assisted them in making the affair such d grand success. The society will realize quite a neat sum.

CARFIELD'S MISSION. !.
Ordsrd by Prssidsnt to Probe KAnsas
 Oil Problem.

WASHINGTON, March 6--Commis- sioner James k. Garfield of the bureau of corporations has instituted rigid investigation of the operations of the oil Industry in Kansas and contiguous states. In response to resolution of the house of representatives introduced by Representative Campbell of Kansas the investigation of the oil industry will be carried on as rapidly as is con sistent with thoroughness. The report of Commissioner Garfield will be made directly to President Roosevelt.
 During the past year. said Com missioner Garfield. "a great amount of general information relating to the oil trust has been obtained. This affords a basis from which to undertake i'm mediate speciie luiries into the con ditions existing specific fields, such as Kansas, Texd and California. The method of procet nre will be similar to that followed in. the inquiry into the operations of the alleged beef trust. The commissioner of corporations, per sonally and through special agents. will obtain information from original sources. Already these sources of in formation have been sounded. They have Responded to the commissioner or corporations by agreeing to furnish in- formation, to afford the fullest oppor- tunity for inspection and examination of records and accounts and to answer all questions pertinent to the matters involved in the inquiry"
 It is the intention of Commissioner Garfield, under direction of President Roosevelt, to make the inquiry into the operations of the oil trust as compre hensive and exhaustive as possible. Nothing will be left undone that will develop single fact relating to the work of the trust, and if it has been unjust in discrimination against the producers of oil in Kansas or in any state the inquiry will show it.
 Every ratification of the inquiry will be followed. whether it lead across state lines or not. It may lead from Kansas to Texas, from Texas to Cali fornia and from California to Pennsyl- vania. But wherever it may lead it will be followed in an earnest endeavor to ascertain all the facts regarding the operations of the alleged oil trust.
 As soon as the investigation is com pleted. and it will be completed in ac- cordance with the wishes of the presi. dent at as early date as possible. the findings will be transmitted to Presi- dent Roosevelt. If in his judgment the facts warrant an inquiry by the department of justice. the facts will be turned over to Attorney General Moo dy. with instructions to proceed accord. ing to law.

After much tedious investigation and experiment l came to the conclusion that the motion of the rod in . gen. uine and successful dowser is due to involuntary muscular motion on his part. and that the stimulus which ex- cites this motion is . refex action. like that which excites sneezing. hic- cough. blushing. or palor. {.
 The issue was. therefore. narrowed down to the origin of this nervous stimulus. Further inquiry showed that 1t is due either to (aI . sub conscious detection of surface signs of underground water. which would link the phenomena of the divining rod on to other well-known psychological and physiological phenomena; or tb) fl is sometimes resembling the uuex- plaiusd instinct of many homing birds and animals: in fact. something new to ofIicial science. resembling what is called "lucidity" or -clairvoyance.-

Chicago, March 6.-Afan may live
 happily and usefully for l5O yeafA, according to Dr Lyman Beecher Sper- Ery, of Oberlin, Ohio, who has ex- pressed ihls heliet in an address de liyefed before the Young Men's Chris tian assocjation If Chicago.
 After 6 third of q century of scien- tific study such Is my conclusion" " said
 Dr Sperry. ".rhe destructive forces which bring about the present low ay-.
 craze of longevity are manifold, but I
 believe 1t is possible to enjoy good
 health md activity dp to century and q half by Il proper understanding
 of the human possibilities and the ex- ercise of this knowledge"
 Dr Sperry's topic was ''rhe Science
 of Living" his main object, apparent l iy. heinz to point out the influences
 which retaih longevity, with stress Oll
 the theory that immortality has. ti:- rect bearing ol the physical being: i Climatic conditions, according to Dr 1 Sperry, have been reduced to statis- tics. proving beyond doubt that both torrid and frigil atmosphere tend to shorten existence. All the longevity worth mentioning, it was claimed, ex- 1 isted in the temperate zone.
 In relation to the destructive force of evil habits Dr Sperry spoke ar

It was they who doubtless introduced the use of the rod into England for prospecting the mines of Cornwall and Somerset. Nearly 100 years later it was used for finding underground water in Soner- set. where domestic water supply is in many places most difficult to Ob- tain. owing to the nature of the, sec ondary rock formation k there; the water existing in Assures, pr hollows, and not in large beds, as it does in many other places.
 The reXt question was, What was the function of the do~5ing or divin- ing rM? This is of us. simply as an index of an unconscious muscular spasm which occurs in the dOwser when he f.. in the neighborhood of un- derground water, metallic ore. or any other object for which he is accus- toned to search by means of the rod Hence many dowsers do not use rod at all, trusting entirely to the sensa' tions they experience These sensa. tions often produce q serious nalaise on the part of the dowser when at the object of his search. For two cen turies dowsers in all countries have asserted the existence of this inalaise
 What, then, gives rise to the spasn and twisting of the rod? Is it 2 physical force like electricity? Nearl, all the diviners or dowsers them selves say 1t is electricity. just as they would explain boiler explosions. ol anything out of the common. by cleo tricity. To set this question at rest l made . series of experiments on in sulated and uninsulated dowsers, ant found that whenever the dowsel thought he was insulated the rot would not work. and vice versa though, as a matter of fact, had. un known to the dowser. reversed mat

It is a curious fact that boys hsir grows one-half slower than a girls. In bbys tho average rate of growth is three feet three inches in six years, being an average of IS inch per day. During the twenty-frst and twenty-fourth years mans hair grows quicker than at any other period. It takes an eyelash 20 weeks to reach a length of .429 inch. and then its life is from 100 to 150 days.

London's Cats.

That the London institution for lost and starving cats does a good work is apparent from the 1904 report, just issued, says the London News. The institution is the largest of the kind in existence. and the only one which collects lost, starving. injured or dis eased cats. In eight and half years the enormous number of 90.324 home less cats has been brought to the insti- tution-a daily average of about 60. In default of home. the animals are dis patched by chloroform in the lethal chamber.

Acting upon the advice of States At
torney Barnett of Cass county, the
county auditor will place upon the
rolls the assessment made by the
county of forty thousand dollars of the
Fargo Street Railway company, ignor-
ing the action of the state board of
equalization in fixing valuation. The
contention of the states attorney is
that the bill authorizing the state
board to make an assessment is un.
constitutional since the constitution
provides that the state board shall
make the assessment of railroads, but
that all other property shall ne as
sessed in the county, city, township or
subdivision in which it is located.
The question seems to hinge therefore
on whether the street railroad is a
railroad or is not a railroad. If the
street railroad is a railroad then the
state board has the authority to as.
sess and If it is not railroad then the
county has apparently the authority
The courts will probably have to
determine.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
g.

K. N. Wylie, who has for several
years been the efficient deputy state
auditor under State Auditor Holmes
has rendered his resignation, and will
leave the city this week, to enter into
the banking business in the northern
part Of the state. Mr.. Wylie has a
splendid opportunity offered him and
his natural qualifications should bring
him much success in his new field of
endeavor. While friends will regret
the departure of Mr.. and Mrs. wylie
from this city, they extend good
wishes for their success in future. In
filing the place made vacant by Mr..
Wylie's resignation, Auditor Holmes
has recognized the long and faithful
services Of Carl o. Jorgenson, chief
clerk in the Office and has named him
as deputy auditor. This is an appoint
ment based upon merit and that Mr.,
Jorgenson will amply justify the con-
fdence reposed in him is the opinion
OF all who have had occasion to
recognize his many good qualities.
James Sing of st. Thomas, Pembina
county will fill the chief clerkship,
succeeding Mr.. Jorgenson.

1t Is understood that the Liquozone
people by printing upon their labels
the exact formula of their medicine
and by emitting all false statements
may continue to do business in the
state. Prof. Ladd, pure food commits
sioner, claims that the present labels
states that the medicine is liquid oxy-
gen and ozone, while he claims 1t is
largely sulphuric or sulphurous acid!
A pure drug law does not contemplate
the excluding of any nostrum from the
market providing that it's formula is
honestly printed that the people may
know what they buy. 1t is not the
purpose OF the law, however, to per-
NIT one substance to be sold under
Misrepresentation. Prof. Ladd is
therefore merely carrying out the pur-
pose of the law when he insists that a
drug be honestly and accurately
