VEGETABLES IN DIRT
FOR THREE YEARS

John Ehr brought to the INDIE
PENDENT office a sample OF car
rots, potatoes and turnips which
have been in his cellar on the
farm for three years. The vege-
tables are in perfect state OF
preservation. At the time of
the high food, OF three years ago,
MIR. Ehr's cellarcaved in burying
several bushels of vegetables.
He hired a man later to clean
out the dirt, but the fellow grew
tired and did not do a good Job.
A few days ago when a man was
working in the cellar, he CHANGED
to dig into the pile OF dirt and
found seven bushels of fine vege-
tables. The potatoes were not
even sprouted. This leads to
the theory that vegetables of all
kinds, can be preserved for an
indefinite period in dirt, the
dryer the better.

Along Sentence.

Frederick renberger is not
likely to secure a new trial and
the maxim penalty for each OF
his seven counts is five years in
the penitentiary and a fine OF
$4,000. This would aggregate 35
years IN the Jail with fines of
$14, 900. Judge Amidon may be
disposed to be lenient and let the
old soldier off with four or five
years and a heavy fine. Amidon
stated that the case involved the
most vital points Of any with
which he has ever dealt.

WILLIE CRARY WAS
DROWNED At DEVILS LAKE

Willie Crary, a boy IL years
OF age, and the son of the Crazy
hotel keeper, was drowned at
Devils Lake, Friday shortly after
dinner. The little fellow went to
tie lake against his mothers will
and fioated out into deep water
on a sack of corks. The sack got
away from him and he sank five
or six times. Two little compa-
Mons were on the shore, and
thought he was fooling. The boy
could not swim. A man was
called, and he stated that for a
minute he saw the little boy
floating in the water on his back.
The water was not six feet deep,
and the man could undoubt-
edly have saved his life had he
rushed at once into the water.
The body was recovered after
half an hour and everything was
done to restore life that could be
done. After several hours of
futile work, the doctor present
gave up. An attempt was made
to induce artificial respiration
and the remains were taken to
the power house and given cleo
trical shocks.
1t was a pitiful scene when the
aged father waded into the water
and tried to locate his son. The
remains were found by Joe. Rus
ink, a former Minot barber. This
is the third drowning that has
taken place at Devils Lake since
the Chatauqua opened several
years ago.

The State Printing Commission Votes
to Use Them.

Monotypes won their fight over limo
types this morning before the state
printing commission. c. S. Gleed and
E w. Harris voted for the adoption of
the menotypes in the new state printing
plant. and Geo. E. Tucker was for the
lfnOtypes. State Printer McNeaI favor
ed the linotypes, but had no vote No
contract for the purchase of the ma
chimes has vet been entered into, and
consequently, there is still a possibility
that the commission may revise its ac-
ton. and agree upon the linotypes. The
commission will meet some time in the
future to consider the price of the mon
otype machine.
The monotype is used only in one
office in Topeka, that of Geo. W. Crane.
The machine consists of two parts. a.
keyboard and casting box. The key
board merely makes d stencil on a. long
strip of paper like a hand organ roll
This roll is fed into the casting box,
where the type is made. Two keyboards
and three casting boxes constitute the
outfit The cost is about $4,000. This
is higher than the cost of linotypes.

the office Of c. S. Gleed, and adjourned
without date for further meetings. The

st. Petersburg, June 2s-At Great

Great Britain the paper adds,

venture sustaining NJ. Delcasse, the for

Britain's hostility has been directly
against Russia at last succeeding in
having another country accomplish a
task from which she herself shrank
With Russia no longer dangerous for
the present, all Great Britain's ma
chinations were set in motion against
Germany, now her chief competitor in
Europe"
The Novoe Vremya thinks it quite
conceivable that in case of a conflict
Great Britain would aid France and
that then with both France and Ger
many weakened, her supremacy would
be assured for another half century.
The Novoe Vremya, however, believes
that with Premier Rouvier in charge of
the negotiations with France. Great
Britains plans will be defeated and the
