Senator Stade has introduced bill
for the state to pay for diseased ami
mails killed by order of the state
veterinarian. The bill provides that
when the owner of any such diseased
animals reports the fact to district
veterinarian, the animal shall be ap-
praised before being killed, and the
state pays two thirds the appraised
value. It is an improvement over the
present idea that glandered horse has
no real value, and there is nothing to
pay for. This idea leads to concealing
glandered cases, instead of stamping
out the disease. Paying part of the
animals value will act as reward for
reporting instead of concealing q case
of glanders. Devils Lake Free Press.

sEARMAMEN1 OF OTTOMAN ARTILLERY
GERMAN FIRM GETS CONTRACT
AND FRANCo.TURkIsH RELA-
TlONS ARE STRAINED.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Considerable
interest has been aroused in diplo-
matte circles by the morning dis
patches telling of the French crisis at
Constantinople and news of the move
ments of M. Constans, the Frecnh am
bassador there, is being anxiously
awaited. Although diplomats here are
without official information regarding
the situation it is known that the
French government has for long
time been concerned over the increas-
ing activity of German interests in the
Ottoman empire and Germany's latest
victory in securing the contract for the
rearmament of the Turkish artillery is
looked upon as the elimination Of a
series of German triumphs in Tur-
key, which, in the opinion of some.
are due to the growing intimacy Of
the Berlin government with the porte.

Daniel McBrayen, the third son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dugald McBrayen. was
born near St. Thomas. Ontario nearly
seventy years ago. During the early
years of his life he was engaged in
farming and working as a carpenter.
For several years he was engaged in q
general merchandise business at Wal
lacetown, Ontario and was interested
in an iron foundry at the same place.
On August. 1, 1875 he married Bessie.
the third daughter of John Mckay of
Kintyre. Ontario.
He came to North Dakota and to the
old Bottineau townsite in June 1884
and worked at the carpenter trade for
awhile. He built the first court house.
He next engaged in running the old
"commission store" for Augustine
Thompson, we'll known character of
the early days. During this time he
served as postmaster for two years.
The McBrayens began the hotel bust
ness in the old town and when the
railroad came in 1887 they moved the
building to the present townsite and
did large business. The big fire of
1888 left nothing but the corner lot on
which the present hotel stands. They
resumed business in the old building
which fronts Fifth street at the rear Of
the hotel and which is now fitted mp
as an Office building. Ii 1893 the de-
mands of a steadily increasing business
made necessary the fine three story
stone hotel building which graces the
scorner=of Main and Fifth streets and
stands as a monument to the toll and
perseverance,, the courage and tireless
energy Of Daniel McBrayen.
During the later years Of his life Mr..
McBrayen,;di not enjoy good health
and when he contracted pneumonia it
became apparent that he was too frail
to withstand the ravages p of the di-
sease. He died as he had lived. at
peace with the world, on Monday,
January 23rd at 80 p. m.
The deceased had two brothers, John
and Alexander, who still live at st.
Thomas, Ont. and one sister, Mrs.
Jane Mills, of St. Justine, Quebec
These and his devoted wife and his
adopted daughter mourn his loss and in
this soorrow for his death they are
Joined by the whole community who
knew Daniel McBrayen as progress
sive citizen, good friend and neigh
Dor and above and beyond all an hon.
est, upright and God-fearing man.
