Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1906-04-05

The announcement of Z. Wienecke in
last weeks Cavalier Co. Republican
that he would be a candidate at the
primaries in June for the nomination of
county commissioner of the second dis
trict is an indication that others whose
aspirations for Office have so far been
strictly on the O.. t. will soon make their
appearance out of the woods. Mr.. Jos.
Heapy the present incumbent has rep
resented the second district contin-
uously since 1S94-a period of twelve
years that has had much to do with the
formative growth of the southwestern
part Of the county. Several months
back he publicly expressed his intention
of retiring at the close Of his present
term. The district is a large one com
prising as it does sixteen congressional,
townships, Or more than one-third the
area Of the entire county, and it il
natural that among those residing there
in will be found several who can b;
prevailed on to make the race.

BATTLES WITH A HAT PIN.
Chicago Girl Fights Robbers and Saves

Chicago Girl Fights Robbers and Saves
$4,000.
Battling with hat pin against five
highwaymen who attacked her in
broad daylight on a crowded street,
Miss May Gates, cashier in a Chicago
confectionery company, held her as
sailants at bay until the police came
to her rescue. Her resistance saved
her employers $4,000, which she was
bringing from the bank to meet the
company's payroll.
Miss Gates left the bank at noon,
took a street car to within a block
of the company's Office and was al
most in the doorway when the five
robbers, masked and armed, attacked
and dragged her into an alley, strug-
Cling to wrest from her the handbag
In which she carried the money. By
ISLANDERS rushed to the young woman's
rescue. but the highwaymen drew their
revolvers and fought so desperately
that they were not only defying them
completely but seemed in fair way to
overpower Miss Gates.
Attracted to the spot by the commo-
ton, a half dozen bluecoats and de-
tectives at last entered the fight.
After 20 or 80 shots had been ex-
changed, the robbers attempted to es-
cape on a passing street car. Three
of them eluded the officers. Two, who
gave the names of Harry Farnum and
Harry Baller, were arrested.

Orderly Sunday in Paris.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE serious disturb
ances that it was though would ensue
on this, the first Sunday, under the
law separating church and state, were
not realized. The services in this city
in particular passed off quietly. There
was a notable increase in the size of
the congregations and in them were
large bodies of men who were deter
mined to prevent the interruption to
masses by rowdies.
Reports from the provinces show
that there was great excitement at
many places. Large professions
chanting psalms accompanied the
clergy to and from the churches. Coun-
ter demonstrations took place in sew
eral cities, notably Perpignan and
Amiens, where the Catholics and Free
Thinkers came into collision, necessi-
tating interference by the police, who
quickly dispersed the crowds. Several
of the demonstrators were injured.

Warsaw, Russia Poland, Dec. H.
Reports received from points through
out Russian Poland show that the gov.
ernment's policy of firmness has been
successful in subduing the last of the
smoldering sparks of revolution. This
result was accomplished at a terrible
cost to the Polish people, the number
of victims being estimated at thou
sands. Business became stagnant.
the trades and industries are bank
rupt, and the masses are disspirited
and in state of poverty.
Slaughter of Terrorists.
Reports Sunday from Cezenstoch-
owa, which is a typical Polish town,
show that seven socalled terrorists
have been tried by drumhead court
martial and executed in the last two
days.
In the early part of the week five
terrorists were convicted and shot
here, also three at Sieradz, two at
Tomasseow, and one at Lomza. These
executions have been going on so con-
stantly throughout Poland generally
that it has become almost superfuous
to repeat the daily chronicle of mill
tary executions. Altogether, despite
the darkness of the present martial
conditions, the situation has been
somewhat relieved by new evidence Of
the indomitable spirit of the Polish
people asserting itself.

In the discussion which fol-

about four inches deep, and that

w. D. Trego, who was one Of
the field superintendents and had
charge o.. a large piece Of territory,
said this conceded with his con-
clusions,. that he had thought
sometimes that the fault may have
been in the seed, but that be had
followed that theory until he was
sure the matter Of seeds was not

McPhers,n stated that a. the seeds
came from the Old World, the
theory Of having shipped the
blight 10 with the seeds should be
laid to rest, because the blight
which visited US was q native Of
America.
One Of the Important points
brought out by this session Of the
institute was that fall watering ana
blowing leave the ground mellow
and well filed with moisture in
the spring. That it allows the
freezing to kill the eggs Of insects,
and disintegrate the particles Of
soil, making il richer. That il on
ables the farmer to plant seeds
earlier, and to keep the ground
mellow and moist By cultivation
