The dog days are days TO watch the
drains. II behooves the brave wife to
lend them her personal supervision in
kitchen and bathroom. In the former
apartment scalding water and washing
soda must be poured down the sink
drain each day. This eifectually will
wash away all greasy deposits and pre-
vent odors. Even greater care should
be exercised In the bathroom. To de-
stroy injurious germs all the pipes
should be thoroughly fiunhed each
morning with boiling hot water. AT
light there may be sprinlzled into each
pipe large spoonful of chloride Of
lime, a can Of which may be kept IN
the bathroom for the purpose on d

states that the city at the pre-

ground, and for the time being.
it is simpossible to clean the alleys.
Geo. W. Hecker has offered a
dumping ground free east Of the

select it as a public place, Dr..
White will then see that the sani-

improved. The doctor will stop

MURDER THEORY
GROWS STRONGER
1t is Now Almost Certain That
the Little Three Year Old Boy
Was Murdered and Thrown
Into Mouse River.

Nothing further has been heard
from the finding OF the dead body
of the three year old boy in the
river about a week ago, near Mi
not. This leads us to believe all
the more that the child was mur-
dered. Owing to the sluggish
nature oI the eriver, aid the many
crooks and turns, we feel certain
that the child was killed not far
from Minot, and very likely right
in the city. Dr.. Windell, the
coroner. is firm in the belief that
the child is a victim OF foul play
for the little one was clad only
i'll it's night clothes, and would
not have been wandering about
alone in such a condition. The
doctor says that it is probable
that someone, a stranger, STOP
ped in Minot, perhaps enroute to
Canada or some other point, and
put the child out of the way
here. These may be mere sus-
piciOns, but there is ample ground
for them. 1t is certain that the
child was not clad in outer gar
ments when placed in the river,
for they could not have been en-
tirely torn from the body The
probabilities are that the child
had been in the river all winter,
and when the waters receded this
spring, lodged IN the brush pile
where it was found. The doctor
believes that the body lay IN the
brush perhaps two or three
weeks, when the greater part o
the putrefaction occurred.

pleased to receive any informa
tion which ultimatelywouldlea<

YARD COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY. MAY T.
Spalding Fires First Gun.

Ex-Congressman Spalding from
Fargo, and Mr.. Helgeson, a we'll
known Scandinavian politician,
addressed a crowd of citizens at
Jacobson's opera house Saturday
night. Mr.. Spalding, who was
turned down at the last state
convention by delegates who,
went there fully intending ;t1ii:ig to
support him, told a good many
things about Mckenzie. Hans
trough trough, aii1 aiia the other members
Of the Big Four, which many Of
the voters did not before know.
The speech has been preserved
and it will be printed in full in
the papers ere long. This prac-
tically opens the campaign in
Ward county, to end only with
the primaries, and possibly only
with the fall elections. The
Good Government League which
Spalding represents, is bound
that the power will be wrested
from the hands of the state ma
chine. AS Spalding stated in his
speech, for sixteen years the
same gang has controlled things,
and as it is impossible to gain
access to many of the records, the
voters naturally are a little sus-
picious as to how business has
been conducted. for the state.
Spalding has been over many
portions of the state, and feels
certain that there will be little
difficulty in overthrowing the
machine, which however, will
make a hard fight. Ward county
is strongly anti-machine, yet the
voters will be wonderfully sur.
prised to know what influence is
being brought to bear upon those
whom the bosses would have
for their lieutenants. From now
on there will be something doing
in Ward county.

Will Throw Base Bali Team.

Dave Thomas, the champion
middle weight wrestler Of 4Ameri-
ca, is in Minot looking for game.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Thomas was here three years
ago. Last year he had 5:s
matches in Mexico, and the
southwest, and won all but two,
which were handicap matches.
He is now making a speciality OF
throwing base ball or foot ball
teams, agreeing to throw all OF
the members within an hour.
Thomas is here for business. Its
up to President McGlynn of the
Western League to get some OF
his heavy weight teams busy.

Business Vahle of the Local Mill

Quite often a person is not
missed or appreciated until they
die or move away from the COM
munity. So it is with the local
mill. Blessings brighten as they
take their flight.
1t seems very strange that in
some communities a mill is not
appreciated until it burns down
or is noved away The value Of
a -four mill to EN- agricultural
community is so well understood
that 1T is very common for bon
uses TO be offered or other in
ducGnents held out, for the erec-
tion Of such. The experience of
scores of towns will show that
the flour nail] is the greatest
single factor in the prosperity of
1.-THE average agricultural COM
:nulnity. ltcrRates a home market
for the most important products
|af the farm. The money stays i'm
the community. If anyone will
figure up 5the amount of cash
Fthat a nill quits into ciculatian,
and the amount of business it
|<draws to- the town, it will easily
be seen why communities with
mills flourish while neighhor-
ing communities without a mill
languish. In fact, scores of
towns have been built around a
mill as .nucleus. Nothing draws
the farmers trade like a mill.
One generally buys IN the market
where he e:sells, and the farmer
trades in the town where he
takes his grain to mill. The only
wonder is,that the business men
of so nla1E' towns do not more
heartily support an in dus try
which means so much to them.
The store keepers are the chief
offenders.

restore the young man to health,
but to no avail. He passed into

HENRY CLAWS HOUR OF DEATH
Precise Time OF Great Commoner's
Demise In Dispute.

Almost every visitor to Washington
has noticed the dial on the clock on
the avenue front of the Nationsl no
tel, and has also noticed that the face
of the clock, which is up in the arch
on the roof, is a painted clock and
not bona flde timepiece.
They have also noticed that the
hands Of the clock are painted to In
dicate S:33. This time has been regis.
tered on the National hotel over fifty
wears, and many have wondered why
that particular time was selected.
The explanation is that the clock
was painted soon after the death OF
Henry Clay, who died in room % OF
that hotel on June 20, 1850. and II Is
stated by authority that the time In
dicated by the hands Of the clock was
fixed to indicate the exact 'ur OF the
death OF Henry Clay.
II this Is the fact, the pal ters, or
the person who ordered them TO set
the clock at that hour, made an error,
because, although Henry Clay passed
away in the hotel on that particular
day, he died at 1l15 a m, Instead OF
S;33. The people at the hotel still
contend that their clock Is right and
that the papers and the records are
ell wrong.-Baltimore American.
