VALUABLE INVENTION.
Humbolt Man InYents a Ditch Machin,

What may revolutionize the work of
ditch construction all over the coun-
try and affect the northern part of the
state where it is being carried on and
agitated at the present time to an i'm
mense extent is the digging machine
which was recently invented by Chas.
Glow of Humboldt, one of the prom
inent citizens of Kittson county,
where he serves as county commits
sioner. The main feature of the de-
wise, for which there is patent now
pending, is the amount of power that
is required to operate it for ordinary
use. 1t is guaranteed to do the same
work as the machines that are now on
the market with but one-tenth the
amount of power they require.
Some of the most prominent men
of this section of the state have inter-
ested themselves in the project in
order that the machine may be placed
on the market. Contractors who have
examined the model that has been
completed state that it appears perfect
in every manner and that it is ex-
tremely practical.
Coming, as it does, at a time when
the work of draining swamp lands in
the state is being agitated and active
steps being taken to bring that end
about, it will be. welcomed by every
one in the state of Minnesota If it
proves the success promised. Requir-
ing the small amount of power that it
does, it means that much more work
can be carried on than was before
planned with the means available for
the work.

DARING ROBBERY.
Erskine in a State Of Excitement Over
Box Car Bandits.

Erskine residents are excited over
a box car robbery discovered yester-
day.
o. T. Berg one of the merchants Of
that city some time ago ordered a
large shipment Of goods for the spring
trade which yesterday reached Ersk-
inc via the Great Northern.
Upon starting to unload the car he
discovered that the seal had been tam
pered with and when the doors were
opened 1t was quite evident that the
stock had been handled since it left
the wholesale shippers.
Mr.. Berg at once took an inventory
of the goods and found the stock to
be over $50 short Of the shipping list.
The officials of the Great Northern
were at once notified and they will
have detectives at work on the case
at once 1t is thought that there will
be little dificulty in locating the guilty
parties and hope to have them under
arrest in a very short time. 4 !,

New Church at Williston.

Last spring the Methodist Episcopal
church at Williston was burned by an
incendiary. Since then new edifice
hasAbeen erected, which was opened
last October. Up to last Sunday the
church had been closed for one month
because of interior decorations being
made. The decorations are claimed
to be the richest and finest in any
church in this state, west of Grand
Forks. Last Sunday Presiding Elder
Moore of the Mouse River district of
the NJ. E church made an official visit
at the church and conducted the SER
vices. A collection amounting to 5000
was taken up. The pastor of the
church is Rev. +. s. Hollett.

LOR1NG. THE MAN.
Crookston Lawyers Story Relative to
Graft Of Detective Agency.

Crookston Lawyers Story Relative to
Graft Of Detective Agency.
Crookston Journal: 1t develops that
the stir that has been made over the
grating agency known as the World
Detective Agency was occasioned by
Grand Forks man who received let
ter from this company and came over
here to consult local attorney about
the advisability of placing it in the
hand of the party who had written the
letter.
The man is in the employ of Anton
Eckern well known abstractor Of
Grand Forks, and some time ago he
was notified that he came in for a
large interest in the estate of a de-
ceased relative who died in the old
country. The agency offered to in
vestigate the matter for him upon the
receipt of his consent and fee of 81.
Thinking 1t probably fake but wish
ing to find out he came over and con-
suited Attorney Loring who told him
to hold on to his cash.
Mr.. Loring then wrote to Con. Steen-
erson telling him the story of graft
and the mails were at once denied to
the agency.

Grand Forks Men.

One of the new law firms, but not
the newest lawyers (for they are old
In experience) is Bosard, Ryerson &
Nash, who, in addition to having a
large office in this city maintains a
branch in Mohall, which is managed
by Mr.. Geo. L. Ryerson, who has been
practicing in that town for some time.
Mr.. Ryerson was for four years clerk
of the court for Grand Forks county.
The senior member of the firm, Mr.. R.
H. Bosard, comes to Minot from Grand
Forks, where he was associated for
twelve years with his father, Mr.. J. H.
-Bosard. Mr.. Bosard is a graduate of
Columbian university, Washington, d.
c. The junior member of the firm.
Mr.. L. D. Nash, recently practiced with
the law Office of Arthur LeSeur and
that of Judge Palda of this city. Pre-
vious to coming to Minot he was con-
nected with Attorney George Bangs

TWELVE NEW HIGH SCHOOLS.
State Inspector Says That That Many
\ Are Necessary In Minnesota.

OCAtc Inspector says mat I1at many
rs Are Necessary In Minnesota.
Superintendent of Schools Olson has
received the annual report of George
B. Alton, state inspector, and recon-
mends that twelve new high schools
be added to the list. Those recon-
mended as needing high schools are
Cass Lake, Chaska, Gilmore, Hawley,
Jordan, Kasota, Mabel, Mora, Morton,
New Prague, North ST. Paul and West
Concord.
The only counties beside these now
without high schools are Benton,
Clearwater, Cook, Isanti and Roseau.
They are due for representation next
year.
There are 174 state high schools in
Minnesota, and the enrolment is
20;215 pupils. This is an increase of
1000 since 1904. AS to graduates,
1858 were turned out in 1905. The
instructors employed number 825.
German Ii Popular.
With nationality liable to cut fig
ure in the coming state campaign, it
might be of interest to know that the
study of German Is on the increase
despite efforts made by members of
the present administration to dis
courage it. The study of German
grows rapidly says Mr.. Alton in his
report. Latin and Greek, he says, have
received check.
German is taught in 1874 schools and
is part of the study of $3.50 stu
dents Geography shows falling off.
French is taught in the large schools
only.
Perhaps half a dozen schools in the
state have gone over to the free text
book plan. Mr.. Alton says there is
little improvement in this line.
For the first time in the history of
the state no superintendent of a high
school receives less than 5000 year.
Many are receiving more.
One thing lacking which should be
supplied without delay. says Mr.. All
ton, is the industrial element in the
high schools. He thinks classes in
cooking and sewing, household econ
omy and agricultural pursuits should
be established in every school, He
contends that it should be given i'm
mediate attention.

er residing near Burlington, was ar
rested in Minot yesterday afternoon

charge of assault with dangerous
weapon. The plaintiff is ]. w. Craig,
also of Burlington. The prisoner was
arrigned before Judge William Murray,
who placed him under $500 bonds to

and had threatened to take his life
for revealing Craig's occupation and
that for self-protection he carried the
weapon with which he is accused of
shooting at Craig today.
The defendant claims that he only
used the gun to shoot in the snow to
brighten Craig, but Craig claims that
it wasAlsed with intent to kill.

WOULD CHANGE NAME,
Local Attorney Would Call Minot
Blackstone Hereafter.

1t has been suggested by one of the
shining lights in the legal armament
of Minot that the name of the city be
changed to Blackstone. This because
OF the large number of legal practi-
TONERS in the city in proportion to its
inhabitants. 1t is not because the in
habitants of the metropolis of western
North Dakota are not law-abiding
lot of people that the city has this I'M
usually large array of legal talent, but
because of the immense land office
business and the usual large demand
for legal talent in booming commune
ties.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Young Man In Custody for Stealing
Cash Register.


A few nights ago Tompkin's restau-
rant on Main street, Minot, was en-
tered and a cash register stolen. Yes
terday morning young man giving
the name Of Mccain was arrested by
Chief Kimball on suspicion of being
implicated in the crime. Mccain ac-
cuses pal of his who is nowhere to
be found, but it is believed that he will
soon be located and with Mccain be
jointly charged with the crime. Pat
rick Boyd of Minot bought the register
for the sum of $4.25, which he says
he paid to McCann's missing pal. Be-
cause of his inability to raise $500 for
bond, Mccain is now resting in the
county Jail awaiting his preliminary
hearing.

The funeral. of Gladys Summers
who" died Wednesday at her home on
Fifth street was held this afternoon.
The procession left the house at 2
o'clock and proceeded to the Episcopal
church in Grand Forks where Rev.
] X. Burleson conducted the services.
The number Of floral offerings and the
large cortege which attended the SER
vices showed with what regard the lit
tie one was held by all who knew her
and the deep sympathy held for the
parents by the entire community.

IMPURITIES IN
CANDY
Some Of the Laws Relating to tho New
Code Which WIN Come Into Power
the First Of Next Month New Re.
strctlons ConcerninR Sale Of Neat.

the First Of Next Month-New Re.
strictions Concerning Sale Of Meat.
A new era In the eating of sweet
meats, fowl and meat will dawn the
first Of next month when the new code
Of laws 60 into effect The laws re-
lating to adulteration will be Of in
estimable value to the people of Min,
nesota and 1t is hoped that other
states will follow soon in the matter
Of passing severe laws regarding the
adulteration Of candy.
Candy brilliantly colored with coal
tar dye will be outlawed at the end
of this month and merchants who
have It on hand have only two weeks
to dispose Of their supply.
The new code, which .goes into eff
feet March /, makes the use of coal
tar dye evidence Of adulteration and
subjects the manufacturer or seller
to fine, or imprisonment. Under the
old law 1t was up to the dairy and
food department to prove that the use
Of coal tar dye was Injurious. Al
though 1t is generally admitted that
the use Of the dye is Injurious to prove
this In court is not always an easy
matter.
1t is comparatively easy to detect
the presence of the dye and the COM
missioner says that the law will be
enforced without mercy. The law
says, mo person. shall manufacture
and sell adulterated confectionery;
and confectionery shall be deemed
adulterated If it contains terra alba,
barytes, tale, coal tar dye, or any
other poisonous or injurious coloring
matter, or any substance Injurious to
health" This will make misde-
meanor Of the sale of all candy not
made from pure ingredients and col
ored with anything else than vege-
table color.
Drawn Poultry.
Another paragraph in the code is
that relating to the sale of meat and
poultry. It states every person who
shall offer or expose for sale, at re-
tail, for human food, at any public
market, store, shop, or house, or in
or about any street. or other public
place, any domestic or wild fowls, or
any slaughtered rabbits, squirrels, or
other small animals, wild or tame, un-
less the eRtrails, crops and other Of
fensive parts are properly drawn out
and removed, shall be guilty of mis-.
demeanor."
Another section, which he will try
to enforce, relates to the transporta-
ton OF meat and reads: Every deal
er in slaughtered fresh meats, fish,
4 fowl or game for human food, at
wholesale or retail, at any establish
ed place or as a peddler, in the trans
portation of such food from place to
place to customers, shall protect the
same from dust, flies and. other. YER
min or substance which may Injurious
ly affect 1t, by securely covering it
while being transported. Every vio-
lation of the foregoing: provision shall
be misdemeanor, punishable by
fine Of not less than SO, or by i'm
prisonment in the coutny jail for not
less than ten days"
