NATIONAL B.NkS IN THE SOUTH

An abstract of reports Of the con-
/ dtion of national banks lately issu-
/ ed by the comptroller Of the currency
shows a most gratifying condition
+ of such institutions in the South,
/ says the Manufacturers Record.
/ There are altogether 1895 national
| banks in this section, the state of
Texas containing the largest num-
/ Der, namely 473; in fact, there is
/ only one state in the Union which
( has more national banks than Texas.
/ and that is Pennsylvania, with a
total of 690 Including Oklahoma,
Indian Territory and Missouri. there
are 1868 national banks in the South
and Southwest. After Texas, Indian
Territory has the largest number in
this section, las; Kentucky is next,
with l2S; Oklahoma has 113, Mis-
souri, 1o7, Maryland 81, Virginia SIS,
West Virginia So, Georgia IS. Ala
bama II, Tennessee IS, North Caro-
lima 81 Louisiana and Florida 80
each, Arkansas, 33, South Carolina
%, Mississippi "a, Washington and
the District of Columbia IS
This section has altogether more
than three times as many national
banks as the New England states
and about 400 more than the Eastern
states. 1t has about as many as the
Middle West, nearly 700 more than
the Western states, and more than
six times as many as the Pacific
states
The loans and discounts of South
ern banks indicate closely the condi-
ton OF their business. the total
amounting to S55H,3G1.0G9 Iuclud-

PittsburE. Aug ATTORNEYS for

edly closed their case Tuesday. Attor-
neys for Mrs. Hartje obtained an adj
journment until Wednesday morning
TO prepare evidence in rehuttal
The trial was marked by some Wig
orous remarks from the bench to the
attorneys for Augustus Hartie when
they sought to explain through Detect
I've II W Muucey some discrepancy
between the detectives evidence and
that Of Andrew Fischer. who became
confused on oSs-eNamination. Judge
Frazer allowed the testimony TO be
given, but said that it was irregular,
and declared that the irregularity that
had been permitted throughout the
case would have weight when the
court made its decision
Augustus Hartje took the stand and
denied the blonde woman episode. and
that he had offered Nadine money TO
testify that man was at the Hartje
home alone with Mrs. Hartje while
Hartje was away Hartje admitted

them are in operation.

he can plant it in green peas, succul.

A little garden, if properly cared
for will save the city dweller many d
dollar.
But this is by no means the chiefest
good. Even if he has more money
than he knows what to do with, he
will still find such profit in welding
the spade and hoe for exercise. And
the rarest pleasure comes Of following
the primal instincts Of nature.
It is not alone the plants and flowers
we long for.

put our hands to work in the earth,
to bathe our bodies in the sunshine
and to open our souls in devotion to

tcrit, paying FIVE dollars for the priv
ilege.
Two new republican senatorial can
didates have announced themselves
this week. V. o. Soule and Peter
Scott. Both of them have platforms
in this issue of The Courant. They
declare against Hansbrough and Nc
Kenzie and for the extension of the
primary election law. These two
candidates entering the field make the
contest three cornered one and there
is no doubt but what it will be a
spirited affair, although friendly one
as far as can he learned. If it should
turn out to be anything but friendly
the blame will fall to a large extent
on the central committee for attempt
ing to defeat the intent of the pri-
mary election law. The action of the
central committee in naming a dele
cation is being generally condemned
and 1t will prove serious handicap
to the men on their list.
It is said that the gang will start
a mudthrowing campaign against A.
NJ. Grant in the interest of Will Free
man. But it is generally conceded
that they cant make much inroad on
his strength. Be on the lookout for
campaign lies.
The editor of the News or any other
person who says that The Couran-
editor has said he will vote for demr
ocrat instead of DR.. johnson deliber-
ately lies. If the doctor is nominated
he will have the vote aud support of
the writer. But such falsehoods cir
culated by the doctor friends will not
help his candidacy.
Falkenstein says that as between
going to congress and going to the
Jimtown asylum he will choose the
former. But the trouble is that he
may not have anything to say about it.
1t would seem that Falky is going
to turn his paper into muck-rake
sheet. with Helgerson and Grant as
the first victims.
The News is worried about the re-
port that A. M. Grant rides on pass.
Will the News explain how V. B..
Noble got his pass2 Is he connected
with that paper1 Come out in the
open now.

PICKRELL-D BUNKER.

On Tuesday morning cupid paid
another visit to the City of Bottineau
and caught two of Bottineau's popular
young people in his wiley meshes,
from which there was no escape. The
young couple in question were Amos
T. Pickrell and Miss. Lora bunker.
The former has been a builder and
contractor in the city and county for
several years, and is very much res-
pected. Miss bunker has been a
teacher in the public school for several
terms and is also highly esteemed.
At 8 80 a. m. at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Sawyer the Rev.
Chas. E. White read the beautiful ring
ceremony of the ritual of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church which made
the young couple one. The ceremony
was performed in bower of plum
blossom sprays and violets. The lady
attendants were Mrs. Dochterman OF
Williston, formerly of Bottineau, Miss
Caroline Pickrell and Miss Elenor
Bunston each bearing large bunch
of tea roses. After the usual con-
gratuls tions, the company sat down to
sumptuous wedding breakfast tastily
prepared by the hostess, Mrs. w. A.
Sawyer.
The many friends Of the young
couple had we'll remembered them by
their. generous gifts of cutlery and
silver ware. They left on the morn
ing train, Miss Bunston accompanying
them to prove up their claim in Will
liams county.
Their many friends wish them a
successful voyage and much joy.

LIoyd's Capers

In order to injure The Courant
Lloyd Wells telegraphed. his paper at
Garrison that this paper had turned
democratic He also instructed his
man to say nothing about state issues.
He evidently came to the conclusion
that he could not advocate one thing
in Mclean county and another in
Bottineau county. However Mr..
Wells cannot lie enough to injure The
Courant, as its republicanism is never
questioned by fair minded people.

FOR SENATOR.

II After consulting several leading re-
pubilcans of Bottineau county, 1 have
decided to become a candidate for the
Republican nomination for State Sen
ator, and submit the following as my
platform: .-.... .....
{. am opposed to the present State
Machine led by Mckenzie and Hans
brough and believe that change of
leaders would be beneficial both from
political and moral standpoint.
. am opposed to the reelection of
Senator Hansbrough.
/ will oppose any attempt to enact
another capitol commission law as
long as the present machine is in
power.
II favor the extension of the primary
election law. to include State, Congress
sional and Judicial officers. I also
favor the election of U. s. Senators by
the people.
I favor the repeal of the notorious
Streeter libel law.
I will favor anything that the
Legislature has power to do towards
wiping out the railroad pass evil.
1 will use all honorable means
towards getting an appropriation fol
the School Of Forestry at Bottineau.
On this platform solicit the support
Of the republicans of Bottineau county.
As entered the field so late in the
Urinary campaign, it will be impos
sible for me to personally consult with
very many of the voters, but will ap'
pleciate any support that my friends
may see fit to extend.

FOR FREE ALCOHOL
Plansfor Distillation under
the New Bill---Will be
of Advantage to the
West.

Washington. May 20. - Secretary
Wilson, of the agricultural department
and DR.. Wiley, government chemist.
are anxious to have congress appropri-
ate $25, 1000 for experiments in connce-
tion with plants obtaining alcohol,
and it is likely that as result of a
letter Secretary Wilson will send to
congress next week, joint resolution
will be introduced carrying the sum
named.
1t is the idea of the secretary that
experts from the department. ought to
go to Europe this year with a view to
finding out just what plants are used
in the countries there in connection
with the distillation of alcohol, and
introducing the best of those plants
into the United States.
In Germany. for instance, the alco-
hol potato is large white potato. not
especially desirable for eating pur-
poses, but yielding almost twice as
many busnels an acre as other varieties
and twice as much alcohol to the
bushel. It is obviously important to
have that potato for use in this
country.
Similarly. the secretary wants to
experiment with corn and cornstalks,
and do much work which will help the
farmers and distillers put the new free
alcohol law into successful operation.
Commissioner Yerkes, who is to
draw up the regulations under which
alcohol is to be manufactured, also
wants to send agents abroad to get hold
of the rules adopted by France, Ger.
many and other free acohol countries
for guarding the revenues.
DR.: Wiley has made several trips
abroad and is familiar with the char.
acters Of the distilleries in European
countries. He will be freely con-
suited by Commissioner Yerkes.
Secretary Wilson ia inclined te
think that. the free alcohol law will
work to best advantage for the farmers
in the mixed farming countries Of the
middle west. where the cattle country
overlaps the corn country, and where.
also, sugar heets can be grown success.
fully. This is true he says, because
the by products Of the distilleries can
be used for food for cattle, thus re.
ducing the cost of distillation. Large
numbers of cattle can be shipped to the
distilliug centers and there prepared
for market
