Contempt Charge.
The fight Of Kermit and Noonan.
for the possession of a postofice has
resulted in the summoning Of the
town officials Of the former place to
appear before Judge Goss, in the dis
trict court at Minot. to answer to .
charge of contempt of court.
The limits of the towns adjoin. but
Noonan at present has the postoface,
while Kermit is possessed with
burning desire to capture the federal
mail station. In order to do so, it is
alleged, the people of Kermit called .
special election to vite upon the ques-
ton of the annexation of that part of
Noonan containing the much coveted
poston1ce. The people of Noonan
claimed that the Kermit plan did not
include any of the land in Noonan on
which residences stood, and that
therefore they were deprived Of .
right to vote upon question of vital
interest to themselves. Some days
ago they applied to Judge Goss for an
injunction prohibiting the holding Of
the election. It is claimed that tho
Injunction papers were served, but
that no attention was paid to the
courts order and that the election was
proceeded with. The Noonan parti-
sans brought this fact to the attention
of Judge Goss, who issued an order
commanding the ohicials upon whom
the Injunction was served to appear
and show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt.
The citizens Of Kermit allege that
the only claim the people of Noonan
have to the postoface is the fact that
the town is named after man who
was the father of eight boys. and that
they think the president will stand
with them because Of his anti-race sui.
eide proclivities."
On the other hand the people Of
Noonan charge that the people of Ker-
NIT named their town after one Of the
presidents sons, thinking that by do
ing so they would gain some influence

Asks Change Of Venue.
Sioux Falls, s. D., May 12.-It be-
came definitely known last night that
when the case Of Mrs. Emma Kauf-
mann, charged with the murder Of her

trial in the state circuit court in this
city, which is expected to be some
time early in the coming week, the de.

TELLS HOW TO MIX RECIPE
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Re-
 markable Home Mixture.

A we'll known authority on Rheumatism gives the readers of large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces.
 Mix by shaking we'll in bottle and take teaspoonful after each meal and and at bedtime.
 lie states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being of vegetable ex traction, are harmless to take.
 This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, II any, dImiuishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained. and without injury to the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines. etc, some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results and the above will, no doubt be great Fly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time.
 Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighborhood elicits the ln- formation that these drugs are harmless and can be bought sep arately, or the druggists will mix the prescription for our readers if asked to.
