three green painted safes fast locked !;

CARING FOR THE TYPHOID
PATIENT

Avoid a relapse with a convalescing
typhoid patient if possible. The sec
ond attack is worse than the first gen
orally as the patient is already weak
ened by a siege of fever The two
things to do is, first to keep the patient
quiet, that is, not to walk about the
room. but to stay in bed week after
the fever has left. In this way you
get strong. before they are put to ac-
tive use again.
The diet must be kept strictly fluid
or semi fluid for one week after the
fever has left. BY semi fluid I mean
very soft-boiled eggs. milk toast, and
well-made soups, strained.
The patients strength should be in
creased by giving a milk punch once
a day. that is a glass of milk contain

The governor has approved the
bill creating a new Judicial district
west Of the river, taking that part
of the present Sixth district lying
on the other side of the Missouri
and making the Tenth district.
This limits the Sixth districtto the
counties of Burleigh, Emmons,
Kidder and Mclean and will con-
siderably reduce the labors of the
Judge of the Sixth district. At the
present time, the Sixth is a district
of magnificent distances, and the
h~ardships of travel to all parts of
it are not uncomfortable. At the
present rate Of increase in popula-
ton of the territory now compris-
ing the Sixth district, two years
will work a considerable enlarge
ment of the business, and as the
new judge Of the Tenth district is
not to be elected for two years:
the regular election in 19O8-con-
ditions will then no doubt warrant
the addition Of district Judge to
a much greater extent than at the
present time.-Tribune.

Nick Huff, we'll known in this
vicinity, was arrested by Deputy
Dan Jones, at his homestead near
Henry Hellmann's place on Tues
day morning. Huff is charged
with horse stealing, and the al
legged facts are as follows:
In June, 1906, three horses be-
longing to Emil Marohl and Gust
|Giese, who live north of Denhof,
disappeared. Several weeks passed
when these parties were notified
that their horses were in the posses
sion of a liveryman at Portal, on
the Canada line. Marohl and
Giese went to Portal and identified
the animals and on investigation
it was found that the horses had
been shipped from Velva, but on
arriving at Portal there was no one
to receive them. The agent at that
place kept the horses for several
days, and then turned them over
to the liveryman, who after in
quiring found the proper owners.
The agent at Velva, SO it is alleged
says that Nick Huff is the person
who billed the horses out.
Huff has resided for several years
in this part of the county, and
proved up on his homestead last
summer. This winter he was one
Of the party that went to Cuba,
where he purchased land, and was
to have moved to his new home in
about two weeks. He has always
borne a good reputation in Den
hof, and his arrest was a great
surprise to everyone here.
