he could not recognize. The mex:
season he heard the same peculiar

the original point. This time he 1den'

WORST MAMMALIAN PEST.
Department Of Agriculture Says j
Is the Rat-Methods Of
Destruction.

SSoS' eSs'S"
It costs American farmers probably
s100,0Oo,OO a year to feed rats.
Agricultural department experts
compute that the average cost OF
feeding a rat on grain is about t1fty
cents a year. If for each COW, horse
sheep and hog ON the farms OF the
United States the farmer supports
me rat on grain the cost would reach
the enormous total of s10O,0o0,ooo a
year. Even If half their food is
waste material the tax Of feeding rats
is still an enormous drain.
The Agricultural Department VIII
soon issue a comprehensive publica'
tion on Methods Of Destroying
Rats" This will show that the
brown rat is the worst mammalian
pest 1 existence, and in the United
States destroys more property than
all other noxious animals combined
This government publication will
show that the ravages of rats are
not confined to food. They enter
stores and warehouses and destroy
dry goods, lace curtains, carpets,
woollens, silks, kid gloves and other
leather goods. They gnaw through
lead pipes, flooding buildings with
water or filing them with gas. They
injure furniture and the foundations
and doors of buildings. They eat the
insulation from electric wires, thus
causing fires. The average fire loss
dn the United States due to defective
insulation is placed at s15.O0O,cOO an
nually, a considerable paIt Of Whlcn
is said to be caused by rats.
Rats destroy eggs ard Solng pool'
try, pigeons, game, birds AMI wild
song birds. They have been known
to kill young rabbits, pigs and Janus
and even to attack children.
In addition to the direct damage
rats are known tc be agents in carry
ing disease germs from house to
house and from city to city. BIbonlc
plague is usually carried from port
to port in this way-Washington

Cuticura Drove Sores Away.
sour little girl, one year and half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We took her to
three doctors, but by this time she was
nothing but yellow, greenish sore. One
morning we discovered a little yellow pln1.
pie on one of her eyes. Doctor no. 3 said
that we had better take her to some eye
specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we
went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he
said the eyesight was gone. We were near
ly discouraged, but l thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so purchased
set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me

had been sick about eight months, showed
great Improvement, and in one week all
sores had disappeared. Of course it could
not restore the eyesight, but if we had used
Cuticura in time, we are confident it would
have saved the eye. Mrs. Frank Abbott,

MISS HUI lDA kUGHLER

There is beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries cloud OF
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is damper to
all Joy and happiness when with her
family and friends.
It is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; if her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there IS
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness,
backache, headache, bearing down
pains, and irregularities, causing
constant misery and thelancholia,
she should remember that Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound q
made from native roots and herbs will
dispel all these troubles. BY correct
ing the cause of the trouble it cures

ficials Come Together in Verbal Combat Owe
Question of Law Raised by Defense
;THE COURT SEVERELY ADMONIsHED THE PROSECUTE
One of the Most During Seven Weeks
Trial of the Thaw Case.Mrs Thaw, Aged Mother of the
q Defendant. to be the Next Witness Called

New York, March 5.--What promis-
ed TO be very dull session of the
Thaw trial today was made notable
in the court annals of New York city
by District Attorney Jerome placing
himself in the position of openly de-
flying the presiding Judge. The dis
trict attorney declined point blank to
submit certain authorities to Justice
Fitzgerald on the ground that the
question Of law involved was so ele-
mental and the authorities so abund-
ant that he must assume the court to
have knowledge of them
Il have too much respect for the
courts of this jurisdiction. declared
the district attorney, "to submit au-
thorities on proposition so element
al"
Justice Fitzgerald admonisehd the
district attorney that it was his duty
to submit the authorities called for.
and said he would assume that the
district attorney declined to do so and
that he did not know of the existence
of any such authorities
The spectators were thrilled into
absolute silence during the tense mo-
ments of the extraordinary debate be-
tween the judge and the district at
torney Mr.. Jerome's manner of adj
dressing the court was as defiant as
his words. Justice Fitzgerald seemed
80 resains his judicial calm only with
great effort. The point under discus
sion was as to whether or not the dis
trict attorney on cross examination
could take wider scope than was
permitted council for the defense on
direct examination. Justice Fitzger-
aid finally sustained the position taken
by the defense. During the debate
which began between the district at
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1907-03-05

torney and Delmas, the latter char
acterized Jerome's remarks as "of-
fensive," and said they tended to lower
the standards and dignity Of the court.
Justice Fitzgerald interposed at this
point
During the debate, District Attorney
Jerome took occasion to declare that
the legal assumption before the court
Is that Thaw is now insane. He said the
defendant has been shown TO have been
insane on June % last, and it's assump-
tion of the law that he continues in
that condition until shown to be other
wise. Justice Fitzgerald at this point
called for authorities which precipitat-
ell the scene with the district at
torney.
The prospect that Mrs. William
Thaw. the white-haired mother of the
defendant, might be a witness today
at the trial of Harry K. Thaw, tended
to revive the interest in the hearing of
the case before Justice Fitzgerald.
DR.. Charles G. Wagner, superinten-
dent Of the state hospital for insane at
Ringhampton. n. Y, was recalled to the
stand and his examination con-
tinued. District Attorney Jerome be-
gan by reading the later part of DR..
Wagner's testimony of yesterday re-
garding the characteristics Of the brain
storm so as to take UP the line of ques-
tioning where II was left off. The wit
ness yesterday referred Jerome to an
instance Of brain storm cited in one of
the medical authorities, Today the
prosecutor asked If the alienist knew
of any other reported cases of brain
ss3rns
DR., Wagner said he could not recall
any off-hand. Thaw. who had brought
his customary batch of letters into
court with him, after a brief whispered
conversation with some of his counsel,
proceeded to read a large number of
the epistles He then began to write
IA letter. He was decidedly the least
interested spectator in the room.
