FLOWING IN ENGLAND WITH IN.
DUSTRIAL ALCOHOL.

One of the possible uses of indus
trial or denatured alcohol in this coun-
try will be the use of this fuel for
plowing and work of like nature on
the farm. In farmers bulletin 269, Dr.
H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, Washington, d. c., Illus
trates and describes the methods of
plowing that has been used success
fully in England. Owing to the fact
that this material has been a great
deal cheaper in Great Britain than in
this country on account OF the United
States revenue tax of $2.0S a gallon,
there has not been a great inspiration
to study the possibilities of this fuel
as motive power on the farm. AS il
lustrated, DR.. Wiley shows how the
alcohol motor may take the place of
the horse or steam in prOpelling the
plow To what extent alcohol will be
used in this country for similar pur-
poses as yet remains to be seen.

Cheerful Advice.

A number Of railway men were once
discussing the question of accidents.
"The roads in Scotland said one of.
fetal, used to have bad name, in
deed, in respect to accidents. No one
thought Of embarking on railway
journey unless ne had provided him
self with an accident policy of insur'
ance.
THE famous DR.. Norman Macleod
was once about to set off on a journey
through the Scotch country. Just as
the train was pulling out the clergy
mans servant put his head in through
the window and said:
"'Ha'e ye ta'en an insurance ticket
sir?'
"I have replied the doctor.
Then continued the servant
write yeer name on it and gle it te

New Lamps for Old.

Johnny's dog, Tige, was nuisance.
His pet theory must have been that all
things were created to be destroyed
at least, so his practices indicated.
Johnny's folks were anxious to be rid
of Tige, and at last they decided to
work upon the lads affections with
lucre.
Johnny" said his father one day
'T1l give you S. if you'll get rid Of that
dog"
Johnny gasped at the amount, swal.
lowed hard at thought Of Tige, and
said he would think it over.
The next day at dinner he made the
iaconic announcement: "Pa, got rid
Of Tige."
'Well, I certainly am delighted to
hear It," said the father. Here's
your money; you've earned it. How
did you get rid of the nuisance?'
Traded him to Bill Simpkins for
two yellow pups" answered Johnny.

VAST LEVELS OF ARGENTINA.
Traversed by Wagons Fifty Feet Long
and Fifteen Feet Wide.


and Fifteen Feet Wide.
The pampas of Argentina, so far as
an absolute level is concerned, are
said to exceed any other large area in
the world. One railroad runs 180
miles without an inch of curve, and 1t
might have continued in the same way
for twenty-five miles further.
The wagons used in this level coun-
try are fifty feet long in some cases
and from twelve to fifteen feet wide.
The rear wheels are from twelve to
fourteen feet in height and the drivers
seat twenty feet or more from the
ground. The horses used to draw
these wagons sometimes number as
many as three-score to a vehicle.
The principal idea of such a large
wagon is to have something that will
not be engulfed by the mud during the
rainy season and the dust of the dry
season of the bottOmless roads of the
pampas, and it also has its economical
advantage in country where men are
scarce and horses plentiful.

ONE QUESTION IN DISPUTE
John Lind Not Sure Where Head Of
River Navig alton Is.

The st. Peter Tribune says The st.
Peter Herald is mistaken when it says
the Minnesota river has been declared
umnavigable. 1t is as much a navi-
gable steam now as it ever was, and
Hon. John Lind told the writer few
years ago the only question of dis
pute is whether the head of naviga-
ton is in Hudson Bay or at Lake
Traverse 1t is true, however, that
the state legislature passed a law in
1901, when John Peterson was senator,
allowing the construction of bridges,
but providing, also, that below the city
of st. Peter, they must be provided
with suitable draw, with an opening
Iof not less than eighty feet, which on
reasonable signal or notice, shall be
opened to allow the passage of boats
navigating the river. OF course, the
legislature could also pass law abol-
ishing the constitution of the United
States.

STUNC BY DIVORCE BUG
SEPARATIONS ARE ON THE IN
CREASE IN cHicAGQ.
Great Many Family Skeletons Drag
sed Before the Public, Oeser-
tions Often the Cause.

Chicago has been stung by the
divorce bug. Domestic infelicities as
aired in the Cook County courts have
increased at startling ratio in the
past SIX weeks, and the divorce re-
cords as compared with the records of
the marriage license office indicate
that the alimony bug now has Dan
Cupid on the defensive.
Cold figures, based upon the num-
Der of bills for divorce filed in the
circuit and superior courts last week,
and the number of marriage licenses is
sued by the county clerk, hold forth
the somewhat startling fact that the
proportion of divorces granted in Cook
County is 10 per cent of the marriage
licenses issued.
This information was regarded yes
terday as almost incredible by judges
presiding over the chancery courts and
by lawyers long engaged in divorce
litigation.
Nevertheless, Chicago's story of do
nestle strife is set forth in undisputed
terms on the public records.
These show that while Cupid last
week made 634 persons happy, the
divorce courts directed a body blow at
the little god of love by granting to
ninety-siX persons DEGREES of separa-
ton, thus making the average little
more than Is per cent.
90. ha C,,norinr co,Irt
show a decided increase in divorce
litigation During the week there were
filed in that court eighty-seven chan
Gerry suits, sixty one of which were APP
plications for divorce. OF the sixty
three chancerv suits filed in the circuit
court during the week thirty-fve were
divorce bills.
During the same period one year ago
the total number of divorce bills filed
in both courts was seventy three. The
increase has come within the past six
weeks, and has caused clerks of court
attaches employed as aids of the d.
vorce mill to gasp with establishment.
Judge Ball, now sitting in chancery
in the superior court, explained last
evening that approximately so per
cent of applications for divorce are
based on the charge of desertion. Then
come habitual drunkenness and cruel
ty, which charges usually accompany
each other, while but small percen-
tage of suits marital freedom are
based on the allegations of unfaithful-
ness.
Failure to ask decree of divorce
on the latter charge, however, often,
is due to the desire on the part of the
applicant to keep hidden the family
skeleton. and to substitute one of the
minor charges, evidence of which is
never difficult to obtain.

HAD A ROLL ON PERSON
YET PERMITTED HIMSELF TO
STARVE TO DEATH.
John Mooney Was a Wealthy and
Misery Land Owner in North
Dakato, Found Dead.

Jamestown, n. d., Oct. 30.-Starva-
ton, exposure and exhaustion caused
the death of John Mooney, wealthy
but misery land owner of Stutsman
county, who was found dead beside an
unfrequented road, fourteen miles
northwest of jamestown. Upon his
person was found certificates of de-
post representing $4,000.
Mooney was seen alive last when
visiting the farmhouse of renter on
one of his own farms. He left there
in the evening and was returning to
his house when, overcome by weak
ness about a quarter of a mile from
the house, he lay down near the side
of the road and there miserably ex-
pired. When found the body was
lying fiat on its back.
Mooney was poorly clad. He wore
an old, threadbare coat and thin
overcoat. His cap was lying few
feet away from the body.
John Mooney was a we'll known
character in Stutsman and Sheldon
counties, noted for his wealth and eX-
IRENE penuriousness. He came in the
pioneer days to Sheldon, working on
the Fargo & Southwestern railway as
a section laborer and there he got his
start, saving nearly every cent he
earned.
Later he came to- jamestown and
accumulated money and land in the
county, shrewd investments in mort
cages bringing profits, but his eX-
penses were on an inverse ratio to his
income.
He spent last winter in room over
a store of this city and boosted that
his expenses for food were less than
10 cents a day.
Besides bank deposits, Mooney own
ed nearly 1000 acres of valuable land
in Stutsmah county, lying mostly in
sections and 8, townships 40, range
90 and also had large open ac-
count in a jamestown bank
1t is believed by some that he had
other valuables hidden away. 1t is
reported that in accordance with the
terms of the will large portion of
the wealth will 60 to the Catholic
church.
Mooney was about sixty-fve years
old and left no relatives in this vi
cinity.

PAWN CHAIN; BUY STOCK
ADVICE OF E. n. HARTMAN, THE
WIZARD.
Storm Has Cleared, Recovery Al
ways Works Out Well; False Struc-
lures Have Crumbled.

New York, Oct. 3O.-"We have
passed through a trying time. We have
seen the stucco front of character flake
away and disappear. We have seen
false structures crumble. 1t has been a
great illumination and the lesson is
that the sturdy methods of the fore
fathers are the best; the pursuit of
'isms' chimerical"
This was the way in which E. H.
Hartman expressed himself in talking
in his office with reporter about the
recent financial furry. He added:
81 think the storm has cleared. I
have seen many of them. Recovery is
matter of conjecture so far as time
is concerned, but it always works out
eventually. ! think the time is not
far distant when we shall look back on
this present stormy season, consider
the price of gilt-edged securities and
then wonder why we did not pawn our
watch chains and buy stocks"
