College Location Not Settled
At the Presbyterian Synod of North
Dakota held at Fargo, the college
matter was taken up at the Saturday
e,n'ng meeting and much discus
SION as to.sthe adv,sability .ot al1ilia-
tion with other schools was indulged

when "a motion was introduced to
affiliate with the state university.
This motion was lost and the pre-
vailing sentiment was for the erec-
tion of presbyterian.college within
the state. No..discussion was reached
with regard to site or place, the
whole matter being referred to the
trustees, who will make their report
at the next meeting of the synod
which will be held in Bismarck in

Nv live STOCK BOARD
Held Meeting at State Capital.
Efforts 10 Eradicate
Disease.

The State Live Stock Sanitary
board held a meeting last week at
the capitol and transacted consid
cradle business.
The members of the. board present
we're: Dugald Campbell, Secretary
W. L. Richards, DR.. J. W. Robinson,
E. j. Walsh, Andrew Veitch, Drs.
Crewe and Van Els, the latter the
bacteriologist of the board; and Drs.
Treacy and S. E. Cosford of the
United States animal industry
bureau.
Reports we're made of the progress
made in the last five months,or since
the board was organized, which
showed :hat during that time 464
horses had been condemned for glan-
ders and $50 quarantined. There
were also reported several local cpl
denies of horse mango, many Of the
animals being treated with crude
petroleum. The prevalence of this
disease is still extensive in spots in
the state.
The reports also --showed.that. about
$4,000 head Of cattle we're fou nd
afflicted or exposed to scabies, and Of
these 10, 100 we're dipped in crude oil
and the balance in lime and sulphur.
According to the report sthe sheep
of the state are very heal thy. In one
band of $1,000 inspected, 200 were
found with scabies. These were
treated and quarantined, and there
are now no, diseased sheep in the
state.
There was one outbreak of hog
cholera in Cass county, but that is
now under control.
The unusual expense of the war on
glanders has exhausted the appropri-
alton of the board and it will find it
necessary to ask help Of the emer-
eency boald iE order that the fight
may be continued until the disease
is stamped out, which the :board
thinks may be soon, under the ener-
getic warfare now being carried on. :
By comparison with the old veter-
mary law the board believes the
present system is less Expensive .and
the quality of the work done is
better.

there was plenty Of free lunch and
the auctioneer was jolling the crowd

Disease-Its Nature and Cure.
BY DR.. w. r. G. I.ateOn in St. Paul News

Most people think that disease is a
misfortune-a bad thing. AS a mat.
ter of fact it is nothing Of the kind.
Disease is good thing. It is not an
enemy to be conquered: but friend
to be welcomed and helped.
Explain? Certainly.
In the first place, you must know
that the matter we eat is not all food
but is partly waste-useless matter.
Again you must remember that the
body is constantly breaking down and
dying and throwing off the old parts,
just as tree drops it's leaves in the
fall.
Well, the total waste made up Of
the waste contained in the food and
that made by the dying body-this
ought to be promptly thrLwn out of
the body; and for that purpose we have
the skin, the lungs, the bowels and
the kidneys, each of which gets rid Of
a certian kind Of waste.
But when these organs do not do
their work-when the skin is clogged: ::
when the breathing is shallow and the
air breathed already laden with poi
son; when the kidneys cannot do their
work for lack of water; and the
functions do not act-what then?
Why, then there is accumulation of
waste in the body. Now this waste is
poisonous; and the body makes every
possible effort to throw it off: And
these efforts we call disease. That's
all now you can understand, can you
not, that these efforts at throwing off
excessive waste ought to be encourage
ed that to oppose disease" to con-
slider it an enemy to be conquered-.is
to take an entirely false position re-
garding it.
To take an instance; You have a
cold, with much secretion and cough.
The cold is simply one Of the many
| ways in which the body tries to get
| rid of its waste. The coughing is the
part of the process. 1t is easy to stol
the process: but what if we do? Why
the retained matter remains. in the
system, and sets up other and more
serious conditions. There is little
doubt that many cases of tuberculosiI
and pneumonia arise from the unwise
control" Of caughs and colds.
II, instead Of dosing with dope.ladel
scough drops" the sufferer woult
stop eating for a day, or even two
drinking meantime lots of water; i
he woald encourage in every possible
way, elimination from the skin, lung
and kidneys; If he would, meantim.
get all the exercise possible in the
open air and keep his mind easy-thel
theicold would pass off rapidly, leav
ing no threatening conditions in it
wake.
| And what is true OF cold applies
in theory, to all other diseases; for
while symptoms and methods o.
treatment may, and in fact must, vary
| widely, all disease is essentially OF the
same nature, and should be treated ir
accordance with the same fundamen
tai principles.

that EXTRA ASSESSMENT
Of Alliance Hail Association Sim.
ply Made as Required
by Law.


taken to censure the Alliance Hail
associa tion management on account
of the extra assessment of 24 per
cent to. provide for the hail losses of
the season. The Bulletin says that
the Associations bylaws has some
loop hole by which this extra assess
ment has been made. There is no
loop hole in the by laws at all. The
old by laws of ..the association were
required to be changed by the insur-
ance commissioner to conform with
the insurance laws. The old by laws
provided for pro rata payments where
the full amount Of the premium
notes did not provide for the full
payment of losses and the insurance
commissioner called the attention of
the association to the fact that in
this respect its bylaws were in con-
aict with the state insurance law,
and required the association at the
annual meeting last January. to
make its bylaws conform with the
state law. The association had SIM
ply to do this or 60 out of business
and had no choice in the matter ex-
cept to fix the amount of the liabil-
ity and made it the least amount in
the bylaws that could be made
: under the statute. namely one extra
premium. This is--all that can, lin any
event ever be assessed extra against
a policy holder and it is extremely
unlikely that any such disastrous
hail year to require this will ever
occur. This year where the addition
al contingent liability has been fixed
at "a per cent has been the heaviest
year for losses in the seventeen that
the association has done business In
the state. ....
Acting under the bylaws amended
to conform with the state law this
additional.2 a per cent vas s..leHied.
Before casting reflections apon the
management of the hail association
it will be we'll for parties to look up
the law of the state in..regard to the
requirements of mutual insurance
companies. The older farmers OF the
state who have personal knowledge
of the disastrous work of hail storms
in some seasons, are not so much in
clined to criticise the association
as the newer settlers and Younger re-
sidents who have not bad the same
experience.
All mutual companies in the state
both fire and hail, are required to
operate under this sane law, and it
was passed by the legislature for the
protection. Of policy holders to meet
just such emergencies as have oc'
Cured this year in the hail company.

Elevator Ful1-P. D. Walsh Of
Courtenay Is transacting business in
the city Wednesday. Mr.. Walsh is
one of the stockholders OF the Farm
ers.. Elevator Co. at Courtenay, and
states that their large $4,000 bushel
house has been full of grain for sew
eral DAYS, and that scarcity of cars
for shipment is.already fouud..at.that
place. The present difference be.
tween cash and future grain mark
cts, makes.the purchase Of grain by
elevators precarious matter this:

There is usually sufficient mar
gin between cash prices and futures
whereby elevator men can hedge, by
selling wheat to arrive. This yeaf
there is no such opportunity to op-
crate with safety, especially as a car
shortage seems at hand, for buyers
along the 500 line. The Farme,s
Elevator Co. is seriously considering
closing down their elevator, for the
present.. until the car situation can
be more definitely determined.
High rates of interest on money for
payment of grain also make It a

with her husband to North Dakota
in 1882 and. settled on a homestead
six miles..south of Spiritwood where
they together battled heroically with
unfavorable conditions for ten years.
In 1892 Mr.. and Mrs. Greene came
to Jamestown. purchasing the city
hospital where they have since re-
!! sided, doing what they could for the
relief of suffering humanity. 1t made
no difference to her whether rich,
poor, highly respected or .outcast all
were used alike, the one great ques-'
tion ever in her mind was "can l
tighten the burden and thereby re-
lieve the sorrow of this afflicted one. ("
She was a tireless worker with her
patients and knew how to cheer
them with her own good nature ever
thoughtful of the needs and comfort
| of others.
She was in her earlier life a sue
cessfu] school teacher, and at one
tt ne manager Of a large business firm
