A movement has been started In
the scientific world favoring the
adoption of the word Kelvin to des-
ignate the commercial unit of cleo

kilowatt-hour, as recognition of the
services of the late Lord Kelvin to
electrical science.
Milking by machinery, introduced
last year on a large diary farm near
Nottingham, Eng, has proved highly
successful. The machine is a Scotch
invention and is operated by gas
engine. The entire plant is worked

that DR.. e. c. Shredder, of the Bu-

progress has greatly lessened its eff
fects, for, since Negri's discovery in
1903 of the distinguishing micro-or-
ganisms in the nerve cells, the dis
ease is early recognizable, and the
Pasteur treatment is effective in cur
ing it. The mortality of sixty and
eighty per cent. in untreated bites on
hands and head has been reduced to
O.75 and 1.25 per cent.

Great Injustice Done Him.

1t was not until many friends of
Poe in life, many of those who knew
his true life in many of the places
mentioned by Griswold as scenes of
incredible debauchery, began their
campaign to clear his memory that
the world saw the possibility that it
had done the greatest of American
literary geniuses tragic injustice.
Enemies said that he starved and
beat his wife in order to hasten her
death, so that by studying her pangs
he might get material for exact de-
scription. Yet her mother, Mrs.
GLENN, who lived with the pair dur
ing their married life and who knew
how deeply the poet loved her, bore
indignant witness to the slander of
these stories, and responded with a
hundred others in rebuttal, showing
the mans affection, the care he had
for his wife, of how he cooked her
meals In her illness, when poverty
had brought them near actual starva-
ton.
Mrs. GLENN showed that 1t was the
death of his wife that overthrow Poe's
reason and became the direct cause
of the fits of drunkenness that finally
resulted in his death.
Women who knew him spoke of
the peculiarly chivalric manner in
which he treated the gentler sex, and
his man friends told of his reserve
and modesty and the unaffected hu-
mility as to his own deserts as a
writer.

new FACTORY
FOR BISMARCK
FOR CEMEN
BARRELS AND HOLLOW WARE
TO BE BUILT HERE.

A. G.. Peterson of Hankinson, who
has been in the city for several days
in the interest of his patent cement
hollow ware, has interested several
local business men in the project and
a company will probably be formed
for the manufacture on large scale
of these goods. Mr.. Peterson is the
patentee of the process, and the sam
pie barrel exhibited at the First Ma
tional bank corner has excited consid-
cradle interest.
In this process all kinds of recep-
tacles for liquid or solid substances
are made out of reinforced concrete,
the utensil being solid, strong, non
porous and capable of lasting long
time They are invaluable for num-
Der of uses, and it is thought the sale
of them would be large in this section
as they are useful on the farm as well
as for use in stores and the home.
Some years ago Mr.. Peterson had a
farm north of town, and is pleased
that Bismarck people have interested
themselves in the invention, as he de-
sires to come back here to live
The new factory will employ num-
Der of men and will add materially to
Bismarck's trade exports.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL
TEACHERS Meeting

Yesterday afternoon the rural
teachers in the southwest portion of
Burleigh county met with the county
superintendent in the court house to
organize for regular meetings there
this summer. Mr.. Fitch, teacher at
Menoken, was chosen president, and
Deputy County Superintendent Nellie
Evarts, secretary. The president was
empowered to appoint program com
mittee. After these business matters
were disposed of the regular program,
which was published in yesterdays
Tribune, was carried out. The cen
trail object of study in this program
was "The Teacher" and many very
suggestive hints were given by the
teachers. Mrs. Larson rendered a
beautiful solo with Mrs. M. w. Roam as
accompanist.
A unique feature of this meeting
was the presence of three ex-county
superintendent, namely, Judge Win
chester, Mrs. Quain and Mrs. Ev-
arts. Each of these helped to maxi
the meeting both helpful and interest
ing, and the writer feels free to voice
the sentiment of all the teachers by
stating that standing invitation to
come again is herewith extended.

DELIGHTFUL
MISS SATTERLUND'S SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS ENTERTAiNS A
LARGE AUDIENCE.

The entertainment given by Miss
Hilda Satterlunds Sunday school class
Friday evening was very successful
in ever yway. Nearly 200 people
were present when the class marched
on the stage for the opening song,
Sweet and Low" 1t was heartily
encored, as it deserved. Hortense
Moore rendered in very brilliant
manner, "Valse Arabesque," which
was followed by pretty trio, Milking
Time" by Misses Clara Tatley, Marion
Newton and Laura keenan,. Misses
Elizabeth Remington and Florence Nc
Gillis played duet, "Etude Mazur-
ka," and they certainly displayed great
proficiency.
Miss Clara Tatley sang "The Mill''
to the delight of her listeners, and
Misses Jessie Webb, Jeanette VOL
bert and Florence McGillis in the pi
ano trio, Dance of the Demons,
closed in a brilliant manner the mu-
steal part of the program. Miss
Elizabeth Remington accompanied in
the chorus and Miss Jessie Webb in
the trio and solo.
The play, "a Pan Of Fudge" was
then given, and each of the girls por
trayed the character they represented
Laura keenan, and Elsie Smith a:
chums took their parts well Carrie
Haugen represented the studious CIR
to perfection. Hortense Moore AM
Jessie Webb as the mischievous twin:
furnished the fun, and Lucille Dab
played her part of a new French teach
er very successfully.
The girls cleared about $40, which
will go to the chapel fund.

COUPLE lNAUGURATED ON 1ST
INST. OUT OF UNDERWOOD.


Underwood, N D., April 4.-Begin-
ming on the LIST inst, the first rural
mail routes to run out of Underwood
were put into service. There are two
routes, one running west to the Han
cock and Weller neighborhoods, and
the other one northeast toward the
Darling and Malcolm neighborhoods.
The service is every other day, one on
each route, and the carrier is M. H.
Standish, who oficiates as Uncle
Sans hired man on each line. This
is a great boon to the residents along
the new lines, and there is much re
joicing thereat.

no more important matter before

A Fireman: Some of the present
candidates for aldermen voted
against city hall. Some of the
other candidates were not aldermen
then but are on the ticket opposed
to the city hall. Suppose you were
cheated out of your rights-cheated
out of your new home, through the
treachery of certain men? Wouldn't
you use your influence and vote
against these men? Monday is cleo
ton day-remember your duties as
citizen of Bismarck and fireman.

Company: On behalf of Pioneer
Fire Company we again ask the fire
men of the city to assist us in Sc
curing the election Monday of such

: Harvey Herald: C. B. Little, cam

doing it by attending to his own cam

A gracious result of the study Of
immigration is seen in the increase
of interest in the bible work among
immigrants. In the rush and hurry
that prevails at Ellis Island, New

children under age, can neither read

l do not see how any can denounce
corruption in office and yet insist on
making an exception of the one man
who has done more to pollute and de-
grade politics in Texas, and the ideas
concerning the obligations of public
officer, than all other men combined.
This campaign is warming up all
over the state. The alignment will be
as tense as was the alignment of 1860.
We do not care now, whether the sol
der in that fierce area wore the blue
or the gray. If he acted bravely and
according to his convictions, we all
honor him today. But no man who
hid away in the big thicket, or in Jer-

any man.
