Interesting Speech.

Governor John Burke spoke last
night before the largest audience
ever assembled in Washburn to
hear a political speech. His talk
was very interesting to all and he
stated many facts concerning the
policies adopted by the democratic
platform. He told of a time when
Senator Dolliver of Iowa was his
guest and when asked what he
would like to do after lunch, said
he would enjoy going to the capt.
tol and meeting the state officials
Gov. Burke said he was almost
ashamed to tell him that he could
not have that pleasure as only the
governor resided in the capitol
city. While in Washburn the
governor was a guest at the Mann
residence. He left for Bismarck
this afternoon.

tinue their journey.
Mr.. Fairman went up town and
visited several Of the stores and
hearing the train whistle hurried
back to the depot and as he was
walking along the platform he fell

service. I shall rest here in this
splendid invigorating climate and
put myself in trim for the next
senatorial campaign. My views
in regard to political affairs have
not changed in single instance.
| am opposed to the domination of
our politics by corporations, and
especially do I believe that the
most hurtful influence in this
regard is that which is exercised
by the farm machinery trust. North
Dakota is an agricultural state.
The dissolution of the monopoly
in farm machinery is therefore all
the more important, and the activ-
ity in our politics Of the agents of
this combination all the more dan
gerous. The corporations them
selves are making a great mistake
in mixing up in our state primaries
and conventions. The people as a
whole are not fighting corporations
as such. They are simply opposed
to the methods which some of
these powerful concerns have cho-
sen to adopt in an effort to protect
themselves against an imaginary
foe. There should be no antago.
nisms between the people and the
combined elements Of wealth such
! as We have witnessed in recent
years, and there would be none il
the corporations were content tc
serve The public in Legitimate
and lawful way, instead of inter.
fering in our politics for the pur'
pose Of controlling legislation ir

James Swan of Minneapolis,
superintendent of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, a
brother of Mrs. Fairman, arrived
on No. Thursday night to attend
the funeral.
Isaac Fairman was born in Lon
donderry, county Donegal, Ireland
on February 2, 1889. In 1859 he
married Miss Martha Swan from
which marriage one son, Samuel
Fairman was born. He lived in
Belfast. County Armagh, Ireland,
for ten years and then moved to
Manchester, England, where he
resided for ten years. In 1880 he
emigrated to the United States
and resided in New York City for
three years, coming to Burleigh
county in 1883 and settling in
Painted Woods where he was re-
siding at the time of his death.
Mr.. Fairman was a man of retiring
disposition, but was highly re.
spected by all who knew him and
had the confidence of the com.
munity in which he lived.

personal duty to advance the gen
eral welfare and much good is
done by individuals in that man
ner.
The town has a good weekly
paper and couple Of fair hotels.
It also has some Of the most pro-
gressive land dealers in the, United
States. One firm, johnson &
Klein, refuse to let the land owned
by them lay unproductive while
waiting for the purchaser and
plant crops themselves. All this
improves the ground and it will be
but afew years until all the terri
tory surro unding the city will be
good farm land and under cultiva-
tion. The federal government has
planned on starting an irrigation
project on the second bench land
just south of Washburn which
will reclaim about 5000 acres at a
comparatively small expense. This
land is near enough to the city to
add considerably to it's growth and
it is expected to have a good effect
as soon as the plans are carried
out. This reclamation will cost
about $25 an acre and the cost Of
maintaining the plant after the
first charges will average about sc
cents an acre.
An excellent graded school has
been erected in the city, in which
there are five rooms and each
grade is under the care of a com.
petent teacher. There is not a
small city in the country that has
any. better educational facilities
than has Washburn. While rents
are cheap good home is also
cheap and most of the residents
own their own homes. A town lot
can be purchased with very littlt
money and anyone with but 8
small capital looking for a desirable
location in which to start bust
mess or find home will do we'll tx
look over the advantages offered
by Washburn.

80 Per Cent Law Valid.

The supreme court rendered a
decision in the 30 per cent clause OF
the primary election law. The
case reached the supreme court
from two actions in the district
court at Grand Forks. One action
was where the democratic candi-
date for clerk of court of that
county failed to secure 30 per cent
of the vote snd the county auditor
refused to place him on the ticket
The candidate mandamused the
county auditor and District Court
Judge Templeton held the 80 pei
cent law was valid and in the ap-
peal taken to the supreme court the
lower court is sustained.
The supreme court holds that
the 80 per cent requirement in the
primary law is valid where one
Office Of the same name is to be fl.
ed at an election, and candidates
for the nominatian for such Office
at the preceding primrry election
failed to receive 30 per cent no
party nomination is made fer such
Office.
So far Templeton is sustained
in his, opinion rendered in the
matter, but he is reversed in the
second section. also coming from
the district court Of Grand Forks
county, where Purcell, "a candidate
for county justice Of the peace
mandamus9d the county auditor to
have his name placed on the ballot
though hsfhad not received 3Oper
cent Of the vote. Templeton' .
opinion applied to all candidates
whether one or more Offices were
covered, but the supreme court
holds that the so per cent clause
does not apply 10 members Of con-
gress, commission Of railroads,
members Of the house, county con-
stab bles and county stices.
Therefore as q final result Of
this action the candid idate for clerk

THE STORY OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Arranged in a Simple and Compres
hensive Manner For Benefit
Of the Children.


pamphlet and circulated ct the In
ternational Congress on Tubercu-
losis recently held at Washington
D. G. While the article has been
prepared for use in public schools,
it is timely, and worth reading by
adults-and needing as well;
My dear little friends;
am going to tell you wonder
full story, about very little plant
that gets into our bodies and caus-
es a great deal of danger, and Oft
en- death.
You have often heard about
Consumption, and what an awful
disease it is! Well, for hundreds
of years, doctors were unable to
learn the true cause of the disease,
until DR.. Kock of Germany found
these little plants which are called
germs, in the spit of persons who
had the disease. This was in 1882
These little germs are SO small
that you would have to put ten
thousand of them side by side, be-
fore they would reach an inc.'.
They have to be placed under
powerful microscope before we can
see them. Now, the wonderful
thing about these little germs is,
that they are alive. They are
born, they take in food, and throw
out waste. They reproduce their
kind and eventually, they die.
To prove that these little germs
cause Consumption, we get some
Of them from the spit Of a person
who has the desease; we put them
in glass tubes with preparation
of blood, and place the tubes in
ovens, which are kept at the tenn
perature of the, body. We then
take some Of them, and inject them.
into guinea pigs, and in a few
weeks, the guinea pigs will die Of
Consumption. Now, in the same
way that they kill guinea pigs,
they will us, so that we must do
everything we possibly can to pre-
vent them from getting into our
bodies. If every person who had
Consumption wonld destroy all
his spit and would take other
means to prevent others from
catching it, it would not be long
before it would become a rare di-
sease. The greatest enemies OF
the disease are sunshine and fresh
air. These little germs cannot
live long outside the body if sun
shine and fresh air can get at them,
but they can live in dark rooms
where windows are kept closed and
sunshine cannot get in.
You will not wonder why you
should know about Consumption
when I tell you that over 100000
persons died of this disease in the
United States last year; that it
kills one-seventh Of all who die.
You must remember it is a oonta-
gious disease. One person gets it
from another. Those who have it
must not let others get it from
them, and those who are we'll must
do all they can to prevent getting
| it.
There are several rules which l
wish every one who reads this to
follow, and see that others do like
wese:
1st. Do not spit.
I'd. Do not let others spit.
Sd. If you have cough, and
must spit, use paper napkin or q
piece Of newspaper, and put it in
the stove.
4th. Get plenty Of fresh air;
keep your windows open at night.
no matter what the weather may Be
5th. Do,not allow anyone TO-
kiss you on the lips. " .,,
9Th. Do not stay near anyone
who has q cough.

COUNTY SEAT OF
MCLEAN COUNTY

flies IN Our City He Puts Our
Best Foot Forward.
Washburn, the county seat and
metropolis Of Mclean county is
also the oldest town in the county.
No town in the state has a better
Z location or more enterprising lot
Of citizens. Located on a gentle
slope from fifty to seventy-fve feet
above the Missouri river, an excel
lent drainage is obtained and the
/ town is kept in a sanitary condition
that is worthy Of especial note.
This combined with the clear,
bracing atmosphere makes sickness
almost an unknown quantity.
With some Of the best farming
country in North Dakota to the
north and west and excellent hay
and grazing lands along the river,
a large area Of tributary country
across the river and the vast beds
of Ignite coal within a few miles
Of the town, this promises to be
one Of the. great cities of the state
in a few years.
Washburn was plated 1882 and
became at once the county seat of
Mclean county, but no exception
al growth was made until the
advent Of the railroad in 1902. Its
growth since that time, however,
has been rapid, and there are now
about 1000 persons in the town
The city is the headquarters Of
the Benton Transportation com
pany, one Of the last of the com.
panies to operate aline Of steam.
boats on the Missouri river between
North Dakota points. This
company runs five steamers north
from Washburn and bring into the

town nearly half a million bushels
Of grain annually. as we'll as hand.
ling freight Of all kinds up and
down the river. The line of boats
being about the only means ol
transportation for both Oliver AM
Mercer counties, naturally brings
the bulk of the trade of those tive
counties to the Washburn mer'
chants. Five elevators and 1O(
barrel -four mill give a consistent
market for the grain raised on the
surrounding territory. The aoul
,lmill has helped to build up the
city to a great extent and hat
to be profitable investment
showing that manufacturing il
Washburn is profitable in othe1
lines. There is a good demand
for all kinds Of manufactured goods
and there is no people in the coun
try more firm in the belief tha1
home industries should be support
ed than are the residents Of thi,

connects the city with the othel
