DIscRInIn
Against Durum Wheat. State As.
soelatlon Setting Busy In
Farmers interest.

The North Dakota durum wheat
growers association will meet at
Devils Lake, Tuesday, April 2l, to
take some steps looking towards in
1uencing elevators and mills to pay a
better price for durum wheat. Sec
retary Atkinson of the durum wheat
growers association has issued a cir
cular which says:
'During the past year dulum
wheat has sold on the Duluth and
Minneapolis markets at from 20 to q
cents lower that No. l Northern,
and Prof. Ladd, the pure food COM
missioner who has been making ex-
haustive experiments in milling
wheat, states that the amount Of
-four produced from durum is one
and one-half per cent greater than
fromss fife or blue..stem, although the
amount of patent -four is little less
from drum. There was milled in
the United States last year twenty
million bushels of durum wheat and
as there Is no durum -four advertised
we draw the conclusion that this
wheat is blended with other wheats
in order to cheaper the cost of pro-
duction and make a larger margin of
profit to the miller.
'"Fhis discrimination In price is
unjust to the North Dakota wheat
grower and every honorable means
should be taken by the citizens of
the state to see that the price is
brought up to its value"
Delegates are urged to be present
and steps will be taken to begin ac-
tive work against the discrimination
referred to.

Advisable to Test Barley Seed.

/. Prof. d. L. Bolley of the depart
ment of agriculture at the agriciul-
tural college, has made many tests of
the seed barley from over the state
and has found that a considerable
portion of it is dead, owing to the
frosts last fall. He says that unless
the farmers pay particular attention
to this matter, they will have very
poor stands of the crop. BE. advises
the farmers to make growing test
of the seed before planting it gener-
ally 10 order to ascertain its fertility.
Barley freezes much easier before
maturity than the other grains and
some of the wheat and other grains
we're slightly damaged in some por-
tions of the state. Fargo Forum.

Death of Taylor-A Pioneer.

Missouri slope papers give biogra-
phies of Joseph Taylor one of the states
pioneer settlers who went to Yankton
in 1854 and started the first Demo
cratic paper in the territory. He after
wards followed the stream northward
and has been on the skirmish line Of
pioneering during the most of his life.
He was an author, a keen observer of
nature, and has spent many years near
the Missouri contemplating the advanc-
ing civilization and the developement
of this state. He was hunter, trap
per, and writer of books, his first liter
aryIwork being entitled 'Frontier and
Indian Life" He wrote an interest
ing narrative called Kaleidoscope
Lives, also an account of "Beavers
and their Ways" He died in his little
printing Office in Washburn from
appoplexN 1t is said he came to the
wilds of the far west to make home
for q bride, that she married another
man before Taylor could make the
necessary arrangements, and this
made HIM misanthropic and recluse
to some extent, He was well known to
all the old steamboatmen on the upper
Missouri and was intimately acQuaint-
ed with the Indians. He afterwards
renewed a correspondence with the
girl he had hoped to marry which was
kept up in friendly manner for over
20 years.

Ambassador Has Final Conference
With Secretary Root.
Washington, April 14.-Secretary
Root had a long conference at the
state department with the Russian
ambassador, Baron Rosen, the feature
of which was the Manchurian situa-
tion, and in consequence when the
ambassador left Washington for New
York on his way to Russia he bore
with him the last words of the Amer
lean state department on that impor-
tant subject The interview was en-
inently satisfactory on both sides.
From the Russian standpoint it was
made plain to Secretary Root that
the local Russians in Harbin were de-
serving of support in their efforts to
rehabilitate that important trade cen

Disastrous Prairie Fire.

A prairie fire started near Sterling
and burned south to Long Lake in
Kidder county, last Thursday, de-
stroying a large amount of range
grass, and burning barns Of several
farmers, besides causing a loss of
horses, cattle, out buildings and in
one case house and contents. Two
men fighting the fire had to get into
the water in the lake to escape the
flames that had got into the rushes
on the bank.

ambitious plans that had been formed
by the Russian government for the de-

with Japan. Therefore, the objection
of American Consul Fisher to full
recognition of the Russian authority

rather upon the form in which the
local Russian officials proposed to at

Therefore it may be stated that
there will be. no further friction be-
tween the American consul and the
Russian government at Harbin over
this incident. Y

JAMESTOWN, NORTH DAKOTA. THURSDAY
Dangers of the House-F1y.

Se@&b
The Civic improvement society
Of Woodstock, VT, has issued a cir
cular regarding the dangers of the
common house fly.
It states that 95 per cent of all
house-f1ies are born 10 horse manure
and in warm weather they will hatch
in five hours into maggots which
form lasts three days. Then comes
the pupa form from which they fly
forth ready to lay egg in eight days
from their own eggs stage. 1t can
readily be seen that it would be
much easier to kill the flies before
they have. wings. This can be done
by scattering chloride of lime over
the manure, but.this is costly.
Carrying the manure away ana
placing it in large piles will kill most
of them. AS eight days are sufficient
to develop the full grown fly all horse
manure should be removed twice a
week.
The common house-fly walking
through privies and cesspools picks
up the germs of typhoid. fever, chol-
era and consumption. on its six hairy
legs. 1t then enters the. home for
food and warmth and deposits the
germs on dishes or in food it walks
over, thus carrying disease to well
parsons. This was demonstrated in
the camps at Chattanooga in the be-
ginning of the Spanish-American
war. Some. flies may be driven out
by darkening the house, Others by
sticky fly paper. But an ounce of
prevention is better than..a pound Of
cure and the evils brought on US by
flies can be largely prevented by
leaving no accessible material for
them to breed in. No horse manure,
no flies, or almost none. A remote
country house inhabited by single
family Is exposed to less danger than
houses in villages or cities, because
there is less chance ..for the flies to
find nearby the dangerous excrements
from diseased persons-there are no
germs to be carried. But in a city
or village there is nearly always a
case of some one of these dangerous
diseases, most commonly typhoid or
consumption and the presence of
swarms of these carriers Of disease is
n tn rnh13o hoo1th
AS the danger is common to all,
the remedy must be common. In
every village some definitely organ
lied places for the removal of horse
manure from every stable and from
the public places should be formed.
1t is now carried away, but it is
usually allowed to live long e1ough
to serve as the breeding place OF
many flies. 1t is of value for fer
tilizer and will pay its own cost of
renewal; but the.public health and
public security demand that it be
removed frequently and entirely.
Nine stables ont of ten may be kept
clean Of all refuse, the one neglected
stable with its accumulating piles Of
refuse is.enough to furnish sufficient
material for breeding multitudes of
flies. A. common danger requires a
common remedy and one that will be
self operative. One competent pub
lie contractor, under proper regula-
tion, will relieve any village from
the pest O.. flies.

PRAED'S HOODOO
HELD FOR ALLEGED THEFT
OF THEATRE FUNDS.
Arrested When He Went to Visit Mother
in Dover-Warrant Signed by
Late Marcus Jacobs.

Charged with embezzling $23 when
employed a year ago as assistant treas
urer of the Columbia Theatre, John
g. Praed was arraigned this norm
ing before Judge Howell in the First
Criminal Court and held in $500 bail for
the Grand Jury. The complaint against
Praed was signed by Marcus j. Jacobs,
who was killed by an automobile in
Broad street a few months ago. At
the time that the complaint was made
Mr.. Jacobs was manager of the theatre.
Praed had beer in the employ of the
Columbia Theatre people but two
months when the alleged d~efalcation
took place. He disappeared suddenly
and the warrant had since been in the
hands of the police. In the meantime
Praed, who is a %clean-out, nice-looking
young man, has been employed in Ho-
boken.
For the first time in a year he ven
tured home to see his mother in Dover.
and the marshal of that place arrested
him.
Captain Carroll, of the Newark de-
tective bureau, was notified and De-
tective Sergeant Kuhn, who was work.
ing on the case originally, went to
Dover and brought Praed to this city.

ASK RULING BE SET
ASIDE; FIGHT ARREST.
Baron and Roman File ~Petition-Say
Detective and Desk Sergeant
Were Disagreeable.

On the general ground that their arrest
was an injustice, Henry Pomerehne, as
counsel for Louis Baron and Robert
Roman, filed a petition in the Court of
Common Pleas yesterday, asking to set
aside q ruling of the First Precinct Police
Court in their cases.
The petition recites that the two men
were arrested on the night Of December 20
in a local department store on Market
street by Detective-Sergeant Farrell. When
the trio reached the street both men OBJ
jected and asked why they were arrested.
They declare that Farrell threatened to
break their heads" and that they were
marched off to the First Precinct station
house.
Once inside the station house they declare
that the desk sergeant made personal re-
marks not TO their liking. They say that
a request that they be allowed to send a
message to friends whose assistance they
wanted to bail them out was denied, and
the two spent the night in a cell.
They aIlege that Farrell visited them
while they were In a cell and told them not
to make any statements TO the judge and
he FarrelD would see that they were set
free. As it was they were fined s. each
by Acting Judge Yuill. The fines were
paid.
The charge made by Farrell was that
the two men were lettering. The men be-
lieve TINT Il was a case OF mistaken iden-
tity on FarrelPs part.

EUROPE ROUSED
AT JAPANESE
SPEECH.
Count Repudiating Attack
on England Blames
MistranSlatiOn.

TOXIC, Jan. IA remarkable situa-
tion has arisen as a result of the pub
LEGATION in London of a mistranslation
of the speech delivered by Count
Okuma at Kobe.
Little attention was paid to this adj
dress at the time of it's delivery be-
cause Count Okuma, in previous
speeches on this same subject, had
made his views well known.
The London publication put the count
in the position of urging India to rise
against Great Britain.
Count Okuma and the Japanese For
eign Office have been bombarded with
c~ablegrdns of inquiry from Paris, Ber-
lin. st. Petersburg and London. and
requests that the count publicly re-
pudiate or confirm his remarks. In re-
ply, Count Okuma said today:
eft is apparent that a mistransla-
ton of-these remarks has just reached
England. My friendliness to Great
Britain is well known. l have never
entertained a thought which could be
stretched into such a meaning"
