MARROW ESCAPE FOR CHILDREN.
Tragedy Is Averted in Devils Lake
Home.

At noon one day last week the fire
alarm was sounded, and it was found
that fire had started in the house
occupied by s. b. Snyder at Devils
Lake. A couch had caught fire, and
the flames were spreading to the wall
when neighbors rushed in and extin-
guished the flames. the damage be-
ing slight.
Two small children were alone in
the house when the fire started, and
it is said that they had narrow es-
cape from being burned. The mother.
whom it seems had been away for q
few minutes. was frantically crying
for her baby. when IL man came out
of the building carrying the child.
The smoke had nearly rendered the
little one unconscious, but it soon re-
vived.
Only for the timely discovery of the
fire by painter who happened to be
passing by the building would have
been destroyed and two little lives
lost.

ty-four Years Ago.


Notice has been received at Crane
Forks from Jamestown of the death
of William Koehler, who was commit
ted to the asylum in Yankton on March
1, 1884, and on April l, 1886, was trans
ferred from the Yankton asylum to
jamestown. Koehler was one of the
oldest patients in the jamestown asy-
lum, and his term is believed to be
longer than that of any other patient
sent from Grand Forks county. He
was committed to the asylum by
Burke Corbett, who was then judge of
probate. Mr.. Corbett is now prac-
ticing law in California. DR.. Samuel
w. Rutledge, now dead, was the ply
stefan in the case and M. w. Scott.
since deceased, was member of thu,
board. Sheriff James A. jerks, who
died years ago. took Koehler to the
asylum at Yankton. koehler was
buried at the asylum, there being no
relatives to claim him.

Science School Given Standing.

BY recent action taken by the
board Of trustees, the State School of
Science at Wahpeton has become af-
filiated with the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college. Graduates of the
School Of Science may now enter the
Agricultural college with the rank of
juniors, and graduate upon the COM
pletion of two years work. This is a
step in the direction of more system
attic expenditure of the state funds for
educational purposes.

TO CALL JURY IN MAY.
Judge cowan Will Clean Up Some
Cases in Ramsey County.


Judge Cowan has announced that he
would call jury the last week in
May for the purpose of closing up all
jury cases docketed for the January
term of court in Ramsey county. This
decision was arrived at after a con-
sultation with the members of the
bar, who agreed that on account of the
spring farm work that it would not
be advisable to call jury at this
time.
There are not more than dozen
cases which will come up for trial at
the time the jury is called. The Re-
gan assault case may be heard at that
time but it is very doubtful. There
are few civil cases yet to be dis,
posed Of, in which it will be neces-
sary to have jury, and there are
several cases to be tried in which aft
davits of prejudice have been filed
against Judge COwan.

GROWING STRAWBERRIES IN N. o.
Student in Horticulture Declares II is
Easier Than Growing Wheat.

Easier Than Growing Wheat.
Growing strawberries in this state
is considered impracticable by great
many people, yet it is as easy. If not
easier, to grow crop of Strawberries
tnan crop of wheat. Strawberry
plants are exceedingly productive in
this state. and many a bowl heaped
with luscious home grown fruit has
graced the table of the writer for
many years past. Last year a patch
of twelve rows 900 feet long produced
400 quarts of sale berries, besides
those canned or eaten with shortcake
or with cream. Mr.. Runzendahl of
Forman, Sargent county. produced a
wonderful crop of Strawberries the
past season, and his neighbor, Mrs.
johnson. sold over $50 worth of ber-
ries from sixteenth-acre patch dur
ing the summer of 1906. The abund-
ant crops in the gardens of the North
Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo
the past few years prove beyond a
doubt that strawberries are sure
and remunerative crop in North Da-
kota.
The variety best adapted for our
conditions is the Senator Dunlap. 1t
is extremely hardy, will grow freely
anywhere, and scarcely If ever winter
kills If we'll taken care of.
Any good rich loan that is natural
1y we'll drained is suited for growing
strawberries. A liberal coating of
we'll rotted manure applied to the
land before blowing will conserve the
moisture and aid very materially in
the production of a good crop of ber-
ries. The land should be thoroughly
narrowed o: ralled to make good
firm plant bed. Set the plants in
rows four feet apart, allowing the
space Of two feet between plants.
In planting spread the roots in the
ground as much as possible, taking
care at the same time not to cover
the heart of the plant. which should
be left even with the top of the dirt.
Tramp the dirt down firmly around
each plant Tlis is the most impor-
tant point in planting, as plants often
fail to grow when the earth is loose
around the fOCCS.
Frequent cultivation throughout the
summer is necessary to insure COIL
servatism of the soil moisture. and
to get good vigorous plants for fruit
ing the next season. AS soon as the
plants Eegin sending out runners
rake them in between the parent
plants. Keep the rows narrow, not
exceeding foot and a half in width,
and allow only four or five young
plants to come from one parent. The
others should be destroyed. If the
plants are too thick in the row the
yorng plants will not ripcn we'll, and
in dry seasons take too much mois-
ture out of the soil.
Strawberry plants may be secured
from commercial growers, for about
S. per thousand. Two dozen plants
make. a very good start. and If we'll
cared for should produce at least 100
fruiting plants next year. Twenty
four. plants at the college in 1900
yielded over twenty-four quarts of
fine fruit. No garden is complete
without berry patch. Begin this
year and add to your table one of
the most delicious of fruits. Who
would refuse dish of Dakota grown
strawberries and cream on hot July
day?-W. r. Lanxon in Fargo Forum.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in.
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the fame against it and
see what 1t will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa.
thence the White Lead can be com.

COFFEE EYES.
1t Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect of slow daily pol
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrates:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
Ing weakness and shooting pains
with wayy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and | naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while I didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, l
concluded to quit it and see.
