the second renewal of the American trOt-

new liquor inspection law, which takes
effect July 1, all liquors sold legally

approved by Prof. Ladd. Only drug
gists are authorized to sell liquor.

must be analysed and approved as

the mourning of fine. The charge
for an examination of a brand of whis-
ky or brandy is $3.50, and this money
goes to the agricultural college at
Fargo to be expended as the board Of
directors deems best. The same ex-
animation and approval will have to
be made Of wines, for which fee of
$50 is charged, and of beer, ales and
porters, for which a fee OF SIS is
charged. This fee covers brand and

are levied against the druggists or the

force ment of the law can be made eff

The result of this law should be to

not altogether to be classed as health.

FIGHT FOR POST OF MAJOR.
friends Of Fargo Captain May Take
Up Question Of Promotion.

FrtenoS OF Fargo captain May TAKE
Up Question Of Promotion.
Is Capt. Grafton of Company B Of
Fargo being juggled out of his pro-
motion to the rank of major? That's
a question local militiamen are ask
ing. The adjutant generals Office an
nounces the appointment of Capt.
Midget of Valley City to the vacancy
as major, caused by the advancement
of Maj. Frame to be colonel. The
state law, section 1746, provides that
rank must be determined by seniority
of service, and that reelection and
reappointment count.
Capt. Grafton was in command of
the local company for several years,
and resigned, but at the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war re-enl!sted
as private, and was advanced till
he again became captain. Since his
last election he has not served as
long as Capt. Mudgett, but his CON-
bined service as captain. under the
different enlistments, gives him to-
tai years of service over Capt. Mud
gett. His friends may take the mat
ter up for a special ruling.
Frederick R. johnson was the name
CT the stranger who was found uncon.
scious on the street car tracks at
Fargo and taken to jai! as drunk,
and whose death occurred in a cell.
At the time of his death the only clue
the authorities could find was the
name of Mrs. NJ. F. Thomas. West

man were sent, which showed him to
have been her brother. Death was
due to pneumonia.

cHEERED eY OIL EXPERTS.
Discoveries Near North Dakota Town
Declared to BE Of Importance.


Expert oil men pronounce the oil
finds in the vicinity of Ryder genuine
and important. About ten days ago
employees of Joseph Wuetzner, on be-
ing ordered TO clean out an old we'll
were surprised to find they were
pumping nearly clear kerosene oil,
which ignited and burned in lamps.
Several barrels were pumped out and
burned brilliantly.
The experts speak very highly of
the discoveries and pronounce many
of them rich in oil and parafin. The
latest discovery was made recently in
an unused we'll of Deputy Sheriff l.. S.
Officer. This is probably the richest
and of greater specific gravity than
any aId yet made.
Two mass meetings were held at
the opera house and addressed by the
oil experts, one of whom was former
ly employed at Boulder, Colo, where
refined oil has long been produced
IN paying quantities. They declared
that the finds far excel anything they
have ever seen before.
1t was decided to appoint commit
tee of representative citizens to meet
and confer with the experts at Minot.

ed to be represented by the oil ex-

The idea that fax straw possessed
high qualities for the product of de.

born out by the experiments, so far
made by Prof. Morton of the state
agricultural college, who is conduct
ing the denatured alcohol tests. The
theory gained currency that the straw
was rich in alcohol quantities., and be
cause hundreds of thousands of tons

DEN MARK.


from Denmark this week is the report
that Iceland is now in open revolt
against the Danish government, and
demands complete independence. A
dispatch from Copenhagen says:
Denmark's dependence, Iceland, has
finally gone SO far in it's campaign
against domination by the Copenha.
gen government that it is today prac.
tically in state of rebellion. There
has been no actual violence, nor is a
test of physical strength really con-
sidered likely. Nevertheless, there is
no certainty that one will be avoided.
The difference between the hone
and insular governments are not OF a
| nature to admit readily Of compro.
mise. In view of the fact that two
/ thirds of the members of the Icelandic
! althing support the demand for what
amounts almost to independence, and
| that Premier Neergaard of Denmark
has told them, they will have to take
! good deal less or nothing at ALL it
is evident that there is not much pros
pect Of surrender on either side.
The struggle is not in its early
stages. The althing has already open
ly defied Denmark. The home govern.
ment has always claimed the right of
appointing Iceland's chief minister,
and at present the post is held by
Premier Haffstein. Dane. The Ice
landers announced a preference for a
choice Of their own, and, when disre-
garded by Premier Neergaard, called
on Haffstein to resign. The latter re-
fused. and the althing promptly elect
ed Bjoem Jonsson, newspaper edi-
tor at Rejkjavik, the Icelandic capital,
and leader of party which favors alb
solute separation from Denmark, to
the office.
The althing's action amounts to the
establishment of a provisional govern.
ment, which the Danes refuse abso-
lutely to recognize. Negotiations are
in progress between Copenhagen and
Rejkjavik looking toward an adjust
ment Of the difficulty. Failure to ef-
feet compromise would naturally be
followed by move on Denmark's part
to enforce its authority by the dis
patch of troops to the disaffected
island. Messages from Copenhagen
say the Danish government does not
consider this likely to become neces-
sary. No agreement, however, is in
sight.
Denmark's offer to Iceland-the bill
recently laid before the rigsdag in
openhagen-included the following
provisions:
That Iceland should be an insepara.
BILE part Of the Danish empire.
That the king of Denmark should
change his title to king of Denmark
and Danes in Iceland should enjoy
equal rights.
That the Copenhagen government
should continue to decide questions Of
foreign policy and national defense,
but that the Icelanders should have
full control of home affairs.
The Icelanders are divided into
three parties-a majority in favor of
the severing of all ties between the
island and Denmark except that of
nominal allegiance; minority which
favors absolute insular independence.
and a still smaller minority which
urges acceptance of Denmark's offer.
