A bill by the appropriation COM
mittee, indemnifying owners for
animals killed or destroyed accord
ing to law for being afflicted with
the disease known as glanders and
providing for a special tax for the
paymentthereof. The measure pro-
vides that whenever the state veter-
marian shall deem it necessary to
destroy an animal for being afflicted
with glanders he shall notify a
justice in the county where the
afflicted animal is located and the
justice shall call in three dis
interested persons who shall ap-
praise the value Of the animal.
Not more than one-half of the
value shall be paid for the loss of
the animal to the owner, and in no
case more than fifty collars. The
state board Of equalization is to
provide for a state glander fund
and levy an assessment of one-fifth
Of one mill for the maintenance. of
the fund. In the meantime the
vouchers now on file are to be
paid as rapidly as possible out of
the unappropriated moneys in the
general fund. 5s5;.. Is

mans character, but 1 can safely
say I never met, one. who, at his
age of life, proved more upright

VIM. E. Carlson passed away in
death at the Bismarck hospital.
after a sickness of twelve weeks
duration. All the assistance that
could be rendered him by his
devoted wife and many friends
and best of medical care was Of no
avail.
The last service occurred Thurs
day noon from the Swedish Bap4

Skager and Turner paid fitting
tributes to the memory of the
deceased. The young man was
laid in his last resting place in
the Coleharbor Cemetary
Vim. E. Carlson was the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. David Carlson,
and son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nels Nelson. He is survived by
his wife. father. mother, five

The deceased was born at Cole
harbor May, Z, 1886 thus attaining
the age of % years. 8 mo. and "a
days, and was married Nov. 2lst
1906 to Miss Charlotte Nelson.
We dare not ask why he was
taken from us in his prime unless,
as flowers are picked before frost
finds them that we may not wit

The deepest sympathy Of all his

IN BRlQUETs.
Millions Of Tons of Coal
May Be Saved to
HfH
the Country.

For several years the technologio
branch of the United States geo.
logical survey has been conducting
a series of experiments in the
hope of stopping the tremendous
waste in the use of fuels, and one
of these was the making of
briquets out of slack or waste
coal. This fine coal, which has
not nearly the value of the lump
because of the difficulty in burn
ing it. is mixed with 5 to 6 per
cent of water gass pitch and
pressed into cakes or bricks by
powerful machinery.
Several hundred tons of these
briquets we're made at the fuel
testing plant at St. Louis, Mo-,
and later at Norfork. Va. This
prepared fuel was used in a num-
ber of tests by the Pennsylvania.
the Missouri Pacific, the Lake
Shore. the Michigan Central. the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific,
the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, the Chicago and Easts,n
Illinois, the Chesapeake and Ohio,
and the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
roads. and in every instance the
briquets furnished more power
with less weight of fuel than the
run -of-mine coal from the same
mines. They further showed less
smoke than the coal and indicated
that their proper use at terminals
might do away with a large part
|.of the smoke nuisance from the
railroads in the big cities of the
county.
In cooperation with the navy
department, a series of tests were
made on the torpedo boat Biddle,
off Hampton Roads and the bri-
quets weight for weight with the
coal, succeeded in generating
much more power, but there was
very little difference in the amount
of smoke.
To the navy these tests are Of
the greatest Importance. The
fact that the briquets give moro
power than the coal means that a
vessel carrying 1900 tons of bri-
quets will be capable of steam
ing farther distance than
one with 1900 tons of raw
coal. In time of war this wouf
be very desirable, especially if the
feet were in foreign waters, far
from coaling stations. NE
To the railroads. the briquets it
is said will undoubtedly prove a
valuable fuel because Of the hotter
fire they make and the lessening Of
the smoke. In a number of road
tests, the engines using briquets
carried heavy trains much faster
than with the coal. They showed
their ability in a number of in
stances in making up lost time,
which would have been impossible
with raw coal, accord ding to the
statements Of the men who operat-
ed the engines. s ss.
A report on the results Df these
tests has just been made to the
geological survey by Prof r.
t4oss. consulting engineer in
charge of locomotive tests. He
sees many advantages to the rail-
roads in the ,ise OF brignets. In
locomotive service z says Mr.. Goss
1.-THE snbmitting Of briqnets for
coal has resulted in marked in
crease in efficiency,in an increase
in boiler capacity and in de-
crease in the production Of smoke.
It has been especially noted that
careful firing Of briquets;at terrni-
nails is effective in diminishing the
amount of smoke produced.
The tests as ! whole indicate
that many low grade Goals, nov
idered nsless may make an
admirable fuel and thus add TO tho
supply Of the 4 ooolintry which il
being used at 4 rapid rate.

WRECKS AND PROSPERITY

Some how or some way railroad
wrecks are becoming quite the style
now. We do not know what the
matter can be but presum it is on
account of the great rush of business.
All the leading roads seem to be
crowded to their utmost capacity.
Last Friday the Katy had a
freight wreck at Erie that smashed
up several cars and tore up the
track for some distance delaying
traffic for IS hours.
Monday afternoon the passenger
train On the Santa Fe, from Kansas
City, due here about o'clock,
did not get in TIL after ten on
account of freight wreck up the
road.
The roads, instead of laying off
men as they were few months
back, seem to be taking on all the
available men they can secure, and
still the train men are complaining
of being over worked.
All this would seem to indicate
that promised Republican pros
perity is striking US pretty fast.
There seems to be no idle labor
lying around loose. Just 60 out
and try to hire a man for a few
days If you think idle labor is
plentiful.
The railroads, unable to secule
American labor, which they prefer,
are using Mexicans and Greeks and
any old kind of foreigner they car
find.
Such condition will soon be
felt in any community, especially
in a locality where there are
factories and interests that employ
good many men. The coming
winter is disuned to be a most
prosperous season for this locality
With all our industries running on
full time and at full capacity aud
a our laboring men fully employed
at good wages, money is bound to
be plentiful and times prosperous.
In fact we think this whole
country is just starting in on an era
of unheard of prosperity. See if
We are not right.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by ali druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. n. v.
When writing mention reading this gen.
erous offer in this paper. Don't make
any mistake, but remember the name,
and don't let dealer sell
you something in place of Swaup-Root-
Il you do you will be disappointed.
