"'Avery sociable wedding, enjoyable to
say the least, took place last night in
our bright and growing little city,, par

our urwell-known blacksmith helper, l..
Ezra Stubblefield. The wedding ended
long romantic seance that had been
going on between the man and wife,
partly sub under the rose bush and
partly out in the clear, for months. On
account of the extreme standing of the
Peterballs and Stubblefelds in this conf
munity the wedding was undeniably of
high order. 1t was also brilliant thing
which could hardly have been surpassed
in lavish and dressy way. There was
no disorder. M r,

Cash for North Dakota.

A Minneapolis dispatch of the 9Th
inst. says that currency ahipments from
Minneapolis on that day were the larg-
est since the grain movement began.
Express companies took out in excess
of 100000, and Of this; says the dis
patch, not less than $500, 900 went to
North Dakota. The figures bring UP
the overflow to proportions more in
keeping with the big grain production
and the currency demand that should
be expected to follow. To date, bank
ers say, there had been uhusual light
demand, due partly TO the good condi-
tions of the country banks with refer
ence to cash business, the proportion
of cash available in the country banks
to assets having been larger at harvest
than usual. A daily movement that may
amount up to $500, 1000 at times and that
will average about $500. 900 is expected
to continue from this time on.

REED RECEIVERS !:
STOLEN HORSE
And Causes Arrest Of q Farmer Near Am
brOse Named Christianson Who Pur-
chased the Animal From the Thief,
on Charge Of Concealing
Stolen Property.
(Minot independently

\MlIOC lnOepeHoenI.J .;.s.sgris ~
John Reed h as located the horse
which was stolen from him last spring
by young McVey, six miles southeast
Of Ambrose. The animal was sold by
McVey to farmer named Black, it is
said, who in turn disposed of it to o.
N. Christianson. Reed went to Am
brose and located his horse, but Christ
ianson would not give up p'the animal,
saying that he had paid $135 for it and
that he would have to be recompensed
before he would part with the horse.
Reed, seeing that there would be trou
BILE before he got his horse, came back
to Minot, and went to Williston, where
he swore out warrant for Christian
son, who was charged with concealing
stolen property. The man was arrest
ed, and was taken thru Minot to Willis
ton Monday. Reed says that as soon
as he left Ambrose Christianson be-
came alarmed and started for Montana
with the horse, where he hoped to trade
the animal with the man from whom
he purchased it, for another, and thus
save him the price of the animal. Reed
says the horse has been worked hard
and looks thin.
It appears that good many of the
horses stolen in Minot were disposed
OF to a gang Of farmers in the vicinity
Tof Ambrose, and they are likely to an
swer to some serious charges before
they are thru with it.

needs to carry him until next crop, then
by the use of lies, circulated in the
press showing an immense crop pro-
duced, the price of grain is manipulat-
ed to point that will deprive the pro-
ducer of the profit, leaving him only a
subsistence.
The question of dealing with this
problem has been fully worked out by
the Society of Equity, who have been
educating their members to pool their
crops, and market them at fair pro-
fit, by control of the selling, SO adjust
ed that only the demand from day to
day is supplied.
! While the equity members k n W
what to do, there are thousands of
grain growers who do not, If they will
not listen to what this society teaches,
perhaps they will pay attention to what
men of national prominence have to
say.
Senator McCumber stated recently
on the floor of the United States Sem
ate, that a plan was on foot to plum
der the producers of grain, and that
they must combine, use all Of their
force as unit, stop the dealings in
futures, and relegate the gamblers to
Jail if need be, but stop gambling they
must if they would prevent themselves
from being reduced to serfdom."
4 The Society of Equity will guide the
farmer through the struggle and bring
him to the safe and honest market, for
Ills grain.

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.
Our Limited Scale Of Consciousness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.

onuts Out Many NiprattonS.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat we imagine there must be
other vibrations filling up the gap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them. The spectrum Is just such a
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot see; at the
other end as the vibrations get faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet Is another unknown
gap-that Is, we cannot see 1t. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualistic
phenomena. Just as there are limits
at either end of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
us nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural to US when we witness
their effect, but they really are no
more supernatural than the X ray that
pierces the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo

can be affected and still be recovered
satisfactorily. A few years ago the
writer undertook to revive some old
trees which would ordinarily have
been cut down and put on the brush
heap. They were mass of knots from
top to bottom. We selected time
when the snow was on the ground so
that the knots could be easily gathered
up and cut out every vestige of the dis
ease, though In some cases this left a
pretty small proportion Of the original
tree. In removing a knot we cut at
least six inches below 1t. so as to be
sure and take out the roots OF the dis
ease. That year the trees made big
growth. often three or four feet, but a
good many new knots also came out
which were removed that autumn. the
trees also receiving two thorough
sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur.
ing the summer.
The following two years we did near.
ly all our cutting in the summer and
found It much more satisfactory In its
results than cutting during the dor
mant season. To begin with. as the
knots were removed as soon as they
appeared we saved the crop OF sum
mer spores which would otherwise have
spread the disease. Then, the knots
being young and soft, we could fire.
quently shave them off and thus save
the branch on which they grew. Last
ly, when II became necessary to cut
out branch altogether. In getting rid
OF knot. tie tree, being still In growth,
would at once ell In the space thus
made, so that by autumn It could
hardly be seen.
This work was done In a section
where the black knot fourishes like the
proverbial green bay tree, yet we found
II by no means a serious matter to rid
these trees of the disease and keep
them reasonably free. Three cuttings
during the summer, with an autumn
clearing up (after the leaves were ON
Of the knots which, had escaped thus
far, combined with three applications
of bordeaux mixture, did the work.
Our sprayings were applied one be-
fore the leaves opened, one after the
blossoms fell and one about two weeks
later. Lest some may think this pref
ty serious programme, I may say that
the summer cutting the third season
took just four and one-half hours for
an orchard Of ninety trees.

a lamp with very long chimney, usu-

"cREAslNe" A WILD HORSE.
For One Captured by That Method
Fifty Were Killed.

Will G. Barnes, writing In McClure's
Wild horses In the old days on the
plains, says:
"'Creasing' was one of their devices
This consisted in shooting bullet so
that IL struck the animal on the top
Of the neck just In front OF the with
ers and about an inch or so deep close
to the spinal column. The shock tenn
porarily stunned the horse, and the
hunter ran up and tied the animals
feet together before he recovered. A
rope halter was slipped on his head.
A gentle horse or sometimes a work
OK was led up alongside the PROSTATE
beast, and he was securely necked up
to the gentle animal and thus could be
handled easily. Old mustangers say,
however, that for one horse caught
this way fifty were killed and that as
a matter of fact the method was not
used very much except In an emer-
gency, when a hunter, after days Of
attempts to capture. finally took the
risk Of successfully creasing an I'M
usually fine animal rather than see
him escape altogether.

who had creased him on the plains
east OF the Pecos river In New Mex
leo. There was a hole In his neck
fully two inches deep and wide, where
the ball from the heavy buffalo gun
had plowed its way through the flesh
Just high enough above the spine not
to kill and low enough to stun effectu-
ally"

is to be done by the bureau of ami

work, but the matter will be under
the direct charge OF the state board
of health

the state the tuberculine for the pur-
pose of innoculation and DR.. Beatty
states that the test Is almost infal-
Ilble. Utah Is one of the four states
In the union that has been supplied
by the government with the tubercu-
line gratis.
The new state law requires every
COW In the state to be tested. IL also
provides that no cow shall come into
the state without having certificate
that il Is free from tuberculosis. In
the event of any animal being found
infected with the disease, the sale of
milk from that cow will be stopped
and the animal condemned The work
will begin first in the dairieS of Salt
Lake county, and then be extended
10 the other counties Of the state The
undertaking is a large one and will
occupy considerable time, but 1t Is
hoped that great benefits will result
from the tests.
