Paris, Jan. 9.-As result of the de-

OF the retention of the death penalty,

of the country by use of the guillotine.
In spite OF the existing law permit

it has been the custom for several years
past for the president of the republic
to commute all death sentences to life

DENTAL Appointments
-: IN the Future
Senator DepeW Says This Is
Not Intended as Slam
at President

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-That the
United States senate is awakening to its
constitutional responsibility by rigidly
scrutinizing the fitness Of appointees to
public Office and that that body will
exercise that function in the fullest de-
gree in the future, was, in effect, the
declaration of Senator Depew of New
York tonight The senator stated with
emphasis, however, that the senate's in
vestigations concerning nominations
should not be undertaken in spirit of
antagonism to the president.
Prefacing the above statements, Sen
ator Depew declared that he was not
authorized to speak for the senate, but
was expressing his own sentiments.
II am simply, as close observer, not
ing change in the relation of the ex-
ercise of the confirmation power of the
senate toward appointments by the
president continued the senator. s.' 1T
has been the general rule in the past
for the president to- consult with the
senators from the state of the appointee,
and if they assented and the name, was
sent IN, to have the senate confirm
without further question. IF they did
not assent and the senator's, or either
of them from the state of the appointees
objected, then for the, senate to refuse
to confirm, throwing the whole re-
sponsibility upon the senator's from the
state. But the practice Of the senate
within the last two years. and especial
ly with the last year, IS developing a
distinction between officers whose du-
ties are wholly within the state and
those whose functions embrace matters
of administration which are Of interest
to other states or to the whole country.
For instance, an appointment of a dis
trict judge approved by both senators
of his own state-has been held in CON-
mittee for nearly two years, and his
confirmation is prevented because in the
duties of his office he sits IN other states
and the senator's from those states are
opposed to him. The confirmation of
the public. printer is delayed, though
the senator's from his state are favor
able to him, the reason being that older
senator's have seen 50 much trouble with
the printing Office and its administration
that they think it prudent to let the in
cun,bent, who WAS appointed during
the recess, have a full and fair trial
before he shall be confirmed"

cution there was a feeling that grim
duty had been performed and they were
as quiet as the friends of the convicted
men.
In passing sentence Judge Jones de-
clared that he could see none of the
mitigating circumstances, mentioned by
the jury in the return of the verdict,
and considered that as but compromise
by some of the members of the jury
who hesitated to pass the sentence of
death. Thus he felt that the response
bility had been placed on him, duty
which he would not shirk and to each
of them he declared the sentence Of the
court would be that you hang by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
Almighty have mercy on your souls

HANDICAPPED IN
MOVING BIG CROP
100000 BUSHELS iN M'kENzIE
COUNTY AND NO RAIL ROAD
NEAR--WILL USE
FERRIES.

schafer. N. D., Sept. 13.-Two mil
lion bushels of grain and no railroad
nor any way OF reaching railroad
except over long stretches of half
broken prairie trails and across one
OF the three threacherous rivers, the
Missouri, Little Missouri, or Yellow
stone is the situation in Mckenzie
county North Dakota. The county
has settled up rapidly this year and a
large area has been sown to crop.
There are no elevators nor ware
houses In which to store the big yield
that has resulted and I'm only a few
instances, with lumber $40 a thousand,
have the homesteaders been able to
build granaries.
Much Of the grain is being left in
piles on the ground where ii is thresh-
ed out and will have to remain there
until the farmers can get it hauled
The county is nearly as large as the
state of Connecticut and almost COM
pletely hemmed in by rivers.
The majority OF the homesteaders
are distant forty to sixty miles from a
railroad. Fifty bushels Of wheat is all
a team can carry over the bad roads
and several days. will be required for
each trip.
Some Of the farmers expect to be
on the road from now until winter.
The loads will be ferried across the
rivers on fiatboats which are run on
cables suspended forty feet above the
surface Of the water

HEN WITH GOPHER FACE
5owbslIs Farmer Has a Genuins Freak
Of Nature-Eiatehed in
Incubator.

Bowbells Tribune: Wilhelm Peter
son had on exhibition on the streets
of the city on Saturday last a freak
of nature in the shape of a year old
hen having the head, mouth and nose
of gopher, and with four teeth stand :
ing out in bold relief whenever the
mouth Of the freak was opened. will
helm says the hen was hatched as a
chicken In an incubator last year and
that II was raised with the other
chickens, eating and roosting with
them but that instead of picking her
feed off the ground as a chicken does.
1t takes the kernels of grain and nib
bles them as gopher does and drinks
water like cat, tapping it up with the
tongue. If one only saw the head of
this freak, with the body covered from
view he'd wager most any amount that
he was looking at a gopher There is
no sign whatever Of the chicken bin
the mouth happening just under the
face as does that of a gopher. and
two little nostrils shove that extend or
contract with the drawing of the
freaks breath. Wilhelm was offered
$25 for the thing by Ed. Drinkwater
but he simply made reply that it was
worth $1,000 if twas worth a cent. and
II he can't get his price in this country
he may conclude to take II to Den
mark this fall, where the people know
how to value such freak and are
ever willing to pay the price.

kENMARE WOMAN
HEIR TO FORTUNE
MRS. JESSIE SKINNER AND Sis.
TER WILL RECEIVE PART OF
s1ss,ooO,ooo GERBAN ESTATE.

Minot ~ D., Sept. 13.-word reaches
Minot that Mrs. Jessie Skinner and her
sister Miss Hulda e. Dover. both Of
Kenmare, are two Of the heirs of $1s3,-
100000 estate in Germany. The estate
Is said to be all in cash and was left
with the intention OF the maker Of the
will that the estate was to be divided
up among all of the heirs at the end
of 100 years. The time limit viii be
up on July 1, 1910. and the two Ken
mare women will at that time receive
their share among the forty heirs.
For several years Mrs. Skinner has
been the proprietor Of the Novelty
store at Kenmare while her sister has
been engaged in teaching school near
BowbeIls.
The story of the legacy follows:
In 1910 Mrs. Skinners great grand
mother Mrs. Mary Hess. was disin-
herited by her father, the disinheri-
tance extending TO the third genera
tion. though her share of the estate
was set aside and was to be distribut
ed to the heirs at the end of 100
years. Mrs. Hess father was a very
ardent Catholic and she married a
protestant against his will, hence the
dtsinheritance. There are now forty
heirs and Mrs. Skinner and her sister.
Miss Dover each come in for their
share. The affairs have been straight
ened out and the cash is ready FOR
distribution at the end Of the time
set by the old gentleman, which will
be next year
Mrs. Skinner has been expecting the
settlement Of the estate for number
of years and has been in correspond
ence with those having the matter
in hand for long time When she re-
ceives her share she expects to travel
for a number of years and will visit
all of the principal places of interest
in the world and on the trip she win
be accompanied by her sister.
Report has it that both women have
not been troubled with any surplus
cash but as both have large amount
of hard business sense the money that
they viii receive will not be dissipat-
ed in the least manner.

MUST ROTATE CROPS
Old Farms are Worn Out and Only
Remedy is Diversified
Farming.

Neche Chronotype: Distasteful as
1t is to give publicity TO the fact, 1t
is now evident that the old farms in
North Dakota, with a few exceptions,
are worn out insofar as raising a
bumper crop Of wheat is concerned.
In many instances where the straw
was very heavy and the conditions
had been ideal, the crops which were
expected to yield In the neighborhood
of thirty five bushels to the acre turn
ed out but from fifteen to twenty and
in places where the land had been
poorly cultivated and overrun with
weeds, the yield averaged from eight
to ten bushels an acre.
There is a remedy for this state of
affairs. Old land may be built up to
produce good yields by proper rota-
ton of crops and fertilizing. Many
farmers say that it is impossible to
devote a large portion of their farm
to a crop from which they will receive
very little remuneration.
Our suggestion is that farmers go
more extensively into diversified
farming.
Purchase ten or twelve good COWS
and devote a portion Of your farm
for their maintenance and you viii
find IL the best investment lnaI YOU
ever maze.
Ine local creamery will pay you a
good price for your cream ana you
win receive $50 or $50 In cash each
month. Not only this, you will have
plenty of feed for calves and pigs and
at the same time be ridding your
farms OF the weeds that now infest
them. and building them UP so that
you will be able to raise splendid
crops. Some farmers in this district
are doing It and making money.

by the committee after investigating
the matter that a site should be Sc

half miles northeast OF the village of
TDlnGAdfh M ho
the Turtle mountains. The committee
decided to purchase 100 acres of sec
tion 80, township 162 of range 10 and
the location there Is contingent on the
people OF Dunseith donating an addi-
tional eighty acres. giving the sani-
tarium 240 acres of land. This sec
ton has an altitude of about 1000
feet and the air is as pure as can be
found anywhere. The committee con-
slider this THE best site in the state.
The land has south frontage and is
protected on the north, northwest and
northeast, and there Is a superb view
out over the valley below extending
for many miles TO the east. On the
east or lower side is beautiful Lake
Shuttle, with a lake frontage Of a
quarter of a mile on the sanitariunn
land. There is fine building site. In
a lively grove of oak trees. Nothing
will be done by the present committee
towards the sanitarium building, no
funds or authority being provided for
that purpose. but general scheme of
beautifying the land will be arranged
and decorative trees and shrubbery
