CHILD BADLY SCALDED

Napoleon, May 23.-The two-year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Stauffer met with serious if not
fatal accident here. The little tot
was sitting on the ground outside of
the engine room at the creamery
when the engineer opened the blow
off cock and the force of steam and
boiling water struck the child in the
back. Mrs. Stauffer, who was about
fifty feet distant, rushed and snatch
ed the child away from it's perilous
position. The child was so badly
clothing upon removing same from
it's body.

STATE BAR ASSN.
SEC'Y THOMAS WILL ATTEND
FROM CALIFORNIA-DATEs
FIXED

The following communication from
Secretary w. H. Thomas of the North
Dakota State Bar association, is of
interest to attorneys and others. Mr..
Thomas will be present at the meet
ing Of the association in the capacity
of secretary for the last time, and
it is hoped by the officers and men,
bers that all members will be present
at the next annual meeting. Mr..
Thomas has given much time to the
work of the association, and it must
be great sacrifice for him to leave
his business at Santa Ana, Cal,
where he is now practicing law, to
attend the North Dakota meeting.
The letter in regard to the date of
the next meeting is as follows:
To the Officers and Members of Bar
Association of North Dakota:
Owing to the fact that the annual
meeting of the American Bar associa-
tion convenes on the 3Oth and 31st
of August and September 1st next,
and because some of the members and
officers of the Bar Association of
North Dakota are members of the
American Bar association and desire
to attend it's annual meeting afore-
said, it was thought advisable to
change the date of our annual meet
ing from September 1st and End,
1910, to September 8th and 9th,
1910, so as to enable such members
and officers to attend the meeting of
the American association as afore-
said and return in time to attend our
own association meeting to be held
in Bismarck.
The executive committee after
duly considering the matter decided
upon and ordered a change of the
date of the meeting of the Bar asso-
citation of North Dakota from Sep
tember 1st and End to September
Sth and 9th, 1910, at Bismarck,
North Dakota. All interested will
therefore govern themselves accord
ingly.

THE HIGH LINE CASE

Testimony was taken in Fargo in
the United States court in the Valley
City high line case. The action is
brought to force the company to run
all trains over the old original line
instead of over the so-called high line
which circles the city and forces the
residents to travel some distance to
reach the depot where trains stop.
The action has reference to all trains
running over the high line.
Lee Combs Is the leading counsel
for the plaintiff and the company is
represented by Judge Young of the
firm Of Ball, Watson. Young and
and many interesting points
are involved In the testimony. <,

FOUR new NORTH
DAKOTA TOWNS
LOCATED ON THE NEW GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY Ex-
TENSION TO MINOT

Four new towns will soon be added
to the map of North Dakota. Bres-
men, Heimdal, Dallas and Almer are
the names of four embryotic cities
that will start on their career the
first of June.
These towns are all located on the
new Fargo-Minot line of the Great
Northern railway, on which work is
now being rushed to completion.
Announcement of the opening sale
of town lots has been made by the
Bremen-Heimdal Town and Land Co.
thru Mr.. Guy Grove, field agent for
the company at New Rockford, N.
D. The auctioneer will start the
first sale at Bremen, June 1st. 9th
er sales will follow at Heimdal, Dali
las and Almer on June End, 3rd and
4th respectively.
The new towns are located in one
of the richest and best developed agri-:
cultural sections of the state and
will prove of great benefit to the
farmers, as it will lessen the dis
tance they are now compelled to haul
their grain and products in order
to reach a railway shipping point.
u These are the first four of several
new towns which will be opened in
the near future on the Great Nor
thern's new cutoff.

The eclipse of the moon was fine
sight as witnessed in this locality
last night. The sky was clear and
the progress of the shadow across the
face of the moon was plainly visible
from the very beginning until it's final
disappearance. The shadow was
first noticed about 9:45 p. m. BY II
p. m. the eclipse was total and dark
ness reigned over the earth except
what light was shed by the stars.
Halley's comet was, seen to great
advantage, in the western sky, during.
the total eclipse and splendid view
was obtained of the great tail, which
extended far towards the south being
brighter near the head OF the comet.
1t is once in life time that similar
spectacle can be seen, total eclipse
of the moon, and Halley's majestic
comet speeding turu space in its sew
enty-five year trip. The tail of the
comet was a broad band of light and
the head appeared to be just within
the borders of the tail, which puffed
out little, and then swept backward.
The nucleus or head of the comet
also appeared much brighter than
during full moon light. Hundreds of
people watched the comet and the
eclipse until late into the night The
astronomers predictions were again
verified by the return Of the most
celebrated celestial traveller in all as
Economical history. The comet has
lost nothing by it's absence Of IS
years as far as known.
1t is interesting to speculate as to
whether the comet has ever lost any
of it's original size or matter since it
was first seen over 1000 years ago,
as far as our records go. Apparently
it is Of the same size and density and
has the same velocity that 1T had
when our prehistoric ancestors gazed
with fear and wonder upon the
strange traveller in the heavens,
which appeared to them without
warning, and disappeared in the same
manner. Its motions, its orbit around
the sun, its general appearance seem
to indicate that it is a permanent
fixture in the universe, the same as
other celestial bodies, and that it
looses none of its brightness when
it can be seen on favorable occa-
sions; that is is not such flimsy
structure that it is liable to disin-
tegrate, although one astronomer has
had the courage to state that the ma
terial in a comet could be put into a
suit case.
The comet is apparently very real
and substantial member of the uni
verse and is travelling under the same
condlllons that other members are,
and is subjected to the same govern
ing law which prevails thruout our
solar system and the entire universe.
The stories that were started few
days ago about the comet having lost
a portion of its tail were entirely
disapproved last night when the tail
with all its fullness and great ex-
tent was plainly visible. Could the
comet be seen against dark back
ground its splendid proportions would
no doubt appear immensely greater
than even the hne view Of it which
was obtained during the eclipse Of tho
moon. =

and industrial catastrophe should
turn back to his accounts and exam
inc the prices he got for what he had
to sell, and then compare them with
the prices he is receiving for the pro-
ducts he is now selling. If he con-
tracted debt in those times-and most
farmers were obliged to do SO then
when he expected to pay it from the
proceeds of wheat sales at from 80 to
so cents a bushel, it will dawn upon
him that he is now paying the debt
from the proceeds of wheat sales at
81 bushel. In other words, a
$1,000 debt of that day. with 50-cent
wheat, is in effect $500 debt now
with 81 wheat.
''How is it possible for the politi-
cal agitator to convince the farmers
that, If he is elected to Office, he can
better these conditions? Isn't it
more reasonable to apprehend that by
his continued agitation, while he
might better his own conditions in
getting his name in the public pay
roll, the farmer, by encouraging the
agitator, will again pay the penalty
of low prices? And would not the
$1,000 debt of today, with 81 wheat,
really amount to $4,000 in the near
future, with 50-cent wheat?
Comparative Grain Prices
But the agitator will tell the
North Dakota farmers that they re-
ceive no protection under republican
tariff policy. The answer on the part
of the grain raiser will be found in
a table of prices. that I have COM
piled from the telegraphic market re-
ports of May 19 of this year. The
prices are of four principle articles
that the North Dakota farmer has
for sale prices that are being paid
in his home market and in his foreign
competitors markets:

(c) In store at Ft. William and

(b) Argentine flax can be deliv-
cred at New York at $1.82, which,
with duty added, makes net cost at
New York of. $2.02 as against $2.05
Minneapolis.
(c) Including commissions, in
surance and freight, which is about
10 cents bushel.
Now, when my North Dakota
farmer friend sells his 100 bushels
of wheat in the home market he gets
SIS more for it than If he sold it in
the Winnipeg market. If it is 100
bushels Of fax he gets $50 more for
it at home than he would at Winni-
peg. If 100 bushels of barley, $40
more. If 100 bushels of oats, SO
more.
Suppose he markets 1000 bushels
of wheat and 100 bushels each of
flax, barley and oats, he will have
more money by $500 than the Cana
dian farmer will have that sells the
same quantity at Winnipeg. Isn't
it quite probable, therefore, that the
difference in favor of the tariff-ridden
North Dakota farmer who has 81.
600 bushels of grain for sale would
pay for years clothing for his family
and an addition to his house or barn?
Examining the case on its practi-
cal side and looking the figures
squarely in the face 1t will be unnec-
cessary to waste much time on poll
tical theories or in answering the
cheap declamations of agitators. The
North Dakota farmer is not fool"

TWO SQUIRES INDICTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGES.

TRENTON, Feb. 16.-Indicted on
charges of uttering and publishing
false affidavits, Justices of the Peace
David l.. Kelsey and Philip Levin were
arrested yesterday and placed under
$500 bail each for trial. Kelsey was
one OF the prime movers and most ac-
tive workers in the plan that recently
resulted in the organization of an as
ISOLATION of the justices of the peace
and constables of New Jersey for the
purpose of raising the standard of the
Offices and for their mutual benefit.
The affidavits involved in the indict-
ments are the outgrowth of a suit in
Chancery by the Peoples Brewing
Company. of this city, against Levin
Bros, wholesale liquor dealers, for
breach of contract in buying beer from
another brewery. Answering the suit,
the Levins produced afidavits to the
effect hat the accusing company's
beer was unfit for use.

reasons advanced to show that there
is any necessity for it.
In order that the question might be
discussed to fullest extent, President
Small advised that the council go into
a committee of the whole for an hour.
1t was a move experience for the dele
gates, but only the building trade
unions delegates took part in the dis

felt that it was not a matter for them
to pass upon.
One of the strongest advocates for
the building trades section was Albert

Carpenters, and among the opposition
was Frank Fetridge, who is the dele
gate of the Building Trades Council.
At the end of the hour George A,
Leary. who acted as chairman of the
committee, reported that no action had
been decided on, as 1t was shown that
in order to establish a building trades
section it required the demand of three
international unions. John Cosgrove
president of the State Building Trades
Councils, was present, and related his
experience in trying to establish ar

success, although he felt hopeful that
it might be done in the near future.
