The department Of botany of the
North Dakota A. G. has lately is
sued the following circular letter,
No. %, which will be sent to all
elevator companies doing business
in the state. 1t is the aim of the
department to interest the manag-
ers of all the companies, in the
matter of the deslrability of taking
great care in regard to the seed
grain which they sell to newcom-
ers into their regions; to fax grow

ssary for all parties concerned to
take an interest in the best method
of growing flax in order to save
the crop for the state. The circul-

The department of botany of
this experiment. station aims to aid
the farmer in proper methods of
flax cropping in order that he may
be better able to cope with the
difficulties which have beset the
fax crop through years of careless
and Indifferent cropping. We do
this with the hope that the fax
crop may not be totally eliminated
as an agricultural asset,
The experiments pursued by the
North Dakota experimental station
through many years have, proved
that the old theory that the flax
crop is particularly detrimental to
the chemical fertility Of the soil is

CHANGE RULES IN
u. S. LAND CASES
MATERIAL CHANGES MADE FOR BENEFIT
OF POOR CONTESTANTS BY The
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT

Washington, Dec. 10. The SEQ
retary Of the interior approved the
new rules of practice governing
cases before the United States
local laDdofices, the general land
office and the department Of the
interior. The purposes Of the re-
vision are to simplify practice, to
avoid unnecessary delays, and to
reduce the number of successive
appeals, in the interest of the lti-
giant. At present he multitude of
appeals give an advantage to a con-
testant of wealth over one who is
poor.
The new rules materially change
those previously in force in respect
to a number of matters, some of
the most important of which are
as follows:
Under the former rules a con-
test against an entry or claim of
record might be initiated by any
person, whether he desired to ao-
quire title to the land involved or
not, while under the new rules
contests are confined to persons
who seek to acquire title to or
claim an interest in the land in
yoIved, and the ground of contest
must be based on matters not dis
closed by the records of the land
department.. A contest by any
other person than one seeking to
acquire title to the land, and vexs .
tious contests will be avoided, or

Considerable Debate Over
Measure, But No Material
Amendments.
CARRIES AN APPROPRIATION OF
NEARLY $4,000, o,ooo-THE WA
TERWAY COMMISSION Is CON-
TINUED UNTIL 1913-FIGHT
MADE ON APPRoPRIATING
LARGE SUMS TO WATERWAYS
OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, April 19.-The rivers
and harbors bill, appropriating nearly
fifty-three millions, was passed today
by the senate. There were no very
material amendments, but there was
considerable debate over its various
provisions.
The portion of the bill receiving
the greatest consideration was the
provision for continuance of the wa
terway commission until 1913.
Newlands tried to have this body
converted into an executive body, but
was unsuccessful
~COntending in the same connection
for a more systematic effort in the
improvement of the more important
waterways, Owens declared that more
than hundred streams mentioned
are unknown to students of geogra-
ply. He said that fifteen million dol
lars are to be expended on inconse-
quential streams in New Jersey.

$50 BANKNOTE
PASSED TO TRIO
TO PAY FINES
AFTER SENTENCE WAS PRO-
NOUNCED BANK NOTE WAS I'M
MEDIATELY PRODUCED AND OF
FERED IN PAYMENT OF FINES.

Rather a mild surprise was occa-
stoned in the recorders court yester-
day morning when the judge passed
sentence upon the three taking deaf
mutes" who were assessed a total of
$4S after they had pleaded guilty to
being dangerous and suspicious char
acters. The penalty had no sooner
been pronounced before one of them
showed his hand in his pocket and
drew forth a hank note of a $50 de-
nomination, offering the same to the
marshal's secretary, and requesting
change, amounting to the sum of 81.
The amount of fine was collected and
the three men released. Immediately
they left the court room and when
they reached Jefferson street, directly
in front of the police station, they
were taken in charge by county Off
GERS. and now face charges of obtain
ing money under false pretenses
All the above is in the regular
routine of happenings in the daily life
of the city court, but there is one
circumstance In connection with the
cases that is being investigated, and
last night it was stated that a $50
note had been slipped to the men, or
to one of them, and that the trick: had
been turned in the court room. This
much has been rather a problem with
the department yesterday, for in some
quarters it was believed that the
three men caught and punished are
not the only ones in the fake game of
getting funds from the unsuspecting
public.
The three men, OIfphant, Gallagher
and Murphy, were locked up at the
city Jail late Sunday afternoon and
were carefully searched. Quite a
quantity of small change was taken
from them, the total of which, how.
ever, amounted to less than $50. That
feature of the case is absolutely cor.
rect, the officers believe. men, after
taking money and jewelry and cards
from them. they were locked up and
no one saw them, according to state
ments at the station last night The
only solution to the manner of them
getting the money was that confed
crate had slipped it to one of them
even while they sat in the city
tribunal Of justice, awaiting trial, and
what is worrying the police is just
who that confederate or friend" was
They believe that he is still in the
city.

A REMARKABLE ONE.
BY Associated Press.

Rochester, n. Y, April 19.-The
people of the thirty-second district OF
New York state, comprising Monroe
county, selected Jas. s. Havens, Demo-
crat, today a representative in con-
gress to fill the unexpired term of
the late James B. Perkins by, a plu-
rality Of 5000 votes. George w. Aid
ridge, former state superintendent OF
public works, and who, for the last
twenty years has been the acknowl-
edged leader of the county Republi-
can organization, was the Republican
candidate.
This special election marked the
elimination of the liveliest campaign
ever waged in Monroe county
This district elected its last Demo-
cratic congressman in 1890. The
late Representative Perkins carried 1t
two years ago by plurality of more
than 10000. The Democrats victory
today accomplished one of the most
remarkable overturns in political his
tory.
What gave the campaign fever heat
Is what the Democrats called the
moral ISSUE" the question of boss
ism" and of the personal fitness of
Aldrige to sit in the house of rep
representatives.
The evidence that Aldridge received
check of $1,000 from representa-
tive of the insurance companies for
the purpose of influencing legisla-
tion has figured in the campaign.

BOY SHIPPED
ON BILL LAD|NG
SENT FROM ST. LOUIS TO MON

CALLED FOR WAS PAID HE WAS
GIVEN TO PARENTS.
BY Associated Press.

st. Louis, April 19.-One seven year
old boy was received on a bill of
lading at the union station here today
over the Iron Mountain railroad from
Monroe, La. He was consigned to a
local bank as collateral for a board
bill to be remitted to a bank at Mon
roe.
Mrs. J. J. Koontz, acting as agent
for F. J. Koontz, father and owner of
the boy, whose name is Arthur, called
at the union station for the consign-
ment, but the railroad officials refused
to deliver the youngster because she
was not the consignee named in the
bill of lading. The boy, still tagged,
was taken tosthe bank in taxicab.
A disputed board bill incurred by
the boy being in Monroe for seven
months caused the bill of lading to be
issued. When the lad reached the
bank the amount due was paid and he
was turned over to his parents.

Kansas City, April 19.-"Col. Swope
will never return to Kansas City.
This phophecy, testified Pearl Kellar,
Col. Swope's nurse, in the Hyde trial
today, was made to her by DR.. Hyde
in Independence, few days before
Swope died.
Her patient was at that time in bet
ter condition than he had been for
weeks. This was the most important
testimony Miss Kellar gave this after
noon. She will testify later.
The defense outlined its case in the
fight of DR.. Hyde for acquittal Frank
p. Walsh, who made the opening state
ment, declared that DR.. Hyde and his
wife had lived in perfect contentment
since their marriage; that DR.. G. T.
Twyman aided in and approved Of the
bleeding of J. Moss Hunton, and that
neither DR.. Hyde nor his wife knew
whether Colonel Swope's will included
them as beneficiaries. He said that
during the last twenty-five years of
his life, Colonel Swope was drunk
every afternoon, and that he habitually
took tonic containing strychnine.
NO DENIAL ENTERED.
No denial was made by Mr.. Walsh
that DR.. Hyde bought digestive tablets
W HUI were given W SOIOueI SNOpo.
Mr.. Walsh severely criticized Mrs.
Logan o. Swope, saying she failed to
go to the colonel's room when she
learned of his sinking spell.
The real trouble over the will of
Colonel Swope, averred Mr. Walsh,
began when Mrs Swope desired Mrs.
Hyde to sign paper giving to Mrs
Moore, q sister of .Hunton, Mrs. Hyde;s
share of $60,0O0, part of the estate
originally left to Mr.. Hunton. This
Mrs. HYDE refused to do.
Mr.. Walsh said that Dr. Hyde OBJ
tanned the typhoid cultures of DR.. E.
l.. Stewart only to make a study of
them and that the typhoid epidemic
was due to unsanitary conditions. 1t
would be proved, said Mr.. Walsh, that
DR.. Hyde was not present at the
SwOpe home on several dates when
he is alleged to have distributed
typhoid germs.
DR.. G. T Twyman. declared Mr..
Walsh, has approved Of the treatment
administered to Miss Margaret Swope
by DR.. Hyde.
Miss Lucy Lee Swope was not
poisoned by DR.. Hyde and she would
take the stand and swear to this, said
Mr.. Walsh
Mr.. Walsh attacked John G. Paxton,
an executor of the Swope estate, say
ing:
John Paxton started this fnvestiga
tion, thinking he could charge it to the
estate. Failing, he was hired by Mrs.
SWOpe to continue the inquiry"
