LANGHOUSEN WAS
The WRONG man
STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER AR
RESTED INNOCENT MAN IN
sTREETER DAIRY
CASE.

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 1S.--In the
hearing held yesterday in the matter
OF the streeter dairy matter, 1t de-
veloped that the dairy commissioners
got the wrong man, and Langhousen
was able to show In very short time
that he had disposed of the cream
station and had absolutely nothing to
DO with It, and that during all the
time he. was connected with 1t, it was
in good condition and complied with
the law as to sanitary regulations.
A new man was being broken in
by parties who had purchased the
cream station, and it was owing to
his Misunderstanding of the rules that
caused the dairy commissioner to light
on the wrong man. Langhousen's
license was still up in the creamery
and the commissioner was informed
he was. still running the place, and
therefore made complaint against him.
The state Joined in the motion to
dismiss the charge against Lang
housen.

NOT SCARED BY
DROUGHT IN n. D.
TWO WISCONSIN FARMERS Sell
EcT LAND-LAkEs GOING
DRY IN WISCONSIN.

Jamestown, N D.. Aug. 13.-Two
farmers from western Wisconsin were
looking over land here yesterday, ana
went to one of the least profitable dis
tricts this year in the county, to inspect
several tracts, They wanted about $50
acres Of land, and made their selections
with the idea of coming to the county
to reside in the fall. They stated the
drought results, as seen in short crops
this year in North Dakota, did not dis
courage them from investing here, as
the same condition prevailed in the
state where they came from.
AS showing the dryness in Wiscon-
sin they stated that a lake near their
town was fast drying up, and that the
fish had commenced to decompose. Men
were employed by public officials to
gather and burn the fish. The small
streams that feed the lake have run dry
this summer.
The visitors took back with them
samples of grain that were satisfac-
tory, and also found a potato field
where good sized tubers had grown on
North Dakota soil. The Wisconsin
men posted themselves on the situa-
tion here and are satisfied that North
Dakota is all right. They expect to pur-
chase land In the western or central
part of the county where the prices
have not advanced as rapidly as in
other parts of the country.

From Minneapolis he received sew

was one of the busiest of days in the
office of County Auditor Albertson on
account OF the opening OF the bids for
the building of the courthouse, jail

When the hour of 2 o'clock ar
rived it was found that six bids had
been submitted to the honorable
board of county commissioners for
their inspection and decision. When
the bids were first opened. 1t was
thought that the bid of the Fargo

after going over the different sched-

deciding upon the way in which the
of the building was to
be made, it developed that Alex Nell
son, of Perham, MINI. was the low
est bidder, his bid being 1879 lower

JACOBSON OF MtNoT
SHOWS WHAT GAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED HERE

Minot, N D., Aug. 13.-Martin
Jacobson OF Minot is showing
samples of corn and field peas,
the seed for which was sown
exactly twenty days previously.
That shows what can be done in
North Dakota under favorable
circumstances. The corn on the
average, the field over, averages
fourteen inches, and the peas
eight inches. He also sowed mill
let at the same time, and this
stands five inches in height. He
has ten acres of corn and peas
and sixty acres of millet, and he
says he would not take $40 an
acre for the crop as it stands in
the field today. He is certain of
getting a lot of excellent feeds He
estimates that the corn will make
from two to three tons of feed to
the acre and the millet looks like
a two ton stand. The rains came
almost Immediately after the seed
was sown and 1t has lost no time
since. He estimates that the sew
enty acres will give him at least
140 tons Of the best kind Of feed.
He has plenty Of hay for a. large
number OF head Of stock, and will
have some hay to sell besides.

THE WEDDING RIhe FINGER.

The wedding ring was not always the
plain circlet of gold nowadays asso-
ciated with it's name. In ancient days
III was richly set with gems and worn
on the first finger of the right hand.
The Christian era brought about the
wearing Of the wedding ring on the
third finger, and the popular supersti-
ton about the ring finger" says that
vein runs direct from 1t to the heart.
The real reason is probably religious
one. The priest who performed the
marriage rite used to put the ring first
ION the thumb, saying, I'm the name of
the Father" on the first finger he said,
i"And the Son." on the second, And Of
the Holy Ghost" When the "Amen"
was reached with the third finger the
lring was put O. to stay.

TAX returns
Are SHAKEN UP
EQUALIZATION BOARD ACTS
RADICALLY REGARDING EN-
GlNES-TOoK LAY OFF
YESTERDAY.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 13.-The state
board of equalization did not meet
yesterday as several of the members
had been called from the city on vari-
Gus missions During Friday there
were a number of classes of personal
property gone over.
The class under the head of gas
engines got some pretty severe shak-
ing up, Ramsey, Ransom and Grand
Forks counties coming in for advances
of 40 per cent and others all along
down the line to as small an increase
as 10 per cent, Billings, Bottineau and
Hettinger counties were reduced AZ
per cent in this call of goods. On en-
gines and boilers there were also some
radical changes made, williams coun'
ty getting a boost of 400 per cent,
Sheridan 300 per cent and Oliver $50
and Cavalier 100. There were other
minor increases given to other coun-
ties and there are no instances where
the amount turned in by the county
board was decreased.
On goods and merchandise, as is
usual there were changes made in
nearly every county but none of them
were striking. Pembina was increased
so per cent, Ransom Is and others
along down the line to as small a
change as 10 per cent.
Town and city lots exclusive of I'M
provements and structures was the
only schedule that has been left with
out change from that returned from
the county assessment boards.
President LIE Sueur and Commits
sioner McGahan of Minot appeared be-
fore the board and asked that the as
sessment of their city be left as 1t
had been returned. AS the city assess
ment was made on a basis of 37h per
cent of actual value and the county
assessors used a 16 2-3 basis for their
figures it hardly seems possible that
the board will be able to grant the
request of the gentlemen, even though
they did make an eloquent plea to be
left as their assessors and the county
board of equalization had made their
returns.
