COUNTY COURT
County Commissioners Busy
Today Considering PIatS
for New Towns.

The county court has been busily
engaged throughout the day in the
consideration of plats for new towns,
and additions to those already in ex-
istence, and listening to agents ad-
vance the merits of various kinds of
road machinery, which they are
strongly of the opinion that the court
should purchase for the coming sea-
son of road work.
There is one plat presented to the
court for a new town-that of Broad
acres, but, beyond discussing it, the
court has so far taken no action with
relation to it.
There are three plats for additions
Two of these are for additions to
the city of Salem--that of Leonard's s
addition and that of Mob Hill. Tie
third is for Mays addition to the
town of Mt. Angel. Beyond the con-
sideration of them in a preliminary
way, the court has taken no action
with regard to them.
May Buy Roller.
The court has for some, time had
under consideration the purchase Of
a new road roller, and this afternoon
it listened to agents representing
firms dealing in this kind of machin-
cry, and also graders and other i'm
plements used in road work. While
the court has not definitely decided
that it will purchase a new roller, it
is strongly considering the propczi-
tion, as should there be as much
road work done this year as last
and it looks as though there will be
the county will be badly in need Of
one. 1t is not probable, however,
that any other road machinery will
be purchased.

C. A. EPLEY ROBBED
Manager of Sidney FIGURING
Mills Attacked by Robbers
and Knocked Unconscious.

Two burglars entered the residence
] of Charles A. Epley, manager of the
Sidney Touring mills, at the town of
Epley last night, and, after striking
Mr.. Epley across the head with what
| is presumed to have been a piece of
hose, and rendering him unconscious,
an badly frightening his sister, Miss
Maud Bpley, who was sleeping in an
adjoining room, secured $3S in mon
ey, and seemingly made a successful
escape, as so far the officers have
been unable. to secure any trace of
them, nor have they any clue which
would lead to their Identification and
apprehension.
Miss EpIey Gives Alarm.
Mr.. Epley and his sister were the
only occupants in the home at the
time, and it was she who first gave
the alarm. Their sleeping quarters
were upstairs, and she was aroused
from her slumbers by noise in her
room, and upon awakening found a
man bending over her bed with a
rope in his hand. Sh escreamed with
fright, and this apparently frightened
the burglar away, as he departed
from the room, and she then called
to her brother in the adjoining room
but received no response. She then
went to his room, and found him in
an unconscious condition. After
working with him for awhile he
somewhat reeained consciousness, and
then she summoned medical aid
Mr.. Epley's condition was such
that he was unable to give any ac-
count of the burglary at that time
nor was it such this afternoon that
he has been able to give an intelli-
gent version of it. While the wound
in the head is an ugly one and rem
ders him still in somewhat of
daaed condition, Dr. Robertson, who
went to the scene this morning. to-
gether with Constable Ira Hamilton
and a representative of the Capital
Journal. when the news of the bur
glary first reached this city, does
not regard it as fatal and states
that he will recover.
Entered Through the Window.
The burglars effected their en-
trance into the residence through
window by breaking the pane and
then unlocking the window from the
inside. They then wended their
way upstairs where Mr.. and Miss
Epley's sleeping quarters were To-
Gated, and it is presumed that one
of them entered the room of Mr.
Epley while the other entered the
room of Miss Epley. While Mr.. Ep-
ley cannot give any version of the
burglary. it is presumed that when
the burglar entered his room that
he was awakened and that the bur-
glar struck him with the hose for
the purpose of keeping him from
giving the alarm. 1t is also pre-
sumed that the rope which was seen
in the hands of the burglar which
entered Miss Epleys room was TO
be used in tieing her should she
awaken and give trouble.
Then money secured was in the
pockets of Mr.. Epleys trousers and
nothing else in the house was mo-
lested..
While Constable Hamilton has
been working on the cases today lie
has found no clue which is of any
assistance TO him in apprehendins
the burglars. He has learned that
two suspicious characters had lately
been seen about the Epley home.

Can't Keep EN- Fooled.

With usual arrogance and inSO-
lence, Ex-Governor Nardaman
takes issue with the statement
made by that splendid Confederate
veteran and statesman, Col. Char
les e. Hooker, who introduced
Senator Percy at the fair grounds
last Monday, that the alleged
fraud in the senatorial caucus
ought to have been called to the
attention of the members before
the nomination was made.
Mr., Vardaman thinks that "the.
failure of somebody to call atten-
tiOn to it at a certain time is i'm
material and raising the point at
this time is begging the question:"
This is on a parity with Narda-
mans usual line of thinking-that
is when he thinks he is thinking.
Vardaman well knows that the
cry of fraud was an afterthOught
with his followers, and that the
alleged bribery of II member Of
the state senate was a dirty and
despicabIe frame-up to give him a
new issue for his 1911 campaign,
He knows, as well as he knows
his own identity, that the author
of that charge is a characterless
creature, unworthy of belief by
any intelligent man.
And yet he is willing to profit,
if he possibly can, by this contem-
tible trick, and actually believes
that the cock and bull story cooked
up by that miserable little creature
and the campaign OF malignant
abuse, SANDER and misrepresenta-
ton is going to land him in the
United States senate.
But Mr.. Vardaman has another
think coming. If he imagines that
a majority of the voters of Mississ-
ippi are going to swallow the nau-
seOus nonsense belched forth by his
hired understudies, he is sadly
mistaken. His attitude reminds
one of the quotation:
MAN a thinking being is defined
Forusing the grand prerogative of mind,
How few think justly of the thinking
few,
How many never think who think they
do"
Mr.. Vardaman and his followers
may think they have the voters
thoroughly fooled, and doubtless
there are a goodly number in a be-
fuddled mental condition, but they
are not going to remain that way.
The clouds are lifting, the miasmic
mists of misrepresentation I
drifting away, and Vardamism is
being seen and dissected in the
clear sunlight of commonsense and
reaSOn.-JackSon News.

BosToNIANs AS BEAN-EArERs.
Unique Statistics About That citv's
Noted Saturday Food Supply.

New York Tribune: Boston baked
beans are known around the globe. In
the city of Boston alone about So 600. :
600 quarts of baked beans are devoured
annually to say nothing of the pork
that goes with them and the brown
bread that is also served. There are
factories or bakeries which handle
nothing but baked beans from one end
of the year to the other. One of the
largest Of these which supplies restau-
rants wholly, bakes $4,000 quarts OF
beans a week Other bakeries also
furnish brown bread, while nearly every
bakeshop that makes bread, pastry and
pies also bakes beans several times a
week. There are bakeries with ovens
that will hold 1000 quarts each.
| In 1904 Boston spent about SS,247 S42
for beans feore they were baked
There were $4,000 barrels received in
the city, which on the weight basis
was $4,000 more than was used in
1905 Each year the consumption has
been steadily increasing, until 1908 will
find the bean bill of the Hub close to
the 100000 mark. On the basis Of
about 100000 population this is an av-
erage of about q quarts to an individ-
ual.
Taking the average height of a Bos-
tonian as feet inches and the height
of a bean pot as 10 inches one can
easily figure that in a year Bostonian
cts more than two and five-s seventies
times his own height in baked beans,
more than his own weight
/ There are twelve plates of beans
served in restaurants from each pot of
/ two quarts. Boston pays for baked
beans In a year the price of two of
Uncle Sam'c modern battleships.
Dwellers in Little Italy and the Ghet-
to of the West end take as kindly to
baked beans as do the natives of New
England stock. In fact. baked beans
possess acharm for people of all nation
alities who go to live In Boston, perma-
nently or temporarily. Every time a
convention is held there people from all
parts of the country make a dash for
the nearest restaurant and call for
some baked beans, OF which they have
heard so much. One bakery in the
heart of the Italian quarter turns out
1000 quarts daily. entirely for Italian
consumption.
The preparation and baking of beans
Is an interesting operation. In estab-
lishments where beans only are baked
1t is done on a huge scale. There are
great kettles Of beans, great kettles that
hold two or three bushels of beans, and
into these the beans are put to soak and
parboil Then the pots of earthenware,
varying in size from one quart or two
! gallons, are ranged around on tables
and filled from the big kettles. Every
quart of beans is carefully picked over
and sorted and cleaned of all dirt and
dead" beans before being placed in
the kettles The ovens are huge brick
affairs, glowing red with heat. Experts
consider that beans cannot be properly
lcooked except in a brick oven. some
of the ovens hold 1000 quarts each.
Filled with the loaded pots, they pres
ent a sight worth beholding. So hot
are the ovens that long handled, nat
shovels are used to take the pots in and
out

VALUE OF NORTH
DAKOTA Ignite
TT is BECOMING MORE GENERALLY
APPRECIATED - SOME I'M
PoRTANT INVESTIGATIONS
THAT ARE BEING
CONDUCTED.

The legislature at the session of
1903 enacted a law known as the
Mining Experiment Sub-Station'" Sec.
OF which ACT recites, "In order to
promote the development of mining
interests, particularly with reference
TO the best methods of mining and
utilizing Ignite coal and clays." In
pursuance of this act, building has
been erected at Hebron and machinery
and apparatus is now being installed
therein.
The work of this station is under
the direct charge of Prof. William
Blaine Snyder, who has had much i'm
portant experience in the coal mines
of Pennsylvania The professor has
done more original work in testing lig-
mite coal than any other man in the
entire country, he is therefore well
qualified to speak concerning the lig-
mite found in this state. He SAYS:
"a ton OF North Dakota Ignite will
give just as good results as a ton of
average bituminous coal" He pro-
poses to demonstrate the truth of his
assertion, and he predicts that not a
ton Of eastern coal will be burned in
this state three years hence.
These statements of Professor Snyd-
er fully confirm the advanced position
maintained by Prof. H. Bachelor of
Fargo who has firmly maintained that
the lignites of this state will, when
used by modern methods and apparatus
give as good, if not better, results than
the average bituminous coal.
Professor Bachelor says that in ten
years from the present time the entire
northwest will be drawing its coal
supply from this state, and the mines
will have an annual output of at least
1O0,0O0,00O tons, instead of some 3OO,-
900 tons as at the present time.
Professor Bachelor says it is ridicu-
lous for the schools to retain books
for the students to study which con-
tain such a statement as that found
on page lit Of "a Text Book Of Com
mercial Geography" used in the Fargo
high school.
There is at the present time being
formed, a powerful combination among
the producers OF bituminous coal, the
outcome of which will be an advance
in price of all qualities of that class
of coal.
The northwest country already
charged to the limit for the coal that
it BURNS, cannot and will not stand any
advance in the price it pays for fuel,
therefore it will burn North Dakota
coal.
Ignite when dried and properly
prepared for market Gall coal is pre-
pared before it is marketed) will give
most excellent results. The great de-
posits found in this state, will there
fore come into general use.

Mankato, Mimi. Jan. 1.-THE case
against Mr.. and Mrs. William
Schwandt, two of the four indicted for
the murder Of III. J. Ledbeter, was dis
missed today by Judge Pau on motion

possibly more indictments win be re-
turned.
Mrs. Grace Ledbeter returned from
her fathers home near Spooner, Wis,
Sunday and will spend several weeks
