Paving Matter on Calendar.
The principal item on the calendar
of the board is the resolution direct

money as a guarantee that the paw
ing will be thoroughly repaired at
the end of the ten-year limit
All of the sheet asphalt is badly in
need of repairing and in some places
the streets need resurfacing. There
is some question as to whether or not
the city can require the paving COM
pany to resurface the paving and that
question will be passed upon by City
Attorney j. A. Massie.
Short Session Expected.
Several other matters of importance
are pending before the board and a
busy session is anticipated this alter

Rather Charms a Little Child.

One afternoon last week Mrs.
Arthur Jackson, who lives in the
Wilkins neighborhood, being at
tracted by the hearty laughter { f
her little two year old daughter,
who was standing on the front
porch, called her name and as she
received no reply from the little
one and the laughing continuing
the more heartily. she rushed on
to the porch to see what might be
the attraction, and was Mortified
to behold a hugh rattlesnake coil
ed up on the ground with its
head prolonged above the porch
gazing steadily at the little girl
and furnishing that death-like
music with its rattles, charming
it's victim until she was unable
to move a muscle. Likely had it
not been for the timely assist
ance of the mother the poisonous
reptile would have presently
seized it's victim and plunged its
deadly fluid into the body of the
child. The mother, nearly panic
stricken, caught the child and
clasping her tightly in her arms.
placed her safely in the house.

Adams Man Has A
Valuable Patent
It Viii Save The Farmers From Eighteen to

And Cleans It Besides.

Adams. N. D.. Sept. 3.-On
Wednesday last for the first time
in the history of threshing it was
demonstrated that threshing could
be done without blowing grain
into the straw stack
Dan Bergsman, who has been
studying for years Oh how to save
grain. has completed machine of
which he had the model patented
last winter, and on Wednesday,
just thirty-six hours after one of
the heaviest rains that this vicinity
has ever witnessed he decided to
demonstrate what the grain saver
could do aud invited several of the
most expert threshing machine
men in the country to witness the
test.
The result was far better than
even the inventor expected, in
making run of 500 bushels with
all kinds of straw some being very
damp and some exceedingly dry,
not one kernal of grain could be
found going into the stack, and
about three bushels and one peck
came through the saver. The
machine was pronounced by all
present to be of more value to the
grain raisers than any other ma
chine ever made as it will save
from eighteen to twenty bushels
of grain on a days run.
