titled "The Red Cross S9al" will
be exhibited for the first time, &C.

lcsis.
The picture drama has been pro.

Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis and the American National

esting story of New York life, and

scenes that show how tuberculosis
is contracted and how it may be
prevented and cured. The film is
1000 feet long. The tuberculosis
workers in every state of the Uni
ted States are urging their local
theaters to exhibit the picture.
The plot Of the story centers
about the winning of the prize OF
500 for the best design for the
Red Cross Seal for 1910, by. Ellen
Williams, a poor girl of the tene-
mepts who makes her living by
dec eating lampshades for very
meagie wages. She has applied
to the art school where she longs
to take a course of study, but
find that the cost, 800, is too
much for her purse. As she turns
to leave the school, young man
Of wealth seas her in the office and
is struck by the pathos OF her
beauty aud disappointment. Tired
of his purposeless life, Jordan re-
solves to see for himself "how the
other half lives. Dressed as an
ordinary day laborer, therefcre,
he rents room in the same tene-
ment with Ellen, and soon be-.
comes greatly attached to her. He
sees her struggle to win the 800
prize for the Red Cross zeal de-
sign, and finally sees her WIN it.
Then he secs her give up all the
am billions of her life, when she
turns over the 800 to a neighbor,
30 that her consumptive boy might
have chance to be cured at q
sanRtorlum
Struck by the noble sacrifice,
Jordan unknown to Ellen, buys
the tenement, renovates the neigh
boring apartment, enlists the CO.
operation of district nurse, and
helps thus to restore the consump.
tive to health and remove from
his family the danger and further
infection.
Thus, in the end, when Jordan
reveals to Ellen his identity, she
finds in his proposal that she share
with him his palat!al Fifth Ave-
nue. mansion. she has gained a
great love, home, and the satis-
faction Of her ambition, all be-
cause of the Red Gross Sal.

Some Of the Great Results from His Inyen-
tlon Of the Cotton Gin.

Some Of theGreat Results from His InYen-
t1on of the Cotton Gin.
Eli Whitney, inventor of the
Gotten gin, was born 145 years
ago Thursday December sth) at
Westbofough, Worcester County,
Massachusetts.
No single American has done
more to make his country COM
mercially eminent and prosper
GUS. In civilizing influence, no
achievement wrought by the IN
genuity of man through all the
ages has been marked by such
useful results to the world he en-
riched by his discovery or the
country to whose fame his genius
has given enduring prestige.
More wonderful than the wisard-
ry of an alchemist or the sorcery
of mas ter of legerdemain is the
of the evolution of the cotton
industry. to which Whitney story
gave life and vitality. Up to 1893
when Whitney evolved his gin, 80
little cotton was raised in the
states south Of Mason and Dix
on's line that the British Gus
toms officials, thinking they were
being deceived by false invoices,
seized the first eight bales Of it
enter'ng Liverpool from this
country in 1884 On the ground
that such a quantity could not
have been raised here in single
year.
In the III years since. SIG, 6,OOO,-
600, 600 worth Of cotton has been
exported from this country. In
the face of this it is difficult to
conceive that there was time
when we grew 90 little of that
now indispensable staple that it's
appearance in a foreign market
excited suspicion. But for cot
ton the United. States would be
debtor instead of a creditor ma
ton. To Whitney and his gin
it owes the fact that it has had
81 600, 100000 the best of it in
the international balance of trade
in the last 100 years.
All that Uncle Sam now needs
to complete his absolute domina-
tion of the textile field of the
world Is control of the linen IN
dustry, which he has set about
resting from England. AL
though the largest prod7cer of
flax, paradoxical as it may Sem,
the United States, up t, some
years ago, used not pound of it
to make linen. Millions Of tons
of straw after yielding its seeds
have been burned up as ,ste ON
the farms OF west as they used to
| do with cotton before u hitney
conceived his gin. As Whitney
showed the way for the commer-
cial utilization of cotton Y ith his
gin, SO did Nudge with nj Oxford
processes make availt jle for
manufacture Of American linen
the once valueless flax str V. In
what these two ingenius Ameri-
cans have accomplished ia their
respective spheres thelo is a
striking analogy. With his gin,
Whitney performed the W. k of a
thousand men; with his secret
processes Nudge made 1t possi-
BILE to accomplish her. in two
days what required fro:: twenty
to thirty weeks to effec; abroad.
Both men were revolut' nisls in
ttat they set at nar.,lt the
traditions of the field IN which
they worked and laid the lnda-
tion for new native in lustries,
for which their country ." 4 pos
terity must ever be their ue ,or.

Ihe finance committee of Row.
an consisting of Commissioners P.
B. Beard, W. P. Barber and W.
l. Harris met one day last week
and examined the books of county
treasurer J. R. Nicholas, finding
them in fine shape. The books
show that Rowan has to it's credit,
deposited in the different banks
of the city, $14,633 81.
The county's money is said to
have been judiciously managed,
ell bills being met promptly. By
examination of the figures below,
however, it will be seen that not
withstanding the fact that the
C unity recently issued bonds to

bered just prior to the election a
statement was liz de thas some
$50. 900 in cash was OH hand and
that SIS, 900, or tn reabouts, worth

Cancelled. Now this statement is
severely .quiet on this point, or
was all that noise over the one
little item of December 2ud, "By

We made little effort to as.
certain the facts in the matter.
One county official stated that the
bonds had not shown up yet, and
another said some had been paid
prior to the former statement
just how prior we do not know,
probably some time as no such
item is remembered in the last
statement. At any rate, taking
the statements as a guide, there
has been 10 bonds paid up to
amount to anything. If the
statement that $751; worth of
bonds, prior to the election, proves
hoax, the people will not be 80
easily deceived again and the
Democracy will have another hole
in her armor to patch.

SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL MEETING.
This week Rev. Magin received
word from Edinburg, town in CEN
trail illinois, the home of his child
hood, that most wondrous revival
wave had swept over that place. AL
most two-f1fths of the entire popu1a-
ton were converted. The town had
almost a. thorough cleaning up and
a great percentage of the. converts
are strong, fine business and profess
sional men. The local paper, the
editor Of which was a disbeliever.
was soundly converted, and says:
Few localities have witnessed more
stirring times in religious work than
when on last Sunday night seventy
five people moved forward and ac-
cepted the plan of salvation" It was
twenty years ago that similar re-
vival wave swept over that illage.
when hundreds were converted, and
Mr.. Magin, then only boy, was
among the concerts. The meetings
are still continuing in the separate
churches. There were 125 accessions
to the Methodist church in two even
ings.

Colonel PLUMMER.,<.
HAS PASSED BEYOND
MAN CLOSELY Identified WITH
EARLY HISTORY OF STATE
-. IS DEAD.
End Came at Home in Maine Where
He Has Been Sick for the Past Year
Game to Dakota IN SOS.

Col. Warren C. Plummer passed
away in Maine Tuesday morning az
ter being in quite feeble condition for
OF this state for many years and had
a large circle of friends here, who
will read this announcement with
deep regret.
Col. Plummer served through the
rebellion, and rose to the rank Of
lieutenant colonel, and was 'brevetted
colonel. Of volunteers. For many years
after the war he resided in Pennsyl-
vania, where he was: active in news
paper work and in politics.
The deceased came to Dakota early
in the, eighties, and lived at Aber-
deem, Casselton, Fargo, LaMoure and
Caledonia. He was always in the
newspaper business and took very
active part in politics, being in de-
mand especially on the stump for the
republican party. He was candidate
son as governor Of Alaska, but failed
to land the plum. Later he was made
register at the land office at Minot,
and at this time the entries were
few and far between and the position
did not appeal to him so he did not
remain in this position.
The colonel was a national c41arac-
ter, being especially In demand in re-
publican campaigns in New York
City, and was decidedly at home in
street speaking in the lower parts Of
the metropolis. His wit and quick
repartee made him a well known
character in the political hotbed that
Tammany was supposed to control.
The deceased leaves two daughters
and their families, residing near his
old home in Maine, who have the
sympathy of his many friends here
in the northwest.
He was most versatile public
speaker, a most companionable man,
strong in his likes and dislikes, and
had a host of friends who will regret
that he has been called to his long
rest. and his silvery tongue will no
longer be heard.

ENORMOUS fire Loss
IN UNITED States
EDITOR OF ENGINEERING NEWS
PRESENTS SOME Stating
- FIGURES.
Per Capita Loss In Our Country 10
Nearly Ten Times That Of Average
European Nation.

The investigations Of the U. s.
geological survey into the annual
IRE losses in the United States have
just been published in bulletin num-
Der 41S. :<'' H.
Their investigation discloses the
fact that the total cost Of fire in the
United States in 1907 amounted to
almost one-half the cost Of new
buildings constructed in the country
for that year. The total cost Of the
fires, excluding that Of forest fires
and marine losses But including ex-
cess cost Of fire protection,r due to
bad construction, and excess prem
iums over insurance paid; amounted
to over .$466, 486 900, a tax on the
people exceeding the total value of
the gold, silver, copper and petrol
IN that year. The cost 5+of building
construction for the entire country
In the same year Is conservatively
estimated It. $1,000, 800,0o ''>s-
Thus It will be very clearly seen
that nearly. one-haH the, value Of all
tho buildings constructed: within one
year is destroyed by hre.
The actual IRE: ,fosse. due: to tho
Destruction Of buildings and their
contents amounted to $215, OS4, 100. 4

Hans johnson, who has been Ia
borer in Bismarck for about twenty
years, committed suicide about >~ 10
O'Clock Thursday morning at his room
in the barn on South Fifth street, by
firing q bullet into his brain with a
rife. The sheriff and coroner were
notified and reached him before the
body had become cold, and though all
circumstances indicated plain case

sence Of States Attorney r. n. stew
ems, made a thorough examination Of
all the people about the barn before
the coroner and jury, which was
composed of Messrs. Lenhart, Beers
and Wasche. His movements were
traced from about o'clock Wednes-
day evening until he was found dead
at II o'clock Thursday morning. T..
He left the barn to 60 to the Gem

He had a friend who shot himself
in the same way while in the Philip
