C. A. Johnson's Son Burned to a Crisp.

A special from Minot today
says: The 4-four-year-old son
of c. A. Johnson, republican
candidate for governor of North
Dakota, was burned to a crisp
here at noon today.
The little fellow was playing
alone on a mattress in the yard
of the johnson home. He had
evidently gotten some matches
and set fire to the mattress.
The thick smoke overcame
the boy and his clothing caught
fire. Before his condition was
discovered his body was burned
to cinders. Mr.. Johnson was
speaking at New Rockford.

 IS UNDER WAY

The work repairing and grading the city streets was started this week. The street supervisor has teams at work on Third street, blow ing and scraping. It is the inten- tion of the city officials to esta blish a uniform grade on this street as we'll as others during the summer.
 Nothing adds SO much to the ap- pearance of town as good streets. The stranger entering the city forms an opinion of the place as he walks along the streets. If they are clean. we'll graded and kept in good re- pair. he will say: "these people are progressive" but if they are cover ed with tomato cans and other re- fuse of the city, he will say some- thing else and he will keep on say ing it after he leaves.

MURDER MYSTERY
 STILL UNSOLVED

Nothing that can be definitely traced to the perpetrators of the murder of the Mahards has yet de- velepod, but the tension of the pub lie mind continues unabated in the deep interest shown in that foul crime. The responses of the people of Prescott to assist in a public sub. scription toward ferreting out the murderers is an act that meets with wholesome endorsement, and at the present time reaches $3,OO0.
 Several parties on the outside have taken this public move seri. ously, it is said, and it is proba ble that from the many statements made since the crime was commit ted, that every effort will be made to trace the deed through certain theories that have been advanced. Theories over the manner in which the ill-fated man and wife met their doom continue to be discussed, and the gruesome deed continued to be talked oyer in all of it's horrors.

WHEN THE EARTH
 HITS TAIL OF COMET

Director Campbell of the Lick observatory issued the following statement Tuesday morning: Hal ley's is the most conspicuous comet since that of 1882, and the chances are that in fews days it will sur pass in apparent size the great CO., met of 1882.
 "Astronomer Curtiss photograph ed thirty three degrees of the tail this morning. Nearly all this ex- tent was visible to the unassisted eye. The diameter of the tail at a point fifteen million miles from the head is 1,OOO,9OO miles. As the earth and comet pass each other on the evening of May IS, with rel ative velocity of forty and fifty miles a second the earth will be approximately ten hours in passing through the tail provided the pres ent dimensions are essentially un- changed.
 Observers in the southern part of the United States and a similar latitude should look a few minutes later at 3:15 a. m. to get the best view of the comet. Wednesday morning the comet was forty mil lion miles from the earth" e There is no hurry. you will have 1 plenty of time to see Halley's comet. It will be at it's best from about May IS to May 27. during which period it will be plainly visible in the evening. The tail stretching out like great finger-a smooth band of light,-should span about one-sixth of the entire sky; or should be equal in length to about thirty times the width of the full moon. It is 15,OOO,OOO miles long.
 The main constitutuent of the tail of the comet is cyanogen, though acetylene is also present. Cyanogen is drug fatal to life; but if the earth does as expected, pass through the tail, there will be no danger to life, as the cyanogen will be SO thin as to be harmless, and, in fact, unnoticed.

MOTHERS DAY
 AT Fl. E. CHURCH

Mothers day was celebrated in the Methodist Sunday School last Sun day by the singing of home songs and the gift of several hundred white carnations to those in attend ance to be worn in honor of their mothers.
 On the mothers depends the char acter of our future citizens, and motherhood has been exalted more and more since Christ said to his disciples: Behold thy Mother"
 If the observance of the day has led anyone to do a kindly deed or write letter home, it has not been in vain.
 Tender, helpful, earnest thoughts have come to us because of this day. Let ns cherish them and mold them into our daily lives.

DISASTROUS HUMBOLDT
 BLAZE COSTS $25,OOO

A disastrous blaze of unknown origin visited Humboldt. completely destroying the smelter assay office and laboratory with all the costly apparatus and material kept there The assaying department occupied three. story brick building.
 The loss is estimated at $25 900, and is partially covered by insur' ance.
 That the smelter, as we'll as other buildings, were not destroyed by the flames was due solely to the fact that no wind was blowing The assay office is located near the warehouse in which was stored oils and other highly inflamable mater. ials. Had the warehouse caught fire the flames would have speedily spread to the smelter.
 The assay office was one of the best equipped in the entire south west. The apparatus was of the latest make and a large quantity oi valuable material was kept in the building for use in the assay and chemical work. The assaying and chemical department will have tenn porary quarters fitted up in the camp until new building can be erected.
