SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS.

On Saturday the democrats in
caucus selected the officials for
the National House of Represen-
tatives selecting Champ Clark
Speaker. South Trimble, of
Frankfort, KY, as Clerk, U. S.
Jackson. of Indiana, Sergeant at
arms, Joseph J. Sinnott, of Vir-
GINA, Doorkeeper, VIM. M. Dun
bar, of Georgia, Postmaster.
The caucus issued directions
looking to the adjustment Of
about one fourth of the patron
age jobs of the House, cut out
six committees and abandoned
the republican policy of allowing
employees pay for services not
rendered. This means a saving
of 1882. 600. 90 from the expendi-
lures of the last House.
The principal committee ap-
I, pointments went to Southern
states, Texas getting seven
Chairmanships and Alabama five.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, is
the Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, the most i'm

sippi was assigned only one

as follows: House, Democrats

The democrats show a gain Of
81 members and the republicans
a loss of IS in the House. The
democrats will show an increase
in the senate from 80 to Al, while
the republicans lose nine mem

CLEANING SEED FREE

AS an experiment the Russell-Mill-
er Milling company have offered to
clean seed grain for farmers in
Barnes county and the company has
built specially for the purpose sep
arate building near the mill and
equipped the same with the latest
seed cleaning machinery. The work
is done absolutely without cost of
the farmer. The grain is elevated
from the wagons, cleaned and restor-
ed to the wagons with the screen
ings and light wheat separated, il
desired, or the mill will buy the light
wheat and screenings. The object
is to see if better yield and quality
of grain cannot be thus secured by
farmers by getting their seed thor
oughly cleaned. It is said that if
the experiment proves success, the
company expects to install such seed
cleaning plants in other localities of
the state.

grand larceny, or the stealing of a
mare by u. l.. r. Roberts. Some
time last fall Mr.. Roberts last his
horse which was afterwards found in

bout it at that time. On his return
this spring the warrant which had
been issued last winter, was served.
He claimed to be innocent of any
crime and that he bought the mare
from Frank Clark, who had been
working on the Midland road. There
appearing to be no evidence against
LASER, he was discharged by
states attorney, Kneeland. 1t is like
ly that the wrong man was charged
with the theft, but whether any furth-

STATE GAME BOARD
Will Try to Enforce Law About
Goose Shooting


Fargo, March 31.-There was a
meeting of the state game board of
control at Fargo yesterday. The
chief game wardens were present.
The wardens declared the game laws
were we'll enforced all over the state.
The new law allowing shooting of
wild geese in the spring, does not go
into effect until next year. The new
game law was discussed at length
and, it appeared to be the sense of
the board that the enforcement of
the clause in the new law in regard
ing to shooting geese within half a
mile of any permanent waters would
be very expensive, but still as the
law is on the statute books an at
tempt would be made to enforce It.
This law applies to spring as well as
fall shooting.
The board decided that the law at
any rate would prevent the shooting
Of wild geese while on the water,
which would be helpful.

Gasoline

/, The Standard Oil company an
nounces a reduction in price on both
kerosene oil and gasoline varying
from one-half to one cent per gallon
at all North Dakota points. This re-
duction in price is made possible on
account of their increased and i'm

cilities. The reduction in price is
made at this time notwithstand-
ing the fact that there is an ad-
vance in freight rates affecting thirty
or more of their station points in
North Dakota.
The Standard Oil company states
that this Is thesfifth reduction in the
price Of kerosene oil and the third
reduction in the price Of gasoline
since October LIST, 1910 This will
result in great benefit to the CONSUME
ers Of oil and gasoline IN North Da-

THE ALDERmAnlc ELECTION BckFoRo CASE MAY 18TH
Trial of Former State Treasurer ON
Embezzlement Charges Set For
That Date

Bismarck, N. D., April May 16
is the date set for the opening of the
term of the district court of Burleigh
county at which will be held the trial
of G. L. Bickford. former state treas
urer. charged with the embezzlement
of state moneys. The case is being
prosecuted by Burleigh county, Bick-
ford having been arrested upon the
complaint of States Attorney Smith of
this county.
Une of the elements entering into
the trial Of the case is the prospect
of change of venue. While the at
torneys for the defendant ex-official
have made4no statement to that eff
feet, 1t is believed that they will make
application for a'change of venue con-
tending that there is too much local
prejudice with, reference to the sft-
uation because of the long publicity
that has been given the case in this
section. -.-.-~a

action of the state legislative assem-
bly, in causing an inquiry into the
condition of the state treasury has
brought forth a large number of new
facts. sThe report of the investigat-
ing committee was, by the assembly,
turned over to the states attorney
of this county to be used by him in
the prosecution of such actions as
might arise out of the affairs that
were covered 10y the report.
Another probability in connection
with the arraignment of the defend
ant when the time comes for the
trial is that of the fling of an amend
ed complaint in which misappropri-
alton of public funds instead of en-
bezzlement will be charged. The
fact that the amount alleged to have
been embezzled has all been paid to
the state, the certificates of deposit
on Bickford's bank being redeemed,
would be responsible for such
change should it be decided upon.

o4s!H GIFTS deputy sheriff in 1908,
and was in the court room in August
when the Judge appeared to be asleep
and said that two of the attorneys
remarked: I'VE had better quit" In
the opinion of witness the Judge was
intoxicated. Witness said this was
the only time he had seen Cowan un-
der the influence of liquor and would
not swear that he was drunk at that
time and that he had known the
judge six years.
Edwin Flynn of Devils Lake also
testified as to the court room Incl
dent; said he saw Cowan leave the
bench slowly. He asked the judge
in regard to a certain case but the
judge could not give him a definite
answer. Flynn thought the jurist
was intoxicated at that time. At an
other time in the hotel at Devils Lake
witness thought he had seen the
judge intoxicated. Flynn was local
attorney of Devils Lake, for the
Farmers Railroad and owner of the
building in which the Nanderhof ho-
tel is located.
w. A. Godward, ex-school superin-
tendent, testified to attending hear
ing on applications for druggist per-
mits, and that his wife, Rev. Bailey
and j.. A. Haig, were also present.
He was there to protest against the
issuing of permits. Mrs. Maher and
Mrs. Brennan were also in the room.
Before the permit case came up a
prisoner was brought in and pleaded
guilty to blind pigging and was SEN
fenced and witness claimed that Co.
wan was intoxicated at that time,
and before: the permit cases were
taken, up questioned a physician re-
garding the diseased condition of the
prisoner, also of another prisoner and
seemed to be drawing out unneces-
sarily the details of the cases in the
presence O fthe spectators and wo-
men in the court room. Witness ad-
mitted that he was a signer OF the
impeachment petition. and that he
did not believe e6sthe had ever seen
the Judge in strictly sober condi
condition. Mrs. Goodward substan-
tiated the testimony Of her husband
in all important details. She drew
her conclusions that the judge was
intoxicated on account of his face
being flushed and that an odor OF
liquor was upon his person. D. V.
Brennan of Devils Lake testified to
his belief that on July 29th last he
saw the Judge and another man come
out of an alley near a drug store,
and from the conversation came to
the conclusion that the judge was
drunk. He also thought that he was
full on November 10th.

SMALL VERSUS LARGE SEED PO-
TATOES

TATOES
: At the Dickinson su5-station ex-
periments made with uses of small
seed potatoes show that the yield per
acre was nearly double in 1910, from
use of large seed over small seed, and
a larger yield was had with cut seed
potatoes than small seed. Vermont
Gold Coin was the variety used in the
trial. The large tubers were very
large and many of the small ones
large enough for cooking. On an
acre of ground the following amounts
of seed were sowed: small size 1876
bushels, large 76.5, cut 9.4.
The yield per acre was from small
seed was SS.9 bushels, large seed
1923 and cut seed 1857.
