STOCKHOLDERS
TO Be ASSESSED
70 PER CENT
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN HISTORY
OF pEFuNcT miNoT BANK. :
ARE KICKING ON RECEIVER
Affairs Gould Have Been Straight
ened Up in Less Than Six Years
and That Administrator Has Not
Been Economical.

M!NOT, N. D., May 1S.-Receiver
George w. Swords OF the Minot Ma
tional bank, which bank failed some
six years ago, has served notice upon
all stockholders of the defunct insti-
tuition that they must pay rs per
cent assessment on their stock, to
cover interest payments and expenses.
Mr.. Swords has been receiver Of
the Minot National bank for the past
six years; in that time he has paid
the depositors 80 per cent of their
losses. 1t is alleged that there are
ample assets to clean up the entire
indebtedness OF the bank and for
some time it has been generally un-
derstood that all depositors would be
paid in full and that not one of the
patrons of the bank would lose dol.
lar by reason of the fact that the
bank failed.
1t is known that the stockholders
and despositors have been dissatisfied
with the work of Receiver Swords;
they believe that the affairs of the
bank could have been cleared up long
ago and it is understood that interest
Va poA IACo nave CQuoCu lHN CSLl6dLlOu0
to be made by the government with
regard to the work of the receiver
but thus far nothing has come OF the
Investigations. 1t has been rumored
from time to time that the receiver
was using the money OF the bank for
private purposes, but these charges
haye not been confirmed.
Some two years ago, Mr.. Swords
was appointed receiver of the defunct
Andy Jones' bank at Rugby and since
that time he has made his headquar-
tiers at Rugby.
All the stockholders of the old Mi
not National bank have received writ
ten notice of the assessment on their
stock; many of the most prominent
business men in the city were stock
holders Of this bank, and the call for
this enormous assessment has caused
no little excitement. None of the
stockholders will talk for publication
and it Is impossible to ascertain just
what move will be made. but it Is
safe to presume that every effort will
be made to avoid this assessment as
it is believed by them to be unjust
and uncalled for. 1t is the general
impression that the affairs of the
bank should have been closed long
ago, and that there were and are as
sets sufficient to pay every dollar the
bank owed and leave balance for
the stockholders.
Future developments will be
watched with interest by the people
of Minot generally, many of whom
were despositors Of the old Minot
National.

MOTOR SPEED IN
ENGLAND IS SLOW

PONTIAC. Mich, May 1S-Edgar
King, Of London, Eng, representing
the firm of Instanter, Ltd, Of that
city, was a guest of General Manager
George E. Daniels, of the Oakland
Motor Cars company, Pontiac, during
the week. Mr.. King is here to open
negotiations to take the London and
Continental agency for the Oakland
car and to familarie himself, with
the factory and various models. Mr..
King spoke very interestingly Of the
motor car conditions in England.
There isn't a factory in England or
on the continent that makes car
selling for less than $500 and for that
reason the American factories are
getting the bulk of the business"
the London man stated.
Road conditions in England are
excellent and because they are so.lev-
ell. the Is or 30 horse power car is
very popular. The maximum speed
allowed in England is twenay miles
an hour 1t is much less in the city
limits, the speed being different, de-
municipalities and the officials govern
pending entirely upon the 'arious
ing them"
When asked to compare the p0pu-
larity of motor cars in this country
and England Mr.. King gave as his
opinion that the motor car in England
has not reacher the wide use it has
here, but said it is only a matter Of
time when they would be using as
many cars in proportion to the popu-
lation as are Americans.

"PLAcE OF A BAD SMELL"
Geological Survey Says That's How
CHICAGO Got its Name.

Geological Survey Says That's How
Chicago Got It's Name.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-It is not
often that the geological survey drops
into philology, but the latest bulletin
of the service gives several deriva-
lions OF local names in the United
States that are rather interesting.
That of Chicago, for instance, IS
traced to an Iidian word meaning
"the place of a bad SMELL" Some
people are unkind enough to say that
the name is still applicable. The list
that is given is as follows:
Brooklyn-Part of New York city,
corruption of the Dutch name
Breuckelen. from village in the
province of Utrecht, Holland. The
name signifies "broken-up land" or
"marshy land"
Burleson-County and village in
Johnson county, in Texas, named for
Edward Burleson, Indian fighter, and
vice president of the Republic OF
Texas unedr President Houston, 1841.
Chautauqua-County in Kansas;
county, AXE and town in same county
in New York. An Indian word which
has been the subject of much con-
troversy. Webster says 1t is cor
ruption of a word which means "foggy
place." Another derivation gives the
meaning as bag tie idn the middle"
referring to the shape of the lake.
It is also said to mean "place where
a cshild is washed away" DR.. Peter
Wilson, an educated Seneca, says it
is literally where the fish was taken
out" Other meanings given are
place of easy DEATH" and ''place
where one was lost.
Chicago-City and river in Illinois.
The Ojibwa Indian form. she-kag-ong,
signifies wild onion place." from a
root form implying a bad smell"

POINTERS FOR THE MoToR,sT.
Punched Inner Tubes and How to Pro-
vent Them.

Punched Inner Tubes and How to Pro-
vent Them.
A few words about avoiding delays
and expense resulting from carelessly
fitting inner tubes may be of inter-
est. When fitting a tire, If the tube
is pinched between the bead of the
envelope and the rim, the invariable
result Is the explosion of the tube.
Such explosion usually forces the
bead out of the clinch of the rim at
the point where the rupture 0curs.
The Inference is then drawn immed-
lately, that the envelope did not fit
properly in the first place, but this is
probably not true. 1t is more than like
ly that two thicknesses Of inner tube
have become pinched under the toe
of the bead and that this trouble pre-
vents the bead from fitting properly
at that point. The inevitable rup-
ture of the tube will naturally occur
at the sharp fold in it's surface just
below the toe of the bead. This rup-
ture will permit the tor to escape with
explosive force between the outside
of the bead and the inner surface of
the clinch, and this explosion will
drive the bead out of the rim at that
point. The trouble was not that the
envelope was off SIZE, which Is sell
dom the case, but with the careless
way in which the tube was fitted. Ex-
plosions as described will sometimes
occur when the car is standing in the
garage. In order to avoid pinching
Of the inner tube between the rim
and the bead, the tube should be pow
dered well with tai before placing it
inside the envelope, and it should be
pushed inside the envelope carefully,
after mounting the first bead, before
fitting the second bead
After the second bead is fitted turn
wheel slowly. If any projection or
unevenness of the envelope is noticed
take hold OF the envelope with the left
hand the palm near the bead, pushing
the outer side of tfe envelope toward
the car. Then with the thin edge of
a spur lever lift the outer bead and
push it slightly toward the center of
the rim. II any of the inner tube is
visible, it is not in proper position.
In this event push the thin part Of the
lever under the bead to force the free
end of the lever downward to release
the bead at that pont. Then let the
bead settle back in position, being
sure that the pinched tube has re-
leased itself. If the tube cannot be
seen at that point, continue the exam
ination all around the wheel. Be par
ticularly careful in examining that
portion of the bead fitted last.

Douglas Herald Yes the Cowan
case is ended, and what have we
gained by it? A little bit of notoriety
for North Dakota and not very pleas
ant notoriety at that. The lawyers
for both the defense and prosecution
are the heaviest winners, although 1t
has given Judge C0Wan big boost
He is now greater man than ever
before, and the political soreheads
who instigated the impeachment pro-
ceedings are undoubtedly nursing
some hard feelings because of their
failure to carry out their purpose.
This case has cost the taxpayers
of North Dakota something like $780,
900 and We have nothing to show for
1t. Such actions as this should be
stepped OH right now and stepped on
hard.
Ashley Tribune: The Cowan i'm
parchment came to an end Thursday
afternoon, May 4, when, after ballots
had been taken, by roll call, on sew
enty.nine specifications Judge John
F. Cowan was declared acquitted OIL.
all charges brought against him. The
vote ranged all the way from none to
twenty-three for conviction. Thirty.
three was the number necessary to
convict. There were no votes cast
against the Judge on seven specified
tons. On the habitual drunkenness
charge, the only Improbable offense
it is claimed, only three senators
voted to impeach. The trial started
March %, and has cost the state of
North Dakota about 100000.
Judge Cowan has been bitterly at
tackled and sorely tried, but in his
hour OF triumph he can prove himself
the greater in acts of charity not &C.
corded him by his enemies.
Medina Citizen: The impeachment
trial of John F. Cowan came to a
close last week and the verdict of the
senate was not guilty. The prosecu-
ton was unable to prove its charges
and the vote on the different charges
and specifications was strong In the
defendants favor. This is one of the
most famous and expensive cases In
the state of recent years and the peo'
pie that pay the freight are glad that
it is all over. There are good many
phases of the case that 1t is we'll to
forget. We believe the whoe affair
was case of political spite work and
we are informed that there was con-
siderable farcial work throughout the
trial. All of which is radically wrong.

said he thought he could command a
regiment. as he had fought already In
the Mexican war and served In a Pa
ciiic post. Afterward he had resigned
and farmcd Il for awhile, finally grav-
itating into the leather store because
he had not made out on the farm he
called "Hardscrabblc." The name Of
this man was Ulysses s. Grant. He
afterward got his commission through
the Influence of Representative Elihu
II. Washburne. On this particular
Oath Of May poor Grant was serving
rs n sort Of extra clerk In the outer
office of the adjutant general Of iii.
nois. He knew many things, but was
stoop shouldcrcd and almost shabby;
hence was rated by his outward ap-
pearnncc rather than by any inward
aptitude. God knew him. and perhaps
in n dim way he knew himself.
To us Grant is known as the silent
man. TO his intimates I'm Galena be-
fore the outbreak of the war he was
anything but silent. He could talk
