THEIR BONDS
AND HAVE LEFT CITY
EuTMEH I'LOTNER MD MRS.
QUINN GAVE THE REQUIRED
BONDS AND REPORTED TO
HAVE LEFT TOWN.

AT the conclusion OF the prelimi-
nary examination Monda. after
noon of Luther Plotner and Mrs.
Kate Quinn on the charge OF adult
once to secure their bonds. The bond
of both people was furnished by the
Northwestern Surety Co.. Plotner's
being for Sl,50W and Mrs. Quinn for
$1,000. Plotner was also placed un-
der peace bond OF $1,000. There
was a warrant issued for Plotner for
d peace bond on the day thai he left
town with Mrs. Quinn and at the
conclusion OF the hearing States At
torney Herbert presented the case TO
Justice Drake. who fixed the peace
bond at $1,000.
1t is stated on good authority that
Plotner left the city during the might
and that Mrs. Quinn win leave to-
might, but thai they will be located
at different points.
1t is strongly animated that the
trial will not be held in this
Ity, on ccount of the prejudice
against the parties, and that Plotner
will ask for a change of venue when
his case is called at the November
term. The next term of court in the
Circuit will be held at Alexandria the
Isecond Monday iii December.
The evidence which States .Attor-
fney Herbert secured was sufficient to
bind them over, but it is of a char
acter which precludes the publica-
ton OF the details.

What The Kidneys Do

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter

day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
| daily, when unhealthy some part of
this impure matter is left in the

Governor Burke has received WORD
from the officers of the Northwestern
Development League that the bust
ness interests of St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth have agreed to a deal
whereby this state will be furnished
exhibit space without cost at the land
show The show to be given under
the auspices Of the league is the only
one in the country which is not pri-
vate enterprise and will be managed
in such a way as to furnish space for
official exhibits.
At a cost Of $4,000 the business in.
terests of the three Minnesota cities
have bought from the league $500
square feet of preferred space at the
show. Each of the seven states will
have space of fifty feet long aud ten
feet wide for their official exhibit
The governor has been asked to con-
fer with officers of the league in this
state and secure the interest of those
necessary to put in an exhibit which
will be a credit to the state. Under
the plan no one community or city will
have an advantage over others in the
state. Any city, county or land COM
pany desiring to make an Independent
exhibit will be able to secure limit
ed amount of space near the ta1e ex-
hibit on reasonable terms, bu: It is
the desire of the league officers for
this state that the best possible OK
hibit be made in the name of the
state as it is from such an exhibit
that results are to be obtained.
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Washington,

close to the ground as possible. Many
growers lose about one-third Of the
flax seed which they grow, because
they do not make smooth enough seed

this hits your case, do not blame the
flax crop as a non productive one. but
do better for it next spring. II you
cut it and drop it in loose punches, do
not let these get wet, if you can

mouldy and this ruins the seed for
sowing purposes, besides when the

If you cannot thresh at once, when
dry, place in large cocks or small
stacks and cover with caps made OF

Will you kindly allow me, as Presi

iety in this city, to warn the youns
sports who frequent our streets in the
small hours of the morning, to leave
the water fountain on Main street
strictly alone
On Friday night, or early Saturday
morning last, a few of these young
bloods took it into their heads that il
would lie great joke to stop up the
overflow of the pipe causing the water
in the bowl to overflow, coursing dowr
the hill turning into Second street
east. When they were alarmed by
the police, they got away, into various
hiding places; but in their getaway
they forgot to remove their hand,
kerchetfs. This was done by the
police and on examination, were
found the names Of young men who
would like to be called respectable
but the English language has another
name applicable to them.
Now in order to put stop to any
pranks on this fountain in the future

conviction or for such information as

ture, interfere or obstruct the flow OF
water to or from the fountain.
It was we'll the police arrived in
time to remove the handkerchiefs fol
had such got into the body of the
fountain, the entire structure would
have had to be taken down to remove
the obstruction.
The names on the handkerchief

WAGES TO BE LOW THIS SEASON
Supply Of Men Responsible for Fact
That There Will Be Reductions.

With harvest time here, the farmers
who in the past years have worried
about lack of help, need have no fear
that such will be the case this year,
There are more men here now than
will be employed.
The drouth in South Dakota and the
fact that in some parts of that state
there is absolutely no yield of any
kind of grain, has caused many far
mers of that section to come to North
Dakota for labor. The influx of these
men and the harvest hands, unem-
ployed men from the cities and the
east who at the present time overflow
the state make it certain that the far
mers Of the state will not lack for
help.
Owing to the number of men who
are in the country looking for work
in the fields, it is not expected very
high wages will be paid this year
Farmers state that they figure on pay.
ng from ST. to $2.75, according to
the class of work and the worth OF
the man.
In Foster county, it is understood
that there have been a number OF un-
fortunate South Dakota farmers who
have hired out for 81 day. Most of
these men are homesteaders who were
burned out by the continued drouth
and who have come north to obtain
work and money to make new start.
