eermany,s Industrial Life.

The industrial life of Germany gives
the impression of great street crowd
ed with heavy traffic. This traffic is
formed of units, but. all have a common
purpose and direction. and it is well
regulated. 1t is aggressive, noisy and
dangerous to those who brave its com
petitive perils. 1t is artificial, as il
caters TO the needs of man largely out
side of the actual necessities for sub
sistence, and it is subject to increases
or decreases, congestions or even sud
den stoppages, for, unlike the bulk OF
the traffic Of the United States, il is not

HEALING IN NlNEVEH.
Medical Science as II Existed In the
Ancient CITY,

Ancient City.
The patient work OF the archaeolo-
gist enables people of today to form a
very fair idea Of medical science as it
existed in Nineveh ESQ years before
the birth of Christ, says the New York
Sun. OF the 10000 tablets taken from
the library of Assurbanipal, the great
king Of Assyria, who conquered Egypt
and Bablyonia and established his sub
iects i'm the deserted cities of Samaria,
hundreds deal exclusively with medi-
cine and contain numerous pTescrip-
tons:
IF n man has collie make him stand
up and pour over him a decoction OF
hypericum and he will recover.
cor make him crouch down on his
heels and pour cold water over his
head"
Faith healing seems to be indicated
in prescription which runs: "If he is
in a weak state, make him bend down.
then raise his legs and say, May you
get quite WELL Strike him also on the
head fourteen times with your thumb"
Many prescriptions deal with the
cure Of a disorder which was very
common at Nineveh and which seems
to have been due TO overindulgcnce In
food and drink: "When a man is bill
ious rub him with IN onion and let
him drink nothing but water and abb
stain from food altogether"
Among the medicines used by the
physicians of Nlneveh were sesame,
olive oil, castor oil, strip of dates,
honey and salt. Fasting and massage
were frequently ordered.

DOUBTS VALUE OF BONDS
RoyaIton Bankers Attorneys Contend
Securities are Sound.

Little Falls-The bone of contention
in the trial of H. J. Schwartz, the
Royalton banker, charged with accept
ing deposits after the bank was in
solvent, is whether or not, $4,000
worth of Western Granite company
bonds are of any value as assets. The
State bank of Royalton held these
bonds and listed them as assets of the
bank. State Bank Examiner Chase
holds that. bonds have no market
value and cannot be counted as assets.
In order to show that Western Gran
tie company paper has a par value,
Clarke Eldred of ST. Cloud, took the
stand for the defense Eldred has
worked the quarries of the company
and claimed that the property was
very valuable. On cross-examination
by Assistant Attorney General Edger-
ton, Eldred admitted that practically
no monumental stone had been taken
from the quarrjes of the company in
the past two years. Crushing rock
had been quarried, however.
J. E. Casner, deputy auditor Ben
ton county, testified that the assessed
valuation of the property was $4,000.
Officials of the company state that the
value of quarries is 100000 and that
it's bonded indebtedness is $4,000.

G. o. p. PRIMARIES.
HANNA rs A PROGRESSIVE
Progressive Resolutions Pay Compli.
ment to Him as Party Leader
Much Depends on Gather
ing at Fargo.

Fargo. - With representative men
from both the stalwart and pro-
gressive wings of the Republican
party in North Dakota present in the
city, all intent on profiting by the
probable advent of Theodore Roose-
welt the latest presidential possibility,
into the race, the political pot boiled
merrily in Fargo.
At meeting of the candidates for
delegates to the Republican national
convention, Endorsed by the State Pro-
gressive Republican league, resolutions
were adopted pledging support to
Roosevelt in the national convention
in the event that he becomes the pri-
mary choice Of North Dakota Repub-
licans. The resolutions read:
Efforts are now being made by in
terested parties to place us in posi-
ton of hostility to Theodore Roose-
welt and his possible candidacy. In
this connection we wish to say to the
voters of North Dakota that we have
at all times recognized Theodore
Roosevelt as the head and front of the
progressive movement in the United
States, and should he become can
didate for the presidency and his
candidacy be indorsed by the voters
of the state at the primary we will
support him in the Republican ma
toaal convention.
1--WE will support him not only by
virtue of the mandate of the people,
but Loyalty and enthusiastically as a
splendid representation of the prin-
ciples of progressive Republicanism.
Stalwarts in Conference.
Congressman L. B. Hanna came on
flying trip from Washington. The
fact that National Committeeman
James Kennedy has been called from
an important business undertaking az
Spokane, and noting the prominence
of the stalwart Republicans here in
duces to the belief in outside circles
that the whole plan of battle relating
to both state and national campaigns
will be definitely decided upon at this
gathering, the nucleus of the whole
situation being the election of Hanna
as governor.
1t is freely stated in the hotel lob
bies that two important political re-
suits of this stalwart meeting will be
the formal launching of Roosevelt
boom under the supervision of Con.
gresham Hanna, and that Hanna will
take flying leap into the progressive
Republican waters, and come up full
fledged insurgent, and attempt as
such to assume the leadership of that
wing of the party setting up his votes
for wool, farmers free list, and cot
ton bills in the extra session as prima
facie evidence of the sincerity of his
conversion.

DULUTH IS CALLED LOSER
SAYS TWIN CITIES BENEFITS BY
LAKE AND GRAIN RATES.
Minneapolis, Not Being Ready to Tes-
tify, Secures Adjournment to
Washington.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 27.-At the re-
sumption of testimony in the Lakeland
rail case before Commissioner James
Harlan before the interstate commerce
commission, G. Roy Hall, traffic ex-
pert for the traffic commission of the
Duluth Commercial club, submitted
data intended to prove that the natural
head of the lakes commercially had
been moved $50 miles inland to Min
neapolis and st. Paul. Duluth, he al
legged, had been Disseminated against
by 15c differential "since the building
of the first railroad into this territory
the old Lake Superior & Mississippi
railroad which was organized, he in
ferred, by Minneapolis capital, and de-
faulted in 1875. This line made the
15c differential and it has come down
that way to the present time, he
stated.
Because of this 15c differential Min
neapolis and st. Paul have had an
enormous commercial advantage over
Duluth, he continued. Because this
condition has existed for many years,
Mr. Hall went on, there seemed no
reason why it should continue.
He attacked the free storage Of
freight in railroad warehouses which
has become an institution" and asked
that the custom be abolished.
'The city of Duluth asks the com.
mission to ignore the cry of the rail.
roads, the boat lines, and the Twin
City jobbers of Let Us Alone" he
said.
"The whole scheme of alexandria,
rates is fictitious" he averred.
Duluth's case was brought to an end
yesterday. Summed up it is that the
whole structure of alexandria, rates
is discriminating against Duluth and
preferential to the Twin Cities.
Subpoenas are out for rate men Of
western railroads, but they have not
been found.
The hearing was adjourned until
Feb. 16, at Washington.
Duluth had submitted its testimony
and had presented it's exhibits when
Minneapolis, claiming they were not
ready, asked for an adjournment.
Commissioner Harlan then stated
that if the case were not of such vital
Importance he would demand that the
Minneapolis testimony be put in here
and now, but that he believed the COM
merce commission would not want him
to force such an issue. Therefore he
adjourned the hearing until Feb. 16 at
Washington, when Minneapolis will
give it's testimony.

from a three-story brick tenement on
Nicollet Island, when a fire broke out

many, half dressed, in the midst of the
afternoon toilet, ran into the street.
Smoke poured through the windows
and up the stairs, filling the entire
building. Spontaneous combustion in

ment extinguished the flames before
any damage was done.
