Farmers in Mandan School.

Mandan, N. D.. Feb. 1o.-Alfalfa
growing is a subject which is appeal
ing to the farmers Of the Missouri
slope who are attending the first farm
school ever held in Mandan. The
school was opened this week by the
Mandan Commercial club, with several
prominent agricultural experts as
teachers. and will continue till next
Wednesday.
AS a result Of the efforts to interest
the farmers in alfalfa. there will be
a considerable acreage in this section.
One Of the particularly interesting
features in connection with the farm
school is the fact that it is being at
tended by a very large percentage Of
young men. Numerous business men
are also spending some little time at
tending the classes.
Immediately following the farm
school the state dairymen's convention
will be held, continuing two days. The
program for that event has been COM
Pleted and will be very good. state
Dairy Commissioner r. F. Flint is in
charge of the convention, being Sec
rotary Of the association, and he has
received advices from many dairymen
OF the northwest to the effect that
they would be In attendance.

BESTS FAMILY IN
DRINKING POISON
Bowbells Woman, Though
Closely Watched, Sue
cessful at Suicide

Bowbells. \. D., Feb. 1o.-Mrs.
Christina Mathieson, wife of Carl
Mathieson. residing sixteen miles
southwest of Bowbells, committed sui
! by taking a dose of st%rychnine.
Mrs. Mathieson had been Respondent
for over a week before she took the
fatal dose, and her family, fearing
that she might attempt to destroy her
life, watched her very closely, and
e. let her go out of their sight for
more than a few minutes at II time.
Coroner a. j. Paulson of FlaXton
was notified and he came to Bowhells
and in company with DR.. y. l.. Doe of
this city and Victor Lind Went to the
scene of the suicide. They found the
hottie on a sewing machine down
stairs which had contained the fatal
drug. and also found Il pair of shears
which were used in pulling the cork
out of the bottle and found the de-
the poison.
Coroner Paulson decided to hold
ceaseds mouth partially filled with
an inquest and ~subpoenaed Jens NJ.
Jensen. w. u. Owings and John Beard
to serve on the coroner's jury. After
examining n number of witnesses and
looking over the situation they de-
cided that death came as a result of
poison taken by the woman without
the knowledge of any Of the members
of the family.
Mrs. Mathieson was Very closely
watched by the members of the family
and they We're unable to account for
the poison being in the house. They
had searched the rooms several times
in an endeavor to destroy ANYTHING
with which the woman could kill her
self. and are of the opinion that the
bottle of ~strychnine had been hidden
by the deceased.
Mrs. Mathieson was 5S years old,
had six children. three boys and three
girls. the youngest child being 16
years old. Her daughters are all
married. She had been a resident of
this country for something like six
years. coming here with her family to
take a homestead.

: TRADE REVIEW
-.
Slow But Steady Expansion
Marks the General Trade
Conditions

New York. Feb. 10.-Bradstreet's
today says: Though trade lacks snap
and Is devoid Of uniformity the under
currents are in the direction Of slow
but steady expansion. The week has
brought forth a further slight increase
In jobbing and manufacturing lines
and while some centers, particularly
those situated in the south, note the
prevalence Of unsatisfactory condi-
tons. lighter riders and poorer pros
poets than al this time last year, the
fact is that trade in the leading west
ern and eastern dry goods markets
has improved.
Cotton goods are firmer all around,
5obbers are doing more and they in
turn are making heavier purchases,
but the retail dealer as a general
rule, apears to have assumed the role
Of a consistent conservative.
Cotton yarns r more active and
higher. worsted yarns are very firm,
but millinery. while In good demand,
does not present a very favorable
comparison with last year.
Groceries and drugs are in better
request and In fact. essential staples,
have the call. Cold weather west and
northwest has hampered statesmen in
getting about, and as q general propo-.
sluon read orders hardly are on q par
with those Of last veal. On the other
hand. the low temperatures have
helped retail trade in heavy. wearing
apparel. and the prolonged cold spell
has aided such purveyors to empty
their shelves Of winter goods. Spring
displays are now under way, but it IL
too early as yet to expect much re.
suits.

STANLEY MEANS IS

HIS PUNISHMENT IS COMMITTED
TO IMPRISONMENT FOR
LEE

NASHVILLE, July 25.-Stanley
Means, who was sentenced to be
hung at the state prison Friday
morning, had his sentence ocmmuted
Wednesday to life Imprisonment by
Governor Hooper. The commute
tion came largely as the result OF a
ersonal visit made by Gov. Hooper
to the county all few days ago, at
which time the chief executive talked
with Means without the latter know
ing to whom he was talking. Gov.
EOoper's conversation with Means
convinced him that the prisoner was
OF low order of intelligence, which
was confirmed by DR.. E. A. Dougles,
superintendent of the central hospit-
al for the insane The crime for
which the prisoner was convicted
was classed as brutal
Two days ago Means received pa.
thetic letter from his sister, In which
the family babe him farewell.
Means was convicted of killing J.
L. Workman, in Weakley county
near Dukedom, having called his vic
tim to the door at night. The two
men had a quarrel several days be
fore, and Means had made threats.

was not threshed separately there is
considerable dust and some very
poor grain, while the reverse Is true
where the cap sheaf was separated in

One Of the most satisfying features
of the reports regarding the wheat
and the threshing in the county Ia
that the handling of the grain is
proving that there was not so much
damage by the rain and sprouting
wheat as was thought to be.
Many Of the more experienced
farmers have insisted that all posi-.
BILE care be taken to separate the
damaged sheafs from the good in the
threshing and thus raise the grade
OF the wheat to the extent of the sep
aration. This, 1t is claimed, has
been tested often, and never without
most satisfactory results.
There are this year more Of the oil
engines in use throughout the coun-
lty in driving the threshers, and it is
only matter of time until the old
wood engines must 60. The danger

very materially in creased, and that
by the last of next week that thresh-

be completed, if favorable weather
can be had.

FORE COMMISSIONER.
FORMER RULING IS REVERSED
Will Mean an Annual Savings Of
Thousands to the Phosphate Cor
porations Of the South in Excise
Taxes.-Effect of the Decision.

As the result of professional
visit to Washington by Charles p.
Hatcher Of the local bar, the COM
missioner Of Internal Revenue made
ruling on the corporation income
OF excise tax that will be of much
interest and importance to the phos-
phate corporations of the South
Through the efforts and able brief
of Mr.. Hatcher, which he supple
mented by an oral argument the
commissioner ruled that in arriving
at the gross income Of phosphate
corporation it should be allowed
credit for depreciation for the
amount of rock which it had mined
and thereby had reduced the avail.
ing assets Of the concern.
The Independent Phosphate Com
pany was the corporation involved.
For the past three years the COM
pany has been paying the one per
cent taxes under the national cor
poration act on its net income. The
company had insisted that in arriv-
ing at the income that it should be
allowed to deduct from the gross
revenue the amount of depreciation
by reason of the reduction of it's
assets through the mining Of the
rock. The commissioner declined
to atcede to this contention sustain
ing the ruling made at Nashville by
the collector for this district
In the face of this adverse ruling
Mr. Hatcher took the matter in per-
son to the commissioner with the
result that the official reversed
former rulings and allowed credit
for the rock mined. In other words
If the income Of the company was
based on the mining and the sale of
100000 tons of rock, it was the in
sistence Of the counsel that its as.
sets had been reduced by the value
Of this rock in the ground and
therefore the amount thereof should
be credited to depreciation. The
factt hat the commissioner was
brought to ike this view of the mat.
ter was a great victory for Mr..
Hatcher. It will mean a big say.
