Some Fearsorne Eiaures.

Pittsburg Dispatch: The "sWat the
fly" campaign is already in full swing.
One swat now, we are told, will be
worth a million swats in August. But
listen to the voice of science as inter-
preted by Professor C.. F. Hodge of
the department of biology at Clarke
university. One pair of flies in one
season, he AYERS, will become the pro-
genitors OF a possible 12t, 900, 600, O00.-
600, 100000, or enough to cover the
entire surface of the earth AZ feet
deep!" More than 6,000,o 900 germs
have been washed from the body Of
one fly-which probably did not think
1t needed a bath at that. Almost
100000 persons die by fly infection
each year; about $500, 000, 900 lost each
year to the fly. Each fly lays from
$40 to 900 g 1t lives from two to
four months and lays every eight or
10 days. And you cannot bury the
fly; he will dig himself out Of six
feet Of soil.
Fearsome figures, are they not2 If
it is as bad as that, what's the use
Of swatting? But the professors fig
ures contain internal evidence indi-
eating that he may have allowed his
enthusiasm to overbalance his arith-
metic. If one pair of flies in one
season produce enough to cover the
surface of the earth AZ feet deep, ;.s
he asserts, why are there no noun
tains of flies visible to the eye? Where
are they? What becomes of them?
If the professors other figures and
statements are not more conservative
than this one. we may take courage
once more and resume the fly swat
ting with at least a hope of keep
ing them out of our own domicile.
But it will be well to remember that
however exaggerated the professors
advice may have been i n detail the
principle is sound-that che fly killed
now may save the slaughter and pur-
suit of a billion Or two later. Which
is really a humane consideration to
the unborn generations of flies.
Nevertheless, the most effective
method Of fighting the fly is to starve
him. Keep your premises clean
scrupulously clean-all the time; leave
no remnants Of food on the tables or
in the sink drainer, and the fly will
hunt a more hospitable habitat.

headquarters at an early hour. The
relief corps has been busy during the
past few days securing flowers for
the graves of the dead soldiers and
are very thankful to the citizens Of
Fargo who so kindly donated gifts
of flowers from their home gardens
or otherwise. Headquarters was beau
tiful this morning with the huge bou-
quets and boxes of homegrown and
cut flowers which made the place very
fragrant.
The relief corps had button
hole bouquets of pink carnations and
leaves for the old soldiers and each OF
the w. r.. G. ladies wore a sprig of
jassamine. which had been secured for
today from Alvin, Tex. Dinner was
served at IL O'clock in the G. A. r..
headquarters to the @. A. r., the
Spanish war veterans, old soldiers and
others, by the ladies Of the corps.
There were several large tables and
flowers were used for decorations.
At 2:45 the w. r. G. will march
second in line with the parade from
headquarters to the tabernacle, where
the special services will be held.
There they will take part in the cere-
mony of decorating the unknown
graves and pay their tribute with the
rest. One member who is greatly be-
loved by the w. r. G. and all who
know her will be unable to march with
the rest and perform those duties
which she has been accustomed to
perform on Decoration day for many
years, is Mrs. Margaret Sheridan of
Seventh street north. she is an elder
" lady and foremost in the relief
corps, but has been very ill for the
past week. When visited today by
the ladies with a large bouquet OF
flowers, she expressed very feelingly
her appreciation n regrets that she
was unable to assist in the exercises
of the day. Mrs. Sheridan is very
feeble but says she feels better to-
day. Yesterday she had a bad attack
which left her very weak. Her
friends are hoping that she may re-
cover very shortly.

Promising Basis for Industrial Peace

OF the differences have been settled by
mediation and only some details by
arbitration.
There is nothing compulsory ~ the
act for it comes in play only at the re-
Quest OF one or both parties TO the
| dispute. The mediators cannot o11ci-
ANY take the Initiative. The law re-
uuireg that the dispute must have in-
/ terrupted or threatened railway oper-
alton before action can be taken.
| Usually this has been interpreted to
/ mean that a vote to strike has been
carried. The procedure is as follows:
If an application is received from n
side only the mediators Immediately
tell the other party that the first side
has appealed to them and ask whether
the second will enter into negotiations.
The second party must agree before
the proceedings go further. In only
four instances did the second side re-.
fuse. When both sides have agreed
to mediation, the mediators at once
meet the two parties in an agreed city
but separately. The negotiations are
always carried on by conference first
| with one side and then with the other.
Neither side knows how the other side
| states it's case. Then a confidential
statement or agreement to possible
concession is obtained from each side
without the knowledge of the other.
One side. does not hesitate to agree to
concession since. because Of Its se-
| crecy such an offer cannot be Inter-
preted as a sign of weakening. Fur
therrnore, should the parties later go
| to arbitration neither would have
prejudiced it's chances. The contest
ants are never brought together until
the mediators have found a settlement
to which each has agreed without
pressure from the other side. Each
can .t.4us look at the settlement as one
obtained without the loss of the least
prestige.

The Lucky Horseshoe.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: It is
not difficult to understand why lovers
of horses came to adopt the horseshoe
as a talisman against misfortune.
Horses were considered to be espe-
cially liable to the Vaccinations of
witches. This fact stands out in all
the records Of the Lancashire and
other evil hays.
If precautions were not taken these
mischievous witches would ride
the horses at dead Of night
over the hills, and when the
owner came to the stables in
the morning would find his animals
in a lather and utterly exhausted. A
horseshoe fastened over the stable
door raj believed to ward Of such
evil. ..
There is no superstition more deeply
ingrained in all classes Of society than
that which it attached to the horseshoe.
AS an emblem of good fortune, it holds
pride of place. Nelson did not disdain
to nail a horseshoe to the mast of the
Victory. In the early part Of the
nineteenth century the horseshoe was
very highly priced and there were few
London mansions where it was not dis
played, while humber folks were at
great pains to fasten it oyer their
doors. -
Horses were not shod either by the
Greeks or Romans. The ancients were
content with wrapping fiber cloth
round the feet of their horses in cold
weather or when it was necessary to
pass through miry districts. Instead of
troubling about horseshoes they devot-
ed their attention to hardening the
hoofs of their mounts.
Nero, who ever strobe to outdis-
lance his contemporaries caused his
no case were nails driven into the
heofs. The practice of shoeing horses
by driving nails into the hoofs was
introduced into England by william
the Conqueror, but such a practice did
not make any Roadway for centuries.
The Indians who had no superiors
as horsemen eve thought of shoeing
their mounts in way, and yet
they were capable of performing re-
markabie journeys over most difficult
country. The Sandown derby was won
by a horse running in a natural state.
The race was run twice owing to the
fact that three horses made a dead
heat on the first occasion. Prior to
the second attempt the owner of Mar
den gave orders for the light plates
to be removed from the hoofs Of his
nominee with the result that Marden
gained a comfortable victory Of three
lengths.

Industrial peace? impossible!" In
sisted a powerful leader of congress in
discussing the bin to establish a fed
eral commission on Industrial rela-
tions. His r~esourceful mind could
imagine no way in which to bring or
der out of the chaos of hostile fac
tions in the Industrial world. In his
opinion ito prevent or settle quickly
large strikes is visionary. The con-
tending forces are too mighty, they are
bound to differ, their interests are so
diverse and when they fight they must
until one or both are ready to quit
from sheer exhaustion"
A single argument has convinced
these men to the contrary. That fact
is the practical cessation of war on
interstate railroads, the industry most
essential to the conduct of modern
life. The success of a method in
field forecasts that some way car be
found to deal with all classes of labor
disputes.
The Erdmann act is a federal law
Of 1898 providing for mediation and
arbitration in controversies affecting
railways and such employees as are ac-
tually engaged in train operation. 1t
has dealt in a single controversy with
10000 employees and with fifty roads
involving 1905 0 miles of line. It's
total operation has embraced forty
eight disputes affecting 10000 men
and 100000 miles Of road-all in the
last five years. No serious dispute on
an interstate railway has arisen in
this period where the act has not been
invoked. All but one of these disputes
where mediation was accepted were
amicably settled. This exception oc-
Cured where the strike had beer orr
dered before the mediators were called
in and the men would not revoke the
order. So the mediators dropped the
case, Only three times was mediation
rejected. Every case of arbi
tration has ended in the acceptance
by both sides of the award. What
wonder that suddenly this federal law
has become a starting point of a Ia
ton wide discussion of a means to esq
tablish peace more and more widely
in industrial relations.
The Erdmann act provides for both
mediation and arbitration to settle
disputes. At the time OF the bills
passage arbitration was prejudged to
be the more effective, but an obscure
feature Of the law proved to be the inn
portant one. For arbitration has
been resorted as the first step In only
four cases and as a last resource in
only eight others. In these eight most

Minot, N. d., May S0.-Attys. Dorr
H. Carroll and ri. S. Blood are at Bis
marck where they appear before the
supreme court in the Lignite-Bowbells

compel the canvassing board Of Burke
county to count the vote in certain
precincts which they had refused
to do.
Ignite and Bowbells were close
contestants for Burke county seat
honors and when the votes were count
ed Ignite had a small lead over Bow
bells. Certain irregularities were all
legged, however, in the vote in several
precincts and these Q thrown out
by the canvassing board thus giving
BowbeIls the victory. Ignite asked
for a writ OF mandamus compelling
the ca~nvassing board to count these
votes and this was denied by Judge
TempIeton. 1t is from this decision
that Ignite is appealing. Bowbells

"Marse'' Henry Watterson, the

of The Louisville Courier-Journal,
says that Colonel Roosevelt Is in
sane. He doesn't beat around the
bush as some timid souls would
do, and suggest that possibly the
colonel is a little off; but comes
right out in his paper with the
statement that, 1.-THE Roosevelt

skin Boats Of the EAST.

Harper's Weekly: From time imme-
mortal the people of Asia have used
inflated skins of animals ais boats.
The practice is not 80 widely spread
as formerly, but in India to this day
the skins of the diminutive buffaloes
still serve the natives for their wher-
ries. Their weight is not above 16
pounds, SO that they are easily carried
across the country from one river to
another. The cost of a skin is quoted
at about rs cents.
The skins used for this purpose are
stripped Off in this manner An incision
is made In the back part of the hind
leg of a buffalo, almost the whole
length, and the skin, being flayed off
from the hook, is urned upward. The
hide is then doubled up and buried
for a few days in order to produce
as much decomposition as will favor
the separation of the hair, which is
rubbed off with the hands or with a
blunt wooden knife without abrasion
Of the skin. The skin is then turned
inside out and the eyes and other
openings are sew ed up. 1t is then
turned back again and the main incis-
ion is sewed up with thongs of raw
hide.
The open ends of the limbs are tied,
except one, which is left open as a
tube by which to initiate the skin.
The thin tar procured from the deodar
and other species Of pine is then
poured INTO the. skin n shaken UNI
til the flesh inside Is well charged
with it, I'M the skin is then Well
tanned exteriorly by sleeping it in
an infusion of p~omegranite husks.
When required for Use the wafer
man blows into 1t through the hind
tube and ties up the opening. Al dou-
Bile thin cord is fastened around the
inflated skin, across which the water
man places himself on his chest, hold
Ting the string with his left hand while
with his right leg he manages q short
oar, assisting his passage with mis-
hands and feet.
When not inflated the skin Is flung
over the back and carried without
any inconvenience.
No expedient seems equally well
adapted for the transport Of large bod
les of men and baggage over the most
rapid rivers or as likely TO be carried
or board ship.
