HOPE STEELE AUGUST
MURDER STILL MYSTERY.
Clues Which Fargo Police Had Were
False.

Fargo.-Will the murder of julius
Hanson by highwaymen prove to be
repetition of the Spencer murder of
less than a year ago? Will the Lin
coin school murderers, like those who
shot down Spencer in front of the
Nichols & Shepherd building, go their
way unmolested?
The Fargo police department has
absolutely no clue on which to work.
The theory upon which the police
have been at work since the midnight
assassination has proven false, say
the authorities.
The Fargo young man who has
been under suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the crime was taken to the
police station and given a rigid cross
examination. He is able to furnish an
alibi, say authorities. The young man
was within block of the scene of
the murder when the crime was COM
mitted. He heard the shot and the
excitement which followed, say the
authorities, and ran to the scene Of
the crime. arriving there a moment
after the police.
i, To further substantiate the story
told by the young man, States At
torney Arthur w. Fowler has request.
ed that two Aneta, NJ D., girls, whom
Hanson took to the state fair two
weeks ago, come to the city. They
will tell the authorities whether Han
son had any trouble at the fair
grounds, while in their company.
Witnesses were found Tuesday who
said Hanson did not have a quarrel
with two men at the fair. The Aneta
girls are expected to reach the city
today.
Having abandoned the theory that
revenge was the motive for Hanson's
murder, the authorities have returned
to the conclusion that robbery was
probably the motive. Before he died
Hanson was unable to say who he
\ thought attacked him. Authorities
say that if revenge had been the mo-
tive Hanson would have been able to
tell who attacked him.
Nothing new-nothing" is the re.
sponse of the police to inquiries for
information as to development in the
case. At every turn the authorities
have run against thin air. There is
not even a Glue to work upon, they
say.

MANY ARE INSURED
Law to Provide for DisabIemenl
Starts Well in England.
Physicians Oppose Measure Because
of Small Examination Fees and
Society People Object to Buy
ing Stamps for Servants.

London.-So far as can be Judged
In the three days that the new ma
tional insurance act, compelling work.
ing people to insure against sickness
and disablement, has been in force
and before any payments, except In
case of casual laborers, have fallen
due, the measure is working, accord.
ing to the government officials, more
smoothly than was anticipated.
The working men and working WON.
en- have taken up the great reform
with alacrity, and the government es'
Inmates that of the 100000 persons
insurable before the act came into
force, upwards of 100000 already
have registered with societies and
another 100000 have taken out cards
at the postoffice.
The doctors, as represented by the
British Medical association, still are
nounce their intention of refusing to
attend patients under it's provisions
An organization including mum.
ber of society people also has been
formed with the object of resisting
payment for domestic servants. That.
however, is chiefly political move, SO
that the only real opposition the gov.
ernment has to face is that of the doc.
tors. The government has offered the
doctors four shillings and six pence
approximately s1.12) annually for
each person insured, but the doctors
demand eight shillings and six pence
approximately $2.12) each.
The only section of the community
likely to derive any benefit from the
ual workers and old people, both men
and women, as some of the big employ
ers have decided to do away with this
form Of labor.
Besides the casual laborers are not
likel yto derive any benefit from the
=, measure. While they are working and
the employers are paying part of the
premiums the casuals will no. suffer
much, but they will be unable to pay
their full dues the weeks when they
are out of work and thus will lose
the benefits OF previous payments.
AS the first employer Of casual
laborer will have to buy the necessary
stamp, there is a decided objection on
the part Of the employers to become
the first employer" To obviate that
a clearing house has been started in
Liverpool docks to apportion the dues
among the employers. The men struck
against this at first, but the majority
Of them since have accepted.
While the Unionist party is making
campaign ammunition out Of the ma
tional insurance act, there are many
earnest supporters Of 1t among the in.
dividual members of the party, not the
least Of whom is Waldorf Astor.

More Claims Given Away.

f: Minot.-Over 700 new claims in the
Berthold Indian reservation will be
given away when Judge James w.
Witten calls the numbers from 1851 to
5000 Of the 5000 names drawn at
the opening year ago, 1850 numbers
were called last May. This resulted
in 511 people taking claims. 1t was
therefore necessary to call the rest of
the numbers. and this will be started
this week. 1t is probable that the
entire 5000 names will be called.

Holds Up Two More Women.

Grand Forks. = Two more Grand
Forks women have been held up by
the boy bandit who has held sway
near the city. Jessie and Minnie
Blakeley, sisters, were the latest VIC
tins of the boy, but he failed to get
any cash. The boy is described by
them to be about ID years old, and
he wore the regulation bandanna ker-
chief, which completely masked his
face, and he forced his demands for
money with a revolver The officials
have not been able to secure any clue
to the hold-up's identity.

Hospital From Courthouse.

Ellendale.-The matter Of convertins
the old courthouse, when it is vacated
by the officials upon moving into the
tai, was voiced at large mass meet
ing of citizens called by the CONNER
cial club. The building is an ideal
one for such purposes. The plan tC
have the county commissioners turn
over the old building for hospital pur
poses and to receive as compensation
all county nursing without charge
The proposition met with the hearty
approval of nearly every man.

upon learning of the sudden death of

most influential residents of the city,

vanced years. Mr.. Folsom was in

HOW TO Fight THE
SOUTHERN GRASS worm

ing off and destroying all the worms
Where there are children to do this,
It will undoubtedly pay on small
farm. Time may be saved by carry
ing large open vessel with small
amount of oil and water in 1t. The
worms are shaken from the plants in
to this vessel and the oil win kill them
Live Stock Where large numbers
of cattle OF other live stock are pres
ent, they may be turned into badly
infested fields and by eating and
, tramping will kill many of the worms.
We know of instances where this has
recently been used in this state.
Where poultry can be turned into
gardens or about small acres they eat
the worms very greedily.
Jarring.-We have found a number
Of farmers who have fastened pieces
Of brush to the harness or singletree
while cultivating the crops so that the
worms would be knocked off and COW
cred. This does some good but prob
ably most of the worms get back to
the plant.
Poisoning Ditch-banks, Terraces,
and Fence-rows.-As the moths of
those insects prefer grass in which
to deposit their eggs, the worms are
often discovered in such places. II
crops are planted nearby it is absclu.
tely necessary that the worms be de
} stroyed. Any method that will kill
them cen be used but poisoning such
strips is usually the most practical
method of doing 1t. If strip of grass
separates an infested field from one
that is not infested, the strip should
be poisoned. Care must be taken I.
q keep stock from the poison.
, Throwing Dust or Wood Ashes oil

G been tested so far as the writer know
q but he has heard it mentioned by man
farmers. He will be glad to hea
