CATCH GERMS IN AIR FILTER
French Psychologist Makes Public De-
tails Of Newly Invented Apparatus
for Purifying Air.

A French psychologist, Prof. Charles
Ricnet OF the Academy Of Medicine.
has recently made public in detail a
description OF his newly invented ap.
raratus for Purifying the air In rooms.
The design of this filter is an adapta-
ton OF the principle involved In the
experiments for determining the mum.

by the director Of the Mont-Souris OBJ
~servatory at MIGUEL.
Professor Richet's invention con-
sists OF a v%entilator driven by cleo.
tricity and capable of displacing 200
cubic meters OF air an hour. A reser-
voir containing glycerine is fastened
Immediately beneath the fans OF the
'entilator. When the fans rotate
they draw up fine drops OF this glyc-
crime and scatter Il In a spray along

present In the atmosphere. adhere to
The viscous drops and fall to the bot
tom of the apparatus. This method
corresponds to natures wholesale pu-
riication Of the atmosphere when
there Ia a heavy rainfall.
Professor Richet believes that the
use OF this apparatus would be most
elective In preventing c~ontagion by
the germs of acarlatfna smallpox and

SOIL CONDITIONS
never BETTER

Bismarck, n. d, May 3.-Among the
distinguished visitors at the state capt.
tai is A. d. Gaines of Minneapolis. Mr..
Gaines is perhaps n Of the best
known land men in the state, having
large interests both in the Red river
valley and in the slope country.
Mr.. Gaines recently came up from
Valley City, where he has been look
ing after his farming interests in
Barnes county. He will visit his Riv-
erside ranch near Sanger during his
stay in this section.
""The farmers in the valley are get
ting along very nicely with their seed
ing and spring work" said Mr.. Gaines.
THE soil conditions were never bet
ter. There is plenty of moisture in
the ground, and it has already thawed
out beyond two feet in depth. Below
this thawed ground there are sti1I
about five feet of frost. This was
learned at Valley City by workmen
who were e~xcayating for some oil
tanks.
Excellent reports have reached me
concerning conditions in the slope
country. They are very favorable for
securing splendid crops. We have our
wheat and oats about fri. I propose
to start the teams and two gasoline
traction blowing outfits at work on
my ranch In Mercer county to break
new land for flax. The amount OF
course will depend largely upon wealth
err conditions. 7 expect to put in sew
eral hundred acres of flax however.

That. on one occasion he attempted
suicide and was prevented by her.
That when she left last Thursday

never returning to him.
That his grievance which dated back
to the time she signed a quit claim

That she knew he had poison on

That he arose Thursday morning,

health.

Grand Forks, N. D. May 3.-Before
the Grand Forks and Nelson county
w. c. T. U. convention, which is in
convention here, is adjourned, resolu-
tons will be introduced in opposition
to the initiative and referendum. Judg-

by the state w. c. T. u. itself, it is ex-
pected the resolution will be passed.
While the plan of campaign against
the initiative and referendum has not
been outlined in detail, the women
propose to make their opposition evil
dent in the state legislature next year,
where three bills passed by the last
assembly will come up for considera-
ton again. In the event that the COM
ing legislature passes the bills, they
will go to the polls for notifications,
being constitutional amendments, and
it is there the greatest fight will be
made. The prohibition forces oppose

DEMOCRATS HOPE
TO WIN N. Dakota

Devils Lake, N. d. May 3.-With
the time for the state democratic con-
ference drawing near, at which a full
ticket will be placed in the field, the
activities of that party are becoming
noticeable. Tuesday, May z, Is the
time fixed, and the democrats are lay
ing plans with the object of putting
the strongest possible ticket in the
field, believing that they nave more
than an even chance to win next fall.
North Dakota democrats believe that
the nomination Of Governor Wilson
for president, by their party, and of
President Taft by the republicans,
would put the state in the democratic
column next fall. With the presi-
Dental candidate they believe, also,
that they will be able to elect one or
two congressman, as we'll as the gu
b~ernatorial candidate and probably
several of the state officials. Six years
of democratic power in the guberna-
torial chair has made them ever more
keen about retaining that hold.
Not Likely to Indorse. t,s 8.
If the sentiment OF the majority Is
followed in the coming conference, nc
attempt will be made to indorse a
gubernatorial candidate. The cam
paign between the two candidates,
George P. Jones and F. o. Hellstrom,
| has grown interesting. There still is a
possibility that oliver Knudson will
become a candidate for governor. The
general consensus is that Governor
Burke will not consent to have his
name submitted a fourth time for
gubernatorial honors
Congressional candidates in the
| districts have not been selected as
yet, although several Barkises have
| come forward in three districts. In the
First district an effort was made to
bring w. E. Purcell of Wahpeton into
the race, but he has absolutely re-
fused to be considered. v. r. Lowell
of Fargo, and ]. F. T. O'Connor of
Grand Forks are other democrats in
that district who nave been considered
and one of them may be selected.
Second and Third Districts.
In the Second district an interesting
situation has developed. A. J. Mink
Ter of Knox has been a candidate for
the nomination for some time, but his
candidacy has not appealed particular
ly to the democrats in the southern
end Of the district, and some of them
have made an effort to bring S. J.
Doyle of Darlington into the race. So
far he has not consented, although he
may yet be brought into the contest.
The Third district seems to be unit
ed on H. L. Halyorson of Minot as
the candidate.
Whether the state conference will
touch on the situation or not, is uncer-
tain, as the matter of congressional
nominees is largely up to the dis
triets. 1t is probable, however, that
some steps will be taken at the state
meeting towards bringing about a
consideration of the district question.
