tiOa and Reed Vas Con-
fifmed IN Office

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2S.--Erank
Reed will remain in the Office of post.
master at Bismarck.
The Bismarck postofflce was not in
cluded in the withdrawal of the re.
cent confirmation of postmasters in
the state during the executive session
of the senate Tuesday on account OF a
peculiar muddle in correspondence.
Reed was appointed to the Office six
months ago to succeed Mrs. Agatha
G.. Patterson. Edward G. Patterson,
her husband made some objection to
the new appointment and Senator Nc.
Cumber took the matter before the
senate. '"
Recently Mr.. Patterson wrote to
Senator McCumber stating that he
was not going to make any further op-
position to Reed and intimating that he
desired McCumber to let the matter
take IT'S natural course"
Apparently there was no other ma
tural course'' but confirmation OF
Reed SO McCumber withdrew his op-
position. After It MAS. too late TO con.
tssta aRsed u 1pe ntfnsnt1 Nj: PxttttelA Asson
wrote cCalmber axala stating that5hs
meant an entirely different, natural
course"
Confirmation of appointments to
postmasterships in Bowman, Caring.
ton, Velva and Valley City were with.
drawn at the executive session Of the
senate Tuesday after Senator Gronna
called attention to the fact that a
gentlemans agreement existed to the
effect that not one of the Offices should
receive confirmation until his return
from North Dakota.
It is probable that Mr.. Mansfield
will be named by the senate committee
as receiver of public moneys at Will
liston this week while indications are
that Otto R. Meyers will receive
similar post at Dickinson. An attempt
to defeat the nomination Of w. o.
Lowden for postmaster at McHenry
on account of his alleged prison record
is not taken seriously at Washington.

Take Time to Study Seed Cata1ogs.

Farmers should send for catalogues
early SO as to have plenty of time to
study them and to determine without
haste just what varieties they want to
plant the coming seasonn. Varieties
are multiplying so fast, some of which
are of decided value, that it is we'll
worth while to make careful investiga-
ton whether you want to try them or
stick to the old, tried crops. Much
depends, too, upon the catalogue.
Some are given to verbal fireworks,
while others give you at once a feel
ing of confidence that only facts are
stated, even though some wonderful
figures as to crops are reported. OF
this latter. class is the catalogue of
John A. Salzer, the old reliable seeds
man of La Crosse, Wis. No seeds
man is better known to our readers,
and probably no one sells to a greater
number or greater acreage of such
staple crops as Alfalfa, Red Glover,
Oats, Barley, Corn and Potatoes.
His catalogue, including the big

The motto, cit is better to be safe
than sorry" can be applied with ex-
cellent judgment in selecting the
Queen Incubator, built in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
The Queen is manufactured by a
man whose cardinal principle is to
build honestly. Other manufacturers
may make and sell more incubators
than p. M. Wickstrum does. But this
can be depended upon. Every Queen
that goes out of the Wickstrum factory
is built according to the Wickstrum
idea.
Buyers of Queen Incubators are not
disappointed. Queen Incubators are
honestly built throughout What is
more, they have the matching
spirit" or as Mr.. Wickstrum puts it
they have "hatchabil1ty. The
Queen everywhere has a record that
is not surpassed by any other machine
for making high per cent matches of
strong, livable chicks.
In connection with the Queen
several facts might be mentioned.
These are significant:
1st. Queen sales are larger each
succeeding year. 1t has made its
way to all parts of the country.
End. The Queen in many success
full poultry plants is at work side by
side with the highest priced in
cubators made. 1t has never taken a
back seat for any of them.
To the reader who is about to pur-
chase an incubator, let us say again
you can buy the excellent Queen at a
fair price and make sure of being
safe instead of sorry. Address Mr..
Wickstrum at Lincoln, Neb., and he
will be glad to send you a catalog
with % reasons for the Queen S
superiority.

The M. M. Johnson Company, of
Clay Center, Neb., has supplemented
their incubator and brooder advertis-
ing to poultry men by an uncommonly
useful catalogue this year. Not only
are their machines thoroughly de-
scribed, and their operation SO plain
ly taught that beginner could not
90 astray, but there are several articles
of real value to the poultry growers.
Old Trusty is one of the standard
incubators, and the company has
grown from small plant of a half
dozen workmen until it is now one of
the largest incubator plants in
Nebraska, if not in the country.
The catalogue this year contains
nearly 100 pages, is we'll printed and
worthy of place on any poultryman' S
desk. 1t can be had by addressing
their home office, at Clay Center,
Nebraska.

The sight of bejeweled wo-
man passenger tempted him to
robbery. That night, in Septem-
Der, 1904, he stealthily entered
her 'stateroom and choking her
until he thought she was dead,
stole her jewels and money.
He was arrested, and under an
old law defining robbery on the
high seas" as piracy, he was
convicted and sentenced for life.
That sentence is the only posi-
bic punishment for piracy under
the law, and cannot be committed
by pardon or parole, except by
special act of congress.

prison at Detroit, eight years ago,
he was ignorant, stepped in vice,

inal of the underworld.

refined and a model prisoner.

The officers of the prison say
he is one of the most intelligent
and best prisoners here. R. V.
LaDow, superintendent of fed
eral prisons, will ask congress to
parole him.
Soon after he began serving his
sentence at Detroit, Kirwin took
up a correspondence course in en-
gineering, and proved one of the
star pupils. After completing the
engineering course, the pirate"
took ID university extension
work, specializing in literature,
natural science and psychology.
Joseph Kirwin, who became

Now he wants a CHANCE. He
