GOSCHUSKI CASE
HOLDS ATTENTION

Hillsboro. N. D., March 29.-In re-
cent years there mas not been a case
before Judge Pollock in the district
court here Than the one of the state
against Laura G~oschuski, now being
tried. A charge of forgery was first
entered against the defendant out IaC-
er changed to obtaining money under
false pretenses.
On account of the prominence of the
parties involved, the courtroom in the
Trail county courthouse has been
packed throughout the hearing, worse
than a grand opera performance at
Covent Garden in the heat of the
London summer season.
Miss Laura Goschuski is charged
with issuing a check for SO drawn on
August Henka made payable to his
daughter, Miss Emma Henka. The
check was endorsed and cashed at the
P. P. Miller shoe store. Miss Goschus-
Xxi and Miss Henka are cousins. Both
disclaim endorsing the check.
The Goschuski and Henka families
are among the wealthiest in Trail
counting. 1t is costing the state about
5000 ITO try the case and the Goschus-
kis more than that amount in fight
ing the case. States Attorney Lyche
is conducting thep rosecution. Theo-
dore Kalder of. Hillsboro and George
A. Bangs of Grand Forks are attor-
neys for the defense.

Speeulativo Gossip.

Chicago.-Wire communication with
the outside world improved yesterday,
but still below the normal. There is
no disposition on the part Of specula-
tors, however, to branch out. Those
who were bearish on wheat and coarse
grains said they believe there was
nothing legitimate in the vance of
yesterday, it being merely a techni-
ca; affair. The bulls and conserva-
tive people who studied the specu-
lative situation closely and watched
the action Of the markets said prices
of late have advanced too easily TO
make a good bear market at present,
hat there is not enough trade to war
rant buying for more than a quick
turn, and they advocated a trading
position favoring sales on bulges and
purchases on all good breaks. A fea-
ture pointed out by the tS.lS was that
the shipments this week exceeded the
receipts, the excess VI wheat ship
H1ents over receipts being nearly
100000 bushels. It is said that the
grain has been loaded out of eleva-
tors into cars but the railroads are
not hauling them out of the city, and
will mo- until traffic conditions in In
Giana and Ohio are greatly improved.

. HAD REPORTS OF PROGRESS.

One Fargo establishment has alrea-
dy begun the use Of the North Da-

SEEKS To
COLLECT FUND

With a deficit of $4,000 still exist
ing, a renewd effort will be made to
collect the amount necessary to pay
for the silver service for the battle
ship North Dakota. Secretary Brock
hoff of the commission, has again
started work, sending out statements
to each county as to the amount owed
and urging prompt remittance. The
plan of having dollar contributions
merely was abandoned some time ago
and it is expected that prominent men
throughout the state will come to the
rescue with liberal contributions.
1t was expected that the bill intro
duced in the recent legislative session
appropriating $500 would be enacted
and solve the problem, but the meas
ure was lost in the final shuttle.
The following statement ISSUED by
Secretary Brockhoff, shows the stand
| ing Of the Narinns counties: -

LABOR SUPPLY
APPEARS LOW

Grand Forks Herald Farmers
throughout this section are beginning
to complain about the difficulty of
securing men for the spring work.
What with the large force of men re-
CURED for construction work on the
railroads and what with the number
Of men who are going into Canada
and the western states, the b sup
ply is running rather low.
In discussing the subject, J. w.
Scott of Gilby, declared that he had
found that many of the men who had
been dependable workers were moving
heard wages were higher in those sec
tons. Reports from Canadian sources
indicate that the demand there will
not be as large as expected.
The local Commercial club has de-
cided to take up the matter and any
farmers having difficulty in securing
sufficient farm help should cores
pond with Secretary Graves and an
7 effort will be made to supply all de-
mands. Mr.. Graves received a letter
some time ago from an eastern agri-
cultural college asking if there was
an opportunity to secure employment
for a large number Of students. With
the other information which he has
on file, 1T will be possible to get into
touch with the eastern labor supply.
The club rendered important service
In the work of securing laborers last
fall.
A shortage of labor would be par
ticularly unfortunate this year be-
cause of the great amount of work
which remains to be done. On ac-
count of the heavy rains last fall very
little blowing was done and moreover
there is considerable threshing which
remains to be done. Under these con-
ditions an unusually large number of
iaborers will be required.
Methods Discussed.
With the shortage of labor problem
arising, the various methods which
have been proposed for securing an
adequate supply of competent help
will receive greater consideration. The
problem was thoroughly discussed by
Editor Hughes at the Corn and Clover
convention, the necessity of making
living conditions for the hired help
more satisfactory being emphasized
Recently Prof. Andrew Boss of the
Minnesota agricultural college brought
forth the idea of having farmers ur
big land owners build small houses on
their properties, buy a COW or two and
some chickens for each and employ
married men instead of single men To
help in the fields. This is the only
way to avoid being short of help in
seeding and ~thresning times, he says.
In discussing shortage of hired hands
Professor Boss stated his preference
for the married man, who wal t'held
down" by his wife and family and was
therefore much steadier and much
] more desirable.

draws things upward and a whirling that
tears things to bits. In frequent instances it
has been known to drive StrawS through half
inch planks, a performance suggesting a
velocity at least equal to that of a rifle bull
let The funnel cloud usually carries with
it great quantities of mud, sand, and small
pebbles, which are driven into the flesh of
the human beings it comes across, causing
sores that are difficult to heal. 1t will twist
iron girders and railroad rails like cork
screws; it will tear oak trees three feet in
diameter into splinters hardly bigger than
matches; it will drink up the water of all
the ponds and streams 1t passes over, leav-
ing them dry; it will pull house savagely
to pieces, but leave one room untouched;
and it will melt to mere Jumps of metal such
things as corset steels, watches, penknives,
punches of keys, coins, and other substances
that happen to be on the persons of men
and women so unfortunate as to be in its
way.
One of the most ordinary performances OF
tornadoes is to suck all the water out of
wells and cisterns. In one instance two
buckets of milk, hanging at a depth of twen-
ty-five feet in well, were pulled up and car
ried away, never to be heard from again.
So far as the records go, there has been only
one case where human power was success
fully opposed to that of the twister. This
was the incident of fat old lady at Sher-
man, Texas, in 1896, who, when she heard
the tornado coming, fastened to shut the
front door, placing her weight firmly against
it. The monster tried in vain to open it;
then whirled round to the back door, giving
it shake; but had not time to stop, and
passed on.

sixty miles an hour The only obstacle that
will break the force of a tornado is range
of mountains. Not being able to go through
the mountains, the whirling cloud is DETECTED
upward, and its currents finish their struggle
far aloft, where they can do no harm. Thus,
the only effective safeguard a city can possess
against such storms is mountain range on
the southwest New York and Boston are
thus defended but Chicago, Cleveland,
Buffalo, and Detroit are rnguarded.
TORNADOES within recent years have
excited much greater attention than
formerly; for the reason that towns are
more numerous, and disasters from this
cause proportionately more frequent. In
what is known as the tornado belt resort
is had by prudent persons to the precautlon-
ary expedient of the SO called "cyclone eel
lar" an excavation made through the west
wall of the house cellar outward, so that no
part of it shall be beneath the dwelling itself
1t is on the west side, because the danger is
always from that direction, and so that, if
the house is demolished, its ruins may be
thrown away from the cave. The floor of
the latter is made level with the floor of the
house cellar, and the earth roof is supported
bv heavy timbers and strongly arched with
masonry
A tornado usually travels from southwest
to northeast To escape it, one should run
either north or south Ordinarily one has
at least two or three minutes to get out Of
the way; so that, with presence of mind,
an alert Individual ought to be able to elude
the monster whose path of destruction
rarely exceeds three hundred feet in width.
Its power is manifested by suction that
