TRANSGRESSOR'S
WAY PROVED HARD

Scranton, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE way
of the transgressor is hard" and A. S.
Way after many shady dealings imini-
cal to the prohibition law of North
Dakota has gone his way where, no
doubt, oscar Pepper and other
poison Of it's kind, can be sold without
infringing upon the law. However,
MI. Way did not leave without part
ing with a considerable amount of the
fruits gathered during the process of
exchanging oscar Pepper" for good
hard cash at the rate Of about 81 a
pint. The parting-with the money
came about in this way. Deputy
Sheriff Oelkers, being determined to
minimize the liquor evil as far as pos
sible in Scranton, made sundry in
vestigations. Mr.. Way was known as
the past master in the art of getting
between wine bibbers and their good
hard money, and was taken in with
enough of the goods to make 1t a
clear case. After being arrested Way
got away from his guard and made
his way to Reeder where he expected
to take a train out of the country but
the vigilance Of Deputy Sheriff DEL
kers and Marshal Meyer were not to
be escaped and they retook the
prisoner at Reeder. After a few days
in the county Jail awaiting trial, Mr..
Way put up a cash bond Of $500 for
his appearance in county court and
when his case was called in county
court Tuesday he was not there and
could not be found. The $500 bond
was forfeited and Mr.. Way is out of
the way.

ClOgged Bowels a
Menace to Health
Constipation at Bottom of Most Ser
. ious Hlnesses-AvOided by a
Simple Remedy.

iOuS Iilnesses-AvOided by "a
Simple Remedy.
Trace the origin of the commener
Ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond it's time without
vitiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches and with its &C
companying indigestion and sleepless-
ness, There is only one thing to do,
and that is to remove the trouble and
when nature seems unable to do IT.,
outside aid is necessary. You will find
the best of all outside aids a remedy
that many thousands are now using
for this very purpose, called DR.. Cald-
of letters are received by DR.. Caldwell
telling of the good results obtained,
and among the enthusiastic letters Is
one from Docia Wood of Little River
Academy, North Carolina, who suffered
with constipation and indigestion so
badly that she could not sleep well at
night and everything h ate distress
ed her. h write that after her mother
had given her DR.. CaldwelTs Syrup
Pepsin she "can now eat anything"
1t has untold advantages over pills,
salts and the various coarse ~cathartics
and ~purgatives, for while these do but
temporary good, Syrup PepSin cures
permanently. The effect of it's action
is to train the stomach and bowel mus
cles to do their work naturally again,

NEWS OF HI NORTHWEST

nected with the Middle West Fire
Insurance Co, and brings the good
news that that gentleman is pre-
pared to launch a first class electric
light plant at Mott under reasonable
conditions. MI. Lee requires a
guarantee of 1000 lights of sixteen
candle power and a site furnished.
If this guarantee can be secured the
gentleman stands ready to establish
the enterprise at once. The Press
understands that the price of the cleo
trio juice will be placed at 20 cents
kilowatt. and correspondingly
Richard Chalmers has been commits
stoned to ascertain the number of
lights which can be guaranteed. He
is now circulating a petition securing
signatures for the above purpose.
When last seen Mr.. Chalmers had
about 600 lights promised and many
more yet to see. 1t is to be hoped
that enough signers may be had to
make up the guarantee. The only OBJ
lection offered so far is the rate. It
is claimed that other cities are paying
no higher than Is cents. This is a
matter which we believe will adjust
itself satisfactorily if the guarantee
is secured.

tom TAGGART
CONVICTED And
GIVEN 50 YEARS

Devils Lake, N, D., Feb. 11.-Tom
Taggart was sentenced to thirty years
in the state ~penitentiary for the muir
der of Dick Haberly.
The jury in the district court that
had heard the evidence against him re-
turned a verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree.
Judge Buttz pronounced the SEN
tence.
Haberly and Taggart had become
involved in a quarrel over the affec-
lions of a woman OF the underworld.
The trouble came to a head on the
night of Oct. %, when Taggart and
Haberly met in the woman's home.
There was a shooting, and Haberly
was instantly killed.
Taggart was successful in hiding for
several hours, being captured the next
morning He denied his guilt, and
constantly maintained that he did not
kill Haberly until neal the close Of
the trial when he admitted having
shot the man, claiming self defense.
The final evidence was introduced
Saturday afternoon and the case given
to the jury that evening.

MOTT EXPECTS TO
GET IMPROVEMENTS

Mott, N. D., Feb. 11.-That the ad-
vent of spring will see a mill and an
electric light plant commenced at
Mott, is among the probabilities for
the county eat town. Next week, w.
c. Bailey of Garden City, S. D., will
come to Mott to talk over the pro-
position of putting in a flour mill and
an electric light plant at this point.
Mr.. Bailey's letters indicate he is very
much in earnest and means business.
At present he is a resident of Garden
City and has already for shipment a
complete up to date milling plant of
fifty barrel capacity and an electric
light plant. Mr.. Bailey well
recommended and his last letter states
he will try and be here Tuesday to
confer with our village board mem
bers and commercial club as to the
establishment of these plants.

Old Acc.

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process Of nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. 1t stands for expert
ence, knowledge, wisdom, counsel.
That is old age as it should be. but
old age as 1t often is means poor di-
gestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liv-
er and a general feeling of i'll health,
dependency and misery. This in al
most every instance is wholly un-
necessary. One of -Chamberlain's
Tablets taken Immediately after sun

up the liver and regulate the bowels.
That feeling of dependency will give

TWO TOWNSHIPS JOIN HANDS
Western Penbina County Will Make
Bid for Meridian Road,

Pembina, N. D., Feb. 11.-That there
will be just as much interest in the
work of constructing the Meridian
road in Pembina county this year as
there was last year is indicated by
activities already under way in the
Neches district. o..
1t is stated there that an agree
ment has been reached by Neche and
Bathgate townships whereby the Mer-
idian road between the two places
will be kept in good condition at all
times. The contract system of handI-
ing the work or this highway will be
adopted, and an effort will be made to
secure the expenditure of a part of
the automobile tax upon the road.

LOFT when the sun gets hot and the
neglect at the time seriously afTects
their yields. The successful farmer
is the one who pushes his crop all the
time instead of letting his crop push
him. It is poor economy to do 80
pc recent of work on crop and neg.
lect 10 pc rccnt at critical time that
will cut the yield half in two.
have seen many farmers do 30 !
have also seen corn planted too thick
and neglect to thin until the corr was
waist high, the extra stalks remain
ing robbing those remaining of Just
that prOportionate amount of Liant
food. Corn should be thinned just as
soon as danger of the cut worm is
passed when it is six inches high 1t
is better still, to be careful in the Sc
lection of seed. Plant Just as you
want the corn to stand. The occa-
sional missing stalk does not amount
to as much loss as the drain on the
plant food where the corn is plant
ed too thick and allowed to stand too
long without thinning. 1t is poor
economy for farmer to spend money
for fertilizer to grow crop of corn,
then leave it standing too thick too
long or allow weeds and grass to
grow along with the corn and take
UP plant food intended for the corn.
The farmer should never undertake
to cultivate more than he is sure he
can cultivate thoroughly and when it
needs it, and he should know that
anything allowed to grow with his
corn is taking away just so mucn of
plant food the corn should have. Any
thing that is worth doing at al, is
worth doing well The man who
practices this truth will succeed
while the slipshod way means fail
ure every time.

WATERMELONSHERE
IN AN ABUNDANCE
BUT UNLESS THERE is CHANGE
IN THE WEATHER CROP
WILL PLAY OUT.

In spite of the long spell of dry
weather, the longest and most severe
since the great drouth of 1881, wa.
termelons are fairly abundant on this
market. However, many of the loads
on the square today are small, there
being comparatively few large mel
ons this year Unless rain should
come in abundance soon, the crop is
going to give out unusually early. AS
a rule melons are seen on the market
here until frost but that will MOI be
the case this year without a decided
change in the weather. The melons
are of fine flavor, and the price, con.
sidering the weather conditions, is
very reasonable. The demand is
good and growers have generally had
little trouble in disposing of heir
oads
