LumInsseenes Of Nitrogen.

It has been found that nitrogen, Wig
orously and spectroseopically pure, &C
Quires continuous luminescence,
during the electric discharge, and
therefore this phenomenon can no
longer be attributed 20 the presence
Of traces Of oxygen. In the pres
enes Of metallic vapors, such as those
OF mercury, sodium or potassium, says
the Scientific American, the phenome-
non is not produced owing to the nj
trogen's being attacked by the metal
lie 7apors, forming a combination OF
the metal with nitrogen. The pres
ence Of oxygen, which oxides the met
allie Tapors, binders their action on
the active nitrogen and renders its
formation possible.

Judge to succeed the late Charles E.
Willard probably will be made before

place.
Among those prominently mentioned
for the position are Judge Wilbur F.
Booth of Minneapolis and George l..
Bum of st. Paul. associate justice Of
he states supreme court. Both are
we'll known in Red Wing.
Rumors current that Judge Booth
would be the federal nominee could not
be confirmed in Washington. Booth,
however. is said to ave the backing OF
Fred Lynch, John Lind and w. S. Ham
mond, the only democratic congressman
from Minnesota.
Another state political story Of in

didacy of James Manahan, congress-
man at large. for the republican nOmi-
nation for attorney general, was made
hv Mr.. Manahan in Washington, and
also in a telegram received by George

MANY HORSES
ARE DISEASED

Bismarck, N. D., May 1.-The state
livestock sanitary board has been ask
ed by the Cattle owners association
of Williams county to establish. a
quarantine against horses coming
from Mckenzie county, because of the
alleged prevalence of dourine, and has
done 30.
This disease is reported prevalent in
several sections of the state, notably
on the Fort Berthold Indian reserva-
ton. Standing Rock reservations and
in the Kildeer mountain district in
Dunn county.
Quarantine regulations already have
been declared effective over a portion
of the Berthold reservation district.
Numerous horses have been conf1scat-
ed and will be shot.
Indemnity for Owners.
Under an arrangement hat is being
made by the state board with the fed
eral government, indemnity will be
paid to the horse owners to almost the
full value OF the animals.
The state board has promulgated
special orders having to do with the
fight, and stringent regulations will be
enforced.
The board is also warning against
the indiscriminate use of hog cholera
virus. It is charged that the virus has
been used bv persons who are not
aware of the proper methods, and that
more damage than good has resulted.
Prohibition against the use of the
virus and it's distribution is ordered.

they rendered proof of settlement n

That is exactly what the status
sums up to. And the state Of Mime

it's property and rights as a sacred

than the land is worth, and driving

have been bled into paying lawyers

s. P. RAILROAD
FILED ANSWER

Salt Lake City, Utah, May L.
The Southern Pacific CO. filed today in
the United States district court its
answer in the government suit to
divorce the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific. The answer after
specifically denying all allegations that
the Sherman antitrust law has been
violated, points out not only that the
two lines were originally built, operat-
I'd and developed as one road, but
that, as far back as 1898, the United
States government, itself, practically
recognized the combination as whole
some.
1t asserts, that in the joint opera
ton. of these lines, through trains
have been run by the most direct or
convenient route without reference to
their ownership, and that any separa-
ton of the Contra Pacific lines from
those Of the Southern Pacific cannot
now be had without detriment to both
properties, and without impairing and
inconveniencing the public service and
the communities through which the
lines pass.

Farmers and Dairymen Benefit.

Reports from the farmers themselves
in Clay county and from all parts OF
northwest Minnesota and adjoining
states are TO the effect that in the long
run the rain falls during the early part
of the week will prove to be a great
and very valuable asset to all of the
armer and dairymen.

the nourishing pasturage for cattle

approximately ST. 500, 900 a week to the
farmers of Minnesota, according to es-
Inmates by Prof. T. l.. Hacker, chief
Of the division of dairy and animal In
dustry of the college of agriculture.
This is how Professor Hacker esti-
mates the value of the little blades
that are lending so much to the a%ttrac-
tiveness of Minneapolis lawns and bou-
leVards. There are approximately L.
1850 mich cows in the state and
1,139.0OO head Of cattle not in this Gloss.
The cost of feeding amounts to approx
imately II. cents per week for each
milch cow and about so cents a week
per head for the other stock. This
means hat the food consumed by the
cattle of the state per week amounts to
81, 435, $50.
