Chicago, Dec. 2s,--Gharity hoped

Most Feared Specu'ator.
Three or four years ago Mr.. Pattel

His fellow members in Evanston
and his friends On the board of trade
say that every dollar he makes nova

Patten and Charity if board gos-

$1.50 if the war in Europe continues,
which would give Patten chance to

Defendants. ,@ q
Section ia of the Constitution OF
North Dakota prohibits the expendi-
ture of more than four mills on the
dollar of the assessed valuation of
property within the state. The legis-
lature of 1913 made appropriations
which if allowed in toto would exceed
this limit. The State Board of Equal.
iZatiOn scaled such appropriations to
make the same lawful. Thereupon
the educational institutions brought
mandamus in the Supreme Court to
compel the payment to them of their
full share. Pending such hearing the
defendant Nelson published an editor
ial wherein it was alleged that the
Supreme Court and the members OF
the Board of Equalization had entered
into a conspiracy to render a fake de-
cision before election to influence the
reelection of the Governor of this
state and to reverse its decision after
election.

ICHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS
Asphaltic Material From Austria
Scarce Because of War.

The Importation of ichthyol, peculiar
asphaltic material found in Austria,
which finds application after appropriate
chemical treatment as very important
medicament, has been, along with many
other products cut off by the war.
The raw material comes from n fossil
ferrous deposit near Seefeld in the Aus
trlan Tyrol. It.is carefully selected and
subjected to dry distillation. This dis
tillate thus obtained is then sulphonated
and subsequently neutralized with am
monia The use of this material has
greaty increased in the last few years,
and it has proved very beneficial.
Almost Immediately following the be-
ginning of the war It's price doubled,
going to more than 60 cents an ounce.
Already however, a firm in st. Louis mas
n material on the market which has been
favorably recommended as an efficient
substitute closely resembling ichthyol it
self.
