each Office.
The local office will make due no.
tation of the filing of the election on
their records as to the entry, or en-
tries, within their district, and will
at once forward the papers with their
recommendations to the general land
office, which will promptly pass upon
the question Of accepting the election.
Though the election be accepted
proofs on the entries will be submit
ted separately, as in other cases; 1t
will be necessary to show residence
on the selected homestead from ap-
p~rOXimately the date Of the selection
and on the entries of the respective
parties before said date. That act
makes no change whatever, in the re-
quirements as to cultivation and COM
pliance with the homestead law in this
regard must be shown as to each entry,
precisely as though the marriage had
not taken place.
If proof is made on the entry Sc
leCted as the home before title to the
other is earned, residence may never
theless be continued on the perfected
entry and credited to the other. How
ever, the act has no application to
cases where the requirements Of law
have been fulfilled as to one entry
prior to the marriage or to the filing
of the election.

LIGNITE COAL
FINDS MARKET

Dickinson, N. D., July 13.--It- is be-
ing demonstrated by owners of Ignite
coal mines with headquarters in Dick
inson, that with proper effort, a mar
ket can be found in summer as we'll as
winter months for the superior quality
or western North Dakota, coal mined
near this city.
Large contracts for future shipment
OF ignite coal have been secured by F.
+. Deiters, general sales agent of the
Dakota Ignite Mines Co., within the
past few weeks, which indicate a large
output of Ignite coal from their Zen
it'll and Pittsburgh mines during the
coming fall and winter. The output
from the mines of that company is ex-
pected within a short time to reach
800 to 400 tons daily, which will give
employment to a large force of men,
Last week Mr.. Deiters secured the
contract to furnish the state asylum
at Jamestown with $500 tons of lig-
mite during the coming winter months
Priority this spring he signed contracts
on behalf of the Dakota Ignite Mines
Co.. Of Dickinson, to ship within the
next few months about 5000 tons to
the Valley City Electric Co., 1000 tons
for the Fargo public schools, 1000 tons
to the Lisbon electric light Ilant, and
1000 tons for use of the Bismarck
hospital. The company expects to get
other contracts for large shipments,
as a result of their aggressive cam
paign to market the superior Ignite
coal from this section, in the eastern
part Of the state.

Two Unfortunates Ended
!. Own Lives Near Antler

with whom he had been making
/ his home since a year ago last April,
near the formers home, twelve miles
south of town. The top of his head
was completely torn off and a 12-gauge
shotgun, with which he had accom-
plished the deed, was held tightly in
his left hand.
David had been in the habit Of pre-
pairing the meals for his brother, who
is a bachelor, and when Robert came
in from the field for dinner he could
not find his brother either at the house
or barn. but on a table was the follow
ing note:
II have two hundred dollars in the
Cherokee State bank (meaning in Wis
consin) and two checks at the institu-
ton that I didn't collect or cash. Life
isn't worth living without feet so good
bye. l am going where they went.
Forgive me and ask God to forgive
Goodbye. David
The unfortunate man had lost both
his feet in an accident two years ago
and it was only with aid Of a crutch
ad a chat that he was able to get
around at all. He had taken the gun
from it's hook on the wall of the home
and with his chair and CrutCh had
managed to get about twenty rods
from the house. Here he placed the
muzzle of the gun to his head INC with
the aid of a wire fastened to the end
of his crutch managed to pull the trig-
ger. The top Of his head was torn
completely off and his brains scatter
ed in all directions.

BICKFORD MAY Be
PLACED IN PRISON

Bismarck, N. D., July 13.-Well vers-
ed legal authorities at Bismarck con-
tend that in spite Of the complete
pardon granted him by the state board
Of pardons at the semi-annua meeting
heId last month, @. L. BiCkford, former
state treasurer, found guilty over two
years 6 of embezzlement, will yet
be committed to the p~enitentiary. It
Is claimed that the pardon cannot
hned to prison according to the SEN
tence he received from the trial court.
On a change of venue Bickford was
tried in Mclean county, and after the
jury returned a verdict of guilty Dis
trtct Judge Crawford imposed q SEN
tence Of from one to three years In
state prison n also a fine of $1,000.
After the case had reached the supreme
court through several different routes
the higher court finally dismissed the
hne, but 1t sustained the lower court
as to the prison sentence. A few days
| after the anal decision Of tho supreme
court the pardon board met, and upon
a petition granted Bickford a full par
don. The pardon was Issued before
there had been any chance to commit
him to prisen, and with the issuance
of the pardon the matter seems to have
been dropped till within the last few
days.
1t now appears thai the clerk OF
court of Mclean county never issued
the commitment papers after the SEN
tence had been modified, even though
1t was his regular duty under the law
to AVE don so. The sheriff. of Nc
Lean county will no doubt place BIck-
ford In the penitent1ary Immediately
after the issuance Of the committmen
which is mandatory. AS the case was
started in Burleigh county, the on
Gals Of this county are investigating
the status Of the matter, and 1t IL
likely that the commitment will be de-
manded forthwith.
AS the pardon Is directed only to the
warden of the penitentiary authorities
hold that 1t can be OF no benefit to
Bickford till after he Is placed in pri-
son.

Fear of self Is Cause Of "Nervss".

Discovery of Carbide Of Calcium.

production at Niagara Falls Of carbide
OF calcium, the curious artificial stone
which, when bathed in water. gives
off acetylene gas, recalls that this sub
stance was first manufactured in AM
erica by accident, through the metal
lurgical operations of T. L. Wilson,
near a small stream in North Carolina
While using limestone and salt In
smelling, he noticed among the MELT
ed Stag which day by day ran nearer
to the brink of the little stream, a
grayish-white substance new in his
experience, but thought little of 1T I'M
til n day the molten Stag overhung
the water and began to flow into 1t,
Then suddenly a bright, white flame
burst out OF the molten and en-
veloped it for some time. He drew
from the dry Stag some of the strange
material and touched a match to 1t,
but without result. Then he poured
some water upon 1t, n at n next
trial the liberated acetylene gas
broke into flame. Thus in 1892 ac-
cident discovered a practicable way of

Dickinson n. D., July 10. j. u
I Ouinlivan, register, and Ed. J. Hughes
receiver of the Dickinson U. S. land
! office, have just received a commuhl-

T and choose to live on either n OF

} their right to the homestead which
they have vacated.
The ruling made by Commissioner
Tallman with reference to the act is
as follows:
The act applies to claims initiated
before or after it's date, and to be-
[ come entitled to its benefits 1t is re
| uuired that each Of the parties shall
E,have complied with the requirements
[ of the homestead laws for not less
than one year next preceding their
( marriage. Where the parties, or eth
er Of them, are entitled to credit for
[ such compliance prior to entry, that
time may be counted in making up the
I period Of one year, and it follows that
! neither Of the entries need be one
: year old at the time Of marriage
The law confers upon the husband

I the two entries the family shall re-
side. His election must be supported
