MEDICINAL MUD At
CRYSTAL SPRINGS
Island at the Lake May Be Hospital
Site,

Tappen, N. D., Feb. "a deal of
great Importance was consummated
whereby Drs. Won Sieimmel and La
Roulessy of the Pasteur institute,
have been given a ninety-nine year
franchise on what is known as the
island on Crystal Springs lake. The
doctors have been at the Excelsior
hotel in Tappen for several days on
this business.
1t has been hinted for some time
past that the mud on the island con-
tanned medicinal properties, and upon
analyzing the same at the Pasteur in
stitute in Chicago, it was found that
the mud contained medicinal proper
tier far superior to the famous mud
baths at French Lick springs of West
Baden, Ind.
The doctors have plans for a large
hospital and sanitariuin, and also a
hotel with 800 rooms and all modern
conveniences, and will also have a
number Of cottages built to rent to
families desiring to spend their time
there while taking treatments. 1t
is also rumored that all trains will
stop there, and new up-to-date de-
pot will be built, and If this proves to
be true it is certain that there will be
several new stores and all kinds of
other business enterprises started as
soon as events begin to develop.
The doctors have named the place
Spring Island, and promise great
things for the place inside of a year.

SHOCK TO BRITISH PRIDE
Necessity for Fastest Liner Changing
Her Flag.

London, Feb. 1O.-Asserting that
the Lusitania adopted "a permissible
strategem in hosting the American flag
to avoid danger in the final stage Of
her dash for Liverpool" the Manches.
ter Guardian declares 'an act may be
perfectly lawful without being expe-
dent or altogether fair" The paper
aaya: !, s.
1.-THE fact that our fastest lined had
70 change her flag has shocked our
pride % much as the loss of the ship
would have shocked our humanity. II
al or many of our merchant liners
were to do the same the result would
be, % American papers are pointing
out, to diminish the value Of protec.
ton given by the American nag. Not
only would that be undignified in us
and unworthy the nation which rules
the seas, but 1t also would be unfair
to the United States and 1t would re.
lect on us the same indignation as
was aroused by Germany's threat to
disregard neutral flags"

eENTLEmEN'S NIeHT
At WEDNESDAY CLUB

The Wednesday club held it's an
nual "gentlemen's night last Mon
day evening at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. L. B. McLain. The members and
their. guests came III costume and
held a mock farmers convention.

ling members, Mesdames Barnard,

Miss Paddock and led by Mrs. H. G.
Proctor, performed some remarkable
selections, especially one entitled
1.-The Old Family Toothbrush"
Mr.. Russell Chase, having the floor
first, Immediately elected himself
president of the convention. His
usual oratorical brilliance was, on
this occasion, much enhanced by a
scarlet mustache.
DR.. Simon gave learned discus
sion on the subject of "Pigs," with
many references to the classic, pigs
Is Pigs" and also the multiplication
table. He cited the benefcent influ-
Fence of mud baths by the freedom
from gout among pigs, asking DR.. De-
Puy's substantiation of his statement.
The president objected to this as a
gross insinuation against DR.. DePuy's
practice.
Mr., Barnard, on being called upon,
stated that he felt qualified to speak
on any subject. Rotation of Crops"
was called for, which proved to be
his favorite theme-in fact, he was
reminded of so many anecdotes that
the convention unanimously conceded
that he could speak equally we'll on
any subject.
DR.. DePuy was reminded by some
of the costumes worn that evening
of the days of hoop-skirts and bustles
and gave q humorous homily on that
subject.
Mr.. Charles Rathman impersonated
q German and gave talk on woman
suffrage. He believe in letting wom-
en- have what they want. If they
want to bring in the wood and haul
water. let them do it. They should
not be denied anything.
The evening was concluded with
basket lunch and more music.

DEATH FROM COAL GAS
Charles Chapman, an Old Resident,
Dies from AsphyxiatiOn

Saturday night, Charles Chapman
went to- his home on Main street w
after attending a moving picture
show. 1t is supposed that before he
retired for the night he filled the
coal stove with coal and closed the
dampers, which allowed the gas to
escape into the room. No signs of
his being around the house were seen
during Sunday morning and about 4
o'clock in the afternoon Fireman
Richards discovered that he could not
get into the house, there were no
tracks around the place, and the
horse had not been fed at the barn.
John Seckerson and Mr.. Richards
then broke into the house and found
Mr.. Chapman lying in bed almost
dead. He was gasping occasionally
and wholly unconscious. He was
taken to Parkview hospital, where he
never regained consciousness and
died soon after.
Mr.. Chapman was an ola resloent
of Jamestown. He was a member OF
the Fort Seward G. A. r. post. His
wife died about three years ago. An
adopted son, Ira, lives in California
and a brother who lives in Iowa is
expected to arrive for the funeral.
Charles Chapman was born in New
York in 1876 and enlisted as a pri-
vate in Company M, First Regiment,
Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, on Aug.
80, 1864. He was discharged June
26, 1866. He had been resident OF
jamestown over 21 years, member
of the local post for that time.
On his person were found $19 In
money. DR.. Movius endeavored to
revive him by use Of oxygen, but
without any result. The deceased fell
from a ladder several years ago
which prevented his working further
at his trade as a carpenter.

HOT CONTEST IN MOORAEAO
"Drys" Working to Close the Famous
Saloons.

Moorhead, Minn., Ceb. 3.-The
liquor fight in Moorhead is t6 be to
finish. For twenty years this fight
has been intermittently raging but
never as bitterly as at this time.
The Loyal Liberty league plans to
take an active part in the campaign.
Its work, as usual, will largely be
done under cover. 1t is never the
plan of this organization to work
openly but secretly and by all the
tricks and insiduous wiles of the
ward healer and politician. The or
ganization will seek to continue to
dominate Moorhead.
Candidates who will not come
across are to.be opposed by men who
will.
The saloon men are raising money.
P. J. Sullivan is the recognized lead
er of the liquor forces. There will be
a hot fight in the city council. The
present city council was elected on
platform promising to reduce the
number of saloons but, as usual. they
have failed to come across"
There was a time when Moorhead
had forty-seven saloons. later this
number was reduced to forty and at
the present time there are thirty-one.
1t was agreed that the present coun-
Gil should continue the reduction in
the number Of drinking places, it be-
ing the intention ultimately to limit
the number to one for each 500 in
habitants, or not to exceed ten for
the entire city.
Moorhead has at present six patrol
men and one chief-that is one po-
|liceman for each one thousand in
habitants. The number of saloons is
over one saloon for each 200 in
habitants.

BOunties For Tree Planting.
Ployhar's tree planting bounty bill,
n. B. 274, did not meet with any Sc
rious opposition, there only being two

Proposed Congressional Districts.
Bismarck, Feb. 8.-A plan for re-
districting the congressional dis
tricts of the state will be submitted
in few days by Representative Har-
Alison. The proposed new districting
leaves the first district the same as
at present, comprising the eastern
counties of the state along the Red
river and a total vote of 10000 for
governor in 1914. The other two
districts, however, run east and west.
The second district is along the main
line and branches of the Northern
Pacific and the third along the 500
and Great Northern. One advantage
of this is the transportation facilities.
Each district had about the same
vote for governor in 1914 and each
congressman will represent about an
equal number Of people. Stutsman
county is in the second district, with
total population of 177,236, with
the vote for governor of 1868. The
third congressional district has pop
ulation of 1SS,334 with vote for
governor Of 26,s91.

al and charitable institutions be COM

one member appointed by the COVER
nor and confirmed by the senate.
Education Under Board Of Control.
Senator Halvorson offered bill
putting the educational institutions
of the state under the board of con-
troll of penal and charitable institu
tutions as far as expenditures are
concerned
Everson's second bill provides that
prescriptions be made out
in duplicate and all terms translated
so as to be ineligible to persons Of
ordinary education.
His third measure provides the
state examiner should not examine
county officers as has been done in
the past, thus cutting out two deputy
examiners.
