learn how many bacteria the average fly carried away from the slop bar rel, the hog pen, the COW stable and the house. The investigation was thorough and nothing was left to guess work
 This is the report: Each slop-barrel fly carried an average of more than 6,000,000 germs; the hog-pen fly car ried little less than one million; the cow-stable fly carried only about 420,- 900; the housef1y carried about twice that number, or S5O,O00.
 If you must have a slop barrel on the premises, keep it carefully screened, else it may spread disease. If you have a garbage can at the kitchen door, keep the can covered. Burn all garbage if you can do so practically. Otherwise drain it and wrap it in pa- per before putting it in the can.
 Some day we shall come to look on the fly in the same light we now look on bedbugs and body lice. The fly is filthier than these other vermin. He is born in filth, lives in it, feeds on it, carries it and spreads it on our food.
 Don't take any chances. Screen your house carefully. Destroy all ex- cretory and kitchen waste matter. Keep your premises clean.
 Teach your children the dangers of flies and make crusaders of them. Ii your neighbor is a "pull-back" and dirty, report him.

BaDylOnlan I6mpleS, and were a profitable possession Of Hiram, the Phoenician king, are only a sad reminder of glory that has de- parted.
 The cedars have lost their claim to be the pride of Lebanon; barren gran deur and beauty of color are in these days the leading characteristics Of these delightful mountains, for naked rock and sterile scree now reign where once dark forests thrived. Yet suffi cient remains to show what Leb- anon must have been in the old days; a mockery, no doubt, of their ancient splendor, but on the other hand an interesting relic. and valuable heri- tage Living trees such as these, which their most sanguine admirers claim to have been contemporary with Solomon, must be reckoned as one Of the historic treasures of the world. Not only does their fame rest upon traditional grounds; their beauty of form and power of growth have been extolled in psalm and verse by the bards of many lands, while their shad- owy groves in still earlier days were the object of veneration.
 The primitive nature worshippers could not have chosen a finer ideal than this giant tree-perfect in every moment of it's existence, an emblem of beauty, strength and vitality.
 It is easy to understand the admira- tion that the cedars evoked in their native land. To the inhabitants of the otherwise barren Lebanon, to the wan derers in the deserts beyond, and even to the dwellers in the hill country of Palestine, these trees must have been miracles of creation. These people only knew the delicate palm, the gnarled olive and stunted scrub oak; compared with these the gigantic boles and spreading arms of the lordly cedar were indeed a mystery. In any land 1t is a tree that attracts atten- tion; but in such a naked, treeless country as Syria and Palestine it is especially appreciated. Small wonder that it became "the tree of the Lord" and symbol of power. The eastern mind could find no better simile for expressing greatness, grandeur, ex- cellence of character or loftiness of purpose. The might of the Assyrian empire was likened to the cedar in words too wonderful to be left un- quoted:
 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
 The waters made him great therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
 "All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations
 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
 "The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches, nor any tree in the garden of God was like him in his beauty.
 'I have made him fair by the multi tude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him."
 Again: the success of the good man

Jurisdiction in the case launched by Ot-
to Bauer Of Mandan, against the pro-
posed ballot on the removal Of the cap
ital from Bismarck to New Rockford.
bv reason of the fact that one branch
of the government cannot interfere
with a coordinate branch OF govern
ment. is the main theory Of the de-
fense as advanced by New Rockford
attorneys, before the supreme court
at Bismarck yesterday.
AS a result of the raising of this
point. the case was delayed till next
Tuesday, when arguments on the jur~
isdiction question will be made before
the court at Bismarck. Should the
court rule adversely, and assume
jurisdiction, it is likely that a referee
would be appointed to examine into
the facts that have been raised in the
The New Rockford theory Of defense
is based on the contention that the
people Of the state, in voting on re-
moval, would simply be performing a
legislative function, and by reason OF
that fact, the courts are without
power to interfere. The courts cannot
interfere with the state legislature
during the progress of legislation. and
New Rockford contends that under
the initiative and reference provision
of the state constitution. and under
which the removal Is sought, the peo-
pie are in the same position as the
iegislature-and the progress Of legis-
lation cannot be interfered with.
The supreme court yesterday made
an order directing Thomas Hall. Sec
retary of state, to show the New Rock
ford petitions to the Bismarck at
torneys. He had declined to do SO up
to this time. Provision. however, Is
made for the presence of a disinterest-
ed committee at the time the inspec-
tion OF the petition is made.
The suit involves various features
as to the sufficiency of the petitions
that have been filed. the alleged in
operation of the initiative act. etc.

are washed out, and roads impossible.
Reports brought here today indicate
that many farmers in the fats north
east of here have been forced to desert
their homes, living with neighbors on
higher ground. Near Rutland, the
Wild Rice Is two miles wide.
1t Is believed the overfiowing of two
lakes in Marshall county, S. D., where
the Wild Rice has it's source, coupled
with rains in this region, is re-
sponsible for the food conditions in
that river. The water is now two feet
higher than in 1897, which recorded the
