charge of removing mortgaged prop.

was called comedy appearing white
girl who gave her age as % answered

the girl had married. the Chinaman in
North Dakota two years ago and had

weeks ago. Then Joe Burns, who be.

came into the girls life andawooed her
away from her Chinese husband.
The girl admitted going to q local
lawyer from whom she learned that
her marriage to the Chinese in North

on "mixed" marriages. She then
packed up her belongings, left the
Chinese restaurant which had been
her home, and went away with Burns.

Money spent for the old style,
ready.made medicine usually sold in
bottles holding only to 2 IL ounces
(16 to 20 teaspoonfuls), is largely
wasted, because most of them are
composed principally of sugar and
water Yet you have to pay the same
price as if it were all medicine. Stop
wasting this money. You can make
better remedy for bronchial affec-
tons, at home at one-fifth the cost.
Merely go to Finney's Drug Store and
ask for 2 ounces (50c worth) OF
Schiffmann's New Concentrated Ex-
pectorant, which they guarantee will
give perfect satisfaction or money
will be refunded. Mix this with one
pint of granulated sugar and one
half pint Of boiling water, which
makes full pint (12S teaspoonfuls).
This new, simple, pleasant remedy is
guaranteed to relieve the worst cough

In the course of the duties of his
Office, State Engineer j. w. Bliss has
been asked great many questions
concerning the use of concrete for
construction purposes on farms, par
ticularly regarding its use when skill
ed concrete workers are not availa
Bile, and as to the liability OF fail
ures. In reply the state engineer
would say that the use of concrete
for construction purposes on farms
is, indeed, successful. and that when
a few rules are strictly followed, ex'
cellent results can be obtained, even
though skilled labor is not available.
Further if farmers and others would
take time to become familiar with
such rules before attempting to do
any concrete work, failure would
practically never occur.
The state engineer, therefore, sub
mits the following brief instructions
concerning the essentials of good con-
crete, which if strictly observed will
insure satisfactory results. 'ir
Freezing Weather.
Concrete, work should never be at
tempted during freezing weather I'M
less it is feasible to keep the con-
crete warm until it has secured a
thorough set, Generally speaking, it
should not be attempted during freez-
ing weather.
Aggregates to Be Used.
The sand, stone and gravel usually
found upon the farms Of this state
are generally suitable for concrete
construction, provided the following
precautions are taken:
/. These aggregates must be free
from vegetable matter, dirt or other
foreign substances. .. ....,....
2. When using bank-run gravel, the
sand must be separated from the
stone or pebbles by screening through
a quarter-inch screen. ,.....
3. In small concrete structures
such as fence posts, etc, the coarse
aggregate (crushed rock or graveD
should range in size from one-half
inch to one-quarter inch. For larger
work, such as silos, barn floors, or
binary foundations, etc, coarse ag-.

nine months ago. :j'
| 1t was here that the school dis

already had paid out the money they
came for.

since the date on which the warran,

warning against buying the District
No. 46 bonds that the warrant was
drawn:
Except for the supreme court deci-
sion which brought the school officers
to st. Paul, it was said at the capitol
that there would have been no way
to discover the irregularity. "..-
This recalls deal Of a similar ma
tllre, which took place in the office
of the North Dakota state treasurer,
under a former treasurer. which was
handled in about the same way, so
the treasurer could take the money
and invest it and secure the interest
on the amount for himself. The
transaction was handled like this:
In May, 1909. the Waseca Hail In
surance company, of Waseca. Mimi,
deposited with the state treasurer,
$4,000 in certificates OF deposit as a
safety or trust fund. required by the
insurance law. This was temper
airy deposit pending substitution
and deposit of government bonds.
These certificates Of deposit were
sent to the Bowbells State bank. of
which the state treasurer was presi-
dent, when and where they were
cashed and converted into money, the
funds being held by him.
In the latter part of July or the
early part of August 1900. the insur-
ance company, desiring to substitute
government bonds for the certificates
Of deposit, drew a draft on the state !
treasurer and attached same to $685. |

be delivered to the state treasurer |
upon payment of the draft. The |
state treasurer delayed honoring the |
lraft until August Il. when he paid |
he same By drawing checks on state |
repositories to the amount of $4,000, |
and the diversion of the S25.000 from

the government bonds which |
belonged to the insurance company

Of liza proportions, are as follows:
l. Size Of measuring box for sand

2. Load sand in wheelbarrows and
wheel onto mixing board.
3. Fill SAND measuring box, lift box
and spread Sand inches thick over
board.
4. Take two bags of cement, place
contents as evenly as. possible over
sand
8. Turn the sand land cement over
until thoroughly mixed, SO that, no
streaks OF cement or sand appear
cement out carefully, place measur-
ing box beside it, and fill twice with
stone or gravel, then empty onto sand
and cement mixture and mix thor

7. Add about three-quarters of re-
quired amount of water slowly and
evenly, at the same time mixing the

of water when dry spots appear, until
the whole mass has been turned over
three or four times. This should be
sufficient. After final turning shovel

Bank-Run Gravel.
Eank-run gravel is sometimes used
as it comes from the bank This is
wrong, as no two places in bank
will have the same proportions of
sand and pebbles. 1t is, therefore,
always essential when using bankrun
material to screen the sand from ehe
gravel and remix in the proper pro-

That shorthand reporting is contin-

is developing into a science was the
assertion made by Henry C. Demming,

titled "A Few "reminiscences of Fifty
Years Experience as a Verbatim Re-
porter" before the eighteenth annual
convention of the National Shorthand
Reporters Association at the Adelphia

Mr.. Demming, who is rs years old,
has been a court reporter for half
century. He reviewed the history of
shorthand reporting and impaired to
his colleagues much information. He
asserted that a time would arrive
when a man would have to be college
graduate to cope with the work
properly.
His address was followed by a warm
discussion regarding the place for the

vote was taken. it was discovered that
Niagara Falls was twenty votes ahead
