Gets
Two at Judsol1

Mandan, Oct. 5.-Albert Lauerman
of Alexandria, Mimi, who formerly liv
ed at Mandan and attended the publ.
schools here and for time a member
of Company F, is dead and John Geiss
Ter, of New Salem, is seriously wound
ed as result of dynamite explosion
that occurred at the bridge one and q
half miles north of Judson last even
ing.
Young Lauermann had the right side
Of his body blown off and his face was
torn away. Parts of his body were
picked up today by Coroner Kennedy
at distances of Is feet from the con-
cussion. Geissler had both arms badly
hurt and may lose the fingers of both
hands and very probably one eye. He
was brought to the local hospital to-
day.
The two men and a Hungarian labor
ing man were preparing to do some
blasting on a large rock in their work
of fixing the abuttments to the bridge.
Through carelessness in not noticing
that the switch was turned on before
they connected the wiring with the
blast, the dynamite was touched off
with the results as given above.
The Hungarian laboring man, whose
name cannot be ascertained, showed
great presence of mind and after the
accident took the shoe strings from
Laudermann' shoes and bound up the
arms of Geissler so that he would not
bleed to death. He then took Cess
Ter and the body Of the dead man and
placed them in a wagon and hauled
them to Judson, where he, had a ply
stefan called.
The remains of young Laudermann
will be taken to Alexander, Mimi,
for burial. He is a brother of Mrs.
j. H. Britton, of New Salem. Cor
oner Kennedy went to Judson today
and examined the scene Of the disas'
ter and obtained the facts but de.
cided that an inquest was not neces.
sary as the accident was clearly a
case Of carelessness.

Congress is not exactly cover

Il misfortune rather than a pre-
meditated fault. There is more
or less a deadlock regarding so
called preparedness legislation,
with the result that other gener-
al legislation is hanging fire. The
militarists demand-all of the
money of Uncle Sam. but the
probabilities are that the old
gentleman will hang OH to some

Germany Wants
Peace.

Germany is asking for peace
but the Allies are not ready for
peace yet. Conditions are not
favorable for peace. Neither the
present condition nor the past
would conduce to lasting peace.
Peace now would be but n truce.
I he Prussian system must be
absolutely abolished before there
can be lasting peace. The Allies
as well as the neutral nations
realize that militancy must die
before permanent peace can come.
Germany for her own sake,
must get rid of the incubus OF
the HohenZollerns and Prussian.

real measure of liberty for the

SUNFLOWER DRINKS
MUCH WATER DAILY
Speculation as to Amount Of
Moisture Consumed by Roots
of Trees in Forests.

Some sections of the East have had
more rain than was needed recently
In fact, the torrential precipitation has
brought plague of insect pests into
the gardens. But there is another mat
ter to be taken into consideration, and
that Is the enormous amount Of water
absorbed by plants. On a warm day 1t
has been demonstrated that more than
a quart of water enters the roots of
the unassuming sunflower of medium
size. This opens for speculation the
number of thousands of gallons of wa
ter that the roots of the forest absorb.
The root performs threefold func.
ton. First it anchors the plant, then
1t supplies the conduit for the water
that is needed for the stem, and it at
tracts the liquid nourishment.
