STRANGE CASE OF
HORSE POISONING

Dickinson, N. D., March 16.-Chas.
F. Will, whose ranch is about two and
a half miles from the Willis King
place, formerly the Pete Pelissier
ranch, lost four horses the past fall
and winter, and he is inclined to
think that the loco weed caused their
death. AS he understands, horses
get this poisonous weed in August
and as soon as frost comes there is
no further danger until another sea-
son. A number of ranchers along
the Little Missouri river and country
tributary have lost horses the past
season in much the same ,Wey.

First National Bank at
Casselton Is Reopened

Fargo, March l5.-The First Ma
tional bank at Casselton, which closed
it's doors Dec. 6, 1915, due to the al
legged embezzlement of funds by R. C,
Kittel, former president, and w. F.
Kittel, cashier, and which was one of
the most sensational bank failures in
the northwest, re-opened for business
yesterday morning with the announce
ment that the creditors of the institu-
ton would be paid dollar for dollar.
At a meeting of the directors last
night Math Runch was elected presi-
dent; M. G.. Straus, first vice presi-
dent; N. J. Ford, second vice presi-
dent, and j. A. Krich, cashier. The
board of directors is composed Of o..

Math Runck, M. G.. Straus, N. J. Ford
and j. A. Krick. The capitalization
remains at $4,000, the same as prior
to the closing.
The reorganization of the institution
was affected by each of the directors
putting up $4,000 with the exception
of one, who put in 100000 to cover the
alleged shortage and slow paper which
resulted in the Indictment of the Kit
tells by a federal grand jury on COM
plants filed by United States District
Attorney Hildreth before United
States Commissioner Cuyler, charging
embezzlement of funds and the falsi-
fication of accounts. At present R. c..
Kittel is at liberty on $4,000 bail
bonds, and w. F. Kittel on $4,000
bonds.
According to report from Cassel-
ton last night business men and farm
ers were rejoicing yesterday when the
institution opened it's doors. The new
officers are we'll known in banking
circles of the state Since the closing
of the institution, National Bank Ex-
aminer Anheier of Fargo, has been ad-
justing the affairs of the bank with a
view Of bringing about a complete re-
organization. The announcement of

Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young

Success has at last come to scientists
who for years have sought some method
of removing the outer veil Of facial skin
in cases Of unsightly compilations, which
would be both painless and harmless.
The new process is so simple, so mex
pensive, the wonder is no one had discov-
cred it long ago. 1t has been amply dem
onstrated that common mercolized wax
(sold by druggists in ounce packages) en-
tirely removes. by gentle absorption, the
withered, lifeless surface skon, showing
the youthful roselike skin beneath. The
wax is applied at night. like cold cream,
washed off in the morning. The Absorb
ton also cleanses clogged pores, increas-
ing the skins breathing capacity and
preserving tone, color and natural beauty
of the new skin.
A simple and harmless wrinkle-remover
which has also proved quite successful
can easily be made at home in a jiffy.
All one need do is to dissolve an ounce Of
powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch
hazel and battle the face in the solution
once a day for awhile. After the very
first application the finer lines disappear
and the deeper ones soon folow.-Adv.
