MOTHER WATCHED SONS
OPERATION; NOW INSANE,

Mandan, N. D., Jan. 20.--A
strange set of circumstances was
responsible for the sudden attack
of insanity by Sweet Briar wom-
an, was the decision Of the men,
bers of the county insanity board,

bell. --,-.
The name is withheld for the
reason that it is believed the at
tack of insanity is but temporary.
However, the woman has been
sent to the state hospital for the
insane at jamestown.
Sunday she came to Mandan
from Sweet Briar with her son.
The latter had an operation on a
finger. It was a minor operation,
but watching the surgeons WELD
their knives, the flow of blood, the
smell of the anaesthetic, etc,
preyed on her nerves. When she
saw the dead body Of patient
taken from another room, her,
mind snapped.
Monday morning she was taken
into custody by officers and found
to be insane.

used that are not harmful for the

above named poisons will certainly
kill the chickens as we'll as the goph-
ers.
When q farmer comes with a big
dishpan, or tin pail or what not, with
poison soaked grain, and doctors"
his fields, he will put some in and
some around an unprotected hole, and
it certainly will kill the gophers; but
when discovered by q brood of young
chickens, it will as certainly kill
them. l have been asked: Have you
seen any prairie chickens killed." and
/ answer, mo, but I have seen tame
chickens killed with, it,-why should
not the wild die as we'll? Their re-
mains are not found, for Natures
scavengers take care Of them in short
order
These poison-soaked grains. wheth-
Fer prepared at home or purchased Of
a nearby druggist, strongly recon-
action on gophers, should be handled
with more reverence, and If the farm
ers were instructed along these lines
by the state, the country would be
more plentifully supplied with game
birds of the chicken species. Laws
providing for a shorter season and
smaller game bag limit are also steps
in the right direction. although there
is in my opinion far less hunting
done now than formerly and conse-
quently fewer chickens killed by the
gun. But beware OF the careless
handling of our strongest poisons.
Yours very truly.

Of Towner county are busying them
selves in an effort to solve the l. w.

ton of the state. A meeting was held
this week at Cando at which several

to the situation. Hon. w. L. Noyes
was delegated to visit the big state
meeting of farmers at Fargo this
week for the purpose of forming a
state organization of farmers to push
legislation at this session of the as

Many plans have been suggested, all
of which have their good, and objec-

the farmers will be able to work out
some method by which conditions will

THE roPPLINe CATHEDRAL.

Des Moines Register: An Ameri-
can war correspondent recently in
Rheims makes a report on the con-
dition of the cathedral in which he
says that the destruction of two more
of the flying buttresses will result in
the falling OF the roof, and consequent
demolition, of the entire structure.
Most of the damage to the cathe-
dral, he reports, has been inflicted
within the past two months, and two
or three of the buttresses have just
been swept away by shellfire, Until
they went it was presumed that the
damage to the structure would be
incidental holes in the roof and sides.
Rheims is not occupied by troops.
The cathedral is far from the fortified
works or lines of communication. and
every shot which strikes it is dis
charged for the express purpose of
striking it. 1t has been hit, accord
ing to calculations, over a thousand
times. .a-'
The strange part about the con-
tinued bombardment Of the cathedral
is that all reports agree to a shortage
Of artillery ammunition among the
German armies on the west front.
An observer in the Champagne dis
trict has reported within week or
two that the. French are firing five
shells to one sent in reply from the
German batteries, and that this pre-
ponderance of big gun fire has been
the prime cause of the recent sudden
advances by the French at Verdun.
From a military point of view, the
continued bombardment OF the
Rheims cathedral is a waste Of shells
which are ever growing more pre-
cious. If the only military effect of
the bombardment is to deplete a
stock of shells vitality essential to
other work, upon what theory do
those in charge of the German bait
teries justify the expenditure. Cef-
tainly it will not make the French
fight any less .tenaciously. and it is
not likely to win very lively common
dation in neutral countries. 1t would
be of interest to have an exact expo

Frazier Calls Halt
On Careless Filing
of Expense Accounts
(By II. D. Paulson.

Bismarck, NJ. o, Jan. 2o.-The
state empIoys or official or board
member who gets by hereafter
with an expense account which
will not stand the strictest scrutiny
and does not comply in every
technical detail with the provisions
Of section 667, as amended by
chapter 244 of the 1915 session
laws, will have accomplished
something.
The auditing board met ysster-
day. In the srist Of bills were
found several expense accounts not
iten'izsd according to Hcyle,
Dates or details were missing. The
eagle eye Of Governor Frazier
singled them out. They were not
paid and wiz not be paid until
they are made 70 conform. The
governor, 40 chairman Of the
auditing board, does not question
the honesty Of the men who sub
mitted these expense accounts,
but he insists that the state shall
be held strictly accountable for
every penny II expends and the
states servants for every penny
they receive.
Jorgenson is today mailing to
every person who has any oe-
casion to transact official busi-
ness in the states behalf letters
advising them that a strict COM
pIianee with the statutes will be
expected and that expense accounts
hereafter must be complete in
every respect.

The Mexlcan Trouble.

Kansas city Times: The Mexican
revolution which ended, theoretically
at least, with the occupation of the
capital by General Carranza on Aug. 20,
1914, had kept Mexico drenched with
blood about four years.
Secretary Lansing, in his report, At
fairs in Mexico, states that from 1910
to 1915 there were 1b9 Americans
killed by Mexicans, of which number SO
were killed on American soil 1t was
estimated that 81 Americans were Kill
ed from Jan. to June %, 1916.
April Fl, 1914, United States marines
captured the customs house in Vera
Cruz, Mexico. Four United States mar
ines were killed and 90 were wounded;
200 Mexicans were killed. April %,
1914, two United States officers and four
men were killed and eight wounded.
April 81, 1914, a brigade of American
troops under Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston relieved the naval forces and
took possession of Vera Cruz. Gen.
John j. Pershing, with more than 1000
troops, began the pursuit in Mexico of

Last winter my little boy, five years

various cough medicines but nothing
did him much good until began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He
then improved rapidly and in a few

Of liquid was pumped from the well
at that time and the samples were
sent to Mr.. Babcock for a test.
Another test was made January 2,
which was similar to the first, the
liquid taken from the well being
placed in gallon cans and sent to
Mr.: Babcock by express under seal.
The third test was made on the 10th
and 18th days of January, this being
the most severe test the well has I'M
dergone. A pump was placed in the
we'll which was run continuously for
"a hours by gasoline engine and ap-
proXimately 1890 gallons of water
and liquid was pumped, or an amount
equal to filling and emptying the well
T times. Samples taken from time
to time during this test showed q GER
tain per cent of oil. Immediately aft
er the pump was taken out a sluSh
busket was lowered to- the bottom and
sample was taken from the bucket
which contained oil sand, a sand char
acteristic in all petroleum fields. E.
c. Auburn and NJ. H. Anderson eX-
amined the sand and pronounced it
the genuine oil sand. One thing dis
tinctly noticeable was that the sand
gave stronger odor of gasoline than
the oil liquid secured from the we'll.
A. number of citizens from Minot
were present when the last test was
made, and procured samples of the
liquid. The sentiment Of those pres
ent is expressed in the following |
statement:
This is to certify that we were

Oil Co. we'll on Jam II, when
the pump was removed from their
oil well after a continuous "a
hours pumping test: that immedi-
ately after removing said pump
slush bucket was lowered to the
bottom of the we'll, that we pro-
cured from said slush and that the
slush from the bottom Of the said

terial, and that the said sample
obtained by us contained infiam-
mable oil.
