and Miss Marie Furgeson, employed in
the county auditors Office, went to
Moorhead Tuesday afternoon on N. P.
train No. 4, and were quietly married.
They returned here Wednesday morn
ing, and somehow the news leaked

around the court house.
The newlyweds are we'll known and
popular. Mr.. Olsby is serving his sec

competent official. The bride is a
daughter of Mrs. Annie Furgeson, and
one of the most popular girls of the

That they will receive the congratu-

friends, goes without saying. The

Potato Prices
Hitting Slump N

Fargo, Aug. THAT the lordly po-
tato is doomed for mighty big fall
ere long is indicated in a repart re-
ceived at the local Offices of the Great
Northern to the effect that new pota-
toes are selling at 80 cents bushed
at several places along the line be-
tween st. Cloud and st. Paul.
AT the Twin Cities new potatoes are
selling for $1.25 per bushel.
Rains during the latter part of last
week are believed to have benefited
the great Clay county potato fields to
great extent and fair yield is now
expected.~ Whether Minnesota will
produce as big a crop as crop experts
predicted a few weeks ago is doubtful,
owing to the adverse conditions up to
last week.
More than double the yield of last
year was predicted for the state by
Twin City experts who stated that the
state would produce thirty to thirty
five million bushels, which with the
high prices that were expected to pre-
vail would make the crop the most
valuable ever raised in the state.

The city council met Monday eve
ming with all the aldermen and mayor
present. After the routine business
and allowing the usual grist of bills,
several contracts were considered and
placed.
Plans were accepted for the con-
struction of a concrete coal pocket for
storing and handling coal at the city

Fargo, was awarded the contract to
construct an 1S-inch sewer on Fifth
avenue, price $2,S97.50; a waterman
on Eighth avenue, price $1,S46.5O.
The Hanks-Price Co., of Minneapo-
lis, secured the contract to furnish a
fan and engine to be used in connec-
tion with the forced draft apparatus
at the city plant. The price was 1888.
The annual appropriation bill was
placed on it's first reading.
C. A. Myhre rendered his resigna-
tion as city engineer, the resignation
to take effect at once. 1t was &C.

Coroner Holberg, of this city, was
called to the farm home Of Senator
Martin Thoreson, seven miles west of
Fingal, Wednesday to view the re-
mains Of the above named, who was
found dead in his room upstairs by
members of the family. Death was
caused from the infliction of bullet
fired from a 22-caliber rife which en-
tered the head near the right temple.
There was no evidence to show how
the shot was fired, and the coroner de-
cided no inquest was necessary and
issued certificate that death was ac-
cidental.
The sad news will be a shock to his
wide acquaintance of friends. His
work in the legislature has always
been in the interest of the farmers
and forestry work for the state.
Martin aThoreson, of the thirty eighth
legislative district, Fingal, Barnes
county, was born in Norway in 1856.
He came to North Dakota from Kris
TINA in 1874 and has since been en-
gagged in farming. He has a family
of four sons. He was elected as rep.
resentative of his district in 1906 and
reelected in 1908. He was elected to
the senate in 1910 and reelected in
1914.
Funeral services were held at the
residence Friday afternoon at 2
O'clock, followed by services at the
Sheyenne Valley Church. Burial will
be made in the church cemetery. -

Senator McCumber for
Drafting Aliens Now

Washington, Aug. Methods OF
reaching aliens under the draft were
debated briefly in the senate yester.
day, but the discussion got nowhere.
When Senator McCumber called up
his resolution authorizing negotiations
with the allies to leagalize drafting OF
their national, Senator Chamberlain
sought unsuccessfully to attach pro.
vision for proceeding with alien draft
ing at once, insisted that IF some.
thing is not done we are going to
have trouble between the American
youths and aliens"
Senators Stone and Lodge read
precedents to show congress could not
legally draft }. aliens without special
negotiations. Senator Cummins con.
CURED in part with that view, but
Senator Pittman insisted such compul
sion would be morally right anyway,
and Senator Lewis said he considered
it clear that the aliens should be
compelled to fight here or at home.
The debate was ended for the time
being by previous agreement, but
Senator Stone gave notice he would
call up the McCumber resolution
again soon. ~ =

GERMANY is SMOKING
TOBACCO SUBSTITUTE

{ Amsterdam, Netherlands. Aug. s.
The recognized standard substitute for
pipe tobacco, placed on the market in
Germany is blenu of strawberry
leaves, lavender, fennel and woodruff,
and it sells at a price equivalent to
about rs cents pound. Smokers say
it is "passable but apt to bite the
tongue" On the other hand, soldier
in the trenches who received a packet
of the mixture from his brother wrote
to the sender that che would take the
first chance to wiring his neck for
fostering such abominable stuff on
him as tobacco"
