THE SPANISH SWINDLE
The famous Spanish fortune
swindle game, which has been
tried time and again on the
gullible, some of whom are re
ported iu the press to have
"bitten" under the allurements
of a promised fortune, appears
to be still alive to the possibili*
ties in endeavoring to tind some
one who will take up jn himself
the task of rescuing the "beau
-tiful daughter" and take for his
pains a goodly hunk of the nice,
fat drafts said and purported to
be stacked up knee-deep in
some old English bank. Two
Hankinson parties have each
received a letter recently from
a pseudo Spanish prisoner who
claims to be inuocently incar
cerated inside of prison walls
in Spain, placed there for an
a pa pa on a
tempted legislation for the pur
pose of defrauding the Panama
Canal project out of some
"dough."^
In one case] the prisoner
claims to be a relative, his
mother being a kinswoman of
some kind to both, and for this
reason he asks to have the
prisoner's daughter sent for
and in return for
khis^pains
share one-fourth of his fortune,
amounting to £98,(300. This
would seem to be a remunera
tive piece of work since anyone
would be entirely willing to
house the "beautiful daughter"
and accept a quarter section of
these sterlings besides, but, as
past experiences have taught,
there is invariably a string at
tached to these benevolent of
furs. Usually after a letter has
been sent to the rich prisoner
in care of one of the prison
chaplains who has so kindly
volunteered to assist the poor
couvict, a request for a remit
tance of a paltry sum of say
from one to ten thousand Amer
ican bucks is made to pay car
and boat fare besides incident
al expenses as behooves so rich
and beautiful a young girl to
meet her requirements and
should the remittance be made
it invariably ends the first and
last chapter of the serio-comic
tragedy and the remitter is shy
the amount seut and the smooth
swindlers are that much richer.
It is needless to say that
neither of the local recipients
of the magnificent offer will
take a nibble at the profered
bait.
ft is remarkable, however,
thatthis swindle, timeworn and
hoary, and so widely comment
ed on by the press of the coun
try, should he tried so frequent
ly and results expected,—Hank
inson Xew.«.
A bill has been introduced to
extend the street car line bc
yo: the otutc capitol io the
penitentiary. The state owns
the line and runs it. There is
a power house back of the capi
tol—but when the building is
lighted and the car is running
there isn't enough juice left to
run the elevator. The idea is
to extend the car line to the
penitentiary and hitch on to
that power plant. If the rails
are extended to the pen, coal
can be hauled up from there
about $1.00 a ton cheaper than
it is at present, and the line will
traverse a part of the city that
will give the line patronage. It
is to be hoped that the legisla
ture will see this as good. It
will save the state money,
eventually.—Broadaxe.
A bachelor in the north part
of the state refused to sign a
petition in favor of woman suf
frage, taking the position that
it would give the married men
two votes to one for the bach
elors—and that would be class
legislation.—Hankinson News.

THE TYPHOID FLY
The old description of a man
of mild and gentle disposition
as one "who would not hurt a
fly" no longer carries with it
the old intimation of praise
The fly has been found out. He
is known to be not only a nuis
ance but a danger, an enemy
not only to peace but to health.
He has received a new name,
the typhoid fly—a name which
suggests the function he is
adapted by bi physical
structure, mental inclination,
and personal habits to dis
charge. The typhoid fly is a
car of disease—typhoid,
cholera infantum, and other in
testinal diseases. He breeds
in dirt, the manure pile, the
outhouse, the rubbish pile, or
the garbage can. He lives up
on dirt. His spongy feet pick
up tilth and disease germs and
carry them into the house to
the food you eat, the liquids
you drink, f»nd the dishes you
use. He has been called "the
fly who does not wipe his teet
—until he comes into the kitch
en." He performs no useful
service he is indefatigable in
his appointed task of conveying
dirt and disease germs from
the foul surroundings where
he is born and lives to the
places where your food is pre
pared and eaten. He is a nuis
ance, but he is a preventable
nuisance. And every good citi
zen should become, not 6t&
"who would not hurt a fly," but
one who will do everything in
his power to aid in his extinc
tion.
The fly is a danger which
comes home to every family
And each family can do much
to minimize the danger. But
the great work must be done
by the families in a comtc unity
working together. A bulletin
of the American Civic Associa
tion gives a series of rules for
dealing with the fly. They are
so admirable that we printthem
entire:
Flies breed in horse manure,
decaying vegetables, dead ani
mals, and all kinds of filth.
Not less than 95 per cent of
the pests are bred in the stable.
All stables should have a
manure bin with a door at the
side and a wire screen on the
top, that the larva deposited in
the manure before it was placed
iu the bin will be screened
when hatched and as flies seek
light and come to the top of the
bin, they can be easily killed by
burning paper or some other
device.
The fly has a thirst only
equaled by his hunger place a
dish of poisoned water in the
stable and a greater part of the
flies hatched there will be kill
ed.
Flies are nature's scavengers,
fulfilling the same function that
some bacteria do, but become
an intolerable nuisance and
danger when entering human
dwellings and by contamina
tion of food.
The presence of flies is a di
rect evidence of careless house
keeping and of the existence of
filth in some form about the
premises, and are more danger
ous than the good housekeep
er's terror found in bedrooms.
Remember that wherever ab
solute cleanliness prevails there
will be no flies. Look after the
garbage cans. 8ee that they

a
new court­
house for Wahpeton. The writer
signed it most willingly. We
have about reached the limit
with that old building and
Richland county is not so poor
as our advertisement—that
building—would have
Strang*

yond that—it is no place to
keep records. The vaults ate
hardly wind proof or water

av.
are cleaned, sprinkled with lime
or kerosene oil, and closely cov
ered.
Remove a I 1 manure from
stables every three or four days,
and when removed keep in a
tight pit or vault, so flies can.
not breed in it.
Lye, chloride of lime,'or blue
vitriol water, crude carbolic
acid, or any kind of disinfectant
may be used.
Keep flies away from the
kitchen. Keep flies out of the
dining-room and away from the
sick, especially from those ill
with contagious diseases.
Screen all food. Apply this
rule not only to food prepared
at home, but to foodstuffs offer
ed for sale, and especially fruits,
salads, and all other things
which do not require to be
cooked.
Prevent consumptives from
expectorating where flies can
feed upon it.
To clear rooms of flies car
bolic acid may be used as fol
lows: Heat a shovel or any
similar article and drop there
on twenty drops of carbolic acid.
The vapor kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable
fly poisou, one which is not
dangerous to human life, is
bichromate of potash in solu
tion. Dissolve one dram, which
can be bought at any drug store,
in two ounces of water, and add
a little sugar. Put some of this
solution in shallow dishes, and
distribute them about the
house.
Sticky fly paper, traps, and
liquid poisons are among the
things to use in killing flies,
but the latest, cheapest, and
best is a solution of formalde
hyde in water. A spoonful of
this liquid put into a quarter
of a pint of water and exposed
iu the room will be enough to
kill all the flies.
To quickly clear the room
where there are many flies burn
pyrethrum powder in the room.
This stupefles the flies, when
they may be swept up and
burned.
If there are flies in the din
ing room of your hotel, resaur
ant, or boarding house, com
plain to the proprietor that the
premises are not clean.
