Of Interest to East Siders
Farmers Take Steps in Opposi­
tion to Judicial Ditch
No. 5.
A petition is being circulated among
the different towns of Knute, Badger
and all through the east county and
into Red Lake county by the opposi
tion to the construction of judicial
ditch number five to raise moneys for
the securing of attorneys to fight the
building of the ditch.
At the caucus in Erskine last Mon
day which was one of the largest and
the most exciting of all the meetings
that have been held in this county
for years, over five hundred farmers
were present and its effects have been
bearing fruit among all the towns of
the east county and Red Lake.
At the Erskine meeting O. H. Dale,
a citizen of Knute town, with the re
putation of a humble lawyer, was the
self constituted speaker of the day.
The meeting lasted all during the day
and into the night. Every public gath
ering place in Erskine was the center
of Individual discussion of the promi
nent Issue of the day.
The ditch is of itself over forty miles
long and runs into Red Lake county
and into Clearwater river, but will be
only the beginning of a syftem of
nearly a hundred miles of ditches.
Farmers from Red Lake county were
present in a body at the meeting.
The farmers generally had the opin
ion that there would be a full assess
ment of the damages for the ditch
while the actual assessment will only
be in the neighborhood of 55 per cent
of total benefits.
The order for hearing in the big
Erskine ditch will be held April 6 at
the town hall in the city of Erskine
and among those that will be present
•will be the officials, Clerk of Court
Lanctot, Engineer of the ditch Ralph,
the reviewers and the surveyors. With
these officials on the ground all differ
ences will be adjusted as seems best
and right.
IKOOKSTON ELKS
Will Baild a Magnificent Building Dur
ing Next Season.
Crooks
ton Journal: Last evening
the Elks held one of the most import
ant meetings of the winter. It was
attended by nearly every Elk in the
city and a class of seven candidates
were initiated into the mysteries of
the order.
The business session was largely
taken up with the discussion of plans
••for erecting a three story brick block
on Main street. It was decidcd to
purchase the vacant lot next to N.
Rapin's saloon for the purpose and
sufficient money is in the treasury to
buy the lot. It is a fifty foot lot and
one of the finest locations in the
city.
Several thousand dollars was raised
last evening towards the construction
of the building and a committee was
appointed to look after plans and spe
cifications.
Just when the building will be built
l'as not been decided but it will prob
ably be during the early summer
months. The lower floors will be
fitted up for store rooms and the sec
ond floor will either be used for of
fices or club rooms while the third
floor will be used by the Elks for a
kdge room.
Although the matter has not been
definitely decided upon it is not likely
that it will fall through as there has
been talk of the proposition for sev
eral years.
W. P. Murphy and H. T. Murphy had
charge of the work of initiation last
evening and introduced several new
features into it that added much to
the amusement of those who were
there. The new members are J. A.
Casey and T. G. Brunnel of this city,
Dr. Theo. Bratrud, A A. Ecklund,
Wm. J. Brown and Julius Olson of
Warren, and Harry Budd of Beltrami.

FOR A COUNTY FAIR*
Prof. Roberteon Appeared Before Com
missioners to Urge the Project.
During the regular meeting of the
county commissioners held recently
at the county seat Professor William
Robertson of the experimental farm
appeared before the county commis
sioners in behalf of a committee sel
ected by the farmers' club of the
county, and urged the acquirement
by the county of grounds for a regifc
lar fair to be held every year or
oftener as appears most advantage
ous.
The committee who had charge of
the petition to the county board are
Messrs. S. W*. Wheeler, A. O. Busterud,
J. P. Ingersoll, A. McKlnnon, Gatton
and Professor Wm. Robertson of the
experimental farm.
The commissioners were apparently
unanimously in favor of the proposi
tion and the matter will be submitted
to the vote of the people. The com
missioners made moves1 in that direc
tion.
In talking with one of the members
of the committee that appeared be
fore the commissioners the gentlemen
were very optimistic of the measure
and stated that the sentiment was
generally favorable throughout the
country. The Fair as proposed is a
regular institution in the southern
part of the states and in all the states
in the east. It is a move of advance.
MENTOR PHYSICIAN
In Trouble Over Practicing Without a
License—Claim Made That He
Has One.
In connection with the published
reports concerning the warrants
sworn out. against C. F. Warn on the
charge of practicing as a physician
without a license, much excitement
has arisen in the city of Mentor.
Several of the prominent citizens say
that the charges preferred against the
young doctor are not right and present
a letter from the secretary of the state
board of physicians which says that
Mr. Warn has a license No. 100.
The warrant was sworn out by O.
A. Kuntz of the village of Mentor be
fore Judge McLean. Just what the
specific items of the complaint are
cannot, be ascertained and it is sug
gested that there is some personal af
fair connected wtth it. No arrests
have yet been made in the case.
WANT GULLICKSON.
Friends of Fertile Educator Trying to
Force Him to Kiss the Babies.
There has been considerable talk
among the friends of M. H. Gulllck
son about his nomination on the re
publican ticket for the position of
County Superintendent of Schools.
Mr. Gullickson is a nephew of O. O.
Christenson of this city, and is well
known here. His home is near Fer
tile and he was for two years princi
pal of the Stephen schools. During
the past two years he has been prin
cipal of schools in the southern part
of the state.
It is not known whether Mr. Gul
lickson has decided to enter the race
next fall or not, but his friends will
do all in their power to persuade him
to do so.
MILES WILL RESIGN.
Principal of Fisher School Will Not
Accept Place For Next Year.
Principal Miles of the Fisher
schools, who was hung in effigy some
time ago by the pupils of the schools,
will resign at the end of the year.
About two months ago the board
made a contract with him for another
year. The pupils of the high, school
rose up in arms over the matter and
openly expressed their dissatisfaction
with such an action. Because of the
change of sentiment that has taken
place among the Fisher people Mr.
Miles will resign from the principal
ship at the end of the first of the year.
HERE FROM WALHALLA.
Mr. Joe Lankas of Walltalla is in Town
Visiting Parents—Surprised by
Friends.
A number of the friends of Mr. Joe
Laukas called at the home of his
father on Allan avenue Tuesday even
ing and gave him a pleasant sur
prise. The evening was spent in
games and dancing. Miss Mabell
Moody sang a few solos which were
greatly enjoyed by the guests. At 12
o'clock a dainty lunch was served by
Mrs. W. A. McCulloch, a sister of
Mr. Lankas, assisted by Mrs. Moody
and Mrs. Cantroll. About thirty couple
were in attendance.
Story Was Wrong.
The Evening Times was yesterday
in receipt of the following note from
a prominent gentleman concerning the
story printed in the Herald concern
ing the sanity of Mrs. Christofferson:
"The item about Mrs. Christopher
son in the Herald this morning was
a great mistake. She is not insane.
It is just a little weakness. She was
pronounced insane by a doctor here,
but was not said to be insane by the
probate court at Crookston. She was
put In the St. Vincent's hospital where
she will be treated, and it is thought
she will be out.in two or three weeks.

of Blackduck, representing the Chi
cago Lumber and Coal company, pur

THE LARGEST NERVE.
WHAT VICTIMS OP SCIATICA
HAVE TO ENDURE.
There Is a Mystery About the Affec
tion Which Puzzles Phy
sicians—A Word of
Advice.
It is a singular thing that there
should be a rheumatism of the nerves
apart from rheumatism of the muscles
and bones. We. are accustomed to
think of all pain as being located In
the nerves, but in most cases the
nerves are only the telegraph wires
informing the brain of what is going
on in the muscles and other tissues.
When there is rheumatism in the
nerves themselves we may confidently
look for trouble, sayr. the Chicago
Chronicle.
The largest nerve in the body and
the one most subject to rheumatism
Is the sciatic nerve, so called from a
Greek word meaning the hip. It
takes its rise in the 'sacral plexus near
the base of the spine, and passes down
the thigh on the outer side fciuite close
to the surface. At the knee-joint it
splits into two branches, one of which
passes down each side of the calf of
the leg. Rheumatism in this, great
nerve is called sciatic^.
The pain produced by sciatica is
different, from the pain of muscular
rheumatism In two ways. The pain
of muscular rheumatism is felt al
most entirely when there Is muscular
action. The pain of sciatica is .ag*
gravated by muscular action, 'but it
'is continuous, anyway, and may be ae
oompanied by occasional paroxysms.
.Another difference is that muscular
rheumatism is not aggravated by
presture on the muscles, but sciatica
is Intimately connected with pressure
and greatly aggravated by it, if it

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND *ORKSfN. D.
When a person has a good caafe of
sciatica on hand that is the only care
he has. He may be hungry, thirsty,
betrayed and 'deserted by family and
friends, bankrupt in business and
ruined in reputation, society may be
filled with abuses and the 'country be
plunging headlong 'Into destruction,
but the'sciatica sufferer is oblivious of
it all and has only cne trouble—that
Infernal pain in1 his leg. ChaWers
speaks of "the exfipulsive power of a
new affection," but that is nothing
compared with the expulsive power of
sciatic
jai^v
There is one mystery about sciatica
yat physicians have never been able
to solve, and that is that It affects
only the left leg. there is a sciatica
nerve In the right leg, too, but it is
as well-behaved and'harmless a nerve
as there is in the body. Once in a
century there will be a case of sciatica
in the right leg, but it is such an
unusual occurrence that it may be
dismissed from the mind as a neg
liglble danger. The habitat and stamp
ing ground of sciatica is in the left
Tho speculations of a layman on
such a subject may be worth a great
dJal. but is there not a possibility that
Sciatica prefers the left leg because
the leg is habitually maltreated?
Sciatica is almost always produced by
pressure, especially against hard and
cold surfaces, though it may result
even from the internal pressure caused
by constipation. This being known,
is it not likely that the disease is
tent will be erected in which the serv- I erallv due to habitual exposure to cold
sgen-_u„
and to pressure?
If to, there is a solution of the left
log mystery in the fact that almost
everyone has. a habit of sitting most
ly la a sidelong position on his left
side. Even in sitting at a desk to
writs a person will without noticing it
sit for hours on his left thigh. No
one would believe how invincible this
left leg iab!t is unless he has tried
to break himiself of it When the dis
ease has once been set up there is no
need to tell him to sit on lift right
side, because he cannot sit on any
other—and live.
A sciatica patient need never hope
to recover unless he absolutely ceases
to sit on his left thigh or even to~iie
on itln bed. As to well people who
are candidates for sciatica terrors, the
best thing tfcey can do is to make a
babit of sitting on the cold, hard seats
of the street cars and the office and
on the left thigh. The rheumati^ sea-.
son of the year is now with us, and
rheumatism ts within the reach of
rich and poor alike. Who wishes to
be served first?"
English Emigration.
"There is a double stream of emi
gration from England," says a writer
in the London Graphic. "Our poor
emigrate to the United States or the
colonies to improve their circum
stances, but there are every yfear some
thousands of comparatively rich fam
ilies among us that remove to the
continent to live cheaply. This second
stream is growing in magnitude every
year, for prices In England are con
tinually increasing. It was from the
ranks of the 'moderately rich' that we
used to get most of our officers for the
army but the sons of these 'emi
grants' now become acquainted with
foreign languages, and find better em
ployment in commerce and often on
the continent.-'
