Should Not Bo Misrepresented.
In the matter of tliei verdict, and
the supreme courts decision in the
Pyke case,it is fair to ccrtain mem
ben of the city concil to state that
they were not members when the
claim was first presented, and when
a settlement might have been made.
Among those who were not in the
council at the time but became mem
bers later, were Aldermen Buckley,
E. F. Kelley, H. W. Kelley, Tunstall
and Grant. In commenting on the
case it is not desired to misrepresent
the members of the council in any
action and especially Cvhere so much
is involved.
Harry Past was a member, of the
council when the Pyke case came up
and knew of the advice of the then
city attorney Geo. Thorp to settle
the case, which was not done. He
afterwards resigned his seat.
C. B. Buckley while ooming into
the councl later knew notliiing of the
early stages of the litigation as mem
bers of the council.and rested, with
other members on the"advice of the
older councilmen and city's legal ad
visers.
Dr. Sifton advised that the city
settle the case as the plaintiff in her
view was ccrtain to win her case, al
though he did not. beieve all her in
juries were caused by the injury re
ceived by the fall on the side walk.
The reliance of the mayor and
councilmen responsible for the legal
action taken, was mainly on the de
fense of technical eirors in present
ing the claim to the council as re
quired by the statutes.
Attorney Thorp says that when the
Pyke claim came up before the city
authorities, he advised settlement,
saying that he had examined r.tie
walk at the alleged place of injury,
and had learned that the woman had
received some injuries there and
that, in his opinion she would secure
a verdict against the city for some
damage, the amount of which would
depend upon the testimony.
Of course most of the present coun
cil were members when the oase was
tried in court, but the testimony
was bet? to them. No taxpayer who
will have to pay additional taxes for
this verdict desires to shift the re
sponsibility on councilmen who were
nqt then in office.
Jonestown Vo. Tower City.
Even more exciting than the con
test with Valley City was the basket
ball game played Saturday evening
with Tower City, for the boys were
more evenly matched. When the ball
was first put in play, we felt confi
dent that our boys would win by a
large score and the score of 13 to 22
at the end of the first half proved
that our confidence was not mis
placed, but in the second half Tower
City^began to gain and as we watched
their score go up we began to realize
that all thru the game Tower City
had been doing excellent guarding
and team work. Several times Ed
Beltman, substituted by Tower City
In the second half, wormed around
the big fellows,^seized the ball and
dropped it in their banket. When
time was called the score stood 33 to
37 in favor of the J. H. S. team.
Although not on edge our boys put
up a fast game and their team work
gave us added confidence that at the
end of the season they will be on top.
After the game there was a dance
for the teams and spectators. The
line up wfts as follows:

The five men arrested on the charge
of counterfeiting some time ago at
Carrington were given a preliminary
hearing today before U. S. Com
missioner Fred G. Knee'and and the
bearing will probably be continued
tomorrow, U. S. District Attorney
P. H. Rouke and Deputy U. S. Mar
shal Stout being in Jamestown to
appear for the government in
the case. Jerome Parks of Valley
City will handle the defense. The
defendants are alleged to have been
passing counterfeit money, lead
slugs in the form of nickels and quar
ters stamped on one side only, using
slot machines in order to escape de
tection and are claimed to have been
workjn? at this some months around
Carrington. Part of the case against
Fred W. Kidney only, one of the
alleged counterfeiters was heard,
several witnesses being introduced
who had seen the men playing the
slot machines, and part of an outfit
of tools, with hard wood mould the
size of a nickel and quarter, together
with a ladle, were produced, all of
which it is claimed were found In
the rooms used by the five men.
There is some talk of connecting the
men wth the postoffice robbery at
Carrington this winter.
A Prosporous Farmor.
In a recent publication a North
Dakota farmer writes as follows:
"I came to North Dakota twenty
one years ago from Iowa. I had six
broken down plugs of horses, two
steers and two plows, nad.no money
and was a thousand dollars in debt.
I rented a farm for five years before
bought any land. Then I made up
my mind to buy land on my own ac
count, and bought two sections on
time. Then 1 kept on raising wheat
and buying land until I owned five
thousand acres of land,, all paid for.
In the twenty-one years I cleared
out of the ground in clean money,
raising wheat, two hundred and forty
thousand dollars. Last year I sold
four thousand aores and have quit
raising wheat. I am now oh my way
to Cuba, where my wife and I will
spend the winter. When ever i go
back east I try to get my old friends
and neighbors to come out here and
share my prosperty"—Balph D.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of bak
ing powders on the market, viz:—1.
Mineral-Acid or Alum, 2, Bone-Acid
or Phosphate .and 3, Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. It is important,
from the standpoint of health, to
know something about these ingred
ients and which is used In your bak
ing powder.
1. Mineral Acid, or Alum is made
from a kind of clay, xhis is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution a product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral Acid
sells from 10 to 25c & pound.
.2 Bone Acid, or Phosphate Is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu
facturer of a phosphate powder. The
U. S. Patent Office Report gives a
full and exact description, but the
following extract is enough:
"Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and in the following proportion,"
etc.
From this Bone Acid phosphate
baking powders are made such pow
ders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound
3. Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off
the tartar is scraped from the cask
boiled with water, and crystals of
Cream of Tartar, white and very
pure, separate and are collected. It
differs In no respect from the form
in which it originally existed in the
grape. Cream of Tartar then, while
the most expensive, is the only in
gredient that should be used in bak
ing powder to act upon the soda, as
•its whdlesomeness is beyond ques
tion. Cream of Tartar baking powd
ers sell at about 40 to 50 cents a
pound.
Such aie the facts, and every one.
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule: -Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made from Mineral Acids
those selling from 20 to 30 cents of
Bone Acid and those from,40 to 50
oents of Cream of Tartar' made
from grapes.
