A law has been passed hv the
North Dakota senate which re¬
quires t hat before a man can re¬
ceive a licensf to marry lie must
prove Ins ability to support a wife
and also undergo an examination
for hereditary disease or infirmity.
In order to make this law effec¬
tive it would be nessary to pass
another one re t uiring tie p:os
pective bride to furnish a schedule
of what is necessary and what it
re piiie ; to me 4 her demands, to
this might be added the expense
of raising an av< rage sized family,
and tlm whole amount compared
with the young gent Ionian’s assets
and his prospective income. Then
if both sides of the lodger balanc¬
ed he would I tin' luckiest dog
unhung and might enter the bliss¬
ful state of matrimony, \\ o do
not believe any HUch law is
sit all practicable, and were such
a one enforced there would soon
exist a terrible condition of socie¬
ty, or the population would he de¬
creased to nothing except spinters
sind bachelors. It would be pret¬
ty hard for the average young man
to make accounts balance under
such a proposition.
O/ar Heed snubbed a greater
man than himself when ho turned

occur sometimes.
$1,000 will bo paid for the best
eountv exhibit at the state fair
this fall. $500 for the second best.
Dodge county should hy all means
capture one of these prizes.

be sent to the I'liilipine islands to
assume command of a body of

The fifty fifth session of congress
just closed, spent,’in appropriations
$1,5(1(5,000,01)0, of which over 400,
000,000, was for the Spanish war.
Fret tv expensive congress and
pretty expensive war.
Let the farmers of good old
Dodge begin to prepare now for
an exhibition of their products

at state next Dodge |
has got as good farming land and j
as good farmers as any county in :
the state, so let us show our
neighbor counties what we can do
in this respect.

have a peach combination that

The two greatest enemies of
rattlesnake are t ho biacksnake

foe and with a sudden dart
t he venomous reptile by the
so that it has no chance to use
poisonous fangs, and
squei zn it to death. Hogs
if fat, suffers no danger from
rattlesnake. He will march
up to the reptile, allow himself
be struck in his jowls once,
or three times, as the case
he, and will then calmly
to swallow the reptile without
concern. The 1 reason for the
immunity is due to the fact that
1 he blood vessels • are so minute
and infrequent on his cheeks,
where fat is predominant, that
they fail to take-up the poison and
carry it through the porcine sys¬
tem. Hogs have been used in
droves to clear some of the islands
of the Southern seas of poisonous
reptiles, and have proved success¬
ful.
By remembering two simple
facts any one can distinguish a
poisonous serpent from a harmless
one. The venomous reptile inva¬
riably posesses a triangularly
shaped head and a blunt nose,
while . Ins tail is correspondingly ,
blunt and stubby. Any a snake
