TR O AV S - “LID” GAUSES LAW SUIT Cnn‘ Lake Saloon Keeper Refused to Pay for Liquor onPeculiar Grounds. One of the many legal battles growing out of the recent closing or- der for saloons within the Indian ter- ritory is that of Wm. Kirchoft, a for- mer saloonkeeper of Cass Lake, and Sam Sutor, a hotel man of the same city. 1t appears that in 1909 Mr Kirch- off received the order to remove his stock of liquor from the county, and he accordingly took .it to Farris, a station some six miles from Cass Lake but outside the county, where it was Later when the orders were 50 modified as to permit of the open- ing of thie hotels, Mr. Kirchoff saw an opportunity to dispose of his stock to Mr. Sutor, who operated a hotel in Cass Lake. The bargain was closed and Kirchoff received a small pay- ment on account, the stock was transferred from Farris to the cellar of the Sutor hostelry and then, ac- cording to Kirchoff, when the lid ‘was once more clapped on, Mr. Sutor informed the federal authorities of the presence of the liquor in the cel- lar and it was destroyed by them, the value being about $1400 or $1500. Mr. Sutor then refused to pay Mr. Kirchoff the balance due on the stock and it is for this that Mr. Kirchoff is suing. He has retained AttorneysLoring and Rowe of Crook- ston, to represent him in the action brought against Mr. Sutor. stored. W. P.

WARREN GOES FREE President Commutes Sentence Im- posed on Socialist Editor. Washington, Feb. 2.—President Taft yesterday commuted the sen- tence of Fred D. Warren, Socialist editor, who was recently sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and $1500 fine by striking out the im- prisonment and reducing the fine to $100, to be collected by civil process only. You are probably aware that pneu- monia always results from a cold, but you never heard of a cold result- linz in pneumonia when Chamber- tain’s Cough Remedy was used. Why ake the risk when this remedy may be had for a trifle? For sale by it was not uncommon for wives to live aboard men-o’-war - with their sailor husbands. -Scarce one of England’s “walls of oak” in Nelson’s time but had some woman aboard who braved the perils and hardships of the sea in order to be with her husband. In nearly every one of the twenty-seven line of battleships under Nelson's command in the great battle of Traf- algar was-one or more women, wives of sailors. Surprise may be expressed that English men-of-war's men were permitted to have their wives aboard. It was only by special permission of the admiralty that this could be done— and then permission was granted somewhat in the light of a penance for sanctioning the press gang system, which was largely in vogue at that time. Men weére seized in the streets and other public places and compelled to serve in British warships because “the king needed men.” Some of the men thus seized had political influence and, being unjustly compelled to serve in the navy, were permitted to have their wives share their involuntary servitude. A Mean Advantage. | In a breach of promise case the bar- rister who held the brief for injured beauty arranged that his fair client should be so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the jury. He began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention to her beauty and calling for justice upon the head of him who could wound the heart and betray the confidence of one so fair, concluding with a peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears. The counsel for the de- fendant then rose, and after paying the lady the cownpliment of admitting that it was impossible not to assent to the encomiums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not to for- get that she wore & wooden leg. Then he sat down. The important fact of which the fair plaintiff's counsel was unaware was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, assessed damages at the smallest amount. The American Baby. The American baby has a fine, strong ancestry. The young men of England who were impatient of reli- glous restraint and of physical oppres- sion; the young men of Germany touched with the dream of democracy; the pick of mnorthern Europe, the strong, the fair, the self reliant, the conscientious English at bottom, but with a dash of the best blood of other races—this is the American baby, and no king and no lord ever had a better heritage. Take it as it goes, in Mas- sachusetts, in Ohio, in Michigan, in ‘Washington, in California, the average American baby has in its veins more of the blood of the Plantagenets than any king now living has. It was his fortune to have come from the daugh- ter lines and the lines of the younger sons, not from the elder son, whom British custom has marked for the aristocrat.—David Starr Jordan. The Young Man's Tact. The man who was having his pie- ture taken in the photograph gallery was an innocent listener to the conver- sation between two young ladies on the other side of the screen: “You know, Kate, I sometimes wear a long curl hanging down the back of my neck?” “Yes “Well, when Phil was calling on me the other evening he asked me if he might have that curl, and I jokingly said yes. Before I knew what he was about he had taken a little pair of scissors out of his pocket and clipped | it off close to my head.” “Why, the idea! you furious?” “Not for the smallest fraction of a second. I thought it was splendid of him that he didn’t seize and pull it oft.” Not His Fault. A doctor was summoned to attend the miller’s little boy. He wrote out a prescription, which was promptly made up and administered in due form. The next day he called again to see his patient and found the whole family in tears. “Alas,” said the mother, “I shouldn’t have thought that my poor child would have died of the measles!” “What!” exclaimed the doctor. “He had the measles, and you never told me?’—Parls Journal. The Soft Answer. - Irritated Frenchman (to Yankee, who had taken him for a waiter)— Sir-r, you have gr-r-rossly insulted me. There is my card. My seconds vill vait upon you, sir-r. Yankee—Never mind your seconds, Frenchy. You can wait upon me just as well. Pass me the sauce, and be quick about it, Shopping by Mail. Not long ago in a little town in one of the prohibition states'a young man entered the postoffice and asked the postmaster for a postoffice order. “For how much?” . asked the post- master, “Two gallons,” was the prompt re- ply.—National Monthly. A Real Surprise, Mamma—And you say your Uncle Titewad gave you a penny, Tommie! Tommie—Yes, ma’am. Mamma—And what did you say? Tommie—I was so surprised I couldn’t say anything. mamma.—Yonkers Statesman. Life, that ever needs forgiveness, has, for its first duty, to forgive.—Bul- wer Lytton. Good intentions will never justify had actions. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain’s Liniment and bound on to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with lame back or pains in the side or chest give it a trial and you are cer- tain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords.

Feb. 2.—New York state is to set the pace in preventing the bribery of legislators. After the recommendations in “leg- islative graft investigation commit- tee” are fixed, the man who offers a bribe to see that the prosecution is to be influenced, is guilty of a felony. Even threats that their political careers may be interfered with should they decide to support measures the | “boss” does mot favor are to be con- strued as attempts to unduly influence and must be reported. Banker Gets Six Years. New York, Feb. 2.—William Adler, former president of the State National bank, of which he is charged with wrecking and misappropriating a quarter of a million dollars, was sen- tenced to six years in the féderal pris- on at Atlanta. Adler fled to Hon- duras when the bank began to top p'e, but afterwards returned. Early Vote on Lorimer Case. [ MOVE T0 KILL RECIPROCITY Northwestern ‘Members Be- hind the Scheme.

It is backed by North- western members, who are co-operat. Washington, Feb. 2.—Senator Bur-| ing with “epresentative Gardner of rows of Michigan, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, | who was an early caller at the White House, said after coming from his conference with the president that he expected a vote would be iaken in the senate within a few days on the question as to whether Senator Lori- mer of Illinois should be privileged to retain his seat. The Race With the Ram. In Morocco the strange season of the Mohammedan new year, beginning March 9, is generally called “Ait-el- Hanwela,” the rain feast. The people of Morocco pay more elaborate atten- tion to the item of sacrifice than any other Moslems. In every town a su- preme offering of a ram or he goat takes place at the door of the prineci- pal mosque. Immediately after it is struck by the official imam in pres- ence of the multitude it is flung on the shoulders of a stalwart Moor, who, ex- erting his utmost strength, runs like a deer through the narrow streets, pur- sued by a rabble. The poor animal is pelted with stones by boys and is Jeered at with execrations from every house, as it i3 reputed to be carrying the sins of the people. The man rushes along with his burden till he reaches the door of the cadi’s palace. If the animal is still breathing the augury is excellent, for good luck is to be expected all through the year. But if the ram is dead all sorts of evil prognostications are muttered. The One Dish Diet. A food specialist said of dieting: “The simplest, easiest and most effi- cacious diet to bring down the weight is the one dish diet. At no meal, that is, should more than one dish be eaten. “The dish may be what you will— Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast beef, vegetable soup, bacon and eggs— but no courses are to precede or fol- low it. You may eat as much as you choose of the dish, and yet for all that you will lose weight steadily. “It's the variety of dishes—the oys- ters, soup, fish, turkey, mince pie, ice cream—it’s the variety of dishes, cre- ating an artificial appetite when the body has really had all it requires, that causes corpulence. If we confine ourselves to one dish we know when we've had enough—we don’t know oth- erwise—and the result is that we soon drop down to the slimness natural to children, animals and temperate and healthy men and women.” He Started the Trouble. Mrs. Johnson had begun to learn French and was gleefully informing her husband of the rapid progress she was making in her studies. “I'm afraid,” remarked Johnson, “that youwll soon grow tired. I've known people tackle a foreign tongue, expecting to know all about it in a few weeks, but before they have mastered even the rudiments their enthusiasm has evaporated and they have given up the task as hopeless.” “Oh, that’s not the case with me,” declared Mrs. Johnson confidently, “I am getting on splendidly, and Pro- fessor Dubois says I shall soon begin to think in French.” “Well,” the husband murmured, “I won't interpose any further objection, and I shall be glad when you are able to think in French. It will be some- thing you have been unable to do in any other language!” Twain’s Most Quoted Witticism. Of all the witty ‘things said or writ- ten by Mark Twain no phrase has been quoted oftener than his reply to an alarmist report, “Rumor of my death greatly exaggerated.” I think the his- tory of this bonmot, says a corre- spondent, may interest. Mark Twain was on a visit to London some years ago and had been secured as the chief guest of a dinner to be given by a lit- erary club. On the morning of the day ‘when the dinner was to take place the secretary was shocked to hear a ru- mor that Mark Twain had died sud- denly. At his wits’ end, he sought to verify it by a diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in which he mentioned the rumor. Mark Twain got hold of the note and telegraphed the now famous reply, “Rumor of my death greatly ex- aggerated.” i The Fleur-de. The fleur-de-lis, the well known em- blem of France, is said to have been brought from heaven by an angel to King Clovis, he having made a vow that if he proved victorious in an im- pending battle with the Alemanni near Cologne he would embrace Christian- ity. It was the national emblem until the revolution of 1789, when the tri- color (white, red and blue) was adopt- ed. The royalists in 1871 tried to re- store the old emblem to the flag, but without success.—New York American. T Bravery. “You spoke very admiringly of that man’s courage.” “Yes.” “But he was never a soldier or a fireman or a policeman.” “No, but he eats mushrooms that he has gathered himself.” | Massachusetts to this end. - The pro- posal of the men who would destroy the agreement is to force a rule per- mitting amendments to be: offered to ; the McCall bill, which carries out the terms of the agreement. If they carry thelr point they will kill the agreement, for it is expressly provided in the document that neither party to the agreement shall alter it in any essential detail. Representative Gardner of Massa- chusetts is the prime mover in the hostile enterprise. He represents the sacred codfish district. Mr. Gardner has obtained a lot of signatures to his petition, ‘but he won’t say how many. He says he hopes to have enough to compel the committee on rules to throw the field open to amendments. The idea is to rally all the discontent: ed elements. The wheat and barley men from the Northwest are falling in line rapidly. So are the representa- tives from the Middle West, and some from the North and East. From an-administration source an explanation was obtained that answers the complaint of Senator Bristow and others that the packing house prod. ucts and coal are not touched in the agreement. The president endeavored to have both these commodities put on the free list, but Canada refused. She was not willing to endanger the position of the small packing houses and small coal producers of the Do minion. e BELIEVES . LORIMER GUILTY Senator Browi. Addreua’- Senate on Hlinois’ Case. ‘Washington, Feb. 2.—That Senator William Lorimer of Illinois had-full knowledge of the bribery by which it is charged his election was procured was asserted by Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska in the course of a speech made in the senate. This was a step in advance of any- thing before taken on the subject. Declaring consideration of the Lorimer case to be essential to a proper dis: cussion of the question of electing United States senators by direct vote Mr. Brown undertook to show that the relations between Mr. Lorimer and Representative Lee O'Neill Browne had been such as to make it certain that Lorimer had been positively ad- vised as to Browne's operations in Lorimer’s behalf. To this end the senator undertook to show that the support of Browne and his thirty Democratic followers had been procured through Speaker Shurtleff, the roommate and warm friend of Mr. Lorimer, and that after Lorimer and Browne had been brought together they were in constant con- ference, meeting as often as a dozen times on one evening. PLAGUE RAGES UNCHECKED Thousands of Chinese Victims of the Epidemic. Peking, Feb. 2.—Reports received here from the health expert sent to Harbin to investigate the pulmonary plague now raging there say the sit- uation is serious. Thousands of natives are dying and efforts to check the disease have failed. It is not believed there can be any adequate move made in stamping out the malady until the arrival of warm weather.
