One of the many follies which per- vade the 20th century, such as the use anaesthetics, opiates and cordials, there Is not one that 1s to compare with the deadly effect of that innocent looking hquor which 1s kept so convinient to the bar-keeper’s reach, known as “Absinthe.” This debasing poison has brought France to its present de- plorable moral condition and is even adding to its victims in_ this country, with good rapidity. The man who drinks bad whiskey is a fool, but the slave to absinthe becomes a fiendish maniac. Absinthe and _ its cure, in- termingled with love, hath, revenge, retribution and domestic happiness, 1s brought to the public’s attention in a startling and vivid manner in J. M. Morgan’s new sensational scenic comedy drama, “A Hidden Crime” at Village hall. March 27. y Editor E. J. Anderson cf the Grand Rapids Independent anid wile visited Moose Lake between tins yestesday.

The state of Minnesota will offer fortysacre homesteads to actual settlers if the bill which has been in- troduced by Representative Andrew Miller, of Duluth, becomes a law, The bill allows every head of a family or person more than twenty-one years old @ homestead of 40 acres of any state swamp orther laud from which timber has been removed, not contiguous to any other tract taken upasa homestead under the provi- sions of the act. ‘The homesteader must make an afti- davit declaring that the tract is taken up for himself and not in collusion with any person or corporation for gain, and uot fer speculation, but as au actual place of residence No patent is to be issued for four years, when the homesteader Shall appear before any district judge and make proof of actual residence, and that at least tweuty acres of the homestead has been cleared and has been under cultivation for at least two years. ‘The fee is $5 for entering m fortyeacre tract aud $5 for final proof.—Hibbing Tribune. Name Unchanged. The chief point of interest in the election held at Koochiching was whether the name of the village should be changed trom International Falls back to Kvuochiching. The matter has been agitated for some time past, but the result of the vote was a sur- prise, standing 80. to 20 against the change, The Deadly Cherry “Look to cherries in your cock- tailes.” was the inductory seutence in a news story in the New Tribune Monday Yea verily, take heed of the cher- ries in your cocktails, for at the last the cherry in the cocktail biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. The naturalists tell us that the ser- pent does not bite nor the adder sting for they both strike and sink their fangs by the impact—but ‘that is neither here nor there. The cherry in the cocktail is a peril just the same. It would be a menace even if it chanced to be a real cherry, of natural culor (and normal taste. Hypothecated by the ingenuity of science it is still more dangerous. ‘The dairy and fvod commission tells 4 cocktail-loving public to be- ware the cherry. The little globule of fruit you find in the botton of your glass when you have sipped a Mavhattan or a Martini is a delusion and a spare. Its fresh June ‘blush is the blush of coal tur, dyes, and chemicals of like potency give it that plump and jucy ivok, Now. atablespoonful of this sort of dystuff is deadiy and a few drops will color a large piece of cloth. The dairy and food commissioners have couvertedfuod products into dystsuffs and have found enough dye in some of them to give a brilliant hue to several yards of flannel. To cocktail consumers, however, there is one comfort in this very fact. Ifa few drops of 'his coal tar stuff will culor a large piece of cloth, it follows that only an infinitesimal fraction of a drop would be needed to-give a rosy complexion to a cherry. Ifa tablespuvonful is deadly, try to figure out the uumber of Cherries it would take to kill a man. Now, seriously, the cherries may be unholesome, but don’t leave off cocktails on that account. Quit for another reason. ' The deadly sting of toe cocktail is in the other ingred- ients. You will oberve the the oblig- ing chemist behind the bar pours in {quite a lot of alcohol, in the shape of whiskey. If he aads a spurt of cordial ora dash of absinthe—add he really should--something worse than coal tar dyestuff has been incorporated with the cocktail. ‘ Even the bartender will. tell you-- ifyoucan gain contidence,' that the Cocktail is about the deadliest drink that can be swallowed, but not be- cause of the cherry. If you think it is the cherry, though, omit it from your dail; regimen, snot ythe cherry, but the whole cocktail. --- Duluth Tribune. A Hidden Crime. Like everything else in which the public are interested there are plays, good, bad and indifferent “A Hid den Crime” which opens a one mght engagement,’on Mar. 27th at the Village hall is considered one of the good ones by the newspaper of the east where it has played during the present season. “A Hidden Crime” is a story of considerable heart inter- est and affords splendid opportunity for secenic display.

HOW WOODSMEN ARE FLEECED One Of the Ways in Which Wooedsmen Are Fleeeed—Tell Police Story of Clothing Merchant's Duplicity. The following is from the Dulnth Evening’ Herald: An excellent ex- ample of how the woodsmen are fieeced by the howery merchants and the cheap clothing dealers. was given the other day, when the victim ap- peared at police headquarters sand told his story. According to the man’s tale he en- tered oné of the stores which make a special bid for the lumberjack’s cloth- ing trade, and asked for asuit. He was shown a cheap tweed conbination such as the reputable stores sell for trom $7.50 to $12, and was told the price was $20. He refused to pay that amount, and the proprietor finally agreed to accept $15 for the suit, according to the woodsman’s claim. The woodsman then handcd over the $15 and the proprietor took it and and the suit back into the office. He returned a moment later and handed the woodsman a receipt for $15 on account, telling him that the price of the suit was $20 and that when he had paid the other $5 he could have it. Meaowhile the pro- prietor kept both the suit and the money. The woodsman appeared at police headquarters and told his story. He was trembling with rage, and itisa mystery why he did not endeavor tc get $15 worth of satisfaction in ham- ering the seuses out of the proprietor, but he evidently realized that he would be guilty of an assault, and stated tothe police that he wanted to keep out of trouble. There was nothing that the police couldedo in regard to the matter, he man was advised that his ouly recourse was to sue the proprietor of the store for the 15. Even if he did this his chances of recovery would ouly be fair, as the proprietor would claim that the money had been paid him on account and would offer to hand over the goods when the re- mainder was forthcoming. He how- ever, had witnesess who were in his. employ while the woodsmen was alone. The law suit would also cost the woodsman as much more than the amount he had already paid out, ard this he could not expend. The only thing left for him to do was to go and pay the proprietor the additional $5, thus making $20 for a suit that was nob worth mure the $10 at the outside. ‘The same graft is practiced . by cheap jewelry dealers” said one of the officers. ‘I remember last spring a woodsinan came to me and said he had paid $5 fora watch in the same way and the proprietor kept both watch and the money claiming there was still #5 due. 1 went into the sture with the woodsman and asked to see the watch. ‘The man showed it to me, and I turned to the woods- man and asked if that was his watch He said it was, so I handed it to him, and tuid him to get out. I thought the proprietor was going to shoot me, but he finally qnieted down, and 1 neyer heard anything more of the case. But for once the lumberjack gob even.” Important Case Before District Court. Dis‘rict court opened . Wednesday at Bemidji, Judge McClenaban pre siding. ‘The most important case to be tried at this term of court is the case of the International Boom com- pany against the Rainy Lake Boom company. The case arises from a sorting of 27,000,000 feet of logs by the defendant+for the plaintit! and involves some 18,000. The defendant in its answer allege the sorting of the logs for the plain- tiff and non-payment for the same and have levied upon 1,000,000 feet ot -| these logs which have heen replevin- ed by the plaintiff. The defendant has constructed a dam on the Ameri+ can side of the Rainy River ashort distance from the town of the same name which compels the plaintiff of any other company to use the steam- boat way for floating logs or enroach on Canadian waters. This c is identical with a numb- er of similar cases in that vicinity and involves the rights to any and all firms which may desire to fioat logs on the American waters in the Rainy River.
