SAID farmer to the writer the other
day: "What good are our big exemption
laws, any ways We can't get money or
credit from the outside without mort
gage, at high rates of interest" The ex-
cessive exemptions Of this territory are a
positive drawback to the honest mass-to
those who believe that man who can
but will not pay his unsecured debts is
worse than thief. But the big exemp-
ton is a thing altogether lovely to the
man who don't intend to pay, as 1t en-
ables him to get ahead of his debt-paying
neighbors once in a while. If the exemp.
tions were lowered, loans, because more
secure, could be more cheaply obtained.
Merchants would give credit where they
now refuse it. The man known to be up.
right in his dealings would seldom be
pushed, as his creditor would only as a
last resort antagonlze him and drive his
patronage elsewhere. Of course there
would be an occasional case of hardship
under low exemptions, for few systems
are perfect; but the debt-paYers of the
territory would no longer be subject to
the spoliatlon of that class which looks
upon the making of all unsecured debt as
so much clear gain.

HThe Rich and Fair.v

The New York Herald speaks of Da-
kota as ''The Rich and Fair" and says
ut is difficult to realize that the territory
which only a few years ago was the
hunting ground of the red man is now
dotted over with cities, towns and vii.
lagos, and that its area-greater than the
states of New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Maryland Delaware and Virginia
is divided into townships and parcelled
off into farms. 1t IS great and glorious
country, full of undug, untitled, unde-
veloped wealth, and its climate is so full
of electricity that the American eagle Will
soar and soar, aud screech and screech,
until the gates of the Union are thrown
wide open. Of all the debutantes that
have stood on the threshold of statehood
there is not one who has been so royalty
rich. Come, Uncle Sam, make her your
bride, and cleave unto her until death do
you part

Lamed by a wild Oat,

Mr.. Rufus Dean, of Winchester, is sufo
fering severely from very peculiar all
ment, and IS totally disabled thereby.
A short time ago soreness appeared on
one of his legs in rear of the knee. 1t
continued to grow more painful and in.
famed, until finally an examination was
made, when it was found that the trouble
was caused by wild oat which had en-.
tered the flesh and finally worked itself
into the leader. An incision was made
and the oat--or part of lt--removcd.
The soreness and Inflammation continue,
however. The kuee cannot be bent, and
Mr.. Deans only bearable sitting position
is with the injured member resting on d
chair. 1t seems that the wild cat, all
though insignificant and harmless in ap.
pearance, is something capable of doing
great injury. This is the second case of
damage TO the person by wild oat that
has happened In the county this year, al
though the first was not so serious. Last
summer, as we have heretofore published,

A very Careful team is that owned
by Joe Caldwell. The other day he left
'em standing up at Tom Kelly's while he
went inside. The horses started off at
full tilt. They ran through the avenues
of Williamsport, crushing the grass and
demoraizing the gopher mounds. How
they failed to injure the lamp posts and
the multitude Of buildings is remarkable !;
but they did, and finally reached home,

Bismarck Tribune: Warden Williams,
of the penitentiary, is collector of Gu
rious and interesting relics, and among
his most valuable historical prizes are
many Of the official documents issued
during the early days of Dakota. One Of
these he left at the Tribune office last
evening. 1t is the first commission to a
register of deeds of North Dakota, and
was issued upon the organization of Todd
county, which was tho name then given

the Montana line. Here it is, signed by
the first governor and first secretary of
the territory:

Spooner's Bill Reported Favor
ably Upon by the Committee.
Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGToN,M March 5.-The Spooner
bill providing that the telegraph COM
panies be placed under the supervision
of the interstate commerce commission
was favorably reported in the senate to-
day from the committee on poStofficeS
and post roads, as substitute for the
postal telegraph bills referred to that
committee. The report accompanying
the bill says the telegraph system of the
country has become monopoly and
complaint is made that the rates
are extortionate and are levied to
pay dividends on watered stock. The
committee, while recognizing the ne
cessity for reasonable and limited con-
troll of the telegraph companies, doubt
the policy of the government assuming
the ownership and entire management
of them. 1t does not pretend to extend
the power of regulation to dispatches
wholly within a state, and supplement
tary legislation will be needed by the
states. The report in conclusion eX-
presses it as the sense of the committee
that whatever can be done as well by
private enterprise, and with as much
safety and security to the people, should
not be undertaken by the government
at present.

VERY MUCH MARRIED.
AT the Funeral of New Yorker
Four Women Claim to Have
Been Married to Him.

AT the Funeral of a New Yorker
Four Women Claim to Have
Been Married to Him.
New YORK, March 5.-FOur women,
each claiming to be the widow of ex-
Fire Commissioner Philip f. Brennan,
of Brooklyn, whose death is still mys-
terry, attended the funeral services over
the remains in the Fourteenth regiment
armory, Brooklyn, yesterday. When
Rev. Mason Gallagher, chaplain of Grant
post, &. A. R., was about to begin the
service, Mrs. Emma Brennan, with
whom Mr.. Brennan lived, entered the
room and took stand in the rear of the
throng, while another woman who called
herself Mrs. Clara Brennan, and who
claims to have been married to Brennan
in 1875, stood near by. A third alleged
Mrs. Brennan, who says she
welded the eX-fire commissioner
in 1880, occupied front seat
with two female friends. Mrs. Brain
erd, who AYERS that she was joined in
matrimony to Brennan two years ago,
the fourth alleged spo use, had been
present, but did not wait for the funeral
service, as she was persuaded to leave
the armory few hours before the cere-
mony was begun to avoid the possibility
of q scene. When time came for mourn
erS to take a last look at the remains,
members of the regiment veteran corps
gathered around the caSket i'll order to
keep
THE ALLEGED WIDOWS
from creating scene. 1t is said that
three other women, who claimed the
eX-fire commissioner as their husband,
were also present. EVERYTHING passed
over quietly. The remains were then
panied by the Fourteenth regiment vet
eran corps and Rankin and Grant posts,
G.. A. r. After the Grand Army ritual
had been read, the women, who would
not relinQuish their claims as widows of
the dead man, were quietly but de-
cisively led to their carriages and driven
off. One fingered, however, and sent
for Ben. McLeer, telling the messenger
to say that a lady from Chicago desired
to see him. He answered the call, and
was met by woman who claimed she
had been married to Brennan. Her ac-
tons were very mysterious, and she
said but little. A man who attended
the funeral told a reporter that her
name was Schuyler, and that she lived
in this city, although former Brook
Ignite. Mrs. Brainard, who left the
armory before the services began,
joined the funeral cortege just as it was
starting for the cemetery. 1t is said
that the eX-tire commissioners friends
claim that threats were frequently
made against him, and that he seemed
in terror of some enemies. The Brook
Ign police are still inve stigating the
case,
