TEE TRzAXTER CASE.


place in the Justice Court in thii
city. 1t was nothing less than I
member of the Legislature bein!
tried for the violation of the l:
O'Clock law; a law which the ac
cused was a strenuous advocate O
during the session.
Although the name Of Steinnitz
the clerk in Thaxter's drug store,
was substituted in the complaint,
Thaxter was the actual defendant.
The case was not allowed to 60 to
the jury, the Court ruling out the
evidence necessary to convict, and
the District Attorney himself Nov
ing for a dismissal.
1t this case it was necessary to
prove two thihgs; FIRST, that
the drug store sold whisky by the
glass or drink, in order to bring 1t
within the province OF the law, and
secondly, that it sold it after mid
night.
1t was proven that the clerk sold
liquor to various parties otter mid
night, but when an attempt was
made to prove the drug store also
furnished liquor by the glass and
drink, the Court refused to allow
the evidence to 20 in.
The Court unquestienaby erred
in thus ruling.
On the stand, however, the
clerk himself admitted the sale
of liquor by the glass, and the
Court did not strike this out.
The case was then in a condition
to go to the jury, as two facts were
before the court-that the defendant
sold liquor by the glass, and that
no sold liquor between II midnight
and in the morning.
After the case was thrown out OF
court the jurors expressed them
selves as dissatisfied that such q
ruling had been made.
The ruling knocks the Il o'clock
law into cooked hat as far as
Ormsby county is concerned. Con-
siderable stress is laid on the fact
that a job was put up in order to
induce the defendent to break the
law.
Some years ago "'job" was put
up on Mr. Gilssn to catch him sell
ing liquor to Indians, and the ''jsb"
succeeding, he was convicted and
fined 800.
The way the case terminated has
CduSCu CSESIdtia blc COulIucnl. IL
would have looked better for Dir.
Thaxtsr to have been viRdicated by
3 jury.
There is no personal feeling on
the part of those who are prosecat-
ing the case; they simply want fair
play, and insist that all competitors
in the whisky business shall be on
the same level as themselves, and
that drug stores running partly as
liquor saloons shall paw retail liquor
licenses and be amenable to the
same restrictions and regulations as
saloons, pure and simple.

HOW BIG BIRDS ARE FED.
Feasting on White Rats-The Dainty

OlSneS at the zoo.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Sunday is feast day for the birds of prey
that live in the big cages at the Zoo While
their favorite dish would scarcely repose
with grace upon an American dining table,
it is regarded as dainty morsel by the
slant-eYed sons Of CONTIGUOUS. His favored
dish is white rat Tne Chinaman likes it
cooked, but the big condors, vultureS and
eagles prefer it served raw and whole.
The birds await their Sunday feast of
white rat with ravenOuS Impotence, aud
many valiant struggles for the toothsome
rat take place within the cage. Head
keeper Byrne sets his traps for white rats
all over the gardens, and when Sunday
comes he repairs to the cage with the feast.
Immediately upon scenting his approach.
the birds begin to screech, and their inclos.
ure is a confused mass Of Tapping wings
and gaping beaks
The rats are thrown in alive one by one
and with lightning quickness a sharp
hooked beak buries itself in the rodents
flesh as soon as his body touches the ground.
The big ones get the choice. and feast in
peace until the smaller hawks get their ewes
on the prey. Then with a swoop. thew
snatch the morsel from the larger birds.
and an interesting struggle ensues between
agility and strength. When several rats
are thus being contested for the coui1ict is
bloody, and as Keeper Byrne puts it, there
are enough flying feathers TO start a feather
foundry. 4 reporter witnessed such a
scene last Sunday, and it took the fifty
birds about twenty minutes to fight over

Rumors Of Changes on the Slate for
the Cabinet.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. p Nothing reliable
can be learned as to the cabinet, though
there have been many rumors of changes
that are to take place in the slate. II IS
generally believed that the navy and agri-
cultural departments are still untitled, and
that Senator Palmer Of MICHIGAN is likely
to take the latter. The navy, il is thought,
will 60 to the east. No name has been
fixed upon, but it is said that Warner Miller
could lave it if he desired.
PRESSURE OF THE SLOPE
The California situation is still one Ct
uncertainty. Tie pressure on Gen. Har-
rison to take a man from the Pacific slope,
il is thought, has weakened the chances of
w. II. Miller of this state, as it is thought
the department Of justice is the one that
will De given to the slope, if any.
Nothing can be learned definitely
as to the war DEPARTMENT, but the
best opinion is that it will go to Gov
Rusk. There appears to be- no longer any
room for doubt that MIR. Wanamaker will
be the next Postmaster General The south
has ceased to be talked about. 1t is said
that if Senator Palmer of Michigan is given
the agricultural department. Gov. Rusk
will be taken down and Mr.. Wilson of Della
ware be given the war portfolio. This will
be done to preserve the geographical
equilibrium.

RISE OF AMERICAN CITIES.
Where 100 Years Ago 100000 Per

sons Resided There are Now 6,OOO,-
OOO
From the Boston Herald.
The fact that there are so many cities to
govern is one of the most astonishing in his
tory said Prof Albert B. Hart recently. A
century ago the whole population of the
United States was less than 100000, of
whom hardly 1000 lived in cities. Now
there are in this country not less than $50
cities, having a total population of nearly
6, 000, 900; the cities have increased 60 times,
and their population nearly 60 times. 1t is
evident that II this rapid displacement may
be found an explanation of some of the
problems which our cities present
1t is not too much to say that no city in
the United States owes its growth to its
situation, for of the ten large cities seven
are exposed to attack by sea, and but one is
sufficiently protected. The second reason
for the location of cities is the convenience
of commerce. A very interesting resume of
the comparative advantage at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore followed,
aud the commercial and manufacturing
places of their rise and growth were touched
upon. 1t was of far less Importance that a
city should grow than that it should grow
intelligently. Manufacturing cities were
always more densely populated than COM
mercial cities, and the overcro wding of
cities was one of the most serious problems
of the day. The libraries and schools of
Boston would attract one class, while low
theaters and dance halls would attract
others.
There were, il 1880 according to the CEN
sus Of that year, 286 cities with population
of over 5000. One hundred of these had
II, 600; 131 had between l., 900 and 10000,
while the remaining As ran from 10000 to
1000, 600 The number of cities increased
but slowly from 1870 to 1910, but in the
next decade the increase was as great as in
the so former wears. Large cities attract
more than their share of the total growth
of city population.
Interesting figures in regard to the dis
tinction of cities we're then given, as we'll as
the figures showing the comparative growth
Of the principal cities of the United States.
Up to 1920 Philadelphia was the first city in
the union. The Erie canal was finished in
1925, and the rapid leap of New York in
population from 103 900 to 26S, 900 in 1880
followed. In careful estimate, based on
the presidential votes of 1884 and 1888, New
York has to-day 100000 people. Phila-
delphia numbers 100000 population now,
but has to include her suburbs in this
estimate. Brooklyn is phenomenon. with
its 1872, 900 people Baltimore and Boston
are rivals, but the former now leads by
1850.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga dispatch from Mis-

The excitement over the threatened out
break Ct the redskins on the border is grow
ing hourly mors intense. Dispatches have
been passing between Gen Ruger at ST.
Paul and the officers of Fort AssinaboiEe
and other posts in this neighbor-
hood, and it is understood that trooDs
have been ordered ready 10 move
at moments notice. john s. Roberts,
partner Of the late j. f. Clifford, who was
KILLED at Flat Head lake by the Indians, is
here, and says that the sayages laid in wait
for Mr.. Clifford and shot him. They feared
him too much to do it openly.
THE CULPRITs.
The Indians who did the deed are Koo-
tenais, and not Flatheads, as stated. The
Flatheads are allies of the whites, and their
proud boast is that they never killed a
white man. Tie place where this all
occurred is known as the Upper Flathead
country, and is composed of the small set
Elements Of SilIsh, Egan, Dewers-
vile and Ashley. Thirty miles beyond
Ashley is place known as Tobacco Plains,
where the Indians live, and that is but
forty miles from the Canadian line.
WHITES AT THEIR MERCY.
There are about seventy-five white
families in all and about 1900 Kootenai
Indians. The Indians are all armed
with Martlni-Henry rifles, and if any out
break should occur the whites are utturly
defenseless They are 120 miles from the
Northern Pacific road at Ravalli.
Great excitement also prevails at Poca-
tello, Idaho, on account of the closing of all
places Of business on the reservation by
order of the Indian agent acting under in
structions from Washington.
