SUPERINTENDENT OGDEN thought he
found evidence of collision in the sale of
school lands in Grand Forks county and
now it appears another county is also IN
the same boat-at least the Grand Forks
Herald says that "Cass county lost about
$1,000 on a single quarter section OF
school land. A bona fde bidder offered
as high as $21.60 per acre., but one, who
afterward appeared to be a stool pigeon,
bid $21 IS and got the land. When the
time came for putting up the money, the
bogus buyer failed to put in an appear
ance, making it necessary to sell the land
again on a subsequent day, when it was
sold for $16 per acre, the man who really
wanted it and was willing to pay $21.6O
being unavoidably absent, 80 that the
school fund lost $1,000 and the party
who wanted the land most and was will
ing to pay the highest price for it was
cheated out of it. All such cases as this,
where collision undoubtedly exists,
ought to be rigidly investigated and set
aside and the parties guilty of collision
properly punished.

English Court Dignity.

LONDON, June 5.-All the exhibitions.
theatres. musical entertainments and
other such attractions have been utterly
eclipsed, Swallowed into almost complete
neglect by the interest which has been
taken in the great baccarat show which
has been presented throughout this week
at the queens bench of justice .lCourt
has been crowded daily with the "smart-
est" Londoners, those who were able to
obtain necessary "season tickets" and
familiar criticisms of English newspapers
to the efectth that there is considerable lack
of dignity in the Uuited States courts
have been 80 weakened that they should
never again be believed in the face of the
fashionable display, luncheon exhibitions
and other things witnessed during the
of the baccarat case. Lady
Coleridge, wife of the lord chief justice,
has been seen each day seated on a
bench at the right hand of her husband,
entertaining her numerous circle OF
friends, laughing and talking when she
has not been writing notes for her hus-
band and sending them around the court
with the same freedom as if she had been
at a garden party. Sir Charles Russell
was obliged more than once to suspend
his examination of witnesses on account
of the lack of decorum displayed in
court.

ity through the establishment ola mutu-
ally beneficial process Of mercantile ex-
change. Over against the advantages of
such a scheme, however, must be placed
the evils which may result to our trade
from the antagonistic retaliation Of other
nations. Already threatenings have been
made indicating a disposition in this d.
%rection. Our imports from France are
steadily diminishing in volume and value,
and the government of that country pro-
poses to retaliate, if not by totally ex-
GLIDING, at least by increasing the tariff
on American pork. A short time ago an
effort was made to bring about al agree
mont between Austria and Germany for
the exclusion of American products, and
generally, the danger of losing what may
be gained by reciprocity, through the
operation of various retaliatory meas
ures, may be regarded at a possibility, if
not an actually.

FATHER SLOAN has decided to leave
Dakota and spend the remainder of his
days in Philadelphia. He is probably
the Oldest and most loved minister of the
gospel in North Dakota. Way back in
the early days of hardship and privation,
Father Sloan cast his lot in the wild
western towns of Dakota, and on many
occasions has a gambling hall been
turned into a place of worship, with the
reverend gentleman in the pulpit. lie
was loved by everyone in those days and
at the present no one would disrespect
him. He was a friend to everybody and
everybody was a friend to him. But age
compels rest and the time has come
when active work a be done by him no
more. His farewell sermon was preached
In Mandan last Sunday.

Another Defaulter.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June st was
brought to light here to-day that w. E.
Minchln, for some years an individual
bookkeeper at the American National
bank of this city, was a defaulter to the
extent of about $4,000. Minchin left the
city in company with his wife May 25th,
stating he would be absent only a couple
of days. His continued absence caused
an investigation of his books with the
above result. The bank will lose moth
ing as he was bonded by a reliable guar
antee company whose agent is on the
ground and will take active steps to
catch and prosecute him. Minchin is
81 years of age, was born and raised here
and stood very high with all who knew
him. His d~efalcation was a surprise to
the community. 1t is supposed he had
lost money in speculation.

The first practical test Of the much
talked. of theory that the firing of heavy
explosives would lead to the fall of rain
was made at Glendale last week. The
experimenters report it a complete sue
cess, as-lt rained. Whether or not the
plan can be operated successfully in a
dry season is a problem that only the fu-
ture can determine. That in this particu-
lar instance the object was attained is
certain. 1t would seem as though the
government might very properly instruct
it's weather bureau to make some united
tests and see what efficacy there might
be in dynamite as a rain producer.

No Truth in 1t.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Michael Cudahy,
one of the largest stockholders in the
Omaha, stock yards, now in this city has
no knowledge of the rumored negotia-
lions for the sale of the property to
an English syndicate, as reported in a
Sioux City dispatch. "Nothing of the
kind could take place without my know
ledge" said Cudahy this morning. "This
is especially true when it is remembered
that Ex. Congressman McShane is q
warm personal friend of mine, and &C.
cording to the Sioux City correspondent
it was McShane who negotiated the deal.
No such negotiations are pending. and 90
far as I know no offer to buy the Omaha
yards has been made"

The College and Academy students at
Beloit. Wis, Indulge in a Riot.
BELo1T, Wis.,, June 5.-There is o
siderable excitement to-day over the fra
cas- of the college and academy students
last night, which resulted in an incipient
riot. The senior academy class was to
have it's annual banquet, which event for
years has been the occasion for more or
less of a muss. Usually the members of
the banquetting class are kidnapped by
the other classes, or otherwise detained
from participating in the festivities.
Last night some of the College and acad-
envy students made a charge on the ban
quoting class. One student was shot in
the side by another, but his wounds are
not dangerous. Windows were broken
in the hotel where supper was to be
served. The toast master was taken
from his home to the banquet hall under
guard of police. There are several ban
daged heads at the Rotations to-day. 1t
was the toughest event the college boys
ever engaged in here.

A from Washington says:
Charles F. Alfred, deputy postmaster at
Fargo, is the coming man. His applica-
ton for the postmastership is indorsed
by the majority of the best citizens of
Fargo. The president is in a dilemma
concerning that p~ostoffice and the ap-
pointment of Alfred would solve the
problem for him. To give the position
to Plumley, Jordan or McDill would be
to concede to one of the factions; to give
it to Alfred would produce little acri-
mony. This is the way it now looks at
the postofice department. The people
are not very particular who gets it just
go the agony is ended.

at San Diego, but at a point many miles
at sea. The Iquique government claims
that this circumstance modifes the situ-
alton considerably and will probably re-
suit in a speedy solution of the Difficult
ties. The authorities at the same time
declare that the charge of the Itata is OF
little Importance, taking into considera-
ton the small number of the arms.

ONO has a law against playing ball on
Sunday, but the Sunday players at Gin
cinnati have found a "judge" who de-
cides that as nine innings constitute a
game, eight innings cannot be called a
game of base ball, and therefore the Of
tenders may play ball all day Sunday
without violating the law, if they do not
play nine innings. That judge is entirely
too we'll versed in base ball rulings to sit
on the bench. He should be retired
from the judiciary and raised to the po-
sition of umpire.

CHASING A BANKER

A Denutv Marshal and q Banker Run
ming a Race. With the Banke In the
Lead
CHICAGO, June 6.-Banker Charles E.
Cook of Juneau, Wis, is being driven
across country, through rain. Following
him is a deputy United States marshal,
with a federal writ of habeas corpus,
which, if served, will again delay Cooks
removal from Chicago. Cook was ar
rested two months ago on requisitlon
from Wisconsin, charging him with lille.
gal banking at Juneau. Before the mes
senger from wisconsin, could take his
man out of the state, a writ of habeas
corpus, issued by Judge Baker, prevent
ed further proceeding. Hearing on the
writ was postponed from time to time
and the last argument was not finished
until this morning. Judge Baker then re-
manded Cook to the sheriff custody. In
obedience to the requisition that officer
gave the man to Deputy Sheriff Pratt of
Wisconsin and the party drove away
from the county building. Cooks
friends hurried to the federal court and
there obtained another writ. Only twen-
ty minutes after the banker had been
hurried away from the sherif's office,
Deputy Marshal Foster came in with
the papers. He took a carriage and the.
chase began. The further prosecution
of the Cook case is something of a sur
prise, for a week ago dispatches from
Wisconsin announced that criminal pro-
ceedings would be discontinued be-
cause Cook had turned over his property
to the bank creditors.
CHICAGO, June 8.-Sherif Gilbert to-
day made a return in the federal court to
awrit of habeas corpus Used by Judge
Blodgett on Saturday requiring him mot
to deliver up to the Wisconsin author.
ties Banker Charles E. Cook of juneau,
Wis. Cook was arrested some time ago
on a charge of illegal banking at Juneau,
and on an order of the state courts was
turned over to the Wisconsin officer
Saturday. Twenty minutes later q
habeas corus writ was issued by Judge
Blodgett and a United States marshal
started in pursuit of the Wisconsin
sheriff who started with his prisoner
across the country through the driving
rain storm. He failed to overtake the
flying pair. The return made by the
sheriff of this county to-day recited the
fact that Cook wal no longer in his GUS
tody when the writ was served on him.
Cook was safely landed in Wisconsin
and will have to answer to the charge
egainst him at Juneau.

tour of the country, making an inspec-

tions prior to the formal transfer a

Rain and Hail Storm.

DARLINGTON, Wis.,, June 2.-One of
the most disastrous rain storms ever
known in this section visited this city
this evening about Z o'clock. The storm
came from the south, an unusual quar-
ter. The wind blew a hurricane, rain
fell in torrents and hailstones as large as
hens eggs crashed against houses and
through foliage. Many window lights
are broken, several outhouses blown
down and incalculable damage to crops
has resulted. The river has risen four
feet in an hour and bids fair to be the
highest ever known. No loss of life is
reported so far.

wbv Barring Bros. Failed.

New YORK, June Gas soon as the
collapse of the Barring Brothers was an
nounced the New York World sent a
staff correspondent to the Argentine Re-
public to inquire into the investments
which precipitated the failure. The
correspondent made thorough investi-
cations and his report makes a remark
able story, showing how Charles H. San
ford, a Yankee drummer for the sale of
pills and toilet preparations, first Sc
cured membership in the American firm
of s. B. Hale & Co., in Buenos Ayers
and after making 100000 by a single
financial coup went to London and won
the confidence of Lord Revelstoke, head
Of the Barring firm, thence returning to
Argentine and investing untold millions
of the Barring gold in doubtful enterpri-
SEES and securities. When Sanford went
to London he besieged Lord Revelstoke,
head of the firm of Barring
Bros. along, varied and piano.
ramic" was the tale the man poured
into Revelstoke's ear. Sanford talked
to Revelstoke about the extraordinary
resources of Argentine and the unbound
ed prospects of the country. Soon the
head Barring was heard to say Sanford
was the cleverest man he had ever met.
| When Sanford departed from London,
carrying with him the confidence and
| admiration of Lord Revelstoke, and with
the millions of the Barring bank behind
him to spend and invest, the universe of
chances was revealed to his triumphant
vision. The correspondent then relates
in detail the story of the investment of
the Barring gold by Sanford. First he
was obliged to substitute the government
officials to obtain the great water
works contract. This part of the story
is told in these words: The estimated
cost of the entire works on which inter-
est was to be allowed was $36,500,O00 in
gold. The price of concession to Barring
Bros, through 8. B. Hale & Co
was $21,OO0,000 in gold, payable
to the minister of finance in three
installments. This was the public price,
but there is another side to the business
and it forms q dark chapter in the record
of the Barring Bros. bank. Nothing is
conceded from the government in Argen-

trade with neighboring communities
and, especially, with the sister republics
of Central and South America, which
