THE AUTHORITIES HAVE
DECIDED TO MAKE THE
MERCURY CLIMB HIGH
IN THE CASE OF
A FARMER
Who Has Lived in Adultery
For Years, Tacitly
Bidding Defiauoe.to a Most Stringent
Law.

In 1879 farmer living in the southern
part of Napoleon township was prosecuted
for living in adultery with disreputable
woman and having attempted to perform an
abortion.
Through some technicality the case was
lost and instead of proftihg by experience
and very narrow escape from prison cell,
this same farmer with an inordinate admira-
tion for Mormonism has been an ardent dis
ciple of their creed ever SINCE
His wife lives on one portion of the farm
while on another is his inamorata, provided
for by him. There is also, it IS claimed,
another of his paramours residing within his
very household.
The result of this damnable condition of
things, which has long since been nauseat-
ing stencil to the nostrils of all decency, is
four illegitimate children with but few
moons to elapse before quintet of this un-
lawful progeny will be looked upon by the
defamer of morality.
Five weeks ago his wife brought suit for
divorce, but with the husbands promise that
he would forever abandon his evil course,
she promised to withdraw the suit.
He brought the woman, now pregnant, to
Napoleon, and demanded of his better half
that she fulfill her portion of the verbal con-
tract AS having complied with her mod
est (?) request, she refused and the suit will
| be tried the next term of court.
Prosecuting Attorney Ragan has notified
the clerk of Napoleon tp., of the existence of
the bastard children in question, and calling
attention to section 545 of the revised stat.
utes laid down their course, which is. Ito al
once send the children to some children's
home. As for the rest, his duty is plain, and
shall be fulfilled.
That this outrageous violation of the law
should have been winked at as long as it has
| is a mystery, solution of which would re.
fleet credit on no one.
1t has but recently been brought to the no.
tice of Mr.. Ragan, whose indefatigable ener-
| gy in prosecuting criminals will be brought
to bear in this instance with all it's force. lie

He Likes the Pacific SIope.

There are but few states to which the
NORTHWEST does not find it's way.
A letter is before us from ). F. O verhuls
Olympia, Washington, in which he orders
this paper for another year and highly prais-
es it's worth.
He is much pleased with Washington. 'The
climate" he says, 'is healthful, not to wet
nor too dry, the nights are cool, with no flies,
thus, good sound refreshing sleep is enjoyed
by all. The country will in time make a
Garden of Eden in the fruit line, as all fruits
grow here to perfection. But it will never
be farming country-too many gravel hills.
Still man who has a few acres of land on
the bottom lands near any of the Sound
cities has a good thing; likewise one who can
afford to set out fruit trees on the highlands,
as fruit brings an excellent price and always
will, owing to large shipments"

When viii School tsiein ?

Their are many reports in regard to the
date on which school will commence this
year.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
open up on the first Monday in September
which would this year come on fair week. AS
very little work has ever been done on this
week the board will in all probability post
pone the commencement until the following
week. A meeting this week will decide the
matter.
1t ives generally understood that the week
beginning August 81 would be the opening
week but member of the board states that
such report has no foundation whatever.

A Successful Florida Boy.

Henry w. Richholt, of Bismark, North Da-

the best sheep and wheat raising country in

THE DREAD OF GHOSTS.
Indian Ghost, Supposed to Be Mischiev
Gus and Malicious.

indian ghosts supposed TO BE M1Schiev-
Gus and Malicious.
The dread of ghosts so well known
to all uncivilized and semi uncivilized
countries is common in the aborigines
of India to an unusual degree; the
same may be said of their Aryan con-
querors and the lower classes of Mo-
hammedans. All Indian ghosts are
supposed to be mischievous. and some
of them bitterly malicious. The only
means employed to appease the rancor
of these unlaid spirits Is to build
shrines for them and to make them
offerings such as a fowl, a pig; and
on grand occasions, buffalo. Any
severe illness, and more especially
any epidemic disease such as small
pox or cholera, is attributed to the
malisnancy of certain of these spirits,
which must be propltiated accord
ingly.
The 'man-tiger' is. perhaps, the
most dreaded of all the Indian demon
ghosts for. when tiger has killed a
man, the tiger itself is considered safe
from harm, the spirit of the man be-
ing supposed to ride upon the beasts
head and guide him clear of all dan
ger. Accordingly, it is believed that
the only sure mode Of destroying a
tiger who has killed one or more per-
sons is to begin by making offerings
to the spirits of his victims, thereby
depriving the animal of the valuable
services rendered by the ghostly
guides. The ghosts most propitiated
are the spirits of those who have met
violent deaths, whether by design or
accident including death by poison
and contagious diseases. Even
wretches who have been hanged for
their crimes are supposed to have the
same powers of causing evil to the
living as those who have been killed
by tigers or by lightning. In parts
where serpent worship is common it is
considered a great honor to die from
the bite of one of the poisonous crea-
lures. st. Louis Republic.
