Wants to use North Dakota Coal.

c.. +. Hyde in Dickey County Leader:
We have been trying a carload of North
Dakota Ignite in the mill the past week,
and it works first rate. We cannot afford
to use any more of it, however. if we have
to pay the Milwaukee railroad company as
much on future shipments from Edgeley
as this car cost us. l suppose the scheme
is to keep out native fuel and compel us to
use Illinois coal, and that's just what we
will have to do unless cheaper freight
rates can be obtained, as this lot cost us
5 cents more per ton than Illinois coal, and
of course no n will pretend that it is as
good. I believe it would be a splendid fuel
for house use, as there is no smoke or SCOT,
and it can also be used nicely in the engine
after the fireman once becomes used to it.
The car contained about seventeen tons Of
the Ignite, and the charge from Edgeley
to Observation-Disclosures miles-was 1924 IA.
You can easily .see a great injustice
here and the attention of the railroad com :
missioners should be called to it.

MICKEY FINN AND HIS GOAT,
Something About the Author of the Fa-
NOUS Sketches.
Especial Correspondence.

NEW York, May 25.-Ernest Jarrold,
the author of the Mickey Finn sketches,
which have delighted lovers of Irish char
acter wherever they have been read, is be-
low the medium size, with dark, expressive
eyes, hair slightly tinged with gray, and a
sympathetic voice that adds to the most
simple description IN indescribable grace
and charm. Jarrold is a Bohemian by nat
ure and temperament, and loves to dwell
among the people where the polish of soci-
ETY. has not etfaced the rough edges of hui
manity.
Mr.. Jarrold was born in the village of
Brentwood, a suburb of London, England,
forty years ago. He crossed the ocean
when two years old, and was taken by his
father, who was a carpenter, to the village
of Rondout, Ulster county, N. Y. When
eighteen years old he was apprcnticed to
the proprietor Of the Rondout Courier to
learn the printers trade. At the age of
twenty he married and settled down to the
uneventful life of a compositor, and work
ed for ten years in that capacity, earning
ten dollars a week. His family increased
until there were four children to provide
for. Then Jarrold got uneasy. He began
in a desultory way to contribute to the
Rondout Freeman.
The articles were always printed, but the
fever of writing was on him, and he wasn't

man. He has held astorates in Methuen,
Lowell and Boston, Mass. In July, 1867. he
gave up his pastoral work to accept the
presidency of Tufts college, in Medford,
Mass. The following year the D. D.. was
conferred upon him by Harvard universe
ty. In November, 1874, he resumed charge
of the Columbus Avenue Universalist
church, which he still retains. He has
been a member of the Massachusetts board
of education since 1867 and chairman of
the board of visitors of the massachusetts
normal school since 1878. He is president
of the State Temperance alliance, and was
the Prohibition candidate for governor in
1878. The Universalist Publishing house
was also of his projection.

Mr.. Register says that the prohibition
cases keep b0bbing up in court like Ban
quo's ghost. every few minutes.
Last evening Judge Winchester dis
charged all the jurors for the term, except
Messrs. Wallace and Flynn, and the term
is held open. Messrs. Wallace and Flynn
will not draw pay, except when their ser
vices are called for.
The work of the court will close to-day
or to morrow, until after the Emmons and
the Kidder county terms. There are some
cases still on the enthusiastically the

nished rooms with his family and writing
at night. For one year he wrote articles
and sent them to all the leading papers in
the United States, invariably getting them
back. The history of some of these manu-
scripts would make interesting reading.
One of them followed Joseph Pulitzer t.
three watering places n came back re-
jected. By this time Jarrold's confidence
was several degrees below zero. Then the
idea of creating an original character oc-
Cured to him. Out of this inspiration
Mickey Finn was born. There was a To-
cality on the suburbs of Rondout locally
known as Cooney Island. 1t was mainly
settled by Irishmen. In his leisure Jar
rold had studied the peculiarities of the
people for amusement. Now he utilized
the knowledge thus obtained.
Mickey Finn was born in an environ
ment of green fields, laughing brooks,
goats, chickens, ducks and all the appurte-
nances of bucolic surroundings. The first
Finn story was a success, as his subsequent
ones, in all about fifty, have been, and this
is putting it mildly. Most of the Finn
stories were wrought out of the white heat
of endeavor, some of them being rewritten
six different times. They were published
in the New York Sun, and nave been wide
ly copied. The best one, so considered, is
called mickey Firms H~armonica," which
was made out of four rejected stories.
When the New York Evening Sun was
started, three years ago, Amos Cummings,
the managing editor, gave Jarrold a posi-
ton as special writer. This was his first
experience on the staff of a paper.
His sketches of the Bowery attracted at
%tention, and his subsequent work, which
has received circulation through the
American Press Association and otherwise,
has received wide reading. In 1889 Arthur
Brisbane, who had assumed control of The
Evening" Sun, sent Jarrold to Ireland, where
he spent three months writing weekly let
tiers. OF course there are those who criti-
else Mr.. Jarrold's work. For instance,
Edward Harrigan, the actor, who has so
successfully portrayed low life in New
York, says the brogue of Jarrold's charac-
tiers is unnatural; but this does not seem to.
the writer to be a just criticism. Jarrold
declares that if he should give the Irish
brogue literally it would be understood
and appreciated by but few, and his aim
has been, if the expression is allowable, to
~popularize the Irish-American character.
and render it Ineligible to all. If he has
departed from nature it has been only in
such ways as would add to the value with
out leaving the limits Of truth.#4Pcrhaps

Court opened Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock. The argument Of council was re-
sumed on the question as to whether GER
tain liquor cases should be tried by a jury
or by the court. After hearing Messrs.
B ucher and Register, Judge Winchester
d cided to submit to a jury the questions
as to whether the defendants kept for sale
and did sell intoxicating liquors.
The case Of the First National bank of
Bismarck vs.. George Peoples was then
called. Mr.. Register appeared for the
plaintiff and Messrs. Stoyell and Edgerley
for the defendant.
The answer of the defendant did not
conform to the proof; the plaintiff moved
for judgment and the jury was instructed
to find for the plaintiff in the sum of
$572. go.
Mr.. Register moved that the bond of
Dennis Linehan, given by Con Peoples
and Thos. J. Flavin be forfeited. Mr..
O'Connor appeared for Linehan and Mr..
Edgerley for Mr.. Peoples. Mr.. O'Connor
moved that the case be continued to the
next term. He then stated that the bond
was worthless anyhow, as it is drawn to
the Territory Of Dakota instead of to the
state Of North Dakota and is not worth the
paper It's written n Judge Winchester
looked over to the bond and said that he
should hold that it was good. Mr.. Regis
ter addressed himself to this proposition
and quoted section 1857 of the compiled
laws to sustain his position. The bonds
men were given sixty dayS in which to
produce the defendant and at the end of
that time the bond will be forfeited. Mr..
'Connor says that Linehan is looking for
the party that gave him the coat with
which he Is charged of stealing.
On motion Of the attorneys for j. G. San
ders. the case Of the state against j. G.
Sanders and q. r. Williams was continued
over the term, on the payment Of 1926 costs

Talking of patent medicines-you know
the old prejudice. And the doctors-some
of them are between you and us. They
would like you to think that what's cured
thousands won't cure you. You'd believe
in patent medicines if they didn't profess
to cure everything-and so, between the
experiments of doctors, and the expert
ments of patent medicines that are sold
only because there's money in the "stutf,"
you lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the prescrip-
ton that cures by what you read in the
papers. So, perhaps, there's no better way
to sci! a remedy than to tell the truth
