The editor of the Marlboro Gazette
says through the columns of his valuable
paper that he was never treated better 10
his life than on his first visit to Port To-
bacco made on the day of the Judicial
Convention; that the road from La Plata
TO Port Tobacco passes through as rich
and beautiful farming country as one
would wish to see; and that Port Tobac-
co has two Howing springs of delicious
water and two good newspapcrs-bo both
prime essentials to the health aud morals
of town.

A Severe Storm

A violent wind storm, resembling
in its fury the great western cyclone,
swept assy pofsian of Cobb, Neck on
Saturday last, and did considerable dam

waste before it. Messrs. II. II, and
Thomas w. Richmond suffered the
greatest loss, so far as we are able to
learn, not only having fences destroyed,
but also fine barn and portion of the
dwelling on their lower farm was blown
down. Their loss will amount to several
hundred dollars.

The jamestown Alert declares that
ian easier feeling exists among the
boys since the grand jury has ad-
journed, and they "join heartily with
Judge Rose (only prompted by another
impulse probably in congratulatipg the
jurors on the expedition with which
they completed their work" The Alert
speaks in riddles, but this is an easy
one The "boys" referred to are saloon
men and the grand jury failed to indict.

be had in almost any desired quantity.
Happy are the people of North Dakota.
The prohibitionists have prohibition and
the anti prohibitionists have all the
liquor they want. Thus all are happy
except a sober, sensible class who be-
lieve the evil is bound to exist, but
should be restricted and made to pay a
penalty in the shape of license. The
state is now deprived of a n of owe

bition, and prohibition does not pro-

SOME time ago Minneapolis found it
impossible to sell an issue of $245, 900
municipal bonds drawing 4 per cent. At
this time there was an insecure feeling
in the east-an impression among money
owners that the Twin cities had built too
rapidly and there. might be a tumble in
value and inability on the part of the
Flour city to meet her obligations. There
is now less stringency in the money mar
ket and, backed by the prosperity and
excellent crops of an empire of tributary
country, Minneapolis feels confident that
her securities can now be foated and the
necessary funds wherewith to continue
necessary sewerage, water works and
other municipal improvements realized
therefrom. The fact has now been fully
demonstrated that both Minneapolis and
st. Paul have been built on a sure foun-
dalton. They have had all the "boom"
squeezed out of them, have passed
through two dull seasons and continue
to grow rapidly, solidly and grandly.
The Northwest is proud of the Twin
cities.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer is con-
WINGED that the act passed last winter re-
gulating the shipment of grain and live
stock is a foolish law. It y "A
case Of fool legislation is found in the
act Regulating the shipment of olive
stock, grain and other commodities
passed in the session of '99 and 80. In
section 1 the act reads: Every railroad
company or corporation shall within
sixty days after this act shall go into
effect, upon notice from the commission
ers of railroads, build, erect and COM
plete n or more platforms for the
transfer of live stock, grain and other
commodities from wagons or otherwise
to cars at every station designated in
said notice, etc. The fool part of this
law is in the lines: Within sixty days
after this act shall 60 into effect, etc.
The sixty days were up long ago. The

The jamestown Alert and some other
state papers are criticising the attorney
generator rather his "changing his
mind" on the 5000 exemption matter.
The Alert says:
1t is unfortunate that the attorney gen
eral did not sooner reverse himself. The
assessment has now been made, and up.
on the basis of the 5000 exemptions.
The Alert cannot speak for other coun-
ties, but here the assessors let no prop
erty escape. Poor people whose names
have never before appeared on the tax
roll we're listed. Iu many cases the as
sessment was not more than 500 or $50.
Such people have burdens enough with
out paying taxes on their little. They
never would have been listed but for the
supposed exemption. The effects of
the attorney generals reversal falls
heaviest upon this class of people. In
some counties, it is said, the county
commissioners propose to rise to the
emergency and make the 5000 deduction
IN equalizing assessments. In counties
where the assessment was made as in
this county, such a course would meet
with public approval.

The states of New York and Massa-

battalion of naval militia. The design
of the service is to teach the young men
of those commonwealth the use of the

vice and to have them prepared in time

ton he would consider So wheat as a
matter of course. By holding off a few
weeks and marketing grain gradually the
farmers will learn to know their power,
and if they exert it always with modsra.
zion and according to the true situation
it will be Of infinite value to all their in
terests for many years. It will indeed
take conservative and wise counsel al
ways to moderate such moves to the
actual condition of the worlds crops,
but this year you cannot make a mis-
take, nor will you have to wait even a
single month for the desired results.
A GREAT CHANCE.
You cannot afford to lose the chance
that this year offers you. Don't get ex-
cited, eve if the prices 20 far above
those indicated. This year it is easy for
the farmer to protect his interest. Next
year we will be better prepared to meet
any attempt at manipulating prices.
You must not mind the doings of the
spectators. Let them sell wheat prom.
ises at 10 cents a bushel; that has moth
ing to do with real grain. Spectators
have sold more than your surplus crop
already at about IS cents. What bust
ness have they to do that? Will you
sanction their actions and, SO to say,
make them your agents by delivering
your grain at prices made by them with
out ever consulting you? They have
nothing ito deliver, and a few weeks
patience on your part will made an end
of this swindle forever. When the
wheat gamblers, who have already con-
tracted your whole crops, hear a determ-
ination on your part to hold your grain
for a higher price than they have sold it
for it is likely that they will make des-
perate efforts to further depress prices
on futures for the purpose of soaring
you. This must not effect you in the
least, for.if you hear that a man has sold
your horse OF COW and has to deliver 1t
in a certain time it is your luck because
he has to come to you first and make his
bargain and you will know what to
charge him. If the Spectator sellslyour
wheat for you without consulting you, it
Is the same thing. Let him do so and be
thankful to HIM, for he will com soon
enough to make his bargain with you, and
as he has not asked your advice or con-
sent in regard to price you are not under
obligation to sell your grain below real
value.

aid on crime and criminals which is in

reader has somehow an impression that
the writer is not a criminal at all; rather
some benevolent social philosopher OK
plotting his ideas; but for all that his pa
per is worth reading and considering.
tie signs his name "Jed Jukes," and Jed
Jukes divides penitentiary convicts &C.
cording as they struck his eye during the
four terms in which he says he wore
stripes and served the state. It is the
result of Jed's observation that 80 per
cent. of the criminals are so from power
ty. Half the remaining 10 per cent. are
either idiots or have some form of insan-
ity. That disposes of IS per cent. There
remains only 5 per cent, and among
these are included murderers and others
whose brute passions carry them out of
their reason, and the gentleman crimi-
nal, such as the bank cashier and the
embezzler.
j. j. remarks further that after a man
has followed a life of crime till he is
twenty-five years old there is little hope
of his reformation. For one thing, he
rarely has any trade to fall back on, if
he had he could scarcely get employment
on account of the cry of "jailbird" that
would pursue him to the uttermost parts
of the earth. His stomach is hungry
and will not down. He knows how he
has filled it before and can fill it again;
he feels sullen to all the world, so what
more easy than to glide back into his old
crimes and be brought up at length with
a round turn for another term in the
~penitentiary? =
In the course of his life Jukes met the
men who seemed past redemption, mere
brutal, bloodthirsty rufians. One of
these 'for a mere song would have put a
bullet through any one, even his own
wife, He was such a criminal as we
read about in the dime novels, and he
employed his spare time in trying to
make the younger convicts as bad as
himself. "He was a bloodthirsty wretch
and-what society had made him." says
Jed Jukes, which is hardly fair to socie-
ty. 10 reform the world and empty the
prisons this convict philosopher says
there is only one way, and that is to
catch the children, all of them, and bring
them up to honest, Industrious, intell1-
gent lives.
