Forfeiture il the Law!

Forfeiture IL the Law!
Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
Hompe-Hall-McGee outfit, Forfeiture
is still the penalty for usury. We
have given two cases in the GREAT
WEST the present year, and now we
quote a third, where the principal
was wiped out by the defense Of
usury. Good enough for one year
but what drives the staple down
through the hearts of those alliance
frauds is that capital don't leave
the stated We don't see how the
newspaper called the estate" can
stand up under this direful condition
OF things. The estate" was a rank
organ OF the plutocrats during the
interest-bill fight, and was going to
have the wilderness of Minnesota
stripped OF capital instantly. In
deed, the lying money-loaners leaned
up against the shoulder OF the
estate" and told them to pitch in
Lambie- we'll issue orders to
loan no more money until the thing
is settled! And it was settled, and
10! Forfeiture is the law, is executed
and Cap. don't bulge over the
border! Read this, then, from the
provinces:
At the recent term of the Grant
county court the case OF Hawkins VS..
SANDY was tried. The plaintiff sued
to recover note for $500 given by
defendant to One B. C. Russell, of
keene, N. H., and subsequently trans
ferred to plaintiff, who seeks to get
possession of the property by an
action in replevin. Defendant adj
mits the execution OF the note and
mortgage and interposed the de-
tense OF usury. The evidence on
both sides substantially agreed that
defendant received $454.45 and that
$1,000 was retained by Russell's
agent, Alfred Colony, of Ashby, as a
bonus, in addition to ten per cent.
interest on the $500. This was
sufficient to make the note void, if
Russell had knowledge of the usurious
transaction. After being out for
three hours the Jury found a verdict
Tor the defendant. The case occupied
nearly two days and drew a large
crowd OF spectators, many Of whom
had special interest in the outcome,
for about 100000, borrowed by
many persons of various parties on
the same terms, depended on the YER
dict in this case. The trial was ably
and adroitly conducted by the OPP
posing counsel, c. J. Gunderson, of
Alexandria, for defendant, and J. w.
Reynolds, of Herman, for plaintiff.
The plaintiff will at once appeal to
the supreme court The five COM
panion cases on the calendar were
continued until the next term, by
which time the higher court will
have passed upon this case.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
The following item appeared in the
"Grand Forks Daily Herald" OF June
9th.
"The Secretary of the Interior has
approved the account of 81, 73O for
the Bismark Tribune and SO, 800 for
the Huron Times, for the publication
OF proposals for the bids for the sur
vey OF the boundary line between
North and South Dakota"
Ihave endeavored to find informa-
ton as to the correctness of this
item, but the editor says he knows
nothing about it. If it be correct I
should very much like to know how
much labor is represented by this
sum OF 1912
Ihave long been a reader of your
paper and an admirer of your energy
and skill in making the light shine in
dark places. feel assured that you
can and will let some light in here.

"ResOlved:: That we as members

We clip the following from New

Mrs. Valesch, it seems, is about to
seek new fields for work. 1t is well,
perhaps, and we trust that her labor
may not lead to such disastrous re-
suits as in this state. She is bright
and witty, and handsome-and if the
shadow of plutocratic protection
which hangs over her here is but a
shadow, great possibilities are before
her. 1t is uncertain what will be-
come of the state work here-it could
not be more of a dead failure, how
ever. We trust the above notice

NEWARK, y. j., Dec. IA box to hold
handkerchiefs or laces is constructed en-
tirely of glass and ribbon. Procure two
pieces of glass by 9 inches, two q,
by inches and two 81 by inches
They will have to be cut to order. For the
rest, six and onehalf yards of ribbon one
and one-eighth inches wide. enough thin
silk to loosely cover the bottom OF the box
and little cotton wadding and sachet
powder are needed. Lay a piece Of the
wadding, cut to fit, over one of the largest
glass pieces and glue it along the edges
Sprinkle it with good sachet powder and
lay another piece of wadding over it, glu-
ing it tightly to the first piece Over all
arrange in loose folds piece of India silk
to match the color OF the ribbon chosen,
catching it to the wadding with needle and
silk. Cut the ribbon in lengths to fold
over the edge of this piece of glass, turn
ing in each end so that no raw edges shall
be left, and overhanding it firmly. The
ribbon can be glued over the edges OF
glass, cotton and silk so as to hold all Sc
curely. Stretch ribbon in the same way
over all the pieces OF glass, gluing it on,
and overhanding it at the eUds. If pos
sible have the pieces intended for the top
of the box handpainted in oils. II this
cannot te done n pretty finish is obtained
by having large bow of ribbon reaching
from corner to corner of the top. When
ali tie pieces OF glass are eiged with rib
bon put them in place, overhanding them
firmly at each corner. Cover the top stitch
ing by bows and finish with a loop Of rib
bon at the front to lift the lid by, and
hinge of the same opposite the loop. Tns
box from which this description is made
is trimmed with old rose ribbon, and the
top is decorated with purple, white and
pink morning glories painted on the glass.
These boxes make beautiful cases for Pho
tographs now that the caprice OF fashion
has declared the album to be no longer in
vogue. Glove and cravat cases can also be

with. A feature common to many Of
them is an iron standard which Is SET
against the wall with weights, which
run up or down, according as the ropes,
set on pullevs, are pulled. One is so
adjusted that the man pulls with his
head while he leans for support on two
horizontal bars. This not alone works
the muscles on the neck and shoulders
but the abdominal ones as well. The
second one has curved board Fixed to
support the back while the man leans
backward and. with his arms thrown
up and somewhat il rear of his head,
pulls at the ropes. This is considered
the best machine, and should be used
sparingly at first. 1t will effectually
remove all tendency to obesity from
the abdomen.

new appliances. This is particularly
true of the exercises taken for the pur-
pose of reducing fat and improving tho
beauty and symmetry of the human
form. Clubs and dumb-bells only
affect certain muscles without inter-
fering with the rest of the body, and.
while they reduce weight, they do not
always lessen the width of the waist.
The reason Of this is that the abdom-
inal muscles which are clogged with
fat in the case Of an enlargement Of
that part Of the body are not e1erted
in club or dumb-bell exercise, or even
in walking or riding.
Within the last few years machines
have been invented for the express pur-
pose Of supplying these deficiencies.

Balmaceda has directed the suspension

ment. In the future he prOclaimS dur
ing the present emergency payments OF

officer to day pointed out that this

the part OF Balmaceda, who is just as
likely as not preparing for an abdic-
tion. Such things have happened often
enough before in South American rev.

Such an act would of course end the

WASHINGTON, D. c., May S.-The
Navy Department is still in sore straits
10 find able seamen enough to man our
ships. Nearly all the recruits the law
allows have been secured, and there are
not yet enough to 90 around. The
United States Steamer Lancaster is in
California, ready TO go to China, but she
is short of her complement Of men by at
least eighty. The monitor Miantono-
NAH is at New York, ready to go into
commission, but there are no sailors TO
man her. 1t is said at the Navy De-
partment that there must be pro rata
scaling down Of the compliments Of all
our ships, at least until Congress meets
and enlargeS the forces.
