The changing bell of the hospital
ambulance had warned the pedes-
trians and the street was clear when
the vehicle ratified up to the door of
the big double decker New York tene-
ment.
''Mugsey's done it this time for fair,
DOCTOR shouted one of the crowd
that had gathered on the sidewalk as
the young ambulance surgeon disap-
peared in the doorway.
Up two flights and at the back the
doctor found white-faced old woman
who told him in awed whispers that
she was afraid her son had killed his
wife.
Hes a good boy when he's sober,
sir, but it's the drink that makes him
beat her." pleaded the old mother, as
the doctor hurried into the room at
the back.
There on a cot under the window
lay the unconscious form of a young
woman, who would have been rather
pretty but for the bruises that her hus-
bands fists had left on her pale face.
A quick examination showed that she
was only stunned, and the restorative
which the doctor gave her had almost
immediate effect.
where's Mugsey, mam?" she asked
of the old woman almost as soon as
she opened her eyes.
Here / am answered voice from
the fire-escape, and ''Mugsey'' clam

doctor hurried out of the door.

1t is not always safe to be too conf
dent in your assertions, even to an ig-
norant man. for he may get the better
Of you in an argument. The truth
was well illustrated in a story told at
a recent conference in England on
technical education in villages. One
speaker, referring to the prevalent ig-
norance about common things, said
that he once saw a laborer digging
flints in the chalk. and asked him if he
thought they grew.
NO" was the reply Il don't think
about it; l knows they do"
Then place a flint on your chimney
piece, and see how much it grows in a
twelve month" "
''All right, sir, and do you do the
same with tater and see how much
that grows"

House Bill Nc. 1 Again.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: notice in the Fargo
Forum OF the 18th inst. an article comment
ing in very unjust terms upon Representa-
tive Newman and house bill No. l, which
lately became 4 law. Out of justice, not
only to Mr.. Newman, but to the law itself,
l ask permission through your paper to re-
ply to this article.
In the first place the law is Just exactly
what it purpOrts to be. viz: a law extend
ing the time Of appeals from an order
where the statement of the case or bill of
exceptions, which have been presented to
the court in time, but are not settled by
him within the sixty days allowed for APP
peals from an order-a very Just and proper
law.
Sccondly-Mr. Newman has no action to
my knowledge which will be affected by
this law. Certainly the one referred to in
said article will not be affected by it.
T~hirdly-This bill was submitted by me
to Mr.. Newman as it was also to every
other lawyer in both houses then present.
Its necessity and propriety was fully dis
cussed and all agreed that it should be u
law. MI. Newman introduced the bill ar
my request. When introduced in the house
its object was fully explained by him and
the necessity of having it passed before
the session of the supreme cour on Jan.
10. lie also stated that while there
would be but few cases to which
this amendment would apply, viz: where
the court through inadvertance or press of
business failed to settle the statement or
bill within the period allowed for appeal
ing, still when such Il case did arise the
extra time for appealing should be allowed.
He also stated and explained that there
was but II case to his knowledge now
pending in which this law would be need
ed, but that many cases might arise in the
future requiring it.
Now everyone comedies that this is Il
good and proper law. But 1t is stated tina,
1t Will be the means OF securing u hearing
in the supreme court on Il particular case
that could not otherwise be heard. But is
that a fault? IT the respondent in the APP
peal and the court are right OH either law
or fact, how is he injured by the appeal ?
And II they are wrong then simple Justice
would demand u reversal. The law does

A Wonderful Machine.

There is 40 doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears ont by friction. 1t is said that he
is born again every two or three years.
His body is virtually re-made from food.
70 re!ard this making over is radically
wrong, as a man loses so much vitality in
the delayed process that it takes a long
time to reeuperate. The process of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with
BrandetL's Pills that a new man, as it were,
may be made in two or three months, and
tue change in the mechanism is such that
the Worn out party in replaced by the new
without the usual running down of the
repairs. Purge away with Brandeth's Pills
the old, diseased Ond wor out body. They
are purely vegetable, absolutely harmless,
and safe to take at any time.

Can This Be?

jamestown Alert: 1t has been repeat
eddy urged as an argument in favor of
the ~prohibitory law, that there was less
liquor consumed now, than under a H.
cense system 1t was not claimed that
the law prohibited the sale of liquors
generally in the state, but that a less
per cent. of lntoxicants was consumed,
and because Of this supposed decrease
the law should be retained. For North
Dakota these we're sweeping statements
and have not been proved. No statistics
from liquor dealers were obtaiued and no
reliable facts offered in support of these
statements.
On the other hand opinions of leading
men have been published stating that
they believed as much liquor was used
as aver in North Dakota and was dis
pensed in a form which aggravated
rather than mitigated the evils of lntem-
perance. The business of express CON-
panies shows that an increasing trade
in bottled liquors, jugs, ETC., exists. The
Wahpeton Globe has taken the pains to
gather the following. information, show
ing the increased consumption of beer in
this state under prohibition. The Globe
says:
Wahpeton is and for years has been
the headquarters of the Heileman Brew
ing company of Lacrosse, the Blatz
company Of Milwaukee, the Pabs: CON-
pany of Milwaukee, the John Orth CON-
pany of Minneapolis and the Mime
apolis Brewing company. These CON-
panies maintain agents in Wahpeton aud
Breckenridge (the latter On the Mime
sofa side). who receive the goods from
the companies only in car lots.
The Globe has made an effort to get
the total amounts of beer shipped into
the country by these agents, and has
succeeded i'll getting figures from the
Heileman and Blatz agencies. The
figures m with 1888, and are
correct, as follows:

The postmaster general has directed that

about one.third of the entire number of

not effect the merits on an appeal, but only
extends the time for appealing in the
single instance mentioned.
The article also refers to a case in the
supreme court, which will be affected and
states that in that case the plaintiff is a
corporation. This is not true. The plain
tiff consisted Of a partnership composed of
the Edwards d. McCulloch Lumber COM
pany and U. A.. Tubbs. After the case had
been twice tried U. A. Tubbs died and the
surviving partners. Now, this case has
been tried three times. before three differ
ent juries, and a verdict rendered each
time (Once by direction OF cOurt) in favor
of plaintiff. This may tend to show where
lies the merits OF the case on the facts.
The last verdict was set aside by the court
and a new trial ordered on grounds
purpose OF taking an appeal a bill Of eX-
ceptions was presented to the court on the
18th day of June and was not settled until
Aug. 30. Now, if the law is applicable to
this particular case and the court has lr-
gally and properly set aside the last ver-
dict the supreme cOur will certainly sus-
tain him. How then, can this law possibly
injure anyone?
The law is a just and proper one and l
did what could to secure its passage and
l will cheerfuliy take on my shoulders
any adverse comments. The standing of
Judge Newman as a lawyer, his known
reputation for integrity is too we'll es-
tablished to need any defense to sustain
him in the opinion OF those who know
him. and above all when he is assaulted for
supporting a just law.
So far as my own name is connected as
being interested in this law all l have to
say is that no one can justly accused me
of ever having favored any measure l did
not believe absolutely right and just as l
know this to be. Yours truly,

Ever since the eventful Saturday night
when the residents of Bismarck were
gathered together beneath the sheltering
roof of the far-famed Atheneum, and
listened to the oratorical announcements
Of blind pigs, there has been an awful dry
ness. 1t is adryness which is so dry that
it impresses itself v upon the dryest
prohibitionist. Where once were the
abodes of those unfortunate animals who
have fallen under the ban OF the law;
where once shown the glimmering lights
of a half dozen kerosene lamps to attract
the attention of the belated inhabitant:
where once tinkled and jingled the glasses
filled with that amber colored liquid which

as a whole, but to a number of its resi-

extensively used by authors are here eX-
emp)itied in very truth and fact. The
