LAW THAT Is QUEER.
A Decision which Practically Makes n Nom
de Plume Common Property.

de Plume Common Property.
A very interesting claim, in which
every author who uses signature is
more or less concerned, was ignomini-
ously dismissed by Judge Lacombe in
the United States circuit court. AS /
understand It, mediocre book was pub
lished in this city purporting to have been
written by Alan Dale, the nom de plume
of one of the brightest and cleverest of
New York's younger literary men. As
matter of fact, Mr.. Cohen (Alan Dale)
did not write the book, and when he
heard Of its publication protested against
the use of his name. Protest being un-
availing, through his counselor, Mr..
Steckler, he sued the publisher, claiming
81 900 damages. After hearing Mr.. Co
hens testimony, Judge Lacombe virtu-
ally informed the jury that there was no
necessity of further evidence, as il could
not be shown that the plaintiffs salary
ON daily paper in this city had been de-
creased by reason Of the publication, or
that he had had any subsequent trouble
with publishers.
That may be law; it's not justice.
Mr.. Cohen could have proved by
George Alfred Townsend, A. c. Wheel
er, Samuel L. Clemens and other writers
of national repute that the signatures
over which they are known to the world
Of readers-Gath, Nym Crinkle, Mari;
Twain-mean fortune, and that any
use of those signatures by other parties
was not only an abuse but traverse OF
equity, dishonest and cruel. can't un-
derstand Lacombe's action in the mat
ter. 1t virtually says to irresponsible
publishers: $50 ahead, publish what
You please, lyingly announce that the
matter is written by any author whose
name you may prefer. He has no rem
edy unless he can prove that he has lost
an engagement or is in disfavor with the
publisher"
wonder how Lacombe would like to
see decisions, purporting to have been
rendered by him, signed with his name,
circulated in the community. And |
also wonder whether it ever entered his
somewhat interesting mind that it is adj
visable to mulct thieves, liars and bear
ers of false witness, for the protection of

An Easy Way to Keep Insects on Trees.

To trap various insects in the open
air, half fill wide necked bottles with
sirup or sweetened water, adding enough
arsenic to make the liquid poisonous.
After rainstorm the bottles should ba
emptied and refilled, as before mentioned.
Hang the bottle on the branches of the
trees and among the bushes, etc. This
is ready and simple method of trapping
all insects that prey ON sweets, conse.
quently keeping the trees free from many
noxious pests that prey annually ON shade
and fruit trees.--Cor. BROOKLYN Eagle.

The Earth VIII raI, Out Of balance

Marshall Wheeler, one of the best
known of the great army of Pacific coast
scientists, claims to have discovered q
third principal motion of the earth"
which is this: Every 20,903 years the
globe changes its north and south poles
on account Of the attraction the earth
has for its own magnetism. The sun,
too, strongly attracts one of the poles
and repels the other. This being the
case, it only takes the short space of
go, ,9O3 years for the double attraction TO
careen it over to such an extent that il
suddenly ''iiops' 90 degrees. Mr.. Wheel
er says that one of these grand ''fiops"
occurred 5000 years ago, at the time set
down by the geologists as the 'glacial
epoch. h."-St. Louis ReIublic.

The Educated Hoosier Cockroach.

While gentleman was at his Office
desk day or two ago, one of these dis
reputable reaches ran across the paper
on which he was writing. He Tipped it
against the wall with his finger, and it
bounded back on the desk, lighting upon
its back. It remained motionless for
some time until it recovered from the
shock and then endeavored to get upon
its feet again, but in vain. Smaller
reaches passed by their prostrate brother,
evidently without noticing it, but a larger
one came along pretty soon, stopped,
went over to the one that lay upon its
back, straddled across it, and giving it
a quick jerk with its forelegs landed it
deftly upon its feet, and the two disap-
peared over the edge of the desk.-In-

Children Over Six Hundred Years Ago.

Somebody has unearthed book writ
ten by Bartholomew Anglicas about
1860, of which one of the most amusing
chapters is ON the children of his day.
OF these he writes: "They dread no
perils more than beating with rod, and
they love an apple more than gold and
make more sorrow and woe for the loss
of an apple than for the loss of a heri-
tage. They desire all that they see and
pray and ask with voice and with hand.
They keep no counsel, but they tell all
that they hear and see. Suddenly they
laugh, and suddenly they weep. Always
they cry and jangle and jape; that un-
meth they be still while they sleep. When
they be washed of filth, anon they defile
themselves again. When their mother
washeth and combeth them, they kick
and sprawl and put with feet and with
hands, and Withstand with all their
might" All Of which sounds very mod
ern and up to date.

In Re Russian Cactus.

1A AAO N"oSstsA u~Sss
Residents and farmers of the Missouri
slope, who have had little, if any, en-
p%erience with Russian cactus, do not
realize how serious the pest is becoming
in some of the central and eastern coun-
ties of the state. And if anything were
needed to impress it's danger in these
place upon the public, the interest taken
in the meeting called to devise means
for the determination of the pest, held
at LaMoure recently would be sufficient.
Some of the most prominent and rep.
resentative citizens Of the state were
present, and there was a lengthy discus
sion of the weed and Of what should be
done:to ridthe state of it. The cactus it.
self is a light weed, easily blown along by
the wind, and the growths of it have
choked and killed thousands If acres of
grain the past year. There are numer
GUS plans suggested to keep the pes
down, but none of them seem feasible.
The representatives at the meeting ap-
pointed a committee to look into these
plans, and report to the state commits
sioner of agriculture, and when this is
done, it is possible government aid may
be asked to aid in riddicg the state of
the cactus.

Great excitement in Bismarck caused
by the murder of a soldier named Frank
King by "Spotty" Whalon, at the point,
opposite Fort Lincoln. The row was
over the affections of a disreputable
character named Maud Seymour. The
soldiers comrades, bent on revenge,
came to Bismarck in force and we'll
armed late the same night and sur.
rounded the notorious dance house of
O'Neill & Mullen, on Fourth street, in
search of Whalon. Dave Mullen, known
| all along the Northern Pacific as one of
| the most desperate characters in the
west, appeared at the door and imme-
diately opened fire on the soldiers out
side, killing n named Dalton. In re-
turn he was greeted with a rifle ball in
his own brain. Another man named
Dennis Manlhan, was struck on the side
of the head by a rife ball and a danger
GUS wound inflicted. After killing Null.

ELECTION

In Detroit, Mich, the republican
mayor, Prignee, was reelected by about
1900 majority.
Governor Boies of iowa, didn't carry
his own ward and Neal, in Ohio, didn't
carry his W precinct-the first time it
ever went republican.
The populists were routed by the re-
publicans in Kanvas. The former elect
only three of the thirteen district judges.
In nearly every county the republicans
elected their officers over the populists
and democrats by majority owe both.
1t seems that the woman suffrage pro-
position in Colorado wins.
After listening to the returns for a
couple of hours Larry Neal, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Ohio,
expressed a desire to snake it mann
GUS for Mckinley" Democratic dis
appointment, or rather establishment,
was so pronounced on all side, it wa alb
s%olutely ridiculous, and at telegraphic
headquarters they fell in with the re-
publicans and helped swell the rejoicing
by mirth-provoking admissions.
The entire republican judicial ticket
was elected in Chicago.
The result of the election is confusing
to the populists and discouraging to the
democrats.
AHuron, S. D. dispatch says the pop
ulist vote in the state has fallen off
so per cent. Republicans who deserted
their party and joined in the populist
outburst find there's nothing in it.
