Taxes vs.. Prohibition.

Replying to a newspaper observation
that Grand Forks is contented with the
prohibition law. the Plaindealer objects,
and claims that there is decidedly
strong sentiment among the heaviest
tax payers in favor Of high license. Five
per cent taxes are keeping back many
enterprises" says the Plaindealer, "and
eating up the principal Of every owner
OF property. Grand Forks has 5 per
cent taxes and East Grand Forks none.

Covering Up Theft.

There is considerable petty thieving
gong on, and in number OF cases the
offenders have been permitted to escape
punishment by the owners Of the stolen
property refusing to prosecute on return
OF the property. This is compound
ing felony and has been
the means Of encouraging rather
than preventing theft. The officers of
the county find no incentive to bring
offenders to light, under such circum-
stances, and it is reported that they are
seriously considering taking the law in
their own hands and prosecuting the
next case Of this kind, themselves.

All arrangements for the people have
been ample and Mr.. Looms, who has
charge of the Gray Bros barn, is &C.
com .nodating and painstaking in every
way. There are boats to be had both at
the LOOMS boat house and at La
Brashe's.
1t is expected that number of city
people will soon be occupying tents or
cottages at the lake. Mr.. and Mrs.
Winslow expect to spend some time
during the hot months in their cottage,
and will put IN several improvements in
the way OF additional rooms.
Several big pickeral have been caught
by trolling recently and a number have
not been caught that we're hooked.
Broken lines, wrecked poles and sad ex.
periences have followed the hooking of
some of the big pickeral that forage on
the perch Of Spiritwood lake.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Wallace are now domi-
ciled ut their boat house, upon which
several days were spent in the repairing
after being demolished by the waves of
last years storms. The Wallace point
never looked prettier and more attrac.
tive than it does at present. A new ice
house containing supply OF the neces-
sary material for a summer outing is
also ct hand. There seems to be more
birds nests and tame muskrats on that
portion Of the lake than ever before.
Sunday saw an unusually large crowd
at the lake. Nearly every boat was in re-
QUESTION and the livery stable men in
jamestown had orders for several days
IN advance for rigs. A number Of
jamestown people spent the greater part
of last week at the lake.
A number Of cyclists made quick
trip from this city to the lake Sunday
They were Messrs. Coggeshall, Ferrier
end Griffen, who made the 16 miles or
more in an hour and As minutes, both

the dsy being perfect for good riding
good time was made. The route is ex-

Work Of the Bright Pupils ut That
Flourishing School.
The exhibit of school work done by
children Of St. Johns academy has at
tracted great deal of attention and has
been seen by numerous visitors. The
walls of one Of the school rooms are
hung with fancy work, drawings, sketches
and maps, all OF which show the high
degree OF excellence attained by the
pupils. The fancy needle work is parti
cularly creditable. There are elegant
pictures and chair throws, embroidery
work of skillful character, and daintily
executed crocheting. The practical
features Of this instruction, given once q
week by the Sisters, are not overlooked.
There are several children's dresses made
by the pupils for themselves, and one
dress made by Miss Becker of Valley

of ginRham aprons, ornamented by
designs of different patterns, IN drawing
is large. The object OF this instruction
is to teach the children to do work of
thls useful and ornamental kind for their
own use If for nothing else.
There are some excellent specimens of
crsyon work, drawing and painting by
pupils. The teacher Of this art is to be
congratulated on the work OF her young
ladies. Among the more finished and
really meritorious productions in this
work are those Of Miss Boyle and Miss
McHarg OF jamestown and Miss Getchell

colored map OF North Dakota, by Katie
Burke, also Of Valley City, is shown.
There are displayed some excellent
pencil drawings from models, showing
careful study of light and shade work
and general proficiency of the pupils.
The collection Determination papers is
sufficient to testify to the progress of the
school. The papers are neatly written,
and the subjects embraced are the usual
studies pursued by the academy classes,
which consist of girls from to IS years
Of age.
The years work OF the academy has
been highly successful, both in point Of

The Moorhead Bank Robbery.

The Moorhead Bank Robbery.
Cashier Paul VanVlissengen makes
the following statement in regard to the
robbery of the Moorhead national bank,
Monday afternoon:
II was alone IN the bank. A man
walked in at the front door and stepped
up to the window. was standing about
half way down the counter. When I
looked up he had me- covered with
large revolver. He said:
Hand over your money!
II replied: Take it,
He then turned and went out the
front door. went toward the back
door to call for help. just then the
man returned. He threw down his pistol
to level with my head and walked
around through the hall and the consult
alton room into the main bank room.
He grabbed up pile Of gold on the
counter. Then he pulled open the
drawer and took out about $500 of
currency. Then he backed out of the
bank room, keeping his revolver point
ing at me until he got into the little con.
sultation roonl. Then he ran to the side
door, down the steps, across the street to
q buggy and drove off.
HE was man of medium height, with
light sandy moustache. I think he
got about $4,000 partly in Rold.'
All reports Of the robbery agree up to
this point, but as to the robbers method
OF escape all is conjecture. Some say he
swan the river-but this seems unlikely,
as he had sam Of gold which would
have been too heavy load. Others say
be had 9 boat, rowed across the river,
and that carriage was waiting for him
on the other side. But this also lacks
confirmation, at present. It is certain
that he deserted the buggy in which he
drove away. It was livery rig belong
ing to Mr.. Larson and was recovered.
When found it had $45 in it.
A large number Of citizens from both
Moorhead and Fargo have gone in search
of tho robber, and there is considerable
excitement, but the man is still ct large

His Maiden Speech.

livering his maiden speech. He was
florid, rhetorical, scattering and tedi-
Gus. For two weary hours he talked
to the court and jury until everybody
felt like lynching him. When he
got through, his opponent, a grizzled
old professional, arose, looked sweetly
at the judge and said, "Your honor, l
will follow the example of my young
friend who has just finished and sub
nit the case without argument" He
then sat down, and the young lawyer
felt as though cold water was running
down his back.

are destroying the crops about Love-
lock. They are carried out in the
irrigating bitches and go to browsing
among the cereals and vegetables.
Captain Joe Marzen is being flooded
by the waste water of the farmers
above. He says they all claim that
they do not turn any water loose into
the swamps, but that all comes from
seepage which they cannot control
and for which they are not respon-
sibe. But he don't believe fish weigh
ing from ten to forty pounds can
travel by the carload from the river
to his ranch through the small crew
ices in the soil through which the
water seeps. Joe Rouse advises a
bounty on carp fins to meet the
emergency.

Are suggested Here.
If you would go down to fame as a
model housewife, let cooling drinks
abound in your house. 1t is useless
to tell people how much better they
would be if they were not always try
ing to luench their thirst. The only
thing to do is to give them some COM
paratively harmless beverages with
which to do it.
Ginger beer is made in this way:
Peel four lemons very thinly and
place the rind and the strained juice
of the fruit in an earthenware pan,
add two and half pounds of sugar,
two ounces OF freshly ground ginger
and half an ounce of cream of tartar.
Mix these ingredients then pour on
to them two and half gallons Of
boiling water and leave until cool,
when two tablespoonfuls of brewers
yeast spread on toast must be put
into the mixture; leave it till next
day, when the froth on the top must
be carefully skinned off, and the
ginger beer will then be ready to
bottle. The bottles used should be
stone ones if possible, and the corks
should be tied in. In two days the
ginger beer will be ready for use.
Orangeade: Use three oranges to
quart of water and six tablespoon
fuls OF sugar. Pare the yellow skin
from the fruit and slice and squeeze
the oranges over the sugar. Add a
little water and let the mixture
stand. Then pour in the rest of the
water; ice we'll and stir.
Roman punch: Mix three large
cups of strong, sweet lemonade with
a glass of champagne, glass of rum,
the juice of two oranges and the
beaten whites of two eggs into which
half pound of powdered sugar has
been stirred. Ice plentifully.
Sherry cobbler: In the bottom OF
wide mouthed pitcher place layer
of sliced pineapple, a slice of lemon
and a slice of orange. Sprinkle with
sugar and pounded ice; put in an
other layer of fruit and then another
of ice, until pineapple, a lemon and
an orange have been used. Cover
with ice and sugar and let it stand
for few minutes. Add two tumblers
