the amusement of the boy.
The artist in the summer scene has
pictured three children rowing clown a

Tbs Coming Question.

"The principle issue in the next North
Dakota legislature said Senator Elect
Frank Vets. of Grand Forks. Mt the Mer-
chants yesterday. will be the re submiss-
ion measure. It is my candid opinion
that the bill providing for resubmission
That the people desire measure passed
there is no question. and, whatever any
one may say. that was the real issue in the
late legislative campaign. OF cource
refer to districts where the candidates
were opposed in their views on this mat
ter. Quite generally, though, 1 believe
that the Legislative candidates were of the
one opinlen: that we have had enough of
the kind of prohibition that the state has
been handicapped with for several years.
''That the law has been an absolute and
unqualified failure so far as preventing
the sale of liquor was concerned everyone
who knows anything about the matter will
admit, And while there has really been
no prohibition, there has beeu an enor-
m Gus amount OF money lost to the state.
The cities along the Minnesota line have
felt the effect of the law the worst and have
been the most active in trying to have it
repealed, And in the next session the
lobby from East Gran9 Forks and Moor
head will be looked after in such man
ner that Dan Sullivan and his cohorts will
have no chance to interfere with the pass
age of the bill, Hitherto resubmission
has been blocked by the operation OF a
foreign lobby, but it will not be this year.
Even at the best it will take three years to
take the law off the statute books. The
bill will have to pass to successive Legis-
latures and then go before the people in u
special election, The popular vote will be
in favor of tina amendment four to one."

novel shipment went eastwardlv re-
Gently 70 the geological gardens at Wash
ington, d. c.. from the National Park. It
consisted OF ten live beavers. The ami
mails were shipped in three tanks in an
ordinary box car: They were accom-
panied by an attendant, who had bed in
the car bv his charges. The tanks of
water in which the beavers were carried a
supply of wood consisting of box elder
and poplar twigs and hay nearly illed tho
car. The shipment attracted considerable
attention. This is liable to interfere with
beaver farming iii Mclean county. The
government is n hard competitor to do

We are all satisfied with the results of

county candidates was not elected but
results show that it was not on account of
his politics, and we consider the election
a victory ror the Republican party.
We notice copy of the sherifr's letter

Maxey proceeded at once to act upon
the suggestion. The physician, after

The occupants of the floor below had
heard nothing and seen nothing, but
Maxey persisted with the determination
of despair. He found the janitor at the

something very serious the matter. Did
you see anybody about the hall after my

"No, sir"
"You are surs?'

the furnaces, and staid below there

That's the fact of it, sir. I'd have re.
membered it if I had. I don't forget

there was friend Of yours here this
morning asking after you, and I could re-
peat the whole circumstances.
Repeat them, please" said Maxey
quickly.
"The man came here to the foot Of the
stairs. It's too much trouble to go up

is he looking?' was his next question.
