horses are very particular who handles

peculiarities and adaptation Of men ant
horses to each other should be consid

An Attempt to solve the Great Mystery


Of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage

accept the theory OF hereditary knowl-

stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap-
even when the divisions OF land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
of birds agrees with the fact that they
ny at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds. and hat wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights strag-
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky 10 overcast. when the night 10
dark. but especially when q fine rain 10
falling. multitudss Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose OF keeping near
each other: and often great numbers of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. 20. 1882. from 10 O'Clock ct
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snownakes
against the lighthouse OF Heligoiand.
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot

nights no stars appear: then II Is that
the straying bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to

REsUBM1ssIoN

Dawson Standard Resubmission seems
| to be q leading subject before the legisla.
ture which has just convened at Bismarck.
It il moreover subject which interests
every citizen Of N. D., wheather he favors
resubmission or continuance of the pro
hibition Law as at present in force. When
the prohibitory clause was incorporated
into the constitution Of North Doto.o
many people believed thatthe result would
be beneaclal-they thought that crime
would decrease and that drunkenness and
its attendant evils would be eliminated or
at least be greatly diminished. What has
been the result? Everyone who does not
purposely shut his eyes to what are plain
facts, knows that drunkenness has, it any.
thing increased since the prohibition Jaw
went into effect, and crime never flourish
ec in North Dakota as it does at present,
--whsre. there was one, licensed saloon,
controlled more or less by the law, there
are now from three to five blind pigs
running in open violation ct the law, from
which the state derives no benefit. Our
prohibition friends will no doubt say 'this
would not be the case if the law was en-
forced" That may be true, but We now
have to deal with condition and LOT a
theory. We KNOW that for some reason
or another prohibition in North Dakota
has not been a success, that crime has in
creased, and that drunkenness has certainly
not diminished. Everyone should be in
favor of law which would restrict or
curteil the liquor traffic, and that a return
to the old high licence system would be an
improvement on the present state of
things and bene6t to the state. both
financially and morally, must be admitted
by all, who see things as they are aud not
as they would have them.

FISH CAR HERE.
Contains Part of the United States Exhibit to Be Displayed in At-
 lanta.

Louisville and Nashville southbound passenger train No. 3, which arrived one and a half hours late yesterday after noon, had attached to it oar No. 3 of the United States fish commission. The car was cut off here and will be taken to At lanta this morning.
 An Age-Herald reporter boarded the car at the union depot and met MT. R. s. Johnson, who is in charge of the car. He in turn introduced the reporter to Messrs. F. C. James and James Cody, his assistants, who very kindly showed him through the car. The car is en route to Atlanta with part of the fisheries exhibit at the Cotton States and Inter national exposition.
 In the car which is handsomely fur nished and rigged up for fish transporta, ton, were a number of tanks, contain ing white perch, black bass crappies, gars and other fresh water fish. All of them are beauties, and when they reach Atlanta will be transferred to glass cases for exhibition.
 The car has a New York steam pump and boiler rigged up in one room, the pump being used to keep the water filled with oxygen.
 The reporter was informed that while en route the fish are never fed, but on reaching their destination and while on exhibit they are given nothing but beef liver. Other cars will go to Atlanta later.
