A Good Shot and an Honest Ma,

A Good Shot and ON Honest Man. =
The New Orleans Picayune tells q
good story Of Lieutenant John w. Heard
Of the Third United States cavalry and
Of how he got the best of dishonest
army contractor. Lieutenant Heard was
detailed as quartermaster at Fort Thorn
as, A. T. The contractors sent in their
bids to furnish supplies as usual, the
new quartermaster keeping sharp eye
on them all. He had, as he supposed,
all the contracts in his possession. But
one day he discovered that certain pa
pers from one of tho contractors were
missing. The contractor had taken them
back. He went to the mans Office and
asked for them. The contractor declined
TO hand them over. At the same time he
remarked, with smile that was child.
like and bland. that the new quarter
master would be amply taken care of.
Lieutenant Heard drew his pistol and
remarked back to the contractor, "Give
me those papers The contractor did
not then hesitate. Lieutenant Heard
found that the original figures had been
altered so as to cheat the government
out of several Thousand dollars. The Pc
ouliar mistakes were rectified at once
under the inspiration Of Lieutenant
Heard's revolver. Then he departed. A
little while after that four men attempt
ed to kill Heard. Again he whipped out
the convenient pistol, and this time he
fred. One Of the attacking party was
killed, and the rest ran away. The dead
man was nephew of the dishonest con:
tractor. .

It is unique ballot law, the new one
under which the people of Belgium late
y voted for the first time. Voting is
compulsory, and voters are divided into
three classes. It made many of the citi.
zens, very angry when they found they
had to vote whether they wanted to or
not The lowest class of the three voters,
those who have only one vote apiece,
consists Of all men rs years old and over
who have lived in one election district
year or more. The second class is CON-
posed Of persons who have two votes
apiece, and to this belong married
men who pay personal taxes to the
amount of 81. The third class Of
voters have three ballots each. To this
class belong the educated peoplo and
large property owners. All the priests
in Belgium come under the head of the
third class, and there are 10000 of
them. Consequently the priests of Bel.
GUM muster voting force of 10000.
At the late election the Clerical party
made large gains. Naturally it would
do SO. Somehow this law has a queer
look to the independent American voter.

England has recognized the civiliza-
ton of Japan to the extent of doing
away with the consular courts. Under
treaty regulations heretofore English
men guilty of crimes have been turned
over to the British consul in the district
where the crime was committed to be
tried according to English laws. This
was the case even when the crime was
committed against Japanese subjects on
their own ground. Henceforth, under
the new treaty, English criminals will
be tried according to japanese law in
Japanese courts. This is the usage
among civilized sister Lations, and ia.
pan is certainly entitled to the benefit
Of it.

The Railroad and Telegraph Lines,

The Railroad and Telegraph Lines.
In letter received from Edward E.
Lewis this week he Informs us that the
Grand Marais s. North Shore Railroad
Company, of which mention was made in
TIE HERALD short time ago, has been
organized with capital of 100000. The
officers Of the company are: Edward E.
Lewis president; Ole E. Erickson, vice
president: o. J. johnson, secretary: G.
Swan Anderson, treasurer; Charles E..
Bateman, general manager. Mr.. Lewis
assures us that both this and the tele-
graph line, of which We made mention
couple OF weeks ago, will be pushed right
through without delay. All the people
have to do is to show the proper spirit
in encouraging the construction Of these
lines and they will go through all right.
We bespeak for Mr.. Lewis and his
company the hearty cooperation of the
citizens of Cook in their efforts to open
mp this rich and beautiful country.
Mr.. Lewis, the, prime mover in this
enterprise, mas, Tor the past three years,
endured the hardships and privations
incidental to pioneer life ia Cook county,
and his answering faith in It's future
is born of a knowledge Of it's resources
gaipeo by hard work and experience.
During his three years stay here Mr..
Lewis has devoted his entire atten ton
TO sscertaining the mineral wealth of
Cook county, and he knows whereof he
speaks when he says that Cook county
is by far the richest mineral field in Min
nesota. $50
If their terms are Is reasonable
which they undoubtedly are the people
OF Cook couny should, by all means,
stand by Mr.Lewis, company in prefer
ence to others who are now ready to step
IN and reap the benefit Of bis labors.
The North Shore Telegraph Company.
of which Mt. Lewis is general manager,
has issued the following circular letter
which explains itself:

The Anderson bill, providing for the
taxation of all unused railroad lands, of
which there are many thousands of acres
IN the northern part Of tho state, which
passed the house some time ago by a
very large vote, passed the senate last
week without vote to spare. The bill
has been before the legislature in two
previous sessions, each time being killed
in the senate. There are nearly 1000
acres of unused railroad lands in Cook
county. By the Anderson bill: these
lands are made subj Jet to taxation and
will be a source of considerable, revenue
to Cook county, It 1s said that the Fl ht
over the bill is not yet oyer, however, as
the railroad companies propose to test
the bill before the supreme court before
the matter IS submitted to vote of the
people. The test will be made on the
question as to whether Lieut.. Cover
nor Day had right to vote on the bill.
The companies will contend that he had
not.

DECORATING THE TOWN.
Arrange Flags and Bunting So That Block,
Will Harmonize.

<AAAeAA6o
Will Harmonize.
The custom Of town decoration tor
festive occasions is we'll nigh universal,
and it adds in no small degree to the
success of the event. Flags of all rs
tions and bunting of all colors graceful
~ draped in festoons and various designs
certainly give holiday appearance to
the most staid and quiet town, and this
is as it should be and is so intended.
Without the floating flags, waving
banners and gay pennants and stream
ers Frightening and clarifying the
streets the holiday spirit does not seem
to have been fully realized. Therefore
in preparing to celebrate any event it
is essential to make arrangements to
prop.:;y dress the town for the occasion.
In mis- as in all other matters it is
important to get the best results from
the material to be used. To accomplish
this competent committee should have
the matter in charge, and the jewellers
in the streets to be decorated should
conform as nearly as possible to the in
structions and suggestions Of the COM
vidual follows the dictates of his own
sweet will, and the general result 8
often far from pleasing and very far
from what might have been done had
some system prevailed.
- An excellent plan to pursue and one
which has produced some really beauti-
full effects in the large cities is that Of
decorating each block SO that it shall
har1nonize il arrangement Of color and
design, SO that instead Of meaning
less conglomeration OF colors pleasing
and harmonious picture is evolved.
Each block is susceptible Of different
treatment, and under the supervision Of
a committee that has an eye for color
effects some really charming results can
be obtained and with no greater outlay
in money and not much more in time
than in the ordinary haphazard way OF
each one to his own liking.

The city dude who is accustomed in
his mind to take agriculturists for
slouches would have been very much
undeceived If he could have seen the
men assembled at the farmers congress
In Parkersburg. IVA. The fine, strong,
rosy men, with large brains and good
clothes, there assembled would have
put him to shame with bis silly notions
of urban superiority. The farmers say
in their addresses at the congress that
they want a number of things. Among
these are good roads, free mail delivery,
telephones from house TO house, and,
most Of all, improved profits for their
farms These latter they intend to Sc
cure or know the reason why, and the
people will applaud. Among the poll
ticians, the merchants, manufacturers
and bankers the farmers were being
slowly ground to powder. They say now
that the tariff question may settle itself.
one way or the other. but whichever
way it jumps they demand for their
products the protection that other peo-
ple's products get. be thesane more or
less or none at all. They intend to
have hereafter q fuller, freer, happier
life for the rural inhabitant, with Gull,
ture and leisure Again all che people
say amen. The rush from tho farm to
the CITY must cease soon and the tide
start the other way. Il is inevitable

are now supplying for themselves The

OUR ROADS.

What is the reason that we have
no road overseer between Stafford
and Pima? The only answer that
can possibly be made is that mud
holes are preferable to 'good dry
roads. Some months ago the road
master over this district resigned
and since that time our roads have
been in a horrible condition.
Every time it rains the bitches
along the upper side of the road
are allowed to break and the water
runs in until there is no more
water to run, thus forming mud
holes which renders travel almost
impossible for weeks at q time. 1t
is the duty of the Board of Super
visors to remedy this evil, but they
do not seem disposed to take any
action In the matter, as it was re-
commended in the final report of
the last grand jury that these
vacancies be filled, but so far no
have been made.
We ask the Board to attend to this
matter Immediately and thus re-
lieve suffering public. This
valley is the richest and most pro-
ductive one IN Arizona, and still
our roads are abomnible. We be-
lieve in economizlng in county
government as much as possible,
but to fail to appoint overseers to
keep the roads in proper condition
when their services are absolutely
necessary seems to be economlzing
with vengence.
