1ntere.tlnx Washing.

An amusing Httle story is told in con-
nection with a French Journalist, who
in his early. days as reporter. had a
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook Of his order, and hit upon q
method Of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them, by the aid Of tiny pencil.
he took down his notes and Impressions
in all sorts Of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar ornamentations.
but as time went on she learned to de.
cipher many Of them, and gathered the
news Of the week from her patron'A
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night, when she took home the
washing, the journalist CHANGED to be
coming out Of his room as she entered.
"Ah, monsieur" she said, dropping g
courtesy, ''your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less politica.
news than the week before. Is it not SOP"

the quashing of the Montague in

1t practically knocks out the
Argus libel suit, and seeing that
the Stutsman county Jail had been
prepared for his reception and
that he had figured on being the
guest of Stutsman county for a
brief season. the blow is doubly
hard. Mr.. Irons has the sym
pathy of the brethren of the quill

to the many nice notices they
would give him while he was

very sick in some savage place in the

thought, 'sto let these childish white

A day or two We kept him quiet and
got him much better. Then he said he
must 60. He had had his back broken
in his own island, he said. It had come
broken again, and he must go away to a
native house and have it mended. "Con-
found your back, " said we. "Lie down
in your bed. I" At last one day his fever
was quite gone, and he could give his
mind to the broken back entirely. He
lay in the hall. was in the room
alone. All morning and noon I heard
him roaring like bull calf, SO that the
floor shook with it. 1t was plainly hum

a bad child crying, and about 2 of the
afternoon we were worn out and told him
he might go. Of he set. Hewas in some
kind of white wrapping, with great
white turban on his head, as pale as

But. oh, he was glad boy to get away
from these foolish, savage. childish
white people and get his broken back
put right by somebody with some sense.
He nearly died that night, and little
wonder, but he has now got better
again, and long may it last!
All the others were quite good, trust
ed us wholly, and staid to be cured
where they were. But then he was quite
right if you look at it from his point Of
view, for, though we may be very olev-
er, we do not set up to cure broken backs.

people can do nothing at all but bury
him. And was he not wise, since that
was his complaint, to go to folks who

Judge Templeton has granted
the motion quashing the accusa-
tion and Indictment against Trus-
tee Alexander Montague for the
crime of being interested in the
asylum contract. Juror Peter
Albright is a citizen of Russiaand
unable to speak English, render
ing the grand jury panel illegal.
Although the quashing of the in
dictment is granted on account
of the juryman not being qualified
to sit as a juror, there is notmuch
doubt in the minds of most peo-
pie that If the case had come to
trial it would have resulted in an
acquittal. The courts seem to be
deciding against '.gang" rule
right along. Now if the people
of Jamestown will administer
another good "drubbing" to the
gang next week by defeating
Fuller and electing Eager for
mayor, they will do well. The
present mayor of jamestown is a
law abiding citizen, good busi-
ness man, and has given that city
an economical administration.
OF course it is none of our affairs
who the Jamestown people elect.
only that we would like to see
law and order rule as against
.:bossism.
