CAUGHT.
The Larimore Murderer Under
Arrest.

Towner, May 10. This morning c..
w. Thruen arrived here with pris-
oner on horse back, who was quickly
and quietly lodged in the city lookup.
1t was soon learned that the prisoner
was August Normand. 'rhruen is an
old timer in the state and learned on
Sunday that man answering the des-
cription of Normand was south of
town some seven miles. This infor-
nation was given by Senator Hans
com. Thrueu mounted \ horse and
started south. 1t seems that he had
known Normand for the past thirteen
years. Thruen stopped with one Hans
Brooten over night and went to a
sheep camp near there at 4 O'Clock
this morning. Normand came to the
camp for breakfast about 6 O'Clock
and while he was eating Thruen
secured a gun and ordered him to
hold up his hands. An assistant
from the outside came to hand and the
prisoner was tied to a horse and
brought to Towner where he was de.
livered to the deputy sheriff and the
Grand Forks authorities were notified.

A Crime of 'o7.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1O.-The
Peruvian government, after May 10,
will cease the coinage of silver and
will not permit the Importation of any
silver coin. Director Preston, of the
United States mint, was officially ad-
vised to this effect today. The degree
provides that silver coinage shall be
suspended, and that the mint shall
cease to receive silver bullion. Silver
soles the Peruvian dollar, worth
about SO cents American money!, con-
verted into bullion for export, shall
not be brought back except as bullion.
All importations of any silver coin,
after May 10 shall be made exclusive
ly at the port of Callao and shall be
delivered to the mint by the customs
officer, to be melted into bars and
then returned to their owners. Each
traveller entering Peru shall not be al
lowed to bring more than SO soles in
Peruvian money. Silver coin sent
from place to place in Peru shall be
accompanied by invoice, showing that
it has not been imported and that the
custom house has authorized its
transportation.
It is said that these new regulations
are made to check, if possible, the
rapid depreciation of Peruvian silver
currency.

Captain Alfred T. Mahan writes IN
account Of Nelson In the Battle Of
Copenhagen" for The Century. Captain
4ahan quotes the following from the
account Of the engagement written by
Colonel Stewart Of the British forces:
"Lord Nelson was at this time, as he
had been during the whole action, walk
ing the starboard side Of the quarter
deck, sometimes much animated und at
others heroically fine in his observa-
tions. A shot through tho mainmast
knocked few splintcrs about us He
observed to me With asmile, 1t is warm
work, and this day may be the last to
any of us at q moment, and then, stop
ping short at the gangway, he used an
expression never to be erased from my
memory and said with emotion, But,
mark you, would not be elsewhere for
thousands. ." With this spirit may be
compared his rebuke some days after the
battle to a lieutenant, who during the
action had Eade a hopeless report about
the grounded ships, cat such moment
the delivery of anything like a despon,l-
ing opinion, unasked, was highly repre-
hensible and deserved much more cen
cure than Captain Foley gave you.''

RESERVE TO GO.
The Senate Punc1ures Growers
Order.

Washington, May THE senate
passed the sundry civil bill after
adopting Senator Pettigrew's amend-
ment suspending President Cleve-
lands proclamation of Feb. % last
for forest reserves in Wyoming, Utah,
Montana, Washington, Idaho and
South Dakota.
The presidents order was severely
criticised by senator's from the states
effected, including Messrs. Pettigrew,
Wilson and Garter. Mr.. Wilson
characterized Mr.. Cleveland's pro-
clamation as a "dastardly blunder. :"
Eight millions acres had been taken
out of his state SO that no man could
cut stick of timber without being
denounced as a thief. The people af-
fected by these orders we're not to be
rertrained, lie said, by scientific
gentlemen from Harvard College,"
They were going to have the timber.
which they needed. law or no law.
The amendment provides that sto
remove any doubt which may exist
pertaining to the authority of the
president thereunto, the president of
the United States is hereby authorized
and empowered to revoke, modify or
suspend any or all such executive or
ders and proclamations designating
forest reserves or any part thereof
from time to time as he shall deem
best for the public interests. Provided
that the executive orders and proclaana-
tions dated Feb. %, 1897, setting apart
and reserving certain lands in
Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Washing
ton, Idaho and South Dakota as
forest reservations, be and they are
hereby suspended, and the lands en-
braced therein restored to the public
domain the same as though said
orders and proclamations had not
been issued. Provided, further, that
the lands embraced in such reserva-
tions, not otherwise disposed of, shall,
when the surveys of such reservations
are completed, be the subject to such
order as the president may make in
reference to the same so as not to dis
turb the right of any actual settler or
claimant now residing upon any of the
lands embraced in said reservations. {"
The amendment further appropriates
$3.50, 1000 for surveying these forests
reserves, and establishes a general
plan for administering such reserves,
protection against fire, sale of dead
timber, etc.

Observation-Disclosures Fight.

In North Dakota the fight between
Senator Hansbrough and Representa-
tive johnson is over the postofice
patronage. Mr.. Hansbrough desires
to control the appointments of presi-
Dental postnasters in the state, and
Mr.. johnson says that the department
rule which limits the power of the sen.
ator to the leading city of the state
and to the home town of the senator is
a good rule to go by in North Dakota.
The postmaster general hopes a truce
will be patched up. Hansbrough says
he is willing to patch up on the basis
of participation on equal terms with
the representative in all postoffice
patronage, which includes fourth-class
Offices, the particular pie of the mem
ber. Both are still making recon-
mendations in presidential offices, and
the outcome of their recommendations
at Langdon, the test case, will be
watched with interest. Mr.. Hans
brough has recommended Editor
Percy Trubshaw for postmaster at
Cooperstown, which means. that the
senator intends proceeding right on
with appointments.
In regard to the fight against the
Hansbrough slate, reported in the
Fargo dispatches to the Pioneer Press,
Mr.. Hansbrough says that the opposi-
tion is made up of men who oppose
the programme for conducting the last
campaign which landed the state in
the Mckinley column, and that the
prospects are, if the contention goes
on, that it will be uphill work to elect
republican to succeed Senator
Roach. In the meanwhile the state is
securing no plums from the executive
orchard, and it cannot be learned that
Hansbrough and johnson have agreed
on any recommendation except that of
Maj. Edwards of Fargo for assistant
commissioner of Indian affairs.

KICK FROM MONTANA.
North Dako'a's Inspection Law.

The stock inspection law of North
Dakota has created q kick from the
stock shippers of Montana. Last week

City says train OF cattle was teld IN
ut Mandan and s'mulctea'' in n larps
sum for inspection fees and expenses
OF inspector. The Journal states that
TINS law seems to have been put
through with great deal of secrecy
ana that 1t was not generally known
10 the Montana stock shippers. One
OF the objects of the law is stated. bv
a North Dakota stoclslnan, to be for.
the purpose of getting some revenue.
from sheep shipments, as we'll as of
cattle and horses. The Northern
Pacific road, he States, allows Monta
ma sheep owners to pay short dis
t'nce rate i'll proportion to the through
freight rate. to North Dakota. turn
The sheep out on gra-,a ;i,.. ship them
ON again in the fall at the through
rate. AS no taxes were obtained from
these animals it was t.,u!,@i.: that An
Inspection would be the means t,f .s,,.
ting some revenue.
The railroad company is endeavop-
ing to make the enforcement of this
law as light as possible for Montana
shippers and has taken the matter up
with the state. 1t is said q circular OF
instructions will be prepared and sent
to all agents of the road, to inform
stock shippers of the laws of this state
In this matter. If any attelnpt is made
TO make the inspection n burden upon
shippers from Montana under the.
guise OF health regulations. certificates
from the Montanas veterinarians will
be obtained.

A Washington correspondent
to the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
says:
Representative johnson of
North Dakota returned today
after several days visit to rela-
tives in Webster, Mass. Mr..
Johnson who is member of the
house ways and means commit
tee, was much gratified at the
tariff being reported in the SEN
ate today, and said that although
he had not examined the bill as
amended by the senate very
closely as yet, he felt sure that
the measure would do all that it's
trainers intended it should do.
He said:
.'There has been much discus
sion in the newspapers and else
where of late that the tariff bill,
when it emanated from the SEN
ate finance committee, would not
raise sufficient revenue for the
running expenses of the govern
ment. It seems to me that the
Al cents additional revenue on
beer, which will yield about S10,-
100000, making in all 1923, 600, 000'
was a contingency that was not
considered by those who made
such direful predictions. I think
the bill is all right and I see no
reason to modify prediction made
some time ago that it will become
a law by July 1.

Premiums For Good Farming.

In view of the experiments being
made with the Campbell system of soil

way to know that the Campbell Pub
fishing Company of Sioux City, Ia.,
offer the following liberal cash premi-
ums for the largest yield of wheat,
oats and barley grown on the square
rods of ground, under the Campbell
method of soil culture, which consists
simply in the thoroughly tineing and
firming the soil at least eight inches
deep, then drilling or planting the
grain far enough apart to be cultivat-
ed during the growing season. They
will pay S20 cash for the largest yield
of wheat, $40 for the second largest,
SIS for the third largest, $3.50 for the
fourth, and 81 for the fifth. The same

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Many Of tho Books an Insult to tho In
tclliScnce Of Young People.

tclli:cnce Of Young People.
Edward w. Box has been making a
careful and comprehensive examination
Of Sunday school libraries, and in The
Ladies' Home Journal he confesses him
self disgusted with the literature thus
placed in the hands Of our boys and
girls. A less complete investigation,
Mr.. Box says, would not have made it
possible for him to believe that the H.
brat;es Of our Sunday schools were
stocked with such piles of rubbish
"wishy washy literature, - us }1a terms
1t. He quotes the titles and gives the
themes Of a number of books he obtained
from Sunday school libraries, and these
seem to completely warrant his ronclu-
sions. "Such books, /" he contends, "aro
an insult to the intelligence Of the
young people and have pernicious in
fuence. Instead Of being healthy books
they are decidedly unhealthy in tone
and teaching. Surely we are cultivating
a dangerous taste for reading in the
Young when we feed them OH such rub
bish.
Mr.. Box unhesitatingly lays part Of
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are Influenced by
a denominational spirit that narrows
their choice Of books. Then, again, it is
shown that the most mediocre sort Of
"talent" is employed to write these
books, and that beggarly prices-less
than $50 per bock-are paid. A share
of responsibility, Mr.. Box asserts, rests
upon the men who purchase Sunday
school libarries, who, as is most FIRE.
quently the case, are not qualified for
the task and whose object is to secure a
library as cheap as possible. Mr.. BOX
warmly urges that the selection Of Sun
day school books be left to women, who
"instinctively know and feel the kind
Of a book which boy or girl will read
and enjoy" He insists that women
should be given carte blanche to make
the selections SO far as the prescribed
amount of money will so. "a hundred
good books, 7 Mr.. Box concludes, ARE
far better than 500 books of Indifferent
interest, !" which are bought simply be-
cause they are cheap. "a Sunday school
library cannot be created in day, and
no encouragement should be felt if the
financial means of the church arc con-
tracted and necessitate the purchase of
only few books at a time. -
