Farmers should not forget that
half the fine imposed on hunters
for killing quail goes to the i'm
formant. It should also be borne
in mind that it is not necessary to
see the actual shooting to make it
a good case, but the mere fact of
having the birds in ones posses
sion is prima facie evidence of law
breaking.

The President in Gold.
Some man suffering from cur
ious form of imbecility has con-
ceiyed the Napoleonic plan of
making a life size statue of Presi-
dent Mckinley in solid gold and
sending the same to the Paris ex-
position, to be part of the Ameri-
can exhibit thereat.
The statue, it is estimated, will
cost for metal alone $1,O5O.OOO.
and the story is that the cost win
be betrayed by some enthusiastic
Chicago millionaires. 1t ought to
be bought and exhibited every
where by the Democratic oppo-
nents of Mckinley and McKin-
leyism.
OF course Democracy is nova
days synonymous with political
poverty. The party has few mil
lionaires, and fewer trusts and
great corporations ready to
contribute to its aid. But if the
leader of the Republican party
wants his efHgy in gold taken to
Europe for exhibition in the CAPT
tai of pleasure, Democrats can well
afford to chip in and bear the ex-
pense-particularly as when the
statue is melted down in 1900 the
gold will be worth just as much as
before.
Seriously, however, President
Mckinley ought to pray =. delivery
from his fool friends. The parallel
between an American President
and the golden calf is not happy
one.
No political crime ever commit
ted in West Virginia equals in vi
ciousness and enormity the work
of the responsible officials of the
last Republican Legislature in
printing in the Acts law that
never passed.
The effect of the law as it is
printed in the Acts is to increase
the republican membership in the
legislature by four or six, as the
case may be. And unless the ques-
ton is raised and determined by
the courts before the next election
takes place men will be voted for
who have no right to be candidates,
and men will be elected who can
not legally serve.
The perpetrators of this crime
against the rights of the people
and against the integrity of the
State are not known, though the
responsibility for it can be easily
located, but whoever they are, they
should be smoked out.-Parkers-

The principal religious denomin-

one million votes in the Mckinley
States. This indicates plainly that
the people are not blind to the fact
that they suffered too deeply and
lost too much by the depreciation

their business by having a gold
standard, which England in her
greed and avarice has created and

a New Danger.

Gum chewing, which began at
some of the female colleges and
finally took hold on the vast army
of dyspeptics, is now numbered
among the new dangers to human
life. Pepsin, with an india rubber
body is its best form, but it is not
just what people ordinarily think
it is, and many of the doctors are
up in arms against the use of it.
The constant saliyary dribble
occasioned by gum chewing pre-
vents, by depletion of the glandu-
lar supply, that steady flow of sa-
Iva which should occur at meal
time The practice then is certain
ly provocative of indigestion and
consequent i'll health. When ta-
ken into the stomach chewing gum
is positively indigestible and dan
gerous to life. Anumber of child
rem recently died because of having
swallowed some sweet, meaty prep
aration of gum. One might as
well eat a pair of india rubber
shoes with sugar and cream and
expect them to digest in the
stomach without the aid of CON
centrated lye.

who loved to smoke good ciger
and an insurance company The
former bought 1900 extra fine
cigars and had them insured for
their full value, smoked them up
then demanded his insurance,
claiming they had been destroyed
by fire. The case was taken to
court and the judge decided in
favor of the young man. The in
surance company then had the
young man arrested for setting fire
to his own property and the same
judge ordered that he pay fine

School Officers.

That the school election is
one of the most, if not the most
important issue that comes be-
fore the people, goes without
question. Political and per-
sonal strifes should not be al
lowed to creep in, but only cit
liens, who are most honorable
and capable to fill these very
important offices, should be
chosen.
The annual school election
takes place Saturday, July II.
Messrs. S. T. Harrison, H. O..
Milne and DR.. Salter have been
named, and from present indi-
cations will be the successful
candidates. These men are

At the last meeting Of the
Building Trades Council, the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
H. Gazette, president; ]. L.
Hasely; vice-president, E. F.
Heller, recording secretary; Chas.
Ellison, financial secretary; Jas.
F. Owens, treasurer. The re-
naming officers 10 be elected
were left over until the next reg
ular meeting, July 21. The
question of using Duluth granite
for the city reservoir came up,
and considerable discussion was
INDUCED in. It was decided
that Duluth granite should be
used, and a communication to-
that effect was ordered to be
sent the city council. This will
not only give Duluth labor en-
ployment, but will benefit all
branches of trade and industry
in the city.
A call was read which has
been issued to all Building
Trades Councils. for a conven-
ton to be held at St. Louis,
October 4, 1897, for the purpose
of formulating a national build
ing trades council. Each build
ing trades council is entitled to
one delegate per council and one:
delegate for each union affiliated.
This move was considered a
good one by the Duluth coun-
Gil. The meeting was we'll at
tended, and was interesting
from start to finish.
