Grand Forks, June 24.-William
King, colored man who worked at the
variety theater in East Grand Forks up
to few weeks ago. was arrested in that
city yesterday afternoon on the charge
Of numbering Joseph Edwards at Thief
River Falls. 1t appears that Edwards,
Williams and some other congenial
spirits went from Thief River Falls
across the river into the Indian reserva-
tion on Friday night to attend dance
and have a general good time. Dancing
was INDUCED in and during the evening
Edwards was shot in the right knee.
He had prompt medical attendance, and
it was thought that the wound was not
dangerous until last night when Ed
wards died. King came to East Grand
Forks yesterday and after the receipt
of telegram from Thief River Falls
yesterday afternoon Chief Hurst arrest
ed him on the charge of murder. He
was not greatly surprised, but stated
that Edwards shot himself accidentally.

New York, June 23.-Reports which
the Journal has collected from every
section of the country shows that there
is now vast army of tramps spread
over the United States. The total num-
Der of tramps at present in the United
States, according to the most conserva-
tive estimates, is fixed at 336z5O. OF
these, by far the greater proportion are
men honestly looking for work. The
greater number seem to center about
Illinois.

Republican Papers Make Another Discovery.

Republican Papers Make Another Discovery,
Republican papers have from time to
time been discovering" terrible blum
ders in the work Of the last Legislature
They have also charged that radical and
impractical legislation was enacted. The
latest discovery" is that the revised
fee and salary law contains a provision
which provides that in criminal actions
where 1t Is found that reasonable cause
for filing the complaint did not exist
and where any person charged with an
Otfense less than felony is discharged
for want OF sufficient proof, the cost shall
be taxed to the prosecuting witness.
This, these all-wise Republican editors
say, will prove an effectual bar to pros
ecutions for minor Offenses, because rep
utable citizens will not take the chances
Of having to pay the costs, and the law
less class will be enabled to commit all
kinds Of minor offenses without mOles-
tatiOn. This section Is referred to as
the death knell of prohibition enforce
ment and generally in the interest of
law violatOrs. This shOrt-sighted outfit
of incompetent editors should post up on
the record Of their own party. AS mat
ter CT fact, this section is an exact re-
production, even in the matter Of pune
tuatiOn, of the section inserted in a sim
liar bill by the Legislature of 1889, which
was composed Of 100 Republicans and an
opposition numbering but five. If any
laws have been nulliied by the opera
tiUns of this section of law In the past
eight years information to that effect has
not reached the Advocate office.

and other similar and kindred policies
prevailed, till that greatest Of British
statesmen and friend Of America, Lord
Chatham, was led to declare that Amer
leans will soon discover that after all
their boast Of freedom and equality, they
have only secured the shadow, and that
by the adoption of such agencies of in
equality and instrumentalities of wealth
accumulation, all their hopes of equality
Of condition and universal happiness
will be blasted and they will arrive at
the same goal as the peoples that have
gone before them and are to-day suffer-
ing from the same causes, etc. And all

AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
The advocate., 1897-09-29

OF the court, placed it upon three dis
tinct propositions:
FiTst-That there was no power vested
in the Board Of Education Of the city
Of Wichita until the enactment OF the
school text book law of 1897, to adopt or
establish, or contract for any series OF
books to be used in the public schools.
That until this case was brought and
presented, not having examined the sub
ject, he supposed there was such author
ity, but he was now satisfied that any
attempt on the part of the school board
to make a contract for any particular
kind of books, or to control the schools
in the use Of any particular kind of
books, was absolutely null and void, as
evidently no such power existed under
the law.
Second-That If such power had ex-
listed, that no contract was really made
or entered into by the Board Of Educa-
ton; that the sO-called contracts set up
in the defendants answer were not con-
tracts, bound no one, and were absO-
lutely without force or effect; that they
were not signed by any parties to be
bound; and, Furthermore, that If they
were real actual contracts, creating OBJ
legations upon the parties thereto, that
they were attempted to be made on the
18th day Of March, just the day before
the school text book law took effect, and
according to their terms, whatever the
school board was required to do, it was
required to do some time thereafter in
the adoption and selection Of certain
books, which, of course, it could not do
after the new law took effect; as by it's
terms, it prohibited the use or attempt to
use, or permitting to use on the part
of the board, any other books than those
adopted by the State.
Third-That the old board which at
tempted to make these contracts, ceased
to have legal existence upon the organ
ization Of the new board on the first
Monday in August, and that the old
board could not tie the hands of the
new board by making any contracts to
extend beyond the period Of It's own eX-
istence.
In this connection, the Judge said if
a board could make a contract Of this
kind, to bind its successor, it could con-
tract the books to be used or the fuel
to be used for ten, or even a hundred
years in advance, and that the policy
Of the law evidently was to prevent such
contracts.
The court granted a peremptory writ
Of mandamus, commanding the Board
Of Education Of the city Of Wichita to
proceed forthwith under the school text
book law Of 1897, and put into the
schools of the city of Wichita the text
books adopted by the State School Text
Book Commission under said law.

4 St. Louis Man Turns Everything TO
Gold.

St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 17.--All the
known laws Of chemistry arc to be
overturned and the dreams Of all
chemists arc to become practically
golden realities, according to Benja-
min Brazellc, young inventor, who
is we'll known in scientific circles
throughout the country.
Mr.. BraZclle has gone further in
his experiments than the mere trans
mutating Of metals and had made
discoveries by actual experiment
which, he says, ovcrturn the entire
science Of chemistry, metallurgy,
electricity, ard laws Of gravitation.
He has been able to prove his
theories to such an extent that a
company has been formed to make
practical use OF his wonderful and
startling discoveries. The company
has already started its plant at Fair
Lawn, in st. Louis county. 1t Will
soon be completed and ready to turn
out aluminium, calcium, gold. silver,
iron and many other metals not now
to science, all manufactured from
common clay.
by actual test Mr.. Brazc]lc has
changed silver into gold and gold
into silver. The transmutation he
considers the most insignificant part
Of the discoveries he has madc-a
mere nothing in comparison with
the feat of changing clay into gold,
silver, iron, calcium, aluminium, g]a-
cium and fifteen other metals now
not known to science and whose quail
tiles have not yet been determined
: by the diScoycrer.
: In addition to his ability to con
, vert into any other metal, Mr.. Bra
zellc advances the theory that metals
, are endowed with life and grow likt
9 any plant when placed under tho
S proper conditions. The theory i
A not lacking demonstration, and ha
G been proven to the satisfaction O
of the scientisty and his financia
c hackers beyond a doubt.
: From that he deduccs that al
c things in the universe arc cndoWe
G with life and that rock, mineral an
j. earth, all apparently inanimate, ar
I full Of life. energy and growth, an

InGcrsoll's Teachings.

!: New York, Feb 1S.-Robert J.
Wilson, a clerk in charge of Robt.
Ingcrso]l's Office, attempted to com
nit suicide by swallowing prussic
acid this afternoon and was prevent
ed by Charles Wynne, mining OPP
orator from Spokane. Wilson had
domestic troubles and had been con-
tinually talking about suicide. In
gcrsoll said Of Wilson'S attempts:
"It was a silly thing for him to do.
1t is Il wonder to me though, looking
at all the misery there is, more per-
sons do not kin themselves" Since
Ingersoll aroused a storm Of criticism
by insisting that suicide was no
sin and in many cases desirable and
worthy, two Of his clerks and two OF
his relatives have taken their own
lives. The latest was Miss Hattie
Cooper, q third cousin OF Ingcrsol],
and who killed her mother in San
Francisco.
