ago the blind pig operated by julius
Cresein in Iarimore was closed by an
injunction signed by Judge Fisk. of
the district court, and Il number of
packages of beer, whisky and cham
payne were seized by the officers. The
building was subsequently broken into
by unknown parties. some of the
liquor was stolen and the remainder
destroyed. The building was again
broken into on Tuesday and CrcSein
began selling goods. A second time he
was oustcd, but returned and fOrcibly
elected Deputy Sheriff Spaulding. who
was in charge, and continued doing
business. Mr.. S%paulding sem to Grand
Forks for instructions, and was in
structed by States Attorney Hamil-

the building in spite of any opposition.
Crcscin finally yielded and came here
last night, crossing to the Minnesota
side, where he still is. Judge Fisk is
absent, but on his return a warrant
will probably be issued for Crcsein's
arrest for contempt of court.

Before the tin-plate industry was
established in the United States by the
Mckinley tariff, there were quite a
number of Americans in Liverpool who
acted as agents for American import
ers of Welsh tin plate. Liverpool being
the chief port of export. Since we
have been making our own tin plate,
all Of these agents have returned home
with the exception of one who is ex-
pected back this month to take charge
OF a tin-plate factory in Pennsylvania.
This will practically conclude the
American trade in foreign tin plate and
practically complete the acquisition of
the American market by the Ameri-
can tin-plate industry which was es-
tablished under the Mckinley protect
i've tariff of 1890.

Every Teacher or Scholar

in the public schools of the United States, Is
years of age and over, should have a copy OF
the Northern Pacific's new and beautifully
illustrated book, Wonderland 97. 1t is
especially adapted for use in the public
schools in the study of geography aud his
tory, and as an aid in the study of the North
west and its varied and vast resources.
The book has large amount of valuable
data, but is not by any means compendium
of dry statistics.
The beautiful Lake Park Region of Mimi;
the Red River Valley of the North, the re-
markable wheat land of the country, and
Pyramid Park, where hundreds of thousands
of ca tile are raised, are described.
Yellowstone Park and it's wonderful cam
yons and lakes, waterfalls sand geysers has d
long chapter given to it.
A chapter on several of the richest mining
districts of the Northwest, telling how they
were discovered and developed will be an
interesting one to everybody. Some of these
discoveries were made in very funny ways.
Four great snow mountains, ord volcanoes,
on the North Pacific Coast have chapter
devoted to them which gives much of their
history.
A new mountain range, one almost IN
known, in the Northwest corner of the
United States, is brought to the readers at
tention. 1t is a glorious region, with deep,
beautiful lakes, full of new varieties of trout,
made famous by Rear Admiral of the T..
s. Navy.
Alaska also has place in its p ges.
Tn booktct has handsome cover and is
beautifully and profusely illustrated.
Any teacher or scholar can have a copy by
sending six cents in postage stamps to Ch;s
S. Fee, General Passenger Agent, St. Paul
Mimi.
Here is an opportunity which should not
be lost to obtain something of interest and
valne, almost for nothing. and our schools
should reap the benefit of it.

"Bob" LaFollette Of Madison, has
been secured to address the Hudson
Street Fair" on the evening OF Sept
30. This will afford splendid OPP
portunity to hear the one leading
republican in the state who is at
present devoting his energies and
splendid abilities to laying bare the
methods of the present republican
machine in Wisconsin. LaFollette
handles his the ne without gloves.
He not only poi its out the evils Of
the present Caucus system, by which
capital and corporations are enabled
to stifie the popular voice, and by a
liberal use of Doodle and passes Sc
cure the defeat of desirable measures
and the passage of bad ones, but he
goesinto the arena as a practical re-
former and suggests a remedy. His
remedy is, as might be expected,
radical and far-reaching. 1t goes to
the very bottom Of the evil. He pro-
poses to delegate to the people the
right to nominate the candidates,
and endorses the Lewis bill which was
introduced in the late legislature, but
with many other good measures in
that body, consigned to oblivion.
The TIMES will make further allusion
to this subject as the time for the
Fair approaches.

w. R. Sanford of 3O5 Wabasha
Street, st. Paul, closed a series of
sermons, or rather lectures, on the
street corner of this city Saturday
evening on the second coming Of
Christ. He represented no creed or
church but preached the gospel as
they used to preach it in the days OF
the apostles. He receives no pay,
takes no collection, but depends on
the Lord wholly for his support. He
is preaching as commanded by the
Lord as found in Ezekiel 3-1S. He
claims that the time of the Gentiles
is at hand and that the retaining of
Palestine by the Jews fulfills all the
prophecies of the bible. He claims to
preach the bible for the saving OF
man as the apostles preached it and
not for the propagation of creeds
and sects. He left for Ellsworth yes
terday where he will preach this week.
OF course his doctrine was not &C.
ceptable to some, but as one man Ia
non-church member) expressed it,
'"The world is made better by just
such men as he."
