referring to the purchase Of horses
for the cavalry service at that place
Wednesday, the Sioux Falls Press saws
the number offered was not large con.
siding the backward state Of the horse
market for several years. but presumes
this was owing TO law Of previous ad-
vertlslng AS to when the purchase Of
horses would begin. The method Of
purchase by the government was also a
revelation to the horse jockeys of the
Falls, says the Press:
Capt. Goodwin, who seems to be famil-
lar with the good and bad points Of a
cavalry animal, astonished many good
Judges OF horse flesh in the crowd by ac-
ceptin0 some and rejecting others.
Several were taken at $50 and others re.
fused at any price, decisions that a nun
Der OF local horse dealers thought ought
to have been reversed. Yet the most
remarkable features OF the market we're
exhibited by not q few of those Offering
horses for sale. In some instances they
declined to accept appraisements which
were double the real value OF the ami
mails under the ordinary demands OF the
market. This action on the part of
these owners finds an explanation in the
fact that quite a large proportional peo-
pie regard any horse they have as the
best and most valuable in the land
though it may be a worthless plug in
with the better grade OF
equines. They evidently measure their
attachment for their horses in dollars
and cents, when in reality their attach
ment is moi worth a sou, in estimating
the value OF the property. Yet this
peculiarly enters largely into the daily
OF citizens possessing a
degree of affection than business
sense.

At the temporary home OF the Children's

a pair of tiny little mites of humanity, twin
baby girls about two months old arrived.
Their wrists are just as large as an ordi-

very small scale. They were poor, half
starved little things and the matron was
afraid one of them would not live the first

of the state, and they were in striking con-

There are eight of the babies there now
besides a number of older boys and girls. Mrs.
Morey and Mrs. Babcock. the ladies in charge
are always glad to show them to any visitors,
ones They have very commodious build
ing and large. airy, pleasant nursery room.
but they are sorcly in need of more cribs to
accommodate the little ones.
The ladies think nobody could do a more
useful thing than to send around to the
home crib or a baby carriage No doubt
that there are many such now stored away
whose former occupants have outgrown them.
Little ones are constantly coming into the
charge of the society (ten more received last

The temporary home at 123 Union street

number that the st. Paul home has, and has
a similar need of cribs and baby carriages.
Those interested in the home would like

TO SETTLE IT FOR GOOD
THE GAME AND FISH COMMISSION
BRINGS 4 SUIT
American Express Company Is
Charged by the Wisconsin Conn
mission with Carrying Illegal
Shipments OF Game-The Case TO
BE Heard Today at She'll Lake,
Wis.-FuliertOna Witness.

A test case is being tried today in the
district court at She'll Lake, Wis,
against the American Express COM
pany for carrying illegal shipments Of
game.
The case has been brought by mutual
consent of the state commission and
the American Express company to de-
termne the responsibility of the COM
pany in accepting illegal shipments Of
game to points outside of the state.
A consignment of seventy-one phSas-
ants and two saddles of venison was
carried into this state from Wisconsin
by the American Express company d
short time ago and seized by the game
wardenS Of this state
The Wisconsin commission was noti-
fled of the seizure by Executive Agent
Fullerton. The Wisconsin commission
failed to locate the conSignOr of the
shipment and called the express COM
pany to account for carrying the game
The express company claimed ignor-
ance as to the nature of the shipment,
The state game and fish commission
officials say that the express COM
panies should know the contents Of
every shipment.
1t is an old issue between the express
company and the fish commission, and
one which would practically do away
with the illegal shipment of game
should the court decide in favor of the
state fish commission.
Whichever way the decision goes the
case will be appealed to the supreme
court The proceeding at Shell Lake
today is only a skirmish. as the ex-
press company is determined to fight
the case to the court of last resort.
Executive Agent Fullerton left last
evening for Shell Lake, where he will
testify in behalf Of the Wisconsin COM
mission, regarding his seizure of the
shipment in Minnesota.
An active interest is being taken by
the officers Of the Minnesota game and
fish commission, as it will determine
for all time the liability of express
companies in accepting illegal ship
mentS of game.
Should the courts uphold the stand
taken by the Wisconsin game warden.
it would greatly expedite the workings
of the commissioners of both the states
Of Minnesota and Wisconsin
AS long as the express companies are
permitted to accept these shipments
under the guise of ignorance the game
and fish commission has no way of
knowing just how much game is
cept in occasional cases reported by the
deputies scattered throughout the
northern part Of the state.
Frequently game is shipped as
dressed poultry" or "household
goods" the express companies accept
them many times in good faith, and be-
| fore the shipment reaches it's destina-
ton a complaint is lodged against the
company by the state commission.
Outside Of the fish commission the
case is also exciting considerable in
terest, from the fact Of the precedent 1t
| will establish in furthering the efforts
of the state game and fish commission
in protecting the great game preserves
Of Minnesota
