Complications Over Bond Issue.

Complications Over Bond Issue.
The offer, of 5000 premium on the
$4,000 asylum bonds that were to have
been issued for the erection of new
ward buildings has been withdrawn,
owing to a question as to the bonds being
state bonds and constitutional. The
$1,000 forfeit, said to have been put up,
was returned rather than enter into a
legal contest over retaining it. There
was an offer made by a Chicago firm of
par for the bonds, but was rejected. It
is feared these complications will pre-
vent the erection of the ward buildings
this year. An opinion of the attorney
general rs to the liability Of the. state
for these bonds is said to have been un-
favorable. There is no question among
the trustees that the issue would be
cared for by the state as moral obliga-
ton of the highest kind, if the lands be-
longing to the hospital on which the
bonds were secured did not bring the
original amount in the next twenty
years.

The Crum Cases.

The attention of the supreme court
was taken up Monday with the cases
against Taylor Crum of Fargo-the
criminal case in which he was sentenced
to fine and imprisonment by Judge Pol
lock for contempt of court and the civil
case in which an action for disbarment
was brought against him in the district
court before Judge Glaspell, and he was
ordered disbarred.
From both cases Crum appeals to the
supreme court, asking that the judg-
ment of the lower court be set aside.
The criminal appeal was argued for the
state at the beginning of the present
term of court by Attorney F. B. Morril
Of Fargo, and the other side of the case
vas argued this morning by Ida M.
Crum, wife of the defendant, Attorney
j. E. Robinson and S. G. Roberts,. The
civil disbarment suit will also be argued
by the same parties at this afternoons
session of the court and by Attorney
B. F. Spauling of Fargo for the Cass
county bar association.
The interest in these cases is general
through the state, particularly among
members of the bar. The charges
against Crum in the disbarment suit
are numerous and extend over a period
of several years, different unprofessional
acts being alleged against him in his
career as a member of the Cass county
bar. At a previous time there were
charges filed against Crum and a com
mittee appointed to prosecute the case,
but their action in the matter was sus-
pended until the charges were revived
at the time Crum was adjudged guilty
OF contempt by Judge Pollock.
The cases are among tho most inter.
esting on the calendar of the present
term of court and the decision will be
awaited with interest.

Coming in Prairie schooners.

Coming in Prairie Schooners.
jamestown Alert: The first of the
spring fleets of prairie schooners to the
state arrived yesterday afternoon and
consisted of five wagons and thirteen
people from the southwestern part OF
Nebraska. The party had been five
weeks on the road and expected to ar
rive at Devils Lake by Sunday. The
trip was hard on the horses, which look
ed worn. They have had no shelter,
standing out in the cold nights. The
women and children also were feeling
the effects Of the long journey, but all
were hopeful. Friends preceded them
two years ago and their encouraging re-
ports induced them to leave Nebraska
also.
Frontier county, they said, was first
settled 10 years ago but now few Of the
original settlers remain. Repeated crop
failures and heavy mortgages on the
lands have cleaned them out. There is
no money in renting land. Some of the
first settlers lost their lands to mortga-
gees, went to the eastern part Of the

A WORD OF v
To Those Coming to Alaska or Il
Klondike Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader coming
to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon
country, and that is the necessity for
providing an adequate and proper food
supply. Whether procured in the
States, in the Dominion, or at the sup
ply stores here or futher on, this must
be his primary concern. Upon the
manner in which the miner has observed
or neglected this precaution more than
upon any other n thing will his sue
cess or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative. For
instance, as bread raised with baking
powder must be relied upon for the
chief part of every meal, imagine the
helplessness of a miner with a can of
spoiled baking powder. Buy only the
very best -four; it is the cheapest in the
end. Experience has shown the Royal
Baking Powder to be the most reliable
and the trading companies now uni
formly supply this brand, as others will
not keep in this climate. Be sure that
the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly
cured. These are the abaolute neces.
stiles upon which all must place a chief
reliance, and can under no circum.
stances be neglected. They may, OF
course, be supplemented by as many com
forts OF delicacies as the prospector may
be able to pack or desire to pay for
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds OF
cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon the trail or in the camp, is
published by the Royal Baking Powder
Company, of New York. The receipts
are thoroughly practical, and the
methods are carefully explained, so that
the inexperienced may, with its aid.
readily prepare everything requisite fol
a good, wholesome meal, or ever dainties
if he has the necessary materials. The
matter is in compact though durable
form, the whole book weighing but two
ounces. Under a special arrangement
this book will be sent free to miners OF
others who may desire it. We would
recommend that every one going to the
Klondike procure a copy. Address the
Royal Baking Powder Co., New York.

American Consuls are commercial
travellers, thinks the London Mail.
Just as certain private individuals are
commissioned to travel in the inter
ests of private firms, so the American
Consul regards himself in the charac-
ter of an accredited representative of
American trade in the mass. German
Consuls take similar view of their
functions. British Consuls, in many
cases, though they are showing signs
Of grace, are ambitious rather to figure
as diplomatic personages, and they
give the most casual attention to their
oountry's commerce.

Mr.. Richard Watson Glider is quoted
as having said that much Of the marital
infelicity of the world would be evaded
were men and women to read great
poems as constantly as they do the
newspapers. It is easy, butnot neces-
sary, to see in the dictum reflection
upon the newspapers. Editors, of all
persons, are those least prone to think
they possess the divine atflatus or to
imagine that the verses which they
now and then print in proof OF their
good humor are in any sense great
poems" They claim that newspapers
are not comparable to great poems,
and do this without waiving their 10y
atty to the press. The former they in
tend shall tell the news, which, more
or less, according as it is colored, is
fact; while the latter are imaginative
and emotional.

The press represents civilization,
says the Kansas City Star. 1t stands
as the safeguard of liberty and justice

stands between the humble and op-

corruption and wrong? What, in this
land, hath no fear? 1t is the press of
America, the free press, and all men
know that the newspapers, as if by
instinct, mark for their displeasure
every enemy of the community and
the nation and every agency of i'm
morality and crime.

figures, babes continue to be consid-

hundred of our population were of
wholly native pareutage, and now they
number only 2S. On the other hand,
persons of wholly foreign rarentage
numbered 60 in each hundred ten
years ago, and now they number G2.

1t is about II months ago. shortly
after he had attained the ripe age of
so years, that the press of this city
published, with appreciative COM
ment, the announcement that Colonel
Henry Lee, of the firm of Lee, Hig-
ginson Il Co., had retired from the
business with which he had been so
long and honorably connected. Now
that death has rung down the curtain
upon the conspicuous activities of his
long and useful life, it seems fit to say
that it has been given to few, even of
the many eminent citizens of Boston,
to unite so many high qualities and
shining endowments as found express
sion in the busy life of this venerable

it is safe to say that the latter method

A suit has been brought in the SUI
preme court here against the Boston
Transit commission and the city treas
urer. 1t seeks an injunction to re-
strain the construction of the East
Boston tunnel and the issuance of
bonds by the city to defray the eX
pense of said construction. The pc
titioners contend that the act is I'M
constitutional. They assert that the
act was never submitted to the voters
of the city for their ratification, as
should be done in matters of
that character. One ground as
signed for the reason why the
tunnel should not be constructed
is that it will create a big debt. The
ferries now operated are not self-sup-
porting, and tunnel would tend to
deprive them of certain patronage aad
thereby enlarge the deficit. The rental
asked is said to be not sufficient to ray
the interests and sinking fund require
ments on the bonds. A subpoena has
been issued, returnable on the first
Monday i'll January.

Maj. Dexter H. Follett, for many
years commander of Company A, First
battalion, light artillery, VI. V. NJ,
one of the best known citizens of Bos.
ton, and one of the best known "Men
of Pleasure, in New England, an old
friend of 'Artemus Ward" is dead
after lingering illness. He was
born in this city 65 years ago
and lived here all his life. Young
Follett attended the public schools of
Boston, and when he arrived at mans
estate, entered his fathers counting
room, the parents desire being that
he might become his successor in the
firm. He was an only sou, and had
been petted and allowed largely to
follow his own inclinations, and the
dull routine of Il commercial life was
distasteful to him. His father was
wealthy and fond, and the young man
was literally supplied with funds with
which he proceeded tomake life pleas
ant. His tastes were expensive. He
was liberal patron of the drama, had
penchant for fast horses, was proprie-
tor of a fine yacht, and disposed of large
sums annually in other expensive
amusements. While yet young man
he married the daughter of Mr.. Daniel
Farrar, his fathers partner, and so
kept all the money in the family
which was said to be the reason of the
marriage, rs the bonds on the majors
part were never allowed to gall. They
lived in grand style, were extremely
hospitable, and their former home in
Chester park was the scene OF many
pleasant gatherings in which the young
people of a past generation partici-
pated. Early in life Mr.. Follett eX-
hibited Il marked tendency for military
life, and his record in that direction
had been all that could be desired.
