Saloon Keepers Quiet.

Devils Lake, N. D., Jan. 22.-After
the state had secured two convictions
in the blind pig cases pending at this
term of court, the defendants seem to
have lost all desire to oppose the en-
forcement of the law. As fast as the
saloon-keepers are arraigned they
plead guilty and today will probably
witness the termination of these cases,
about fifteen in all. This wipes out

A Snake Story.

OF it, says the Leeds Review.
G. w. Mendcndall and his hired
man, Frank Hamman, while remov-

tory to again filling it with ice found
in the bottom of the straw II layer of
snakes, nearly a foot deep. The snak,
were all coiled together into sold
mass, aud on heing disturbed began
squirming and kissing in a most
fri. .htful manner, while they emitted
q nauseous odor. The snakes were
from foot to six feet in length. The
reptiles were terminated by being ex-

door of the ice house and ran down
the hill and could not be persuaded to
return to that locality for some time.
At length the chaff was removed
and there was exposed to view
mass of squirming, twisting reptiles.
The chilling air soon rendered the
snakes ''hors de combat" and then
They were removed and measured,

They were piled for time by the
roadside, where they were seen by
most of the residents of this place.
Last Saturday the snakes were
aauled out on the prairie by E. E.
ircene, who pitched the new frozen
,'eptiles into his wagon with fork,
nd was obliged to make two trips to
remove them. This goes to show that
North Dakota cannot be outdQue even

AS will be noticed in another
article elsewhere in this paper,
the populists and democrats have
decided to fight the anti-fusion
law passed last winter on the
ground that it was unconsti-
tutional To be honest about the
matter the Courier believes that
such a law is not only foolish but
extremely cowardly, and to our
nation infringes on personal
rights. We see no reason why
anyone should be debarred from
running on any ticket providing
that the nomination is secured
in q legitimate manner. The re-
publican party with it's splendid
record of the past two years,
need not use any such measure
as the anti.fusion law to be en-
dorsed by the people-good
government and business
methods never fail of an endorse
ment at the hands Of the
people. If the combined forces
could not win out at the last
election we do not see, how they
can win in the coming election
with the splendid record of the
present state administration be-
hind it. However, let's have fair
play on both sides.

F INTEREST TO PUB.
LISTERS.

Editor Jewell of the Bismarck
Tribune sends out from Wash
ington a note of warming
written on both sides of the
sheet-concerning the Loud bill.
which cuts down the rights of
publishers regarding second
class mail matter. Mr.. Loud's
bill is supposed to be intended to
prevent the mailing of books and
serials at second class rates, but
after a careful examination Editor
Jewell is convinced that the pro-
posed bill will be injurious to the
interests of the western publish
ers. Mr.. Jewell finds that it
would cut off:
All sample copies, which would
include exchanges.
All copies to advertisers and
advertising agents.
All copies issued and paid for
by campaign committees or
advertisers.
All copies desired to be cir.
culated for the purpose of secur-
ing new subscribers, and in the
language of the bill would only
allow you to send copies of your
paper ITO persons who volun-
tarily order and pay for the
same" except that you do so by
paying the ruipous rate of post
age of zone cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof"
The provisions of this law can
bear no other reasonable con-
struction than that subscriber
must be cut off at the expiration
of the time to which is sub
scription has been prepaid.
Not the least Objectionable
feature of this proposed legis-
lation is it's effect upon immi
grafton matters. For il the Lond
bill becomes a law extra copies
of special editions Of the country
press containing that information
which prospective settlers and
investors all over the country
most desire will be denied the
privilege of second class rates

This thing of establishing news.
papers to support cliques, defend
scared Office holders or punish
enemies seems, unfortunately, to
be catching. There is one such
in Beltrami county, Mimi, one at
Fessenden, N. D., and probably
others. Now we learn from a
correspondent at Cooperstown,
Griggs county. N. D., that the
Office holders there are to put in
a paper of their own.
Seldom, if ever, de papers
started under such circumstances
succeed. T...cy fatten the profits
of type founders, however, and
possibly create some opportunity
for printers to geta little work.
But as their inspiration is bad.
their influence cannot be of any
real value to community. In
most instances they prove an
imposition on merchants and peo-
pie who feel they must give them
some recognition because of the
men behind them. But there is
this consolation, that the general
public can probably stand it as
long as the bank accounts of
the supporting angels. East

Law TO BE TESTED.
Anti Fusion MEASURE to .,
Taken 60 the Courts.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2l.-The
democratic and populist leaders
through the state are soliciting funds
with which to bring q test case OF the
anti-fusion law passed at the last
session of the state legislature. The
law makes number of changes in the
form of the official Australian ballot
to be used at all elections, and the
provisions especially repugnant to the
democrats and populists are those
affecting the right OF q candidate to
appear on the ticket us the candidate
of two or more parties. In the past
there has been no limit placed on the
number OF times the name of y single
candidate could appear. and in st;,tt.
elections. some candidates for Office
have appeared as democrats. populists
anti again us prohibitionis,s. being in
three places on the ticket. The votes
for the candidate. received under e;.cn
party designation, Were added us the
total number OF votes cas- forthc candi-
date. IJwas to prevent this frequent
appearance of names of candidates on
the ballot that the anti-fusion law was
passed.
The law provides that any candi-
date who has been nominated by more
than one political party must elect
under which party heading he desires
his name to appear, and notify the
secretary of state in time for the prepa-
ration of the official ballot. His name
will then be placed under the party
heading elected by him, and can APP
pear in no other place on the ballot
If this law holds, it will minimize the
chances of the democrats and populists
to elect candidates, as fusion, on the
official ballot at least, will be an i'm
possibility.
The leaders of the democrats ana
popnlists will oppose the law, claim
ing that it is unconstitutional, as
abridging the rights of the candidates
OF those two parties. They claim thai
IL is the right of any political part.
t. nominate whatever candidate ii
pleases, and that no authority exists
under the law to keep the name Ut
their candidates off tl,c ticket. They

Should the law be upheld by the
courts, there will be q move made to
fuse the two parties in the state abso
lutely, for election proposes. This
will not be accomplished without
trouble, rs there are many old-line
democr ats who will refuse to enter in
to a party organization with the latter
day populist, and there are many of
the populists who will refuse to enter
into an alliance, political or other.
wise, with the democrats.
There is especial interest in the anti
fusion matter ut this time, as some of
the democrats and populists believe
that the present strife among the re-
publicans will afford them an oppor-
tunity to slip into state Offices as they
did in the'fall of 1893. They are there
fore, anxious that there shall be no
legal obstacle to their fusion, and
securing as many places on the official
ballot as possible.

FROM ti,e Evenino Ne,rs, Detroit, Mich.

From The Erening Ne'rs, Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. John Tansey, of 1876 Baker Street,
Detroit. Michigan, is one of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is a mother
to those in distress. Toa reporter she said:
II am the mother OF ten children and
have raised eight of them. Several years
ago we had serious time with mydaughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed to gradually waste away.
Having never had any consumption in our
family, as we come OF good old Irish and
Scotch stock, we did not think IL was that.
Our doctor called the disease by an odd
name which, as / afterward learned, meant
lack of blood.

and soon WAS in perfect health. The medi-
cine used was DIR. Williams Pink Pills for

some wonderful cures.

she asked. But you are quite well

Then she asked II had been study

ever. She asked me where l lived. II
In New York, and when l would leave

to Venice and then on to Paris.

she asked. Were you seasick?" q

fine that 1t was to be international.
Though she did not know what effor.s
the French would make to be repre-
sented, she understood that England
would send a great many fine paintings
whish would be well worth an artists
study.
The conversation drifted pleasantly
until the queen gave a sign that the
audience was at an end by tactfully
turning the conversation, and with an
inclination forward said, And I hope
we shall see you again in Rome" in
the most cordial tones as she arose.
"iioodby," she said. as / bowed low
