Editor Alert.-A few words from our
place, for our place might not be out OF
place, and even if your correspondent is
not very good one still I find it my
duty this'time to write your paper q few
words. 1t is the peculiar position of our
representatives in this leg lslature IN the
500 called temperance commission ques.
tion that strikes me. It is said that
petitions are constantly coming in to the
legislators from different parts of the
couotry urging them to do whatever
they can for tho passage of the above
BILL A friend of mine told mo the other
day that petitions OF the kind had been
sent in by avowed resubmlsslonists ask
Ing the Legislators thus addressed to put
in all their force for the enactment of
the said bill into law.
Now, if the commissioner could really
be Of any use to the state We
should not have anything against
the bill ana the subsequent
appointment of the commissioner. But
1t appears to be the belief OF most Of the
old prohibitionists that the whole work
will be a failure, and some of the papers
Of the state even 60 go far az to declare
the young man who is at Bismarck press
ing the work in this line, an impos-
sibility.
How that may be We do not know, OF
course. Only one thing may be said
with the greatest of certainty, and 1t is
this-that as soon as the farmers of the
state awaken to sensible consideration
of the bill they will be but very little
thankful to their lawmakers for the
enactment Of 1t, and wheD, in q not
remote future, we have to face the result
of ito enactment in the form of resub.
mission, our North Dakota citizens will
deplore the day when they gave the
members of the present. legislative body
their votes. 1t is an ominous fact that
it ls few of the worst prohlbitlon oranks
together With the resubm isslonists ard
Lindlie, of course, that are the strongest
urgers OF the enactment OF the bill.

Mrs. Klapp's Success.

Mrs. Frederick Klapp's musical tai
ents are becoming known and appreciated
in the Twin Cities. Last Tuesday she
gave piano recital before large COM
pany at the residence of Rev. T. f.
Webb of Minneapolis. "Her program
consisted of selectionsfrom MendeIssohn,
Sohumann, Schubert. Grieg, Liszt. She
prefaoed each number with brief char.
soterization of the composer and the
particular works selected. Her COM
ments betrayed full knowledge of the
themes" says the Tribune, which added
"The occasion was really the public
introduction of Mrs. Klapp, who has
won more than local reputation for her
ability. She has high ideals and her
Interpretation and execution justify the
welcome she is receiving in musical
circles"
Sunday last she appeared as soloist
with the Danz orchestra concert At the
Metropolitan theatre, of which perform
snoe the Minneapolis Times says:
The Danz orchestra concert yesterday
afternoon was the best of the season.
Yesterdays program gave something one
rarely hears, piano concerto, aud was
appreciated by the musical element pres
ent. Mrs. Frederick Klapp gave the
Mendelssohn "Con certo No. l, op. 25, "
and was most warmly received. Mrs.
Klapp has played before the Ladies'
Thursday musicale and at private resi-.
dences, but this may be said to be her
first public appearance, She has most
musical touch, a clear technique and an

Maine Mans Way of Solving a Prob
lem in Bee Culture.


According to Tom Kier, of Venable,
Ne, a bee is a well-meaning and poorly
educated insect that needs the guiding
hand of man to bring it to fullest perfec-
ton. The making of honey is a second
airy consideration in the economy of bee
life. The stuff which costs time and la
Dor Is the comb. which is manufactured
into storage vaults, in which the honey is
preserved in alright sealed packages,
stamped and labeled with the trade mark
of the queen bee who presides over the
-destinies of the colony. Different men
have constructed machinery for the
stamping of beeswax into crude imita-
ton of the genuine comb, and the bees
have accepted this as a passable substi-
tute for the real thing, but Tom is the
first apiartst who has done away with
Sbeeswax in any form and satisfied the
bees.
One day last June after washing his
buggy and sponging it off he threw the
sponge, which was large and porous, into
an empty beehive that was in his stable
Here 1t stayed until thoroughly dry. A
swarm Of bees coming out, Tom housed
them In this hive without thinking to re
move the sponge, which had chung to a
nail in the top board. Two weeks later
Tom looked into his hive and found it
was almost filed with nice. white clover
one, the great store was a surprise to
Tom, who thought 1t would not be full
before September. On closer observation
he found that his bees had utilized the
porous sponge as a storehouse for their
honey, filling 1t cell by cell and sealing
1t up as If a sponge was the very article
that progressive bees had been seeking
all their lives.
1t was too late to continue the expert
ment. as all the bees had swarmed, but
this year Tom has equipped all of his
new hives with sponge comb, and be-
lieves he has solved a problem that has
mystified beekeepers for years. Instead
Of compelling his bees to waste three
fourths of their time in chewing vegeta-
BILE gum and making it into wax for
cells, he will now furnish them with
ready-made comb, thus multiplying his
honey output three or four times. When
he wants some new honey he will re-
move a sponge, put 1t in a cider press.
and, having squeezed out the liquid
sweetness, he will replace the sponge in
the hive to be filed again

TWISTED THE TRUST

visitor from New Jersey, but this is
an absolutely true story of how one man
at least beat a Dig trust at its own CANA
HE was at the head of a small concern
maklng-let us say-car wheels Chats not
exactly 1T, but pretty nearby, and about
year ago he got a private mint that the
other car wheel people were arranging a
combine. He said nothing, but immedf-
ateiy communicated with several Of the
la1 gest consumers and offered conhden-
TALLY q reduction of about Is per cent.
secured advance orders that would occu-
Ply him over two years to fill running at
fuii capacity. AT the price named every
wheel would be made at a less, and his
partners were badly scared He ,old
them to keep their mouths shut and wait.
In a few months the trust was organized.
according to programme, and one day a
plano agent dropped in and offered him a
1air Price for the plant. He said he didn't
care to sell. The trust thereupon pro-
ceeded to put on the screws in the usual
fashion. In other words, they cut rates.
but. strange to say, the little matchmaker
didn't seem to care. They made another
and much larger cut, with the intention
of freezing him out at one fell swoop.
That was Just what he was waiting for
and through third party he instantly
placed orders covering all the contracts
he had made at a figure that left him a
handsome margin Of profit. Without sus-
pecting that the large orders came from
their intended victim, the trust people
became alarmed at ihe losses incurred in
the freezing out process and made him
another and much better offer for his
plant, which he promptly accepted. Now
the trust has the concern and is obliged
to run 1t day and night to make wheels
at 25 per cent under actual cost from the
man it tried to ruin. As fast as he gets
them he turns them over on his contracts
and reaps the intermediate profit, while,
needless to say, the trust magnates howl
with anguish every time they make a de-
livery. The little matchmaker got enough
out of the sale Of the plant to retire for
life, and he is carrying out the rest of
the campaign merely for sport. He says
it's great fun to see a trust on the grid
iron"

used as mantel and monument works.
the second floor as woodworking shop,
the third floor for storage purposes, and
the fourth floor as paint shop. The fire
destroyed all of the betting, valued at
about $500, and also damaged the COM

Most successful Year In the History
of the Commission.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The work of
the fish commission is practically C M
pleted for this year. According to the
officials of the commission when the re-
ports are in July l they Will show
that it has been the most successful year
in the history of the commission. The
great bulk of the work has been in ths
collection and distribution of the eggs and
fry of commercial food fish, and this
year more cod, whitefish, pike, perch
bass, hatfish and lobster have been plant
ed than ever before. Fully as many shad
have been planted this year as last, when
the high water mark in shad propagation
was reached.
The value of the work done by the fish
commission can be best illustrated in the
case of shad. The catch of shad in 1885
was 100000. The systematic collecti OF
eggs and distribution of shad fry since
that year has increased the catch annual
ly until this year 1t reached Is, 000, 600 The
value of the catch this year was upward
of $S00,000. This result has been obtained
by the commission with total expendi-
ture of S420 00
There are stations in Montana, Colo
rado and South Dakota for the propaga-

During the occupation of Paris at the

Frenchmen used to catch the small white
poodles belonging to German officers and
dip their headquarters in blue dye and
their forequarters in red, Transforming
them into animated copies of the French
flag, greatly to the wrath and disgust of
their owners. The only other instance of
dyed dogs OF which 1 have any personal
knowledge came under my observation a
few weeks ago, when lady brought me
a pet spaniel to treat for an liberated
paw. The little creature was a sort of
tawny yellow, quite different from any
spaniel I had ever seen, but when I came
to examine him closely 1 found that he
had been 'bloHdined,' evidently by per-
oxide of hydrogen. His natural color was
steel gray, and the fur at the roots
showed 1t Enthusiastically. The lady was
an actress, who was passing through here
on her way to New York, and when she
called for her pet 1 incidentally referred
to the dyeing. She laughed, and admit

to match favorite costume, adding that
she had been assurea by a doctor that
the process was entirely harmless. AS
far as I could see, the dogs health was
not affected. He certainly looked very
