The Boston Herald cannot imagin :
what the legislative committee on
manufactures Is driving at in its con 4.
teoversy with the n. Il. Coke & Jas
Co." The Boston Evening Record thinks
the motives OF this remarkable inves-
tigation are getting TO be fairly well
understood. To our poor understanding
IL would seem that the motives OF par
ties were of small consequence 10 the
people of Boston; but the awful cor
ruptions. by the use Of money, of
courts, newspapers, and legislators de-
stroys the fundamental principles
which lie beneath all republican gov
errments. The case appears to us as
positively shocking.

Our illustrious morning contemporary

the poor debtors oath will never be

that a man has for his debt, the man
has no escape, but, like the slaves, he

Shot Through the Hand.

Harry Ault, the older son of Ed
Ault, accidentally shot himself
through the hand Wednesday. He
works at the ALEXANDRA restaurant
and with true boyish instincts had ex.
pended his spare cash in a handsome
hsmmerless, thIrty-eight calibre
revolver, realizing that such weapon
was very essential to him in his bust
ness. He was proudly displaying his
possession to a group of admiring
friends last night and in explaining
the way the thing was fired without a
hammer, he pressed too hard on the
trigger and the gun was discharged.
He was holding 1t close to his body At
the time with his left hand over the
end of the barrel. The bullet passed
through the hand, but it is thought
did not fracture any bones. The sur.
prise and pain and blood so upset the
boy that he tainted clear away. He
was revived and a doctor soon had
the wound dressed.

INCREASING STOCK INTERESTS
OF THE COUNTRY ALONG THE
MISSOURI RIVER AND EAST.
The live stock interests of the state
are moving eastward. A few years
ago the live stock industry of the state
was largely west of the Missouri river.
1t is moving eastward and as an evil
dence of this, several hundred carloads
of stock will be shipped this year from
points in Burleigh, Emmons, Logan
and Stutsman counties. Burleigh
county stock holdings are continually
increasing and there are now dozens
of ranches turning out good beef cattle
every. year and bringing thousands of
dollars into the county. In hmmons
county the growth of the stock indus
try is illustrated by the shipments
from Braddock which are expected to
reach 1875 carloads this year. Napo-
leon expects to ship 100 cars over the
500 during the shipping season. s.u::-
man county is also increasing its stock
interests and in all of these counties
the advantage OF live stock develop
ment is seen in the fact that those in
terested in the stock business are vir-
tually independent of their cereal
crops.

at this session against paying fees, etc,
for the arrest and failing Of men con-
victed of riding on railway trains with
out tickets. Yesterday morning OIL
Ger Mcintyre of the N. P. took two
men before Judge Gearey charging
them with riding unlawfully on the
train. Judge Gearey said that as the
commissioners refused to pay the fess
he could moi issue a warrant for their
arrest without the consent of States
Attorney Morrill,. Mr.. Morrill, said he
didn't want warrants issued against
them but wanted commitments issued
for their retention in the county Jail.
commitment papers were issued and
the men taken to the court house but
Sheriff Wilson refused to receive them,
as there were no warrants for their ar
rests. The matter will be referred to
Judge Pollock. 1t would appear that
the county commissioners could not
refuse to. pay fees provided by law, in
enforcing a law on the statute books.
