A TEMPERANCE BAR.
The PrebIe House Has Inaugurated
This Innovation.

Not all of the bars in the hotels are
closed. The bar at the PrebIe house was
open Saturday evening and was doing a
good business, 1t has been open since
Wednesday. but nothing is being handled
over its counters except soft drinks.
'We have the bar here, said one of
the bar tenders Saturday night, land
this week we decided that we might just
as well use it We sell no liquor, either
beer or whiskey. nothing save soft drinks
this trip. 1t wouldn't do at all to sell
anything else. If we did the word
would get around in a minute and as
things are now I guess we would be

None OF those who had testified had ever
tasted OF the milk but she always taste
of it before she gave It to the child.
Mrs. Sarah Matthews said the child was
born in her house and was weak and
sickly from birth The substance Of her
testimony was that Hannah McDonough
had done all she could for the child and
fed it as well as she was able.
Mr.. Kehoe argued for the defence. He
claimed that the state had failed to shoN
any criminal neglect of the child. The
woman was in very poor circumstances
and this should be taken into account in
judging whether she did all she could for
the child. He claimed that the child was
sick and refused nourishment and would
have died under any condition after It
began to fail not long before It's death.
County Attorney Libby argued that the
state had shown through DR.. Weeks that
the baby had really starved to death.

however, should decide that the child had
not been wiIfully murdered he would
claim that Hannah McDonOugh should
be held for manslaughter, on the ground
that she had neglected the child, though
having money to feed it and that she
might have called physician, thers being
plenty of doctors who would respond to
the call, even though she had no money.
Judge Hill said that he should contin-
ue the case until Monday morning, thus
giving him time to make a decision

COLONEL MORTON, DEMOCRAT, Nj

Colonel Morton Of Fargo, s. D., an

ANOTHER COLORADO
PAPER IN LINE

The Boulder County (Colo.)
Herald has decided to support
the Mckinley administration.
The Herald left the Republican
party in 1896. IT says.
con the issue Of imperial
isn,' which is a misnomer, the
Herald believes in standing by
the present administration. 1t
believes in the light of events
that the administration is pur-
suing the proper course. It
looks upon the cry OF imperial
ISM as foolish play upon
words which should not be in
dorsed al. the polls. The Herald
has the highest admiration for
Mr.. Bryan. It believes him to
be sincere, but 1t also believes
him to be in error in this in
stance. Further than that the
cry of free silver still has an eff
feet upon the business interests
of the East similar to the shak-
ing OF red rag at bull. The
fear of 1t would so frighten busi-
ness interests as to cause a fnan-
cial collapse equal to, If not
greater In extent to, that Of
1s93."
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-10-25

ssFinally, I am opposed to Mr..
Bryan, as 7 hold him directly rec
sponsible for the death Of every
one Of the brave American sol,
diers slain In the Philippines.
It is the encouragement held out
to the rebels by MIR. Bryan and
others Of his ilk that keeps up
the struggle there. The war was
over, but the sympathy and
promises held out by Mr.. Bryan
have caused the fighting to break
out afresh, and 1t will from this
time until concluded be fraught
with more disaster to our boys,
for they have slowly and surely
been teaching their adversaries
how to fight. For each man who
falls there, be he inspired by the
sense Of duty or the love Of war,
Mr.. Bryan is responsible. The
thought Of electing such man
as this to the presidency is utter
~ repugnant."
