IT pays to be careful. Judge Pol-5
lock, of Fargo, in district court, re-
Gently decided in favor Of tax
dodger who went to law to prevent
the collection Of taxes on his prop
erty because said taxes were not en-
tered in the tax-books In the name Of
the last-known owner, although the
tracts were entered by their proper
description. The Record does not
know whether the decision applies to
delinquent tax-lIst publications; but,
II 1t does, majority Of the counties
cannot collect taxes for 1900 and those
unpaid from other years. Very few
OF the state papers that come to the
Record Onice, and which contain q
delinquent-tax list, giSe the names OF
owners. Emmons county does not be-
long in this category, however, as for
years this county has printed the de-
.linquent-tax list In double.colpmn
form, with thename of the owaer Of
each tract. 1t puts double the work
on the publisher printing the list. and
takes up twice the space in the paper,
but it leaves NO question on that score
as to the legality.

can be put to the war, says the Mime
apuals Tribune, faraishes another illus
tration Of the patriotic verse to the
effect that ..Freedom's battle, once
begua, :tequeathed from bleeding sire
to son, Enough bafled oft, is ever won.
A year ago the British people would
not have been willing to negotiate
with the Beers on any basis short Of
surrender; but now,
according to cable advices, the gov.
ernment has let 1t be known that it is
willing to open negotiations with any
responsible BOer commander on the
basis Of focal self-government. The en-
couraEtng feature Of the present. phase
Of the situation is that such u propo-
sal does not meet with rebukc from the
British ''jingo" element. All classes
Of the people are tired of the war, and
willing to have seop put to it upon
any terms not positively humiliat.
ing. This change Of attitude has been
brought about oy the success of the
Beers in making prolonged resistance.
Had they succumbed when their ar.
mics we're beaten and dispersed, their
capital aud leading cities captured,
and, according to the technical rules
Of warfare, their power OF resistance
completely broken. their petition for
autonomy would have been treated
with scant consideration. But now
they can have, almost anything they
ask for short Of absolute separation
aud independence of British suze-
rainty. 4.

|; A New York dispatch to the St.
Paul Pioneer Press says: Stove lien Of
Albany and Troy are discussing an in-
iyention which they say will be as rev
olutionary rs that Of the sewing ma
chine. The invention consists Of ..
firebox which burns soft coal without
smoke. They believe Calhoon, the In
ventor, has at last solved the problem
of perfect combustion in the burning
OF bituminous coal. All tho carbina-
ceous gases are consumed which hith-
erto have escaped through the chin.
ney fiues In the. shape of dense smoke.
The stove has been inspected by chem
lists, railroad men and representatives
Of some Of the big coal companies,
and their estimate Of the results Of
its development are far-reaching.
Half Of the 1900, 600 stoves manufac.
.tlred in the United States yearly can
be used to burn soft coal with as much
cleanliness as hard coal. It will re-
suit, they say, not only In the substi-
tuition throughout much of the west
of bituminous coal at $3.50 . ton for
anthracite at u or o, but also in the
utilization Of the great Ignite fields
of the Dakotas and the Northwest,
which until now have proved Of little
value. Fuel will thus not only be
cheapened, but largely saved By the
increased power obtainable from q
given quantity by burning the IS per
cent gas as well q the 65 per cent car
bon. This would save millions Of
dollars in fuel bills. take the smoke
out OF every locomotive stack Ia the
country, and end the smoke nuisance

Others Fatally Injured in IL South
Chicago Conhasration.

seven persons was burned to death. three
fatally injured and several Others slightly
injured in a fire that DESTROYED il three-
story apartment building at 1916 Marquette
Avenue, South Chicago, early Sunday.
While the occupants of the burning
building were struggling with the smoke

way to safety, the firemen, who were re-
spending TO the alarm, We're vainly wait
ing for Il freight train which blocked the
way oil the fire engines, to move away

10 the IRE. Marshal Driscoll, in charge
OF the tiremen. called TO the conductor and
brakeman to move the train, but they
refused to comply with his request. The
police were sent for and the crew was
arrested. Then, under orders of the fire
marshal, the train was backed from the
crossing, but by the time the iiremen
reached the burning building the structure
had been destroyed. Scattered alnong the
ambers were found the charred remains
OF the victims. The bodies were burned
beyond recognition, and were identified in
various ways.
The train crew, who live at Elkhart,
Ind, are being held without bail, awaiting
the verdict of the coroner's inquest.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
building was an old one, built of wood,
and burned so rapidly that all avenues of
escape by stairways We're cut off before
the occupants were aware Of the fire.
Officials OF the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, on whose track the
rain is said TO have blocked the tiremen,
declare that they have evidence that the
blocking lasted but a few minutes, and
hat the members of the train crew did
everything in their power to make way

DANGER OF CRISIS.
British Coal Duty Threatens a Great
Ticup of Industries.

Chancellor llicks-Beacli's proposed cx-
port duty on coal threatens to bring upon
Great Britain an unparalleled industrial
crisis. The coal miners delegates have
recommended the universal closing OF coal
pits as a protest against the export tax.
The miners leaders say they can hold out
six weeks, by which time every industry
in the country would be paralyzed.
In parliament the threatened strike is re-
garded as unwise and impracticable now,
whereas if the miners should wait until
the coal owners attempt to recoup them
selves for the tax IL of the wages the
sympathy of the whole country would be
with them in the strike. Chancellor Hicks
Beach will now adhere absolutely to the
tax, but it is admitted that il the strike
should he ordered and maintained for a
month the budget proposals must be aban-
doned and the whole government fall.
The government has issued an urgent
"whip' to the unionist members, who are
largely pledged to vote against the tax.
The government is standing firm, and is
taking strong precautions to secure a ma
iOrity for the measure.

CONDENSED FORM.
Supreme Court Takes omcial No.
tice of Law Passed by Late Leg
islature Regarding Attorneys
Certificates of Qualification.

The provision of the law of the last leg
islature in regard to the admission to the
bar in this state has called out SO many in
qliries that the court has taken judicial
notice of the matter, and in an opinion by
Judge COrsOn takes ,he position that IN
attorney who is practicing law in this state
under a certificate Of admission from a'cir-
cult judge in the state is entitled TO admis-
sion on his certificate after taking the re-
quired oath.
The matter of admission of attorneys
holding certificates from other states is
then consideredi in the following language:
IAN applicant who holds a certificate of
admission from another state and who
produces satisfactory evidence that he has
practiced in the highest courts of such
state for Il period of three years, must also
present satisfactory evidence that he pos
sesses the requisite general education pro-
vided for by section 9, in addition to- evil
dence of good moral character. III such APP
plicant is unable TO present the diploma
or certificate specified by section ., as
to his educational qualifications, he must
be examined in the same manner as an
applicant who has not been heretofore adj
mitted in any court. Where an eXamina-
ton by the court is necessary, the appll-
can't VIII only be admitted after Sucn an
examination, made OF the first day OF
each term of court, except that for the
present term the examination may be had
on the 10th day of July next. 1t will be
observed that by the provisions of section
3, an applicant who has been admitted to
practice in the courts of another state and
has practiced three years therein is not
absolutely entitled to admission in the
courts OF this state, but that the. question
Of his admission is lief, to the discretion of
the court. In view OF this fact, the court
will require in all cases that such an APP
plicant for admission. except such as old
certificates of admission by the circuit
courts of this state, to appear before the
court for such examination as the court
may choose to make as to the character of
such applicants and their general qualiti-
cations to practice, and require them to
take oath of an attorney in open court"
