LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
Gathered Here and There About Hotel
Lobbies BY Tribune
Scribes.

Devils Lake correspondence to Grand
Forks Herald: The Ramsey county legis-
lative delegation was home during the
adjournment, and speak in high terms of
Gov. and Mrs. White and the people of
Bismarck. They say that nothing has
been left undone to make their stay in
that city enjoyable.
The states attorney bill-better known
as the bill to knock Bosard and Bosard
AS %remodeled by the attorney general
will be reported favorably to the house.
AS it now stands it is said the measure
makes the attorney general the prose
cutting attorney in each county-not only
in prohibition cases but any action-and
this will be resented by states attorneys.
They look upon it as humiliating. They
do not object to the attorney general
being given the power to act where
states attorneys refuse or fail to do their
duty but they should first be given an
opportunity. 1t is not likely the present
attorney general would abuse the power
and privilege given him but some time
in the future this provision in the law
might cause much embarrassment and
friction.

JIMMY EMMONS.
He Drops Into a Reminiscent Mood
Over the Death OF Capt. Horn.

He Drops Into a Reminiscent Mood
Over the Death OF Capt. Horn.
/ The following from Jimmy Emmons
regarding Capt. Horn, the deceased
pioneer scandinavian:
1t sens so long ago-when a little boy
holding on to my fathers hand-yes, be-
fore the war--when a beautiful little
steamer named the "Colona" landed at
my fathers woodward. There was Cap
tain Horn, young and active. It ap-
peared to me that there was a fulilment
of all a human being ought to aspire to
b~e-captain of such a pretty little
boat. There was all kinds of goods to
sell aboard, and the captain filled by
pockets with apples, oranges and candy.
1t was in the fall and father and Capt.
Horn were both Virginians. They
chummed together, and the supplies for
the family and a large crew of men were
bought, to last through perhaps a long
winter. In those days Nebraska was
considered drear and cold in the winter.
The little steamer had a whistle that
made a terrible loud, base. musical note,
that awoke the Indians, the whites, the
deer and the buffalo. How time flies and
rings the changes. Soon after came the
rich and fourishing days of steamboat
navigation. The fleets of beautiful pas
senger packets from st. Louis to the
mountains, the swarms of gold seekers,
the Indian wars, the soldiers, the camp
fire, the march, the battles, the awful
massacres, the opening of the Black
Hills, the thousands of teams crossing
the plains. The transfer boat Union
arrives; the Northern Pacific is built to
Bismarck, the Union Pacific through to
the ocean, the Great Northwestern fin
ished to the Missouri river, the Chicago,
Burlington, Quincy and the Illinois
Central to Sioux City, Hannibal, St. Joe
and Omaha, navigation of the Missouri
doomed, the boatsman out Of a situation;
Capt. Horn arrives in Bismarck turning
gray-several fortunes earned and lost.
| had been running the transfer boat
Union to accommodate my friends, Nc
Lean and Macnider and the Black Hills
Stage company, but | Immediately re-
tired and recommended my fathers
friend and the man that gave me
candy and apples away back before
the war. This situation he held the
balanceof his life. The business was
changed from Bismarck to Pierre.
Capt. Horn was a rough diamond. His
heart was easily touched. He was
thoroughly honest and faithful-always
to duty. He had his faults but they
were far overbalanced by kind
ness. The river men of his time will
agree with me that he was industrious,
vigilant, true. After all life is only a
short span. What great Developments

a one called American desert. Stars i'll
the union-Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota,

No, it's a great realty. The buffalo has
gone; the great Northern Pacific has
crossed his paradise. Sometimes a man
may think he has lived a double life it
has been so swift.

A Fargoite makes the pertinent en-
quiry-"are the saloons really closed in
Bismarck and if not why, in view of the
attorney generals p~roclamation?" 1t
may be observed that proclamation is
one thing-enforcement quite another
thing. AS the Tribune has heretofore
stated the term of tho present mayor, who
maintains he was not elected to enforce
the law, has not expired and the present
peace officers are under instructions to
do as they are instructed. When the
attorney general gets around to it he
may be able to find some way to get
around the protection at present pro
vided-as the mayor CONSTITUTES it in com
pliancewith public sentiment. as it was
when all the factions were together lin
the municipal election a year ago.
The Tribune still believes that
the law-breakers in Bismarck, who are
becoming bolder--as the day of punish
ment is prolonged--will finally discover
the evil day.

The killing of Charles .Brucker by his
wife in Merricourt township Dickey

the subject of much discussion, and it is
reported that an effort may yet be made
to have Mrs. Brucker stand trial for the
shooting. The people of the northwest
corner of the county are said to be di.
vided' on the question of whether or not
the shooting was justiiable, and further
investigation is not improbable.

A GOOD DAYS WORK

$1,000 Ter year, and that it had been
agreed by the chairmen of the COM
mittees of both parties if the incumbent
would accept that they would endeavor
to secure the passage Of a law which
would either allow him to practice law
or to raise his salary.
| Winslow said he sympathized with
the judge but that it was bad policy to
make this exception in raising the salary
OF men who were in Office.
Rose said he opposed the passage of
bills that affected only one county. es-
pecially when the members from that
county opposed the bill.
Chaffee agreed with Hare, as did
Packard and several others.
Chacey opposed the raising of the sal
aries of county officers until they had to-.
1t was bad policy, etc.
Thomas sarcastically remarked that
he was pleased to witness this reform in
the members and a disposition, though
it was late in the day, to actually cut
down a salary. That he had tried that
on in his bill to reduce the salary of the
supreme court reporter, but was turned
down.. This county judge knew what
the salary and the law was when he took
the office and ought to be happy.
Reade was, surprised that the Barnes
county man should object to such a vir-
tuous amendment in view of the ~tenacity
with which he insisted on other occa
slons upon the same provisions with
other county officers, notably the aud
itors.
Young said that each bill should stand
on its own merits and be so considered.
He was opposed to log rolling and swap
ping votes.
Hare objected to the further oratory
of the man from Barnes and he ceased.
Anderson said the people of Ransom
county were opposed to this measure
and so was the delegation.
During the rpll call Thordarson took

commissioner salary bill was being
knocked down and dragged out.
Rose wanted to tell some more about
the matter, but Hare thought it contrary
to the rules of order, and the bill was
put to sleep 5 to Al.

THE LITTLE OLD SPlNET.

Do you see the little spinet standing in the cor.
ner there?
Great-grandmother loved to play it when she was
a maiden fair.
Sunbeams through the window twinkle, fick'ring
on its yellowed keys,
And we almost hear the tinkle of the old time
melodies.
Great-grandmother gowned in silk, with high
heeled slippers, dainty lace,
Sat there, while a smile Of pleasure lighted up
her fair young face;
From without the rose scent fingers, drifting on
+, the summer breeze, ...
While she plays with fairy fingers all the old time
melodies. "
And the little spinet waits her patiently these
long, long years, -.
Till its mellow voice is broken, harsh, and has the
sound OF tears, II -. ri
Yet It. seems the sunbeams ~straying, fickring on
its yellowed keys, -
And her fairy fingers playing all the old time

THE FRENCH SHORE."
Where Misery. Squalor, Hunger and
Cold Rule In Newfoundland.

Where Misery. Squalor, Hunger and
Cold Rule In Newfoundland.
Misery, squalor and wretchedness.
a~ccentuated by an almost ceaseless
struggle with hunger and cold, are the
portion of the Inhabitants of the
North Shore" in Newfoundland.
Their little hamlets are perched in the
riffs in the almost unbroken hills, and
the fierce storms sweep the surface
almost to their doorsteps, while for
seven months Of the year their coast
is blockaded with ice and they are cut
off from all communication with the
outsid. world.
The only industry is codfishing, and
cod is the sole medium Of exchange.
The people rarely see money, and bar
ter is he system Of trading, a quintal
Of cod being the unit of value. The
needs of the fisher folk are only sup
piled by the itinerant trader, his
schooner being laden with provisions,
clothing and fishing appliances. Thus
have these people lived for generations.
They are ignorant, for the means of
education are nonexistent, the children
being content with what satisfied their
fathers. The common objects Of every
day life are unknown to them. They
have neither horses nor cattle. Only
a few of the older folk who have ven
tured south have any knowledge of
these things.
There are no roads and therefore no
vehicles. Travel is by boat during
the summer and over the ice foes dur
ing the rest of the year. The few let
tiers for the clergy and others who can
read are conveyed to the settlements
by dog teams during the winter, and,
save for the fortnightly visit Of the
mailboat during the period Of open
navigation, a steamer lis never seen
by the residents.
With such marvels as electric tele-
graphs, telephones and electric light
they are Of course unfamiliar, and
their standard of intelligence is best
indicated by stating that it is not un-
usual to find q justice Of the peace who
cannot write his own name.-Cham.

An enterprising New York manu-
facturer is shipping lamps to Bag
dad, the home of Aladdin. He had
made lamp that seems to have cap
tured the whole orient, and princes
and potentatcs are clamoring for his
goods. Missionaries were responsible
for the introduction of the lamps.
Many of the buyers are exalted per-
sonages. The lamps go to the en-
peror of Slams palace at Bangkok, to
the sultan of Morocco's palace at Mo-
rocco, and to number of caliphs at
Damascus and viziers at Bagdad.
These lamps burn kerosene oil, but
they have no chimneys. BY n me-
chanical device air is forced into the
flame, which gives n clear white light
equal to 2O-candle power.

that the men worked an ingenious

out OF the product OF their mines, and
offered to sell the same. The coins
were never sent, however.
