The Seven Days Here as we'll as
VI nea'' elsewhere, all heat
records were broken during the
past week. For seven days the
temperature at noon averaged
about SO in the shade, but in the
shops, the upper galleries of the
dollhouse and the more exposed
places in the yards the heat was
much more intense. Everything
and everybody suffered from the
fierce scorching rays, and what
little breeze there was astir came
down the canon like the breath
from a furnace, cruel with blasting
flames.
Guard Gallagher, up at the
hospital, was the only person
within the walls VINO had the
temerity to take the temperature
regularly during the week. His
thermometer, placed in one of the
most secluded and coolest spots in
the grounds, registered as follows
at l:3O P. M. each day: Sunday,
SO; Monday, SO; Tuesday, 95;
Wednesday, 95; Thursday, SO;
Friday, 81, and Saturday, lO2.
Of course such intense heat
added to the sick list, and Drs.
Merrill and Withrow were kept
busy during the worst of it. Only
two cases of prostration are re-
corded. however, which speaks
we'll for the general physical con-
dition of the men.
The officials did all in their
power to ease things up. AS soon
as it was apparent that the hot
spell was really here, Deputy
Warden Glennon issued orders to
have fresh cold water distributed
throughout the dollhouse once an
hour while the men we're in their
cells, and this served to keep the
temperature down to certain ex-
tent, as we'll as being a most CRATE
full beverage.
The flowers within the walls,
being for the most part tropical,
or semi-tropical, were very little
affected by the heat, but much of
the grass, particularly the lawns
bordering the shops, was burned
sere and yellow. At times the
trees were visibly suffering, and
they appeared to hang their heads
and pant for breath. For a solid
week it kept getting hotter and
hotter, and it was not until Sun
day evening, when the wiz d
swerved to the north, that any
respite was afforded.

"DooKs'' AND OTHER THINGS FOR
According to European advices,
one Frank L. Willard, a relative
of the late Frances E. Willard of
of w. G. T. U. fame, is about to
establish a matrimonial agency in
London for the purpose Of dispos-
ing of titled Englishmen and
foreigners generally to American
girls with cash to exchange for
coronets. The establishment will
be very select, so Mr.. Willard
says, and only persons of indis-
putable money and titles will be
dealt with. In newspaper inter
view, Mr.. Willard is quoted as fol-
lows:
"You would be amazed by the
number of girls and women in the
United States who are eager to
exchange their money for the
social position gained by wedding
a title. AS for titled men, we all
know they have no objection to
marrying money. We expect to
do business all over Europe, but
naturally a British title is more
negotiable. We purpose charging
a percentage on the income
brought to the husband, and q
fixed rate for the title delivered tc
the wife. The business will be
wholly confidential. Our Offices
will be in one of the smart hotels.

FORCED TO LAW BY LOVE.
Anton Praeger of East St. Louis
appeared before Justice G.. A.
Boyne and swore out a warrant
charging Miss Leezy Merto with
disturbing the peace.
''She insists on marrying me, -
he explained. "Go where I will,
that girl follows and makes love,
desperate love, to me. [ can stand
it no longer, Judge, so please
throw her into Jail, or else make
her stop loving me-"
Praeger, who is forty years of
age, says that ten years ago he
was a butler in Vienna, Austria.
Miss Merto was the daughter OF
the house, and, according to his
story, she became so violently
smitten with his particular style
of beauty that he was forced to
emigrate to Texas and take to
ranching. She followed him, and
since that time has logged his
footsteps like Butts, the boy de-
tective. Several times she has
caught the fugitive, only to declare
her never-dying passion and to
implore him to be hers. At last
she drove him distracted from the
brickyard, where he sought sur
cease from sorrow by carrying a
hod, into the courts of law. Such
is his sad tale. Justice Boyne
issued the warrant.

Powers vs.. Kitching.

The supreme court has de-
cided the case of Powers VS..
Kitching in favor of Mr.. Kitch-
ing.
The case involves the title TO a
quarter section of land near
Sheyenne river in Griggs county.
In 1889 Mr.. Kitching bought the
land at a tax sale, and took pos
session of the land under the tax
deed. Last Summer Mr.. Powers,
the original owner of the land
brought action against Kltchiug's
tax title to set aside and declare
void. The attorneys for defend
ant Benjamin Tufte and A. T.
Cole of Fargo, admitted that the
tax deed was void for the reason
that the assessment list was not
sworn to, but claimed that even
thought the tax deed was void, it
nevertheless constituted color Of
title and sufficient to set the
statute of limitation in operation
In 1899 the legislature enacted
a law declaring that all titles to
land held adversely for a period
of 10 years should be good and
valid title.
Judge Glaspell decided in favor
of the defendant and plaintiff
took an appeal to supreme court
resulting in an affirmance Of the
decision of the lower court.
This is the first case decided by
the supreme court under the '99
law and is of some Importance to
all who have possession of land
under said tax titles. Mr.. Tufte
handled the case very cleverly
for his client and is naturally
very much pleased at the out
come.

Resolutions.

Resolved, That we, the mem.
bers of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union wish to enter
our public protest against the
demoralizing influence of beer
and liquors at our ball games and
other public holidays. During
the last week an alarming
amount of drunkenness and dis
sipation was manifest in the city.
Nearly 40 kegs of be7r was
shipped in. Are things like this
to be ignored by those who have
a just pride and interest in the
moral welfare and standing of
our town and community? Must
those who have a loyal pride in
our ball team and fine apprecia-
tion for the game itself, be com
PEELED to sanction the twin evils
of gambling and drink which are
becoming such prominent feat
ures of this most worthy sport
in Cooperstown. and which must
surely cause it to degenerate?
The Woman's Chris tian Temper
ance Union is ready to do it's
share toward abating this evil,
but this is a matter demanding
the cooperation of all the busi-
ness and law abiding people of
the place.
Therefore, we would respect
fully call for a mass '4.eting of
citizens to consider this ques-
tion in all it's bearings upon the
town and it's people, from a social
moral and material standpoint.
Can we hear from others on this
subject.

Decision Of the Secretary of
Interior in Contest Cases
Of Sabey vs.. Nelson.

One hundred indictments
against parties who are. alleged
to have made fraudulent final
proof are said to have been found
by the U. S. grand jury in Fargo.
The lands which had been proved
up on are located in the counties
of Ward, McHenry. Wells and
Eddy. The parties against whom
the indictments were returned
are alleged to have failed to re-
side on their claims the time re-
quired.
Thomas j. Sabey has won out
in his contest against Nels G..
Nelson for the possession of a
valuable claim located north of
Kensal. A decision to that eff
feet has been received from the
secretary Of the interior. The
d .
claimant Nelson attempted to ex-
cuse absence from his homestead
on the ground that it was too cold
to live there in the winter and in
the summer of 1899 he was sick
and unable to live on the land
away from the care of friends
and physician. The land office
held that inasmuch as Nelson
had been able to work part of the
year of 1899 he could have done
something on his claim. The
facts showed that his house was
inhabitable by reason of cracks
that, while not large enough to
permit the entry of an elephant,
yet were of quitea size.
The decision has an important
bearing on the question of hold
ing land on homestead entry and
being absent from the same in
that it specifically recites that
the residence on the claim must
be inhabitable and the utmost
good faith must be shown in the
residence upon and cultivation of
the tract.
