THE PURE FOOD Law.

Forum: People are asking, how
about the pure food law which went
into effect January 1, and who gets af-
ter the fellows who make and sell
adulterated foods? First, it can be
stated that the legislature appropri-
ated no money for the enforcement Of
this particular law, any more than any
other law. It will have to be enforced
the anne as the laws against murder,
assault, robbery, or any other crime
against the peace and dignity Of the
commonwealth of North Dakota. Those
interested in the sale, or manufacture
OF pure foods, and the stopping Of the
sale of much of the adulterated rub
Dish which is sold into the markets OF
this state will have to go to the states
attorneys Of their respective counties,
state their al present samples of the
foods, alleged to be not as represented,
and IT the complaint is properly based,
In the opinion OF the law officer, and
there is some show for a conviction be-
fore a jury, a warrant will be issued
and the wheels Of the new law set in
motion. II a conviction is secured
the makers OF the adulterated foods
can be heavily fined, and In addition
they Will have to pay all vosts incident
to the case, analysis, ETC., and IL the
money is not paid the defendant goes
to jail.

1t is announced that the subject OF
one of the papers to be read at the
meeting of the Mothers club Saturday
is How to Manage a Husband" This
reminds us of the prize offer of the
Chicago Inter Ocean a few years ago
of $1,000 for the best answer to this
query. Several thousand replies were
received from all over the country and
an even n thousand of the best ones
were published in book form. The
answers were of all lengths, some Of
them occupying several pages, but the
young lady receiving the 1000 prize
used but three words-'tfeed the
brute" Certainly brevity was not
the only virtue of this reply.

The Minneapolis Times now admits
that Jim Hill has done more for North
Dakota and the development OF this
new state than he has for any other
commonwealth through which his line
runs, and allows that this fact explains
why the citizens Of North Dakota are
not SO much excited about thesmerger

ANOTHER EXPLANATION DUE.

ANClT1En DUE. Is
Another explanation is due from W.
H. Bohannan, the handsome secretary
of the Missouri Slope Laid & Invest
ment company. The Fargo Forum
says:
Secretary w. Fl. Bohannan of. the
N. D. Land & Investment Co., Of Bis
marck, is in the city today to call on
his best girl and incidentally to sell a
few thousand acres of virgin Burleigh
county soil. He is also kept busy ex-
planning to his friends how it happened
that all three of the Mandan papers
and the Bismarck Tribune recently
congratulated him on the arrival of a
handsome 9-pound son at his Crook
ston home. Mr.. Bohannan was walk
ing down street in Mandan with a box
of cigars under his arm and distributed
a few to his friends en- route. Some
one thought the smokes were for the
usual reason and the papers finally got
it that there was a husky youngster-
just arrived-at his home. AS Secre-
tary Bohannan is a single mar and en-
deavoring to convince a pretty Fargo
girl that she should become Mrs. Be-
hannan-the reports-demand explain
ation-and the laugh seems to be on
both-Mr. Bohannan-and the Mis-
souri, slope newspaper men-who were
hurrying him UP in-the family bus
mess.

Tn our opinion the consolidation or
threatened consolidation of the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur-

parallel, and competing lines, is con-
trary to sound public policy and also
with the exception of Idaho, is in VIC

officials of the several states here rep
resented We hereby give our unquali-
fled approval and endorsement to any
proper and suitable proceedings which
may be instituted in any court having
jurisdiction by the sovereign state OF
Minnesota or any other state affected
thereby, designed and intended to
speedily and finally determine the val

INVESTIGATING COOK CASE

FATHER OF THE YOUNG NAN
FOUND DEAD AT MANDAN IN
VESTIGATING THE MATTER
HERE-INQUEsT TO BE COM
PLETED AT ,MANDAN THIS Ar
TERNooN.
The father of the young man, G..
Cook, whose dead body was found near
Mandan the first of the week, was in
the city today investigating the matter
from this end and endeavoring to as
certain whether any facts could be
brought to light here which would as
sist in the solution Of the mystery.
From reports received from Mandan it
appears that the body OF the man was
found by an Indian who was driving
into town. At first he thought it was
a drunken man, but afterwards he
passed ii. again and on investigation
found that the man was dead. There
was a bulletthol in the left side of the
body, and a revolver lying near No
other tracks could be seen in the vicin-
,ity than those Of the young man him
self. On his person was found $12.
It has been ascertained here that
Cook formerly worked on the reserva-
ton for Asbridge and Small. He is
stated to have been thought a little off
mentally, and at times acted SO queerly
as to alarm those for whom he worked.
Not long ago he had an operation per-
formed at the hospital. A few days
before his death he sold a team and
paid his hospital and other bills. 1t
is the general belief that his death re-
suited from a suicidal act. He. was
left handed, which would account for
the shot in the left side of the body.
