AGREE NEVER TO SELL
Judge cowan's Court Compromises With
Liquor Men Of WillIston.

Judge cowan's Court Compromises With
Liquor Men Of WillIston.
WILLISTON, N. D.-What is perhaps
the most unusual case in judicial annals
Of North Dakota has Just been settled.
The prohibition law provides for mini
mum sentence of ninety days in jail and
5000 fine on convictions or pleas Of guilty.
At Williston, as in some other. of the
western towns, public opinion sustained
the violaters Of the law. Enforcement
league spoilers finally invaded this terri
tory and evidence was secured on which
Judge Cowan issued injunctions. At
recent term Of court a compromise was
effected by which all the saloon men
signed an agreement never to engage in
the business again in this state and were
given immunity from punishment. The
injunctions remain in force against the
buildings to prevent further infractions
Of the law.
Public opinion here endorses the COM
promise, which is said also to be salts
factory to Judge Cowan, but the legal
fraternity Of the state is specializing as
to how the judge arose higher than the
constitution and set aside the law which
is mandatory regarding the sentence to
be imposed on violators Of the prohibit
ton enactmentA
The men who assigned the agreement
are George w. Newton. George w. Jones,
John Doerf1er, G. w. Sennett, J. c.
Dwyre, Peter Anderson, F. J. Davies, j.
S. Costello, Joe Langford and Hugh Sang.

om the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 Steps are being taken to re-establish the old alliance between the solid south and Tammany Hall for control of the government. The Star pointed out several months ago that such a movement was on the cards and under the direction of some of the old-time leaders. Things are shaping themselves openly now, as was evidenced by the passage by the Mississippi legislature the other day or a resolution introduced by man named McAllister. The paper was long and dip lomatically drawn out but it's real near ing may, without injustice to anybody In interest, bebriefed as follows;
 "Whereas the Democrats of the South in alliance with the Democrats or the East have shared in two Presidential trium phs since the close of the Civil war; and.
 "Whcreas in their alliance with the Democrats and Populists and silver Re publicans of the West they went to over whelming defeat in 1896 and in 1900; and.
 Whereas they enjoy victory far more thaii they do defeat; therefore be it
 Resolved, That we express regret to our eastern brethren for our course dur ing the last two Presidential campaigns and renew to them the assurance Of our distinguished consideration for 1904.
 Appropriately enough this action was followed by several complimentary no- tices of Mir. Cleveland by Southern edi- tors, and one of the gentlemen sent marked copy of his paper to Princeton. In reply he received the following let ter:

From the Boxton Evening Transcript.
 Lyiag against one of the pillars that support the subway roof, station man at Siollay Square last evening found a cylindrical box about six inches long. A string straggled cut from one end, look ing for all th. world like the fuse of firecfacker. He picked 1t up and show ed it to the station master. The latter official exami ed 1t for a moment and then grew pale. The whistle dropped from between his teeth. He pushed the man rom h,,n. Take it away and lay 1t down 1n something soft; and, say, lay it down easy" he exclaimed and, as the man looked surprised, he lowered his voice. 'It's a bomb-a regular dyna- init" bornb"
 The man had been holding the thing tight in his ifs: before. Now he clasped 1t gingerly with his finger tips; but he lost no time in making way to the ticket sellars office. Then began a series of frights az the mysterious object was ten derly passed along until at about half past 6 o'clock it was brought into Station 9 T'I, carriers hand was almost nerve less when he laid the thing before the policeman in charge. He leaned over the rail
 'Be careful" he said, tits dynamite"
 Then he backed toward the door. His hand was on the knob when the lieu tenant shouted for him to come back and back With his hard still on the door he told bis story, and meanwhile the lieu tenant was eyeing the bomb. The inspec- tor finished, and the lieutenant picked up the cylind.r. He took hold of the string and gave it pull Everybody jumped Tn terror, and the lieutenant lean- | l~1 hoo tva I,f aI,o held in ms hand a lady's fan. That was the dynamite bomb.
