Law Forbids COLI Playing.

Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the
land where it most fourlshes. But If
the law were strictly enforced north
of the Tweed 1t would go hard with
the players of the royal game in Bon
ME Scotland" Golf players there may
not know it, but they are liable to a
sentence Of death for their indulgence
in their favorlte sport. Technically
this is literally fact. In ancient
times, when Scotland always had work
for her soldiers to do, all young men
were required to perfect themselves
in archery. They preferred to play
golf, and so serious a rival did the
game become that 1t was fGT a time
suppressed and made a capital Of
fense. That curious law never has
been repealed, and may still be found
on the statute book. There seems to
be no record, however, of the law ever
having been enforced.

wyoming Has Found Two sibIes.

Two valuable bibles have been dis
covered in Wyoming among oid papers
in the last week. One was printed in
Germany in 1884, sent to John Vroom
of Rawlins with box of heirlooms
from his family's former home in
Amsterdam.
The other is copy of the celebrated
"Breeches Bible" found in a case Of
forgotten books by Judge Alfred Heath
of this town. This is an English Bible
printed in 1906. 1t is bound in oak
boards, covered with leather and re-
inforced with heavy brass clamps. The
leaves are yellow with age, but the
printing and numerous illustrations
are still perfectly legible. 1t contains
the old Testament, the Apocrypha, a
table of proper names, the Psalms, the
Lords prayer, the Commandments,
and the Canticles, all set to music The
feature of the book that makes 1T val
liable is the following verse:
And they sewed figge tree leaves to-
gether and made themselves breeches." !"

ABOUT NEWSPAPER CRITICS.
They Have Faults, Some of which
Appear to BE Constitutional


The average critic of the newspaper
does not own stock in any newspaper
and does not know the cost of getting
the news. The chances are that he has
never consciously met reporter Yet
most of what he knows from reading
outside of his own business or profes-
sion has been taught him by the news
papers. They show him every day
that the world is not what he wants
it to be and it is hard for him to learn
their lessons and especially hard to
make allowances for their faults. He
may be lazy--they are industrious for
him; he may be stupid-they are in
telligent for him; he may be timid-
they are bold for him; yet he de-
nounces the newspapers.
When reporter, working day and
night, throws the ardor of youth or the
pity of age into tragic scenes from
court where every one with a bright
heart was in tears he denounces the
newspapers. When an editorial
which he hunts for before breakfast
in order to know what to think i'm
mediately after soIne momentous trag-
edy-is not exhaustive, he denounces
the newspapers. His especial condem-
nation is bestowed upon what he calls
the vulgar publicity of the newspa-
pers.
When he reads enough papers or ex-
tends his reading beyond his newspa-
pers and his business, or, better still,
tries to prevent some injustice, he may
learn that vulgar publicity is often a
safeguard of justice. Good taste and
the modest reserve of private life too
often tempt the critic to shrink from
an open fight with oppression. One Of
the arts of the leading criminals
among politicians is to scare off the
private citizen by warning him that
evil communications corrupt good
manners. But public spirit is much
more robust and efficient, says the At
lantic Monthly, when coupled with a
familiar knowledge of the vulgar
world.

rlnnncrer Of Early pnra.

History tells Of man who had i'm
portant financial transactions affecting
Louisiana territory, and whose portrait
as a matter of historic interest might
adorn the coming exposition at st,
Louis. The man was John Law, who
was born in Edinburgh in 1861. AT
the age OF 20 he killed Beau Wilson in
duel in London. He founded bank
with paper currency, and in 1717 he
got France to hand over to him the
whole of Louisiana. which at that time
included the territory drained by the
Mississippi, the Ohio and the Missouri.
The whole scheme proved fasco and
Law died in poverty.

IT'S TRUE.

The Proof Lies in Mankato Testimony
1t is not hard to prove the claims
made for Doan's Kidney Pills. Scores
of people in Mankato testify to their
merit. Surely the evidence from

proof than the testimony of people re-
siding in some far away place. Read

BIG COLONY IN SASKATCHEWAN,
Order of ST. Benedict to Build Church
and Schools.

Arrangements were completed in ST.
Paul recently for the formation, in
the Saskatchewan valley of German
Catholic colony which will be more
extensive in its scope than any other
religious settlement that has ever been
established beyond the Canadian
border. The enterprise is headed by
the Order of st. Benedict of Stearns
county, Mimi, and it was through it's
officials that purchase of 10, 5000 acres
of land was made for the benefit of
the coIonists.
The property is one of the largest
single tracts of land that was ever
sold in the Saskatchewan valley. It is
located in the heart of Rosthern in the
portion of the valley known as Hum
boldt Plains.
The formation of an additional
colony has been made necessary
through the factsthat the present COL
onies of the Order of St. Benedict,
located all over the United States,
have outgrown themselves. The de.
mand for German Catholic education
and religious instruction has eAcour-
aged the colonists to cling together
and the order has grown.
THREE THOUSAND COLONISTS.
1t is proposed to establish settle
ment in the Saskatchewan valley which
will be in measure independent
The demands that have been made
for land for settlement encourages the
belief that within year the colony
will contain at least 5000 people
The order has planned to erect
schools and churches throughout the
colony and at some convenient place,
convent and college will be built.
The purpose is to provide every advan-
tage of religious and social education.
Early next year start will be MADE
on the churches and schools in the
most thickly settled districts.
The purchase of the property from
the Saskatchewan Land company was
made by Rev. Peter Engel, who Is at
the head of the order, and Rev Her
man Bergman, who is high in it's
councils. Both are residents of Stearns
county, where the nucleus of the
colony will be formed Associated
with them in the purchase are John
Hoeschen of Melrose, Morit Hoeschen
of Freeport, Mimi, and Fl. ]. Has
camp Of st. Cloud They will act with
the order in the distribution of the
lands to the colonists. st. Paul Pho

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co., grain
commission merchants, s Chamber of
Commerce, Minneapolis, 80 Board of
Trade, Duluth.
Sept. 24-The wheat market last
week was very dull until on Thurs
day, when an upward movement
started. which develoved into strong
and excited bull market. Since Thurs
day, Chicago September wheat has
advanced 1874 cents per bushel and
declined five cents. closing at 80 cents
yesterday. Minneapolis December has
advanced 21s cents, and declined 158
cents closing at 6558 today.
The immediate cause of the excite
ment is supposed to be corner in the
Chicago September delivery. Strong
interests here bought the September
delivery heavily during July and
August and have held it until now.
They are selling it at handsome
profit, and are replacing it by buying
the December. For some time we
have called attention to the bullish
features of the situation, which are
very small stock of wheat and -four,
the large and active cash demand and
small receipts. There are fears, that
spring wheat receipts would enlarge
so as to dress the market, but the way
that winter and spring wheat receipts
up to this time have dropped out of
sight shows that there is no danger
this year of receipts becoming burden
some.
1t is these underlying and essential
conditions that make possible such q
deal as the above mentioned one in
the Seatem GER.
There are single elevator companies
which could easily take care of the
whole present visible supply and
would be glad to get IL. The best
professionals have no fear of holding
wheat at present prizes. The decline
of ia in the Minneapolis December is
a natural reaction in bull market
1t is probable that the upward move
ment will continue right from to-
nights close. Buy little wheat. and
if it should decline one or two cents,
don't get scared and throw it over !;
hold on to it and buy a little more.
We believe that wheat bought on a
reasonable margin at this price is
perfectly safe and will make good
profits.
