Birth Of London Bridge,


On Aug. 1, 1881. William ". and
Queen Adelaide formally opened with
much ceremony the famous London
bridge, so that the structure now is
little over seventy-one years old.
Their majesties went In grand process
sion from Buckingham palace to Som
erset house, and thence by barge to
the bridge The awnings of the royal
barge were removed, that a full view
Of the royal pair could be had along
the whole line. At London bridge a
grand pavilion had been set up close
to the site of Old Fishmongers' Hall.
1t was constructed of standards cap
tured in a hundred fights, canopied in
crimson and decorated with massive
shields. When the King stepped ashore
he said to two members of the London
bridge committee: "Mr Jones and Mr..
Routh, l am very glad to see you on
London bridge. 1t is certainly a most
beautiful edifice and the spectacle is
the grandest and the most delightful
in every respect that ever had the
pleasure to witness" This, Of course,
says the London News, was before
any one thought of building an annex
to Westminster Abbey.

BANKRUPTS IN LIVERY.
Curious Laws Once Enfo, ced In EE
gland and Scotland.

Curious Laws Once Enfoy ced In Er-
gland and Scotland.
At one time England and Scotland
bankrupts were compelled to wear a
distinctive dress. This was a result
of enactments passed at various times
in Scotland from the year 1906 to 1888.
The Edinburgh Court of Sessions speci-
fed the dress to be of parti-colOr, one
half yellow and the other brown, some
thing after the style Of the dress now
worn in English prisons by the worst
class of prisoners, those who have at
tempted to escape or been guilty of
murderous assaults ON officers. The
enactment also provided that the bank.
rupt should be exhibited publicly in the
market place Of his town for a period
Of two hours and then sent away, con-
demned to wear the dress until such
time as he had paid his debts or some
one else had done 1t for him.
Although this was a period Of laws
which can only be described as fero-
cious, this law was such an outrage
on public sentiment that in 1858 1t was
SO far repealed that the wearing of the
dress was only compulsory in cases
in which fraud had been proved, or,
curiously enough, IL the bankrupt had
been convicted of smuggling. The
same practice was legal, but not gem
orally in force In England down to the
year 1896. The Idea was, of course, to
warn persons who might have given
credit that the bankrupt was not able
to pay, but popular sentiment soon rec
ognlzed that 1t was wholly unfair to
impose excessive penalties on a man
who might have become bankrupt
through no fault Of his own, and, as
usual. when the law became contrary
to public feeling 1t ceased to be op-
erative.

John Ferrier uttered these consol-

It is not often that n finds a love
story which is absolutely a satisfac-
tory, and a fine love-story ending in
remuneration is a still rarer thing.
Such, however, is "Broken Toys with
its Roman settings and it's atmosphere
of noble love and tragic remuneration.
Another story which will interest
readers of the August Cosmopolitan is
"The Soul Of Mozart which centers
in the theme Of transmigration of
souls, a problem fascinating even to
the ancients. It is a tradition that
society stories r written by those
who have never moved in society;
but Mrs. Poultney Bigelow writes
"The story of a Scented Note from

of Heine's passion for Mathilde by
Richard LIE Gallienne, and a pretty
little Japanese romance help to make
the number an interesting one for
readers on cool verandas by the sea or

HARVEST HANDS COMING.

Minneapolis Tribune: Nearly 200
harvest hands descended upon the city
last night to lay their troubles before
Superintendent Getchell.
The complaining men we're those
who had not been taken west over the
Great Northern on their way to the
harvest fields. Their tickets called
for cotinuous passage, and they were
indignant at being in Minneapolis.
The delegation Of 200 was but a
small portion of those who went on a
train about 10 O'Clock. There were
over a dozen coaches in this train,
and all of the hands would have gone
On it, but it is said, that two cars,
containing railroad officials were
hitched on and two coaches for har-
vest hands taken off. Thus the 200
were left behind. Many of the labor

NORTH WESTERN EXPOSITION.

In recent years the Minnesota State
Fair has grown to be something Of a
northW estern exposition. It's exhibits
now come from a dozen Northwestern
states, and the exhibitors at the fair
are representative of the Industries of
a much larger number of people than
live in the state of Minnesota. For
this reason, the fair is being attended
by the northwest generally, and is
widening it's sphere of influence each
year. The national live stock exhbi-
tions have assisted in drawing people
to the fair from great distances. It
is expected that this year there will
be a large attendance from Montana
and other live stock states. The fair
opens September LIST, and will con-
tinue until the 9th. There will be
reduced rates on all the railroads in
the Western Passenger Association, as
we'll as on the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and 500 lines.

is the initial appearance of "What

There can be no doubt whatever
that the growing conviction in edu-
cational lines is that co-education is
not the success claimed for it. Some
time ago the Record Union stated
that it wa the quite general convic-
tion Of the authorities of the unive1-
sity of California that it would be in
fnilely better for both sexes if co-edu-
cation at Berkeley were abandoned
and separate colleges maintained for
young women, and for the matter of
that, they should be maintained at a
considerable distance from the colleges
for young men. Such arrangements
will give higher scholastic results for
both sexes. Attention will then be
more given to study, without such
social distractions as now operate
against it. There will not then 20
forth the idea prevalent and largely
true, that co-educational agencies, are
largely matrimonial agencies, and that
too large a percentage of the "co-eds"
leave the colleges engaged to marry.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.

The Washington Post declares that
''prohibition is a transparent hum
bug" Is it not more reasonable to say
that the "humbug" lies in the failure
to enforce prohibition laws? Prohi-
bition cannot succeed if officials fail
to do their duty. The people elect the
officials, and if they do not hold them
to a strict accountability all will
prove a failure.
In this state, where prohibition has
been in vogue since 1889, there is a
wholesome public feeling against the
return of the liquor saloon. Fathers
and mothers, and all responsible
classes are opposed to it. A vast
majority of the Republican party in
North Dakota, and a decidedly lusty
minority of the Democratic party have,
in their state conventions, given evil
dence of this fact.
The people are not to be tainted
into a resubmission Of the liquor ques-
ton by the charge that the law is not
and cannot be enforced. What they
purpose is that the law shall be en-
forced to the fullest extent. Liquor
drinking and it's attendant miseries
have been greatly diminished under
prohibitive statutes. Many people
who at first entertained honest doubts
as to the ACCESSIBILITY as we'll as the
practicability of prohibition, now
frankly admit that great benefits have
resulted from it, and that still greater
benefits must follow.
Among progressive peoples there has
ever been, and still exists, a strong
and determined hostility to liquor
This hostility is based upon higl
grounds, because the question i'm
mediately concerns the welfare of tn
human race But the moral suasionis
long since found that he could no
make the best of progress against
traffic that had the sanction of law.
Intemperance is a disease. If
cure is to be effected, the cause mus
be removed. The enactment Of pro
hibitory statutes does not lesson tn
necessity for temperance societies

find a welcome upon the rostrum, AM
he may be depended upon to co-operat
with the INT i-liquor legislator. Bot

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
Grain Commission Merchants, 8 Cham
Der Of Commerce, Minneapolis; 80
Board of Trade, Duluth:
August t h.-During the week end
ing today, the course of prices has
been downward. The September and
December wheat has declined about
10 cents per bushel at Minneapolis, and
TX to 1 3-6ths at Chicago. The pros
pect for a large crop and a early move
ment of spring wheat, and the light
demand for export, are the prevailing
influences. The rush of low grade
winter wheat is over, but liberal re-
ceipts r looked for. A large pre-
MUM over the September delivery is
maintained for cash wheat of good
quality, No. 1 Northern being from
s to 9H cents over, and No. 2 North
ern at from 6H to 7 cents over Sep
TENDER.
Cash corn and oats are also at a pre-
MUM. This feature of the market has
existed for months, and has made hard
the way of the professional bear and
short seller. In their efforts to dis
count the expected large crop they
went heavily short of wheat, corn and
oats for July, and their severe punish
ment is recent history. Their dis
com6ture merely illustrates that when
cash stuff is much higher than future
deliveries, it is a poor plan to take
the bear side. The high prices which
prevailed for corn and oats furnished
an argument for short selling which
does not exist in the case of wheat,
which is now comparatively cheap.
However, the bears are still pounding
the wheat market and may force it
lower, but it remains to be seer
whether they will not have to do the
liquidating in the September as they
did in the July deliveries.
We should be pleased to hear from
you in regard to crops in your neigh
borhood. Edwards, Wood & Co.
