A Pleasant Surprise.

The pupils of the Gallatin
school sprung a complete sur
prise on their teacher on Thurs.
day evening of last week. A
drilling rain had been falling
all day and the night was dark.
About eight o'clock voices were
heard and who should appear
but nearly the entire school not
withstanding the darkness, the
rain and the mud. Having
gained permission they led on
to the schoolhouse followed by
their teacher who on entering
was soon presented with a lovely
morocco bound volume of Long
fellows poems, as an expression
of their kind regards. A nice
lunch was served and nuts and
candy passed around. Games
we're played, and then for home
the happy scholars trooped
carrying in their tender loving
hearts the sweet fragrance of a
kindly act

The reputation of the second judici-
al district for lawlessness in the mat
ter of observing the liquor laws has
been greatly changed since Judge
Cowan took the bench and blind pig
gers receive scant mercy when con.
victed in his court. At Devils Lake
recently q man named Way, who has
been persistent violator of the law,
was brought before the court and the
first trial resulted in disagreement
of the jury. The evidence was plain
and Judge Cowan< roasted the jury
for what he termed 'swilful disagree
ment," The defendants attorneys inn
mediately fled affidavits of prejudice
against the Judge and for the second
trial Judge Pollock, of Fargo, was
called in. The second jury promptly
brought in q verdict of guilty and
Way was given q sentercs of six
months in Jail, $1,000 fine and the costs
of the trial, whichN.were about @40O.
It is the stiffest sentence yet imposed
upon a blind pigger in the state and
will do much to discourage the illegal
liquor traffic in Judge Cowan's dis
trict. -Times-R Record.

Judge Noyes from the bench on the
recommendation OF Attorney General
Knox who has carefully reviewed the
findings OF the court and approved Of
the same. This ends one of the bitter
est fights that ever went into court
and has left some sore spots in places
where those interested wanted to see
Noyes retained. He was appointed
after being endorsed by the supreme
court Of Minnesota, senator's Davis
and Hansbrough and by many infiu-
entail men. At that time he was
thought to he fit for the Important
position to which he was appointed
but as soon as he got out to Home
and away from civilization he seemed
to fall by the wayside and has been
found wanting and dismissed. In our
opinion he was ready tool in the

This momentous subject was brought
shout by . discussion rs to. whether
our representatives to the corona

wear knee breeches and silver buckles

or whether they should wear a full

difference to an American gentleman

tion since statehood. There is a cash
balance of more than 100000 in the
hands of the state treasurer, or de-
posted in the several repositories

this amount is in permanent funds of

portion of it in the general fund,
available for the current expenses of
the state. There is a total of $15, 600

that deceased had been brooding
over the renting of his farm
and the fact that he had rented
same at too low a rental. His
family lived at Valley City where
the children are attending school
and he was worrying about living
alone on the farm and various
other matters, that from the
tone of his last letters written in
dicate that his mind was un-
balanced at the time the deed
was committed. Tuesday morn

breakfast while Kelson went to
the barn to do the chores and
was to be called when breakfast
was ready. Not getting a call

Kelson went to the house and
found Baker lying dead on the

The conspicuous publication by the u.

output of our cigar industry in it's issue
of last week and our comments thereon,
which went to show that the threatened
and predicted and widely believed dan
ger of the extinction of the individual

mote if not entirely fallacious seems to
have had a reassuring effect on the mar
ket. The stereotyped howl is vanishing
and sereneness once more is beginning
to brighten up the down town offices.
The preparations for offering the new
crops are in full blast and brisk trade
is sure to keep the market busy pretty
soon. In fact, trading in new crops has
had it's innings already. a number of
houses known to have packed New Eng
land last year disclaim to have any New
England leaf to sell in the open market.
Their packings are bespoken for already
by their regular customers. For Suma-
ira the demand remains unbroken, for it
is the reliable source for the wrapper
supply. The average quantity is moving
off weekly for immediate needs. The
activity in the Havana market has sub
sided somewhat.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,
EDGERToN, Wis, August Is, 100:

The harvest of the new tobacco crop
is now we'll started throughout the
growing sections, but will scarcely be-
come general until the coming week.
The prevailing weather is much too cool
to bring about rapid ripeLing of the
crop or the satisfactory development of
the later fields. The tobacco that is 60
ing into the sheds is scarcely up to the
average of other years in size of leaf but
is unusually sound and free from imper-
fections.
Dealers in cured leaf report a trihe
better tone pervading the market. In
quiries are becoming more frequent and
some trading has been effected. L. B.
Carle & Son report the sale of 200cs lot
for the week and the shipment of eleven
car loads.
The shipments out of storage reach
but 354cs for the week past from this
station to all points. Since last report
915cs of cigar leaf were exported from
New York.
