There is another warning to young

of Louis V. Mohor, at Orange. Mohor
was % years old, over six feet tall,

Y. VIC. U. CLOSING EXERCISES
Held in the Auditorium of the Market

Evening.

In the auditorium of the Market
Street Mission Tuesday evening the
Young Woman's Christian Union held
their closing exercises. The evenings
entertainment was opened by the
Young ladies, all dressed in white,
marching in the hall singing. Rev.
S. T. Batten then led in prayer. The
secretary's and treasurer's reports
were read by Miss Irene Dobbins. The
latter showed receipts for the year
amounting to $162.70, expenses $16l.85,
leaving a balance of IS cents.
The society," which was organized
two years ago with twenty-one mem
bers, has grown to forty-two. There
are six classes, dressmaking, cooking,
millinery, bookkeeping, physical Gull
ture and Bible study. The society
has adopted as its motto Glove one
another"
Rev. Albert Erdman was asked to
address the young ladies. He said he
was glad to know that the union was
able to make self-supporting and in
dependent women.
Reys. Philemon Sturgis, and w. Il.
Bennett made short addresses. A
physical culture drill was given by six
young ladies of the class.
After the exercises the guests were
asked to inspect the various articles.
Miss Alice Smith, of Washington
Valley, was presented with hand

memorial prize, by Miss Owens, presi-
dent of the union.

The Newark News says that the
popular opposition to the Boonton
Board of Education in turning down
supervising principal, j. NJ. McCallie,
eliminated Monday night in mass
meeting in the Lyceum in which Wig
orous language was used by prominent
citizens in giving vent to their feel

band marched down Main street and
from thence to the Lyceum, followed
by large crowds, who gathered in the
hall for the purpose of expressing their
disapproval of the action of the board.
A number OF addresses were made, the
trend of which were indicative of in

The ceremony of decorating with
flags and flowers the graves Of de

would be perhaps less significant il
the service of love were performed

of the Grand Army are becoming
so thinned and many of the old

During the progress of his ser
mon last Sunday Rev. DR.. Albert
Erdman, pastor of the Second Pres
byterian Church of this city, ex-
pressed his opinion of Sunday golf.
On this subject Mr.. Erdman spoke
extemporaneously and his exact Ian
guage is not procurable. In sub
stance he said that the attitude of
the Morristown club in voting to
permit the game to be played on
Sunday was a disgrace to this city.
He expressed himself as favoring a
state law that would prevent Sun
day golf. The members of the
club who expressed themselves as
favoring the opening of the links
to players on Sunday say that the
question is one for the individual
conscience to decide. The papers
throughout the state have magnifed
the story so that it would appear
as though war was waging be
tween the golf players and the
clergy.

The Index has been " thinking "

democratic habits in Dover, but is
premonitory of an early settlement
of the rather mixed-up political sit

finds way to do the right thing.
Now, if the ex-oficeholders who
have been making recent history in

the same exercise, they might be
able to understand in just what
light they have allowed themselves

1t is possible that we may see

regions because the operators will
not recognize the three district
presidents as members Of the con-

action, it is understood, was taken
on the advice of President Mitch

alo in conference with the district
presidents. These men are all
powerful with the miners unions,

come. And that the district

Recently it has become the prac-
tice of fish and game wardens to
board trains from Hopatcong and
other stations near fishing grounds
in this county and demand that
going fishermen exhibit to
them the contents of their baskets,
or other fish receptacles, so that they
may be satisfied that bass have not
been caught out of season and re-
tanned in possession, or that pickerel
of unlawful length have not been
taken from the lakes. These men
are acting within their powers under
the law and results have demon
strated that some such action was
necessary, for men have been ar
rested for violations of the fish laws
and have been punished The num-
Der of arrests made by these officers
would astonish the average fisher
man with true sporting blood in his
veins The true sporting man offers
no objection to the proceeding po-
1itely taken by the representatives
of the law, and willingly submits
his catch to the inspection of the
men designated by the statutes of
the State to make the examination
Occasionally, however, fussy"
passenger, feeling that the consti-
tuition has been assaulted and that
the U. S. Army and the National
Guard will fall into line to protect
him in a stand against the repre-
sentatives of the mighty arm of the
law, decides to make scene. This
man is looking for trouble-and
usually finds it Such a one was
on the train returning from Hopat-
cong Sunday night. He had not
been fishing, but tried hard to create
the impression that he had been,
and openly defed the "whole Uni
ted States of America" to search
his dress-suit case. He made a
noise--a ragged, blatant noise-and
was much disappointed to find that
he did not attract even a bit of at
tention from the inspectors Every
fisherman on the train offered the
officers every opportunity to per-
form their duties and many of them
expressed the opinion that they were
doing good work. The noisy New
arker subsidized, He Topped into a
corner and pretended to sleep
This incident is interesting only
so far as it demonstrates that men
who are fishermen in the best sense
of the word approve of the protec-
ton and the manner of its enforce
ment, which the law of 1908 affords
them. This law has been much
criticised, and there is much to be
said for and against it. There is
some doubt as to the wisdom of
placing the power of search in the
hands of young men whose iudg-
ment may not have matured 1t is
easily possible for warden to make
both himself and the law very OBJ
noxious to the public. 1t goes with
out saying that such man should
not be entrusted with the execution
of the law. Then, too, the pro-
vision that gives the warden half
the fine imposed upon a culprit is
liable to make that official over
Jealous i'll the matter. Still, it
cannot be denied that these men
have done much to protect the fish
in the lakes in this vicinity, and the
result will be better fishing and
greater satisfaction to fishermen aft
er the bass season opens on June IS.

Minnesota will not produce profitably-
this or that commodity.
sTne twelve county exhibits at the
minnesota fair prove beyond question
that any grain, fruit or vegetable not
strictly peculiar to tropical or semi
tropical climates, may be raised profit
ably in Minnesota, and that anything
possible to the farmer in any other
Northern state may be better accom-
plished by the Minnesota farmer.
The OlmSted county exhibit is again
presented by Messrs. c. C. Gray. r. C.
Keel and Louis Anderson, three of the
Oldest veterans in the county exhibit
section. They have this year discard
ed the pretty pavilion built of grains
and grasses for one of the largest dis
play booths in the building. They
have never been outside the first three
moneys, but the change in display
methods las put Olmsted county and
quite generally conceded that this year
first money will go to Olmsted.
OImsteIA Fine Fruit Display.
Olmsted is the pioneer Minnesota
apple county and it's fruit display is I'M
questionably the best and most extern
siye among the counties. The Yege-
table display is always a feature and
includes thirty-five varieties of: pota-
toes, several excellent varieties of cell
cry, twenty different specimens of
melons, fine pears, the biggest native

given way to rows of grains, fruits,
and vegetables, easily accessible to
the eye and the closer examination of
fair patrons and judges. While ex-
ercise of the exhibitors ingenuity in
building queer decorations has suf-
fered. the general result is altogether
beneficial to the counties and highly
satisfactory to patrons.
Friendly Rivalry Between Exhibitors.
The judging Of the county exhibit
will be intrusted to Judges Prof. Shep-
hard, Of Fargo, and Profs. Cady and
Green, of the Minnesota school of ag-
riculture. today. There is the keenest
of friendly rivalry existing between
the men and women in charge Of the
several county shows, and not a few
friendly wagers as to the results of the
judging have been placed among the
exhibitors and their friends.
There is not a county exhibit I'M
worthy of an extended, descriptive ex-
position. There are twelve in all, more
than ever before exhibited at the Min
nesota fair. All of them are creditable

nesota exhibitors, good yellow peaches.
Among the novelties of the exhibit are
fine specimens of peanuts and ginseng.
The Houston county exhibit, for
years in charge Of Mr.. and Mrs. c.. H.
Murphy, of Caledonia, is again pre-
sented by these veterans who have won
more place prizes than any Minnesota
exhibitors. The last three shows
brought them two first and a second,
and they are now the champions pend
ing the 1903 decision. and there is no
assurance that they will not again lift
the blue ribbon and the longest share
of the purse. The Houston county ex-
hibit is first characterized by the splen-
did showing of grains and grasses.
Among scores of grains there are thir-
teen varieties of wheat, four of barley
and twelve of oats. A nice show of
grapes occupies a prominent place.
Wabasha county is another of the
old-timers and the exhibit is again in
charge Of D. r. Howard and Daniel
Webster, Of Hammond. The display

exhibit is for the first time devoted to
agriculture. There is an excellent

and fine display of celery and vege-
tables
Renville county is one of the new
corners in the county section, The ex-
hibit is in charge of N. G. Poore, of
Bird Island. The display is exception
ally we'll made and includes the only
ripe corn, the tallest corn, fine honey
display, forty varieties of apples and
good shows of grasses and grains.
Polk county is making it's first show
and. the exhibit collected by Robert H.
Purvis, of Crookston, is more than
creditable, though, as is always true of
first exhibits, the county's resources
are not done full justice. Grasses and
seeds occupy the places of most prom
inence. The vegetables are among the
largest in the building and the rasp-
berries quite the champions so far as
size is concerned. The fruit display is
small, but the specimens of good
quality.
