BOUND TO HAVE THEIR LIQUOR
Kansans Organise . Baryiag Assoel.
alton fer the Purpose Of Sat.
fsfying Their Thirst.

All sorts Of subterfuges have been re-
sorted to by tho Kansas people In evad-
ing the prohibition law, but the most
extraordinary one SO far heard Of Is
reported here, where there has been fot
some time an organization known as
the German Burial association, says the
Newton Kansan. To all appearances
this society has been engaged only in
the work Of caring for the dead after
the fashion Of burial associations every
where. The surprise Of the people may
be appreciated, therefore, when the
sheriff swooped down on the associa-
tion's rooms, arrested the association
officials, and captured large amount Of
liquor. The chief Official pleaded guilty
and was fined 500, and the liquors were
destroyed by the order of the court,
after it had been determined that the
association was in reality nothing but
a drinking club.
The manner in which the character
of the place became known to the OH
.cials is rather interesting. One of the
members Of the association had broken
one Of its rules and the board had fined
him SIS. For this sum he gave his note,
but when it fell due he failed to pay it.
Thereupon the association garnisheed
his wages, and, made angry by this pro-
ceeding, he went to the county attorney
and revealed the secrets Of the order.

A Marrow Escape.

Charles Trace from Burlington
nearly ran over r. F. Hawley's
little girls as he was driving into
the city Saturday morning and
for a time his heart was up in
his throat. He was not looking
at the street and his horses were
going at a lively clip, when the
children passed in front of the
team. He saw the children when
the horses were but six feet from
the little girls and exerting all of
his strength, he brought the ami
mails back on the hind legs saw
ing the children's lives. The mo.
Their stood near screaming and
powerless to do anything.

More About Stammen's Oats.

Sometime ago a man left a load
OF oats and an old wagon at the
home of John Stammen near
Foxholm and since that time
nothing has been heard of him.
Last seen, he was riding one of
his horses over a hill. This was
nearly a year ago. Several let
ters addressed to Bruno p. Wal
ter were found in the wagon. and
they were written by his wife and
mailed at Hayes, S. D. The In
dependent this week received a
letter from Mrs. Walter saying
that she does not know where
her husband is and she believes
he is dead. She wants Mr.. SIAM
men to sell the oats and wagon
and send her the money. There
is nothing to indicate that the
wagon belonged to Walter and
if the oats were in his possession,
it looks as if he, Walter, had
stolen them.

With Pigs and Dogs.

A farmer a few miles south of
Mohall mistreated his II year
old daughter SO badly, that the
ladies of Mohall took her away
and cared for her. She had to
sleep in a place where pigs and
dogs were kept and was in a
very filthy condition. The father
saw his child on the streets Of
Mohall the other day and at
tempted to take her away from
a woman. A lively tussle ensued
in which the woman came out
victorious. The father states
that he will provide a better place
for his child if she is allowed to
return to his home.

WHITE LINES IN F1NGER-NA1LS
German Medical Expert Says They
Are an Indication Of
DegeneFacy. ,..

A medical writer in the Frankfurter
Zeitung gives some curious particulars
about the white lines which cross fin
ger nails. These are signs of disturb
ance in the organism at the time they
were formed. They often form during
serious illness.
The proportion of normally consti-
tuted persons who have these lines on
their finger nails is from ten to II per
cent, while 46 per cent. of criminals
have them, n per cent. of the demi-
monde, 43 per cent. of idiots, and so
per cent of lunatics Sufferers from
melancholia show a large percentage.
but the largest percentage isis
among those who are periodically dan
gerous lunatics.
The writer comes to the conclusion
that these lines denote some degeneracy
of the upper nervous system; that they
the not purely physical, but are con-
nected with physical, moral, and intel
lectual change.

People in Ward county do not
feel badly over the recent storms
and say that there was not much
loss as a result. They are now
telling that the snow storm was
really a good thing and that it
almost assures a bumper crop in
that section OF the country next
year. That is just like North
Dakota enthusiasts everywhere,
they are never discouraged and
can at all times and under all
circumstances see that conditions
are improving and that there is
a chance for them to be benefited.
