Fayors the Milwaukee.

The supreme court has handed down
a decision in the case of Mrs. Brown
against the Milwaukee Railroad Co.,
written by Justice j. M. Cochrane.
The case was tried in Stutsman County
before Judge Glaspell. Mrs. Brown,
travelingfrom some point in Minnesota
to Dazey, this state, on the Milwaukee
railroad, was injured at Austin, Minn.,
receiving injuries which she claims
were permanent. The district court
Jury gave her verdict for 81, 500, and
the court held that she was not re-
quired to undergo an examination be-
fore or at the time of the trial by the
physicians Of the railroad company.
The higher court holds that the lower
court should have allowed and required
such an examination and sends the
case back to the district court for an
other trial.

The settlement of the difficult
ties between the Great Northern
railroad and its employees is q
matter of congratulation for the
business interests of the country
as we'll as for the men themselves.
Had q strike been declared it
would have paralyzed brsiness in
the northwest and would have
entailed a large loss to the COM
pany as we'll as to the men them
selves and there is no telling
where the matter would end.
Arbitration is the correct way to
settle difficulties and the negotia-
tions between the officials and
the men were conducted in a very
fair and gentlemanly manner and
the men seem tr have secured
about all they asked for, they in
turn making few concessions
to the railroad Off fcials. 1t was a
narrow escape from big strike.

Ex-Mayor Ames, of Minneapo-
lis, was on Saturday last sen
fenced by Judge Elliott to six
years in the penitentiary at Still
water. This does not end this
noted case as a motion for a new
trial has been made. The case
will not be finished until the
supreme court of Minnesota has
passed upon it. In passing SEN
tence the Judge took occasion to
remark that the fact that the
prisoner had held high official
position would have no bearing
on the case and that Ames would
be sentenced for his crime just
like any other man convicted by
a jury Of his peers. Minneapolis
juries will soon convince boodlers
that they will have to quit and
the courts are also impressing
upon the minds of that class that
wealth and position do not count.

The amazing fact has come out
that during the session of the
Missouri legislature of 1901 the
leading lobbyists, engaged in
procuring legislation by dint of
$1,000 bills, were given place
just back of the seat occupied by
the presiding officer of the SEN
ate, Lieut.. Gov. Lee, witha screen
concealing them from view. Here
they were able to watch the pro-
ceedings, write amendments to
measures as they came up, which
they sent to their chief agent on
the floor to be intro oduced- and
communicate to the chair their
desires as to rulings. They thus
attended to 1.-THE delivery Of the
goods" they had paid for, and saw
that no mistakes were made
by venal members. All this is
testified to by several Witnesses,
including the now penitent ex.
Lieut.. Gov. Lee himself.

Among the auditors on Wednesday
night was Mrs. T. f. Kerr of Coopers-
town, critic of more than usual dis
cernment. When asked for her opin-
ion of the rendition of the great ora
torio, she stated that the city of Fargo
and indeed the state had been consid-
erably favored. In her own words Mrs.
Kerr expressed herself as follows:
Cargo and North Dakota were both
honored last night in having Handel's
great oratorio rendered so finely, under
the auspices of an institution belong
ing to both city and state. We, who
came in from the country for the event
who perhaps had never heard great
music before, or had heard it in those
far away days when we lived back
east, will carry home with us such a
deep and abiding pleasure. and uplift

The people in Fargo and throughout

dered by Mr.. Moncrieff, form a sort of
offset by their majesty to the pathetic
tenderness of the other solo parts.
These artists conferred a great honor

them many new and to them unknown

It is rumored that McHenry is
to have a second paper. There
is not business enough done in
McHenry for two papers and we
cannot see Why anyone else
should start one. The only thing
IN the deal is probably that a
sorehead or two want an organ
that won't zip if anything goes
wrong-a paper in favor Of boot
logging and everything that goes
along With it. The Tribune fills
the field, let the opposition buy
it out.

The Courier has received the
first number of the Northern Re-
view a monthly publication
printed at Grand Forks by the
Review Pub. Co. The new month
ly takes the place of the weekly
paper formerly printed by this
company. The new publication
is certainly ''peach'' from a
typographical standpoint. 1t is
beautifully printed, nicely illus
trated, and we'll edited. It de-
votes the first number to Cavalier
county and does it up in good
shape. President Ernie Kent
and his associates have cause to
be proud of their Review. The
Courier wishes them success. It
will certainly be a welcome visi-
tor to this Office and ought to be
in every home in the state.

The Russian Bride.

A Russian bride has very much
more trying time on her wedding day
than has her American sister, for she
must fast until after the ceremony is
over and that after enduring the trials
of a farewell party" the day before.
AS the wedding, to be fashionable,
must not take place till the evening, it
is easy to imagine in what an exhaust
ed state the bride often enters on her
new life. Besides bridesmaids there are
also bridesmen, who have to provide
the bridesmaids with sweetmeats. The
number of bridesmaids is unlimited,
and they are not dressed alike. Follow
ing the bridal procession is carried a
picture in gold and silver Of Christ,
which is stationed against the altar.
The brides old nurse is intrusted with
the removal of the brides dowry from
her fathers house to that Of her future
husband.
