Dear Dir: 70 ~ =. I =,
Ia reply to yours Of the II. :, ~.
You say Major SCOTT succeeds ct
Walker. Well, it 10 more than he did
here, and he had chanse to try, and j
think someone's memory must be short,
Or they maybe do not want to remember.
Not longer than three or four NOR tbs
ago, when two indians were arrested
for bringing whiskey on tho reservation
and making trouble, they were taken to
Grand Aarais for trial. What was the
result? Simply this.-The whole town
turned out to get them away from us,
court house, bank and some of the
church members % we'll, and even sent
for the sheriff, and right here want to
say that tho only two men I came in
contact with that wanted to be fair and
square was the present sheriff and the
ex-county attorney. Now why oil this
fuss because your stool pigeon court
commissioner was liable to get tho worst
OF it, and the gang did not dare to let
him. In the first place he was put in
there, or rather, he was told that
he was court commissioner, and used to
defeat tho ends of justice, and he was
wanted . second time for the same pur-
pose, and at any rate it would not do to
sec him fined for giving whisky to tho
Indians as he would be liable to make
it it very unpleasant for the gang. And
even your paper said it was an aquital
as you always supposed it would be, or
words to that effect. Now, whom the
district attorney issued the warrant he
must have been reasonable certain of =
conviction If the witnesses were brought
nj r. nr,t hot ~ L.
and they were never intended to be pro-
! uced at the trial if they could be
.epirlted away, and two of them were, but
he main one vas at Cloquet, how to get
I'D of him was the stioker, but it was
tdone, the marshall said he had sum-
moned him but he did not appear. Now,
right here, want to say that have bsen
sheriff, and as an officer has been in near.
ly every state in tho Union, and in all
my travels never got as dirty a deal in
any place or from any class Of people a.
did in Grand Marais, and I think the at
tack on Mr.. Campbell is both uncalled for
and cowardly under tho existing c1rcum-
stances. The result of the whole thing
is this-yours truly il out just sixty
dollars and the other fellow gets raise
Of four hundred dollars for being good
10 IQe gang, ana the tax payers have to
pay the four hundred.
If Mr.. Campbell did toll the news
papers inDuluth what was going on down
here he did not lie about it for it 10 all
true according to your own story, aud if
you, or anyone else, know what you
claim to know think you are az guilty
as those who sell it to them that you
don't make complaint and have it
stopped. TO be sure I know, in q
certain way, but I can't get tho proof
you or someone that il right there on
the ground can got, and there is no
sheriff, police officer or other peace off,
cor that can do - much in q year az
some citizen can do in ten minutes, If
they will, and il they won't then leave
others alone.

The blithe straw hat has passed away;
The fates have rung its knell.
Oh, nevermore twin see the day
Farewell, farewell, FAREWELL
The watermelon, too, is gone,
And exc the cantaloupe,
Reminding us how joy speeds on
And life itself, and hope.
No more those giddy summer suits
And giddy socks wen see,
Since round the caves the cool win
scoots
And wanders restlessly
Put by lie breezy negligee,
Likewise the useless belt
ct held no pants up anyway,
Since autumn gusts are felt.
Put by the smooth low quarter shoe
That always looked so neat:
There's nothing more for 1t TO do
Since there is no more heat
Fold up. We gentle female folk,
The gauzy summer waist
That had the come and kiss me yoke,
So cheering, choice and chased.
Get out the moth balls camphor gum
And other useful things

And this is not Hot Springs.

REVIVAL OF WHIPPING POST.

Visions Of the olden times come up
when one reads that in Wilmington, Della
ware, Saturday, fourteen culprits were
punished by means Of whipping. It is a
glimpse Of the time when the whipping
post was one Of the established institu-
tions Of the country. Whether such a
method Of punishment is best or not, seems
to be answered in the negative by the fact
that Delaware Is a rare instance Of the re-
sort to this primitive method OF dealing
with persons found guilty Of criminal Of
fence. Other states have recourse to the
more humane method Of imprisonment for
minor offences. True It Is that Delaware,
by this means Of punishment is saved an
expense which other states Incur by keep
ing their criminals for long periods Of con
iinement, but humanity is Of as much ae-
count as the question Of expense it would
seem and, in fact, Of more account.
In this Delaware instance Saturday the
whipping was public, something like 300
or 400 people being crowded into the en-
closure, each eager to see the punishment
imposed singularly enough about doz-
en- women SO far forgot themselves as to
be among the number But the most Of
the crowd saw enough with the first whip
ping as the seat-o-nine tails whirled
wickedly through the air and fell upon
the exposed backs Of the culprits. Those
In the front ranks turned and tried to get
away from the sight, but the crowd press
ed SO closely that they we're obliged to re-
main as unwilling spectators Of the scene,
The subjects tied to post. cringed as the
whip whirled through the air and cried
out Justify as the strokes fell upon their
defencelsss backs. But there was one ex-
ception, man charged with highway rob
berry. He took the 40 lashes without
murmur, although after the first ten
strokes, the blood trlckled down his back
as each blow was rained upon him. Thus
we have picture Of the past, a picture SO
inhuman that the majority Of people will
hope that Delaware will remain unique in
its method Of punishment,

KEEP TABON ICEMAN.
An Ice Dealer Tells How This Can
Be Done.

This is the season of the year
when many people are wont to
doubt the veracity of the iceman
when he fills their refrigerator and
states that the cake of ice weighed
so much. In conversing with one
of the ice men of the city this
morning, he stated that anyone can
tell exact amount of ice any speci-
fed ice chamber will hold on
measuring the same. Multiply the
length by the width of the chamber
in inches, and then multiply the
sum by the depth, and the result
will be the number of cubic inches.
Divide the result by 80 and this
will give the number of pounds the
ice chamber will hold. A cubic
foot Of ice weighs 577 pounds.

About Wedding Rings.

At one time the wedding ring was
worn on the foTefnger and was thick
ly studded with precio-s stones. Peo-
pie who have seen the old pictures of
the Madonna in Rome will remember
that in one or two of them there is a
glistening ring on the forefnger of her
right hand, but with christianity came
the wearing of wedding ring on the
third finger rather than the first. The
old story of there being a vein
that runs from that finger to the
heart is nonsense. It's use originated
in this way:
The priest first put it on the thumb,
saying: ''In the name of the Father
on the foretinger, adding, "in the name
of the Son." OH the second finger, re-
peating, sin the name of the Holy
Ghost and on the third finger, ending
with Amen" and there it stayed

Teachers Will Be Scarce.

1t is the opinion of County Supt.
Nye that teachers will be scarce in
this section of the state this fall and
winter and is is doubtful about the
supply governing the demand.
He bases this prediction on the
fact that so many Grant county
teachers have applied to him for
recommendations to carry with
them to other fields where they
will seek schools that pay higher
salaries, and it is likely that q short
age will occur here.
Districts that have not already
secured teachers had better attend
to this matter without delay.

LOST HAY BY FIRE.
Five Stacks Consumed for John Ben
nett Sunday Night.

Fire of incendiary origin consumed
five stacks of hay belonging to John
Bennett at about midnight Sunday.
The stacks were located at the
rear of his residence property in the
fourth ward and the last one had
been finished just the evening prev
ious.
The blaze was discovered by
neighbors, who gave the alarm in
that locality. A team and half
dozen men came up town and pro-
cured hose cart and 700 feet of hose
which was attached to the nearest
hydrant and surrounding buildings
were saved by prompt action.
1t is believed that some miscreant
set fire to the stacks, and if his iden-
tity is established he will be severe
ly dealt with. In the neighborhood
of thirty tons were consumed.

The effect Of movements in The ether
depends upon the rapidity OF the vi
bratioEs producing them. The unit of
measurement for short waves in the
ether is the bicron, which IS about
1-25, 0O0,OOOth of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to $40 bicrors affect our
sense of Sight. the former number Civ
ing violet and the latter red colors.
The invisible rays-to which the ac-
tinic and Roen!gen rays belong--are
shorter and have beer measured as
short as 100 bicrons. Ether waves
longer than those giving light give the
feeling of warmth. The longest Leat
waves are ciglt tunes the length of
those of the red rays, or 1-35Oth of an
i:.Gh. At the other end of the scale
are electric waves above 100 feet in
length-those used by Marconi hcing

Girl Babies Predominant.

If the signs relied upon by the
'auld wives" amount to anything,
the country has a long period of
peace ahead of it. 1t is an old
sign" that when more boys than
girls are born, a war is imminent,
but when there is a marked pre-
ponderance of girl babies born in a
season, a period of peace and pros
perity is at hand. The normal
birth rate shows small percentage
of female infants over male, but
for some mouths past the pre-
ponderance of girl babies over boys
has been SO great as to attract at
tention of physicians and midwives
and recall the old gossips signs.
One prominent physician reports
that of his last eighteen births in
which he has assisted, fourteen of
the infants were girls. Other
physicians, without looking up the
exact figures, agree that far more
than majority of the cases of con-
finement they have attended have
resulted in the birth of girls.
Whether there is anything in the
old sign or not, it is certain that
this is great season for girl babies

REFUSES TO PAY.
John Simpson of Lancaster Will
Contest Poll Tax Law.

John Simpson of this city, who
travels for patent medicines, etc.,
and makes his headquarters here,
will contest the law that regulates
poll tax.
Mr.. Simpson was placed under
arrest by Marshal Budworth Satur-
day and taken to jail for not meet
ing the obligation. He claimed
that he was past As years of age
and was exempt. The law reads
so, only for old soldiers who are
disabled and they escape after 40.
Mr.. Simpson informed the authori-
ties that he owned team and would
have to be liberated twice day to
care for them unless a man was en-
gagged for this purpose. The authori-
ties learning this turned him loose
and will now take the team if the
tax is not paid.
Developments will be watched

An the Kitchen.

Eat no more carrots. A dietar-v ex-
pert says that the gastric juices have
not the slightest effect ON carrots.
They evidently serve some useful pur-
pose, whether they are digested or not,
for the clearing influence they exert on
some skins is unmistakable.
Almost all vegetables are better
cooked with the lids off the pots. The
water in which onions ale boiling
should be changed several times. A
bit of bicarbonate of soda added to
the water makes the skins of peas and
beans more digestible
Stockings and socks past all useful
ness as wearing apparel make good
holders for kitchen utensils. Cut off
the feet, fold the leg part over several
times and sew the ends together. Do
not omit loop Of tape by which to
hang the holder up. Otherwise it will
never be at hand when it is needed
