Laws Created,

-. .H.- EL ~.
The legislature which has just end
ed has turned out a greater number
OF laws than any other session since
statehood. 1t began the work early,
and the close saw a flood of bills
ground out. Out of a total OF about
five hundred bills and joint resolu-
lions introduced through the session,
practically half were enacted into
laws. This means a number of new
propositions to be presented to the
people and the courts within the
next few months. In the work a num-
Der OF important measures We're pass
ed, but among the most important
the original bills We're so completely
amended that<it will take an exam
ination of the bills as finally filed to
know just what changes have been
made in existing statutes.
The educational statutes have been
changed by providing for examination
OF all papers in first and second-grade
certificates in the Office of the state
superintendent of instruction, with
provisions which will compel denom-
national schools to more closely con-
form to normal school methods to Sc
cure certificates for their graduates,
and providing for township elections
on the matter of central high schools.
The insurance statutes have been
radically changed by bills. Principal
among these are those which provide
for valued policies, and seek to pre-
vent combinations of companies or
agents for the purpose of raising in
surance rates in the state. The matter
Of life insurance was touched in a bill
to prevent the giving of rebates for
the purpose of securing a risk from
any individual. Mutuals were put
under control of the state insurance
commissioner, and notes given to such
companies were made non-negotiable.
Beneficiary companies were exempted
from taxes to the state.
Game and fish laws were amended
to prevent the shipping Of game out
OF the state; allowing a Jail sentence
as well al a fine for violation of game
laws; and the number of birds which
may be killed by any one hunter in
one day vas reduced.
The mining laws of the state were
materially modified in the way OF
provisions governing the control OF
mining machinery, and in. regard tc
locating and holding mining claims.
The laws regarding artesian wells
were changed in regard to public con
troll of water from such wells, rights
of condemnation for public wells, and
providing for sinking funds.
The corporation laws were materi
ally modified, in a manner which it is
hoped will bring a greater revenue
into the state treasury from thi:
source. The charter fees were in.
creased on a capitalization basis, ant
greater powers granted to a com,
pany organized under the laws of the
state.

Important Case.

A case from Moody county which
has attracted much attention has Just
been decided by the land department
at Washington. It involves the south
west quarter of section 6, in town
ship 10s, range As. valued at over S.
600. The heirs failed to prove up
within thirteen years after filing, and
Frank lowering jumped the claim
about a year ago. The heirs were the
widow and minor children, who have
been living in Minnesota, believing all
the time that they had good title to
the land. After lowering jumped the
claim the widow, Mrs. Casserly, began
proceeding to prove up, but her proof
was rejected at Mitchell and the case
was thereupon appealed to Washing
ton, which decides in her favor.

Transvaal to Be Crown Colony

The announcement in the British
parliament of the future military ar
rangements in south Africa, coupled
with Gen. Botha's manifesto denounc-
ing the present Chamberlain Miner
system of government as despotic,
marks a new stage in handling Eng.
lands greatest colonial problem.
There is no doubt that the intention
Is to govern the Transvaal as a crown
colony in the sj.ietest sense of the
term-that is to say, solely by officials
appointed from England and backed
by large and permanent military
garrison. The tentative schemes
which Secretary Chamberlain men,
toned during his African tour of ad,

he said. I'VE have been up the last
three days and nights practically all
the time and have not spent much
time making estimates. In round
numbers, we have covered 1900 miles
in nine days four and a quarter
hours"
With this for a starter it is seen
that the Kearsarge on the trip across
has logged on an average of 13 1.6
knots an hour. Capt. Hemphill stated
that the best days run averaged
about Is knots, while the slowest was
10 knots. This was on the day that
the proximity of icebergs interfered
with speed
During the entire trip Commander
Abraham p. Zane, the chief engineer,
scarcely left the engine room long
enough to sleep. No small credit Is
due to Lieut.. William p. Pratt, the
chief navigator. under whose care the
Kearsarge hardly deviated a hair
from the exact course in the trip
from The NEEDLES.
In going across the ocean to partici-
pate in the naval display at kiel the
battleship Kearsarge made the best
speed for the distance ever made by a
battleship. The route from New York

Great French Poet.

Charles Dumas, who has been hon.
ored by the Society Of Men of Letters
of Paris with the Suly-Prudhomme
prize, which is equivalent to being
made poet laureate of France, is an
exceedingly young man, just out of
his teens, His poetical works have
the fire of genius and he seems to be
possessed of more than the average
mental balance for poet. He is the
rising poetical star, and his recogni-
ton by so important a critical body
as the society of which Marcel Pre-
vost is president is as great COM
pliment as the bestowal of the lau.

Caran D'Ache, perhaps the first Of

of Loubet to England as pure persi-

represents France and England as
the two high contracting parties to
the following weighty convention:

and to remember them as seldom as
possible. In consideration whereof
England consents to forget all about

FASTEST IN THE WORLD.
Proud Record Held by United States
Battleship kearsaree.

With great wave under its bow
and a black cloud of smoke pouring
from its two tunnels, the battleship
Kearsarge steamed into the harbor
at Bar Harbor, Me-, July 26, ending
the most remarkable passage ever
made across the ocean by battleship
and establishing a record from Eng
land to this country for that class of
ship.
Leaving The Needles at 1925 p. m.
July II, the Kearsarge arrived at
Mount Desert rock July 26 at 1890
p. M, covering the distance of slightly
less than 5000 miles in nine days four
and one.quarter hours, when the diff
ference in time is taken into consid-

This performance makes the Kear-
sarge a worthy compeer of the Ore.
gon, which withstood the hardest test
to which such vessel ever was sub
jected on its world famous trip of
$4,000 miles from San Francisco to
Santiago.
The trip of the Kearsarge has
demonstrated that ship of its class
can maintain an average speed OF
over thirteen knots on a long voyage
with out injury to it's machinery; ;
that its coal carrying capacity is adj

full speed; that in time of war ships
of this class can cross the ocean and

1--WE had a good trip but l can i'm
agine circumstances under which we
might better it considerably. In fact,
but for a few untoward happenings
we would have come across under
nine days. AS it is, we are about
four and a quarter hours over nine
days. Our orders told us to go from
The Needles to Mount Desert rock
under natural draft. We had fair
weather most of the way, but we en-
countered one gale. about fifty mile
gale, and also some trouble from fog
and icebergs. We were obliged to
slow down considerably on account of
the latter, and one day averaged only
about ten knots. We also lost trifle
of time in picking up the rock.
"The officers and men have all done
their full duty and worked with will.
They are considerably tired. but II
they had the orders they would
cheerfully steam back again.
The Kearsarge is in excellent con-
dition, save that it is dirty, as we
took on a deckload of coal on the
superstructure deck and we have
traces of that with us. We arrived
just about the time anticipated, and
so far as everything but coal is con.
cerned could go back just as well and
rapidly. We had 1,640 tons Of coal
when we left England and now have
400 tons in the bunkers. This would
be enough to last four days under
economical steam. The trip at this
time of the year, could be made much
more rapidly If we were going from
Mount Desert Rock to The Needles
rather than the other way, as we en-
countered head winds, head currents
and head seas"

Gems. Washington and Lafayette are

Early in its history its location
made it a safe resort for the sporting
element and it was a noted place for
all kinds of sports. In more recent
years the Lodi hotel was a gathering

dog racing. 1t was the place where
the latter sport began in this coun

made the old hotel prominent were
