, SUIT TO RESTRICT LIMITS
Farm Land Owners Would Dodge City
go y Taxes at Chamberlain.


=! =. Y Taxes at Chamberlain.
I, CHAMBERLAIN S. Dan action has
been started In district court by. persons
owning real estate In the outlying districts
of Chamberlain to have their land placed
outside the city limits. During the boom
days the corporate limits were extended
In all directions. and some owning farm
lands that were brought within the city
limits have decided they would rather pay
taxes in the township than the city. The
point brought up is a novel one, for while
incorporate limits are frequently extended,
the record Is meager as to the reverse ac-s
ton.
Despite the fact that July is a harvest
month, the list Of filings handled at the
local United States land office maintained
the extraordinary record of the past sew
eral months. "A detailed record for July is
as follows: One hundred and sixty-nine
original homestead entries, 23,970 acres;
nineteen final homestead proofs, 1876
acres; fortyfive committed homestead
proofs. .7,776 acres, or total of 2ss entries
and 34,720 acres.

SAFEGUARD ON MILK
The Mound View Decision q Help
to the City Dealth De-
partment.
About the Only Losers Appear to
Be the Dairymen Them
selves.
partlnent

BY order of Judge Brooks the: manda-
mus secured by Nelson & Johnson, dairy
men,, compelling the state board Of health
and the board of health of the town of
Mound View to kill and pay two thirds
of- the, value of cattle condemned by the
Minneapolis board of health, has been
quashed. The dairymen appear to be the
only losers. They cannot compel the au-
thorities to kill the cattle, neither can
they sell milk In this city until the ami
mails are disposed of.
The case has long bene pending In sew
eral courts and in various forms. The
trouble began when the Minneapolis board
! of health had an inspector visit the Nell
son & Jackson dairy herd. Tests showed
large number of the cattle affected with
tuberculosis. hTe town board Of Mound
| View refused to report the condemned
COWS to the state board which would then
nave had to kill the diseased animals and
the town board was not willing to pay it's
one-thlrd OF the value as required by law
The Minneapolis board refused to license
| the dairymen because the condemnation
had not been acted on and then the litiga
tlon arose which has resulted in leaving
| all parties just where they were at the
| beginning.
Judge Brooks decision does not affect
our position in the least said City Health
| OFFICER Hall this morning. sour sconten-
tlon IS that We have the right to inspect
| all dalrles which supply milk to Minneap-
Oils, and that right is upheld by the court
| He holds that the town boards are not
bound to report our condemnations to- the
state board, and thus have the cattle
Killed. That does not, however, interfere
with our prerogatives in the matter of
Keeping infected milk of Minneapolis.
Our aim is to give this city a pure milk
supply and we can do so under the present
ruling. = x-zs - :. q a4->.-. x - D..
The persons harmed are the dairymen
| Fhey are between the devil and the deep
| sea, as Judg Brooks states in his decision
the remedy lies not in the courts but in
! the legislature, I haye s1nited with the
| dairymen and we are going to do every
| thing in our power to secure such legis-
latlon as will compel town boards to act
| upon our inspections and report them to
| the state board. which will then be COM
PEELED to kill the condemned cattle and
| both the state and the town will have to
| pay third Of the cows value to the

Gently as a Yale student and an art stu

MIR. Forman was graduted at Yale in
1898. and in his course there had done
such promising work in the art depart
ment that his teachers encouraged him
to consider it as a field for serious work
This accorded well with his inclination
and he went to Paris and spent two years
studying in the famous ateliers there, pc
coming thoroughly saturated with the ar
tist life that is now furnishing him much
valuable and fascinating literary material.
On his return to this country, after
short residence in Minneapolis, he went
to New York and continued his art
studies. At the same time he began to
try to dispose of some of his drawings,
for he was aiming at illustrating. He
had made very creditable beginning, but
in a moment of encouragement at the
long road that leads to artistic success,
he tried his hand at some word sketches,
sending one to the Smart Set 1t was
promptly accepted and he was asked to
send more. Almost imm tely he be-
came a regular contributor and scarcely
a number of the last two years has failed
to have contribution from his pen. He
was able within few months to drop the
unpleasant practice of sending his manu-
scripts around to the publishers, for he

~. ED CONNOR'S FISH FOUND
sleuths Follow Up Missing Pickere]
of Chiefs Secretary. !.

Edwin M Connor. secretary to Super
intendent Of Police tEdiJ. Conroy. was the
proud recipient Saturday 5of a 15=pound
pickerel the gift Of an adniring friend
from Lake Minnetonka. The fish was
placed on the outside window sill where
It would be cool until Connor was ready
to go home. He proudly exhibited the
fish to every one who came into police
headquarters and told what an exciting
fight his friend had, in bringing it through
the hole in the ice. ,
The story drifted about the city hall
that a fine large pickerel was lying on
the outside, window sill of police head
quarters and finally reached the ears of
some evil-minded persons. A little later,
when Conner went to look at his prize. it
was gone Connor thought joke was
ebing played on him by some of his
friends, and accused several.
They all protested their innocence. Con-
nor then consulted with Chief of Police
Conroy, to whom had been promised part
of the fish. AS result, detectives were
detailed and this morning the fish was
found in downtown fish market where
it had been left to be dressed and delivered
to Mr.. Connor.

a full owl car service. For two weeks cars
have been run hourly all night on specific
lines Although the patronage has not
been large, the street railway company

The continuation of the service depends
a good deal upon the patronage Of public.
The street railway officials have not given
out any limit after which time the SER

JONES COMES TO GRIEF
Noted Amateur Reinsman Tips Over
for the First Time, "a ~,;

R. T. Jones, who prdes himself upon
his skill as reinsman. and who has
handled all sorts of horses for a decade
or two without an accident, came to grief
yesterday afternoon. He is not telling
his friends much about the accident. but
so far as can be learned from pecing to-
gether the testimony of various witnesses,
a patent shaft fastener seems to have
been the cause Of the trouble. :
Mr.. Jones was eating up space on Port
land avenue, seated behind his fiery trot-
ter Big Ike, when the new fastener went
on strike. The driver does not retain a
clear recollection of what happened. but
there was a snap, tip and the buggy
lay upon one side. while Mr.. Jones care
fully smeared the dust of Portland ave-
nue. into his most cherished pair of
trousers.
The drive was. indefinitely postponed
and the buggy is in the hospital. Mr.
Jones says the oldfashioned equipmen
is good enough for him.

quiet-actually still And yet we grow
only in passive moments. 1t is the worry

sorrow, it isn't the work itself. When
we learn to be calm, to rest when we are

we will be healthy and happy. This beer
