What to Do With It.

Grand Forks Herald: A state drug
gist, in writing to The Herald, wants to
know what a druggist should do with his
stock Of liquorsduring the month of July,
during the period that he will be out Of
a permit, owing to the going into effect
OF the Shiels law. He also wants to know
if druggists will be allowed to keep a
small stock Of several kinds of liquors on
hand for use in compromising medicines
under physicians prescriptions.
The letter was referred to a legalgentle
man, who said that druggists should store
their stocks OF liquors during the dry
month Of July. or put them under lock
and key. A large stock of liquor would
be taken as prima facie evidence that
the same was being sold for illegitimate
might give the druggist
who owned the stockconsiderable trouble.
The best plan would be to store the stock
and store it in a place not connected with
the drug store property.
Any druggist would be allowed to
keep a small stock OF liquors that are
used in compromising medicines, to be
used only in compounding under a phv.
sician's prescription. but in no case should
he sell any Of such liquors under a ply.
sician's prescription without It being
used solelyfor compromising drugs.

Sad Accident.

Charles D. Fernald met instant death
at C.. C. Mead's ranch thirty miles south
west Of Dickinson last Saturday in a sad
manner, being accidentally shot by
Birney Reineman, one ot Mead's men.
The accident occurred about six O'Clock
in the morning while Fcrnald wal yet in
bed. The gun, a %45.calihre Colts revolt
yer, Law on the floor just in front Of the
door which opens into the room, and
when Reineman opened the door To call
him for breakfast he pushed the door
against the gun, then picked up the
weapon with the intention Of placing it
on a box which stood near, andiaccident-
ally discharged it with fatal result. The
bullet entered the left temple, took a
downward course and passed out just
back of the right ear. Another man was
just outside the door coming into the
house at the time. Mead was in Dickin
son
Fernald was a fine specimen of young
manhood just passed his majority, and
his untimely taking off is regretted by all.
He spent some weeks of a vacation here
last fall, when he was employed as ex-
pert counting clerk in the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank Of New York, and had only
Thursday returned to the life in the open
country, which he loved so we'll.
Little is known here of his family but
letters have been received this week
from his grief stricken father who re-
sides in Hartford, Connecticut. Just a
week before the dreadful accident Fern
aid was with his father in the best of
health and spirits. His father left for
Brooklyn Monday. Although Fernald
was not generally known here everyone
who knew him liked him and his tragic
death is felt deeply. With the ranch
hands he was a great favorite. The &C.
cident seems one of those strange occur
n where no one is really to be
blamed and yet where there was per-
haps carelessness on both sides.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing rooms of L. A. Davis. embalmed and
shipped to his friends in Brooklyn on
Sunday evening in charge of NIL Ayers.
: The funeral was held from the home
of his brother in Brooklyn Thursday
afternoon, John F. Mead who met the
deceased at the Mead ranch last fall and
M. L. Ayers attended the service. The
interment was in Greenwood cemetery.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle said: 1.-THE
tragic death of Chas. Fernald, who had
advanced far in his chosen calling and
was seeking wider fields for his ambitions
when the fatal accident occurred, has
come as a terrible shock to his relatives
and a wide circle of friends"

Lodge Attendance.

1t is a common remark that the
attendance upon the regular SEES
sions of our secret societies is small
as compared with the membership.
But few besides the officers are reg
ular attendants. Only on special
occasions is there a general turn
out of the membership. The rea-
son is evident. There is no attrac-
ton in the routine business. In
most instances there is simply the
business of opening and closing the
lodge, which is about equivalent to
the opening and shutting of door.
The young peoples societies of the
churches may give these old organi
cations some pointers that would
be interesting to consider-sugges
tions that might lead to better at
tendance upon the regular meetings
o. the orders. The young peoples
societies have program arranged
for each meeting. Questions of in
terest are discussed interestingly.
If every society in town would ap-
point program committee with
directions to prepare for each meet
ing an attractive order of exercises
and have it faithfully carried out
there is every reason to believe that
the sessions would be numerously
attended. Interest would be in
creased and profit as we'll as amuse-
ment be secured. by judicious atten-
ton to such a plan.

The St. Croix Scholastic
Athletic League season is at an end,
and the local High school flies the
pennant as the champion team of
the league. The season has been
remarkable for the c1oseness of the
scores in the games, scores of l to
0, 8 to 0, S to 4, and 9 TO 8, the last
named in three different games,
having been registered. Ellsworth
started the season with a "whoop"
and we'll defined expectation of
flying the rag" but fell victim
to over-confdence, and also to
pitchers Jones of New Richmond
and Green of the Normal. Normal
started the season with an awful
slump in its game with the local
High, then pulled itself together
and played good ball until the end,
when it defeated Ellsworth. Hud
son and New Richmond both had
good teams, the former probably
the best coached team in the league,
and the latter probably the best in
dividual players in the league, but
both teams were unsteady when
il meant the loss of the game to be
so. The local High had the best
pitcher, Robert Smith, in the
league, and aside from the first two
innings of the Ellsworth game, the
team gave him good, steady sup
port. Their work could easily have
been improved, but it was good
enough TO win all games but the
first.
The location of the pennant was
definitely settled last Saturday when
Normal defeated Ellsworth, putting
Ellsworth out of the race. The
game was played on Normal cam
pus before a fair crowd, and was
an exciting contest Normal led
from the beginning, finally winning
by a score of 9 to 8. The standing
of the club in the league is as fol-
lows:

Improve the Roads.

The city is doing good work in
improving the streets where most
needed. The stone crusher is be-
ing worked to its capacity and the
rock crushed is being hauled upon
the roads running out of the city.
The County Line road has been
turnpiked to the eastern limits of
the city and that part east of the
cemetery covered with broken stone.
The South Fork road is now be-
ing treated to liberal distribution
of crushed rock. Commencing near
the bridge on east Cascade Avenue
rock will be laid on the roadbed to
the turn south going towards Ellis
worth and down this road from the
corner to the hill near the old stave
mill. When this strip of road is
finished, the road leading towards
Prescott across the South Fork
bridge will receive attention. 1t is
understood that this road to the
city limits will be improved by
either covering the road bed with
the crushed rock or gravel. In the
meantime Mr.. Ulrich persists in the
good work of laying down cement
sidewalk. Good roads and good
sidewalks is only question of time
with us and as it looks now a salts
factory condition will be attained
in a few years.

Cosgrove's Concert Orchestr
was greeted here last evening by
a large and appreciative audience,
Opera Hall was literally packed and
the numerous encores showed the
favor with which the program was
received. The lady performers
were perhaps the favorites, although
the coronet and clarionet solos were
delightful and the encore, THE
Palms" played on the great alum
mum chimes was a ne'er to be for
cotton treat.
The Foresters are to be congra-
tulated, on securing this attraction
and we trust they will entertain us
again in a like manner at some
not distant day.
And some young people took
advantage of the fine music staying
to the dance given after the program.

ceeds to the purchase of some new
regaliaS.

A team composed in part of High
school alumni and in part of ex-
ball-players from other sources de-
feated the High school team Tues
day evening by score of Is to 10.
1t is but fair to say that the Highs
had substitutes at catcher, short
stop and first base, and were bat
ting against their old pitcher, A.
Jensen, now one of the pitchers on
U. w. team. The game was ragged
but exciting. 1t was played to as
sist the Highs in paying debts con-
tracted on account of the Hudson
and New Richmond games, and in
this particular it was a success.
The park commissioners are hav-
ing the trees thinned out in the city
park. We urged a greater thinning
out of trees there at the start.
There is feeling TO spare the
trees" very good disposition in
the abstract but when it is seen
that trees set thickly do not grow
to the best advantage for orna-
mental purposes it becomes a duty
to thin them so that those remain
ing can develop limbs and foliage.
Another object to be obtained in
thinning is to get a good sod and
more abundant grass. To grow
grass with success the sun must be
allowed to get to the ground.

Rev. A. G. Johnson, formerly pas
tor of the Swedish Congregational
church in Mann Valley and the Mis-
sion church here, was visitor in
the city Tuesday. He is now 1ocat-
ed at Charlton, Iowa, where he has
charge of prospecting church. Mr..
Johnson is pleased with his charge
and likes the country. Charlton is
place of 5000. Rev Johnson had
been in attendance at the Swedish
Mission convention which opened in
Minneapolis June II. While he
was so near he embraced the oppor-
tunity to run over and call on
friends in this place and at the same
time attend to some business
interests.
G. L. Barnes, a pioneer resident
of Prescott, was fatally injured
by passing train on the Burling-
ton Thursday night. In attempt
ing to cross the track in front of
the moving train he stumbled and
before he could free himself COM
pletely from the track the train
struck him, crushing one foot and
breaking his hip. The surgeons
amputated the foot and reduced the
fracture and it was hoped that with
his strong constitution and vigor-
Gus health he would survive the
operation and recover. The injuries
however were too serious and the
patient sank rapidly, passing away
Friday evening. Mr.. Barnes was
nearly rs years old and had lived in
Prescott fifty years. He was highly
respected by his neighbors who in
large numbers attended the funeral
on Sunday.
There certainly is noticeable i'm
provement in this city within the
past year in reference to the clean
liness of sidewalks and places of
public assemblages. The side
walks seldom show much indecency
as the result of promiscuous spit
ting. The notices under authority
of the city health officer forbidding
splitting on the floors in the post
office and the passenger depot, the
ordinance of the Council prohibit
ing splitting on the sidewalks and
the frequent calling of the attention
of the public to the fact that spit
ting on the sidewalk was a detriment
to health and an offence to decency
has secured this much needed i'm
provement. Now if dogs could be
made to conduct themselves decent
ly while perambu1ating the side
walks it would not only add to the
better appearance of the walks but
prevent many outbursts of profanity
on the part of the merchants. A
dog seems to be a privileged char
acter in this city. But if the fire.
quent remarks made of him were
interpreted literally he is generally
condemned.
