A NEW ONE
CON GAME BEING WORK.
ED WITH SIGNAL SUCCESS
IN NORTHWEST.
GRAND FORKS ENTERPRISE
SHINES LIKE A ROTTEN MAC
KEREL BY r1OONLIGHT.

Herald: Sending worthless
express packages c. O.. D. to
persons who have but recently
died is the plan evolved by a
Grand Forks man and 1t is claim
cd that the thirty-nine people en-
engaged in the business have
cleared up $4,000 by working
the tender feelings of friends
and relatives.
The Minneapolis Tribune pub
fishes this account of the fraud:
Names of all persons who die are
obtained and sent to some CITY or
town some distance away, to-
getber with the address of the
deceased. These addresses are
taken and express packages con-
tanning worthless articles sent
c. 0. D. to the dead person, or
rather, are marked with the
name of the dead people sent to
their late address.
The packages, of course, reach
their destinations and relatives
are there to meet and receive
them. They receive the parcels
and gladly pay the $3.50 or SIS
that may be charged. The nat
ural feeling is to receive anything
sent to a dead brother, sister or
father regardless of cost or ex-
pense. Therein lies the strength
of the game.
The better the class of people
the better the game works, for
they are the first to receive par
GELS. Some have been known to.
upon examination, set the plck-
ages aside for three or four
weeks before opening them, and
perhaps they may never open
them, so strong is the supersti-
ton and feeling connected with
the case.
This game. simple as it is, ap-
pears to be working in admirable
fashion and is veritable coin
maker. The law, according to
several lawyers in Minneapolis.
who have been asked about it
cannot touch the promoters of
the game andthe government can
get them on no charge, for they
do not violate the mail laws, nor
do they receive money under
false pretenses. In fact, the
game appears to be bullet proof
in every respect.
A man IN Grand Forks started
it two months ago and since then
it has spread to all parts of the
United States and thirty-nine
representatives arr working it.
Names of dead people and also
expressed packages areexchang-
ed. For instance, the man in
Minneapolis sends the names of
dead from this city to Omaha and
the Omaha man sends the names
of dead people from there to
Minneapolis.
Then express packages pass
from Mime apolis to Omaha and
from Omaha to Minneapolis and
the rests easy.-Fargo Cal.

$4,000
FOR RED RIVER VALLEY
UNIVERSITY.

The above is the purposeo of the
campaign now on, and ,co-sum-
nation is not beyond early pos
sibilitv. Mr.. Frank Lynch OF
Casselton offers $4,000 on coldl-
ton that $4,000 more be sub
scribed by other parties in cash
or obligations bearing S per cent
interest, payable annually, and
the principal assured by a writ
ten pledge, to be paid sometime.
The doner may take hisown time
to pay the principal. On this plan
one subscribing 81 1000 would pay
$50 annually, or SIS on a $500
pledge.
$4,000 have been secured
above Mr.. Lynch's $4,000, 1eav-
ing just half the amotnt, or SIS,
900 yet to raise. Mr.. Lynch has
given reason to hope that, if the
full amount is pledged early, be
will convert his offer into aladies
dormitory, to be erected at once,
This is the great need of the pre-
sentand a necessary prerequisite
to the possible rapid growth that
past success makes possible.
1t is especially important that
this canvas be carried to success
full completion within the mex.
thirty DAYS. Every subscrip'
ton is conditional upon the whole
$4,000 beng pledged, and should
be calculated in this ratio of i'm
portancc.
The addition of this large sum
to the permanent assets of the
university, means that much
more will.follow. Success brings
SUCCESS.
The fact that this large invest
ment is to have mission, not for
one year butfor alltime, warrants
the trustees III exhorting all pub
lie spirited people to become
members of a committee Of the
whole to insure the speediesi
contamination of these large
plans. Think of the. sum you
could finally will to the university
out of your estate. Consult with

Badges for. Opium Smokers.

A government monopoly and a fac- tory for the prepa tion of opium has been established at Fulien. China. Hereafter all opium smokers who wish to purchase the drug must obtain from this establishment badges which are of three classes, viz: First, brass badge, which is for the government officials; second, paper badge, which is for the gentry, and third, wooden badge, which is for the common people. On these badges are written the names of the opium smokers, their ages, their ad- dresses and the quantity of opium they . are allowed to buy daily, which is to be , decided and limited by the government officials and which cannot be deviated from at any time. The interest of Americans for this news consists in the fact that from the province of Flu hen comes most of the Chinese of the Philippines. The Manila Times even thinks such method of controll- ing the opium abuse in our new depen- dency should be adopted by our govern ment.

BIG BILL FOR KISSES.
Miss Petit Is Awarded 5000 foy
 I,236 of Them.
MethodicaI Woman Who Kept a Diary Has Facts and Figures Covering a Courtship of Over Four
 teen Years.

One of the most sensational trials ever held in the foothill section of the Adirondacks was that which recently came before Supreme Court Justice John M. Kellogg and a jury in Ballston Spa, N. r., the shire town of Saratoga county. It consumed comparatively Eittle time, but it was fast and furious from first to last, and has become cele- brated as ''the Galway kissing case" a distinction that will endure for some time to come.
 The principals in the case were prom tnent residents of the town of Gal way, picturesque mountainous sec tion 15 miles from the cosmopoh- tan summer resort, Saratoga. The township of Galway enjoys the isola- tion of not having a steam or trolley road within it's cottage-studded bor- ders, while telegraph and telephone facilities are looked upon as luxuries not to be indulged in.
 The Galway people knew that for fourteen years Mir. Tittemore had been the steady company" of Miss Pettit, who for nine years had occupied a cozy cottage owned by her admirer. They had closely seen Miss Petit develop from prepossessing young girl to a commanding looking woman of 35 years, and they frequently observed that she looked much younger than many decade her junior.
 | As one season merged with another, and up to less than year ago, they made mental note of. the inseparable companionship of Miss Petit and MT. Tittemore, and it was generally be- 1ieved that nothing but the scythe of Father Time could separate them. MT. Tittemore, whois in comfortable circumstances, is the only man in Gal

Last Days

rCopyright, 1908, by G. L. Kilmer.1
 vi UNH 20, 1868, was the last day
 of desperate fighting in front of 1AM VYcksburg. That day the Fed
 erals exploded a mine under Fort Hill, a Confederate work on the Tackson road in front of General John IA. Logan's division The enterprise proved a success as far as engineering skill and human daring could make it 50: but, like the famous mine at Pe- fersburg in 1864, it failed to give the attacking party the key 10 the enemy's line, as was hoped for.
 Most soldiers if given choice would prefer charging into the breach open ed by an explosion to the tedious la Dor of placing mine. The construc- tion of the Fort Hill mine involved an advance of over 1000 feet in the enc uny's line, some of the distance being exposed to cannon fire and the bullets of vfzilant sharpshooters. The ad- vance was made step by step. Work. ing at night, the sappers opened a nrench for distance deep enough to shield themselves by daylight Dur dng the day they widened and deep ene6 the trench and at night passed on another stretch.
 After proceeding 400 feet the sappers nxcavated large square and with the earth removed constructed cover for two naval guns, which helped to cover chem in working beyond that point. These guns finally silenced the Con 3ederate cannon at Fort Hill, but not 50 much as hand could be shown above the Federal parapet without be- ing punctured. During the daytime The men working to push forward the trench had some protection from huge rollers made of wicker and filed with gbuIlet proof material. These rollers were like movable parapets, ever drawing nearer and nearer to the goal
 When the head of the trench had gbeen carried to within twenty-five yards of the fort Confederate soldier invented clever device for destroying the roller. Taking piece of portf1re a slow match used for firing cannon, he
