The cases charging gaming and keeping gaming table against W. A. LaPrade were dismissed yesterday by order of Judge w. H.. Thomas of the criminal di- vision. of the City Court of Montgomery on a plea that the warrant on which the defendant was arrested was not legally sufficient.
 About six months ago. the sleeping room Of the defendant was raided by a number of Montgomery police officers and dice game was discovered. LaPrade and sey- erai associates were arrested and war rants were sworn out charging gaming. These warrants are kept at the police station fin printed form They read: Be fore me -------, Sergeant of Police per- sonaiiy appeared ------, who being duly sworn, says that he has cause to believe that" etc.
 When the case came up before Record CT Arlington. counsel for LaPrade en- tered plea that the arrest was void by reason of the fact that the warrant should have been drawn with the word "probahle" inserted before cause"
 The plea was overFuied and LaPrade was fined. The case was then appealed to the City Court of Montgomery.

Standard Raj Led,

Rural and sem-graded schools
wishing to draw state aid the coming
year will be interested in the follow
ing extracts from a letter recently
sent out by the state superintendent
to county superintendents:- "The
standard required for receiving spec
lal state aid as rural and semi-grad-
ed schools will be somewhat raised
for this coming year. Ventilation
merely by doors and windows will
not be considered adequate. Some
proper ventilating system must be
put in. Teachers of one-roomed rur-
al schools and principals of semi
graded schools must hold at least
first grade state certificates. County
certificates of the first grade will not
be concidered sufficient.
A circular giving tt rules and reg
ulations for the coming year will be
sent out in few days. This prelim
mary letter is sent out that the
schools expecting the aid for the next
year may have fair warning and
make arrangements accordingly.

reasonable and uniform price for
thrashing, and for other purposes of
mutual advantage to all threshers.
The prices fixed for this fall were two
cents for oats and barley. four cents
for wheat and eight cents for fax.

GET A CLOSE SHAVE TODAY.
Fifteen Cent Shaves and Free Neck
Slaves Begin Monday.

In response to continued solicita.
tons from the bsrbers Of the twin cit
les, the country BARRIERS turnout the
state are rapidly adopting the fifteen
cent shave. Already the BARRIERS of
OrtonVille, Graceville, Herman, Glen
wood and other neighboring towns
have raised to fifteen cents, and on
Thursday, the BARRIERS of Morris
agreed to join the procession.
The BARRIERS claim that they will be
able to put more time on their GUS
toners, and they will also give the
neck shave free, for which they have
heretofore charged five cents. The
advance is made necessary by the in
creased cost of labor, rent, and living
expehces.
Dr. Hulburd paid fifteen cents for
his shave last Thursday, "just to get
used to it," as he said. The rest OF
us commence Monday, unless we get
close shave today that will last till
Tuesday.

Accommodation Train.

The travelling freight agent was
here last Tuesday night looking up
the matter of making change in the
freight time card on this branch
The proposed change will probably
take effect next Sunday. The freight
will leave Morris at 6 am, arriving
here about noon. At the Valley they
viii turn around and starts right
back, leaving here in the neighbor
hood of bpm. The beauty of this
service lies in the fact that the com
pany intends to run this as mixed
train in order that those who wish
may catch the night train to the cit
les at Morris, thus reaching st Psul
and Minneapolis early the next morn
ing. In this way the road will re-
claim much of the passenger traffic
that now goes to the Milwaukee at
Graceville. Returning from the cit
les person could take the flyer ar
irving Morris a. 1:S0 a. M, then get
here at noon. Another change will
be the running of the stock train en-
Saturday instead of Monday. After
Sept. LIST the freight will run daily.
The presen: passenger schedule
will remain unchanged.- Beardsley

The Great Northern agent at this
place says that he knows nothing Of
the proposed change mentioned in
the above item.

Traitorous Feet.

A good many amusing stories are
told at the expense of servant girls
and domestics generally, but this
which comes from Chestnut Hill is
at the expense Of the mistress rather
than the maid. 1t was a new sery-
ant girl, who was, as rule, truth
full, but who would tell a harmless
white fib when her mistress re-
quired it.
One day the rector called, but for
some reason the lady did not wish
to see him. Answering the bell, the
maid very politely said her mistress
was out.
Now, in the drawing room, lead
ing directly from the front hall,
there was a folding screen which
stood two or three inches from the
floor. Behind this the lady secreted
herself.

A Case i'm Which Prayer Failed.

A Martin county farmer, living
near the south line, whose land was
under mortgage and about to be tax
en- from him, fell upon his knees in
prayer in the field while blowing.
When he got up he seized the pillow
handles with a new grip; gave his
horses vigorous lick and, it is said,
before he had gone twenty feet he
turned up little brown Jug with ov-
or $500 in gold in it. He paid off his
mortgage. Farmer Sykes, just over
the line in Iowa. heard of it. His
land was suffering from the same dis
ease as his neighbours and as it would
take about 5000 to remove the plast
or, he decided to try the same remedy.
When Mr.. Sykes arose from his
knees he brushed the dust from his
blus overalls, spit on his hands, seize d
the pillow handles with a feeling of
hope, and whipped up his team.
But, alas! before he had gone TWEEN
ty feet the point of his pillow struck
the concealed remnant of cedar
post in an old fence row, and the
plow handles struck Farmer Sykes in
the region of the suspender buttons

MACARONI WHEAT.
N. Estaque Brings down a Sample
from North Dakota.

N. Estaque returned on Wednes-
day from trip to his farm in Sar-
gent county, North Dakota He
brought back with him sample of
the nacaroni wheat, concerning
which there has been 80 much dis
cussing of late, and which is expected
to do much toward making the semi
dry areas of North Dakota productive.
Macaroni wheat is bearded wheat
as will be seen from the sample
which Mr.. Estaque has. The berry
is twice as large as that of ordinary
wheat, and for this reason and on &C
count of having little longer head,
it will yield more than ten bushels to
the acre higher than ordinary spring
wheat. Mr.. Estaque estimates that
his field in Sargent county will not
go less than 35 bushels to the acre
and may go so bushels.
AS is we'll known the season in
most parts of North Dakota has been
unfavorable this year, and this is
where the great value of mscaroni
wheat comes in. It can thrive and
produce good crop when other crops
will be nearly failure. Mr.. Estaque
says that he has a field of barley on
the same piece of land as this maca-
roni wheat, which will not yield over
20 bushels to the acre, altho all the
conditions were as favorable for the
barley as for the wheat.
Other wheat in Sargent county will
this year not go over 10 to Is bushels
per acre, and much of it is very poor
indeed.
Macaroni wheat requires to be mill
ed differently that ordinary wheat
and for that reason many millers are
opposing it's introduction, but already
there are mills which are equipped to
handle this new wheat, for they are
satisfied that it will shortly become
the great cereal of North Dakota.
The mill at Minor in Sargent county
is already grinding this new wheat
and we understand that there is also
mill at Fargo which takes it.

Renvllle's Gas plant.

The Browns Valley Tribune is agi-
tating gas plant for that town, and
in this weeks issue tells of the exper-
fence of Renville with this new sYs-
tenn of cheap light, head and power.
The item is taken from the Rem
vile Record.
"Your gas will cost you ST. rs per
thousand according to the village
council. That is cheaper than any
form of light you ever burned unless
you stole the oil.
Seas in large quantities for run
ming engines will cost $l.O0 per thou
sand. The mill has been connected to
the system and most of the elevators
expect to. The consumption of gas
by engines alone will be more than
that used for lighting and heating
"The gas meters were read last
week and showed a total consu,np-
ton by private parties Of $4,000 cubic
feet of gas SO far. This amount is
sm'l IL as but few have been using the
gas since the plant started. Its con-
sumption is increasing very rapidly
now however. About fifteen families
are using it for cooking as we'll as for
lighting. WI. Ashley is now using
the gas to run his gasoline engine at
tho mill.

COUNTY DON I PAY
SEED GRAIN BONDS GIVEN TEN
YEARS AGO.
State rlust Look to the Parties Who
Obtained the Seed Grain rather
Than to the Taxpayers of Stevens
County.


back in 1893 to 1896, the state legis,
lature passed law whereby the state
loaned to the farmers Of the state for
the purchase of seed grain. The
money was loaned to various counties
and by them to the farmers who
Herewith purchased seed grain. The
law provided that the counties should
give bonds to the state for the return
of this money, and further provided
that the loans should be first lien
upon the crop.
The amounts were taxed against
the various farmers who av'iled
themselves of this method of getting
seed grain, and for the most part, the
loans we're paid with the taxes. But
the state had poor accounts, and as q
result about $500 with interest still
remains unpaid of what was loaned
in this county.
Last year, the state auditor wrote
to county auditor Spur asking him
to levy a tax to take up these bonds,
but under the instructions Of the
county attorney, the tax was not
levied. Recently, the state auditor
wrote to county auditor Munro ask
ing for the payment of the bonds,
and the matter was again referred to
county attorney Bicknell, who wrote
the following letter to the county
auditor, which is self-explanatory:-
August II, 1908
Geo. II. Munro, County Auditor,
Morris, Minnesota,
Dear Sir
In regard to the matter Of the bonds
of this County for seed grain loans
you are advised that it is my opinion
that these bonds cannot be collected
from the tax payers of this county
The law authorizing these bonds is
unconstitutional in that it appropri-
ates public money for private pur-
pose. Public money cannot be ap-
propriated for private purpose ex
cept in the case of paupers and it
cannot be claimed that this seed grain
was furnished to paupers. The state
must look to the parties to whom it
furnished seed ior its pay for the
same. 1t cannot collect its money on
these bonds by tax on the taxable
property of this county.
Yours truly, Nr
VIM. G. BIcKNELL, e.
County Attorney.
1t would appear that the law was
unconstitutional, tho this fact does
not release those who obtained the
seed from paying for it. AS matter
of fact, all-or probably all-of the
accounts which were good have been
collected, and the balance either the
county or state will have to lose. AS
the taxpayers of the county were not
the benefciaries, the county attorney
does not think they should pay it,

The SmoQt Case,

Washington, March 3.-On the first
day of the new session the new sena-
tors will be sworn in. Among those
who will take the oath of Office will be
Mr.. Smoot of Utah, against whom, on
account of his connection with the Nor.
mon church and his alleged adherence
to it's tenets, old and new, a number OF
protests have been filed. These pro
tests do not constitute proof, and as
Mr.. Shoots credentials are entirely
regular, he will be allowed to take his
seat, and the investigation IL one is
made, will be postponed until the re-
gular session of congress beginning in
December next. If there should be OBJ
lection to Mr.. Smoot taking his seat
the ceremony, under the rules Of the
senate, might be postponed for a day.
1t is intimated that there may be some
discussion of his case during the extra
session, but If SO it would precede all
committee action and would come up
either as a question Of privilege or in
connection with some other question.
