From He Stole a Pocketbook.
Utica, N. Y, May 10. = AS recon-
pense for having stolen her pocket
book in 1888, George Todd, a miserly
travelling peddler, has bequeathed to
Mrs. Peter Jordon of Brockton, Mass,
$4,000. Todd had always been looked
upon as penniless, but after his death
a wallet was found in his pocket con.
tanning a bank book and securities
worth more than $4,000. This was
accumulated through niggardly saw
ings, the scantiest of living, suffering
in cold weather for want of proper
clothing, going without food rather
than buy. Todd had for fifty years
carried a tin box from one end of the
country to the other, always selling
something and invariably begging his
meals and lodgings. For the last ten
or fifteen years he had used wheel
barrow, and his tall, gaunt figure had
become a familiar object in all parts
Of the country..

the Society of Catholic Youths, who
were present in strong force, there
upon attacked the manifestants with
their fists and with canes. The melee
quickly became general, chairs were
thrown and women began shrieking.
The police were called in, separated
the combattants and expelled those
who had started the manifestations.

Non-Partisan Cabinet.
Vienna, May 10. - The changes in
the cabinet at Sofia are regarded here
as indicating a change in the foreign
policy of Bulgaria Prince Ferdinand
is said to have been displeased with
former Premier Daneffs handling OF
Macedonian affairs during his absence,
and to have declined all responsibility
for certain steps taken by NJ. Daneff,
including some promises made to the
Russian representative at Sofia. 1t Is
understood here that the Bulgarian
cabinet will be non partisan. In view
of the critical situation in the Balk-
ans all parties are likely to support
the policy of Prince Ferdinand in the
hope of ending the present uncertain
condition of affairs, particularly with
regard to Rulgaria's relations with
Turkey.

A "PENNY WISE AND POUND
FOOLISH POLICY.
The way the state throws away
the peoples money is a blushing
shame.
Ina=foolish,=futil tile lattempt TO
enforce, the game law the state
yearly throwsl away sufficient
money to dig 1lforty1 miles OF
bitches for drainage purposes.
TIE northern portion of Mime
sofa can never BE- develope ! U 1til
extensive drainage canlls are
made by the state. This work
will never be done until the peo-
pie of the swamp district within
the states northernm ost tier OF
counties) m ike an united demand
for justice.
We need bitches rather than
gam laws, and they cost less.
TIE state appropriates $780, 900
per annum to enforce game laws
that for practical benefit are not
worth three cents. To the usual
appropriation another $4,000.
will probably be added this year,
which will come in the form Of
license sold to hunters. This
makes atotal of $4,000 to 'tErow
at the birds" and moose.
This sum is $4,000 more than
has been expended on the total
drainage work of the state-a
workof thegreatestpublic benefit
and necessity.
According to the report OF the
state drainage com mission to the
legislature there are now thirty
six miles of drainage Ut ;hes
completed in the state, the costof
which has amounted to only
S44,955.6O. The total number Of
acres benefited is $1,000, and the
benefits to the redeem ID land are
estimated at SD per acre. The
total benefits to the land am Dunt
to S24S,O00.
At that rate, the money to be
used by the fish and game com
mission this year would, if used
for ditching purposes. reclaim
1O3,7 acres. This would mean
available homes of 100 acres each
for 648 families.
The stateswamp lands Of ltasca
and Beltrami counties can be
drained at even less expense and
with greater practical results.
In many parts of this section a
few miles of bitches rightly
placed would drain much larger
areas than has yet been accom-
plished in other sections with
four times the labor.
Think it over.
Thousands of acres Of rich land
that only needs drainage to make
itof greatest agricultural value.
Hundreds Of homeless farmers
looking for cheap land.
The state doing out "a few
dollars to carry on "experi-
ments in ditching the Red River
valley-state too poor to ditch on
a large scale.
The state squandering $50, 600
to makel a farce of the useless
game laws.
Think this all over, Itasca vot-
ers, while you founder through
state swamps with stomach full
of bacon! Then send men to the
legislature to dig bitches and not
to build game parks. Big Fork
