Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for persistant
and unmerciful torture has perhaps nev.
er been equaled. Joe Golobick of Cou.

ed insufferable pain from Rheumatism

trio Bitters and it's the greatest medicine
on earth for that trouble. A few bottles

FOR, JUDGE, SEVENTH JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT, WI. .KNEESHAW.

The judicial convention for the seventh
judicial district was held at Grafton last
Friday evening. The delegates from this
and Cavalier county were nearly all pre-
sent in person. There were, however,
comparatively few of the Walsh county
delegation present. Walsh county SEEM
ed to want man from that county as a
candidate, but as Cavalier county united
in sentiment with Pemblna, there was no
opportunity presented for them. AS it
was they had decided to support Major
Frame of Grafton, but we doubt il Maj.
Frame would have had the full support
of the Walsh county delegates if there
had been even fighting chance for a
Walsh county man. The Walsh county
people seemed to have no grievance
against Judge Kneeshaw, but on the con.
trary freely acknowledged his ability, but
alleged that the Judgeship belonged to
Grafton by reason of its position.
The Cavalier delegates were late ow-
ling to the train on that branch not get
ting to Park River until o'clock and
then having to drive overland.
The convention was called to order at
8 O'Clock 2. m. in the court room BY H..
H. Lampman, chairman Of the commit.
tee, and Secretary Swiggum read the
call. Mr.. Lampnan was made temper
.ary chairman and B. Prom Of Milton sec.
aretary.
There being no tontests the listpf del
,egates as filed with the central commit
tee was accepted as the list Of deiegares
emitted to participate inahe convention.
The list was then read w the secretary.

GAS.

The gas plant is nearing completion
and the first gas for, that purpose will
will likely be made within the next few
days. The piping Of stores and residen-
ces is being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible and we have reason to believe
that practically all Of, our citizens will
avail themselves of the opportunity Of
securing good light artificial sunlight"
as it is sometimes call ID. Right here it
would not be amiss to state what is nec-
essary to secure the light. In the first
place your dwelling must be piped. This
is done at the consumers expense be-
cause the piping being placed in the
walls of the building become a part of
the. property. Then you must buy a
meter to measure the gas. This is fur
nished at exact cost, $3.50. The Light
ing Co. will tap the mans and run the
pipes to the edge of the property and
continue it from there to the meter. As
to the fixtures or lamps SO to speak,
they may be as plain or as elaborate as
you desire and may be had as low as
about one dollar each. The meter will
be read monthly and the gas charged for
at the rate of two cents a cubic foot with
a discount of ten per cent for prompt
payment. Thus you pay for just what
you use which is more equitable than a
flat rate of SO much per burner. The
burners are Of different sizes from one
eighth foot up, the average burner being
a half foot, which means that it will con-
sumo ona half cubic foot Of gas in ono
hour. This size will give more than
double the light Of the old 18 candle
power electric bulb and would cost to
burn one cent an hour. The advantage
of acetylene gas over electric light is that
it is always ready, day or night and there
are no new lamps to buy as the old ones
become dim. It can be burned at its
full rate or turned low the same as a
lamp The advantages over kerosene
oil are SO many that comparison IS SUI
perhuous. The light is never dim from
poor oil, there are no chimneys to bre ak
or wicks to replenish. The drYdgery of
attending to the lamps Is done away
with, no i'll smelling gas thrown off when
turned low and last but by no means
least, the question OF safety to person
and property should be considered as
the danger of fire from this source is
practically done away with.
Aside from the fact that it will be a
great comfort to individual uses, the gen.
eral public will appreciate the new street
lamps which have been so long needed.
Indeed it was the providing of street
lamps more than the hope of personal
gain that induced the citizens who, are
engaged in the enterprise to embark in it
and they are entitled to. both the thanks
liberal patronage of 1he general public.
This method of lighting is not an ex
pertinent. Our neighbor city, st. Thorn
as has had the same light. the plant be-
ing put in by the same company. foroy-
Ter two years. The reporter has inter-
vieweda large number Of st. Thomas
citizens in reference to the cost and sat,

verdict has been unanimous as to their.
satisfaction, both as TO cost and conyen-

DO you KNOW" said an observant
gentleman, that, barring a man and a
peacock, l believe Il canary bird is the
vainest of all creatures? Both my wife
and myself are very fond of pets, and
We keep several of these little song
sters always in the house. One of the
cages was an old affair, which had
been in the family for years and was
used as much for traditions as for
economy's sake. l had frequently re-
marked to my wife that l believed the
occupant Of this cage was somewhat
ashamed of his shabby dwelling place
and observed with envious eyes the
fact that the other songsters We're
more artistically lodged. Well, the old
cage finally collapsed, and it became
necessary to purchase a new one. In
gence of my feathered friend, l made
1t a point to get him the prettiest little
brass house l could find. The effect
was magical. No ooner was he turn
ed into his new home than he began
to sing as he had never sung before.
completely drowning out the music of
theo other birds and behaving otherwise
In a manner altogether becoming his
sudden rise in life. No proud pauper
coming Unexpectedly into an inherit
ance of great riches could more grace
fully have assumed a greater degree OF
vanity"

attempts to start religious services
were for a long time broken up by Il
gang of young outlaws who drove the
ministers away. AT last the Rev. Ar
thur Davis, n muscular Christian, came.
They had given him notice that no
Methodist pnrson should ever preach
on Lower Fcrked Deer. Mr.. Davis
went to the forbidden ground and
preached to a large audience. When
the service was over he stepped out in
church and, taking off his coat and
collar, placed them on a stump. The
outlaws had gathered on one side, the
church people on the other. Turning
to one Of the church people. Mr.. Da-
Wis gave him a message for his wife
and then, facing the outlaws, demand
ed that. they select their champion.
you said l should not preach" he
sud, but l have preached. You say
I shall not preach again. Well. I say
I shall unless you kill me now. Come
on, one at a time, fair play, and Well

The outlaws looked at him in amaze

"I'm with you, Mr.. Davis" he de-
clared. ANY man who has got your
courage can be parson here as long as
he likes. Boys. step up and shake
hands with the minister"

the most reckless hunters with Il
wholesome dread. 1t was not at all
unusual for a grizzly with a bullet
through his heart to pursue and tear
to pieces the hunter, whose long, single
barreled, muzzle loading rife, with its
n round lead bullet, was altogether

strange thing, too. that, while the griz-
ely bear is an omnivorous feeder, liv-
ing on anything. from roots and nuts
to steer and buffalo meat, he has never
been known TO devour human flesh

numnn Property In CHINA.

In China every member of a family IA
property and may be sold voluntarily
or seized for debt. Contracts are held
sacred among the Chinese. and what.
ever is promised must be performed.
A father may sell his son, and this is
the despairing Celestial's last resort.
The Chinaman sells a son in order to
save the life of the boy and the rest Of
the family. If afterward the father'a
circumstances Improve he can buy the
boy back again, usually at some ad-
vance. 1t is not considered disgracefE,
but rather an act of humanity, to buy
children in China, as otherwise the par.
ents, as a last resort, must let them die
by the roadside.
