Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1S.-The United
States government has started suit
against the Western Express company,
which operates on the 500 road thru this
state. The revenue officials say the COM
pany is doing wholesale and retail bust
ness in the sale of and collections on
liquor.
The company contends that the stuff
is sold by duly licensed dealers in other
states and that it merely acts as a COM
mon carrier and it's collection depart
ment is used by the wholesalers to secure
payment in the same manner that bills
for any other kind of goods are collected
by the company: The government insists
that the company should pay a license
for every point in the state where it
handles C. o. d. packages of liquor, and
sues for $105 from each station. Many
stations are named, and the total makes
a large sum- .....
The express company is forced to fight,
for if it pays the license it will be an adj
mission of the form of the business con-
Quoted, which is in direct violation to
| the prohibition laws Of the state. 1t
would give the authorities Of every county
along it's lines an opportunity to have the
agents arrested as blindpiggers.

Twenty models Of both European and
American artists were received. The com

Gaetano TrentanOve, Florentine sculptor
of International fame as an artist in mar

The statue was made in Florence and

Of destroying it became so ominous that

Public Unwilling Abandoned.
The preparations for the unwilling of the
statue caused a furry in the house Of
representatives and Congressman Linton
Of Saginaw, Mich, presented a resolution
to have the statue removed on the ground
that Marquette had never been a citizen
of Wisconsin and that he had performed
no civil or military service. This caused
the givers Of the statue to abandon the
idea Of unwilling it with impressive and
imposing ceremonies. It was, however,
informally unveiled on March 1, 1896.
Some two months after the informal I'M
yelling, speeches commemorative of Mar
quette were delivered in the senate by
Senators Villas and Mitchell of Wisconsin.
1t was at this time that Senator Palmer
Of Illinois introduced the resolution of
