THE HERALD is of tie opinion
that the new registration law ought
to be repealed. The law as 1T stood
was far better than the new law.
The county commissioners nave
unearthed additional evidence to
Justify the repeal of the law. In
checking up the registrars they
found number of instances where
the officers in transferring names
from the old to the new register
neglected to transcribe the adGlti-
tional data that is supposed to
accompany each name. This and
the fact that election officers often
fail to turn in their records would
soon put our registration books III
an utter state of uselessness. Flee

An Old Timer
Passes Away


A Washington dispatch Of Sep
tember 23rd says: Il.
General Harrison Allen, de-
putty auditor for the postoffice
department, died suddenly at
his residence here today, aged
SO years. :
General Allen was a native Of
P Pennsylvania, and after filling
the position Of auditor of the
state, he served with distinc-
tion in the civil war. He came
to Fargo upon being appointed
U. S. marshal for the territory,
and from that time until his ap-
|pointment to the position which
he held at the time of his death,
was identified with the building
of the state. He was a candi-
date for the nomination for gov
ernor.in the first republican state
convention held at Fargo fifteen
years ago, being defeated by one
vote by Honest John Miller, the
Duluth grain dealer He has
frequently taken an active part
in the campaigns Of this state.
He was true to his friends, who
are counted by the hundreds in
this state.

Great Profits
Being Realized

John Christopherson Of South
MinneWaukan township, thresh-
led 40 acres Of wheat which yield
ed 35 bushels graded No. / hard,
and was sold at Sill As calcu-
lation will show that the actual
income from this 40 acres was
ISL, ,596, or $39. 80 per acre. He
had 200 acres which was nearly
as good, but to be conservative,
count the yield at 25 bushels and
the price at $1.04 which was the
lowest price for which it was
sold. This makes the income
SIG. 90 per acre, or SIS, 200 for the
farm. Land in that part of the
county could have been chased
last spring at $40 per acre.
These 200 acres would have cost
|$4, 900. The crop would have
paid for the land and left the
neat sum of $1, 200. which would
have covered the expense of the
crop and the living for an ordii-
nary family for a year. Mr..
Chris mcpherson had so acres of
barley which yield ded so bushels,
and 20 acres Of oats which
| threshed I @ l0 bushels. There

Not a Coon.

A man who runs a threshing
rig in this county employed a
colored man named John Parkers.
and.a a few days ago gave the
descendent d Of Ham a check for
his wages. The time keeper,
not knowing the name Of the
colored man. had designated him
on the pay roll as Coon. The
check was drawn to John Coon
and the difference was not
known until the check was pre-
sented to the bank. The cashier
inquired the name Of the holder,
and when told that it was Park
er, informed him that his check
could not be cashed as it was
drawn to John Coon. "A business
man Of this city who fortunately
knew the holder and endorsed
the check so that the coon whose
cognoman had caused the trouble,
went on his way rejoicing.

pension of $500 to soldiers 62

ruling. It was but a few
weeks from the filing Of the
application to the granting OF
the pension. T. G. Saunders,
formerly clerk of court Of this
county, was his attorney. He is
now located in Washington City,
and is having remarkable success
in securing pensions for North

a sad accident by which Orion.
Rayner, the 16-year-old son and
only child Of j. E. Davis, Of this.
city, lost his life, occurred Sat
urday Afternoon The unfortu-
nate boy was accidently shot by.
Harold Mitchell, a 13-year-old
companion, while hunting on the
Philip Manseau farm about three
miles from town.
The boys were approaching a
slough, walking side by side and
almost touching elbows. Mitch
ell was carrying a hammerless
double barrled shot gun balanced
on his arm with the nuzzle for
ward. His companion called his
attention to a flock Of ducks, and
in looking up, the gun became
unbalanced and slipped through
his arm. The safety caught on
his sleeve and the gun was cock
ed. He clutched the stock and
accide dentally got his finger on the
trigger, and when the gun was
slightly elevated, one barrel was
discharged, the shot taking effect
in the upper thigh and groin Of
Davis, who was not more than
three or four inches from the
muzzle. He bounded into the
air, and fell on his back, the
blood squirting from his wound
in jets. Young Mitchell tore off
his shirt, and bound up the
wound as best he could, exhibit
ing as much presence of mind as
a much older person.
After binding the wound he
ran to the house Of Richard Gra-
ham for help. Mr.. Graham at
once responded, but when he ar
rived he found the injured boy
very weak from loss Of blood, it
having formed a pool in which
he lay. He was at once put into
