BLINDP IGGING

Fargo, N. D. Feb. 10. The Unit.
ed States government has started suit
against the Western Express company,
which operates on the 500 road
through this state The revenue
officials say the company isdoing a
wholesale and retail business in the
sale Of and csllections Of liquor. y
The company contends that the stuff
Is sold by duly Licensed dealers in
other states and that it merely acts as
a common carrier, and its collection
depa1 tment 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 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 q
large sum.
The exp1e ss company is forced to
fight, for if it pays the license it will
be an admission Of the form Of the
business conducted, which is in di-
rect violation to ire prohibition laws
of the state. 1t would give thesau-
thorities of livery county along its
lines an opportunity to- have the
agents arrested as blind piggers.

is THIS HORSE DEAD
Owner Contends He Is Because
He Was Ordered Killed

Whether a horse that has been or
dered killed by the Humane society is
legally dead, even if the order is not
carried out, was, a question before
Judge Hine yesterday in the civil
branch of the municipal court
The question was raised in the case
of the National Live Stock Insurance
company against o. M. Jerue, a COM
mission merchant. The company sued
to recover $3.50 premium for insur-
ing four Of Mr.. Jerue's horses.
The animals We're insured in Feb
ruary, 1903, and the policy expired last
February. Meantime an agent of the
Humane society had found one of the
horses suffering from an injury to his
foot and had formally ordered the ami
NAL to be killed. The order, however,
were not executed, and the horse was
sent to farm, where he is still living.
AS reason for not paying the pre-
MUM on the insurance policy Mr.
Jerue advanced yesterday a counter
claim Of $125, the value of the one
horse in question. This horse Mr..
Jerue insisted, had been ordered killed
and was legally dead, although actual
ly alive, and hence, as the horse was
constructiyely dead, during the term Of
the policy, the insurance company had
become liable under the terms of the
contract
Judge Hine was not convinced and
took the case under consideration

GOOD SHEPHERD
PASSES $1,000 MARK
Yesterdays Contributions
Amounting to 1910 Swell
the Total to $2,173.75

Yesterday was a good day for the
House OF the Good Shepherd. Cen
erous citizens who realize the necessity
for the maintenance Of the institution
and the good it has done in the past,
extended assistance to help repair the
ravages Of the cyclone by giving $40
to T he G II o fund. This donation
raises the total subscription to date to
we'll above $4,000, and It Is hoped and
expected that the $500 mark will be
passed today.
Thousands of dollars are needed to
put the buildings in .habitable shape
and $4,000 would not be too large an
amount for the purpose. The roof of
the main building will not turn the
rain of September shower and a hard
winter is coming on. If the money is
not raised actual suffering stares the
brave sisters and their charges in the
face.
That the outside towns, even in
neighboring states, are interested in
the work of rehabiiitating the institu-
ton is apparent from yesterdays sub
scription by Mr.. Fisher, of Devils Lake,
and the donation of the Ancient Order
OF Hibernians at Belle Plaine. Mr..
Weyerhaeuser's gift of $3.50 and Field,
Schlick & Co.'S of $25 were gratefully
received and added to the fund. Sub
scriptionS may be made to the fund at
L e G O b e office or to H. C. Nc
Nair, 32S Endicott building.

PLUMBERS DISPUTE
OVER WORK FOR CITY
Firm Objects to Member of Water
Board Taking Contract

Corporation Attorney Michael yes
terday declined to give the park board
a verbal opinion as to the right of the
Dwyer Heating and Plumbing company
to do the plumbing for the comfort
house, Phalen park. Holt & Dahlby,
another plumbing firm, having pro-
tested.
Mr.. Michael contended, in effect, that
it was difficult to give an opinion with
out first establishing the connection of
j. j. Dwyer, member of the water
board, with the concern. He said that
the law is plain that city officials are
not permitted to do work for the city,
but desired to put his opinion in writ
ing.
The bids of the Dwyer company and
Holt & Dahlby were but $12 apart, and
Mr.. Holt in making his protest said
that while he was in the city council
he had been denied the right to do city
work. He thought as Mr.. Dwyer is a
water commissioner he should also be
prohibited from taking the contract.
The members of the board seemed
disposed to allow the plumbers to settle
their own quarrel, permitting Mr..
Dwyer to go ahead with the work if
he sees fit to do so. 1t was stated that
the difficulty will arise, if there is any.

its payment for the work done.

PIONEER DEMOCRAT
VISITS ST. PAUL
w. F. keIso, Candidate for Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner, Here


w. F. Kelso, the we'll known Kittson
county Democrat, who was rendered
the nomination by the Democratic
state convention for railroad and ware
house commissioner, is in st. Paul to
meet the new Democratic executive
committee tomorrow at the Merchants
hotel.
Mr.. Kelso was not at the convention
which nominated him, and the nonina-
ton came wholly unsought. He is one
of the stalwart Democrats of the state.
and according to his friends has never
sought Office.
Mr. Kelso is not only a pioneer of
the state, but is a pioneer Democrat,
for he has called the first Democratic
county convention in four different
counties Of the state. He is especially
we'll known in the Red river valley
country and will bring added strength
to the ticket from the farming classes
in his section of the state.

BUTTER STILL SCORES
TOP NOTCH FIGURES
Two Entries in August Educational
Contest Are. Marked e8H

Announcement has been made by
the state dairy and food commission
of the result of the butter scoring for
the August educational contest which
was held in connection with the but
ter events at the state fair.
There were 3S2 entries in the fair
contest but only those who had par
ticipated in the monthly contests in
the past were eligible to competition
in the monthly educational contest.
Two entries scored 981a, three were
SO, eight were 971s and eleven were 81.
Alfred Schroeder, of Lafayette, and
R. Kuhnan, Of Green Isle, were tied
for first place with 9S1s in the state
scoring, and L. S. Taylor, Chenille;
N. N Engrebretson, Mansfield. and J..
c. Joslin, Winsted, were given SO.
Only the September and October con-
tests remain to complete the full series
of twelve contests, which will deter
mine the champion buttermaker Of
Minnesota. The educational contest
was inaugurated last November by w.
w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and food
commissioner, and has proven a great
stimulus to Minnesota buttermakers.

BATHS YIELD $8567
Receipts at Harsiet Island Ex-
coed Those of Last Summer

Health Commissioner Ohage's annual
report of the business done by the pub
lie bath shows that the receipts this
year were $S,567, as compared with
$7,525.69 in 1903, an increase of $1,041.32.
There was a slight decrease in the
number of bathers, this years total
having been 1886, as compared with
1851 in 1908.
This shows that the maintenance Of
the baths and the public Fairgrounds
on Harriet island cost the city approx
imately $1,500. The city appropriated
for this purpose $4,000, and DR.. Ohage
turned back into the city treasury
$S,567. DR.. Ohage believes this to be a
favorable showing, saying:
1.-The last season, and, in fact, the
two previous seasons, were particular
ly unfavorable because Of the cold and
rainy weather. Virtually there were
but three warm days this summer
July Is, 16 and IL. On these days there
We're nearly $4,000 bathers. This proves
that with good and SeaSonable wealth
er the public baths and Fairgrounds
would be more than lf-sustaining. In
spite of the Indictment weather the re-
ceiptS on Harriet island prior to the
cyclone were more than $4,000. As is
we'll known it has been practically i'm
possible to do any business there since
Considering tnat there are no induce
ments for people to spend money, but
that everything is done at the mini
mum cost, and the income is made of
2 and cent payments, the popularity
and immense usefulness of this munic-
ipal plant is clearly demonstrated
The season on the island closed Mon
day night, following the celebration of
the unionists. All the buildings have
been closed, but the island can still be
used for picnics. The animals will be-
on exhibition, but so far as income is
concerned, the season is at an end.

MAKES A BRAVE STOP
Patro'man Miske Hats Run.
away Horses at Great Risk

F A team of carriage horses running
.furieusly down jackson street were
stopped yesterday noon, at Seventh
street, by Patrolman Herman Miske
He drew his club, ran out into the
street, seized one horse by the bride
and struck the other over the head with
the club. The horse struck fell to its
knees after the patrolnan had been
dragged some distance down the street.
Neither he nor the horses suffered seri-
Gus injuries
The team and carriage which they
had left behind belong to Peter Stems,
contractor, Of $40 East Sixth street.
Near the Mississippi street bridge the
driver, Henry Anderson, had stopped
and had left the team in charge of a
boy named Willie Robertson. The
passing of a locomotive frightened the
horses. which the boy could not con-
troll. He was thrown from the drivers
seat and severely bruised
At jackson and Thirteenth streets the
runaways collided with telegraph
pole and tore themselves loose from the
carriage. The pole Of the vehicle and
the whiffletrees were broken.

VIII Be Necessary

The schools opened yesterday and
+ the rush for place was even greater
than it has been in the past While the
telephone service was so crippled that
little definite information could be OBJ
tanned from the schools, it was learned
In general way that the enrolment
would approximate that of last year
and possibly exceed it. Supt. A. J.
Smith looks for an initial enrolment of
about $4,000, with more to come when
the term has settled into it's routine.
Several of the outlying schools were
reported full to capacity yesterday
afternoon, and In the cases of the
Cleveland. Hancock and Whittier
schools halliday sessions win have to
be fnaugnrated from the beginning of
the term.
The telephones are so crippled" said
Snpt. Smith, that have not yet been
able to get full reports. The upper
foor of The Washington school is still
out of repair On account of the storm
and will not be ready for occupancy for
several weeks"
While the repairs on the Douglas
school have not been completed, they
are so FAR advanced that they will not
hamper the sessions materially
The opening session of the school
year was like most opening sessions,
chiefly devoted to the classification of
the pupils, but today it is thought the
real work will be pursued by the
classes.

WILL CREATE PARK
ON WEST SIDE BLUFF
President of Park Board Given
Authority to Close Deal for
Property Needed

The board Of park commissioners
yesterday decided to give President
~heeiock the power to close the deal
Tor property with which q park Will
be created on the West side, the boun-
daries nOnlinai1y being Ohio street and
the high bridge, Cherokee avenue and
the bluff
Negotiations have been in progress
Tor some time for the acquisition Of
the property needed, but the deals had
not been closed sufficiently to make
public announcement. Although the
exact cost OF the property was not
stated, President Wheelock said that
he thought the total would be slightly
over $1,000.
A. T. Rosen, the former assembly
man, and Robert L. Graham are re-
sponsible for having started the move
ment that has resulted in the acqui-
sition Of what will likely be named
Outlook park. Mr. Rosen owned
block of the land that will be used,
and. Mr.. Graham paid a part Of it's
worth to Mr.. HRosen. and together they
offered to present the tract to the city
If sufficient land was acquired to create
a fair-sized park. Negotiations were
begun with the property owners, with
the result that all the land needed was
secured without the necessity Of be-
ginning condemnation proceedings.
Highest Point in City
This park, which win be of irregular
form, and was specially favored by
the board of park commissioners for
the identifying of the bluff, will oc-
eupy the highest point in the city, and
by many of the persons who are in
terested in the project the erection OF
an outlook tower is favored. 1t is
maintained that if such a tower is con-
structed it would afford an unexcelled
view of the city and the river.
1T has long been a question with
the board as to what means could be
pursued to protect the fine bluff on the
West SIDE" said President Wheelock,
''as there is disposition to dig caves.
One has already been started by a
man who proposes to grow mushrooms,
but it is believed that the acquisition
by the city Of the property for this
park will prevent further moves Of
the kind.
Cost Was Reasonable
"All the land has been secured at a
reasonable figure, and it would have
been possible to have sent a report to
the council at once but for mistakes
in the descriptions
ouPt. NooSodui i1CA was iiiStIuCled "
plant trees on and otherwise beautify
the. block of ground adjoining Como
park recently acquired by the street
railway company. The plan is SO to ar
range shrubbery that a number OF
green houses and other structures will
not be visible from the park. The
work is to done under an agreement
with the street railway company
whereby the land becomes a part of the
park, with the exception of the por-
ton occupied by the tracks.

CLARKE'S SHORTHORNS
SHIPPED TO ST. LOUIS
Twenty-six Head Will Make Credit.
able Showing at Worlds Fair

G. S. Bunnell; of ST. Cloud. was in
the city yesterday experimenting the
shipment from Minnesota Transfer of
twenty-six head of pure-blood Short
horns to the ST. Louis stock show, to
open next Monday. The animals are
all from the N. p. Clarke farms near
ST. Cloud and will be the only Short
horns from Minnesota shown at the
international show at ST. Louis.
The Clarke animals were barred by
agreement from competition in the
Minnesota breeders purses at the Min
nesota state fair, the smaller herds not
being brought into competition with
the ST. Cloud representatives. The
Clarke animals at st. Louis are ex-
pected to make a creditable showing
of the Minnesota Shorthorn Industry.
